Nitpick a beloved fictional universe!

[The Funslinger]

Middle-Earth.

Why the hell do they switch between English and Elvish mid-conversation?! They do this all the time! Pick a language, Legolas! I know, it's awesome being bilingual, but you don't have to rub it in our faces! And why didn't they throw the ring into the fires of Mt. Doom when Sauron was defeated the first time around? That would have really saved us some time! But no, make some stupid Hobbit kid do all the work for you! Do you know how many people died because of that?

Erm, it was kinda because one of the Human Kings picked the ring up after Sauron's body was destroyed and was seduced by it. Then he ran away with it and soon after it dissapeared.

So yeah...

Ah... Sorry, I'm not a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, so I'm not entirely familiar with the lore.

One instance i can think of when they switched to Elvish was in the Rohan battle. Legolas was telling Aragorn what he thought of their odds, but they were right in front of the troops. You're not just going to say in earshot "they're all going to die", so he used Elvish, which Aragorn spoke, so the troops wouldn't understand.

But why did Azula have to die? Why!?

The ***** was crazy?

Even if they didn't have her executed or anything, she'd have rotted in a cell until she died. People in that environment don't live as long. Neither do people who are utterly butterly.

All the space universes are flawed. Star trek, star wars, etc.
No spaceship should be built like an airplane or ocean ship. They should be round or another shape that don't have blindsides.

Doctor Who; Religion and the British monarchy still exist millenia from now.

You'd have thought that Elrond would have realised that Isildur had been corrupted and just thrown him in the lava. He could either pass it off as an accident, or just explain that the king of men had been corrupted and it was necessary.

DRAGONS DOGMA SPOILERS

So in true Mass Effect style god shows up at the end and tells you he did all the horrible s**t to find somebody else to stop bad things from happening to the world.

But... you ARE the only had thing that happens to this world! As far as I can tell you are the only bugger invading this world! He turns up and tells us he made a dragon ravage the world and made a massive monster spewing chasm in the capitol city just so he could find somebody to protect the world? From what, myself? No thanks. Well at least it gives you the option to do the sensible thing and kill yourself and him. More choice than Mass Effect that is, what a lark!

Disclaimer: As the title indicates I love this game, and the fact the whole game is about usurping a retarded god is kinda cool actually.

But she was such a fun character. Whats more upsetting is that Iroh must of been dead for years, hopefully we'll see his grave or something once Zuzu shows up.

Indeed. I'm also looking forward to Korra talking to Aang's spirit form if that happens.

Sonics friends (besides Tails, Knuckles and MAYBE Amy since she was around in the original era) need to find their way into a black hole and die. I don't see how people take them seriously being that it's not a series MEANT to be taken seriously. Sonic is based off of bloody early US cartoons like Felix and Mickey Mouse, what's tits (Rouge) and idiot (Shadow) doing there?! :|

I want that just to hear what Aang sounded like all grown up, I'm also hopping for a moment where Zuko gives Korra advice and then hums "Brave Solider Boy" as she runs of the save the world.

I came here meaning to talk about Pratchett but after all the posts above...

Screw it, Vimes should be incapable of remembering where he left his damn keys by now, let alone fighting like an unstoppable bad ass.

Warhammer 40k takes itself WAAAAAAAAAAY to seriously. Especially when you have ork vehicles that move faster if they are painted red.

I know its an easy one, but fuck it, its the only one that I have issues with off the top of my head that hasn't already been done to death. The Monster Hunter universe.

An ecology like that wouldn't have any chance of surviving for any length of time. Everyhing should be driving everything else to extinction. There are two or three species of herbivores, and then almost every other organism is an apex predator. And most of them are huge! Christ, there is a carnivore the size of a mountain in the game! They would eliminate the entire food source in a month!

Then there are the hunters. They can't take a smack from a wyvern's tail (reasonable enough) but they can happily throw themselves off the side of a mountain just to get to the bottom faster? Not to mention the fact that they can carry a metal sword that is significantly larger than themselves and swing it around like a sack of potatoes.And don't even get me started on the cats.

You're nitpicking the fact that Vimes is getting too old to fight in a universe where the Silver Horde is a thing?

Spoiler: The Silver Horde are better fighters than Vimes and they look like this.

Friendship is Magic:

So...do they have electricity, or not? Because it seems to change every so often.

And in one episode, they confirmed they have video games. So, does that mean they have computers? How else would they program those games?

And if they do have computers, do they have Internet?
