Risa: Your Home Away from SpacedockI don't listen to people who swear.
It's exaggerated in the show,but there is a "UN Mom" type that works for the UN, dresses like a peacock at a fabulousness contest and swears like a docker when the microphones arent around.
I had a few Professors who were connected to the UN like this,and Francesca Albanese is another example.
You know when she swears?
“WHENEVER I GODDAMN LIKE”
I heard that in her voice :)
janeway would be swearing everytime because of her coffee addiction, if it wasnt on national networks.
She is a gawdamned treasure.
(and, yes I typed that in her voice)
My parter wasn’t that interested in Arcane but after hearing her voice, she was in.
Don’t stick your dick in it Holden, it’s fucked enough
Okay so now im interested in Arcane. Is it any good?
It's so good. Stop reading what everyone else is saying and just watch.
I knew nothing of the lore previously and had zero issue following anything.
It's great but can be hard to follow at times if you aren't familiar with the lore
Does the show not cover the lore?
It does, but it fits a lot into two seasons and would probably have benefitted from being 3.
Mostly its a lot of 'twists' in season 2 that aren't actually twists if you already knew who the characters are, but definitely would have benefitted from just a bit more time to flesh them out.
Don't let that dissuade you though, it's still by far one of my favorite shows. The characters are all really interesting and compelling and it pulls on your heartstrings in a way very few shows manage to do (imo).
So whats the source material, i assumed it was a netflix cg original. If im thinking of the right show of course. I read light novels every day so im not opposed to going for the books over a show. I actually love watching something and then reading more since i can now easily put faces to names.
It was the same with the expanse, i started book 1 after my boss recommended it to me, then a couple days later he said there was a show so i immediately switched to that and then read the series.
Arcane is based on the lore for the game League of Legends (specifically the Piltover and Zaun area).
Also, it gets you atomized into unwitting matyrdom. 🤷🏼♂️
I would sit at her feet and listen to her all day if I could. Such an amazing voice, talent, and the costuming for her in The Expanse was absolutely stunning.
I can't stand her voice, and I can't understand why she keeps getting cast.
I like the voice but I find her cadence and accent a bit off putting. It makes her hard to follow. It's like the emphasis is in the wrong place, often, but she has a smoky rasp that is great.
So I get why people like her. I also get why some don't. What I don't get is people downvoting you for having an opinion that's valid, just different to theirs.
Because unnecessarily petty in suggesting the actress shouldn't be cast. That's not having an opinion, that's just being shitty.
Well, if you don’t like someone, it is not unusual to wonder how they got cast. That would assume not realising other people like her, a lot, which they do.
Clearly because others do not share your opinion. Which is fine. If it was up to me as to what programs would get made, 95% of the dreck out there woudln't. But others like them, so they get made. :)
My dream for the Trump family:
"Good. And please let him know that, if they can't, I will rain Hellfire down on them all; I will freeze their assets, cancel their contracts, cripple their business. And I have the power to do it, because I am the fucking hero who helped save Mother Earth from the cataclysm that Jules-Pierre Mao unleashed. Tell his children the government is more powerful than any corporation, and the only reason they think it feels the other way is because we poor public servants are always looking for some fat private sector's payoff down the road. And I'm not looking. And by the time they can pull the strings to force me out, it will be too late. Their family will be ruined. Their mother, their children, their children! All of them: pariahs! outlaws! Hunted and on the run for the rest of their days, until we find them, and nail each and every last one to the wall. Make sure you tell them that."
Well pardon me, young man. Excuse the shit out of my goddamn French, but... did you just threaten me?
I’m not a prude and I curse a lot. Her cursing was too much for me and actually soiled the product. It was just annoying after a while.
i damn well kind of fucking agree, not that the motherfucking cursing itself was fucking dogshit, it just fucking felt a fucking tad fucking forced.
Best not read the books then! They toned her down for the show.
To each their own. I tend to swear about the same amount so it never really hit me. I've definitely been asked to tone it down before lol
I mean it just killed the art for me. It was obnoxious and overused. Like okay we get it, you say fuck every 2 words. So edgy.
Not edgy, fuck you. People who curse a lot exist, and are the most up front all in your face honest people. They know their own worth and are sick of fucking dumb lazy jack asses acting like they contribute a god damn thing.
Edgy.
Are you a child? I guess bad words are lil much for you. Or maybe you one of those lazy fucks who disliked being callee out on.
Edgy.
You say this like it's possible to suggest a character has a certain characteristic of speech but then not demonstrate it.
It was book accurate. It matched the art.
It was perfect and from the book. I've known a few women with mouths like that and they were some of the most honest and trustworthy people I've known.
Clearly, someone (thread OP) hasn't discovered that "vulgar" isn't anything more than a word to sell to the "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" poors in order to inspire them to behave.
I say fuck that shit. A lot. It's even healthy, for fucks' sake..✊🏼
Who is she?
shes been many other movies, in the expanses she curses alot. she often says STfu to people.
This is from the show The Expanse. I think this is around season 3. The character is a diplomat and she curses every 2 words.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shohreh_Aghdashloo
Diplomat is kind of understating it though.
::: spoiler Minor spoiler She is the scion of a political dynasty that is serving as "Under-Secretary-General" in the UN when we get to know her, so two steps away from the throne of Earth, having access to black ops and military assets, without ever having been elected. :::
Also towards your earlier point, I always took her brash attitude as intentionally annoying. Like that's the whole point of it, narratively. It's a tool she uses to unsettle others. Which is why it fits so nicely in the OP.
That’s pretty much on point according to the books. It’s her more natural speech to swear, but she does intentionally use swearing to unsettle her political opponents and try to glean some information from it.
Madam Swearsalot.
madam, STFU.
"I like big fucking butts, why the fuck would I lie about it?"
