Does anyone not like Death Stranding because they don’t like Norman Reedus?-UNR
I literally couldn’t get into the game because I just don’t like the actor and now I’m really annoyed because the sequel is looking amazing but I can’t get past not liking Norman Reedus.

Collab suggestions : Death Stranding-UNR
If we get the chance to fill out surveys let's request this collab. So here is my rough idea
Punishing: Gray Raven × Death Stranding collab could look like if Kuro Games somehow pulled it off and Kojima gave the greenlight:
Event Name: "Chiral Fracture"
“The strands of connection have rotted. The Bridge is no longer safe.” — Liv: Lux, collab intro dialogue
Collab Structure
Duration: 3 weeks
Main Theme: Isolation, connection, and rebirth
Event Mechanics: Exploration-heavy with “cargo delivery” sub-missions, timefall events, and avoiding or fighting BTs (Beached Things)
Visual Style: Misty mountain zones, decayed bridges, black goo trails, floating bodies in the sky, chiral crystals
New Collab Construct:
Sam: Porter – S-Rank Construct (Transcendant)
Role: Hybrid Support / Melee
Weapon: Electrified cargo case + floating mechanical arms
Ult: BB pulses with a shockwave, stunning enemies, while Timefall rain empowers Sam’s damage and mobility
Passive: Gain stacks of "Connection" from dodging and delivering cargo in missions—boosts party healing and shield
Design: Sam in his signature blue Bridges suit, glowing strands across his gear, with a floating BB capsule glowing on his chest
VA: Norman Reedus re-records lines for JP and EN
Free A-Rank Construct:
Fragile: Courier of Shadows
Role: DPS
Weapon: Throwing chiral knives and teleport-style blink dashes
Ult: Teleports around the field slicing enemies in a chain reaction, ends with a kneeling “timefall prayer” pose
Boss Stage: BT Abomination
Massive black goo humanoid made of corrupted Punishing virus + chiral matter
Fights use unique mechanics: hiding behind terrain to avoid BT detection, holding breath, dodging invisible grab attacks
Mid-fight twist: Lee, Vera, or Liv shows up late—infected—and you have to purge the infection in a cinematic QTE before they turn
Event Storyline Summary
PGR Squad intercepts strange "Strands" in a collapsed zone.
Liv starts hearing “BB’s” heartbeat.
Watanabe warns that “the dead don’t stay dead here.”
Sam appears through a “fragile jump,” warning of a timefall fracture between their worlds.
Constructs question the idea of “life, rebirth, and carrying hope” in a place where everyone dies.
Vera offers to help Sam find a way back—but only if he helps her study the virus's connection to the “Chiral Network.”
Cosmetics / Extras
Coatings:
2B-style black coat for Sam
BT Goo suit for Lucia
MULE exosuit for Chrome
Furniture Set: Safehouse interior w/ BB pod, hologram shower, and floating delivery lockers

Special ending cutscene features "BB's Theme" played with strings and robotic undertones.
Dialogue Highlights
Lee (to Sam): “You carry cargo. I carry guilt. We’re not so different.” Sam: “You’re lucky. Guilt weighs less than corpses.” Liv (to BB): "Are you lonely in there? ...You don't have to be." Watanabe: “Monsters made from grief? Sounds like home.”

Any information/help about the World Tour?-UNR
I just saw the new Death Stranding 2 world tour announced earlier ( not the musical taking place later this year, Strands of harmony ).
Any idea how much the tickets cost and when they’re up for sale? Compared to the 2019 tour for those that attended. Does it work like first come first serve privileges e.g. seating arrangements ( front row etc)? Or is it like an exhibition expo (arnold classic) where you’re free to walk around wherever and whenever?
I know I sound like a noob but I have no idea how this stuff works. Only thing I’ve attended was a Playstation Concert. So I was wondering if there’s limited number of opportunities available for a meet and greet or photo.
Speaking of guests, any chance Norman Reedus would be available for meet and greet too? Because I heard Troy Baker had attended the previous one in 2019.

