The Good Doctor Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 I also don’t get the timelines. The original was set in 2008. This one was in 2028. Did they accidentally fuck up Earth across all dimensions and even throughout time? If so, the crew of the Shepherd might be some of the biggest screwups of the human race in movie history. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I think! Though there's alot of people saying the monster is not Clovie, but Clovie's mother, so it gets even more fucking confusing... Even if it was bad...there was something oddly endearing about it. I'll be thinking about it for ahwile, at least. Its not a good movie, but i'll say it's interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s definitely one of those that you can spend a lot of time talking and theorizing about. And I’ve always loved the mysteriousness of what’s going on in the Cloverfield movies, and it was nice that even the “Origin story” didn’t make things exactly clear. I just wish that the movie itself had been a little more consistent. And yeah, the acting wasn’t great. Nowhere even close to the last movie. But maybe that’s not fair because John Goodman. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acting was subpar, the plot a confusing mess, the atmosphere was bad. Yuck...

LOl it's caused the SJW's to scream, which is every day business. I've heard some...things about the lead dev, but I feel there's no problem with separating a creator and their work. (Like with ole Lovecraft) Worried about a few things, but I think I might buy it when it comes out. Very unique anyway, being a historical RPG (With no monsters....) but it seems there's a little euro jank... I'm buying it the day it comes out, hopefully... Been looking forward to it and following the development for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTC Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The most patriotic I ever get is when the Olympics are going on (or like the World Cup). Doesn’t matter what the sport, curling or ice dancing or speed skating or biathlon but I want nothing more than for American athletes to kick the world’s collective asses.

What a save! That's the problem with adapting Lovecraft, if it was Azathoth (or whatever), then as soon as he appeared, the entire galaxy would basically implode. It''s basically the most OP thing in existence (alot of people think the universe, and us, are just Azathoth dreaming, and as soon as he wakes up, everything ends) He's way cooler then Nyarly So instead we got a watered down version, and the Astronauts yelling at each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKillaBee Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Also I don’t agree, Nyarlathotep is pretty much the only deity recognizable as a person rather than just a monster or concept.

And they’re dressed like the villains in a skating movie which makes it worse. Also I know next to nothing about skating except I could not in a thousand years do it. One of the American men got robbed even though the Russian who beat him FELL. Flat on his fucking ass. Also, the Russians are calling themselves the Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR) after the doping thing which is ridiculous, and they got silver. We got bronze.

Beyond his air of power and superiority, that's all he is, someone who just lives for messing with other people. He has no reason too, he just does it because he can. He's a child using a magnify glass to burn ants. Just seems so...petty. I like the Daemon Sultan more because he is a personification of what the Cthulhu Mythos universe is. Just a mindless, senseless place, with no spark of light. And Azathoth is is the God of that.

Centurion Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The Olympics are good and all, but really all I care about right now is preparing for the coming dust up. Every higher up is talking about it and three whole divisions are starting a rotation cycle to SK. I might get my war after all boys. Kinda sucks that my mindset of “I’m not worried about dying as long as I take them with me” is being changed to “I need to come home no matter what” by that girl I met over hbl.

That’s cool and all but there’s not much else to talk about. I love Azathoth as a concept in the background but Nyar is in the trenches. Plus, how cool is it that he canonically can literally be any character from any universe that fits the bill?
