    Any QOTSA fans here?
     
     
     
    Their new album looks to be something special.

    There's no rule to what style of fighting the society candidates must use. Pankration could be one of many offered.

    The point is though, that someone from the SS is the most organic vessel for a new hydromancer character. Female Gill/Urien with a similar degree of nudity would be an absolute hit.

    I just got back from Indy 5.
     
    Pros:
     
    Generally good action scenes including the first 20 mins and the Morocco car  chase.
     
    Ford's performance is still on point despite his age.
     
    Nice ending scene
     
     
    Cons:
     
    The pacing is a bit slow. It could have shaved off 10-15 minutes off the runtime.
     
    Voller could have used some more development. 
     
    Like Crystal Skull, it looks too clean and modern. Also, it could have used some more scary or visceral scenes
     
    Overall: Solid film. better than Crystal Skull, but a big step down from 1-3. 
     
    7/10
     

    Raiders 9/10
    Last Crusade  8.5/10
    Temple of Doom  8/10
    Crystal  Skull 6.5/10

    Already did that one. 2 times actually. Well, three if you count the body double for the second. 
     
    Edit:
    Iro (Wind & Earth) : Armor of Gaea and Blades of Themis are the skills for the 66 Secret Arts she mastered.
    Dimitra (Earth - Iro's Body Double): Boon of Demeter is the secret art she learned, really like the back story I gave her and Iro.
    Semele (Light - Gill's Predecessor) : Given her station, she's mastered three of the 66 Secret Arts. Phalanx of Light, Redux of Fate, and Rage of Perses
     
    Hmm, maybe I should try to make them in World Tour Mode 🤔
     
    Edit: I've gotten senile. Didn't remember DImitra's secret art without checking my concept.

    A lame thing about "Max" (besides the shocking stupidity of them dropping the HBO name...one of the most recognizable brands in the past several decades of entertainment) is that they don't actually have everything that I thought they owned (perhaps these things have trademark partially or just owned by other companies?)... some things many people probably forgot like Hardcore TV, the old Real Sex series or the later Sex Bytes.... or Dream On; I haven't checked in a while but I don't recall seeing Dream On on the service.  I may still have some episodes of HCTV on old vhs tapes, so I should probably just convert those because I doubt you can get that show anywhere else now....that shit was legendary hilarious stuff imo...definitely should not just be forgotten in obscurity like that.
     
    Dream On was a great concept for a show, imo (follows the life of main character everyman "Martin"; the audience sees his thoughts and reactions to certain things in the form of quick funny clips from old black & white tv shows)... also a nice intro theme:

    Johnny's moves lack impact. It feels like a fight choreographer demonstrating to an actor how to do a fight sequence instead of an actual fight sequence.

    Because he is meaningless without Shadaloo! He is the moon, he has no light of his own, and must rely on the real STAR of Street Fighter! BEGASAMAAAAA!!!!

    More seriously though, they aren't that militarized so he doesn't have armies like Shadaloo. This game is inconsistent with canon!

    Yeah, Sub Zero and Rain both use water and they seem to differentiate this in the MK universe. here's a thought, why not have Capcom have Rain as a guest character in SF6. Story would be something like Rose or someone meets rain and they train together or something.

    It doesn't have Rain though, but "General Shao" is too specific to be a guess. 

    Note: It lists both Characters and Kameos.

    There was a leak list that specifically mentions General Shao by name as playable character. That’s probably the right one.

    Sounds like the story is gonna be all over the place again. And the 2 resets they did so far would not have resolved anything.

    I get the Bruce Lee reference there but it's a bit late for that.

    Needs to be a new character entirely at this point.

    My preference is: Gill and Urien's older sister/mother - Tethys. She doesn't exist yet, but she could!

    Option 2: C (G's second in-command)

    Do you see what I did there?

    It was Zangief's "projectiles analysis" in the SF2 Animated Movie fanbook, although its general tone was not very serious and it showed the characterisation of its time.
     

     
    18: Zangief's
    1: great projectiles analysis
    2: Watch the secrets of the projectiles I examined!
    3: New move that vanishes projectiles!
    4: Vanishing Flat!!
    5: Ryu's Hadōken
    6: A lump of natural energy. No worries about public damage.
    7: About the same of the standard body temperature.
    8: Its damage doesn't vanish immediately after hit, but it lasts in your body for a while.
    9: Air Slasher
    10: A whirlwind which cuts everything.
    11: If it hits, you hear music. I swear.
    12: Being a wind, the same of atmospheric temperature.
    13: Ken's Hadōken
    I don't know if it's because he trained less than Ryu, but it's smaller than his.
    14: Not much power, but it hurts like hell.
    15: Neither hot nor cold.
    16: The great stupid analysis of professor Zangief! ¹
    17: Can we really trust him?!
    19: Kikōken
    20: An improved version of the qìgōng² energy used to heal.
    21: It did hurt, but it healed my stiff shoulders.
    22: About the same temperature of a warm bath.
    23: Ryu's Fire Hadōken
    24: He adds his own energy to the natural one.
    25: If it hits, it feels like boiling water.
    26: Not enough to burn your clothes, but hot enough to hurt.
    27: Sonic Boom
    28: A wave attack produced by both arms going over the speed of sound!
    29: Colder than Russian winter.
    30: Feels like an impact with a wall.
    31: Yoga Fire
    32: I don't understand Yoga's secrets. Someone explain them to me!
    33: If it hits, it feels like you eat spicy curry.
    34: Seems the same temperature of boiling curry.
    35: Tiger Shot
    36: A materialisation of Sagat's evil heart.
    37: If it hits, it leaves like a fierce beast's bite. It's freezing cold, like Sagat's heart.³
    Yes, there was more in the same page about the game chronology and Ryu and Ken's friendship, but I didn't have the time and desire to translate it, too long.
    Anyway, at least there is a source for that claim. How much still reliable is all that regarding the present characterisation is up to debate, though...
     
    ¹ Although it was one of the first instances of Zangief being presented as a learned character, it wasn't treated seriously like nowadays.
    ² Remember that 気功 kikō is just the Japanese reading of the Chinese qìgōng, the same characters.
    ³ Of course Sagat is not like that anymore. Characterisation marches on!
