@phantom42 Yeah i know but i have no other word to call him, trailer sounds better

Dr R Dizzle

8:00 AM

Anyone else noticed that the new Doctor Strange trailer showed us off a swanky new Marvel Studios logo?

I like it

@phantom42 Honestly, my curiosity was peaked just by the amount of talent signing up to this one alone.

I'm not too keen on Benedict Cumberbatch, but Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong and my main man Mads Mikkelsen is a very exciting cast.

Ankit Sharma

On the side note i miss old DC logo

new one is bit boring

Q: What Linux Distro do they use in films?

That is the question I am always thinking about when I see someone in a film working with a high-tech system ( probably a hacker ) in films. In Batman Vs. Superman : Dawn of Justice, when Bruce Wayne is browsing images ( files ) he stole from Lex Luthor Corp. with what os ( linux distro ) is he ...

Q: What are the devices that Stryker's team use

In X-Men: Apocalypse, after the X-Mansion (Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters) was incinerated by a blast and (almost) everyone was saved by Quiksilver, General Stryker arrives with his team and seizes the opportunity to capture Mystique and a few other mutants. He did so by first knocking ev...

> The season will also introduce members of the Justice Society of America.[65] The Society will consist of Vixen, Commander Steel, Obsidian, Stargirl and Dr. Mid-Nite. The season will also feature a version of the Legion of Doom, composed of Reverse Flash, Malcolm Merlyn, Damien Darhk, and Captain Cold

- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_of_Tomorrow#Development

LoT season 2 sound exciting

Anyway i have to check the trailer first

phantom42

2 dead, 14 wounded at another florida nightclub shooting. this time in fort myers.

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 WTH happen this time

phantom42

media doesnt know right now. the witness they have is "too shocked" to speak at the moment

Ankit Sharma

ohhh

US need strict rules for guns

phantom42

go to mos if you want to discuss that

Ankit Sharma

10:56 AM

That can be risky, I mostly avoid mos talk for serious discussions

phantom42

12:54 PM

is "snow" a title or label or something in Got?

or is ramsay snow actually related to jon snow

both are bastards, so is that some sort of default family name for bastards?

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 Snow and Sand are surname for bastards

every region have there bastard generic surname, North have Snow

phantom42

ah, thanks

they just recently mentioned someone was a "sand" too

but they were trying to insult her in like 17 different ways

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 Dorne's bastard surname is snow

> The stigma of illegitimacy is so great that all acknowledged bastards born to a noble in Westeros have to identify themselves through a specific surname marking them as a bastard, which varies by region:

Flowers: The Reach
Hill: The Westerlands
Pyke: Iron Islands
Rivers: The Riverlands
Sand: Dorne
Snow: The North
Stone: The Vale of Arryn
Storm: The Stormlands
Waters: The Crownlands

- gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Bastardy

I only remeber Sand and Snow from the show, rest I don't know

@phantom42 ???

phantom42

tywin meets oberyn and his girlfriend, who is a sand

they spend half the conversation throwing thinly veiled insults

from context alone, it's difficult to figure out what "sand"is supposed to be referring to as an insult

but she looks annoyed by the word

Himarm

yeah his girlfriend is a consort so she really has 0 power so they make fun of her

Ankit Sharma

1:11 PM

ohh,i hope it's clear to you now . Are you up to date with the show?

phantom42

clear, yes,thanks. we are about to start s04e06

Ankit Sharma

ohh, because that snow part got cleared more later on

KutuluMike

@AnkitSharma we have also seen Edric Storm -- he's Robert Baratheon's bastard, and the one that Melisandre killed with one of her shadow babies.

Himarm

did they kill the blacksmith kid

i cant remeber

Ankit Sharma

@KutuluMike not happened in TV show

@Himarm no, he is somewhere

Himarm

1:19 PM

she killed one of the bastards in the tv show

KutuluMike

I'm pretty sure it did... Davos sailed Melisandre through a secret entrance into the castle

Himarm

thats what she used to kill renly no?

Ankit Sharma

Q: What happened to Gendry?

In Game of Thrones we have seen Gendry the bastard of Robert Baratheon who browed away from Dragonstone, apparently never to be seen again. Where did he go? From season 3.

game-of-thrones

@KutuluMike No, in TV show tehre was only one shadow monster and that killed poor renly

KutuluMike

huh. I clearly remember it, too.

odd.

phantom42

@Himarm as of where i am now, gendry went off with the brotherhood with no banner or whatever their stupid name is

Himarm

1:22 PM

didnt she have to kill a bastard, to make the shadow baby?