JDM says Norman Reedus has a man crush on Jensen Ackles 😂-UNR
One long Walking Dead rant nobody asked for in the year of our lord 2025-UNR
I went from someone not too long ago who couldn’t stand horror–especially zombies–to being a full dead-head in the space of a few months. I finished all of TWD in four months and now I’m halfway through S3 of FTWD as of today. I will discuss spoilers up until that point, but please avoid spoilers for anything beyond that.
The Walking Dead was phenomenal. I had no idea what I’d been missing all these years. I thought it was going to be your run of the mill drama with horror elements, filled with poorly handled tropes and weak characters and a somewhat unearned cult following. God…the characters were some of the best TV characters I’ve ever watched in a show with this much action and adventure, and especially the women, which was such a treat. The first few seasons of the show were some of the most surprising episodes of television I’ve ever watched, in large part because there was so much raw humanity on display that I found to be endlessly compelling, hopeful, uplifting, tragic and heart-wrenching.
The show evolved into something different, but I especially felt the shift around the time Negan showed up, what with all those fantasy-coded warring factions. Can you imagine one of the earlier characters like Lori in what the show became, because I sure can’t. While the saviours arc was incredibly frustrating and hate-inducing, I was surprised that I found myself okay with letting Negan redeem himself. I really hated the guy, I really didn’t understand why so many people were simping on him, his backstory with his wife kinda made me hate him even more, lol, but he managed to make me root for him in the end. Maggie’s speech to him in the last episode was exceptionally powerful and, I felt, entirely fitting and emotionally resonant.
The Reapers were the lowest point of the show for me, and especially Leah. She was one giant walking cliche and represented the type of writing I initially thought I was going to get out of the show. The only good part about that arc was how Pope got so little opportunity to be the PoS he was before Daryl was like ‘nah.’
I actually really enjoyed the Whisperers arc, and I thought Alpha was performed spectacularly by the actress and was a very intriguing and well-conceived, formidable villain. Negan 'partnering' with her felt wonderfully like crack fanfiction- like, these two characters definitely should not be meeting and they DEFINITELY should not be f**king, but here we are. Lydia was another surprise- I thought she was going to fall into the cliche trap but the writing for her character surprised me at nearly every turn. That poor girl.
The moment we met ten year old Judith Grimes I was literally this meme:
The death that broke me was Carl. God…I haven’t cried like that in a very long time. Glenn’s was the most disturbing and shocking. Sasha’s was also very tragic, performed to perfection, made all the sadder for how pointless it was. We gotta shout out Rosita here as well…her goodbye to Eugene, my god. The first traumatizing death for me was Dale. He was my first fave and as soon as Shane started threatening him, I feared the end was near. He was too good for this world. Daryl (I now understand why people stan Norman Reedus) and old man Hershel also became favourites, later followed by Carol and Michonne. I'm obsessed with the portrayal of friendship between Daryle and Carol. Michonne and Rick were the best couple of the show for me; I had been shipping them long before they got together. Much later in the show, Eugene and Jerry were my boys, I will always have such a soft spot for characters like them, even though I know Jerry wasn’t given much depth or any backstory, the number of times I said out loud to an empty room “I swear to god, if Jerry dies this episode…*shakes fist threateningly*.” I will note that the show did an exceptional job of making me care about nearly every ‘good’ character, with only a few exceptions. There were some characters I started out hating who I later loved. Gabriel? Who would have thought he would become one of the most badass MF’s around. Him and Rosita? Never would have seen that coming, but they worked so well. Massive shout out to the complexity that is Carol. What a character. The last season was wild, in not the best way, with the walkers actually evolving (lol) and Pamela (lol). There’s so much more I want to say, but I won’t for fear of making this post even longer than it already is.
Now, On to FTWD. Oh boy. So I was prepared to not like this show- I was warned by all the reddit posts and articles saying it’s the weakest entry in the universe. I will say that it’s not as terrible as everyone warned me it would be, at least not yet. It’s not great either. Nick and Daniel are two excellent characters, performed exceptionally. Most of the rest of the characters suffer from simply being uninteresting and their arcs feeling unearned/underwhelming. Yes, I despised Chris, though he helped me recognize that the show had some semblance of long-term writing efforts. For example, when I began the show and witnessed him at that violent protest, I thought he was a more radical teen SJW. The slow reveal that he actually had violent, sociopathic tendencies was actually very compelling, and while his two episode arc before his death was so angering, I also enjoyed the process of this realization of who he is and seeing his past actions through an entirely different lens. I enjoy that kind of writing, even if the execution needed a bit of work.
