Also in stardew valley, having a gay relationship changes dialogue with one npc specifically, only if you romance Alex. The dialogue is his grandfather, George, who says, “How can two men get married? It's unnatural... Hmmph. I guess I'm just "old fashioned"...” until you reach 10 hearts with him, where it becomes, “I'll admit, I thought it was... strange... for two men to be together. But you're such a nice young man, and I know you two are in love... I've changed my mind.” Give this old man enough leeks and fried mushrooms and he'll become Not Homophobic.
Um actually, you don't _have_ to give Stardew Valley NPCs gifts to increase their hearts. You can just talk to them once a day, though that takes much longer.
you can also never talk to them and just attend events, since those raise friendship as well also the wedding does not take place 3 days later if an event is scheduled on the same day (I think?). per harvest moon rules
just remembered this but I believe you need to witness all of their heart events before you can marry them as well. that’s another way to gain friendship points tho it’s limited
@@yumehophype5005 As for never talking and just attending events, marriage candidates' hearts do have a decay if you don't interact with them over time, and I don't know if the holiday events would be enough to offset that.
Um Actually, while Patroclus was ultimately killed by Hector, saying he was killed immediately is rather unfair. He went on a successful rampage killing multiple notable Trojan heroes.
Also, Um actually, it was not Paris killing Achilles that stopped Achilles' rampage, it was the Trojan king Priam sneaking into his tent and showing his grief for his son Hector and begging for Hector's body back.
Fun fact, Twilight was doing the "Retelling the story from the dude's perspective" first, and E.L. James once again took Stephanie Meyer's ideas for profit, lol.
I kind of hate to add to this, but it does get funnier: all of this is steeped in fanfiction tropes and none of it comes from either of them. Gender bends and retellings are common fanfiction premises. Stephanie Meyer definitely knew about the fanfiction, and probably figured that the love interest’s telling would sell based on readership. This is effectively hearsay, but, come on, if you know you know.
Adding to this, Meyer wrote a bookfrom Edward's perspective, but also from Bea's perspective. Bea the newly transformed vampire that was killed by the Vulturi in book 2 or 3 (I don't remember exactly. Twilight was a fever dream to me)
@@oliviarice1372 Bree was a more interesting character, it's the thing. My guess is Meyer learned from Twilight what not to do and wrote Bree's story as a test that was ultimately successful
Um, Actually I have another correction for the first question. Westley doesn't return to Florin to kidnap Buttercup. They had sailed across the sea to Guilder to frame Guilder. He travels to Guilder to get Buttercup back, though the rest of the story takes place in Florin.
Um Actually: Patroclus is not immediately killed by Hector after donning Achilles' armor. Patroclus manages to kill a bunch of Trojans then kill Sarpedon, who is a son of Zeus, before Apollo removes his wits and he is wounded by Euphorbos. Then Hector kills him. Achilles ain't in love with no scrub. Also Um actually: The Robot Devil is very good at the holophoner which is why Fry makes a trade for his hands.
Um actually, Fry makes a deal with the robot devil to replace his hands with any old random robot's hands. It only works out because the robot devil listed his own name on the giant wheel of robots that Fry gets his hands.
Fry had innate talent with the Holophonor but suffered from “stupid fingers”. The robot devil didn’t make him good at the holophonor, trading hands just gave Fry the ability to fully express his talent.
"You're gonna have to get in there." "Like Bigfoot. Got it." Such a lovely "that's what she said" moment right there, and so easy to miss if you're not paying attention. Well played Becca :)
Um Actually, for the Stardew Valley question: Apart from there being more requirements, the wedding doesn't always happen in 3 days. The wedding ceremony does not take place on a day that another event takes place in the town square. In such cases, the wedding is delayed until there is a day without such an event.
Also technically you need 10 hearts to get married, with the remaining two heart slots only made available after giving your interest the bouquet. Just adding that because that’s what I thought they were going for as the answer.
Um actually, 1) If you read the book, Princess Buttercup attends basically princess school to be eligible to become Queen, so by all accounts she is a princess. 2) Westley first rescues/abducts Buttercup in Guilder, not Florin. It's Prince Humperdink that takes him as prisoner to Florin. 3) It's spelled "Fezzik."
