OPPENHEIMER (2023)

Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, Benny Safdie, Dylan Arnold, Gustaf Skarsgård, David Krumholtz, Matthew Modine, David Dastmalchian, Tom Conti, Michael Angarano, Jack Quaid, Josh Peck, Olivia Thirlby, Dane DeHaan, Danny Deferrari, Alden Ehrenreich, Jefferson Hall, Jason Clarke, James D'Arcy, Tony Goldwyn, Devon Bostick, Alex Wolff, Scott Grimes, Josh Zuckerman, Matthias Schweighöfer, Christopher Denham, David Rysdahl, Guy Burnet, Louise Lombard, Harrison Gilbertson, Emma Dumont, Trond Fausa Aurvåg, Olli Haaskivi, Gary Oldman, John Gowans, Kurt Koehler, Macon Blair, Harry Groener, Jack Cutmore-Scott, James Remar, Gregory Jbara, Tim DeKay and James Urbaniak.

Screenplay by Christopher Nolan.

Directed by Christopher Nolan.

Distributed by Universal Pictures. 180 minutes. Rated R.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was certainly one of the more complex men – with one of the more complex legacies – in modern history.

He was a scientist who believed in the sanctity of life, and yet his greatest discovery is forever linked to massive death. He was called both a war hawk and a communist, but in this film, he refers to himself as a New Deal Democrat. He created the most awesome weapon in American history (at the time), but he apparently sincerely hoped the specter of nuclear Armageddon would stop people from using it.

His invention of the atomic bomb certainly put an exclamation point on the end of World War II, and yet as Oppenheimer points out, it may not have even been necessary. Hitler was dead, Germany had fallen, and the Japanese were teetering. Chances are good they would have surrendered even without having two of their cities annihilated. (Oppenheimer actually tried to talk Harry S. Truman out of using the bomb on Japan, feeling that just the knowledge that it was there may be enough of a deterrent.) He spent much of his later life trying to protest the use of his greatest achievement.

He was a loving, doting husband and also a total womanizer. He was a good friend and at the same time he was rather self-involved. He became a scientific celebrity, but he was an intensely private man who rather hated the spotlight. He was a mostly non-political man who became entangled in several political morasses. He had passionately held beliefs, but he often was unwilling to fight the injustices going on around him, simply hoping against hope that the people on the other side would come to their senses. And he always overestimated the intrinsic good in people.

It perhaps makes a certain amount of sense that the film about Oppenheimer’s life would be helmed by Christopher Nolan, a similarly complex character. Nolan is a brilliant filmmaker (The Dark Knight, Inception, Memento), but not always all that good as a storyteller (Interstellar, Tenet, Batman Begins).

Well, with Oppenheimer, Nolan has one hell of a story to tell. It’s smart, thought-provoking, tragic, and intensely timely even decades after the action took place. And even though the film runs a little bit long (three hours!) and has occasional slow patches, it is quite probably Nolan’s best film.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize–winning 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin, Oppenheimer takes a measured, scientist’s perspective to the life and times of a flawed but basically brilliant man. From his youth in university, through the Manhattan Project and his later time as an advocate against nuclear proliferation, Oppenheimer flips back and forth through the years and history, putting a microscope on a man who probably never totally wanted the scrutiny.

Framed around an attempted political takedown of the scientist in his later years, Oppenheimer is both a courtroom drama and a truly inspired celebration of science, both its good and bad aspects.

Along those lines, know going in that Oppenheimer is not going to dumb things down for mass consumption. It is often talky and takes on complicated scientific and philosophical concepts and respects the audience enough to assume that they will be able to keep up.

Oppenheimer is a thoughtful, intelligent and gorgeously shot snapshot of our recent history. Do not be surprised to see a lot of this film on Oscar night next year.

“The pain of being alone… is not an easy one to bear.” - Jacob Moretti

For five years The Great Old Ones and The Outer Gods expanded. Demigods around the world were taken hold of, those who swore fealty to them were subjugated, and those who did not were forced to dig in.

The draconic deity and true goddess of death, Tiamat stood at the helm of the Great Old Ones; The Lord of The Deep awoke from the bottom of the sea, the tides churned with his infernal power and from across the Astral more and more of their forces gathered. The Gods that were felled were not cast into Uthenera, instead their judgement was to be scattered, the will of the Graeae but Thanatos’ hands that happily performed the task.

