This Line Delivery Has Lived In My Head For 10 Years

average couple: let's go on a date

lunatic couple: let's take out a star destroyer

I would like to see them actually doing it in the next game thank you so much EA and respawn

Dominika Wilk: "Connor Kenway—a real thorn in the British side during the Revolutionary War. He defended George Washington, eliminated some of the Patriots’ greatest enemies, and helped pave the way for the birth of the United States."

Hacker: "Sounds like a hero."

Man, I still can't get over that they actually acknowledged our boy as a hero in AC Nexus. And it's just...ugh. I feel that so much. It’s wild how one line—“Sounds like a hero”— can land like a punch to the chest when you've been carrying that love for him for so long. It’s like the franchise finally saw him the way some of us always did. Not as just another assassin, not as some angry young man, but as someone who sacrificed, who stood firm even when it cost him everything.

It’s the kind of line that doesn’t just validate the character—it validates you as a fan. Like, yes, you were right to see the hero in him all along. You weren’t imagining his quiet strength or the tragedy of his journey. The series looked back and said, “Yeah. He mattered.”

Viggo Mortenson does not get enough credit for delivering lines like "not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall" with a complete sincerity and gravitas

ok im sorry but this part was so funny to me

my favorite thing about anakin as a character is the inherent nuance lucas wrote into his story, like he's neither an innocent victim nor an inherently evil monster, he's just some guy put in a series of Situations and ultimately failing the test of his humility and self-control. he was certainly flattered and shaped by the devil, spiraling into something unrecognizable, but he chose to take every step down the pathway to hell. lucas knew he would lose a certain demographic by making him basically a greedy pawn in the larger story, not a righteous betrayed macho badass, but he did it anyway. he made him an awkward romantic and a loyal friend, a generous boy and a brilliant teen. he made sure he had all the positive qualities that meant that he had potential to be so much more than vader, but it was clearly his choice to lie, murder, and fully squander that potential. there are no excuses for what he became, no acceptable reasons to commit mass slaughter. he became an unbelievably selfish and impatient man, reckless and wantonly violent. hayden captured that nuance so well, nobody can match the sweetness of his smile and the absolute horror of his scowl on mustafar. to view him through a single lens as either pure victim of manipulation and (canonically unsupported) emotional neglect, or a creepy evil villain, denies the heart of his story and the weight of his tragedy. he's neither an angel nor a demon, he's both and neither, he's deeply human, a classical tragic hero with a flaw of greed. lucas made a choice with the prequels to tell a story that not everyone wanted to hear, and the result was a character that i think is one of the best of modern pop culture, mostly because he feels to me so very, very ancient and eternal.

Please please please I know we all love Friends and Chandler was our favourite character and Matthew always put a smile on our faces and that’s all amazing but can we please please please talk about this:

“I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I'm still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me?' I will always say, 'Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can't always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one.

And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me.

When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web...

but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.

I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.”
