Wetin dis people dey cook like this....😭😭

This just killed my interest in this show I mean why?

Why even announce it even if its there. Instead let your story speak for you not these woke shit.

Whenever I see stories like these I have come to assume the plot will be shit. If not why try to win cheap woke praises. If your characters are well written and they flow with the plot effortlessly I won't care if they are queer or whatever. I definitely don't go out there hunting for lgbtq or woke whatever movies/series. if it occurs in a show I am watching but it blends well with the plot and the characters like in the case of "Interview with the Vampire" I don't mind.

But when its the only tangible thing in your series like Acolyte, its just a no no for me.

@BlackManta

Lol that guy never has anything positive to say about Marvel and by extension Disney. I have been watching his comments here for a while. If he does at all maybe once in a blue moon.

Its not as if he is the only DC fan here. Other DC fan understandably come for Marvel when they have the chance but still you see them acknowledge when they do good. People like abduleez and the purple guy grin

I do hope he is a man of his word and actually deactivate. I would respect him alot.

That's not a fact. These awards are just popular on CNN. In real life, most people on earth don't give a hoot


True but I feel his point is the people who care about awards in movies and tv series hold these award shows in high esteem

The gods of theater won’t forgive me, if I don’t mention my favorite TV show moment thus far:

Interview with the Vampire (Season 2, Episode 1)
I had to recorded this scene.

Scene - Louis and Claudia leaving Romania in a carriage after a failed attempt to find more (vampires) like them. Claudia was clearly depressed under the weight of her potential eternal existence.

The music that ushered in the scene, made me believe that how well light classical music can fit into a scene is the litmus test for the concentration of magic within it ✨

The dialogue that ensued was… poetry. I must warn, it is not suitable for the heartbroken; hiding behind huge emotional defenses. Don’t watch this scene, those walls would come crashing down.

Louis (to Claudia)

- “I wanna say something to you.”
- “I don’t need to hear anything back, I just need you to hear me.”
- “Hard words and soft words.”

- “The Hard.”
- “Our life is shit. It’s been shit.”
- “It is shit. It’s gonna be shit again.”
- “Stop feeling sorry for yourself.”
- “No one’s watching, no one cares.”
- “A shit life beats no life.”
- “But where we’re going now, we can’t be running away again.”
“Doesn’t mean we forget what we saw. What she did in front of us.”
- “If I see you going that way, I’m going pull you back. I don’t need that from you.”
- “As long as you walk the Earth, I’ll never taste the fire, you understand me?”
- “We’re going to find others like us.”
- “And if it ain’t here, cos life is shit, or I Bleep it up again, or you Bleep it up.”
- “we’ll go to the next place.”
- “We can’t be the only good ones out there.”

- “soft words.”
- “If you were the last vampire on Earth, it would be enough.”

I have said it before and will repeat it again. Definitely the best series I have seen all year

My worry with this will be how the character is written Disney love for woke shit is at an all time high. I mean look at the absolute disaster that was The Acolyte. If she is written well like she was in Logan I am down. It will be easier for MCU fans to like her given her existing lore but if they ruin the character like they did capt Marvel I fear for the future of their new X-Men Saga.

No it's not logical because it's won't be the same production crew? The only thing they could reuse is the architectural drawings but it has to immediately be torn down? The same thing goes for sets of Harrenhal in s2 and s4, they'd to redo the sets again

It could be the same production crew or at least to a large percentage if its immediately after GOT you can't be certain they will change everyone.

Every Land used for production is for lease or rent. Do you think they'd continue paying for a set for 5 years that's of no use. Plus Harrenhal is different 170 years from Ayra's time

Exactly why I said they most likely tore it all down after the end of GOT? And no one said Harrenhal will be the same but if HOTD was made immediately after GOT the logical thing is to reuse what you have while making necessary adjustments no?

Wtf are you saying? So you don't see a difference between HoTD S1 and S2? They're how many locations in S1 and S2? How many VFX shots for dragons and dragon battles did you seen in S1. They had to create Harrenhal, Winterfell, the Vale, they built a full city for Kings Landing, they built a fully functioning sewer which took months to create, you think that's easy. Do you know how many years it also took to make HoTD S1? More than 2 years.
Because of the workload for Dragon shots and SFX - they had to bring in thousands of extras, create new sets. You should know the problems it comes with making sets and production expenses

Interesting one would have thought they would reuse the set from GOT. I mean they had alot of the current locations even Harrenhall where Ayra met no one. Well it is possible it was all tore down after it ended.

