BSUP #40 - Rings of Power Absolutely Sucks

[@MegaSpideyman]

Bag Face had some incredibly surprising takes this time. Glad chat and most of the lads called him out.

[@jeffreyspinner5437]

Bag Face is just trying to cope with a world he cannot understand, like Amandalalala. That's the problem with ppl that can't think as an adult like others can. Formal Operations or bust... Like Amandalalala some ppl may never have their prefrontal cortex turn on around 26 years old like us humans, but that wouldn't be a study that would be allowed in the current environment to falsify, now would it? Idk y, but in my medical practice in the ghettos of NYC, I noticed almost all the kids (and the adults when they were around) had a remnant of a very hard impact on their foreheads that cut their skin and left a scar. That could also be a reason for the prefrontal cortex never turning on, it was physically damaged. Until I worked in NYC, I didn't know the kids were taught to hit each other in the head with textbook edges... that has to cause permanent injury. That's a potential kill blow. There is a high incidence of seizure disorders in the ghettos, and that could be a major reason why.

[@matthewcarroll2533]

that's... actually normal for him. Basically he has bad takes.

@@matthewcarroll2533 Affirmative Action in action. Oh, wait, SCOTUS said that was illegal now, so ESG/DIE in action and the attacks of the nation's productive ppl continue unabated. It's amazing to watch how our educational institutions create perfect victims and tools for the ppl that use them. If you have infinite money (Panama Papers revealed Trillions of dollars hidden) like the oligarchs do, you can research and construct the perfect foil to ever get overthrown by ensuring your potential enemies are incompetent, mislead and confused to the point of uselessness. BagFace is a perfect example of the male version of the fewer and fewer living post vaccination chicks that are spouting off their bs taught to them by their weaponizers on college campuses. The occasional use of X shows me there are very few left, which confuses me because bot farms is a thing, so it should _appear_ to be any number they want to present. If he got vaccinated he's' on borrowed time and will self immolate soon enough. Clots matter. Either way the way the vax attacks the ACE2 receptors in the lungs and *testes* no little Bagfaces in the future, so just wait and in my case my sons will inherit the earth... oh, yeah, I have 2 sons military age waiting for WWIII. Ffs.

[@jeffreyspinner5437]

@@MegaSpideyman Baggy Face stopped burning his scalp to color his hair like a ESG/DIE drone, so that's a step in the right direction. I used to give so much shite to The Movie Cynic about his blue hair, cause he just stopped, so I was saying he's not representing his blue hair crew of nincompoops. He responded and said, he just got tired of having to burn his scalp. I said, he's not a true ally, all the women can handle burning their scalp all the time. Look at all the weirdos that still do it for absolutely no reason but to front their public declaration for their genetic termination because they will never have a kid. Too bad, it takes a while even with getting shot up with multiple doses of a waxination of unknown origin (it's coming back btw, just in time for the election steal, part deux) but given the dearth of wingbats not appearing in my feed, or even commenting on ytube, I think a majority of them are already dirt napped or lost enough function they can no longer sit up and type their histrionic beliefs given to them by their professors like good useless eater wetbots.

1:54:33 I’m waiting for my favorite platoon line. “I fucking hate time travel”.

[@ScreamingDoom]

Does Bag Face not realize that movies/TV are a storytelling medium? As in, all the things he's concerned about are literally (as it was stated) superficial and entirely in service of the story? If Bag Face loves anything LoTR, then I wonder what it would take for him to declare that something LoTR-related was shit. I mean, if LoP had Not-Gandalf turn out to be a Terminator who then time travels to the LoTR-era, goes to the little Hobbit village, kills Frodo, Sam, and Bilbo, then finds Rosie, skullfucks her in front of the village and ends with a calypso musical number in which he proclaims that Sauron is their new lord and master to which they all enthusiastically agree, would that be enough? I am honestly curious exactly how bad something LoTR would have be for Bag Face to declare it sucks. I guess Bag Face is basically the LoTR equivalent of Star Wars Theory who defended Star Wars all the way until Acolyte, which was his final straw.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

With Bag Face there’s really no point looking for logic. He’s a self-proclaimed idiot and he gets off being a contrarian. Just let him give his dumb takes and ignore him. Also hard disagree SWT is the equivalent. He’s hated Disney’s slop for many years now, he just kept it mostly quiet because he’s optimistic to a fault.

[@majkus]

The code-switching between English and Elvish is just one of the problems-admittedly very difficult to solve in this setting-with language. There is no Common Speech at this time (which was basically disseminated by the Númenoreans), and so when the Southlanders are speaking, it must be some local dialect; the Harfeet would be speaking still a different dialect, probably related to that of the Men of the North (represented by the resemblance of Rohirric (Old English) to archaic Hobbit words in the book). In that case, 'Gand' would be the word for 'wand'; but it would not be a 'foreign' word for the Harfoots. Similarly, 'Alf' for 'elf' (In Gandalf, elf of the wand) should not be a foreign word for the Harfeet. They also have haphazardly chosen Quenya instead of Sindarin in many places; and some names like Mordor are Sindarin words, and for the Southlands to instantly be known by that name is, well, inexplicable. It's probably best not to overthink the language stuff, because the audience has to hear English for important dialogue-but the code-switching and the introduction of 'gand' as a special word draw attention to the language issues rather than letting the audience simply ignore them.

