actual anglo mythology is mostly fairies and the wizard kings who love them. there actually aren’t a whole lot of works with that setting that aren’t retellings of the arthurian myth. midsummer night’s dream, stardust, jonathan strange. tolkien is pretty remarkable for having taken from as many sources as he did and having it hang together like a real mythos instead of pastiche

I liked the motw/lore combo a lot and thought it really hit a great balance in the back half of the season

that second half was what drew me in, before that i was standoffish but bored so i kept watching

i had no experience past playing some of the third game after buying a bundle, so it filled in a lot for me

the special effects being all over the place in terms of quality was extremely lol

it had a real xena budget vibe at times which was a little endearing

I ended up just watching a Youtube recap of the whole Witcher book series before finishing the game so I knew why I should care about the stakes.

with no backstory and starting at 3, it made it super easy to not get to attached to a plot point or care too much about my choices. it was refreshing to go through a dialog and not once care what the town of sticksilvania would have said if i picked differently in game 2 or saved the mayors in the main story

I assume he writes all his own one-liners like Arnold. But nobody can topple the king.

I watched The Running Man again recently and cracked up for like half an hour at "look, here is Sub-Zero! Now...plain zero!"

does he really murder a sitting us senator with no more evidence than the senator having used the common phrase "you can take that to the bank" in a campaign ad

i mean in the context of the movie i assume this deduction is spot on but still lmao

I haven't watched a Victorian-setting series since Penny Dreadful, and while the lead here doesn't look a patch on Eva Green, it might while away some time

edit: actually that's a bit of a lie, I did watch Year of the Rabbit which I enjoyed a lot

the boy lead was utter jarbage. Delvigne can act decent in stuff it’s just clear she wasn’t getting any help from her costar nor Besson and got dragged down

Valerian could have easily been a lot better so it was a bit disappointing, but despite being pretty mediocre it's enjoyable enough to watch overall.

they had so little chemistry that i thought they were supposed to be siblings for like 2/3 of the movie.

but it's still great. luc besson does that shiny cheerful sci-fi better than anyone. the opening sequence posted above makes me smile every time
