Warhammer was just ripping off Warcraft and Starcraft anyway. They even copied the "Space Marines" from the Terran Marines and the Tyranids from the Zerg.

And starcraft was blatantly ripping off Aliens. Its almost as if culture builds on what came before it. Such cultural evolution is a constant theme of the Dune series and why it should be required reading for all.

Actually, Aliens was a ripoff of Starcraft. James Cameron should feel ashamed of himself.

Honestly instead of the lame weirding poo poo and herbert's obsession with kung fu they should have people fight in dune with technicals and t-55s and aks because the sword stuff is one of the lamest aspects of the universe.

I just finished season 3 of Korra. Yep. It's definitely a lib show. Zaheer did nothing wrong. And Avatar will definitely age like Harry Potter.

Nice animated action scenes though.

Is anyone watching that new Ridley Scott show about robits? Is it any good?

It looked kinda dumb from the trailers, but also weird enough that it might be interesting

Last airbender is phenomenal with generally good/anti imperialist messages. LOK has good moments, but was totally hamstrung by the fact that they could never plan beyond one season. korra and her gang are also way worse in every way than aang gang. It is pretty funny how much they resisted fan service wrt the old cast, at least until season 4 toph becoming a major character

i only saw last airbender and its overrated but only because its so overhyped at this point theres no way the show can realistically live up to it

except the zuko iroh relationship and how thats slowly expanded upon to be the sole emotionally healthy dynamic in the entire hyper abusive psycho royal family now that part actually lives up to the hype

Still waiting for left libs who prefer AOC over Rashida Tlaib to make metaphors comparing their favorite candidate to Katara and whatever future Lincoln Project analogue to Zuko.

It's beautiful. And it's for the god of...of...arts and crafts. I think that's what he said.

I remember Rian Johnson talking about his 'came from nothing' twist and how he justified it with how it becomes another obstacle for Rey to process and mature over which is a pretty good defense and then the writer for TROS said 'BUT WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN?' and completely poo poo the bed.

The equivalent of if Return of the Jedi had Yoda telling Luke 'Nah Darth Vader lied and your dad went out as a hero trying to defeat him. Your anguish meant nothing.'

Also I cant get past star wars 9 being TROS because that's one of the nonsense words Pinky would yell on Pinky and the Brain

Prior to TLJ my guess was Rey being somehow related to Obi-Wan. I liked the "no one" reveal, however. Way to bungle it all, JJ!

I still had a disc Netflix plan ten years ago. And Netflix's streaming seemed like a miracle. They had so many new offerings every month.

Ten years later I feel like I'm paying at least eight times as much for all the different balkanized services and getting so much less.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
