Watch out! 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

As a prize, you get to pick any three users on the forum to ban. 😬

.....what?

Look, I’ve played through it, finished it, and honestly, I was pretty fed up with FF VII, so I guess that explains why I still think the movie is bad. *shrugs* Whether it’s Fanservice or not, I feel like modern movies have just raised the bar so high that the plot feels underwhelming by comparison.

Anyways, I have some thoughts on those Fanservice-heavy projects too, but let's not get sidetracked...

Cheers to Sweetie... long time indeed. 😉

A film featuring Gary Oldman as a villain obsessed with destroying the world and Ian Holm playing a saintly priest trying to save it just can't be bad. I mean, come on. 🙏

Man, if only I could be like one of those two back in the day... though maybe... 🤔 (Gary Oldman....girls totally dig Gary Oldman 😁)

urbannomad30 said:Are you fighting against Bahamut in VII too?! I seem to remember there being some seriously cool animations—maybe at the start of the third disc?—with Bahamut and that white one. 😬 Alexander. Well, you probably know better than I do. 😁

Yeah, that animation actually exists—you know, the one where Alexander steps up to defend the city from Bahamut's attack. Honestly, I think it might be one of the best animations ever made.

I mean, I was actually talking about a legitimate showdown between the party and Bahamut, like an actual boss fight or something similar. As far as I can remember, that just didn't happen.

urbannomad30 said:Honestly, I don't care what anyone says, I just can't stand that fight. It’s stupid. Period. Here are my arguments:

Just like the rest of the movie... *shrugs*

urbannomad30 said:Anyway, let's just get off topic for a second...

It’s honestly just stupidity... we were sitting around debating whether that fight scene against Bahamut was even justified, considering he wasn't even in the sequel to the game the movie was based on. To make matters worse, we kept getting sidetracked comparing it to all the other sequels in the series. 😁

I have a feeling that nobody even reads this thread. 🙂

He shows up in almost every single entry, unless my memory is failing me and he was actually in the second one. (Actually, if I recall correctly, there isn't a single summon monster in the second installment 🤔). In most of the sequels, he's one of the bosses, except for that specific VII where he's strictly a summon, just like in IX, and in the first one where he's just an NPC.

Anyways, in the world of FF VII Bahamut, he exists as a summon, so it’s perfectly reasonable that someone would be able to call him forth. Even if we didn't see the actual fight happen in the game, it's still possible because anyone holding the Bahamut materia can summon him. 😉 And since the movie takes place after the events of the game...

But honestly, why even stress about it when THAT ISN'T Bahamut! 😬

Grace Foster said:Well.. if the actual developers are saying it's Bahamut, you kind of have to admit that..

NEVER! 😈

Because what's next? A Leviathan that looks like some weird hybrid between an earthworm and a butterfly? Or even worse... a mermaid wearing clothes. 😲

Grace Foster said:There were several.. uh.. how many was it... Bahamut, Neo and Zero... just pick one.

He was probably talking about the fight with Bahamut itself. In VII, you don't actually fight him at all.

Even though that's beside the point... the movie is a completely different storyline that picks up after the game, it isn't just a carbon copy of it.

urbannomad30 said:I wasn't really feeling it when they started fighting that summon monster thing... Bahamut, I think?

Alright... let's just clear one thing up right now. THAT IS NOT BAHAMUT! No, it seriously can't be. That thing looked more like some weird mashup of a T-Rex and those dinosaurs from Power Rangers, just with wings slapped on.

I honestly have no idea who thought it was a good idea to take one of the coolest summons in FF history—the King Dragon himself, Bahamut—and turn him into that total joke. 🤮

But I’m sticking to my guns: that isn't Bahamut... IT CAN'T BE! 😠

urbannomad30 said:I know he showed up in the original eight, but I can't remember him being anywhere else..

I mean, you clearly haven't played it. 😬

I actually checked this out about a year ago, but I didn't feel like posting anything back then because the movie was such a massive letdown 👎, and honestly, I consider myself a hardcore nerd when it comes to this series. 😬

I haven't tossed it in the trash yet, but it’s just sitting on a DVD alongside my Dragon Ball Z collection to fill up space, which pretty much tells you exactly where this flick sits on my ranking scale.

Square just swings wildly from one extreme to the other. 🙂

Their goalie absolutely screwed us over. 🙂

But whatever... maybe the guys can still pull off a bronze medal. 👋

Holy crap... we absolutely tore their goalie apart. 😠

I mean, we’re definitely winning this thing, but I guess the real question is how much of my sanity I'll have left by the end of it. 😬

Today’s going to be Trump Day... just you wait and see.

The Frogmen are getting absolutely hammered today—at least 12 goals, minimum. 🙂

Paul Lopez49 said:I still remember that generation that brought home the gold. Man, those players were something else—I’d even go as far as saying they were better than what we’ve got today.

I don't know about that... I mean, handball was just different back then. IMHO

Mr.Ex.President said:I think he meant at 14 minutes🙂

Anyway, Linus was just on TV, and he’s basically saying they need to focus entirely on defense because everything else is a mess right now. He thinks if we try to win by playing aggressively on offense, we're just going to blow it...