I wanted to like Madison. She starts the show by being fiercely loyal to her kids, including those not of blood (like that prepper kid at her school) and you can’t help but like her. I came to the realization today, halfway through S3, that I /hate/ her. If she was a DnD character, her wisdom score would be in the negative. She’s literally the last person you want on your team because she sabotages everything she lays her hand on in the most thoughtless way possible. People trust her and she played off as badass, characters acquiescing “Madison’s right,” BUT SHE’S NOT. At least with Carol, when she runs off after Alpha and gets everyone trapped in the cave, the show KNOWS she made the wrong choice, and there’s emotional karma for her, not to mention she has a massive history of trauma that puts her actions in context. With Madison, too many characters are agreeing with her, or not holding her accountable when she goes off on these thoughtless actions; Her lighting up the hotel, her killing people to get Alicia back from the Hopi Tribe. I’m rooting for the tribe, guys.
Alicia is the most boring, flat, YA character of the show- speaking as someone who loves a /good/ YA. I haven’t enjoyed anything her character has done so far, and that’s sad, because a teenage girl in the apocalypse could be interesting, if they weren’t so invested in making her a bad trope, played off as (unearned) tough/badass. Also, she didn’t seem to give a shit about Travis until he died, and now she’s throwing that death in Walker’s face saying “you don’t know how I feel,” in response to him and his people’s hundreds of years of senseless suffering at the hands of non-native people? Yeah, no. Way to make me /not/ root for you even more. Also, I don’t know if anyone else was bothered by this, but the first three character deaths in the first couple episodes of FTWD were all black men, two of whom were killed brutally by our white MC’s, and I just found that to be a huge oversight. Alnd I was so excited to see another queer romance on this show…but man, queer couples have it so rough in this universe.
Looking forward, if FTWD gets really bad, and I suspect it will considering the show icon on Prime only shows Alica and Strand remaining, I will be moving on to the other spin offs. I’m really hoping the Daryl Dixon spinoff doesn’t feel like those standalone episodes in S11 of TWD with Leah and the cabin. Those were my least favourite episodes of the entire series, because they felt so try-hard and cliched and the camera lense/ lighting was overly filtered to make it seem edgy. It didn’t have the rawness and humanity that made earlier seasons so special. I /just/ found out that there’s a Rick and Michonne show and I’m HYPED. My fingers are crossed that I enjoy the rest of the spinoffs more than FTWD, but I have faith given what little I’ve read about them.
I don’t currently know anyone IRL who’s watched the show, so if anyone has any questions or wants to share their thoughts, feel free! If anyone made it this far, thanks for reading!

Just speculating on the year 10 Roadmap, don't mind me-UNR
Is P.T. and DS are connected?-UNR
this might be a stupid theory but in PT, the ghost's name is lisa (same as sam's mother's name) which is killed by her husband and what i remember is pregnant. in DS, sam's mother killed by her husband while she was pregnant too. In the end of pt, the player (which is norman reedus) comes to a town and a part of town that is shown in the ending shot is in the first knot city we go to. also, in the directors cut, sam sees a nightmare that a ghost looks like lisa in his shower. considering people with dooms sees nightmares often, could PT be another one of those nightmares sam seeing?
i know they are references but its really odd that they share similarities

r/BoxOffice Long Range Forecast: 'Ballerina' and 'The Phoenician Scheme'-UNR
Before you comment, read these two rules:
1. Please provide specific numbers for your predictions. Don't do like "It'll make less than this or that" or "double this movie or half this movie". We want a real prediction.
2. Given that a lot of parent comments do not even bother to give predictions, we are establishing a new rule. The parent comment must provide a prediction with specific numbers. The rest of the replies to the comment do not have to make a prediction, but the parent comment absolutely has to. Any parent comment without a prediction will be eliminated.
