One of many problems. I’m optimistic next film or tv show for the property will be a marked improvement though.
I get where you are coming from and mostly agree the bitch comment initially threw me but bugged me much less on repeated viewings. I’m optimistic the next movie can be even better. Like you I hope it can distance itself a bit from Prometheus/Covenant, but that will be hard of Scott remains a producer.
I haven’t read anything of his but he apparently has been hailed for previous works and will also be taking over Green Lantern soon.
Who else has seen the movie? What did you think? I saw it once in the theater and look forward to seeing it again on streaming. I would say it was the best movie since Alien 3 for me. I enjoyed the android character immensely and thought that actor had a great performance. Overall, I thought it was very good, probably a B or B+ from me.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but am curious if others have. If so, care to share your impressions?

IN BUDDHISM, it is said that love and compassion are made out of one substance, which is called "understanding." If you understand, you can love. But if understanding is not there, it is impossible for you to accept and love someone. Why did he act that way? Why did he say those things? You should look deeply into these questions, and then you will see the causes of what you are dealing with.
With this understanding, you stop blaming and criticizing. Your compassion is born of your understanding of the situation.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 is right around the corner. IGN had the opportunity to head to the show's set and brought back all the secrets Middle-earth had to offer.

Training for Happiness
LITTLE BY LITTLE you must train yourself for life, for happiness. You probably received a college degree that you spent years working for, and you thought that happiness would be possible after you got it. But that was not true, because after getting the degree and finding a job, you continued to suffer. You have to realize that happiness is not something you find at the end of the road. You have to understand that it is here, now.

Translation
Place the word Tao
Into your heart.
Use no other words.
Why do so many people seek foreign religions? Why are so many of our philosophies translations from other languages?
Surely we are all human beings, with hearts and minds, two hands and two legs. Each of us needs spirituality, but why must we always look abroad?
People who investigate Tao ask whether they have to be Chinese to benefit from it. It is true that part of the study of Tao is strictly Chinese. It is also true that this Taoism has never been exported unlike Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Chris-tianity, or Judaism—and has never been preached beyond the Five Sacred Mountains of China. It is elitist, to protect itself from coarse unbelievers. But this Taoism is not the Tao you need.
The true Tao is of no nationality, no religion. It is far beyond the conceptions of even the most brilliant human being, so it cannot be the property of one race or culture. The need to understand Tao is universal; people just give it different names in their native languages. Tao is the very essence of life itself, so those who are alive always have the possibility of knowing Tao. It is meant to be found in the here and now, and it is within the grasp of any sincere seeker.
I’m sure he would have been good but I appreciate him opting out for artistic reasons if that is what happened.
Those who are interested in the show may want to consider tracking down the David Mack comic run where the character made its debut. It has great art and character-driven writing, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/139996.Daredevil_Vol_8.
I think the article’s connection to some of the aspects of the source material is relevant as well. As long as the conversation stays civil, I don’t see a problem with its inclusion in this community.
Thanks for sharing the link! Pictures are one thing, a good script and acting are another. We’ll see. Visually, the roles appear to be well cast. However, I’m still more excited about the coming sequel cartoon movie helmed by the original creators than the Netflix series. I’ll happily watch the latter though if reviews are positive. Still somewhat skeptical since the OG creators left the show.
I was in the 90s and am again with the Taylor & Redondo run. I plan on picking that Dan Mora cover up. FYI if you weren't already aware of it, !nightwing@lemmy.world.