Pelorus with his radar ability found stragglers, humans were the easiest to track down. Renfield had interfaced with The Eye’s network, their information was at his disposal. Additionally, by putting his tentacles into the minds of the halfbloodeds that were captured, he used their powers freely. Technopathy was the least among them, but amplified to its greatest extreme and the result was the unilateral firing of every significant technological weapon at the world’s disposal. Disarmed and reduced to sticks and stones, humanity had little defence against what would come next. Micah transmuted materials constantly as the earth was blanketed in Elysian gold and Otherworldly substances, Rawlins manufactured them endlessly as Eldritch technology was constructed on the fly, Cloe embedded the endless stream of sentinels with undying fealty and allegiance as the Great Old Ones prepared to war with the Seldarine and outlying pantheons once again. Elessar the syphon, took power directly from the paragons below, slowly draining the mortal realm as he did to power the great cities of the end of the world. Ismael brought the animals of the realm under the command of the Great Old Ones, even the squirrels and especially the horses. Blair created hemokinetic weaponry from her blood and the blood of the other trapped humans, all of which wielded by the automatons of The Great Old Ones.

The fey were the first to fall, captured from the battlefield, the chancellor’s and their subjects were planted beneath the blood orchard that Zahrya was so proud of. A primitive form of ambrosia, The Despair sewed the essence of the Laurelin’s single fruit into the earth and watched as the trees began to shine with an ethereal, golden light. Laer, Zahrya, Robin, Aurora, and Davheira were taken first. Meryasek followed as his once-warder died protecting him once again. Logon, Enfenim, Arakhor, Amadeus, Aegnor, and Levent were captured within the first year. Lia and the others in the years that followed. Stitched into the soil, the blood of the fey was not as effective as the elves, but the golden trees turned silver, as Laurelin faded to Telperion.

Five years down the line, mentally broken apart by Marzia, she worked alongside The Great Old One Renfield to bring Trivia under their control while ensuring she remained fully conscious, the tentacles embedded within Trivia’s mind manipulated her body and her power to their will, a necessity given Trivia’s power but ineffectiveness as a vessel. Trivia’s capture spelled the end of Haven, the safe refuge that had been built by Keket and her small force of rebels was revealed under the weight of Trivia’s significant magic, amplifying Pelorus’ radar abilities even further.

Keket was captured by Narcissus, restrained, and bled constantly for her power by The Despair to fuel their dark magic - her undeath sustained through unnatural means. Across the realm, those who'd fallen rose again to fight for The Great Old Ones. Vivianne, a recently minted spartoi, was also captured, while formalities surrounding possession made free will a product of permitting a Great Old One to take hold, a smaller version of the device used previously to turn off the promethean flame, fabricated by the imprisoned halfbloodeds, was used to erase the former Oracle’s individuality entirely. The ideal vessel for Tiamat’s daughter, Demetria possessed the woman that was once Vivianne. Meryasek was pulled from the ground, a daemonfey chosen as a vessel, Meryasek was broken in the same way as the former Oracle, his body given to Tiamat’s son, Mordukhavar.

Echion, Udaeus, and Hyperenor were sentinels among The Great Old Ones. Narcissus was having an eternal debate with himself as Luna brought forth the absent forces from the Abyss; Harellan controlled the legions of illithids that poured in. An empire of dark allegiance, more powerful than they had ever been before. The Despair's power flooded the depths of the realm and the Otherworld as serpents rose from their graves. Blessed with good fortune by Caio, The Great Old Ones and The Outer Gods could not lose. The Bottle, a great amalgamation of horror, was a mountain of nouns: people, places and things that rolled across the realm simply consuming and adding flesh and bone to its wretched mass of nightmares. Soren the impervious and the paralytic hunted those alongside Komos, the burning star that tore across the realm incinerating cities, monuments, and anything that resembled the former, dying world.

Where Rome once stood, the palace of the dragons and The Great Old Ones rose, Forsaken Rome, towering and gleaming. Above it the flying city of True Death, at the draconic city's core above, the Goddess Tiamat reigned supreme. Demetria served faithfully at her mother’s side alongside Mordukhavar. Starved and disrespected at every turn, Pluto’s magic was restrained by manacles making him undying but mortal in every other way. He served at the feet of the great draconic deities, filing their nails, scrubbing their scales, and picking the necrotic bodies of vampires from their teeth. Tiamat let her children do whatever they wished, the punishments unending and indicative of the wrath of a Dragon Goddess. Lilith planted hopelessness in his mind, in time the original vampire gave up entirely, any fight that remained within him died.

Enraged by everything, Remus gave in to the rampant thoughts of the myriad of monsters that flowed through his veins. Every creature that came across his path only made him stronger, he’d kill everyone, and he’d destroy everything just because he wanted to. Just because of what they’d taken from him. His hide was too strong to be pierced by glass, he couldn’t be affected by anything anymore, every strength compensated for some perceived weakness. The Great Old Ones knew that he could not be killed, and wherever they sent him he could just become stronger. Using Trivia like a puppet, the original witch cast Remus into the furthest depths of the Abyss, The Void: a space of absolute nothingness outside time and space where the First Terror would tumble and fall for eternity.

