I just love how this film approaches stereotypes. EVERYONE is an overblown caricature, but they're all caricatures that don't line up with what you expect for their race. Asians are all caricatures of African American urban youth. Most black characters are either Asian-coded or yuppy White-coded. It does a great job of highlighting the absurdity of so many of those stereotypes.
And it's just a great Kung fu flick.
And I only learned about him in the first place because of Watchmen.
I am ashamed to admit that I still haven't seen these. I need to change that! I keep hearing that the first two are excellent, and the third movie and shorts are really good, too.
I'm working on finishing GoT before I watch this.
I have to say that Viserion is one of my favorite dragons on screen. I've always loved the D&D Dracolich concept, and that's the closest we've gotten in a show more movie.
I haven't seen that anime, I definitely should check it out. I was into DOTA briefly when it first came out and kinda dropped out when it became hyper competitive and toxic.
Dragonheart. I said elsewhere that I love that one, but am not quite so enthusiastic for any of the sequels. They just didn't do the original justice.
I loved the Themberchaud scenes in Honor Among Thieves! Man, what a wonderful movie in general. I hope it becomes a series.
Eragon was very watchable. It wasn't great, but it was fun enough.
I had all but forgotten about Dragonslayer! I loved Peter MacNicol as Galen in that. It was surprisingly good! I remember seeing this in a double feature with Krull.
I still have not seen the last two Hobbit films, I've only seen the first.
Reign of Fire still holds up, and it had a fairly fun video game adaptation. My only gripe is that it definitely teased a sequel that I doubt we'll ever see.
I absolutely LOVE the first Dragonheart. As for the sequels... there should have only been one Dragonheart.
The Game of Thrones stuff is awesome, and I especially loved Viserion. That may be the only time we've seen a dragon like that on screen.
Great list! Thank you for reminding me of Dragonslayer! I need to watch that again.
Might wanna hang out here.
I promise not to turn this into a Monster Hunter forum!
Ys 5? No such thing! Hoax!
Hmmm. Maybe I'll give it another go. I only got about two or three hours in before I moved onto other items in the backlog.
Origins. Bayek is easily the most relatable and grounded character, and the story does a great job of setting up the origins of the Assassins. My only gripe is that Aya really needed more development and a game of her own.
Its odd, because I played the crap out of VIII, but hardly got into Monstrum Nox and am not even sure if I'm getting Nordics when it comes out on Switch. I probably will, but I feel like the series peaked with Dana.
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas...
And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