Welcome to the newest edition of r/BoxOffice Long Range Forecast.
We're making long range predictions for films, 4 weeks out from their premieres. You will predict the opening weekend, domestic total and worldwide gross of these films. These predictions will be open for 48 hours and the results will be polled to form a consensus and posted the next week.
So let's meet the two films for the week and analyze each pro and con.
Ballerina (No, we ain't including the lame long title)
The film is directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard, and Total Recall) and written by Shay Hatten. It is the fifth film in the John Wick franchise, serving as a spin-off set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4. It stars Ana de Armas, Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Anjelica Huston, Lance Reddick, Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves. In the film, Eve Macarro, a ballerina-assassin, begins to train in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma and sets out to exact revenge for her father's death.
The Phoenician Scheme
The film is produced, written and directed by Wes Anderson (too many films to single out) from a story he conceived with Roman Coppola. The film stars an ensemble cast including Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, and Hope Davis. In the film, wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda appoints his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a new enterprise, they soon become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists and determined assassins.
Now that you've met this week's new releases, let's look at some pros and cons.
PROS
-
The John Wick has been incredibly profitable for Lionsgate, with each film increasing from the previous one ($86.0M > $174.3M > $328.3M > $440.1M). If you're making a spin-off, you need a big name, and Ana de Armas is a good candidate for that. The trailers emphasized everything you come to love about this franchise: badass action. Lionsgate was also smart to have Keanu Reeves appear in the film and have it promoted across social media, although the extent of his role remains a mystery.
-
Wes Anderson is one of the most recognizable directors working today. He has his own fans who will definitely pay to watch whatever he puts out. He's coming off Asteroid City, which had his biggest opening weekend domestically and closed with $54 million worldwide. The concept and marketing all look good so far.
CONS
-
Last year, Furiosa tried to expand the Mad Max universe, but it massively flopped. It's unlikely Ballerina shares the same fate, but it's a point worth considering. Spin-offs usually grab a film's best character, but here, we never met the lead character before. Ana de Armas is definitely known, but she doesn't have a lot of box office success as leading lady (Knives Out was an ensemble). While Lionsgate has placed Keanu Reeves as much as possible on the marketing, it remains to be seen how much he will appear and if that will be enough to convince more audience members to watch this. It's also gonna compete with Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning for action fans. The film also had a troubling production, to the point that it was delayed a full year; Chad Stahelski oversaw 2-3 months of reshoots and filmed the majority of the film without Wiseman being present. Now, the audience doesn't care for BTS drama, but it indicates the film is struggling with the quality.
-
Wes Anderson is iconic, but most of his films aren't box office hits (they usually profit after home media and streaming). Asteroid City opened big, but it didn't have good word of mouth to keep going. Anderson's past two films, Asteroid and The French Dispatch, were well received but reception wasn't as strong as his previous films. Will The Phoenician Scheme be different?
And here's the past results.
| Movie | Release Date | Distributor | Domestic Debut | Domestic Total | Worldwide Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Final Destination: Bloodlines | May 16 | Warner Bros. | $43,364,000 | $107,184,000 | $227,932,000 |
| Hurry Up Tomorrow | May 16 | Lionsgate | $6,159,090 | $14,752,272 | $25,445,454 |
| Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning | May 23 | Paramount | $71,968,750 (3-day) $81,693,333 (4-day) | $227,468,571 | $665,082,857 |
| Lilo & Stitch | May 23 | Disney | $124,431,250 (3-day) $141,760,000 (4-day) | $431,377,142 | $1,006,488,571 |
| Karate Kid: Legends | May 30 | Sony | $47,572,222 | $132,305,555 | $284,278,947 |
| Bring Her Back | May 30 | A24 | $11,326,666 | $37,033,333 | $71,040,000 |
Next week, we're predicting How to Train Your Dragon, The Life of Chuck and Materialists.
REMINDER: The Phoenician Scheme opens on May 30 on limited release, but we're focusing solely on its wide debut on June 6.
So what are your predictions for these films?
