It could've felt like the Hollywood weirdo's last desperate attempt at feeling like he can still be a kickass action star, but they were humble about it and it was for the benefit of the movie, I'd say. Ford himself claimed that this was literally the point too but you got too many terminally online people going "they made Indy old and grumpy". So many people are missing the point. Like come on, there's a 20 minute sequence with young Indy contrasted with old Indy. The movie's a box office bomb, which sucks, but there's a lot of good movies out there that didn't sell.

Interdimensional Observer Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 7 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: So when do we get Fire Emblem Arthur Mythos edition? Jugdral. Or Elibe. Or Tellius? The Arthurian name borrowings are all over the place. Though Seliph reminds of how Galahad is bland because both are flawless and their dads are better because they're strong but fatally flawed. I’d say that Fire Emblem might not be the best fit for a "Most Arthurian Arthurian Legends" game. Many stories often focus on individual knights and their personal derring-do, Fire Emblem depends on a central narrative. Instead, I’d think something along the lines of SaGa, Octopath, and Vanillaware would be more suited to telling a full story of the entire world of Camelot, if one wished to do that. To be precise, I’d structure things something like.: Prologue and Chapter 1- Young Arthur Chapter 2- Lancelot. Timeskip- The Round Table is founded, Arthur fully matures into a kind grown king, the realm is largely at peace, he needn’t go off and fight anymore himself. Plot Decentralization- The Tales of the Knights of the Round Table go off questing across the lands. Consists of several separate storylines the player can choose at their leisure, to pick a few possibilities.: Gawain Would includes appearances by his brothers Agravain, Gaheris, Gareth, and half-brother Mordred. Which Gawain would be included? Arthurian legends began with a kind Gawain, a pious paragon of knighthood. Later stories turn Gawain into a knight who neglects Christian virtue and is rather immoral. Which would this video game Gawain resemble? Galahad The Quest for the Holy Grail of Galahad, Perceval, and Bors. Tristan and Isolde Culwch and Olwen? It is Welsh instead of French or English, and one of the oldest works in the Arthurian canon. Although it might be a little redundant with the Tristan & Isolde romance, hence the "?" at the end. Alternatively for a fourth, how about Yvain/Owain? Owain is the son of Morgan Le Fay, the evil sorceress sister of King Arthur. Given we’re talking a video game, we’d want a central villain, Morgan seems appropriate, and being her son would make Owen important. We'd be End- We've taken in the happy heroism of this world, now it's time to burn it all down and feel sad that it's gone. Arthur vs. Lancelot. Arthur is playable again, perhaps we let the player decide which side they want to play on. If party-based for gameplay, the various knights from the above storylines pick sides. Mordred’s Betrayal For the finale, since this would be a video game, we'd throw in a battle with the true villain whoever they are. 3 hours ago, GuardianSing said: The whole point of the game is that you're roving around freeing spirits and you just so happen to be doing it in a train so I don't know what they were thinking The tracks are the ancient chains that bind the king of evil into place that humans later found another purpose for.

It's possible. We know there's more to the world than just Hyrule, thanks to the existence of Holodrum, Labrayna, Hytopia (yes Nintendo insists Triforce Heroes is canon) and perhaps another unknown country (Sidon's fiance in Tears of the Kingdom comes from "another Zora's Domain, i headcanon she's Labraynan but anything's possible). Did they get affected by the Great Flood too? 43 minutes ago, GuardianSing said: Well, in Breath of the Wild we do see absurdly high cliffs at the edge of the world. True. Though i know it's for gameplay reasons, Hyrule's always seemingly blocked off from the rest of the world by tall cliffs and mountain ranges. With the 2D games, it's obviously more video-gamey in structure (especially Four Swords) but tall mountain ranges surrounding it with very few openings. I suppose that's why Hyrule's never suffered external conflicts, it's hard to invade from outside. Hyrule is also almost always landlocked, which i think it's interesting. Lore-wise, i guess it means the sheer passage of time causes Hyrule's geography to shift. I know the actual answer is that it just depends on what the devs want it to be. Interestingly, Termina is a lot more "natural" in it's geography Holodrum and Labrayna are more video-gamey and thus have "the walls" but they aren't landlocked countries, unlike Hyrule, which is (Oracle takes place after Link to the Past featuring the same Link).

It sounds nice b/c the modern conflict seems utterly unresolvable, but it is simply incorrect. -My apologies for the assertiveness. -But think on the bright side, but if the conflict is truly only century old or so, maybe there is a faint hope of peaceful resolution with coexistence somewhere in the boundless darkness.😃 -As dim as that hope has gone since the 90s when it actually seemed possible. People act like the conflicts in the middle east are an unending eternal conflict, and as you point out there start is far more recent, but even their end might be closer than people act. As the Camp David Accords showed, when there is some actual effort, and political will put into facilitating peace in the middle east, you can see tangible results. Sure the conflict isn't going to go away all at once, but if world leaders actually try, I don't think its out of question for us to see the region stabilized in our lifetime.

The real twist with the dial was the nazis' plan was doomed from the start, because Archimedes designed it so that it could only lead back to him. He was trying to get people from the future to come through the time rift and help him save his people from the Romans with their superior tech. ...Which leads to the hilarious realization that a bunch of stinky neo-nazis trying to usurp Hitler became the heroes of Siracusa by accident - quite literally, at that. 3 hours ago, Eltosian Kadath said: and you don't see the same vitriol targeting that movie.
