PT RYL: OOM-9s Thread of Battle Droid Greatness - PT Social Thread (RYL Movie Night - Fri 7/26, 9 PM)

Could not be less interested. No connection to a larger story, and it tells a story that not only doesn't need to be told, it shouldn't be told. This seems like WB attempting to cash in on a character because it's popular.

Biggest understatement of the century. Their current plan amounts to throwing darts at a dartboard.

That was good enough for me during The Dark Knight era, but after what Marvel has done...I'm sorry, but DC should be shooting for nothing less than outdoing the MCU. WB's cowardice is extremely disappointing, because the stories and characters are all there to create an even more compelling universe than the MCU.

I could never have imagined 2 years ago that I'd be skipping 2019's 2 DC movies in theaters (I'll see Shazam at some point, just not going to make going to the theater for it a priority), yet because of WB's mismanagement here we are.

Sorry, I'm bummed.

 

Back from Zumba, my sisters did enjoy it, even if they're even less coordinated than I am

Added an extra level of humour than usual, I'm good enough with some of the dances now that I don't even have to watch the teacher, allowing me to see how badly my sisters do

Zumba always ends up less effective as a time for coming up with Story ideas though, I did come up with a vague concept regarding a school play, but it needs refining before I start writing in full.

@CIS Droid, how's your illness been doing, hope you're feeling well Just wondering how long you reckon you'll be reading the chapters? (though don't feel like I'm imposing anything, I can have a lax schedule for the last chapter)

Think I'll fit in some more sketching tonight, that'll be fun.

 

I went for a walk today, and havent slept half the day away, so i would say I'm doing somewhat better. The moment i dont feel depraved of energy i will read your fic.

And dont worry about it, you can ask me as many times as you want .

 

CIS, you mentioning going on a walk makes me think of a topic I wanna ask everyone:

Do you guys have places to go for walks nearby? I myself have access to open fields and hills less than 10 minutes from my door, and countless countryside walks for miles around. I'm still discovering exciting new walks after 17 years of living in Wiltshire

Do you other RYLers have such a luxury (if you even like walking)? One of my sisters friends lived in Hull, and she had literally never seen open fields before last year, had never walked through a field of sheep!

 

Lol because of Captain Marvel last month, commercials for Shazam literally say "the best superhero film since last month"

 

I usually go for walks in my surrounding area, sometimes i decide to walk a little longer. There are some football fields and similar large open areas, but its mostly walking next to houses, roads and trees.

I like walking, as long as i can listen to music while doing it.

 

I mean, technically my favourite superhero is DC (thanks Watchmen ), so DCU for the win?

 

Ooh yeah, if I'm with my family I don't take my MP3 player, but any other time I have to be out alone I have to be listening to music, makes it so much more bearable

 

I'm not sick, but seasonal allergies always mess with me, and I just literally sneezed so hard it gave me a nose bleed.

 

I have a like by me that is 2.75 miles around with hills. I walk around and sometimes jog around.

 

You live near JKF?

 

- Zack did not try to do things the Marvel way. His universe had a beginning and an end, which makes it fundamentally different from the MCU
- I would argue that most of the Marvel stories are much better than mediocre
- I am calling their abandoning of the entire shared universe cowardly, moreso than the decision to move on from Zack, which although I disagree with I can understand, but even then, it's throwing your entire plan out after 1 movie was panned by the critics, when the next one in the series without exec interference (Wonder Woman)
- I don't see how one can argue it's been mismanaged. Zack wanted individual hero movies, WB said no, we have to go right to JL. Then, they panicked and instead of delaying JL to get a good movie out, fired the director during post production. That whole scenario is almost certainly the main thing that drove Affleck to leave too. It's definitely been mismanaged on a colossal scale

 

So what was everyone's favorite class when in school?

 

Totally agree.

 

it's a lake I like a lot. I like to lick a lolloypop when walking by the lake I like. I am lucky to like such a lake. Today is brought to you by the letter L.
