Lol The ring of power is not Asaba movies that they kill ten people or just start pointless shooting in the first scenes.

I am sure you won't even enjoy shows like Westworld, Dark.
If i should ask now if you have watched dark and Westworld, you will say No.
Have you watched The handmaid tale?
Have you seen the crown?
Have you seen Versailles and shows like Reign?

If you haven't seen any of the shows I listed then i am sorry, the ring of power is not for you.

Your type of series are series like 24, money heist and movies like batman and co.

Slow dialogue and word building series and movies are not for you.
Because you will know that the visuals, word building and dialogues of the first five episodes have been 10/10

Nor be everything be gra gra.
Don't pretend you know what kind of show I enjoy grin

See you mentioning great shows that I enjoyed grin

I binged all 3 seasons of Dark.

That show is a sci-fi masterpiece, I like it better than Stranger Things.

Till today e still dey my laptop cuz I can't think of removing it even though I completed it 2 years ago.

Dark is fantastic show.

It didn't take 6 episodes to kick off.

It hooks you right from the first episode.

I watched 3 seasons of Westworld before the show started going downhill.

The first season of that show is still the greatest piece of sci-fi ever put out on HBO.

I'm a sucker for crime drama like Ozark and Breaking Bad.

A lot of people on this thread have complained that Ozark is boring and Breaking Bad is too slow.

But those two shows for me is way better than Money Heist and other average crime-dramas.

I'm a big fan of Better Call Saul, another show that some people may find boring and slow.

It's not about action or great visuals.

Fantastic characters and a very good plot is the ultimate ingredient for great shows.

It's not the responsibility of the viewers to go back and keep watching new episodes, hoping that the show will finally kick off.

It's the responsibility of the showrunners to create an engaging show that hooks a viewer with the very first episode.


HOTD did that very well.

I absolutely feel disgusted and betrayed by the final season of GOT.

I had zero interest in HOTD before and the trailers didn't move me.

But now that show got me hooked like a drug.

As for Amazon's Rings of Power, their biggest mistake started when they hired first time showrunners for a billion dollar project.

I think she has tried though, i don't see anything wrong with her, she is a good actress, if they are going to leave her for the entire project, with time, people will start liking her as the stories progresses or maybe they can change her like In some time jump just like in the house of Dragon.
But you know these actresses becomes fan favourite as they are given more roles.
Right now, her role now is kind of limited.
I think we should give her time but to be honest, she is trying.

I am beginning to get use to seeing her face always, i love the way she portrays this character of a boss lady, she doesn't smile anyhow, her facial expression are top notch and i like the way the people fears and respect her.

I think she plays the role very well.
I watch a lot of shows and movies every week and I'm certain I can recognize a good actress when I see one.

THIS LOG OF WOOD IS NOT A GOOD ACTRESS

Maybe she would have done better in a different role but for this Galadriel character, she was definitely miscasted.

The showrunners got it all wrong.

How can your lead actress in a billion dollar show be so boring, bland and one dimensional.

The child actor that played young Aemond Targaryen in one episode of HOTD has done a much better acting job than this woman did in 6 episodes of ROP

Baddestguyp:
Just finally finished Rings of Power episode 6...
This is the first time I actually feel like watching the next episode of this show

The major problems with Rings of Power:

1. Characters...they are all boring, uninteresting and unlikeable except that Orc leader
Galadriel is the worst character in the show

2. Pacing...the show is too slow...takes forever for anything tangible to happen

Anyway like I've heard people say on twitter...the show kicks off at Episode 6
A show that only kicks off after the 6th episode undecided

Goes to show how underwhelming ROP has been.

They wasted the first five episodes on world building and pointless dialougues and sub plots that drags on slowly.

A great show would hook its viewers with the very first episode.

If Amazon get sense they would recast the Galadriel actress for season 2 and get new show runners and better writers.

Say hello to the latest Targaryen Gaemon Palehair, the bastard son of Prince Aegon Targaryen.

