As far as I know, the book describes the Turtle (I heard it is called Maturin, but that might be a movie/show thing)… as a turtle and that’s kinda all that is to be known about it. But It’s true form is what the characters can only describe as spider-like, but that’s not its true form, but rather what the characters can comprehend from what they see. Like their minds filters it as such.
Here’s what I don’t understand: It and Maturin entities that existed since before time existed. But why there’s such a difference between them when it comes to their look? Why Maturin’s form can be comprehended by humans, but It’s barely?

So, I remember seeing in a sequence in the 2021 Netflix show where Adam explains to Skeletor that, while he has the Power Sword, it only serves as a place where the power is channeled (a conduit). What actually turns Adam into He-Man is... Adam. The difference is that the sword is what "holds things together", since, without it, Adam turns into a uncontrolable savage version of He-Man.

Now, in the most recent movie, it is revealed that the movie version of Adam is the actual conduit. He doesn't really need the sword to call the power.

My question: was this detail about He-Man's powers always a thing since the '80s cartoon, or was it just something that the writers came up with in later iterations? If so, how did it work in the past (specifically in the '80s version)?

Edit: also, does this also apply to She-Ra?

Eu am aplicat pentru un internship organizat de Lactalis și trebuie acum să particip la un bootcamp în Alba Iulia organizat de ei. Este oarecum un fel de fază în care ei decid cine va face internshipul.

Dacă sunt persoane care au fost la bootcamp, vă rog să îmi spuneți cum a fost și ce ați făcut. Aș vrea să fac o impresie cât mai bună.

Mulțumesc anticipat!

Salut! Am absolvit la biotehnologii industriale (UBB) și recent am terminat un master în managementul calității alimentelor (USAMV). Încerc de mult timp să găsesc slujbe sau măcar un voluntariat care să ceară persoane în domeniile mele, dar nu am reușit să găsesc nimic. Cele mai multe slujbe, chiar și cele entry level, cer un an de experiență pe care nu îl am. Chiar și la Terapia care angajează absolvenți nu au răspuns.

Mă gândeam că poate caut unde nu trebuie (aplic de obicei pe LinkedIn și eJobs). Am încercat să îmi trec în CV cât mai multe detalii posibile legate de ce am făcut atât la facultate cât și în practică.

Oare ar trebui să încerc și pe alte site-uri? Ar trebui să mă duc direct la companii să cer să mă angajeze sau să îmi ofere un internship sau posibilitatea de voluntariat? Să îmi depun CV-ul la forțele de muncă?

Chiar trebuie să îmi caut un job, fiindcă am impresia că dacă nu mă angajez curând, angajatorii vor crede că am stat degeaba în tot acest timp.

SPOILERS from Obsession: >!In the movie, a guy called Bear makes a wish to make his crush, Nikki, love him more than anything in the world. He does that by buying a so-called "One Wish Willow", which is a willow branch that grants you a wish if you tell it and then snap it. You can't make more than one wish, and other branches will not break if you try to make another wish. If it's important: you can't reverse a wish, and you can't wish for anything involving time manipulation, resurrection, immortality, or creating more One Wish Willows.!<

So, I know the action of granting wishes isn't a new concept, and there are even myths, legends, and folklore that involve stuff that can grant wishes. But based on the description, does the concept of the One Wish Willow sound similar to anything more specific from myths? Like, does it sound inspired by something?

I am definitely not the first person to point that out, but I think the designers/show runners took some inspiration from the Alien series when making the beasts.

I mean, small creatures becoming bigger is a concept as old as not just writing, but as long as life has existed. But the Beast's life cycle starts with them emerging from a cocoon, and, mind you, the small beasts can jump (like the Facehuggers).

They also have a Queen Beast. Again, this is already a cliche when it comes to dealing with swarms of the same monsters in movies, but it is still a similarity.

Now... this is more of a stretch, but I find another... rather creepy inspiration. To understand it: the director's cut of the first Alien movie, released in 2003, included a scene where Ripley finds what seems to be a nest made by the Xenomorph, where she finds some of the missing crew members being slowly turned into Ovomorphs (the eggs). This was initially how the Ovomorphs were imagined to be made before the Xenomorph Queen was introduced.

Now, in the IFB episode, when the heroes search for civilians, they find them in cocoons. But some of them had the jumping Beasts in them. There's absolutely no difference between the prisson cocoons and the fertilized cocoons. It's likely that the cocoons can just serve a double purpose, but... I can see the possibilities that either is put there and is turned into nutrients, or... they are turned into beasts.

IDK, I just thought it was interesting.

So, when The Last Jedi came out, one of the main criticisms was how powerful Rey seemed for no reason for many people. That caused people to call her a Mary Sue character. To my understanding, people called her like that ever since The Force Awakens, but I think it really got worse when The Last Jedi was released. This idea has been debated a lot around fandom spaces and has since become a buzzword for grifters' YT channels.

With that being said, I haven't heard many people using this name. Even the grifter channels seem to have stopped using this. Am I the only one?

For people who don't know what that is, the Weeping Angel mechanic is when a character that chases the player moves only when the player isn't looking and stops whenever the player has it in their field of view. This mechanic is named after the Weeping Angels from the Doctor Who franchise, who do the same thing.

The games that I know have this mechanic are: Slender Man: The Eight Pages; SCP - Containment Breach; Dark Deception - Chapter 2: Into Madness; Lethal Company; Resident Evil Village - Shadow of Rose; Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach; Poppy Playtime - Chapter 5: Deep Sleep.

There are also non-horror games like the Mario series (Boo) and Minecraft (the Creaking) that feature this mechanic, so it's not really just a thing of horror games.

I do understand why the devs want this mechanic in the games, but I feel like most of the time, these sequences are too easy to beat. You only need to constantly look at the stalker, since most of the time, the hallways you have to traverse don't present any danger that would require you to move your view from the stalker, and there's usually no penalty to look at the stalker for too long. I'm not saying that about every game I mentioned. For example:

-Dark Decetion makes it hard because there is more than one Gold Watcher chasing you, and they all come from different directions;

-The Coil-Heads in Lethal Company is simple, but it also makes it harder to deal with the rest of the monster;

-I think Slender Man also kills you if you look at him for too long, if I remember correctly.

I think maybe it's lost media, but I've heard there are people who have tried to restore some of the old games LEGO had on their websites, so I thought I should try my luck.

So, what was Von's motivation exactly?

I remembered that he decided to run from a mission while he was with Stormer... but after that, I don't remember what his motivation was for hating Stormer and why he became a villain.

Title.
