He made a video about the Mig Switch and now Nintendo has its lawyers watching his channel like a hawk

With two strikes they could totally nuke the channel at any moment by copyright claiming any Nintendo footage or imagery he’s shown in any video he’s ever made

This implies the CIA disinfo was some kind of oopsie

The reason they’re turning random footnotes into movies or making up their own OCs like in the Amazon show is because they only have the LOTR trilogy and its appendices to work off of. The Tolkien estate made sure to keep the rights to Silmarillion, etc off limits

To be fair, the Amazon show is an entirely separate adaptation and has no relation to the Jacksonverse.

I would assume Warner Brothers would fuck him up in a different way. Judging from the quality of the writing in the Hobbit trilogy I would assume they’d turn Tom Bombadil into a stoner stereotype who also farts constantly or something

I love Ian McKellen as Gandalf but he was already noticeably older in the Hobbit movies. I can’t even imagine how distracting it would be in this train wreck since he’d be about as ancient as Christopher Lee was in his Hobbit cameo

This takes place during the 17-year time skip between Bilbo’s birthday party and when Frodo returns home to discover an agitated Gandalf in his home asking if the Ring’s safe. What, you didn’t think it felt like Gandalf going to read that diary in Gondor took 17 years??? Yeah, the movies kinda streamlined and simplified that part.

It’s wild they’re retroactively adding shit they just completely excised from the original film adaptations. What’s next, a side movie about the Hobbits encountering the barrow wights and Tom Bombadil before they reach Bree? A movie about the Scouring of the Shire?

Isn’t she a cop that works for Interpol or something

You only had to do that once? In the initial phase I just couldn’t get rid of the pop-ups for longer than one session

They also prohibited a demonstration by the progressive Jewish group Jüdische Stimme.

Explaining their reasoning on the Jüdische Stimme protest, the police told The New York Times that the demonstration was “explicitly open to participants of Palestinian origin,” and said organizers coordinated with protesters whose demonstrations were banned over concerns about antisemitic incitement.

Are these newer movies really that much worse in general or has the audience just finally gotten tired of the entire MCU? I saw every single one up until the second Spider-Man flick and many of them were just sort of lame. Movies like Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Black Panther and the Ant-Man movies which all released in the MCU’s most dominant period leading up to and in between the Thanos movies were pretty bad and they still made a lot of bank.

I watched all those mid movies because I was invested in the shared continuity and wanted to see the different branches of the universe collide with each other. When they finally did, that investment just kind of dissipated, but I think the final nail in the coffin for me was when they announced the Disney+ Marvel shows at which point it just became too much of a time commitment to keep up with.

Let’s not forget the MO Discs from Resident Evil and MGS

I keep expecting blurry images of protestors or human shaped blobs huddling behind cover with some kind of crosshair over them

I had it pretty bad for several days, having to purge the cache several times but I saw no pop-ups yesterday or the day before that. Hoping that’s still the case today

In Europe it’s the Autumn of Capitalism

Oh, definitely but it’s shockingly bad when using YT without logging in

Yeah, as good as Youtube’s algorithms are at pushing hardcore right-wing content on completely fresh accounts in like 3 clicks, my accounts have been around for so long that my recommends tend to be on the money most of the time.

I discover multiple new channels each month from my recommends whereas 10 years ago I’d occasionally check a channel that a friend recommended or was embedded on a forum post

They’re just being dicks considering how tiny the Firefox userbase is

I fully expect to have to be fingeprinted, DNA tested and retinal scanned to access cOnTenT in a year or two

These guys sound awful but if they gotta harrass somebody I at least hope it’s Evangelical tourists

Not sure how things are in Austria but where I live fast food is really expensive for someone strapped for cash
