SkruffyTalez: The NerdZone
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 11 ต.ค. 2023
Welcome to SkruffyTalez: The NerdZone! This will be my second channel since I dont want to mix too much content over on my first one. This channel will focus on Scifi, Fantasy, Movies, Tv-Shows, Games, Books, Tabletop, you name it, a bunch of Nerd stuff in other words! Being a massive fan of scifi and fantasy, not mention tabletop gaming, roleplaying and LARP, I figured having a TH-cam channel where I could talk about all of these things sounded like a good idea. Having an interest in military history and military stuff in general, I talk about that stuff over at my first channel, so if you share this interest, why not head on over there and have a look.
My thoughts on SECRET LEVEL: What a fun ride!
This show gives you everything you want and need from scifi and fantasy. Even the episodes you dont fancy are still enjoyable enough!

The 2nd BEST Fantasy-Battle in Hollywood History, EVER!
มุมมอง 219หลายเดือนก่อน
The Battle of Stirling in Braveheart has a lot of issues. A LOT. But, ignoring historical inaccuracies for a moment, if we just take a look at what is actually happening in the battle, it is in reality a very good fantasy-battle. In fact, it is the 2nd best fantasy-battle in Hollywood history.
Alien: Romulus Review
มุมมอง 274หลายเดือนก่อน
The movie is filled with excellent visuals that builds a world based on futuristic 80s technology. So much fanservice has been put into the visuals and that was so much fun to see. But the movie falls apart with the plot, some bad CGI and for trying to incorporate some of the worst plot-choices from the more recent movies.

The movies have clearly established the rules surrounding laser-weapons and shields, ignoring the dangers found in the books of nuclear detonations. So why the hell aren't lasers used in the final battle?

There are few contenders to the top spot when it comes to brilliant battle-sequences. This battle is the best out of them all... if we place it in the Fantasy category.

SHOGUN: The Most Bad-Ass Samurai in the Entire Show!
มุมมอง 2.2K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
In a brief sequence, lasting only 20 seconds, one character and his actor delivers a powerful performance of brutality and dedication that sold the entire myth surrounding the Samurai as a warrior class. And in a show with few fights, these 20 seconds had enough fight in them to carry the entire first season.

The Great Dune Battle Makes Zero Sense
Well, in the book this would be Captain Yoshinaka. He sort of is the head of Lady Mariko's bodyguards and even though he is a minor side character, we still learn that he is a great human being with a humble and understanding personality and a fearless fighter. Like in the TV series he goes out as an absolute boss showing true samurai dignity and discipline.
I was also disappointed in Alien:Romulus. For me, Alien and Aliens are the only good films. Even Ridley Scott's prequals themselves are sub-par for me and just leave more questions than answers. Alien Romulus started quite well, but quickly left you with many unanswered questions. The ending was weak with yet another DNA mix whose maturation process had been incredibly fast. I would have preferred to see the Neill Blomkamp film that was canceled by Ridley Scott. I think Blomkamp could have done better.
Sobwhats number one? Helms Deep?
Braveheart is one of those films that's a blight on historical accuracy but so much fun because it gets you jumped up on patriotism every time. Scotland!!!!!! Scotland!!!!!!!
Aliens in this movie are just guests. Why. Aliens are so inteligent that she killed 20 of them like that. Black goo is trash. Teenagers are better than marines in aliens. Ash recreation is laughable. Movie doesn't care bout the lore at all. Why in the end they gave us some ass creature, when this movie is called ALIEN. I'm shocked that they put so much effort in visuals in such a mid movie. That's over for me with movies in this franchise. Game over man.
Pretty much. The Ash cgi deepfake was just... laughable. They really need to drop this whole black ooze thing and just go back the the basics of the franchise
@@SkruffyTalez_TheNerdZone unfortunately I have bad news... This movie is a commercial succes and the producer is Ridley Scott, so we won't get what we like. That's sad, but true.