I guess I agree.👍
Against teams like Iceland or the Norwegians (not to mention how rough things were against Yugoslavia), relying on pure offense has always been a losing game. It's time to dig in and defend.👍

And honestly, the guy looked like a total psycho while saying it. 😂

Yeah, but I have this gut feeling that they were just "saving" their defensive intensity for the semifinals. Tomorrow, I bet they come out swinging with a defensive setup so tight that we'll hit that crazy stretch where nobody on the planet can score for ten straight minutes. 🙂

As for the offense, I'm sure Linus has some wild plays cooked up that nobody has ever seen before in their lives.

Tomorrow is going to be ABSOLUTE CHAOS! 😈, just you wait. 👋

crotomy> unlike previous games where Lac was forcing it because he couldn't handle it, this time he actually added some Sprem and made things easier for all of us.

If you somehow read that as sperm…😂

frozentiger6> At the same time, Spoljaric is only getting about a minute and a half of playing time in the game against Iceland. I don't get Cervar; his best defender isn't even playing two minutes in a crucial match.

Is it possible they're just saving Spoljaric for the semifinals, along with some of the defense??? 😕

I honestly have no idea why he's playing so little... unless maybe he's injured or something went sideways with Lina. 🤔

frozentiger6> Now there's going to be a porn movie made in Switzerland.

😂

Nice one! 🙏

crotomy> but it's the same thing as when he really couldn't do it anymore, then he added the sperm.

Ijopet…🤣

Anyway... when exactly is that game tomorrow? I remember seeing earlier today that it was at 5, but now everyone is saying 2, and so on. To be honest, 2 works better for me—right after skiing 😈—and I can celebrate that win over the Frenchmen for longer that day. 👋

BTW, I think the Danes are headed to the Final.

Charles Young11> That’s actually what scares me the most, even if the refs are under a microscope during the playoffs and the finals, so the officiating should be fair.

You really think it was "fair" during the last EuroBasket, specifically in the semifinals and the bronze medal game? 🙄 Honestly, I hope it's "unfair" this time, at least then we'll know exactly where we stand. 😬

@Gerald Perez70<=

WTF??? 😕

frozentiger6> It doesn't matter if the game was rigged; we can beat them easily enough whenever the US National Team actually plays at full strength.
<cut>

👍

I mean, obviously. Why on earth would anyone want to stir up drama and tension over a single match like this? The Mexicans weren't going any further anyway, and our guys are clearly the better squad—the final score pretty much proved that.

The real issue here is the absolute idiots in the comments who seem to be praying for chaos, both on the field and off….🙄…honestly, grow up. 😉

Drive99> isn't even that bad, Losert isn't much better

Man, hell no. At least Losert actually has some experience under his belt. Just because he struggled with defense in the opening group doesn't mean he wouldn't pull it together later. I'd bet money he would've saved at least five of those shots aimed at Blažićka. He's a hole... a total disaster.

And this Blažićko? He wouldn't have made a single save if the tournament lasted another month. 🙄

BRING BACK BASIĆ!!! 😬

Serse_Cosmi > explain this expression to me

Ah... well, that's kind of an inside joke... Gabal is probably the only one here who gets it.

But basically, yeah, we say that about someone who pulls something shady or looks ridiculous doing something that just isn't like them.

pea_2101 > I've become so superstitious that I've been doing the exact same things for three days straight before games

Welcome to The Club. 😬

pea_2101 > now I can finally relax and rest until Saturday

What do you mean "rest"???!!! 😲 Tomorrow is skiing day. 🎉

BTW, it's a shame I can't find anywhere to watch the USA – Russian game. That’s going to be a massive showdown when both teams absolutely need the win. 🙏

frozentiger6> and then there’s Mr. Blazick, who managed to save—get this—exactly one shot during the entire tournament.

But coming from the number 7 spot...😉 😬

BTW, I still can't wrap my head around why Lino sent Losert home and left us with this massive hole in the lineup. 🙄

Congrats to the guys...👍...regardless of how messy it looked, I'm pretty sure pulling off this big "friendly" match wasn't easy.

But honestly, you all look ridiculous celebrating during that first half 🙂 ... punker. 😂 It was obvious our boys were playing like absolute crap, while the Mexicans weren't even playing rough (which is weird enough on its own). We were basically just waiting for us to get up by 3 or 4 so they’d finally give up.

I'm not going to go on about conspiracies or fixed games because I don't really buy into that. But I do think both sides walked onto the field thinking, "We know where we stand, let's just play this calm." And hey, it worked out fine. 👍 The US moves into the semifinals without much of a struggle, and there wasn't any chaos or fighting.

My only regret is that Šprem wasted that one shot on goal... totally ruined his stats.

Blažičko is a beast :2up:

Oh, and the refs. God, I hate those guys. 🙂 But it didn't matter; the haters could scream all they want, the guys from the region basically "settled it" amongst themselves. 😬

James Vaughn3> Germans only have a chance if the Canadians beat the Spaniards, which is impossible

I think the Spaniards are already safe 🤔, meaning they could actually lose and still make the semifinals. The only question is whether they'll come in as... first or second.

Square Hell!!!! :e