KutuluMike

in the books, I think the only one we haven't seen yet is someone named Hill

Himarm

and they def sailed to the secret enterance of storms end

KutuluMike

Jon and Ramsay Snow; Obara Sand; Edric Storm; Brynden Rivers...

"Black Walder" is also Walder Rivers but I dunno if they call him that in the show

Ankit Sharma

@KutuluMike No, show doesn't even have that character, i am 100% sure

KutuluMike

yeah, they have a different Erdic, but he was stillborn.

Ankit Sharma

1:24 PM

@Himarm no, she achieved that shadow baby by sex with stannis

KutuluMike

so...

does that mean Jon Snow is actually Jon Waters?

doesn't have the same ring to it

Himarm

jon snow isnt a bastard though

phantom42

current status: sansa is in the vail, now promised to her creepy cousin. littlefinger is supposed to marry sansa's aunt "tonight". tyrion is in prison for killing joffrey. breanne/poderick are going... somewhere (they dont seem to have any idea where). arya/the hound are going to the vail. jon snow just burned down crastors keep. bran just saw jon from a distance and are still going to the tree. craster's last baby was just given blue eyes.

KutuluMike

@Himarm ... um.

Ankit Sharma

@Himarm he is bastard or you can call him orphan

KutuluMike

1:26 PM

@Himarm his mother and father weren't married?

Himarm

that doesnt matter

who your parents are is all the maters

KutuluMike

that's ... kind of the definition?

Himarm

high born and a low born gets you a bastard

phantom42

a child born out of wedlock is a bastard. it's the very definition of the word

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 ufff.....controlling myself to not give you spoilers

KutuluMike

1:26 PM

plenty of bastards had highborn mothers and fathers.

oh yeah.

Himarm

not in world

KutuluMike

SPOILER ALERT>

yes in world.

Q: Should I watch justice league TV series or movie series?

I am new to the DC Animated Universe, should I watch TV series or Movie series, or I need to watch both? As I am quite interest in DC Universe after Nolan's Batman Trilogy and Batman vs Superman but I don't have much time to watch both so which one should be my priority?

dcau justice-league dc-movies

KutuluMike

Rhaegar was married at the time, and not to Lyanna, so Jon can't be Jon Targaryen.

Himarm

i dont think we see a single highborn highborn bastard

KutuluMike

1:28 PM

maybe not in the show.

phantom42

oh, dany just took another town but decided she now has to go back to the other towns she already liberated to re-liberate them

KutuluMike

in the books, there were tons

Ankit Sharma

@KutuluMike you spoiled it for phantom42

phantom42

@Himarm i'm fairly certain it's called "every one of cersei's kids"

KutuluMike

it's a spoiler room.

oh yeah, all 3 of them are bastards.

Ankit Sharma

1:29 PM

@Himarm bastard means unacknowledged child , and jon was unacknowledged

KutuluMike

Robert just didn't know it.

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike It's a spoiler room for comic related movies and TV shows. If you want to get pedantic, Game of Thrones is neither.

phantom42

we already declared it on topic because there are GoT comics

Ankit Sharma

A Game of Thrones (comics)

A Game of Thrones is the comic book adaptation of George R. R. Martin's fantasy novel A Game of Thrones, the first in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. == Production == The comic book series was scripted by fantasy author Daniel Abraham and drawn by Tommy Patterson. It is intended to follow the story and atmosphere of the novel closely, at a rate of about a page of art for each page of text, and was projected to cover 24 issues of 29 pages each. George R.R. Martin advised Daniel Abraham on aspects of the adaptation. In an Ignite presentation of the series' development process, Abraham said that...

phantom42

and because we don't realy care

Dr R Dizzle

1:30 PM

@phantom42 Did they come out before or after the show?

Himarm

game of thrones has comics

Dr R Dizzle

They came out after.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle doesn't matter, comics is comics

Dr R Dizzle

So if anything has ever had a comic, it's on topic here?