@@bryanpolska The romulus alien is completely different from the original because the people in wayland modified it.
I am not a fan of this duology one iota. As far as I'm concerned it completely disrespected the book its based on. The Baron is portraited as a fat idiot, they missed out key scenes which are there to provide important context, Princess Irulan had all her scenes cut from the first movie, Space Folding was changed completely, and the Harkonnens were comic book villains. Someone please for heaven's sake make Due with the adherence to the source material the mini-series was with the special effects from these two movies which is frankly the only thing going for them.
I love it
The battles in Dune were exactly as they should have been. The descriptions in the book of the battles, Youi know . "The Book". Dune. One of the greatest Sci-Fi books of all time, were just a paragraph or two long. Paul and the Fremen had the upper hand. That was shown in all of the adaptations of the book. Lynch's movie. Scy-fy Channel miniseries and the latest movies. When something is depicted as it was originally written. It is the "best". Not the worst. The whole subject is so off base to what Herbert wrote. The real "battles" in Dune took place in the minds and souls of his characters. Seems like a wasted effort trying to make something into something else.
@@donny1960 except for the last big battle taking place during a sandstorm to make thhe enemy couldnt use airpower or advanced weaponry... oops
@@SkruffyTalez_TheNerdZone Do not understand the "except". Again, the book sets everything up to give the Fremen the advantage. That was one of the themes of the book. The native people of Dune knew the planet best.
@@donny1960it doesnt happen in the movie! The Fremen attack without the storm and if the badguys had used one or two lasers the Fremen army would have been destroyed. The lasguns the Fremen used against the harvester, imagine if the Harkonnen used those into the mouths of the worms. The las-cutter the Sardaukar use after they killed Duncan Idaho, imagine 3 of those used against the charging Fremen army and just sweep them back and forth. The Fremen need the storm to have an advantage but in the movie they ignore the storm! 😂
@@SkruffyTalez_TheNerdZone I am confused. The storm was in all the movies. And the laser thing makes no sense.
@@donny1960 dude, the Fremen literally charge the Sardaukar without any sandstorm stopping the Harkonnen or Sardaukar from using any weapons. The worms leave the storm during the attack leaving them wide open for attacks with lasers and missiles. Add lasers snd missile barrages to the last fight... what happens to the Fremen army?
The title is hyperbole. There are far more horrible battles out there.
I was so disappointed with the second movie, and somewhat the first, it just seemed like most the film was people sitting on sandunes and talking. With some CGI here and there. Nothing amazing. Even the end fight scene was a let down just follow the book ffs
My guy... try paying attention before complaining about things that are explained...
Do Fremen use shields?
@SkruffyTalez_TheNerdZone not in the deep desert but all those Harkonnens have generators and the ornithter was running its shield
@@akshooter271 so if the Fremen have no shields... why not use lasers and missiles at them?
@SkruffyTalez_TheNerdZone firstly not having shields and not using shields are two different things. Secondly, they do use missles on them. Finally they have troops that have trained to fight people who have shields all the time, why would they give them the training neccesary to use those weapons on what they beleive is at most a few thousand almost sub humans?
@@akshooter271 what if the Sardaukar use laser on the Fremen? Would they have sliced the entire Fremen army to bits? What if thopters use missile barrages like we see them use when they blow up the mountain, but now aim it at the running Fremen army. Would the Fremen win?
Real nerd here ... And while I agree that a lot is not said in the film... You have to understand that there is a point... Realism is not the aim here... While I agree that lasers where... Abused in the first movie... In the book they where as powerful... If not more... Indeed if u recall dunkan set up traps for them... And they detonate a couple of times... This is not said in the movie... But it's implied... And it was probably in a scene that was cut... Also... From the God emperor of dune we know that lasers cannot harm warms... No matter how powerful... So... Yea again... It wasn't said... But all thing considered this battle was OK... They outflanked them... By destroying a mountain.... So it made sense that the sardukar didn't have protection from that side... The scales are... Ok in my opinion... Also in this universe a real battle between 2 army hasn't been fought in ages... So again... A mess is to be expected
Do Fremen use shields?
