The biggest issue with cersei is that she was unable to compromise (mostly due to her inflated superiority complex thinking she's better than everyone else) and her inability to "think ahead". Perfect example is Margery. She refused to work alongside someone who threatened her rule and control over her kids. So, she gave power to the church without considering any of the ramifications (such as having THEM control her son, or come after her and all her skeletons, and ruining the relationship between the second strongest family in the kingdom) all in order for short term gain of "sticking it to" Margery and olena. Essentially, she gave nuclear weapons to a foreign country with the hope that they'll attack Canada, and not realizing that the foreign country can easily point them at us. (Ironically actually sounds like us foreign policy in a nutshell)

Legitimately Doctor Doom's only downfall is his lack of humility and his envy of Reed's life. The man had the power to rewrite the universes and shape them to be what they once were, but instead created a new Battleworld in a testament to himself, living the life he wanted, Sue as his wife with children and power. He kept around a scarred and mangled set of worlds rather than A. Realizing he was not a god and should not wield the power he possesses for his own personal gain B. Utilizing the power to fix the worlds and making them pure utopias with versions of himself within there to be effectively monitors and ensure they stay on the straight and narrow or C. Accepting that he could not fix this how another could and asking for help so he could utilize it to heal the worlds whilst making himself remain powerful. Doom is a genius and could save the world, but he is too proud to admit Reed is a better man and strive to better himself to the point that he *could* save the world. Doom has Lex Luthor Syndrome, he's a genius but there is a fundamental flaw within him that he blames on others to try and excuse his failings.

4:50 I'm sure someone must have pointed this out by now, but the starvation was in direct correlation with Scars actions as leader of the Pride. He encourages the lions, hyenas, and presumably every other predator in the pride lands to consume more than they would have under Mufasa's reign. He did deliver on his promise to feed the pride lands, and in doing so the prey animals were hunted to dwindling numbers, if not near extinctions for the area. This is what forced Nala out past the wastes, and to the jungle where she finds Simba. Starvation due to over hunting and decimation of the food chain for years to come. We've seen parallels in human history which lead us to hunting/game laws, and agencies like the E.P.A. So yeah, that's why they "got more starving" and the Savannah was against him.

She got into power through presumably shady means and then proceed to completely violate all of the values of Borg society. She had emotions, individuality, and she was completely worthless as a leader because she repeatedly took away resources from valuable Borg projects to just chase after a ship or a person she had beef with. Not to mention that she showed a completely moronic disregard for the people she ruled over, going so far as to blow up an entire Borg cube full of tens of thousands of drones just because a single one of them had been disconnected from the borg consciousness. The borg queen is the perfect demonstration of why the hive mind/direct democracy system the borg have is so good, and why having an individual leader with absolute power is the worst thing a society can do.

Everything the Lannisters do ends up coming back to haunt them. Tyrion was the only person in that House who is smart enough to not continue making enemies. Hell he got captured by pirates and tricked them into eventually leading him to Daenerys.

Tyrion is Tywin without the chip. He and his father are very similar, but where Tywin wanted revenge and respect, Tyrion decided that both of those things are bloody useless.

@carlosapiang8256

Maybe in the short term, but if you look at predator-prey relationships, they are always a little out of phase. Say there are a lot of antelopes (a lot of prey), then the predator population would increase as more survived and reproduced. Due to the high number of predators (hyenas), the antelope population falls, as many are killed. Suddenly there aren't enough antelope to feed a large number of hyenas, so hyenas die and the population falls. This allows antelopes to reproduce and to grow in numbers due to the low number of predators. This relationship repeats itself ad nauseam. TL;DR: By eating themselves into a famine the hyenas actually did respect the circle of life.

How many hyenas could there really be since they weren’t allowed to eat the prey in the Pridelands? It’s almost as if Disney is trying to show that socialism is bad; you have to segregate a portion of the population who must have less and live a harsh life so that another portion of the population can live comfortably because if you let everyone have access to the assets then there won’t be enough.

Firelord Ozai was a horrible father and cruel world-conquest driven evil leader but the Fire Nation under his rule (and the rule of his family since Sozin) is in an age of technological advancement and is far more advanced than the other nations. He is the best evil leader.

Scar didn't keep Zazu as a "trusted advisor", he kept him as basically nothing more than a juke-box, lol.

Odd that the only way the world is not doomed is if it is run by Doom.

I think the obvious pick would be The Machines from The Matrix. We know they can run the world just fine!

