Yep...no one really knows what the movie is about. When time comes sha we will know for sure.

His career is almost dead to me...only kept alive by the next MCU project. I'm sorry but I don't take actors who aren't in a serious project for two years seriously.
What is your definition of a serious project?

Apparently the guy has a serious drinking problem
Same thing happened to Sam Worthington. At a point he was looking like he would be Hollywoods next action star, then he disappeared.
Fake news bro- he had an addiction to drinking in social gatherings but it wasn't serious to the extent of affecting his career. He was just type-cast. Being Spiderman affected his career not drinking and he has never touched a drink since 2018

Chris Nolan just resuscitated this dude's career.

Without the MCU man has been nothing!!
Another article said his movie is about vampires. What is going on?
By the way - his career was never dead. For an actor his age he was still active

Bruh, me and you dey the same predicament.

I always shout GOT is my best TV show of all time but I know within myself I no fit sit down myself rewatch am. Bruh, that's 8 seasons of wasting time of something I already watched and know about. Time I don't have and could have used on something fresh. There's tons of movies and shows I would like to watch that I haven't.

I remember watching The Batman in 2022 in a cinema and loved it. But few months later when it got released digitally I downloaded it again but I didn't rewatch it. Cos I ask myself, I vividly remember almost everything on this shit. Why waste that hours when I can get something else? The experience in the theatre was breath taking too with the screen and premium speakers. Why downgrade the experience?

The only reason I'll be able to rewatch many shows I loved or watched before is if I have friends or family watching it on TV near me. But me myself? It's hard not cos I think they're not good anymore.

Too many good shows comes out every damn week now. So it's impossible to watch even half of them.

I see stats like these on my TV and movies app and I get scared not barely scratching the surface of my personal watchlist. And new projects both old and new keeps enlarging the list everyday. 😩 👇🏽
Omo that’s you o. It has been a long time I rewatched GOT but if I had the time to do it again, I won't hesitate. Game of Thrones is not even long compared to what some folks are rewatching right now like Prison Break, Walking Dead. There was a time I was even rewatching Friends😩 but no time again

Reason why I dey find explanation. Texas, California and other Southern parts of USA were actually acquired from Mexico. So naturally, there'd be lots of Hispanic and constitute a big demographic.
That's not actually the reason. Texas was almost completely empty when the States bought- the main factor is migration. Almost 40% of Americans come from migrants - legal migrants

abduleez1:
Over 80%?? That's a pretty strong rhetoric. 😳
Can I see fact & figures or data backing this up??

Just curious.
80%😆 when most of the people in Texas here are Hispanics and they are here legally. It's more like 5-15%

And the narrator said she is just 2yrs older than him oh. I guess he's just too naive. Tragic way to go tho and he apparently took his mom with him.
I downloaded this the first day it came out but the quality was bad. I'll download later but you guys are spoiling the shit out of it

I know its not made by Disney. I've forgotten the channel name it airs on whether its PBS Kids or something and I know parents worldwide love it. I just hate it and also mentioned other shows like it I disdained.
Ok o that's you but if you have children some day best thing they could watch on TV is Bluey - It's the best and innovative show for little children and parents too

Lol, that stupid dog I hate the most?? It's the most hated show amongst all the present nonsense cartoons they watch in my presence. I wanted to state its name and how much I hated it but I don forget the werey name. 😤🙃 Bluey and that Disney Mickey Mouse show with Muppets shouting "oh tu dos" or whatever the hell they speak alongside PJ Pests deserved to be banned for life.

Its only SpongeBob and TMNT that Purple said are the worthwhile toons they watch. The rest deserve to be snapped out of existence.

Disney shows are the worst with pandering and dumb dialogues.

There's one I actually enjoy on Nickelodeon, it's a shorts animation with basically 2-4mins long episodes in between breaks. It was mostly slap stick Comedy of some sort and kinda Nick's own version of Minions.
Are you sure you know the show I'm talking about because you're the only person in the world I've heard hate on the show😭. It's not action or anything but it's very well written and parents really love the show for their kids. It's also not made by Disney. It's an Australian show

He is fooling. Not many people arsed about this show that much again or how it will end. Took too way too long just to get to this point for no apparent good reasons.

The only season finales that held the entire world on a chokehold in recent memory were "Felina" from BB and "The Iron Throne" from " (which turned out to be a wee disappointment btw) GOT".

So no other season finales is touching these 2, especially when TV serials is at it's lowest ebb...so oga release this shii, STFU and keep it moving fgs 😩
I don't think he's - I'm a Stranger Things lore fan and I've been following the s5 developments and lore for 2 years now. The Duffer Brothers have had a consistent plan and story since the first episode and there's no room for disappointment since they own the story. The directors of the episodes are also very awesome. The Director of Shawshank Redemption and the Walking Dead is directing multiple episodes - he literally came out of retirement because the script was so captivating to him. Also Shawn Levy is back. He directed three of the best episodes of Stranger Things.
The only problem I've with stranger things is it's ending 😭😭

Jimmy Neutron was an annoyance cos of one of my best friends that loved mimicking one of the stupid characters voice and accent....was it Jimmy abi na Felix?? 🤔

Johnny Bravo remains a classic just like: I am Weasel, Cow and Chicken, The Flintstones, Justice League Unlimited, Superman (with the episodes with Lobo being my fave), Batman Beyond, Biker Mice, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Captain Redbeard, Dexter.
We had tons of quality cartoons to watch during the weekdays and weekends nonstop.

