I’m i the only one that feels like the Wizard is pretty darn incredible despite being a fraud?

Like, he found himself in this strange magical works by accident in an air ballon and thanks to magic tricks he learned form the circus he was able to pretend to be a powerful Wizard and take control of a part of this strange land and he oversaw the construction of the Emerald City in the original book and all the machinery and puppetry and other inventions he’s created to maintain this Wizard is also pretty darn incredible.

He is pretty much a renaissance man.

Biff claims he lost a $5 bottle of whiskey due to Doc’s sloppy work. $5 in 1885 according to my online research is around $172 today. What kind of Whiskey did Biff have?

Also incase you are curious $80 is around $2750. No wonder Doc didn’t want to pay him.

You it’s kind of ballsy how the BTTF III teaser shown at the end of BTTF II straight up gives away that Marty will make it back to 1985.

Reminder that these two moments are only a couple of minutes apart from Jennifer’s perspective

Jennifer meets Marty:

Doc shows up. Takes them to the future. Doc makes her unconscious, she wakes up in her future home, sees her older self, faints and wakes back in 1985 with Marty in a cowboy suit.

Luke’s greatest strength wasn’t winning battles, it was winning people over to his side.

Got Han to his side, got Vader to his side and in Legends Mara Jade to his (literal) side.

If these Wizards had swapped places(I.e Franco’s Wizard ended up in the Wicked version of Oz and Goldblum’s Wizard in the Great and Powerful version) what do you recon the outcome would be?

Things go think about:

Goldblum might genuinely join the Wicked Witches since they are already established and he is already way more selfish so he might join them fully like he did with Morrible.

James Franco might be persuaded by Morrible since by the time he arrive in this version of Oz there wouldn’t be a Glinda or a talking doll or flying monkey friend to help turn into a good man.

One thing that confused me about this guy’s motivation(spoilers)

Instead of killing the arrivals of any expeditions in order to secure their chroma why didn’t he instead tell them that the Paintress is innocent and that the real person behind the gommage is this weird faceless demon thing(II.e the real Renoir) without telling them who he really is so they could instead attack/neutralize him and hopefully defeat him enough to force Renoir out of the Canvas or find a way to capture him so he can’t carrry out any Gommages?

How do you reckon Elphaba would have reacted to the Wizard from Oz: The Great and Powerful?

[Request], Would the Death Star from Star Wars having a diameter of 160 km be enough for it to look “flat” from the surface like the movie portrays it?

What are some food/meals that you discovered recently that you wished you discovered earlier?

For example:

I completely missed out roasted vegetables and lentils.

I knew of lentils for a while but just dismissed it as beans. After cooking it and realizing how cheap and nutritious it is it completely changed the way I make meals in the future. Also I also missed out on how much you get from lentils. Lentils swell about 2 or 3 times when you cook them so you get way more than you think when you buy them
In the store.

Is there any other food you miss out on until recevy.

One thing I noticed about ROTJ on my latest rewatch that blew my mind: there is only 10 minutes left of the movie after the Emperor was defeated.

I was absolutely insane to me because the movie manages to conclude so much in those few minutes I could have sworn it was way longer:

Here’s what happens after the Emperor was defeated:

Lando and Wedge flies into the Death Star.

Ackbar destroys the Super Star Destroyer. Also Piett dies.

Vader is unmasked and then dies.

Lando and Wedge destroys the Death Star evacuates before it’s blown up and so does Luke in Vader’s shuttle.

Han and Leia reconciles.

Luke burns Vader’s body.

The rebels celebrate and Luke rejoins his friends and sees the Force ghost of Yoda, Ben and Anakin.

All of these amazing emotional moments in ONLY ten minutes and none of them felt rushed at all.

Honestly the pacing in general for the OT is incredible under praised in my opinion.

I just thought of something: this sub doesn’t allow AI images but the homunculus are artificially created intelligent beings so technically this mean any images of them should also be banned. /jk

This may look goofy nowadays but back then this was one of the graphic moments 8 year old me had ever seen in a video game.

I didn’t play the gem myself, I watched my dad play it.