Himarm

pretty much

Dr R Dizzle

1:31 PM

Note: I'm just being pedantic. I don't actually care.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle Don't ask me , i was even fine with talking about anything here

phantom42

keen was the only one that ever really tried to keep us squarely on topic 100% of the time

Dr R Dizzle

Can I just point out while everyone is here - Ankit doesn't like the look of Justice League, while I do.

It's a momentous occasion.

phantom42

i dont like the flash's outfit

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 so we are untamed wild creatures now O.o

phantom42

1:32 PM

or cyborg

Himarm

i think its going to be Meh at best

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle what, lie lie lie

I neevr said i dislike it

phantom42

@AnkitSharma we'll probably try to keep from going completely off the rails, but non contentious discussions (i.e. no politics or gun control) are fine for the foreseeable future

mike and i talk about local stuff

KutuluMike

WAIT

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 Yeah, Cybord looks pretty bad, but that's still all pre-release CGI.

KutuluMike

1:34 PM

I got it.

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma I'm sure I read something like that.

KutuluMike

in the show: did they ever suggest that Jon Snow's mother might be Ashara Dayne

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike Who?

KutuluMike

in the books that's who Cat thinks the mom is.

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 I want gun control but I am not going to discuss it anywhere in SFF, movies.se maybe

Himarm

1:35 PM

i dont think they ever mentioned her in the show

KutuluMike

I got the impression that's who most people thought the mom was. except Robert, who thought it was some barmaid

Dr R Dizzle

I don't recall that character ever being mentioned in the show.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle I said i liekd wonder woman trailer more

JL is too incomplete to judge fro now

Himarm

robert mentioned the barmaid

in the show i believe

Ankit Sharma

@KutuluMike I think, yes. He mentioned her name to robert

KutuluMike

1:38 PM

because if people thought she was Jon's mother... she was highborn.

Ankit Sharma

Anyway i want lady stoneheart but not that dumb coldhandish kind of version but the hard core one

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma Maybe I'm getting confused.

Himarm

barriston think deanerys could be asharas daughter though

Ankit Sharma

yesterday, by Ankit Sharma

Wonder woman trailer seems exciting

yesterday, by Ankit Sharma

JL seems okaish at best

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma That's the one! I knew I'd read something!

Ankit Sharma

1:41 PM

okasih!= bad

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma doesn't like != bad either.

Ankit Sharma

And the footage need too much work, specially cyborg and i do prefer Tv costume of flash more

Dr R Dizzle

Not liking something and disliking something are two different things.

I was saying that I like the Justice League trailer. You don't like. That doesn't mean you dislike it.

Ankit Sharma

Anyway i have to see so many trailers tonight

@DrRDizzle "You don't like", no i said they are okaish specially in compare to WW

Himarm

okaish to me means he has a possitive view for it, if small

2

Ankit Sharma

1:44 PM

Anyway even after Dr Strange new trailer, i am still not invested to check it in theaters yet

KutuluMike

there. himarm is famous.

Q: Are there any noble-born bastards in the Game of Thrones TV show?

In A Song of Fire and Ice and Game of Thrones, children born to a noble parent, but out of wedlock, are given special "bastard" surnames. They are openly acknowledged as the children of a noble, and it's generally expected for their noble parent to take care of them in some way, but they have non...

game-of-thrones

Himarm

i already googled it, there was a targaryan targaryan bastard

KutuluMike

right, but on-screen?

in the novels there were dozens of those.

in the novels your statement that Jon isn't a bastard is utter bollocks.

but I dunno about the TV show

Ankit Sharma

he is bastard , enough said

except if Rob legitimized him

@Himarm yup

@phantom42 Why don't you make one pinned message for all trailers ??? Walking dead trailer not available in my country and daredevil trailer also available in YouTube too

phantom42

@AnkitSharma because there were too many trailers to fit in one message

Dr R Dizzle

1:58 PM

@AnkitSharma If I like something, that is a positive statement. If I dislike something, that's a negative statement. If I don't like something, that is a neutral statement. To me, OK-ish is a neutral statement, so the same as not liking something, which is different to disliking something. Does that make sense to anyone other than me?

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 ohhh, didn't noticed that

phantom42

the rendered messages are fairly short, but the html links behind them are long

even using the short links

if dizzle says anything, it's negative

3

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle okaish is more then neutral to me but not good

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 Can you not use a line break to remove that messages character limit?