She just stupid to be blunt. She made her queen short of one dragon for no sensible reason. She was borderline suicidal to be honest.

She had gotten an immerse lick of killing the usurper and his dragon. That was a job well done for the day in my book. Even the unnecessary injury to Vaghar was another plus. She had 2 chances to escape but foolishness prevailed

It was a poor showing from the king/usurper. But Vaghar and Meleys made up for it even though the rider of Meleys wasn't very smart.

Apparently the King isn't dead at least not yet. We need more of the same. All these constant talks of lords, houses and loyalty don tire me. This is what I came to see.

Good on Rhaenys for serving us food however stupid the decision was.

the mad king is the last Targaryen who rule and definitely it's will be at the end of The season

Nah the mad king is decades after the dance of dragons. There were still several Targaryen rulers after this war, like the Egg who I believe a series is being made for. Most of them if not all were obsessed with bringing back the age of dragons.

Rhaenyra is beginning to annoy me.

A completely pointless risk with zero rewards. There was never any benefit to meeting Alicent.
Things had already escalated way beyond cheap discourse.
So much risk to meet Alicent that she hasn't met in months...someone she doesn't even know if she has changed...


Even if she convinced Alicent, what would Alicent do exactly? Is she the one on the throne?

Alicent does not have the power to end the war...so it was a completely pointless meeting with no benefit whatsoever...

Imagine putting yourself and your entire cause at risk for nonsense...

I'm starting to think Rhaenyra is not just soft but becoming fôolish as well...
That is why she needs someone like Daemon at her side...

It seems like the only thing their meeting achieved was that now Rhaenyra would know that whatever she does next she had a right to...

But still a pretty unnecessary and fôolish risk that raises some eyebrows to the writing of this episode

Apparently she is written in the show to be more likeable compared to the books where she can't be labelled as soft at all.

Truth is neither Alicent and this version of Rhaenyra are good at the game of throne. They are playing it with their emotions rather than their head.

Alicent should have definitely had her captured if she was using her head and for Rhaenyra well you have made that point already.

But it does drives the viewers more to Rhaenyra's side which is what they were going for I guess.

Broskyjames:
Yup, mis interpreted would be the right word, as she saw signs but just mis read them.

But i totally hate how, The prince that was promised was such a huge concept in the books, and in the GOT series, it was just like a flinging afterthought ultimately leading to them leaving the true identity of The Prince that was promised in great ambiguity in the hand. TPTWP is supposed to lead the world from darkness, and at very stages of the show the most obvious candidates would have been Jon Snow and Danys, both from Aegon's bloodline, but in literal terms, I don't think any of them did lead the world from darkness, even though the Night King was an invention of the show, it was the most obvious darkness throughout the show, and he was killed by Arya, and it was infact Danys dragons that helped in bridging the wall for the white walkers. Jon snow or Danys would have been perfect with better writing, as their story is literally the Song of Fire and Ice.

After the show caught up with the books around season 5, they were kind of winging it from there, and ended up with a rather ambiguous ending. Mad over that S8 again.

Yep S8 was a travesty.

Do you know the prophecy of the prince that was promised is very similar to that of Azor Ahai from the far east where the Yi Ti are one of the dominant civilization. Melisandre is from there and she equated both prophecies to being the same thing and used them interchangeably.

But it is very interesting to me that 2 very similar prophecies exist on both ends of the continent with their own spin on it. Although the prophecy of Azor Ahai came first.

The world of ice and fire is very interesting when you go deep into the lore outside of westeros.

You have a weird jungle Sothoryos to the south. A dragon rider tried to map it but couldn't find the southern border calling it a land with no end.

You have the shivering sea which rumor has it there are ice dragons that breathe ice instead of fire.

You also have the bones which is a mountain separating Essos from the far east, guarded by three forts with women only fighters.

Then there is the Jogos Nhai east of the bones who are essentially like the dothraki but ride zebra like horses and elephants.