@@SkruffyTalez_TheNerdZone no... But in the book is clearly established that it's a crazy move to use laserguns... And the arkonnans did it once... And exploded a couple of times doing it... So it's no surprise that they are not used in battle... By any side... Again I agree that in movie it's not said... And in the books there are loopholes to be found... But that's the explanation that was given
@@gioarca6623 in every battle in these two movies we see huge missile barrages and overpowered lasers. We see nothing that suggests lasers and shields causing nuclear explosions, that is entirely your own interpritation. It is not explained at all in the movies that lasguns and shields cause nuclear explosions. Fremen dont use shields. We see that missiles and lasguns are common and extremely powerful. Yet in the final battle they ignore everything they have shown us. But had the Fremen army been present in any other battle in these movies, they would have been slaughtered.
They also never explain why u need a mentat... They are simply shown doing calculation... Again... I agree with you and I would have loved for this movie to be 80 hours long 🤣... But a bit of lineancy and artistic freedom it's in order... Also in the movie they show us explosives that slows before impact... Rendering shields useless... We see firemen using Lasguns to destroy stuff that could have been shielded... Again I don't disagree with your points... But then again... We don't see a lot of stuff... We don't see why Jessica is a menace and due to his training she will manipulate everyone to the holy war... And Paul knows how this... But all things considered...its a good movie
The biggest sin for me... It's the removal of the spacing guild part... In the book they are super central... They are the one that want Paul dead... And in the end... They are the one that coronate Paul emperor... Because the power to destroy a thing is the absolute power over it... But there are no guilds man there and it's played like a political move in the movie... Again... I understand the reason... But it's less stronger as a plot
DUNE never was about proper warfare and everything scale according to plot
Agreed, the battles all suck. The fremen hide and hand fight the harvester guards only to blow up the thing at the end. Villeneuve Spaits and Roth non-tactical silly writing. The storm in the final battle was supposed to be so severe that all thopters were grounded but book shmook.
to be honest: most battles in historical movies are BS. people in medieval or earlier times never fought battles without formations - and they held these formations, or the battle was lost. no fights one-on-one or such crap. there were no weapons with fire used in the roman battles in that centuries (later, greek fire was used against ships during the islam invasions). a cavalry force attacks through the forest? 😅🤣😂 you wouldn't need an enemy to break such an attack, becoming a bloody desaster. the forest alone would be enough to end such a brainless attempt. and where are the pila-"showers"? these throwing spears were made to slow down a "barbarian attack" - with devastating effect because of how the pilum was constructed. yes, and there is more, but to cut this: you are right. Fantasy. (sorry for my English, it's not my language)
I can't say that I disagree, now that you point it out. I mostly wonder if those silent streches in the video is your headset acting up, or if you are having a few minor strokes? ;-)
😂😂😂 a combination of poor editing skills and a crap headset 😅
Kudos to both actors. Errol Flynn kept up believably with Basil Rathbone, an accomplished fencer.
Another good one is Ty Power v Bas Rathbone in Zorro. Their fight was all done in one take.
One of my favorite movies. I have it on Blu-ray!
The final showdown in scaramouche is the finest sword fight in hollywood history sir...although errol and basil are peerless fellows of course and it is a brilliant scene.
You beat me to it. The final fight in Scaramouche is the sword fight scene by which all others are measured. It is simply spectacular. In almost all of these cinematic fights reality has left the building and Scaramouche is no different. What it is is brilliantly choreographed, uses every inch of the scenery, and tells a story through the fight.
The action is actually really good in that entire movie. Also take a look at the Gene Kelly Three Musketeers movie as well.
