What could be shoot that he didn’t already shoot? In the books, he already managed to fell a fell beast from long range. And it’s not like shooting the eye of Sauron with a sniper rifle would kill him.

I agree, but I still think someone should have tried. Even if it didn’t kill him there’s a giant gulf between not killing him and doing nothing.
This applies more to Voldemort than to the eye of Sauron tbh. Ofc he has horcruxes blah blah blah but if they just got an SAS sniper to shoot a 50 cal sniper round at him from a mile out - again, I’m not saying it would kill him but… would it have done nothing? All I’m saying is there’s a thing called due diligence and they should have at least tried.
One thing that comes up in the original book is dracula is apparently a really good cook but in some lore the can’t really eat food so I like the idea of dracula learning to cook then just tossing out the rest of the dish once he’s satisfied
That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Firstly an aristocrat in the late 1800s, especially one who had been around for a long time, would not cook their own food, that’s servant work. Secondly, vampires don’t generally gain sustenance from food, so why would he care? Finally, if this dude can’t eat garlic I question his ability to make tasty food
I think it was a a curry but I could be totally since it’s been a while and at that point in the book he was telling johnathan that he lived alone so he at least wanted him to believe that he cooked it
I’ve only seen the 1931 movie but didn’t he have Renfield as a servant? Plus he had help when he traveled from Transylvania to London. So it still doesn’t make sense to me
I’m pretty sure renfield doesn’t show up till london as he’s in a psych ward there and it was johnathon’s job to set up the buying of a heart plus the trip to london
They call in Gandalf in his A10 Thunderbolt II (because the eagles didn’t have a 30mm GAU-8 Avenger). Drops a paveway on the Black Gate and dumps 1,174 30mm slugs and a few clusters of hydra 70mm rockets into the horde.
The more recent racism: “they gave us covid because of eating bats!” While they chew on some prion infested venison while insisting mad cow isn’t real.
Covid is real and dangerous when they feel like justifying their racism.
Yet Covid “is no big deal” or even “is not real” like you say, as they threw one lazy selfish tantrum after another, refusing to mask up, abusing essential workers.
I love how the rhetoric is “dey turk our jerbs!” While lawmakers are lowering the work age requirements so that kids can be forced to fill those “jerbs”.
Also, throw massive temper tantrum about “crisis at the border,” but refuse to do anything about it. If anyone is wondering, the answer is no, the Republicans do not want to make a deal with Biden on border policy; it’s way too politically convenient for them to have it both ways.
They want to use it as a campaign talking point and as a political cudgel, while also refusing to do anything about it. Also they can’t give Biden anything that might look like a win, no matter how much the American people want it.
Unfortunately they have right wing media on their side so their constituents will never understand the two-faced game they’re playing.
I miss the days when computers were real MACHINES. With the CLACK of a fat button humming and buzzing to life. The whole experience was so different with much more audiovisual and haptic feedback. love it.
To be fair, that has not changed much. I have a Datacenter HDD in my desktop system and the first time powering that thing up sounded like it just shredded the plates and i’m going to be bombarded with shrapnels. But in normal operation, it makes a rather soothing (at least for me) clackety-clack sound. My other, normal desktop HDD not making any noise apart from spinning up is something that i find rather irritating tbh.