Hank Scorpio would be the best leader. End of discussion.

Everyone knows that the best villain leader would be Lex Luther and Dr. Doom

Villains are mean to have flaws that make them villains. Therefore, they are obviously not gonna make good leaders. I don't even understand how this is a debate.

To be fair, it wasn’t just because she hated the poor, she also wanted to spite Margaery and stop her attempt to grandstand and drum up support among the populace.

This series never disappoints.

Lex Luther. He literally wants the best for humanity. Or Ozymandius from watchmen. Same point. Crazy? Kinda. Do they show overall beneficial results for humanity when they succeed in there universes? Mostly. Safe bet either way honestly

You touched on a really important point about the mind at the end.. not that it's a new idea, but I still find it fascinating to think about: That if someone wiped out your memory tomorrow and replaced it with a new set of memories, as long as there weren't issues with your mind deleting the old stuff and taking on the new stuff, you'd have no way of telling the difference. In fact, in fiction where this kind of thing happens, it usually hinges on the person being saved because their mind can, in some small way, tell the difference between fake memories and old memories. Granted, you do have to take into account who the person knows and that's where our social webs of connection would probably save us from being tricked in such a way. If someone you know suddenly started being a completely different person, you'd probably notice. But then, on the other hand, people do sometimes legitimately "change" who they are in a markedly rebellious way and seem to have become a different person. So if the changes are subtle enough, over a long period of time, it could be explained away as normal human behavior. ...we're screwed, aren't we.

The Savannah was against Scar because Mufasa was controlling the weather from behind the grave; he obviously is able to reach across in some fashion and it starts to rain the moment Simba becomes king.

I almost missed this! Bit of a rehash but still enjoyable guys. :)

I would support Hank Scorpio for planetary dictator any day of the week.

The Borg also can't exist. They are in standing conflict. Explain why the Borg don't use cloaking devices. They are a false analogy. A strawman designed to further star trek's Luddite anti-transhumanism ideology. Actually linking minds would result in an exponentially better mind in the same way that organization and cooperation itself maximizes strengths and minimizes weaknesses. If the Borg's behavior were consistent with the Borg's stated nature the entire trek universe would be happily assimilated, quite possibly leading to something like The Culture. Pasted from another argument I made: I refuse to believe there isn't a single human in the federation that wants out of extreme eccentricity if nothing else to be a drone. If that is the case, then that level of homogeneity speaks to the federation's status as a fanatical oppressive religion/society. Everything about the Borg and its interaction with the federation is wrong. The Borg simply would not act like they act if they were are as we're told they are. Their complete refusal to use stealth, economics, diplomacy, and patience proves they aren't interested in either efficiency or victory. They are like a massive straw man argument against cybernetics. A false dilemma argument against transhumanism. Only one example: They could park a cube next to earth and simply broadcast the offer of assimilation to anyone whose death is imminent. "To all who wish assimilation instead of death, we are here. Your mind will live forever within us." Etc. If they've eaten a million species they know exactly how to make an argument. They have billions of statesmen and demagogues and propagandists and zealots. I'm seriously supposed to believe trillions of networked minds don't understand the value of a sales pitch? Really? Bullshit.

Scar was born at the San Diego zoo. He was released in Africa when the C.L.I.T. animal rights group stormed the zoo and animal-napped him and hijacked a plane which was shot down over Africa where he was adopted into the Mustafa family pride becasue Mustafa wanted a brother for Christmas.

I always thought it was pretty obvious that the reason everyone was starving when Scar was king was because of overhunting. Plus instead of having to support just the Lions, you also include the hyenas as well. Double the predators on the same amount of prey. They were eating too quickly for the prey animals to reproduce. When Scar told Sarabi to hunt, she said there was nothing left. It worked for Mufasa because he was all about that "delicate balance" of the Savanna.

@sallyjrwjrw6766

Жыл бұрын

Mufasa only cared about the lions and didn't care about the hyenas. He was content for them to waste away in the shadow lands. He actually preferred it. Scar allowed the hyenas access to the Pridelands. I'm not sure hyenas could overhunt the prey population to cause such a devastating impact shown in the film. What were they hunting before to be equal in numbers to the lions? How many hyenas could there really be since they weren’t allowed to eat the prey in the Pridelands? It’s almost as if Disney is trying to show that socialism is bad; you have to segregate a portion of the population who must have less and live so that another portion of the population can live comfortably because if you allowed everyone access to all the assets then there won’t be enough.

No one worships the broccoli kids
