How many soft reboots has the DC cinematic universe been through now? DC’s attempt at a cinematic universe is the best of the Marvel competitors (remember the Monsters Universe, lol?) but it’s still nowhere near the MCU in terms of the metrics studios want to see.

I watched the Black Adam movie and it was a (clumsy) story about a colonised country rising up against their invaders stripping their resources and putting them under military rule, and Johnson 's character ultimately chooses not to be a dictator to his country. Is it considered a woke movie to that usual crowd, or nah because Johnson' s character is a big dude who kills people?

No one cares about what a movie is about. You need something visual. Like a prominent girl in the cast or a minority they isn’t as well known as the rock

Coolness Averted posted:That guy has been whining since his game came out. It was 'okay' and only really got popular once a ton of people got it cheap or for free with PS+. Once people began talking about it as a flawed game potentially worthy of iteration and a sequel he cried about that not being possible because people didn't buy the game for full price in the first quarter after its release. Yea, Days Gone wasn't great, but there were parts of it that were good. It was one of those games that a potential sequel could have really worked well.

As a predator fan it’s funny that people forget how insanely easy it can be to kill them because they’re all prideful jerks and all you need to do is get it cocky and arrogant enough to blind side them. But ya gotta survive For a long time to get it there tho. Anyway naru was badass as gently caress and easily stands right with Arnold and Glover imo

Yeah I'm not super familiar with the series or anything but isn't one of the points that the aliens expect Earth's finest warriors to use high tech weaponry and strategies so the most effective way to kill them is to use guerrilla tactics and MacGyvering traps out of the environment?

I like to think of him as the equivalent of fat middle-American dentists who go on safari and get eaten by lions; in that case, the actions of his fellow predators at the end of that movie are tantamount to your hunting buddies thinking so little of you they give the lion a medal.

Zesty posted:If a cop catches you with lockpicks in public for any reason in any context whatsoever, they'll get you with intent and it would be challenging to fight that in court. Doesn't even matter if it's legal to own them in your state. Cops are not required to know the law and it's no problem for them to explain away arresting and charging you with a crime. I know this was more than a week ago, but the pic with the lock picks has additional lock picks under glass in the background and decks of playing cards on top of the glass so likely they're just lightly trolling with a pic in the store or it's a different set. I'm officially my company's locksmith and I do dare to carry my covert companion as well as a full pick set in my work backpack, Texas law is pretty clear on this part (and I'm genuinely a white hat lock picker). I leave them home when traveling between states, though. Also, almost nobody picks locks for burglary/robbery purposes. It's really odd how some lock manufacturers hate the locksport community with a passion, and Lockpicking Lawyer has to prevent people from photographing his face when he speaks as people have tried to find him with private investigators, tried to send him GPS tracking devices, etc.

Eve's sin was against god because he told her not to eat the fruit, Lillith wanted to be on top which freaked adam the gently caress out and he asked god to get him a new, less cool wife.

Schubalts posted:Depending on which religion/holy book you ask, Eve was actually the second woman made. Lilith was first and made from the same clay as Adam, but she was cast out because she used her free will to refuse being subservient to him. In some versions of the old story, Eve was Adam's third wife. Originally the first man and first woman were two parts of the same whole being, joined back-to-back with two faces, four arms, four legs. This was not great for conversation and companionship among other things, so they were then divided into two individuals - Adam and Lilith, male and female.* Lilith, created as an equal part of humanity, refused to be subservient to Adam in all sorts of ways but it's specified that she particularly didn't like banging in the missionary position all the time - she wanted to ride cowgirl, which Adam refused to do because he wanted to be The Man. So she called him a whiny manchild and bailed on the Garden, going out into the wilderness and becoming a figure of legend, demonized by subsequent mythology. Adam started blubbering to God about being lonely, so God sent three angels to bring Lilith back (which didn't work, because she just laughed in their faces). Next God pulled a rib from Adam's chest and formed it into a second wife with bones, blood, organs, skin, hair, etc. This was apparently a pretty disgusting process because it totally grossed Adam out and he couldn't look at her without remembering what he'd seen and gagging. That was a total boner-killer and he refused to go near her. It's not mentioned what happened to her. She's never named, and it's possible she was returned to dust (seems harsh) or allowed, like Lilith, to go out into the world out of Eden. God rolled His eyes and tried the rib thing again, but this time putting Adam to sleep so he wouldn't see the sausage get made. This worked, and since Adam was made first and Eve made from him she was willing to go along with his fragile masculinity nonsense and they were happy. The rest of the story proceeds as written. * this is first recorded from about the 8th century and is probably some kind of alchemical allegory - alchemy was super mystical and some branches were way into the idea of achieving perfection by rejoining the male and female halves of humanity into one perfect ascended being.

I love his videos, especially when he shows off stuff like "Yeah this lock that pretty much every government building was using until at least 2010 is fully defeated by a magnet" If you're in the business of selling that theatre, you'd probably get mad at someone breaking kayfabe.