There's also the Empire of Yi Ti which is analogous to China. They too have an interesting lore. It is believed one of their emperor the bloodstone emperor caused the long night which was then ended by Azor Ahai. They also have the five forts which is similar to the wall in westeros which protects them from demons apparently.

Asshai where Melisandre came from, the city at the end of the known world. Its the most eastern and southern city. Its the centre of dark magic.

Broskyjames:
I just remember now, how Melisandre also deceived Stannis Baratheon, as the prince that was promised and bro willingly killed his daughter cuz of it 🤣🤣

She didnt deceive him in the sense that she knew her interpretation of what she saw in the flames were wrong and acted as if she was right. She was just wrong on her summation of what she saw and didnt realize. Same can be said about The Egg (Aegon V Targaryen) who saw the vision of Dany with everything burning around her and the birth of her dragons and thought the vision was about him and he ended up burning himself and his family.

I doubt it. Man united is a struggling club whose future is uncertain and they have a precedence of killing the talent of most of their recruits post Fegie.

There is only 2 English clubs where I feel he is very likely to hit the ground running thats Arsenal and Liverpool. Man City too but they already have Haaland so not an option. Man utd nope, Chelsea nope. But ultimately it is up to him to decide lets see if he bites

Interview with the Vampire Season 2 is ultra peak. Hands down the best piece of fiction I have seen all year. It completely improves on what was a solid Season 1 in every way. This is what great writing, immaculate dialogue, and breathtaking acting look like. Just a total masterclass!

Characters I'm waiting to see more of us Alynn of Hull and Cregan Stark. Heart wrenching deaths go too bokku! this season. Some characters turn would be damn sad AF watching as their fates unfold.

I personally just want to see it all burn!

It would be nice to see the wild dragon "the cannibal" which was the biggest dragon at the time. There are theories it was bonded Corlys Velaryon but he just didn't know. Even if its just one shot of its shadow over Corlys ship it would be nice.

And the Mufasa is out now, and you have seen me watching it and complaining about it on here abi?.

Whatever i complain about, and i genuinely don't like, and i don't partake in it, i stand on business till the end!

You guys saw all 3 episodes, and eagerly waiting the fourth this week, but you have written a thesis on about 2 minutes of the entire episodes released thus far...

It's best you guys set your priorities straight, yourself learn the concept of context while at it.


I think you should improve your deductive skills because you are confusing me with abduleez or who ever wrote an epistle on this.

Point is you complained about something that your complaint will in no way have any effect on. Others are doing the same thing. Let them have their time in the Sun. You can't criticize what you are guilty of that's the literal meaning of hypocrisy look it up.

Lemme use your own word at you again maybe it will guide you to the point.

As you complained back then did disney scrap Mustafa or did they and other studio take an oath not to do remakes anymore

That's why context matters. The show y'all complaining about has proven time and time again to have no shred of care for any sort of morality. So complaining about, something that they have quite literally done before in past seasons albiet in a different medium feels pointless.

Point being "The Boys" isn't a show to form morality police about. They have done more disgusting things without a war cry from you guys, so probably it's the act itself that disgusts you guys, and not the grey area of morality around the act itself, that's why I feel the outrage is pointless. If it was Butcher, that was suddenly turned, then i would have listened, because he has not had any prior inkling, but not Frenchie!.

You lot can't still see the point, by all means carry own with the whinging and complaining 👍🏿

You are only digging a deeper hole for yourself. Same context applies to your Mufasa argumentcomplain of studios doing remake as cash grab. When so many remakes have been made by different studios as cash grab. You see the hypocrisy grin

Just as you had the right to complain back then others have the right to do the same.

Just as your own argument was pointless even though you never agreed to it grin they too are allowed their time in the pointless air.

As we have complained now, they will definitely delete and re-plot Frenchie's role in the upcoming episodes right?? 🤷🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️. You lot keep bothering your heads over what you can't control, and how does this not even ruin the experience of seeing the entire show for you guys, if all y'all gonna do is complain about something that didn't even last 2 mins on screen for an episode that lasted about an hour.

Besides, i don't know what show you lot have been seeing for the last 4 years or so, or probably you lot haven't been paying attention, cuz the Frenchie guy has always been suggested to be on the spectrum.

