Let’s discuss: Should Mr Sinister been the main villain of the first two seasons of X-Men: Evolution instead of Magneto?
Me and other people on this sub has pointed out that a lot of Magneto’s actions in Evo especially in the first seasons sound a lot more like something Mr sinister would do:
Arranging fights and recruiting the winner against their villain.
Experimenting on mutants babies.
Tricking mutants into being genetically altered in a way that enhances them but also makes them obedient.
Thoughts?
To any Subnutica fans in this sub: How do you reckon Grace and Rocky would handle being hypothetically stranded on 4546B?
Just for fun. And pretend Rocky had an area that would allow him to live and not die in the atmosphere.
I don’t know if this has ever been made but I would love a Star Trek episode that is just an office worker at the federation headquarters going through all the captain’s logs and documenting all the absolutely bonkers things they’ve encountered throughout the franchise.
“Spock and I went back in time…again”.
“We meet evil versions of ourselves.”
“Well we kind of found out Greek Gods may actually exist.”
“We run into a dictator from the 1990s.”
“I died, but got better.”
Thinking back to X-Men: Legends makes me wish we could have a video game that takes place at the X-Mansion.
Do you think many people actually became potato farmers thanks to the Martian?
Scenes that manages to make some of the most “boring/mundane” things look like the coolest thing ever.
LOTR: Viggo Mortensen manages to make opening a door look epic.
Hot Fuzz: Makes paper work look epic.
The Martian: Makes growing potatoes look epic. Yeah, I know it’s a bit of cheat since growing potatoes on mars in an improvised greenhouse isn’t exactly “mundane” but still.
Personal trivia: as a child I used to watch my dad play the OG RE 2 game and I actually cried here because I thought Ada was a hero that died. Then much later I played the remake and realized that not only is Ada not a hero, she didn’t even die. She actually tricked kid me for nearly two decades.
I would like to ask a question here regarding how students tend to view math.
Looking back on my school years one thing I’ve noticed was that there seems to be two categories of students: those that love math and those that absolutely hated it.
They were almost never in between. Those anyone here feels this way or maybe I’m just a victim of survivor bias because it could just be that the students that hated/loved math were way more vocal about it so the students who were indifferent weren’t as noticeable?
How do you reckon Aragorn would handle the peasant from Monty Python and the Holy Graal?(be it book or movie)
One idea I had for a hypothetical rewrite of the show would be include Sebastian Shawn and his son Shinobi and have them have a similar dysfunctional relationship like Norman and Harry Osborn did in the Raimi Spider-Man movies.
How would you have felt about Pietro having a scene like this with Magneto?(spoilers for Avatar The Last Airbender)
How would you have felt about Pietro actually standing up to Magneto and straight up leaves and saves Wanda from her brainwashing?
When I first saw this scene I wasn’t able to tell if Grace reacted the way he did because the content smelled bad or if it was because he had a sudden realization that opening an alien container without severe safety precautions is a very bad idea.
After learning more about spiders scenes like this are unintentionally hilarious to me. Tarantulas does not intentionally bite people and even they did it’s not much worse than a bee sting. We are suppose to think James Bond here is in mortal danger but he’s actually just being a sissy.
This might sound like a silly question but hear me out: What is the most “Star Trek” Star Trek episode you can think of?
Can you think any Star Trek episode that has the most amount of tropes Star Trek is specifically know for be it good or bad?
The grandiose speeches.
The technobabble.
The alien factions that apparently only has one single culture and government and only about 3 different kinds of jobs.
The discovery of a brand new alien culture “only” a couple of light years away from earlier discovered space that also happens to be humanoid and live on a planet humans can visit without a spacesuit.
The invention/discovery of a brand new technology that would completely change the power balance/way of life of people living in the world that is completely forgotten the next episode.
The time travel or alternate realities.
The sass, the facepalms.
“Our phasers doesn’t work!”
Actually come to think of it:
“Our (insert technology) doesn’t work!”.
“OMG! It turns out that (insert whatever mythology character) actually existed, expect they were actually ancient aliens all along!”
Etc etc etc.
TNG is a very deep, philosophical show that deals with very heavy, nuance, complex subject matters. Also TNG:
If anyone here ever gets a chance to interview one of the writers of X-Men Evolution there is one question about the show that I have been dying to know for decades.
Was there ever any plans to ever address Wanda’s brainwashing in a hypothetical season 5 or was it that they didn’t know how to resolve the whole “Magneto abandoned his daughter in an asylum” plot they created so they had her mind be altered as a way to brush it under the rug so to speak?
