I don't get why young justice's narrative try to portray superman as a neglectful father when he have solid reasons to keep its distance from Connor

1-Connor is a clone created by using his DNA against his knowledge and will

2-created by his biggest ennemies lex luthor

3-Connor himself said in young justice that he was created possibly kill superman and replace him

By those 3 factors alone superman had good reason to keep his distance from him ... We don't know if luthor may have install a chip or trigger thata may pose a threat to him the world and his loved ones

Side note: this is the first time we actually get to see two Valyrian steel sword clashing on live action. I am being greedy but I wish the episode would put more emphasis on that, By adding a some special sound effect or sole sparkling each time the swords met

Watching the season finale of HOTD yesterday finally made me realize why GRRM consider baelor breakspear's death to be a massive loss for the targaryen

Baelor and possibly his father daeron the good are the only targs who actually understood ​they needed to move on from dragons and prophecies and actually start to adapt to the society they live in with humility and start doing actual politic and PR to better than image instead of acting like superior assholes

He understood that his house was unpopular and thata ONE wrong move from them would start a rebellion. Baelor got it

-that why he chastise maekar when his shows his frustration and being rude​ toward the lords who welcomed them as guest

-that why he give his own children original Valyrian names instead of seeking a namesake that could either turn them prideful or put unfair pressure toward them... Knowing how baelor himself was mocked in his youth for having the name of "feeble king"

-that why teach his nephew or not seek conflict with his brother.. Knowing how much the dance of dragons turns out to be and hiwbhis own grandfather divided the familly with his choices which led to a civil war

Had he lives and became king he would have turnnthr dynasty for the better but accidently died his legacy died his own kids too.

It's sad... ​

(spoiler extended) Bittersteel's performances during the redgrass field is one of the most astonishing military saves in Westerosi history.

For me it is far more impressive than the duel between gwayne corbray and daemon blackfyre.. Since daemon is actually falling into the red dragon's trap

In medieval warfare, once an army’s king is slain and a rout begins, the battle is functionally over. What Aegor Rivers managed to do went entirely against military logic. He actually managed to gather the remaining army and push for a counter out of pure "fuck you" energy and turned them back toward the enemy, crashed into the Raven's Teeth and engaged Bloodraven in a legendary duel where he took one of his eye.... All the while keeping the sword to keep the dream alive

Before Bittersteel’s charge, the Blackfyre cause was minutes away from being completely extinguished.

Aegor Rivers was a badass.... Look like a mix between stannis and the rogue prince

I feel like rhaenyra's rule is just her creating her own problems and shooting herself on the foot for no reasons

Yes the realm is bankrupt but that logical problem in time of war. All rhaenyra had to to was to Send Corlys Velaryon directly to negotiate with the Iron Bank. Since 25% of the crown's gold was currently sitting in the Iron Bank's vaults under Aegon II's name, Rhaenyra should have offered a deal: freeze the Green assets and issue an immediate line of credit to the Blacks, backed by Velaryon trade guarantees and future tax concessions on the Gullet.

Seize the green estate in the crowlands and ruthlessly take their gold in played enough crusader kings to know Squeezing the starving smallfolk for pennies is political suicide and asking for riot . It is far safer to anger 100 wealthy oligarchs than 100,000 starving peasants.

use high-born Green captives as financial leverage. Demand immense ransoms from Oldtown and Casterly Rock to buy back their relatives.

The fact that she didn't do basic things have proper small council and didn't reward those who supported her is one of the dumbest decision any ruler made in all of the shows

Even joffrey saw the value of Elevating allies. The way she handle the corlys situation is terrible

Seven hells rhaenyra!

[loved tropes] "Light is not Good"

1-griffith (Berserk)

Griffith looks like a divine savior, and his Falconia looks like an flawless utopian paradise but the entire empire is built on a literal mountain of sacrificed souls, and his "light" demands total psychological submission.His "men" use bright, angelic aesthetics to mask fundamentally monstrous, parasitic, or alien natures.