He will make his first appearance in episode 9.

The werey is saying that Lorne would make a lot of Snyderbots happy if he accepts that his music was inspired by ZSJL cheesy

Snyder cultists are really starving embarassed

Imagine logging in to Twitter to find yourself getting dragged for stealing

I feel sorry the guy

So Lorne Balfe, the composer that created the music for Black Adam movie has released two themes online.

One for Black Adam and another for JSA.

Snyder cultists have falsely accused him of stealing Junkie XL ZSJL theme.

They literally claimed that both JSA and ZSJL themes sound the same.

Lorne Balfe had to defend himself against those toxic creatures.

When you think Snyder cultists won't go low, they go lower.

First they attacked John Williams theme and today they are attacking Black Adam composer.

Minemrys:
That theme is cheesy and doesn't go with established continuity. But nothing is certain. I don't think he is in the film. Or maybe it was a last minute effort to hype the film. I will wait till it's out before raising my hopes up.
Hans Zimmer score was epic, why bring in Williams score now when they refused Snyder using it?
It's not like they are bringing it back for Henry Cavill's Superman permanently.

It's just for a small cameo that may not last a minute.

I'm sure that going forward they will use Han Zimmer theme when they make another Superman movie with Henry.

Don't be surprised when Supergirl debuts on the Flash movie, Hans Zimmer theme could be playing.

Here is a video of MOS first flight edited with John Williams theme.

Like I said that theme still works for anything Superman.

It is the universally recognized theme for the character.

A video of Dwayne Johnson fighting the urge to blurt out the fact that Henry Cavill's Superman is in his movie.

See the way he keeps emphasizing the words "on this planet".

SMUAG:
They might not be happy, but let's be frank, sticking with Han Zimmer's theme would have been more better, since it is more suitable for modern day movies.
Honestly, the actions and themes I have seen and heard from the Black Adam movie no be childs play o. I just dey imagine how the old skool Superman theme go use blend in...
John William theme is the most iconic theme for Superman...

Anybody that listens to it recognizes it instantly.
It's far more popular than Hans Zimmer theme.
It is the definitive superman theme across all forms of media.

You can use it for anything Superman and it would still work, it's way too relevant and it is bonded permanently to the character.

It has a deep pop cultural influence like Star Wars theme does in anything Star Wars.

Since this news broke that Henry's Superman is back, the only people that didn't recieve it well are Snyder cultists...

This is why WBD must never bend the knee to that group again.

Their demands no dey finish and their whinning never stops

As toxic as ever

TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by BlackManta(m): 6:55pm On Oct 06, 2022
Henry Cavill is back.

But a section of DC fans are not happy about it... undecided

Can you guess who?

Just guess...

Yes... The Snyderbots or Snydercultists as I like to call them.

Go through the comment section of this tweet and see how the toxic mofos are complaining.

Their frustration is that WBD used John Williams Iconic Superman theme instead of Hans Zimmer MOS theme.

I swear these people can never be satisfied.

They lied to us that Cavill is gone.

Grace Randolph also claimed that Sasha Calle's Supergirl will replace him permanently.

This was in January, before the merger, before David Zaslav took over.

Now the tables have turned.

The scoopers that said he was gone are now saying another thing.

TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by BlackManta(m): 6:30pm On Oct 06, 2022
DCEU has been the butt of jokes because of this Superman controversy...

All the jokes about headless Superman and silhouette Superman are a thing of the past now.

He's officially back.

This is great news for Henry fans because it is solid proof that WBD like him and they want him to keep playing Superman.

Recast is not an option.

TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by BlackManta(m): 6:18pm On Oct 06, 2022
Superman is back in DCEU

Henry Cavill's Superman is back for the first time since 2017

DontBullshitMe:
Why does Rhaneyra's "bastard" sons share little resemblance with the Targaryens?

But in this same show (episode 1), Rhaneyra's mother (Aemma) looks 100% like a Targaryen.

