yeah I eat rear end posted:In the mines of moria in the first LOTR why didn't those stairs/bridges have handrails? Did dwarves just never trip or stumble? Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. At least in a few cases those bridges seemed to be deliberate chokepoints to defend the mines from invasion.

I had an old boss whose high school mascot was the Kewpies  Looking at some of the photos of their mascot I’m wondering if the people making that movie might have seen these. It’s apparently a well known terrible mascot. Blast Fantasto has a new favorite as of 03:43 on Oct 21, 2019 |

John Candy was dumb and annoying and almost got them killed but he didn't, so maybe ease up a bit, gosh. isnt that literally his character arc

Superman could probably wipe out every military on earth in a couple of months. It's not like they could do anything about it if he just showed up and started picking up tanks and F35s and chucking them into the sun. He could probably clear away most of the plastic in the ocean in a few months. But no he has to spend most of his time cosplaying a human and fighting skinny Donald Trump.

That’s superhero level aiming skill there. They have fire control systems for that. They're probably using Stark's own systems he would have made able to lock onto the radar profile of a small bird. Or an Ironman.

Or the one where he breaks every weapon on both sides of a war and they just keep fighting with their bare hands. Though the best versions are where he spends 90% of his time as Superman doing humanitarian stuff and saving people from disasters while fighting pretty rarely.

Dwarves are super secretive and live a long time, a stronghold being quiet for decades might not be too weird.

Superman is like Dr. Manhattan. You can’t use them as an example because they’re too powerful/don’t make sense. In Red Son, Superman defeats the United States military because the character has no real limitations to his power. I liked in The Boys where someone suggests Homelander push up a falling airplane a la Superman and he’s like, “it doesn’t work like that.” MariusLecter posted:They have fire control systems for that. They're probably using Stark's own systems he would have made able to lock onto the radar profile of a small bird. Or an Ironman. But tanks knocking out flying objects? I wasn’t aware that was a thing, but if it is that’s pretty kickass.

You could probably handle it with maybe two flying super strong guys at the fore and aft basically acting as landing gear, slowing the plane to a stop.

Or activate the floatation devices and take every person off the plane and not burn anyone with the laser eyes perhaps

packetmantis posted:The balrog probably killed everyone pretty quickly, they may not have had time to send word. The story with Moria is that it was a major kingdom of dwarves before the Balrog killed the king and drove them out, so they left for like 20-30 years. That part is well-known history to all the dwarves. But after a few decades, a contingent of dwarves returned to recolonize it, and they were successful for a few years but then went silent. The leader of that group was Balin, the one that Gimli(in LOTR) was related to. At the time of LOTR, when the Fellowship discovers all the dead dwarves, Balin's group had been missing for about 5 years but that was the first definitive proof of what happened to them(they were overrun and killed by orcs).

The thought is right but your timeline is not even close. 1980 of the Third Age, the Balrog awakens 1981 of the Third Age, the Balrog drives dwarves out of Moria. 2989 of the Third Age , Balin attempts to recolonize 2994 of the Third Age, all the dwarves are killed 3019 of the Third Age, Gandalf enters Moria and kills the Balrog * Khazad-dûm was founded sometime in the First Age, thousands of years before doverhog has a new favorite as of 00:22 on Oct 22, 2019 |

I never saw it but the new movies don’t hurt the old ones. Although I will say some movies like Casablanca or Vertigo probably not getting remade. If you have cojones to improve on that good luck to you. Psycho was kind of a crapfest and then got remade. No one made bones from that

I don't mind remakes/reboots in general, if the remakes are significantly better like the new star trek movies. I only get irritated by the ones that just copy the premise and update the technology and it just feels pointless.