2-shakravartin (asura's wrath) :Chakravartin draws from Eastern mythology, embodying the golden, radiant, multi-armed aesthetic of a supreme Buddhist or Hindu deity. He is the literal "Golden Spinner of Mantra," the source of all light, life, and power in the universe. Constantly appear as golden being with a serene face

Yet the truth is that For thousands of years, the world of Gaea (earth) was plagued by the Gohma (monstrous dark creatures) and ruled by the Seven Deities, who slaughtered billions of humans to harvest their souls for "Mantra" energy. Chakravartin engineered this entire cycle of endless, agonizing war. To him, the horrific suffering of humanity and the struggles of the gods were just a "test" to see who was worthy of inheriting the world.When Asura rejects his golden paradise, Chakravartin doesn't react with paternal anger; he reacts with cold, bureaucratic detachment. He decides that because this current universe is flawed and unruly, he will simply wipe it clean and spin a brand-new one. Billions of lives mean nothing to him; they are just disposable threads in his tapestry

Lucifer (the Bible) :In the biblical context, demonic forces are explicitly described as weaponizing beauty, righteousness, and illumination to deceive people. The Bible sets up a framework where evil does not present itself as horrifying, dark, or monstrous because that would make it too easy to reject. Instead, it masquerades as something pure, helpful, and divine.

2 Corinthians 11:14, where the Apostle Paul writes: "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light."

Christian tradition heavily emphasizes that before his fall, Satan was Lucifer (which literally translates from Latin as the "Light-Bringer" or "Morning Star"), described in theological interpretations of Ezekiel and Isaiah as a being of supreme beauty, covered in precious stones and radiating light.

[3X02]How to the fuck can one guy be left alone in a room with the dowager queen completly unprotected?What was the point of that scene?

There should be at best two kingsguards in the room and Jasper kept at a distance. It make even less sense after blood and cheese. The security should have doubled ​​

I hate nitpicking but the SA attempt feel like a gratuitous scene

What is the worst sport scandal in your country's history?

The Knysna affair during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa is widely considered the worst sporting scandal in French history.. During the world cup the French players decisidzd to go on strike

The direct trigger for the strike was solidarity with Nicolas Anelka, who had just been expelled from the squad by the French Football Federation (FFF).

However, the mutiny wasn't just about defending a teammate. It was the boiling point of a deeply toxic environment, heavy paranoia, and a total breakdown of trust between the players, their manager, and the media. A Massive clusterfuck of drama after dramas a multi-day, globally televised moral collapse.That nearly killed an entire generation's love for the sport . I was 11 years old and it took me 6 or 7 years more years for me to forgive what happened

It also represented the death of 1998's "Black-Blanc-Beur" , France won the World Cup with a multi-ethnic team celebrated as a symbol of successful integration (Black-Blanc-Beur — Black, White, Arab). Knysna shattered that legacy. Conservative politicians and commentators weaponized the strike, framing it as a failure of patriotism and civic values among the team's minority players, which ignited ugly, polarizing societal debates.

France is a country that views the national football team (Les Bleus) as a core symbol of national identity and Republican values, the event felt like a collective national humiliation. It transcended sports, sparking social issues debates on immigration in the French Parliament and drawing condemnation from the President of the Republic.

(loved trope) the fan creation becomes so dominant that the general public (and new fans) completely mistake it for the official lore.

TTS (Warhammer 40K):the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device (TTS) did influence Warhammer 40k by permanently shaping how the community views Rogal Dorn’s bluntness, the Custodes’ fabulousness, or the Emperor's internal frustrations these and many non-official creations heavily reshaped their original IPs.

Term such as "I, Cato sicarius" or "fabulous hawkboi" made it into the fandom

TeamFourStar's DBZA (Dragon Ball): Much like TTS, TeamFourStar’s Dragon Ball Z Abridged started as a parody but fundamentally altered the cultural perception of the characters

It turned Krillin into a walking disaster (inventing the "Krillin Owned Count"), made Goku an aggressively bad father rather than just an oblivious one, and gave Mr. Popo a terrifying, demonic aura.

