Reply to comment by meowskywalker in Unpopular opinion: Arcane is the greatest video game-based tv show of all time by Sorry_Village13
It's an adaptation of trivia. Each champion has like 200-word background lore, and the show is essentially an adaption of Jinx's and Vi's lore.
The main lore of LOL revolves around two factions resettling their differences by playing a game in which they possess powerful individuals (like Jinx and Vi).
So, a proper adaptation of LoL would be Hunger Games mixed with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (in which the Rock plays the game character, Dr. Bravestone who is possessed by a nerdy high schooler).

I thought that strange assumption as well.
I'm not sure what OP thinks the privy council was, but he should know that it was composed of "great officers of the crown", who were much more than advisors, as they were all in charge of their respective departments (e.g. the chancellor drafted laws, and had an army of judges under him that he would dispatch to solve issues), for all intends and purpose, they were ministers.

It is actually based on a manga, not the anime, which was just a 3-episode advertisement.

>That’s not an indicator of quality mind you - the episode “Ember Island Players” from Avatar: The Last Airbenders is total filler
I'd argue it's not filler. The play recap is essentially a plot device to make the characters reflect on their action which builds momentum going to the finale. Like Zuko laments about how poorly he treated his uncle during season 1, which is an aspect that hadn't been brought up earlier. So, when they reunite, it all clicks. Therefore it is arguably part of his story arc.

I don't think Roger has been raped yet, who else is there? Didn't Young Ian get raped by the Witch?

>Claire's time travel plus the incessant rape
Claire didn't get raped until much later. There were multiple attempts, but none succeed. Unless you consider King Louis offering to release Jaime if she agrees to fuck him, which I don't.

Season 6 did end rather poorly. The entire season was a bit strange like nothing happened until the final episode, and then everything happened.

What are you going to burn? You would find abandoned villages, which is why Anglo-Normans were forced to construct a series of fortifications in order to hold into their conquest.

After reading multiple books on medieval warfare it would be overambitious to give any level of summary considering that the practice of warfare changed from century to region and from region to region, for instance, the Irish denied Anglo-Normans from pitch battles, preferring forest ambushes, making the conquest of Ireland slow and painful. In contrast to warfare in France where you would immediately meet a field army.

USA has two times as many Latinos as afro-Americans, yet from watching Hollywood movies you would be led to believe the opposite.

>How do you have these insular communities in an ancient world where people are not homogenous?
Particularly with the Numenoreans, who are supposed to be isolationists. It is like if a third of Japan had been Indians during the Perry Expeditions, despite them having been in isolation for centuries.
Regent Miriel is black despite her father being white, and Tolkien explicitly describes her skin tone as white.

Wasn't the Supernatural one where they play "Heat of the Moment" every time the loop repeated?