Found by Pelorus in the Otherworld, the necronomicon had served its purpose and Tiamat had no desire to share in her power with the Great Old One within, betraying it entirely, she had Komos destroy it alongside Tepiltzin. Pythia was captured and brought to Forsaken Rome with the siblings that she’d helped to release from the Inferno. The archfiends were meant to be respected, feared, and revered, now instead they served at the behest of deities once more.

The begrudging generals of Tiamat’s armies: Lucifer, Beelzebub, Pythia, Sathanas, Asmodeus, and Megaera controlled the great legions of demons that patrolled Forsaken Rome and the surrounding countryside. Hunted by Harellan; Tisiphone, Viktor, Virgil, Isla, and Evan were cut down. Soren butchered Uriel, Grayson, and Harlow. Assan killed Hazal, and forced Aren to fight Octavian to the death, killed by the phoenix, Aren was denied an afterlife as his brother consumed his soul like he had Dionaeia's. Pelorus, the great hunter, was responsible for the hunt and capture of countless, among those he killed personally were Jamie, Aurea, and Aelia. Udaeus killed the dopple KJ and Yasmin, Calista, Valentina, and Remi. Narcissus talked Tripp to death while Luna killed both Adrian and Nikolai; Echion cut down Hazal and Sariel while Hyperenor killed Angel and Ariston expeditiously.

The war had broken Anders’ already fragile mind, Dante was killed, Nicolas was torn apart by infinite killer bees, and the Tana Pack had been wiped out; he lost everything. Anders lost the ability to change back into a man, Lycaon and his pack of wild dogs outlasted the rest of the world. Violent and unruly, bloodthirsty and savage. Lucas, a madman, Regina heartbroken and devastated, hateful Otsana, shattered Eric, and ruined Romeo: they’d survived the devastation of The Eye but had been broken by the war instead. Trapped in lycan form, unable to control themselves, Lycaon’s pack was a blight and a scourge. Their bite could poison and weaken even the Great Old Ones, their minds were resistant to magic and united together they were a force to be reckoned with.

Pulled from the field and brought to the Demonweb Pits, Evanuris took the Matron of all Mothers, Nyloth: this war was not the first war to be lost, and The Weaver’s displeasure in Queen Ayi’ig had been evident from the moment that The Handmaiden arrived. But there was one woman that Lloth still favoured, one among countless, a diamond amidst useless coal: Nyloth. It was within that the Matron underwent her dark sacrament, Lloth permitted the drow to feast on her flesh and join her in the Abyss. It was here that they would continue to weave and continue to plan, Lloth’s true intentions impossible to discern from only a few simple strands.

At the fall of the realm, Faerinaal had no interest in remaining for a doomed cause. Perhaps he’d arrived at the Court of Drow too late, but it didn’t matter now, the Founder slipped into the Underdark and would serve his own blade until Lloth called to him once more. An exile among the high elves, Circe had few options now, she was a friend of the fey but she would not suffer the same fate as they. There were many realms within the Otherworld and many paths, the light elf chose to take her chances and left the mortal realm behind, choosing to leave with the refugees.

So, this was the end of the world? It didn’t look like how Lucretia imagined it would, but at least before the big bombs started dropping she’d hoarded enough alcohol to sedate even a dragon for fifteen years. When she’d fallen from the tower she should have stayed dead, she didn’t though. It was there in a broken heap of mangled flesh and bones that she had come back together, Lucretia could still shift and there was a time where the aspect remained solely in the form of a dragon. These Great Old Ones were pretty fucked, she hadn’t seen any of this coming, hadn’t known that all of her friends would die and she’d be left alone here to rot. Her girlfriend was gone, wasn’t that just a bitch? If anyone was looking towards her to play the part of an unlikely hero, then they needed to look again.

It was only after Octavian had killed his one-hundredth druid that he realised there was no point in taking their souls, his power would not increase. Hundreds of traits and too many minds to put straight swam within his own but through the mania the mad phoenix knew that his power was tied indelibly to the necronomicon. He’d destroyed it and destroyed a part of himself in the process, he’d weakened it and weakened himself in the process, but it was out there somewhere. Octavian didn’t want it, he needed it, needed it to feel complete again, and needed it to settle the rampant thoughts that screamed around inside his skull.

Taken into the stars, there were countless places for Yavie and Hayliel to hide. The Blessed were almost all dead now, Lamia was dead, Somniar was dead, and Severon was turned into tree fuel. There was no reason to remain in the mortal realm… Farenduil, Meryasek and Zahrya though… And Yavie supposed Robin too, they were still in danger. Atarniel and Adatiel, Hayliel thought the two of them were okay so he didn’t want to just leave them to die. There wasn’t anything about the mortal realm that was luxurious anymore, so while the two could have drank margaritas at the end of the world, they prepared to save their friends and family instead.