@phantom42 Positive.

phantom42

@DrRDizzle worth a shot if you want to try

Dr R Dizzle

2:00 PM

Test; This is a link to Google

It looks like line breaks stop link formatting from working.

Ah well.

phantom42

are you using html line break tags, or just soft line breaks?

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 I hold shift and press enter.

phantom42

try using html break tags

or

don't think it'll work

Dr R Dizzle

I don't think this accepts HTML.

Hi there, but in bold

<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>

phantom42

bastards...

Dr R Dizzle

2:03 PM

Nope.

You could just pin a message saying "Click here for SDCC trailers", and then post them all afterwards?

phantom42

what

post them where

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 Nevermind, clicking the pinned message doesn't take you to its chat history.

phantom42

i mean, i can just throw a post on my webserver with all of them embedded and link to that if you'd really rather. i thought it'd be more useful being able to identify which trailers are there though

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 No, you're right.

phantom42

and it's a pain because of the limited time you can edit the post

Himarm

2:08 PM

vulture.com/2016/07/…

this has most of the videos

phantom42

there's a gotham one too i didnt post

and preacher

posted legion, but didnt pin it yet.

if anyone wants to do those three

Ankit Sharma

3:59 PM

WTH, why there are two Jafars in OUAT??

And why ragina evil again :/

phantom42

when was there a jafar before

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 OUAT in wonderland

Himarm

yeah wasnt the guy in wonderland jaffar

Ankit Sharma

phantom42

that's not jafar. that's sayid.

in seriousness, do we know that they're not the same?

KutuluMike

4:02 PM

onceuponatimeabc.wikia.com/wiki/Jafar

phantom42

and that it's not just a casting change

Himarm

the serpent staff is what got me

KutuluMike

I assumed it was a casting change.

Ankit Sharma

But why dumb ragina bad again, didn't we got bored of this bad turn good turn bad

phantom42

i'm blanking right now, but i feel like we already had a casting change from an earlier season to more recent

Ankit Sharma

4:04 PM

Anyway i skipped last half season but i think i have right to judge it

phantom42

because OUaT needs a villain that isn't crap and thus far, regina is one of the few that fits that

i mean her motivation is garbage, but at least you dont want to throw something at the tv every time she was on the screen

Ankit Sharma

I liked rupeldkilskin too but he got bleh

Himarm

the shows hitting that, were 100 seasons in now what

Ankit Sharma

and his motives were good too

KutuluMike

yeah. don't complain or we might get Dark Peter Pan or some crap

Ankit Sharma

4:06 PM

Dark peter pan was good and refreshing

Himarm

dark peter pan made me quit the show

KutuluMike

now that he's finished being utterly terrible on Heroes Reborn that kid's looking for work

Ankit Sharma

not like that dumb sword in the stone crap

phantom42

dark peter pan was never good

KutuluMike

Dark Peter Pan was the worst thing to ever appear on TV

that guy couldn't deliver a convincing line with a UPS truck

Ankit Sharma

4:07 PM

Dark peter pan >>>>> Arthur the crap

KutuluMike

no.

Arthur sucked.

phantom42

@AnkitSharma this is just factually wrong.

KutuluMike

but nowhere near as bad as the entire Peter Pan story

you could roll up all of the terrible villains of the entire series and distill out their terribleness and Peter Pan would be worse

Ankit Sharma

I quit the show because of Arthur, everyone is dark one and we don't have story anymore

KutuluMike

I'd rather watch King Arthur and Ursula plot with the Author to help Cruella take over Storybrooke than see Peter Pan again

Ankit Sharma

4:10 PM

But i am happy for my decision after watching both new trailers , new jaffar is terrible and i don't want to see same good is bad bad is good ragina

KutuluMike

Regina's not as bad as Rumple

Ankit Sharma

I don't like the idea of having two Ursula and now 2 jaffar or casting change whatever

KutuluMike

"I'm evil but I'm being good for Belle except I'm being evil anyway except now I'm really being good for Belle except I'm secrelty being evil except now I'm being good for Belle..."

