I saw Barbie and didn’t hate it, enjoyed some parts immensely, but

THE KENS HAD ARMPIT HAIR. Why Greta ??? . Literally give me 1(one) reason why the male actors weren’t required to shave their armpits. They are playing plastic DOLLS. AND they wear little shorty shorts and do humiliating things because it’s supposed to kind of reflect how men treat women . At the very very very very very least they all should have been hairless aside from their heads. And honestly I would have glued down their head hair a bit more if I were in charge of HMU but anyways

of course the Barbies didn’t have armpit hair ! but of course not - Barbies don’t have armpit hair and neither do we expect to see adult women in film with armpit hair. BUT WHY NOT TAKE IT OFF THE KEN DOLLS?????

It makes me sad that Keith only performed one song yesterday. I believe it’s the first time he’s done this in over 40 years! I really do hope that this was just a one-off for opening night and not indicative of any serious issues within the band or with himself.

I’ve watched quite a bit of the footage from yesterday and I just don’t think Keith was up to doing two solo songs by himself. He messed up the opening riff to the first song, “Start Me Up”, and through the whole concert he wasn’t playing a lot of the time/was frequently pausing and sort of wiping his eyes or staring off into the middle distance. It may be that he’s exhausted from rehearsals and needs some time to recoup before he takes on his normal load, but I kind of doubt it.

Honestly, they sound worse than when I saw them in 2021. For all the ‘new energy’ talk, Keith has never kept up well with Steve in the Stones (he plays too forcefully and too fast, for a start) and the more severe his arthritis becomes the worse that dynamic gets. I was kind of shocked at the amount of negative comments on the videos I watched. There were the typical Boomers jumping in to defend this, but most of what they could scrape together was “how dare you judge 80 year olds like this!” and the like, which didn’t seem to be convincing anyone.

I just kind of wonder, I know the fandom's perception (and in-game apparent execution) of Godrick character is that he is a pathetic nobody with no clear relation to Queen Marika or the rest of demigods that should be forgotten or made fun of.... but I think that is actually a good set-up for some DLC reveal, considering he is heavily implied to be take the throne after Godwyn and his title is actually official because Morgott. There must be a process of 'why' he became a demigod and a shardbearer, we're not told about. Well, considering that Millicent and Zoraya stories are both about forsaken children of demigods discovering their true heritage that end in a bittersweet note in them forging their own path. so I'm actually semi-expecting some twist over that, considering that he's the only guy without 'apparent' redeemable quality right now. I meant, I love the guy, and your last comic/meme is funny. I just kind of wonder what you think about him since you said it before that you actually like him too.

Hello, yes I do really like Godrick! It’s definitely sad that he’s only known for being weak and pathetic, and I think there’s way more to him than that.

I love that at the start of the game, he’s built up as this figure who’s horrifying and grotesque and looms over the story, but he’s also apparently the weakest of the demigods. Then from his boss fight and from Kenneth Haight’s dialogue, we start to piece together the picture of someone desperately trying to be seen as worthy of his forebears. He’s been called cowardly and weak for so long, and internalized this so deeply, that the only way he feels he can be strong is to steal other people’s limbs and stick them onto himself!!

I really feel like Godrick is supposed to make us scrutinize the Golden Order’s worship of strength and heroism… Godrick’s attempts to emulate his ancestor Godfrey have brought him nothing but misery (and Godfrey’s image of nobility and heroism is itself a fabrication— he’s been holding himself back from wild unrestrained bloodlust the entire time!).

With all that said… I’m not sure that a DLC reveal would really add that much to Godrick’s character, since his arc already feels complete to me? I don’t think he necessarily needs any “redeeming” qualities; he’s already extremely tragic and sympathetic. It would be nice to have some light shed on his life in Leyndell leading up to the Shattering, but I don’t foresee any huge twists that would change the way we currently see him.

Someone remind me sometime to post my essay about the way people talk about Henry VIII

I know that we’re all waiting and excited for Euron Greyjoy to serve the Eldritch apocalypse in TWOW, but frankly I’m more interested in what Jon and Bran will be up to. Bran is probably spending the majority of the book under the tutelage of Bloodraven (and potentially breaking from it). He’s probably going to unlock, or rather expand, new powers and there could be elements of greenseer magic that we probably haven’t seen yet.

Then we have Jon who, post-resurrection, will have magic crashing into him like a dump track: old god magic, R’hllor magic, and all that other weird stuff he can do. All the powers he’s been suppressing in ADWD will come spilling out and I’d imagine part of TWOW will be Jon trying to adjust to this magic as he’s going through all this rage and resentment (brought on by learning the truth of his parentage and dealing with the betrayal at castle black). I expect TWOW to have Jon in a really dark place and there’s the chance that magic will spill out as he (understandably) lashes out; whether he’s using magic knowingly or unknowingly, who knows. There’s even potential for Jon to get a magic mentor in the form of Melisandre; though it’s unclear how long Mel will hang around at the Wall because she needs to get back to Stannis so that the Shireen-bonfire can happen.

And - this is pure speculation on my part - TWOW seems to be the one book where magic is dialed up to 1000; I’m envisioning magic in this book to be a constantly pulsating element that as some point bursts into a huge explosion. With the Others coming and whatever Euron’s doing (and potentially Dany and her dragons), magic should have a heightened presence which makes me think that Jon and Bran are going to be experiencing some upscaling in terms of raw power. As magic becomes more and more prominent, Jon and Bran will do bigger more impressive things. I really cannot wait to see what they pull off in this book.
