Can we conclude that cadborosaurus, plesiosaurus and zeuglodon don't exist?
We would have seen their bodies washed ashore, seen they stick their head and body up from the water to breathe air. None of these have ever happened. All globsters washed on shores have been identified as a whale species. 99% sure plesiosaurus and zeuglodon aka basilosaurus are extinct. ''Caddy'' is likely a mis-identification.
Some aesthetic changes that are close to the trilogy would have helped first impression of the show
I believe the first season left many audience a bad taste of the show. Haters will hate it anyway, but I'm talking about people that were open to another Middle-Earth adaptation but still on the fence. The same audience that had no huge problems with the Shadow of Mordor games that deviate a lot from the lore, but still they can look pass that and enjoy the product. Had the showrunners(I lay most blame on them)didn't changed the aesthetics of certain things, things could have turned out different by now. Examples the changes that were so unnecessarry:
-Elves having long hair. No bald or fade cut hairstyles.
-Numenor armor. By now everyone have seen the memes of Boromir's armor comparing to the sea guard his forefathers Elendil wore. Frankly, they should have just let all Numenoreans wore the golden armor guard. That truly represented Numenor at it's height. Wearing golden armor showed their huge hubris at the time.
-Less screentime of the Harfoots.
-The first major battle should have been on that elven watchtower. Even if they copied Helm's Deep 2.0 light, it would have looked much grander in scale compared to what we got with the village.
-The war of Eregion should have started by the two last episodes of season 1. That could have been done if the 80% of the Harfoots plot were omitted.
The writings would still be on-off in quality, but like I used my example with the Shadow of Mordor games, general audience can look pass that and enjoy the show. Just my two coins opinion.
What if a prehistoric civilization didn't use iron or bronze metal?
Some scientists have a theory about a non-human civilization(Silurian theory)that lived millions of years ago. But what if they weren't industrial, but rather agriculture? They built buildings made by woods using wooden tools plus sharpen stones. A huge meteorite hit the globe and that's why there was a period the Earth was once again heated up and destroyed them. That means every trace of woods have been burned down and disappeared into oblivion.

I feel really bad for her. I remember when the Acolyte was announced as a new SW show, she was so looking forward to it since she is a SW fan herself. The toxicity in the fandom may have done a bad stain for her continuing being a fan of the franchise.
The age where adaptation simply have good vs evil is over
What I mean we live in era where everyone can be offended about everything. Everything have to be explained and characters cannot be pure evil. Lotr trilogy had Sauron, he was the Devil of the movie. Pure evil and horror. Now, he is morally grey kind of in the Rings of Power show. I'm just using him as a example of what adaption of old works going through in modern Hollywood. The new Narnia movie will not how you remember the Disney films. Where Jadis was the devil. She didn't have any redeeming traits. The new Jadis might have.
A matter that is eternity that exist before the Big Bang?
Could before the Big Bang, there is or was some kind of matter that has always existed with time and space? Or something truly beyond or comprehension of understanding? Not dark matter, but something that our brains and minds cannot write any theory or calculation about it.
Would the show have been better received if the budget was much smaller?
Ever since Amazon started to make the show all the way back in 2018, the price tag blew everyone away. 250 million just to buy the rights from the Estate. But what if Amazon went a different route with how much money they were spending on it? What if they didn't use a billion but rather much lower. Something like their other show Wheel of Time, which seems like a more 300 million range budget. 25 million per episode. If they did that and show looks exactly like how it's now, do you think the criticism wouldn't be so bad and the less hate?
If lifeforms are found in our solar system and it's origin traces back to Earth?
I believe there are micro-organisms living in the depths of Jupiter's and Saturns moons. Same with Mars. If we do find them and discover that they are linked to Earth billions of years ago and some of our ancestors landed other places in the solar system, what impact would that do to the Fermi Paradox theory? Also a side question: Can these lifeforms be identified as extra terrestrial despite have their origin from Earth?
What if Murphy carried a M2 52.caliber machine gun when he confronts RoboCain?
After he looses the grenade launcher in the auditorium clash, he picks up his second weapon, the M2 52.caliber machine gun. How much damage can this gun do against RoboCain compared to the Auto-9 gun?
ROP not coming to NYCC. My thoughts on the matter and the future of the show.
Some of you who follow the show likely have heard the news. I don't think we should panic at all. Amazon has always been low on marketing ROP. But at the same time, I have a feeling they are shifting away from the Rings of Power as their flagship show.