[@MegaSpideyman]

You illustrate a great knowledge of Tolkien's world.

[@majkus]

Sauron was not especially known as a shape-shifter; but he certainly did so in the First Age when he fought, and was defeated, by Lúthien and Huan.

[@raconteurgirl1502]

Thank you Platoon for putting my frustration with the S1 opening monologue of RoP now being contributed by the S2 opening backstory into words. The writing on this garbage show is beyond bad. The writers treat the audience with utter contempt. You have to have no brain to like this show.

[@reek4062]

In their defense, the writers are aiming for the fans of the Peter Jackson films.

[@S4ns]

Bagface should change his name to Consoomerface. "Some of the acting was good." Where? Who? What part? Are we sure he watched the right show?

[@S4ns]

So he gave it a five just because it was "Lord of the Rings and I'll watch it." It's the same fucking goober logic that that Diznoids says about Star Wars. 'Any Star Wars is good Star Wars. If you'll complain you'll get nothing.' The whole reason we get shows of subterranean quality is because open mouthed breathers like him will eat any slop shoveled at them as long as there's a recognizable brand name attached.

[@jeffreyspinner5437]

Britney is just one in a long line of MkUltra betakittens that couldn't stay with the programming, so freaked out from time to time. The funny thing is, MkUltra is admitted, so conspiracy facts. In fact, like Musk said, we seem to be running out of "conspiracy theories" (CIAduh moniker to combat the fake JFK assassination narrative) that turned out to be proven false. I think we're left with flat earth, big footie, and the moon is a flat dish... the moon landings were faked, since they still have never presented telemetry or other physical evidence of humons (sic) ever touching the moon, so for me, until proven true, it ain't. How many times does holly wood have to make movies about a parallel gambit to fake the moon landings until you start to go, hmmmm . That's a propaganda trope to obfuscate even your own assertions when they are indefensible...🤔

The best thing about remote working is remote working. I wish I could have done that as a FDNY Haz-Tac Paramedic, because I wouldn't have been exposed to all kinds of shite and smells and sights and sounds. My partners would try to give me shite because I wore earplugs as hearing protection inside the ambulance. A decade later and now retired, _I can still hear._

Thanks for answering my superchats. I don't think Niyat or Reaper answered it, but at least I got something.

"I like Lord of the Rings and I'll watch it!" I think this is the fan mindset that Disney is trying to engineer in secret labs.

[@FringeSpectre]

They'll do Metal Sonic and Amy in the fourth movie. It'd be weird to not introduce Metal alongside Amy.

They should of introduced Metal before Edgy the Edgehog, seriously only 13yo's and adult edgelords think that lame ass character is worth anything. Even his sob story is a lame rip off of several other stories.

[@FringeSpectre]

First off, that's the most brain dead take I've ever heard. Shadow has always been cool, and his story in SA2 was absolutely heart wrenching for kids at the time. We never had a Sonic game with such a dark story before that, and all my friends and I were blown away by it. Secondly, It's not a rip off. I can't think of a single story off the top of my head that Shadow's story ripped off. I'm sure it was inspired by something though, you know, like everything you like and ever have liked. No idea is original my guy. Seriously though, Sonic Adventure 2 has the best story of any Sonic game. It's simple, it takes itself seriously, it tells a compelling story, and it didnt treat 11 year old me like a baby. It gave me a dark anti-hero with pathos who has deep connections to the wider world. Shadow is worth a whole hell of a lot, even if Sega screwed up with his solo title. Idk why you'd say what you said unless it's to trigger people, which I would say doesn't put you too far off base from the adult edgelords you're criticizing.

[@tymoteuszbryx249]

I will disagree with the panel on Terminator Zero. I think they’re missing some important points. Firstly, going back in time and creating a new timeline. Yes, it doesn’t save the people that you know, but it gives humanity as a race a chance for survival by hopefully avoiding the judgment day. Secondly, following quite commonly accepted idea of divergence of timelines as described, I believe by Terry Pratchett, history has the tendency to right itself. Therefore, let’s say if they moved back 10 years and a person who invented a CD this time won’t do it, someone else (probably around the same time) will. Therefore, the differences in the future will not be that big. It is a bit harder to explain that the judgment day happens exactly on the same day, but following some other ideas, it could be one of those kind of fixed points in time. I would appreciate if they would, for example move it by at least few days or weeks one of the main characters off and showing that this is indeed a different future. On the topic of how Malcolm convinces Kokoro about the need to save humanity, I would say that he showed her that we are the worst, but also the best species. We destroy, but we also create. And most importantly, we can selfishly sacrifice ourselves for the greater good, which animals will not do. Overall, I would agree with critical drinker that it is the best entrance in the franchise since terminator two even though it has some flaws.

[@J.Hermansson]

Got a question for BF, have you read any Tolkien? Cause if you have I don't understand how you can call this series mid.
