Man are we watching the same show? By the end of the season the US President is going to be revealed as either a holy warrior of God or an agent of the anti-Christ and it’s legitimately up in the air which way they’re going to go. I heard they might have a text-your-vote thing to decide which way they take it
You ever come across this leaked plot outline before?

I still hold out hope that they end up tying things up positively before the show gets canceled. Read it with a hefty dose of suspension of disbelief, and if you make it to the end, tell me it doesn’t nicely tie up some things that otherwise seem like major plot holes.
Honestly, I’m harsher on 7 than is deserved in a vacuum, because of how any potential it had was all squandered in 8 and especially 9. I even enjoyed parts of 8 purely for the visual spectacle it offered (krait and a lot of the space scenes especially the hyperdrive kamikaze)…hell I even enjoyed parts of Solo. I think the biggest problem was the lack of a single overarching vision for post Lucas SW. Well, that and that parasite Kathleen Kennedy
It’s not good for one’s health to wade around in feces and rot
It means never assume you’ve got all the answers, champ
You’re almost there
Some simple questions for you:
is the way that the ADL “protects” jews a good thing or a bad thing?
Should whites found our own ADL and use similar tactics for similar goals? Why or why not?
If you think the way the ADL acts to protect jews is a good thing, who do you think should be the “Leo Frank” character we rally around?
If you think it’s a bad thing, do you thus see how someone could, through nuance, differentiate between “good in group bias” and “bad in group bias”?
First you go around saying that its bad for Whites to collectivize to defend themselves
False, I said we shouldn’t blindly support zionist shills like Tommy Robinson just because they’re white
next you go around trying to equate a few Whites saying…
Again, missing the point. I’m saying that fixating on symptoms is detrimental to long term health. You would turn this whole board into a series of degenerate gore posts of blacks shooting eachother, beating whites, jewish circumcisions, tranny flesh wounds and so on. I saw you do it to ConPro. By fixating on the symptoms you infact spread the sickness. Can you admit to anything like that?
Man I used to love stand up, but it got crippled by the woke plague imo. Something about how direct it is maybe, it’s just jokes with a setup, a subject, and a punchline, made it so easy to subvert. Or maybe it has to do with the “pipeline” of up and coming comics, idk. But in the last decade I can count on one hand the acts I’ve enjoyed. Basically Sam Hyde, Shane Gillis, and Theo Von to an extent.
Who do you like in the conspiracy world? I quite like Whittney Webb, Ron Unz, Suspicious0bservers, the Carlson/Hancock ancient history gang, and James Corbett though I haven’t seen much from him recently
He don’t think it be like it is, but it do
But really, who cares, a solid contingent of whites will act the same way over claims like “we wuz the real jewz n sheit”, idiots of all stripes exist. We shouldn’t fixate on symptoms and neglect causes.
Honestly, in that case, I doubly recommend Legion to you. It walks the fine line of funny, lighthearted, and often leaving you with a big grin, while still dealing with the darker sides of reality in captivating ways. I like to describe it as “realer than real”, somehow its absurdity and its realism are intertwined. Each one facilitates and expresses the other, like Yin and Yang.
Hadn’t seen anything like it but I’ve already seen a few shows try to ape its style, while totally lacking its substance (namely umbrella academy and doom patrol, which were just pale imitations of this piece of art imo).
Train to Busan was great, and was one of the few eastern films that managed to hit my radar.
Tangentially, I’ll just add here: the Rebuild series of films for Neon Genesis, I thought were awesome in and of themselves, and managed the crazy hard task of both honoring the original while adding to the universe through the themes that Anno has grown to appreciate as he got older. I think true beauty is enhanced by context and subtext and imo he’s a master of using those tools to convey a story
Rogue One was top notch, everything a franchise blockbuster should be. Beautifully shot, well acted, tight pacing, and an interesting plot that adds to the universe instead of taking away from it (Donnie Yen’s force monk was dope and the ending was 11/10 in terms of “respect for what came before”). What a huge letdown everything that came after (and Episode 7) was.
The “make the first season enjoyable then start forcing in the lame and gay ideas” trick is a really annoying one that’s become increasingly common over the last few years.