This is how the world thinks now, or a section of it, best to get with the program, FF X4 the particular scene if it disgusts you so much, or better still avoid the show, instead of bickering about it for days, when you damn well know, when Episode 4 drops this week, you are still gonna be there 🤷🏿‍♂️.

Well thats the world you live in you have to accept it. People will always complain about stuffs irrespective of the fact they will not change it by complaining same way you were complaining about Disney's Mufasa a while ago knowing it won't change anything same way people are entitled to air their views. So on that point you have no ground to stand on. Because you are just as guilty so rest

The Boys S4 E1-E3 - 6/10
I hate to say it and I was really excited for this show tbh but it lowered the bar for me. THE MESSAGE is heavy on this one!
The political message has always been subtle throughout the boys but this time they've picked a side - THE LEFT. They've made right wing people look like they're all dumb conspiracy theorists looking for meaning in their life.
How the hell did they make Frenchie gay all of a sudden. Even his storyline is so dumb like they included it wayyyyy after they've written the script already- it was like the studio just said since Queen Maeve is no longer in the script we need to dump a gay character in the script and they just decided to make it Frenchie is just ludicrous at this point.
The Boys is just leaning into shock value and not story anymore because they've run out of ideas. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Dialogue is just not great anymore - they're trying to dig into an almost rotten pile ideas and increase shock value that'll make rounds on the internet

Same summation the first 3 episodes were very underwhelming not gonna lie. The writing is obviously declining and its sad to see. That Frenchie shit came out of no where. Even the shock value self is losing its value because we have seen it all before it doesn't have the same effect. Really hope future episodes gets better.

Poverty has made many people remove their tooth that RCT can fix, that's an obvious fact and you know it.

And RCT can't fix all tooth problems only endodontic lesion at least learn something today. There is no fact in what you have said just dubious hubris

You are the one channeling what i said to displease yourself.

I didn't condescend on anyone, i simply stated my observations.

Many people i know have removed their tooth just because of minor tooth decay.

Lol didnt you say those words? Didn't you say he should do a procedure without even knowing if it will help. Didn't you say poverty has made people throwaway their tooth forever. That is a condescending statement like it or not. I ain't channeling anything I am not Doctor strange grin . I am only pointing out the problems with what you said.

Yes, dentists need to eat. I'm not removing a salvageable tooth forever because of money, something that was below 100k.

People are different, the only time i would lose my tooth is if its not salvageable or that I don't have the money to treat it.

The doctor would first observe it and tell you the possible solutions, to extract or to treat.

So if RCT costs 2 hundred naira, would you ask some to save the 2 hundred and remove his tooth?

People have different financial capacity, so that is that.

If RCT won't fix it sure thats the point then they remove it. RCT isn't the be all and end all. Medical conditions are different your own was a case of endodontic lesion which RCT can fix doesn't mean op will be the same thing.

If op tooth is extracted doesn't mean he was dumb or he didn't have the means. But his own issues were different from yours. Trying to put everyone in your own boat is the problem here.

It just like saying because amoxicllin worked for me it will work for everyone.

These are your words "poverty has made people throwaway their tooth forever. Do RCT and crown it". When you don't even know the diagnosis. When you don't even know if RCT will do anything. You are already proffering medical procedures and being condescending to people without means.

Looking at the picture it doesn't look like what you had its looking more complicated. But in your head since RCT worked for me it must work for everyone else
Health / Re: Can A Tooth With A Large Hole Be Cured Without Extraction by jikins(m): 2:14pm On Jun 08
YellowbaMoslem:


I know.but if you are bouyant enough, you wouldn't want to remove it.

Na your type of patients dentist dey find. But there are situations where you just can't save it. Not everyone's condition is the same. I remember seeing the xray of a 1st molar and its very clear nothing was saving it.

Those situations are very common with third molars because of how and when they erupt. That's why they are very notorious. What you treated was an endodontic lesion depending on the orientation of the tooth it might be prone to perio lesions.

Most times these tooth can come with a combined perio and endo lesion which are a pain to treat. So yes its good to keep a tooth but a good dentist always think long term.

If you look at the op picture you can suspect there could be a perio lesion there too. Obviously investigations need to be done to confirm.
