LanceHunter posted:I remember playing it on my old PC back in high school, having borrowed a friend's copy. I believe I was using some cheat or maybe one of my friend's save files to skip through the game since figuring out how to advance was inscrutable, and I distinctly remember the ending because it really disturbed me. I never liked the ending (because the town being weird on its own was better) but I understood why considering when it came out.

hemale in pain posted:i finished the 3rd hobbit movie!! they found the time for 2 hours of dumb CGI fighting, most of it non-plot related, but they didn't have time to show the arkenstone buried with Thorin? wtf I don't really recall because who can remember what the Hobbit movies are about, but was that McGuffin like the central thing they were looking for for the whole trilogy? And they didn't wrap up who had it and who was king? lol Sci-fi and fantasy have the dumbest methods of obtaining power. "Oh, I've got the Darksaber so I run a whole loving planet everyone in the whole Mandalore diaspora will instantly bow to me because my mere possession of this object" or like "Yeah the king is the king because he won a fight to the death on top of a waterfall. We are the most advanced nation on the planet, and any royal third-cousin can challenge the king to a fight to the death on top of the waterfall at any moment and become king themselves by killing him." Gonna write a fantasy epic where the hero kills the despotic king at the end of the first movie and then the sequel is their long regicide trial. Once again, Game of Thrones had this right when Ned Stark has this like magic document signed by the last king naming him the regent and Cersei's just like "Shoulda got a copy dipshit" and tears it up because the only thing that actually matters is who the city guard listens to in that moment.

And they didn't wrap up who had it and who was king? lol Yeah, I dunno even who became the dwarf king. I think the jewel being important for being king was an invention for the movie so it doesn't make sense to the plot as thorin has already inherited kingship. Now that I think about it non of the plots had closure. Never saw what happened to lake town people, did the guy with the bra filled with coins survive?, and I dunno if the elves got their crystal necklaces and stuff. Saruman said he was gonna deal with sauron and it just finished like that? The magic elf lady and agent Smith should of checked up on that at some point!!! Im gonna stop thinking about the hobbit soon but I can't get over how long they were and how much side content was added but they didn't wrap any of it up

It would've been neat if they had killed the ice king but the ice zombies didn't die from it, they just kept going and it turned out that the king didn't actually matter

The white walkers were finished off in an episode and Cersei just got shat on by dragons Fitting three seasons' worth of stories into the six-episode last season was so baffling it almost would have been better if they had taken all six episodes of the last season to just do the battle against the white walkers and just left every other plot thread hanging at the show's end. Of the post-book GOT episodes, I think the moment that came closest to the cleverness and perspective of the original seasons was when Arya was watching the play showing how the public perceived the events of the first few seasons.

Book 4 had some neat ideas and actual character developments here and there, book 5 just completely hit the brick wall. The events in book 5 should have been skipped like he originally planned. The best plot ideas were some what based on real medieval events anyway (palace power struggle; red wedding, eunuch army etc) , he should just read some more history and finish the rest.

Doing a whole-cloth plot that convincingly told the story of Saruman's corruption and eventual alliance with Sauron would have been interesting and have been a better addition to the movies better than the random battle filler they invented. However, that would require actually writing that story (you couldn't really wing it). Also, making Christopher Lee take on that much of a roll in his final years would have been asking a lot.

The eunuch army doesn't really resemble anything in real history. There existed slave soldiers, mostly in the medieval Middle East, but they actually bore almost no resemlbance to how the Unsullied are depicted.

I only liked Game of Thrones for the politics stuff so the more magic and poo poo came to the fore it became less interesting for me. Woulda been better if it was just a bad winter coming so it was inevitable instead of some magic army you could beat. Also the writing got worse and I think Lindsay Ellis went over in her video how it went from focusing on the politics/society into focusing on specific characters like every other show does.

We are but simple Marvel movie lovers. We do not understand the complex themes and subtleties of your so-called "good films". R-rated violence shocks and scares us. Characters saying anything other than what they are immediately thinking, or making funny quips, confuses our simple brains. We cannot be expected to watch movies from the last millennium! Do you think we are movie-magicians?
