Not to mention the entire first eight hours were hilariously crazy. Best day of work ever.

You hit the nail on the head for everything except how the music created Middle-Earth. Iluvatar created Middle-Earth afterwards and showed the Ainur that the music they had made (not the music that he had necessarily planned) helped shape the events/time/flow of history/whatever in the world and that even Melkor's """disharmony""" did fuck all and was apart of Iluvatar's grand vision or plan or whatever. Essentially Iluvatar chastised Melkor for literally no reason because either A. Melkor's own song did fuck all anyways or B. It was Iluvatar's plan all along. The latter of which is what's told in the book.

Either way Iluvatar is a selfish prick.

Pretty sure I got one or two of those details wrong.

Who's really in the wrong? Melkor for singing his own song and creating """disharmony""" in the music (which didn't amount to anything significant anyways), or Iluvatar for not letting Melkor just sing his own song? I'd argue the latter; what's with Gods and thinking they're all high and mighty? Would it kill them to be a little more humble?

The war is essentially over, Assad has won. Why would his regime do the one thing that would justify regime change in the wake of their factual victory? If the US government/media wants regime change for their own interests/agenda fine, whatever; but for the love of God they're doing a piss job at trying to sell it to me or anyone else for that matter. Can anyone here honestly say they want the US to be involved in this shitshow?

So the solution is to just kill off welfare queens right?

Fast food and Walmart employees are the most subsidized (by tax dollars) labor forces in the nation. The entire demographic regularly pulls out more than they give in (although that's attributed to the disproportionate amount of single mothers employed).
Supporting businesses like McDicks or BK is essentially promoting a welfare state.

They pay taxes.

you contribute nothing positive

fast food workers are only holding society back

you are negatively affecting society

I’m afraid so, I truly hate how I’m wired sometimes.

Lmao get fucked.

SEED and Unicorn MGs have a few that follow what you're looking for, I'd suggest checking HobbyLinkJapan under those criteria.

also >implying that ian has more gunpla than me

Yeah I don't doubt that you have more. I only have eight, five of which aren't even put together.

i wound up appreciating it more on the rewatch

It's definitely an interesting series.

shinji still makes me want to die though, i don't think i'll ever forget that thing he did in the last movie

Shinji is by far one of my most favorite if not my absolute favorite fictional character. Probably because I see so much of myself in him, it's easy for me to put myself in his story because I can completely relate to his struggles and challenges.

"That" scene in EoE was meant to show just how broken he was. Yes, it was a disgusting thing to do, and he even admitted to it, but you have to understand all the shit that he just went through. His friend is a clone of his dead mom, his guardian tried to fuck him, he was forced to kill the only person that showed him any compassion. It's hard to walk away from all that and not be fucked up in some way.

I hope you’re not referring to me. Eva is a show I hold very close to my heart and I’m glad it wasn’t tainted by being in this flick.

@Napalm: I groaned at it for the same reason people groaned at the Iron Giant being in the movie. It’s a shitty marketing ploy that funnily enough the movie itself insults halfway through.

i thought you didn't like eva anyway

No, I have MoviePass.

You actually paid a ticket to watch this?! 😂

There was unironic clapping whenever Tracer and the Spartan-IIs appeared. Everyone just stayed silent when the Gundam appeared to fight Mecha-Godzilla, but cheered when the Iron Giant came back into the fight. The choreography was surprisingly good but I still was displeased throughout the scene.

Did you clap when you saw the reference?

>What was the point in the opening cutscene with Halsey and Cortana?
>What the fuck was the point in the Janus Key?
>Why did ONI go from trying to kill Halsey to rescuing her?
>If the composer is gone, how are there still all these Prometheans around? Surely The Flood wouldn't have been an issue if the Didact had that many beforehand.
>Why did no one from either Blue Team or Osiris help Chief/Locke respectively during their 1v1? Blue Team was trying to do everything to help Chief and Osiris had orders.
>How is there still enough Covenant for a civil war on Sanghelios? You would think after the events of Halo 3, they would've splintered heavily.
>Why bother bringing back Cortana in the first place? It completely throws away any defense Halo 4 had for it's story over Chief being more "human".
>Why would you tie integral parts of the story to outside media? The player shouldn't need to do homework to understand the story of the game, even if it does start In Medias Res.
>Why is this game so fucking bad?

I would argue what it evokes should be worse considering there were people that got fucking bayonetted after hearing it.

because of what it evokes

banzai doesn't evoke anything in particular

it pays well not to be literal-minded
