@Ibra_official Shoulda replace Alexi Lalas with some random bloke from the pub, whose watches loads of games but only played when he was lile 12 as a total contrast.

I mean Alexi was close, but you could have found a proper larger lout!

@LoloEtny I believe the martial art is called “What the Fuuuuu!?”

I train with a 70 year old 5th dan+ grandma. And chucked at the thought that if this was the 80s/90s she’d have been found and cast in some martial arts B-Movie titled “Nanny Ninja - The Silent Septuagenarian Assassin”

@ClaireMax So 135lbs is his best or is it lower than that?

@CasseCool With the rule that keepers can’t step off the line until it’s kicked, should be modified cos of the stutter step crap.
Should be on the line until the penalty taker run(whistle is blown) and then they have to keep just one foot touching the line.

The stutter step is annoying.

This is 100% true.

Earlier this week I read the entire Adam Rifkin He-Man script from 2005 that was to be directed by John Woo and possibly feature Nicolas Cage as Skeletor (Woo's first choice for the role.)

The movie we got was better. Much better.

The 2005 film does lean into a myriad of tropes from that era; lots of talk of Adam being "the One," Teela has a bit of a "dodge this" moment with Evil-Lyn in the final battle, and Skeletor's assault on Castle Grayskull at the end is straight out of Return of the King, with terrordactyls replacing the fell beasts and cybernetically enhanced T-Rexes filling in for the oliphaunts.

A number of sequences would have been unquestionably epic, to be sure.

But there's also a lot that just feels off. Adam wants Teela but she's a total jerk to him for 90% of the movie, very unlikable. She even calls him a wuss at one point. Adam is a foul-mouthed punk, goes back and forth as to whether he even wants to be He-Man (he likes that his new muscles draw Teela's attention but at the end wants to flee instead of standing his ground against Skeletor's approaching army) and there's a lot of talk about how only the first born son of an Eternian King can wield the power sword.

So Adam isn't as special on his own, it's more about who his parents were and the order in which he was born. Skeletor is *also* a first born son of a king (big "twist" at the end) since they lean into the 200X cartoon and make him Keldor, Randor's older brother.

Skeletor is mad that his (and Randor's) father exiled him after his father discovered he was into dark magic, so he made a deal with Hordak, lost his face, and is back for revenge against all of Eternos. Since Adam isn't as special in this version (and a whiny punk to boot), Skeletor can also use his "first born Eternian prince" status to use the power sword to transform.

Adam and Skeletor don't actually face or even speak to each other until the final battle at the end of the movie in the 2005 script.

There's also a scene where Beast Man hypnotizes a bunch of insect people (think Buzz-Off) to have them attack the heroes, and He-Man and Teela cut them to pieces like they're random Geonosians. Those characters were not evil, just hypnotized! When Beast Man is defeated the hypnotism wears off and the insect people just fly away. Just another example of something that just felt wrong for He-Man.

Anyway, I've seen people point to anywhere from 1999 to 2005 as "peak, pre-woke civilization." And I think there's a lot of truth to that claim.

But if the movie we ended up getting in 2026 is better than a "peak era" He-Man script, and the visuals we're getting now are undeniably better than anything we would have gotten then, with a perfect cast, an all-time great villain in Skeletor, some of the best music in decades, and an Adam/He-Man whose nature is much more in line with classic He-Man (certainly Filmation era at least) then that's pretty freaking awesome and a literal dream come true.

@pattonoswalt Sorry for your loss, of losing… you?

[Comie @Comieb]

Is it me or are there more scrappy goals this World Cup?

Like the goals are what id expect from my 8 year olds games. Is the smart ball causing all kinds of issues?