Taking out the scene music by Erich Wolfgang Korngold is a sin. (SIN)
TH-cam might not have let the video go up otherwise. Give him a break.
20 seconds of scene processed and turned into 5 min 20 seconds of content, I didn't that show, but you sold it
Mariko scene while trying to leave the castle. And Buntaro's fight with an entire army.
Without even watching the video, I knew exactly what you were talking about... It really was awesome.... and technically it was three seconds...
My first time placing the first like under a video
We need conflict between characters because their motivations have conflicting interests , and the motivations have a how and why and are considered throughout the whole show
I agree with you Brother! I distrusted the green lady from day one!! New here and love the channel Bro!
Watch Acolyte 1&2, 7&3, 4&5, 6&8. Help buld resentment and root form main character. Hoping season 2 has more sith back story.
My Vernestra would never do that!
Disney have no concept of the force..
This is so horrible 😢shut up already
A Sith cannot infiltrate and live among Jedi for an extended period of time. Christ, it took the greatest Sith sorcerer of the Bane lineage to spend even a day in the temple, and that was down in the archives where MAYBE three Jedi at a time, at a distance of 100 feet away +/-, stood little to no chance of detecting her. God I hate Disney.
Seeing you struggle so much, I pity you... The secret is in his name. "ki adi mundi."
Darth Venamis…reimagined as a female alien Jedi Master positioned directly inside the Jedi Order by the current Dark Lord Of The Sith Darth Tenebrous. Master Venestra much like Palpatine can suppress her dark side power around other Jedi. By the end of this series both The Stranger Qimir and Darth Venamis Venestra will be killed off forcing Lord Tenebrous to move forward with his apprentice Darth Plagueis.
Darth pickle
God, it only gets worse every episode
Venestras makeup has got to be the worst in SW history. At points you can clearly see her bald cap. I don't know why they made her bald. She should have purple hair and she looks so much better with hair.
She would look so much better if they cast an attractive actress instead of the directors wife.
We had assaj ventress as dookus apprentice. Could easily be more then 2 siths
@@NoBreakz very true. According to George Lucas, there could be many Sith masters but each could only have 1 apprentice. Thats how they ended up having a war 2000 years before A New Hope, in his own words.
It would be really really bad if the Executive Producer and creator of the show cast her bad acting wife as the "lead" role in a tv series. Very very bad. But, I think Vernesta is Qimir's original Jedi Master who accepted him as her acolyte. He failed, they got into a fight, she light saber whipped him in the back (hence his back scar) and he ended up going and being drained in the Dark Side by Witch (who gave birth to the twins) who is the TRUE Sith Lord in this show.
This is the most accurate hypothesis I’ve heard thus far
No, a black lesbian woman of color could never be a villain... Besides, she's a powerful leadah!
@@impactsuit9871the white one lmao. The black one got deleted
She is, I've been saying it since she encouraged hiding the murders from the Jedi Council.
Nope. Just a lesbian who got her role through nepotism.
DARTH KERMIT THE FROG!!!! LOL😂😂😂
Wrong! Yorg recognises him from a few days before when they met him as a potion handler.
Aaah! Yeah, I forgot he was in that scene with Sol!
Ki Adi Mundi is sociopath and has dementia - his age during The Prequels was so much above standards of his species, it suspicious... Also lives all time in the Jedi order and is a fanatic Jedi, nasty being, maybe some kind of dark side user(cause of dementia) or Sith outside of Bane line, not The Sith.
Oh you forgot to take your pills...
@@8Smoker8 No, I took many random pills. All colourfull and with beautiful pictures on them
How can you find time and space to be a Sith in the Jedi Temple and always around the jedi? Maybe she can become a Sith.
It's a small detail, but she became bald and for some unknown shift in life, she did a new tattoe. It's not meaning les. Who knows this character?
I can see her rather becoming Sith, than being already one. But.... It's a good twist and this is Disney...
I haven't watched this show, so i dont know what SmilO-Ren means.
