People don't typically do dragons well in general tbh. Even when dragons are secondary to the plot, opting for wyverns the no-armed beasts and calling them dragons. It sort of hurts me inside.

But I agree I want more genuine dragons in my media.

(Side note, I haven't read the OP as to not spoil myself so for all I know OP could be arguing the same thing so sorry for the redundant point if that's the case.)

I don't disagree with you. What I'm saying is that I prefer movies not to end on a huge cliff hanger, I feel as though we are going to see a lot of movies be cancelled in the near future due to the SAG/AFTRA strike, meaning that we are going to have a lot of very incomplete stories.

I gotcha, thanks for letting me know.

Which you'd think would be perfect as a series, give each topic and episode the room it needs to breath.

[–] Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Okay, it just feels like we've started to see a resurgence in this type of film structure because for a while we got a lot of one-offs and trilogies a format that I perfer because there's no need to watch the next movie to get closure for the last movie you watched. Now it seems that a lot of movies are adopting this big cliffhanger at the end of a story. It may not be rushed, but it's incomplete.

Of course you'd plan to structure the episodes in a way that made sense to the format.

And what evidence do you have in saying splitting a book into movies is easier than doing so into episodes? Just because there are more episodes than there are movies does not equate to difficulty. If you planned for it, it would make just as much sense as a movie.

Personally I would have been fine with reduced visuals if it meant that they give it space to breath for that worldbuilding in a series format, but to each their own I suppose.

What is it with movies releasing in two parts nowadays? Saw the same thing with Across the Spiderverse, and I guess the same thing happened to Ninja Turtles, but I haven't watched that one so I might be wrong. Fast X too from what I hear.

Maybe it's for a different talk but bad situations surrounding movies don't tend to affect my viewing of them. It's only when it comes to bad social engineering attempts like Hollywood's recent obsession with blackwashing character's who are canonically ginger that really make me think twice about watching a film.

 

Second only to the Normandy.

Hmm, don't worry I won't spoil things for you.

[–] Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but it's not just the medical system, DR is all around struggling to keep up with modern day standards. I hope that these talks result in some positive change. My mom prefers to go down there for serious medical care compared to here in the US so yeah, the sooner the better I guess.

 
 
 

Also, say hi to my OC Amelia! 😁

 

I banned someone from a community I made for breaking a rule and being excessively rude, then they DM'd me and after a report their account got banned and I think that they might've made an alternative account and have been downvoting/disliking all of my posts. What can I do to stop/fix this, is there a way for me to see activity on my community as a moderator? Sorry if this doesn't fit here, I don't really know where else to ask this question. It's a small community so any post I make will get buried when the moment I make the post it gets downvoted.

I haven't ruled out that this could just be coincidence but if I can do something about it I'd rather know.

Edit: Maybe a feature request to consider in the future is allowing the user to see activity on their posts, that way if they do notice a trend they can deal with it personally (ie block the user responsible). It's a feature available on other social platforms and seeing as Lemmy logs that stuff anyways. I dunno it just seems like a nice to have. Food for thought I guess.

 

For context, this is coming from my OC Earthborn. After her less than stellar upbringing she always wanted to live in space.

 
 
 

Edit: I guess it went through, but all I saw was an infinite loading icon the whole time.

 

I know that Connect, Sync, and Thunder all exist, but which one feels closest to Infinity for Reddit? Been using Jerboa since I switched from Reddit to Lemmy, but so far it hasn't been an amazing experience. I understand that it's still super early in development and I know that issues are inevitable but I haven't seen this question asked yet so I figured I'd ask. I used Infinity for years, it was an amazing service, too bad they aren't making the switch.