I weep when I see the kind of crappy low tier cartoons kids of nowadays have to watch. Rubbish like PJ Masks, Vampirella etc...
The only cartoon that's a masterpiece right now is Bluey - the rest is just quantity over quality, producers don't put much effort in making good shows anymore because children will watch anything

It's a big problem right now- studios don't make quality cartoons anymore they depend on dog shit quantity after all children will watch anything😩. TikTok is also a big problem.

Why Penguin series is hot with a good story:

No LGBTQ+ junk in it.

No stupid nude display.

No pandering to diversity.

In a nutshell, no wokeism.

I'm just afraid that the Alphabet mafias might force the show to involve all the above or there will be no second season.
But most importantly giving the writers free rein to write good stories. Warner Bros is trying to add diversity to the 3 main cast in Harry Potter- Looks like J.K. Rowling is suing them

I love the animation.

This is the level of animation I was expecting from Invincible.
It doesn't have to be like Arcane but it has to look beautiful and sharp.

I love this
Thing is the folks who animated this animated Invincible too

The IMDb score of 5.9/10 wey I see no dey inspiring o. I see say na 1997 show. Is the animation still good?

What's the story about sef?
Am I the only one that can't watch old classic animes of those years nowadays because the animation is terrible in today's time and you can never get really good 720p/1080p quality Only One Piece has really clear quality and average animation but it makes up for with clever writing.
Animes like Dragon Ball, Naruto not Shippuden, Sailor Moon and Bleach

The movie looks gross. I'll pass
I think it's actually something YOU would love. It's not gross. It's about the female body and how society and the entertainment industry treats women when they're past their prime. It's a horror movie but its story about the female body is so good I wrote a 1,000 words essay on it on Reddit

One Nation under God
Democrats like changing history - it's evident. Black people don't even know Democrats where the ones always against the freeing of slaves and desegregation in Congress. The only reason black people started supporting Democrats was because Lyndon B. Johnson started giving them handouts when he realised he couldn't stop them from voting.
Now because most of them no longer believe in God - they decide to call the United States a non-religious country. So embarrassing coming from a 'religious' person.

IjeBos:
Huh? Wtf are you talking about.
What do you think Morality is or what is it's basis if not for God's commandments?
And you're talking about voting for Trump who has broken half of the 10 commandments, breaks a lot daily, and is unrepentant in it.
You sound like you've never read the Bible.
I wouldn't be surprised, if most Republicans did read the Bible, they would think Jesus was a wuss.
You should read the Bible. Do a study of the all the Gospels. Then ask yourself what Jesus says was the way to follow him and who he would vote for. It wouldn't be Trump.


Don't tell me what I'm abiding.
As I said, from where I'm standing you have 0 idea what Christianity is and seem to have never even read the Bible.
You're on here lying away, in service of a degenerate, a man you seem to idolize.



The Republican Party has a racist element which the Party enables and appeals to to win elections. It's a feature of the party not a bug.
Anyone who supports them enables that Racism.
I don't blame you, you don't understand US History so are just yammering about things you have no clue on.
Google the Southern Strategy.
Here, I'll help you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy



Again, you have 0 understanding of US history.
The motto was changed to "in God we Trust" in 1956. The US was founded in 1776. You didn't probably know that either.
So 200 years after its founding, Congress changed the motto. It used to be E Pluribus Unum. Which means, "Out of many, one".
The US was not founded as a Christian nation. The 1st amendment speaks to that. (Shit, Benjamin Franklin was a deist)
I am ok with the country being secular. It does not disturb my faith. You should ask yourself why it disturbs your faith.



Honestly, I am tired of "Christians" like you, who have never read the Bible nor understand it delegitimizing my faith.
If you want to speak on the US, read the History first.
If you want to speak on Christianity, read the Bible first.

I am comfortable in how I judge morality and am comfortable in my vote for Harris.
You should speak to how you judge morality or God's commandments (whatever makes them different from morality in your eyes) and why you are voting for Trump and idolize him.

I am supporting the Dems because I understand US History, have read the Bible and understand my faith, understand Economics, understand the law, and have a clear view of what I want in the country and what type of President I want to lead it. You should endeavor to do the same.
Last time I'd be responding to you here because unfortunately, no one can change an idiot's mind in any way.
If you know your history, you'd know the Democrats have always been the racist ones - Every Republican who has been president have always been on the side of great history - Republicans freed the slaves, made sure black people could vote and ended segregation? They've been called Racists because they don't segregate and treat any other race differently.
I'm a Republican and I'm not racist, you are -because you are a professional victim and treat black people as victims which Republicans don't.
Have a nice life.
