Someone needs to make a Swamp Thing movie at some point. His storylines honestly have some of the greatest depth and meaningful ideas i’ve seen in depictions of how nature is written. Often admitting that plants are perhaps the most violent of the kingdoms of life, just as a slow rate we don’t perceive, but also doing more than most comic book stories at addressing the nuances of good and evil, life and death as they exist in nature.

Actually they did. Wes Craven took a shot at it. It’s more outright bad than so bad it’s good.
Really just need to see this scene;
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a stuntman more on fire. He is 1000% engulfed. I’m pretty sure they just killed a guy for that scene.

As anyone knows: Names cannot be Copyrighted…
Oh yes they can be Trademarked yet Locations are the least likely things to be Trademarked.
There is a Rivendell Retreat Center in my Province in Canada!
ArenaNet never Trademarked the name Crystal Desert so Square Enix swiped it instead of using the name Glass Desert which is the literal translation of the name of the Desert in Trials of Mana. The Jim Henson Company also swiped the Crystal Desert name for it’s locale in the Dark Crystal Age of Resistance.
Species are more likely to be Trademarked as shown by Tolkien Estate suing D&D’s creators for putting in Balrogs, Hobbits and Ents forcing them to change them to Balors, Halflings and Treants!
Ironically D&D never Trademarked it’s Species as seen by Treants, Halflings and other D&D Races in Fiction.
Characters are the most likely to get their names Trademarked.
Hasbro who is the current owner of D&D of course hesitates to use Characters they can’t Trademark so they clearly want to make sure they can keep their Characters out of Rival Company hands.

you are Canadian too Yven?
West Coaster! nice
Apparently the Blasted lands in wow is based on Sudbury.
Azeroth is basically Canada.
I was going to say that Canada does not have many jungle environs to match Azeroth, but with climate change and the melting of the glacial ice, the far north is warming up.

And if it doesn’t work, kill your franchise and make a new one where you put A in front of Elves.
Tfw Warcraft feels like it’s nearing it’s own equivalent of Games Workshop’s End Times plot.
Kul Tiras SLAPS.
I only got through Drustvar before. I actually like this new ‘play the story like it’s a narrative that has a beginning, middle and end’ thing they’re doing thing.
Granted half the fun is playing a Worgen Fury warrior with two one handed weapons mogged as claws. That alone increases your attack speed and regular speed so. Damn it was cool charging past everyone else with the Worgen Run wild ability in WSG as it seems to stack with mount speed.
And the attack speed is just;
It’s too fun.
For anyone wondering, Doness got suspended from the forums for a month, due to the drama he brought here.

They’d wanted to kill Garrosh long before he’d killed that shaman.
But yes, they were pleased to help Thrall kill him.

The Elements within Doomhammer weren’t so pleased though that’s probably due to his doubts.
The Player who clearly has less of a conscience than Thrall got the full backing of the Elements within Doomhammer though clearly not the full backing of Elementals outside of Doomhammer and 1 other Artifact(forged by the Titan Aman’Thul around a Lightning Bolt shaped by a Race of Celestial Beings which are presumably the First Ones considering the relative ease they shaped the Lightning Bolt that the Titans themselves couldn’t shape).
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Words_of_Wind_and_Earth#The_Fist_of_Ra-den
The fact that the Artifact Lore of the Fists of Ra-Den mention beings that are better than the Titans at shaping the Elements suggests that the First Ones were already a thing when the Artifact Lore for Legion was made(it was made when Afrasiabi took over the Lore writing).

I mean the Doomhammer book in-game clearly spells out that Thrall is the reason he can’t use shaman powers, not the elements. He doubted himself.

Just looked at Peter Jackson’s depiction of Barad-dûr and it resembles Castle Nathria somewhat…
Torghast and Icecrown in comparison resemble Minas Morgul.
With that in mind will Denathrius’s fortress in Nathreza resemble Barad-dûr? We just kicked him out of his Dol Guldur after all.
Will his next Body be even more Sauron-like than Zovaal?
didn’t illidan destroy nathreza
See this was what I was wondering about. He lost Doomhammer, but it chooses it’s wielder. In the comic it came from lava in the centre of the lake. In cata he lost it in the Maelstrom ye? Of did he lose it on AU Draenor?
is anyone following the drama with Ezra Miller? they have a cult and are evading police. They are grooming indigenous women and holding them in a cult apparently. All the women have Stockholm Syndrome and Ezra is evading police and taunting the law.
And they are somehow still employed.
He’s a weirdo who needs to spend the rest of his life behind bars
They remind me a bit of Crowley, who had the same kind of “new age” cult, but actually hiding sinister abuse, vibes.
The women defend Ezra by saying they are on a “healing and wellness” retreat but it sounds like they are narc who controls them to the point where they can’t shower without permission.
There are so many missing or murdered indigenous women every year I wish more people were concerned about this.

WB just cannot catch a break with their casting.
Miller got very lucky when the vid with 'em choking out somebody dropped right before a plague, so nobody had time to care. And I figure WB was also hoping these later controversies would be forgotten.
It’s honestly not the worst strategy. The world is a pretty chaotic place and if you zip it long enough a new controversy or war or disaster or massacare will come along to scoop up public attention. That’s sort of the biggest problem with our current digital media landscape. I’m reasonably confident most Americans have already forgot about the completely FUBAR exit from Afghanistan so, betting celebrity drama gets swallowed up by the great dustbin of short public attention spans isn’t the worst idea.
But this mfer is bananas. Smacking people, flinging chairs, robbing the people who bailed 'em out of prison. Now apparently there’s underaged girls in some weird compound where they refer to eachother as comrade and I certainly don’t see things getting any better.
I just find it bizarre because Miller is one month older than me. Celebrities really play on a private server as it were because if someone gave me the opportunity to earn intergenerational wealth over wearing a red jumpsuit and jogging in place I would be on my absolute best behavior. Hell I probably wouldnt even use the internet in fear of saying something stupid, much less start waving a gun around. How these people get offered so much money only to screw it up is beyond my understanding.