I don't have metrics on how well the show is doing with viewership, but I guess it's doing fine and one of the most viewed shows on Prime. But at the same time it hasn't generated any huge engagement. Little buzz whatsoever. Compared to HOTD or even one of their own show Fallout.
Amazon don't want to pay the exit clause they have with the Estate. It's not about money, but reputation.
I've said in the past I believe Amazon will merge season 4 and 5 together. They skip some events like the establishment of Gondor and Arnor, and Gil Galad visiting Elendil for the first time in Annuminas. Those events will already happen this season. So that leaves only the War of the Last Allliance. I believe the studio will put the rest of their finance to the Battle of Dagorlad. So hopefully we will get a satisfying ending.
Sotrasambandet ytterligere forsinket
Blir ikke åpning i 2027 allikevel. Ordføreren raser, men var ikke det hans parti(Høyre)som åpnet for dette med private selskaper til veiutbygging under Ernas tid i regjeringen?
Babylon 5. Could Earth Alliance have bought them more time from the onslaught by the Minbari if they did this tactic?
No weapons Earth had even with the weapons they got from the Narns which is reversed engineered Centauri did anything against the powerful Minbari. From the movie 'In the Beginning', Earth managed to destroy two Sharlin cruisers through luring it into a trap in the asteroid belt and the other ramming it with their largest ship the Nova Class Dreadnought.
So let's say EA had a industrial capacity 2x as they had in the film. When the war started, Earth realized quickly they were at a HUGE disadvantaged. Their weapons cannot lock any Minbari ships because of the uber-stealth technology the Minbari used. Instead, they built kamikaze ships half the size of the Nova Dreadnought with almost no weapons except two plasma bolt cannons. The armor are as thich as the original Dreadnought though and the ship only have 10 crew. The first year of the war, they managed to mass produce over 200 ships. They would be used in the last year of the war.
If they did this tactic of ramming into Minbari cruisers, could they have prolonged the war from two years to three or even four? Enough time to evacuate portion of the human population from Earth to survive?
Hvorfor ser norske fotballstadion så liten ut?
Dette er Fortuna Arena til Slavia Praha. Den har 19 000 sitteplasser og er Tjekkia største stadion. Mindre enn Ullevål og Lerkendal, men den ser bare mye større ut. Etter Ullevål stadion, så er Lerkendal og Brann stadion de to største stadion i Norge med 21 og 17000 plasser. Men allikevel så ser de små ut. Er det fordi måten norske stadion er bygge på? Lerkendal hadde sett mer fryktinngytende ut hvis hjørnene var tettet igjen. Den ene langsiden til Brann stadion har redusert sitteplasser fordi det er leiligheter på den.
I wished the Narn-Centauri war lasted longer.
Without sacrificing G'kar and Londo's redemption arc, the conflict could have lasted to two more episodes to season 3. And the war will be ongoing to a year before the doomed Gorash VII. I guess it's a budget thing we couldn't see more space battles.
Did Doom 3 Hell had any leader?
I remember in ROE, Betruger in his skeleton flying beast called the demons for his children. So before he became corrupted, that version of Hell were leaderless? Unlike the Hell in the new Doom.
A couple of MCU Avengers versus the death angels from A Quiet Place
Iron Man Mark LXXXV suit, The Hulk, Captain America, War Machine, Winter Soldier and Thor against 10 Death Angels. Can the Avengers defeat them through raw strength?
The Elven realms of the show
There are many things I like about the show but one of the best are the elven realms. They still retain the aura of ethereal, timelessness and peacefulness. Just like how we saw Lothorien, Rivendell and Woodland Realm from the movies.
Now only Tirion and Lindon especially after the three elven rings reawaken the trees made me think of Lothlorien. The ethereal and heaven-like feeling. Eeregion was a more peaceful and industrial. Grey Havens vibe is similar to Rivendell.
Kjøpe en spiller for nærmere 100 millioner?
Eliteserieklubber kan nå hente spiller til over 30 millioner. RBK betalte mellom 44 og 50 millioner for Amin Chiakha som er norgesrekord. Før var det Glimt som hadde norgesrekorden på 41 millioner for en dansk spiller. Nærmer vi oss snart der en spiller kan bli hentet for nærmere 100 millioner?
Is The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings of Power a success?
According to Amazon, they are one of their top 5 shows. Season 3 is coming in two months. The show still gets ridiculed in the internet, but that's just a vocal minority? Are general audience liking the show?
