Nitpick a beloved fictional universe!

Before I say any thing I should probably mention that I've only seen the films so this stuff may be explained in the books.370999 said:
1. Sauron would be ruler of the world if he wasn't such a drama queen, 'All I need to do is kill this one guy and I'm in charge of everything, now how should I kill him should I use this giant, BAMF, gravity mace, or should I reach over ....very slowly.... with my most important and vulnerable appendage, te-he.
2. Why did that leader of the elves not just kill the human that refused to throw the ring into Mordor, 'uh yeah guys he just sort of tripped in, but before he hit the lava he dafinatly said that I get all his stuff'
3. Who ever made the rings is a moron, "3 go to the elves immortal and wisest of creatures, 7 to the Dwarth lords master crafts-man, and 9 to the race of men who above all else desire power"
Now I know I messed up that quote a bit but if the only distinguishing quality of a race is that they desire power why the hell would you give them any rings, and why do the elves who are apparently perfect only get 3?
oh and Gary is always a douche, no matter how many times you stomp his face inTerminate421 said:
Don't recall if this scene from the movie is based on a specific scene from the book. It may have just been for dramatic effect.Vegan_Doodler said:
He'd have to get him to Mt Doom first which would be tricky. Otherwise he'd have to wage war against humans. It would've been brutal.
Sauron made the rings, he made them to control the races, all the more reason to favour the power hungry, gullible and easily corruptible humans.
Again my memory is a tad hazy but it may have also had something to do with kingdoms or something (eg. 3 elven kingdoms/7 dwarven/9 human) but that's not based on any facts on my part.
Sauron was the maker of the rings he did it to trick the leaders of all the races in order to enslave them and conquer the world remember one ring to rule them all ie his ring controlled all the others making him the supreme ruler when they fell under the spell of thier respective rings.Vegan_Doodler said:
Oh the creepy one with the puppets, I gotcha now. Maybe he taught himself? It kind of seems like a logical thing to do if you can effectively bend liquids (not water) like they did a few times in the last series. Having that kind of control over someone sounds pretty handy. Maybe we'll find out in a later episode.Josh12345 said:
P.S. Your remark about Tarlok using blood bending confused me at first because I hadn't seen episode 8 yet, but I watched it in between these posts haha.
Halo. I absolutely love the series, and consider myself a Halo fanboy (one of the good ones though 
). But, I want to know WHAT THE STATUS OF EVERY SPARTAN IS! We've had the Spartan-Is who were mainly explored in the (canonical) alternate reality games, and that includes Johnson and Byrne from Contact Harvest. We have the Spartan-IIs, who are mostly dead, but a few squads are still unaccounted for, particularly Black Team and Gray Team, and individuals hiding within ONI who have only just been found within the canon (such as Naomi, Fahjad, and Serin Osman). We have missing Spartan-IIIs from Alpha and Beta Companies, who were pulled either for the Headhunter squads or for Noble Team rotation, and those who weren't on Reach at its destruction are also unaccounted for. Finally, from SIII Gamme Company, we have literally everyone not on Onyx at the conclusion of Ghosts of Onyx - i.e. everyone on board the Agincourt when it left Onyx. Where are they?
Fortunately, it seems like the UNSC Infinity and the Spartan-IV project may give some resolution to this, but it's still a massive gaping hole unless every single remaining Spartan of all generations has been recruited to the new Spartan teams. I know that Microsoft/343 have the 'Halo Bible', but even so, even if they know where every Spartan is, it's annoying for the rest of us. Or at least annoying for me...

My Little Pony: How can they pick things up with hooves? Yes, Unicorns have magic, but what about Earth Ponies and Pegasai?
[HEADING=2]Halo.[/HEADING] Did we really need there to be prehistoric space faring humans? Did we? I didn't think we did, but whatever.
[HEADING=2]Mass Effect.[/HEADING] So in all this time with mass effect technology, they never advanced? Sovereign said that the relays were meant to guide civilization's technology in such a way as was desirable, but in the thousands of years they had access to this technology, they never moved beyond it? Not even strictly speaking improving, but diverging. Any semblance of an arms race just ended? I dunno, I'd just expect someone to think, "Maybe I should make a gun that goes right through those shields..."
[HEADING=2]Warhammer.[/HEADING] Every single human acts in such a backwards and disgustingly ignorant manner that I can never support them. Yes, I know that's the point, but that doesn't change the fact they're all acting like Salem witch hunters with hardons for themselves and their precious tech based religion, which I don't view as a good character. Hope training humanity to resist Chaos was worth giving up anything human like. Imagination, art, all that good stuff. Now it's just a slog of pointless conflict.
[HEADING=2]Red Dead Redemption.[/HEADING]
Why do characters just seem to fade away when you're done with them? Like in Undead Nightmare, you get one conversation with the rancher girl that you meet early in the game, but after that she's just gone. And every single person I recruited to help me storm the fort. They just sort of reappeared after disintegrating into dust after their quest. I was seriously caught off guard, and caught myself saying, "Oh yeah, he still exists, doesn't he?"
[HEADING=2]Aliens.[/HEADING]
I love this universe, but why didn't Weyland Yutani take the parasitic, incredibly dangerous, invasive species far away from Earth for testing? You know, Earth, that big green and blue marble with not only a huge number of human hosts, but the authorities, and oh, what else, YOUR HOUSES! Why test a new form of nuke in your backyard when you know damn well from reports of what happened to your colonies that it can bite you hard in the ass, and rape your face?
[HEADING=2]My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.[/HEADING]
Why don't you take better precautions when you know the nature of the beast? Not for Chrysalis, but for Discord and Nightmare. You knew that Nightmare's sentence would end in 1000 years, and you knew for a fact that Discord, the god of chaos and insanity, is fueled by, what else, discord, but you let the former waltz in and take control, and left the latter out in your backyard, which also happens to be a tourist attraction, and a field trip hot spot.
DUMB.

Either magnetic horse shoes, or holding it upright so the hoof forms a flat plane for things to rest on.CrazyGirl17 said:
This was about the universe, not just the games.....And the games that actually required me to catch pokemon to win were the 4th generation and the 5th generation.Patathatapon said:
Actually, that kinda makes sense. Zuko knew how to lightning bend, and it has practical applications, so it makes sense that most firebenders would learn it.Binnsyboy said:
What DOESN'T make sense is how water benders get more powerful under a full moon, even though the only thing that effects the moon's "fullness" is how much of it is in shadow. It's not obviously not actually bigger or closer, so why would a shadow (or lack thereof) effect water bending?
I would also like to nitpick Doctor Who, but I won't, because I'd be here forever.
Here's a basic one about Doctor Who that was actually brought up in an episode but was never really given a good explanation: If a planet was getting invaded and you don't have enough time to prepare, why doesn't the Doctor go back about 2 weeks and just warn everyone?
Seeing as Sauron has a big ol' watchtower with which he can survey his entire land, he would most likely instantly spot those eagles and then send his entire force to shoot them down, or have his fell beasts get them. Probably all of 'm.TrilbyWill said:
