@MarkWarner@SenateDems How much less would we be paying if the Democrats hadn’t left an open border allowing millions upon millions into the USA that now need to be removed? Not popular to say but it’s true
No, I always give shows a chance but tge writing on Rings of power is horrible and taking any franchise and completely ignoring its lore is moronic and the piss poor ratings show it is exactly so. I am so sick of people trying to call people haters for wanting to stick to the story when the “broader audience” who may not know the story as well reject the BS writing because it is just poor
@GigaBasedDad Give me a Spartacus along the lines of Kirk Douglasses. Epic military battles, a great love story between Spartacus and his men as well as his wife, and based loosely on actual historical events (though Roman’s do tend to exaggerate things a bit)
Dad doing Dad things, so sad he won’t be there to see his little girl )Praying for her full recovery). Finding a good man and walking her down the aisle or seeing her succeed in whatever career she chooses. If you have to depart this world going out saving your little girl is probably one of the better ways to go
They spent stupid amounts of money on the LOTR Appendices rights and still managed to ignore what they paid the rights for to make a girl boss fan fiction pairing with Sauron despite tge fact Galadriel was MARRIED in the timeframe they explore, and don’t even get me started on the stupidity of the Mordor reveal and stupidity of a volcanic ash cloud not killing everyone it overtakes (ask Pompeii residents how that went for them)
Yeah let’s force sone diversity to bring in a new audience for a show with tons of diversity and probably the best written female character (not just Science fiction ALL TV Genres) development in Samantha Carter from hyper intelligent team contributor to an actual leadership position, leadership in Atlantis was 90% female in three leadership changes. Teal’c is one of the strongest most honorable and best character arcs in the series
@MichaelShanks@mynerdyhome Amazon is looking to cut spending to pay for data centers for AI IMHO and their video service makes peanuts compared to their other businesses.
@4TaxFairness@SenRubenGallego Regular people do the same thing with home equity loans do they not? Pass that law and a ton of money is going to move to real estate so they can do the same thing in a different way which will drive real estate prices even higher faster IMHO
Amazon is in serious danger of getting the fanbase to turn on them if they do go it what they did with Rings Of Power.
The show has had major diversity of all types well before it was mandated by Hollywood so what sort of “Broader Audience” are they going to appeal to? Samantha Carter is one of the best most developed characters in TV (Not just science fiction) and the leadership of Stargate Atlantis was 90% of the time female. This is unreal and whatever executive did this needs to be fired and replaced with an AI bot because he/she is wasting space that could be better served by real writers and creatives.
