first meghan did 106 million with a budget of 12 million. second meghan so far is 37 million on a budget of 25 million....so significantly worse. When you throw in the classic "double the budget because of advertising" rule of thumb, it might have even lost money.

In some ways its very Terminator 2 esque. Terminator was more an action horror kind of movie with a bit more lean on the horror. Terminator 2 is much more on the action. I felt that way about Meghan 2. I actually enjoyed it as well, and I really liked Meghan's line when confronted about what...

Even a 1000 kg black hole would take 2.50375 ×10^45 years to evaporate, and considering everything that hole was sucking up that seems an easy estimate. But I recognize we are getting WAY off topic here. The start of this conversation was that the movie had a tonal disconnect when Superman...

Fair enough. You live for 1 breath...and the universe ends (or goes into heat death). So life is no longer supportable, and then you either starve to death, suffocate (most likely) or freeze slowly. whether its a billion or a googleplex of years later its still going to happen. At the end of...

Ok so a fighter is getting about 8 attacks a fighter roughly (3 rounds, 4 attacks on the first with action surge, 2 on rounds 2 and 3). So 4 extra saving throws in every fight....which is still a lot. I would also argue you said that prone characters you don't apply the effect....except in...

I think this is the crux of the matter, and it appears that my players (in two different groups no less) really look at "number of attacks" as a major signifier of a fighter's skill (and therefore power). So when they see a fighter get 3 attacks in a round, that signals to them that this guy is...

I am sure that the blackholes in the comics will likely not work the same as in real physics, but based on our understandings of time dilation time would pass for the man inside the blackhole normally. To him, he would starve at a normal rate and then die. Its just that to us it takes billions...

So funny enough, I just ran another couple of gladiators in a different game (this game was 13th level, so they were just meant to be a bit of buffer). And as soon as I did my attack, the party went "whoa that guy gets 3 attacks!!!!????" hehe I guess when its so hard to get a 3rd attack as a...

funny enough it actually doesn't. Its damage is 33....right on the bottom edge of CR 5 damage. I was surprised myself, when I saw it in a fight I thought it looked pretty rock solid...but its stats are actually on the low end of a CR 5....and that's for the 2014 in 2024 its likely even lower.

I think that comes back to the world building issue from some people. If you accept this is a 15th level "fighter lite"...ok that explains the stats. But it doesn't explain why my 7th level party just faced two 15th level characters. I mean....isn't 15th level extremely extremely rare?

yeah I see that one as more of "we don't need Hank Pym anymore" than because Michael Douglas is leaving. That said....its the same reason I can't stand remixes in my songs. Once I got the song in my head, THATs the correct version, everything else sounds wrong. People see a character on screen...

yep so he doesn't die right away....he just starves to death. so much better:)

Gunn is on record in an interview that Smallville was one of his favorite superman renditions, and he took the LuthorCorp name from that show.

I do respect the issue on this one, and while I agree that Superman never felt weak to me, and a lot of his fights was more about saving people than winning (because winning was a given)....but that said I do agree we never got the raw epicness of Superman Returns or Man of Steel. We could have...

I like a number of them. Graze that gives a little bonus damage....great. Nick that adds some oomph to TWF...fine. The tripping one that you have to make a save for after each and every attack....no thank you!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_with_post-credits_scenes With a touch of research I will agree with Morrus, it has had a long tradition.

I had an encounter last night against level 7 PCs using the dnd 2024 Gladiator. The gladiators did their job well, but I was surprised at party's reaction to them. My group understands that NPCs and PCs don't play by the same rules, but for some reason this one struck a chord with them. Though...

It was funny as I watched that scene...I kept thinking I had missed something. I was like "ok is that some special building that has important DC reference, or is there something written that I'm just not seeing". And then it turns out it was just a little joke with no real context and it felt...

I will firmly agree with this. Since this movie sets the tone of the new DCU, I would have rather they either forego end credit scenes or have made it important. Go one or the other. This was the worst of both worlds.

If your DM doesn’t run the game in a way you like, more rules won’t help you. It was the big revelation in 5e. 3e and 4e tried to fix the “bad dm problem” with lots of very codified rule sets covering as many situations as possible. But with 5e they realized that it just doesn’t work. DMs are...