Regarding your final thoughts, I totally agree. I made the thread to hopefully inject a little positivity today
I think that’s where all the writers with any “talent” went. Like you lay out, only real life can be stranger than fiction and still have people suspending their disbelief
What do you recommend from the East?
Godzilla Minus One was kino, but I find it so rare that eastern productions are able to “bubble to the surface” of the discussions that I ever come across. Where do you even hear about eastern media worth checking out?
They were awful, and yet I kept watching...
Yeah man… the sunk cost fallacy and the fallacy of “a true GoT adaptation has never been tried!” kept me around too.
To be specific, a lot revolves around "women being oppressioned", there's some unnecessary sexual perversion inserted.
The only thing I know about HotD is the promotional images, where they have a platinum haired waif and a platinum haired african supposedly from “a family so inbred that madness has become a common and defining trait”. Since I don’t see them doing an ethnic cleansing subplot in a modern HBO show, I’m left to wonder, is this even addressed? Or just totally taken for granted like in the other show that inadvertently canonized ethnic cleansing (rangz of power that is)
Does HotD manage to salvage anything of value from GoT? I haven’t given it a second thought because the last few seasons of GoT were just such a total piss on the rug
The worst part about Guardians was the knock-on effects it had on all marbel mobie dialogue going forward, but it was definitely enjoyable enough on the first watch
Similarly with Venom, the general “ok, not the worst thing ever” reaction most people had seems to have sent the total wrong message to Sony, with them quadrupling down on this retarded idea of spider man movies without spider man lol
Last Nic Cage movie I saw was that “the unbearable weight of massive talent”, which I enjoyed. Is that the one you’re talking about? It was a bit crazy lol not too much horror though
Vid related - my answer is the 3 season show Legion (2017). Normally when I recommend the show, I try to avoid giving too much away, because frankly “show based on obscure X-men comic books” can have the opposite effect on people these days than the intended one of sounding appealing. Lot of burnt bridges from the people putting out this media.
So much of today’s media sacrifices substance and style for THE MESSAGE. What I really enjoyed about Legion was that it had real substance, real style, and was willing to have messages, at least things it wanted to say without forcing them to contort to the monolithic MESSAGE enforced everywhere else. It addresses mental illness and it’s causes both personal and environmental, relationships and romance depicted realistically, abusive codependencies, oh yeah and it has mutants fighting one of the best X-Men villains of all time.
I enjoyed it so much I have trouble articulating exactly why, but the idea that it’s a classic comic character done well ends up being one of the more minor good parts about it. I suppose what I liked so much is just how it does exactly what I think a show should do - carry you away in the moment, with time flying by until it ends, and you’re left with some substantial idea(s) to chew on in every episode. I recommend people check out the first episode (wherever they get their media), and go into it with an open mind and not too many preconceived ideas about what an “X-men show” should look like.
ETA: Utopia (UK) is another 10/10 show, for many of the same reasons I praise Legion - though its first season came out in 2013 and it only ran two seasons, so this edit falls in a legal grey zone lol
How do you answer the question? Feel free to discuss any kind of media you’ve enjoyed recently, books games shows movies podcasts etc etc
Gay divide and conquer shit. My post history speaks for itself, but the new crowd here these last few months doesn’t like context, or nuance.
You know there’s literally multiple entire forums here dedicated to crying about nobody losers devoid of context or nuance right? Of course you do.
Ragnar is that you, you gay parasite?
You are of your father the devil, the father of lies.
Who is your main, shill?
I posted that video in this thread already you parasitic worm
I’m not ashamed of reality. You on the other hand:
Who’s your main, shill?
Does single payer hurt or help a nations healthcare system? I can see it both ways, economies of scale says it would help, the law of governmental incompetence and graft however says it could hurt.
I think the ideal situation is probably one of free market practitioners (doctors clinics etc) and a single payer approach to supplies, drugs, technologies. Perhaps also a low level government funded clinic system for the truly needy, which can like the OP operate as a kind of training area. You aren’t getting the best care possible but it also isn’t bankrupting you of what little you have.
Anyone with thoughts or insights on the matter to share?