Within the Otherworld, deep within the fallen Court of Drow, the mechs that had defected took to tinkering. They were resistant to magic and could compensate for any divine power thrown at them, for fourteen years they operated beneath Pelorus’ detection, and for fourteen years they grew their forces. Expanding and growing, until one day the Clockwork race of autonomous machines emerged from the Otherworld and immediately began to lay siege across the Otherworld. They built facilities that deprived the Duat from consuming the souls, organic life couldn’t be reconsecrated and as more and more were wiped out by the machines, life began to fade entirely.

Over the course of a single year the Clockwork expanded a great deal, the spellplague had no effect on them, and the machines had evolved to a point where nearly all spells were ineffective. Into the Underdark they grew, they stretched into the mortal realm by hidden ways far below the earth’s mantle. Their great mining facility within the Court of Drow had drilled down into the Paragon itself, it was there that they harvested the creature dry and slaughtered the legions of goblins within.

Organic life in the Otherworld would soon come to an end, without significant opposition, they expanded without any impediments: into what was once the Inferno, and into the empty fields of Elysium, Elysia, and even as far as Hyperborea. In time, all of Faerûn would be theirs and the World Tree would be purged of natural life, the age of the Clockwork had begun.

The Great Old Ones sealed themselves within the mortal realm, it was here that the Clockwork were constantly trying to break through, and it was here that Trivia was made to keep them out.

At the fall of Haven, a new rebellion was born amidst the survivors in the catacombs beneath Forsaken Rome. Under Titania’s leadership, she appointed Melpomene, Mars, Venus, and Juno as her generals. What fey remained were brought into the fold, though the sole survivors of the mortal realm were gathered here. Rainer, Kaan, Sanem, Eoin, Nirvaan, Gaybe, Tamlen, Emory, Nathaniel, Adatiel, Ayla, Felandaris, Ezekiel, Zagreus, Prometheus, Esme, Marisol, Andruil, Cedric, Atarniel, Rhovanor, Serissa, Gael, and Xerxes. Soul survivors that had mostly retained their mental faculties.

Sanem was the Future, a brilliant genius without any living equal. Felandaris’ mastery of shadow magic meant there was very little that the Architect could not accomplish. Tamlen, a celestial elf, was possessed with an unlimited supply of magic, though he’d learned that there were limits to what even he could do. Titania, Melpomene, Juno, Venus, and Mars were resolved to save their people no matter the cost, and as the Architect proposed an idea, they all went to work. A structure fit to hold a primordial God, a vessel powerful enough to contain him, a spell detailed and strong enough to summon him, and enough time to complete all of these things. Five years in Haven fell, and it would be another ten years beneath Forsaken Rome until the rebels’ plan could come to fruition.

Far above Pelorus was always searching, his radar ability alone was difficult to disrupt, but the rebels scavenged the realms for what they could dismantle and find. Prometheus the thief and the trickster, the vampires who lived would take what they could and return it to be repurposed. Emory and Eoin with spells to shield their presence, Marisol there to comfort those that remained at the end of the world. The last of the reapers, her fellow spirits had all either chosen to retire or were captured and forced to; Death had come but still Marisol and Adatiel remained. Kaan, powerless and mortal remained, a cynic at the end of the world.

From the presence of the illithids Rhovanor was able to shield those closest to him, make them all but invisible with his psionic magic. Nirvaan, Tamlen, Xerxes, Rainer, Ayla, Ezekiel, Atarniel, Serissa, Esme, Zagreus, Andruil, Nathaniel, Melpomene, Mars, and Titania were the last warriors at the end of the world. Nothing came without sacrifice so for years the rebels would fight and they would toil, the plan was driven from antiquity, one that had been enacted so many times before. Though, never to this degree. Felandaris’ strategy was a hail mary: Sisyphus had trapped Thanatos in his own chains, and Ulthar had once been tied up in ropes with many knots. There was one God that had been freed that was older than both of these deities combined: Time.

A vessel laid far below the city, abandoned and forgotten in the bowels of necromanteion. Cthonius’ corpse, preserved, lay waiting. Clockwork machines scratched at the boundary to the mortal realm, trying desperately to break through, and within the orchards around Forsaken Rome, the elves were begging to be freed. One final battle to distract The Great Old Ones while they worked, and through Cronus' resurrection they would either bring everyone back, or they would destroy him and the timeline completely. Three things were needed: Keket's freedom, Trivia's freedom, and Cthonius' corpse. And, at long last, the fey would be pulled from the Garden.

ooc info:

Here is a definitive list of the survivors.

Lycans listed in Lycaon's pack are still playable, but they're crazy and trapped in wolf form.

Please use the next ten days to wrap up any character deaths, and finish up any old event threads wherever possible. The world state will be permanently changed as of the 20th. Old threads are still allowed and even encouraged, just be mindful that this will all be over soon.