It became so massive that official English voice actors acknowledged it. Sonny Strait (the official voice of Krillin) publicly thanked TFS because fans at conventions started asking him to shout "Senzu Bean!" (a TFS gag) instead of screaming attacks that destroyed his vocal cords. Furthermore, when Dragon Ball Z Kai was being dubbed, the official studio originally recorded a cameo featuring the TFS voice actors to voice the in-universe "Cell Games Reenactment" actors, though it was cut last minute due to corporate licensing issues.

Red vs Blue (Halo) :Before Halo had a sprawling television show or dozens of expanded-universe novels, it had Rooster Teeth's machinima series

Two teams of colorful soldiers standing in a box canyon (Blood Gulch) arguing about existential dread and why they are there.Bungie (and later 343 Industries) leaned into the show heavily. They hid Red vs. Blue easter egg dialogue inside the official campaign levels of Halo 3 and Halo 4. Even more permanently, the term "Griffball" a fictional sport invented as a joke in the fan show was coded by developers into an actual, official, permanent multiplayer matchmaking mode in the mainline games.

The more time pass and the more I take the side of fulgrim on his little jab with the khan in Scars

>He wants to be left alone," said Fulgrim. "To shoot off into the stars and hunt down xenos on those delightful jetbikes. They're devilishly fast. I heard from a contact on Mars, Jaghatai, that you do strange things to your ships." The Khan shot him a heavy-lidded stare. "I heard you do strange things to your warriors." Fulgrim's slender face briefly flared with anger, but Sanguinius laughed

1-i feel like fulgrim reaction is kinda out of character whe. He doesn't even have the laer blade yet

And contradict other books where pre-heresy fulgrim is actually a pretty chill guy and one of the primarch many would rely on for his wisdom

2-the khan actually turn this discussion from 1 to 100 and Is being a dick and Confrontational ​for no reason.

Fulgrim was actually lightly teasing him with maybe some backhanded compliment and but the khan answers is genuinely intented to insult fulgrim which cause his reaction ​

....But as sanguinius told the khan. None of his brothers truly knows him he is assecretive and mysterious as the lion

And when they actually have chance to know him better this happen give the wrong impression. Maybe fulgrim provoked him a'd show some backhanded compliment but that was pretty much the dynamic between them primarchs in even in real life for people who did sport

In horus rising sanguinius and horus keep roasting each other and their brothers ​

Correct me if I am wrong

[loved trope] These characters use a mask of goofiness, flirtatiousness, or nonchalance as both a shield and a coping mechanism.

Vash the Stampede (Trigun): He presents himself as a total goofball, a pacifist donut-lover, and a coward who runs from danger. In reality, he is a century-old being carrying the crushing weight of existential loneliness, the guilt of catastrophic destruction, and a deeply traumatic betrayal by his own brother. His smile is a conscious choice to choose love over despair. His long red longcloak hide an extremely scarred body that is rarely shown

Ryo Saeba (City Hunter): On the surface, he is a hyperactive easily distracted, and shameless skirt-chaser that Constantly can't contain his boner (litterally) after seeing a beautiful women . It’s pure comedy. But underneath lies a battle-hardened guerrilla warrior who survived a horrific, drug-fueled civil war as a child soldier. His jovial nature isn't just an act; it's how he stays sane after seeing the absolute worst of humanity.

Oberyn martell :Oberyn Martell (A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones): The Red Viper is the ultimate hedonistic flamboyant, bisexual, deeply cynical, and apparently dedicated entirely to pleasure, wine, and travel. But this carefree exterior entirely hides a razor-sharp, obsessive mind fueled by sixteen years of burning rage and a desire for bloody vengeance for the brutal murder of his sister, Elia, and her children. When he finally meet the killer of his sister all of that rage explode

The audience or has spent the entire building up a mental image of these characters as inhuman, possibly supernatural monster.But when they are unmasked.. They are the opposite of what you expect

1-michael Myers :The 1978 reveal of Michael Myers is the definitive gold standard for this trope. By casting Tony Moranan actor with a relatively youthful, "angelic," and conventionally attractive face. John Carpenter created an unforgettable moment of cognitive dissonance to the audience

In many slasher horror movie the masked killer is often heavily scared or disfigured But behind the mask of Michael is describe in the novel as is just the face of all American teenager....The audience has spent the entire film building up a mental image of an inhuman, possibly supernatural monster.The audience has spent the entire film building up a mental image of an inhuman, possibly supernatural monster despite his blank, pale, emotionless expression and losing eye there is uncanny beauty. the novel leans into the uncanny, almost "dreamlike" quality of his face.

