Ask Lemmy

He's widely loved?

Pretty sure that was the story arc in the original series

This movie was a wild ride. Every bit as awful as you'd expect. Highly recommend watching it illegally. That's a joke. Haha.

We enjoy watching them because they are horrible people who never really succeed at what they are trying to do. I don't think anyone would want to hang out with them.

What's wrong with having your adventure buddy randomly stop, stare into space and ask the most obvious questions and act like she got an answer?

Jesus would probably get on my nerves.

He never called people by their names and gave them weird nicknames and spoke in riddles like a guy who fried his brain on weed and LSD in college during an ethics class.

I think Fry would be kind of annoying too.

Wonka is arguably guilty of slavery and even if he didn't kill four kids, he at least traumatized four kids. And he laid off all his workers, leading some of them to become impoverished.

Plus, under the current administration, ICE would break in and forcibly deport (kidnap) all the Ommpa Loompas.

Would trump deport them for not being white, save them for being orange, or leave them there because they're already slaves?

What made me like Amos Burton (from the series, still have to read the book) is that he is self aware enough to know this about himself, and intelligent enough to understand it as a shortcoming in many situations.

He's a man where some part of him wants to do good, even be used for good, but doesn't know how. But he recognises good people, and anchors himself to those he believes can use him for good.

That somehow makes him smarter than most people in the series... Or in real life, for that matter.

Amos is self aware though. He knows he was born without a moral compass and allows Naomi, who he knows is good, to give him direction. He trusts that her decisions will keep him from crossing a line that he knows is there but he can't see himself.

Sheohorath gets pretty fucking dark.

At that same moment, a young woman nearby commented wistfully to herself, "The sounds of the birds are so beautiful."

Sheogorath silently agreed with her. Mortals could not make the beautiful and inspired calls of birds. Their voices were wretched and mundane. He could not change the nature of mortals, for that was the purview of other Daedric Princes. However, he could give them tools to make beautiful sounds.

Sheogorath took hold of the petulant woman and ripped her asunder. From her tendons he made lutes. From her skull and arm bones he made a drum. From her bones he made flutes. He presented these gifts to the mortals, and thus Music was born.
