There is no fucking taking place in the entirety of human or elf history. It just doesn't happen, never did, never will.

Basically the result of Morgoth going Full Metal Alchemist / Unit 731 on some elves he captured in the dark.

Uruk-Hai were Sauron's Orcs v2, and it's implied those were made via dark magic assisted cross breeding. between orcs and men...

Good thing then that these are cowboys and hobbits.

Movies released in 2015 in which Judy Greer is a divorcée to a man named Scott

It's either that Cameron seems to have been influenced strongly by Disney or the archetypes and symbolism in popular stories.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

OK, to be fair, Tramp was a dog, not a man.

Still, yeah, the plots are similar enough that James Cameron might as well have just put bookends on this about a boat and been good to go.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Tramp was a sapient dog, which I think counts

Lady asked to be painted like a French poodle?

But it's more Avatar is Dances With Wolves, or Fern Gully. The story is backwards to be Pocahontas

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I agree, but what you mean with story is backwards?

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Dances with Wolves and The Last Samurai and Avatar are white soldiers who integrate themselves into some "exotic" (that is, non European) culture and slowly adopt their ways and renounce their previous military loyalties. Then they are called upon to take up arms and coordinate tactics against their former side.

Pocahontas as told in the movie is more of a woman who learns to play peacemaker. There's not that much cultural exchange, and nobody switches sides to fight against their former team.

Pocahontas as actually happened, historically, is more the story of a native teenager kidnapped, forcibly converted to Christianity and married off to bear a child, and paraded around England as a novelty, until she died far away from her home at the age of 20, maybe 21.

I mean I'd fuck Leonardo DiCaprio and I'm not even gay.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

What's the scene on the right from?

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

That is, and I hope I’m not wrong, a scene from the movie “The Titanic”

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It can’t be. Neal Degrasse Tyson said the night sky was historically inaccurate for that period. /s

[–] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Is that like 'The Facebook'?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago

Grandpa is posting on The Lemmy.

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

'The Titanic', the movie is titled, 'Titanic'.

Titanic world

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The what? What is that, a building?

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I am not an architect. I’m sorry, I cannot give my opinion or force the structure to feel it needs to change, just to fit my narrative.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 10 months ago

Hey buddy, you sure know more about it than I do!

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 10 months ago

The Titanic ended up floating as well as a building.

Wow.

Just wow.