Ankit Sharma

@KutuluMike Rumple was once good and there is no problem with actor but writers are retards

Belle ruined rumple or rumple ruined the show

phantom42

the problem is less that rumple keeps switching and more that the fact that anyone in-universe is ever surprised that he keeps switching

Ankit Sharma

4:15 PM

Show theme : "Bad people don't get happy ending but good people never even get any ending at all"

phantom42

arthur's involvement was like 4 episodes. almost seems silly that that was the straw that broke the camel's back to quit watching

he was a maguffin

Ankit Sharma

Did you forgto Gotham trailer or skipped it intentionally

and there is Lucifer trailer too

or they came later on :/

phantom42

just didnt get around to them.

go ahead if you want

or i'll do it later

missing gotham, lucifer, legion, preacher

the stupid comments on my nurse joy/officer jenny question is making me regret asking it

Skooba

4:38 PM

@KutuluMike you know there is a GoT room right? I finally got around reading the transcription in here of what inspired your question. If it had taken place over in the GoT there may have been less confusion. I have just realized you may discussed my whole answer already lol

phantom42

@Skooba we were talking about GoT here because we felt like talking about it.

Skooba

@phantom42 i know, thats okay, im just jelly i missed out on it because i dont come in this room

<<< jelly monster

KutuluMike

@Skooba that's fine, most people reading the question wouldn't have read the transcript.

if it wasn't clear from the question what we'd already covered then the question needs fixing

Skooba

@KutuluMike I think you made it clear now, I like the question and FWIW @Himarm is wrong :P

KutuluMike

well that we knew

Himarm

GoT have comics, so it's on topic here

Jack B Nimble

...

comic related movies and tv shows I'm not sure that something for which the comics isn't in some way the source material should count.

Himarm

post comics?

Jack B Nimble

That's like saying because they made a graphic novel for the Thrawn trilogy long after the fact that it magically becomes on topic in this room.

phantom42

sure it does

because no one cares

Jack B Nimble

oh

Ankit Sharma

5:06 PM

@JackBNimble Is it not whole SFF on topic work like this

Jack B Nimble

You people are crazy. Like Crazy Eddie.

Ankit Sharma

Being crazy is fun

and less boring

This is the on-topic room everyone made a big deal of a while ago but no one wanted.

occasionally we do steer things back to comics.

Just watched the first episode of Supergirl.

user116211

Well, it was okay but not satisfactory, I would say, as I expected.

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 I heard that Vulture costume is made of chitauri tech, so not falcon

user116211

Okay, Gotham is much better than Supergirl T__T

user116211

Throughout the whole episode, they addressed Superman as he, him etcetera ;)

Ankit Sharma

@MAFIA36790 Hey, i am trying to watch supergil for preparation for next CW DC seasons

@MAFIA36790 They fully avoided it in seaosn 1 and now they cast a actor fro second season

user116211

6:03 PM

@AnkitSharma yep, it premiered in Zee Cafe today; but you are not on TV, I know ;P

user116211

@AnkitSharma yup.

Ankit Sharma

@MAFIA36790 watched the leaked pilot long long ago , then left it

but also seen flash crossover episode

user116211

@AnkitSharma Just watched it for the sake of Arrowverse.

user116211

Gotham is much more interesting and darker too.

user116211

BTW, Cisco is the richest guy in Central city ;P

Ankit Sharma

6:06 PM

@MAFIA36790 Gotham is a seesaw ride for me

@MAFIA36790 sound fun

user116211

Doctor Alchemy would be the star villain.

user116211

@AnkitSharma Don't know about s1; but s2 was really intriguing and dark.

phantom42

how does this answer the question?

1

A: Why do all the Joys and Jennys look the same?

Jenny In-universe, all of the Officer Jenny's are in fact cousins. They merely happen to all look like each other, dress identically and work in the same profession. Ash: Officer Jenny! Jenny: Huh? Have we met before? Your face doesn't look familiar. Ash: We met you back in Viridia...

"why do they all look alike" "they merely all look alike"

user116211

And Kid Flash would be debuting this season.

user116211

I was expecting of Mirror Master too ;\

user116211

6:08 PM

I would miss Teddy Sears too :(

Ankit Sharma

@MAFIA36790 Maybe he will return

timeline fucked up so he can

user116211

@AnkitSharma fingers crossed

lets see

Serious question for anyone who can be bothered to answer - how important do you feel a short plot synopsis is to a written a review?

how short? i dont want to know what happens.

Dr R Dizzle

Like, I usually write a short (couple of sentences) description of the basic set up for the movie

phantom42

i'm fine with something explaining the premise of the movie. i dont want a recap of the movie.

give me the elevator pitch

used to sell the movie