2-The Spartan II (halo:forward unto dawn) :The cadets in the film and perhaps the viewers expect these super-soldiers to be older, perhaps grizzled, scarred, or inhumanly imposing figures. When the helmets come off, they reveal individuals who look like young, fit barely older then them....

3-The blood angels (Warhammer 40k): they were formely known as the revenant legion...... For their brutally and psychopathic behavior like cannibalism. But jabonggntge geneseed of their father the great angel sanguinius gave them an Inhuman and angelic beauty

Yeah. This my game of the year...

As someone who really wasn't really hyped for this game and kinda stealthy and sandbox-like game like splinter cell or hitman.. I finished this game in two days and was left wanting more

The first thing I liked was smooth transition from tutorial to gameplay in the first mission

The ck shan't smooth transition from intrigue, to stealth to straight up action a la uncharted is organismic....

The story is extremely immersive and compelling as you experience bond in his prime making friends showing his formation I kinda guessed what would his friends but it's still hit hard when go from warm house of friends to cold and empty appartement because you are the only survivor or able agent left... And event few good memories he have gets destroyed with thata appartement

with that you begin to understand why and how bond will become more cold and detached as he grow older

My tny dissapointment is thata I would have liked to delve deeper into bond's childhood and his parents .. From the first trailer I thought that we owuld have a flashback of thr plane crash of his parents

Aside from that..man I want more easy 9/10 game

The character real apparence and condition is much more horrifying than it appear

[image 1 and 2]The emperor of mankind (Warhammer 40k):after the heresy of horus. The emperor mortally wounded was out on stasis on the golden throne which keep him "alive"

The imperial propaganda portray him as golden god sitting peacefully immobile on the golden throne.... The truth is that he is a decaying ​corpse only kept alive by feasting a thousand souls a day

[image 3 and 4] Envy (FMA) :While they spend most of the series appearing as a lithe, androgynous human, their "true" form is a colossal, nightmarish beast composed of the agonizing, screaming faces and bodies of the souls they have consumed.

[image 4 and 5]the man in the wall (Warframe) :An entity that appears as a doppelgänger of the player character, the Man in the Wall maintains a familiar, human shape to interface with the protagonist. However, its true nature is that of a cosmic horror an "Indifferent" being that exists in the void between realities. The horror here is not just its appearance, but the existential dread of realizing that the friendly face you are talking to is merely an avatar for a force that views the entire universe as a plaything.

(spoiler extended) the reputation of jaeherys as deadbeat father is exagerrated and think many lost the point the point of GRRM is making with this character

... Or maybe I am wrong but drop I am understtoof while reading his story is that balancing fatherhood and kingship is extremely difficult even more when you have 13 kids with all having different personalities... So him getting called "bad father" loved by the population is kinda unfair​ necause jaeherys genuinely loved his kids and tried to do the best can with no ill will. Behind it

To me him and alysanne they are the most realistic parents of the setting...

Aemon, baelon and Alyssa absolutly love him

Daenerys and rhaelle held him in high regard and dany's death deeply impacted him

Maegelle acted as councilor to fix the small breakup of his parents

Even the complicated ones Saera and viserra were basically daddy's girl at first. Viserra often used jaeherys love for him to do the classic act of playing victim to dad after causing a mess .... (a trick book aerion also do with maekar)

At the end of the day each of jaeherys children were part of a privileged small pourcentage of harsh and rigid feudal society.... Their personal issues were "rich people problem"

jaeherys was a great king because he had the strengh to make tough choices for the sake of all even if it piss off his familly.

And if his later successors realizes that lesson 'house targaryen would have never fallen

Viserys I's passivity created a massive rift in the familly instead of being the voice of authority

Aegon V' s desire to please all his kids alienated the very lord's that garantee the stability of his kingdom and even alienated his own children
