I've been blocked by my "favourite" politician because I dared to ask, on a famous social network, why he is now supporting a highly unstable economical environment. Since I am living it in first person for now (sorry, nothing personal, really.), I thought I could say something about it. Nah. Tho, this was just an entry in the Meal of Disappointment of this morning.
I've seen a youtuber being banhammered because he was playing No Man's Sky in front of an audience. He was interacting nicely with the watchers. Such a pity. I was really interested in that game, now... a bit less. There's all that fuss about "what's at the end?" "ooooh the end, THE END! YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THERE WILL BE AT THE CENTER!" and then will turn out that it's going to be nothing special at all, that players wasted their time for a BS ending.
Yes, this is the era of the anti-spoilers. Even when they're obvious. C'mon, it was clear as the sun raising from the East that Jon Snow couldn't die. Nor Danaerys. And guess what? They'll end up together in a big battle in style Chaotic Good vs. Lawful/Chaotic Evil. I'm sorry guys, it's going to end like that... Or wouldn't have much sense anyway. Tyrion you ask? Well, he might join Podrick again and finally open a brothel or, not to be discarded, might give up his life to protect Danaerys/Jon thus restoring the good name of his family. Maybe he will leave a child behind. All the other characters can die and the story wouldn't be affected. Sorry.
Didn't we live happily knowing the outcome of the battle of Minas Tirith? Knowing that Frodo would complete his mission... with a munchy help, that we didn't probably expected (or maybe yes, since we knew that someone was following them). I didn't feared for Sam while he was walking up the stairs of the tower where Frodo was kept. That was something he HAD TO DO, for the SAKE. OF. THE. STORY. Same goes for Star Wars - what if at the end of the thrid episode Anakin would play the PLOT TWIST! and decided to go back on his steps messing up all the storyline? I bet Harrison Ford wanted to be killed in episode VII so that he didn't have anything more to do with that BS. Luke's demise is auspicable as well, even though for what we have been told about the Jedi, isn't a big deal.
Just imagine you're reading to your daughter/son the history of the Fox and the Grapes.
"...then the fox started gnawing on the vine and after a good morning of wood grinding, it was finally able to pull the vines down and eat that bloody grapes."
Nope, doesn't work.
Cinderella might be a tad harder to imagine because of the damn fairy. The evil sisters might as well cut and burn Cindy's hair, mangle her feet and beat his face to a messy gory pulp, but the fairy can fix it up with in a heartbeat so no. Well, so leat's say that Cindy is having fun for good and completely forget about the time. POOF! now he's back into the cleaning lady and everyone at the dance mocks her. She then decide that's too much to bear, and moves away to a town far away to become a professional greengrocer. No prince for you, life's shit and this story sucks like over 9000 vacuums.
And so on.
Thought of the day?
We might need to re-learn how to use internet, since the "easy platforms" have failed to provide the freedom of expression internet was capable of.
Never give up tho.