That's a big loophole right there.
Ser Harwin's genes is too strong

House of the dragon episode 6 is 9/10 for me.

So many what tha fork moment grin
I wonder why all you all are blaming Alison though, i didn't see anything that she has done wrong.

Yes it's true she is now a victim of devilish association but please give her a break, she isn't as bad as you all are portraying her.
At least she has honour and won't give pusssyy to a guard.
She is even a better and fit royal to Rhanery.

Isn't she allowed to protect her sons again? All that i have seen, she is only trying to fight for her son.

Mind you, her anger started from Rhanery's lies and betrayal, if she was as evil as you all think, she would have directly told the king about the real identity of the father of his grandsons.

By the way Larys is a badass.
He now has his own private Executioners
grin executioners that don't have tongues to talk even when caught.
I don't blame Alicent at all.

I understand why she carry Rhaenyra for mind.

This is a woman that fornicates with a guard and swore on her mother's grave that's she's a virgin when Alicent asked her about it.

Only for Alicent to discover later that she's a lying cvnt.

Rhaenyra didn't stop there. Now she's sleeping with another guard and producing not one but 3 bastards.

It's crystal clear that she can't be trusted.

How can anyone trust such a person not to kill her competitors when it's time to ascend the throne...?

If we reason this matter Alicent is a better woman than Rhaenyra.

But I need to see how she handles Larys who is obviously worse than the woman she despises.

You can't hate Rhaenyra and be friends with a snake like Larys.

House of the Dragon episode 6

My thoughts;

How is King Viserys still alive after a decade?
This pussy-ass nigguh should do fast and die. He's getting weaker as time passes. He legit looks like gollum now.

Leanor we know you are gay. We understand.
You and your wife had an agreement before your wedding. We understand.
But not fathering a legitimate offspring to call your own is where I draw the line.

Being gay should not stop you from impregnating Rhaeneyra. If not for anything but for duty sake.
The same duty is the reason y'all got married in the first place. It seems like duty has flown out the window.

3 sons and all of them are bastards. That's crazy.
To add insult to injury, none of them have white hair thereby lending strength to the rumors flying around the court.

I do not pity Leanor and Rhaeneyra at all.
Actions have consequences.

They should carry their cross.

This nonsense could have been avoided if Viserys wedded Rhaeneyra to Daemon....they like each other anyway, it would have been perfect.

Ser Criston is an idiot.
It's okay to hate Rhaeneyra. Mistreating her sons is where I draw the line.
10 years has passed, he should let go of his bitterness.

Alicent is a proper b!tch. She no fit calm down.
Rhaeneyra lives rent free in her head.
To be fair, she's protecting her interest and as is every other character in this show.

She has not attained Cercei's level of bad b!tch.
When Larys killed his father and brother, she was legit horrified.
Cersei wouldn't feel anything.

Speaking of Larys, that guy is pure evil.
A man that can kill his own family should be avoided.
Alicent better stay the hell away from that monster.

Daemon is a shadow of his former self.
He looks tired and depressed and lacking in ambition.
Maybe the death of his wife will spur him to life again.
I need the old Daemon back.

Laena's death was painful and sad.
I've had enough of pregnant women dying in this show.

Episode 6 is great and compelling.

I rate it 8/10

abduleez1:
So Mike De Luca shops Constantine series and Madame X to potential buyers and brings back a 17yr old movie with a sequel.
Okay..
This is why it's happening.

WBD new leadership under David Zaslav, unlike Disney, are not interested in controlling most of their IPs.

Rather he is looking for ways to make fast money for a studio that is in debt.

Normally these IPs would stay within the confines of WBD and stream on HBO Max but not anymore.

David Zaslav is willing to sacrifice these shows for short term gains and fast money by licensing and shopping to other networks.

He's actually robbing HBO Max and strengthening her rivals.

Imagine what Justice League Dark characters would do for HBO Max if it turns out to be a a hit like Sandman did on Netflix.

With the way David Zaslav is handling things, Green Lantern show probably won't see the light of day.