@@jonathanross149 Yes! I was yelling at the screen on this one. In the book, they mention how Humperdinck can't marry a commoner, so they make a small portion of the Florin holdings her "kingdom" and she's titled Princess of Hammersmith.
Um actually Patroclus isn't immediately killed by Hector. In wearing Achilles's armor and tricking the Greeks into thinking Achilles had rejoined the fighting, he managed to inspire the Greek troops (who had previously been losing the war) and turn the tides of the war in favor of the Greeks. He led the surge which saved the Greeks from losing. THEN he was killed by Hector.
While Patroclus manages to lead Achilles men and bolster the Greek army, the action itself doesn't actually turn the War in the Greeks favour (the Trojans aren't routed but retreat and Patroclus is killed after disobeying Achilles and pursuing them). Achilles actual return and subsequent killing of Hector arguably has a much larger impact. However the Greeks were not able to directly break the siege, only driving the trojans to be more defensive behind the city walls which lead to a more drawn out siege which caused the Greek alliance to grow more unstable as interest waned and time and resources were being expended. The Greeks were still not effectively winning and Agamemnon was against the clock, hence the need for Odysseus' wooden horse. Also while Patroclus was indeed wearing Achilles armour, In Homer's Iliad it is not actually said that he was 'tricking' either Achilles own men the Myrmidons, or anyone else including the Trojans. The myrmidons would likely have known as Achilles sent Patroclus in his stead after gathering his men to keep the battle away from the ships to keep to his earlier assertion that he would not fight except to defend the boats. Also Hector is intentionally killing Patroclus rather than mistaking his identity as he is asked by Glaucus after the death and desecration of Sarpedon.
but of course this can come down to which version of the story you look at, while Homer's Iliad is often considered the definitive version, he would have been separated from the events of the story by many years and the events would have been passed on by word of mouth etc, changing every time. Many of the storytellers would have cared more for entertainment value than accuracy, hence the insertion of all the mystical aspects, and it would have even been hard at the time to get a full and accurate picture of events. Even in the write up, it was likely altered to fit better as a poem, but if you ignore the merits of historical accuracy and treat it as a story produced by Homer inspired by stories of the war you will probably have a better time.
The trill weren't wrong in their re-association taboo. It is to ensure that new hosts get to live their own lives along with the symbiotes. To allow new hosts to simply live former lives would be more parasitic as you would not have two hosts giving up their lives for two symbiotes to simply be immortal. Without a taboo on re-association you would be trapping hosts into past lives rather then allowing them to be a new unique person.
@@bi_beans9011 From my understanding, the symbiote host is still allowed to associate with people from their old lives, but they are not allowed to have a romantic interest with previous partners. They are still allowed to talk to their previous romantic interests, but they cant be romantically involved. I also think when it came to Ezri, she didn't really have an identity for herself yet and wasnt given the proper training and integration her previous hosts were given. Sisko and the crew were able to sort of fulfill this role and serve as a s safe space/therapist/reintegrate coordinator for Ezri. But overall it sounds like Ezri was given far less attention and priority than Jadzia was by the Trill Symbiote Commission (and perhaps the writers).
It seems as useless and mundane a limit as when it was said Jedi could not have attachments. Yes, love can make you weak sometimes but it can also make you strong.
Um Actually the irony of the Bound Golem joke on Wonder Woman is that in the Golden Age, WW's weakness was getting tied up. Turns out her creator had a real bondage fetish.
Um actually? She is introduced as princess buttercup before the marriage. It is never explained how she’s suddenly a princess in the movie, but in the book it’s explained that because a prince must marry a princess she is elevated in rank to princess of a tiny country.
Um actually!!!! To get married in Stardew, you have to do a 3rd thing in addition to upgrading your home and accessing that part of the beach. You have to have gotten to 10 hearts with someone. Or he won’t sell you the pendant.
Um, Actually, there's an extra step you missed for getting married in Stardew Valley. In between giving the marriage candidate the bouquet and giving them the Mermaid's Pendant, you must raise your relationship level with them past 8 hearts and all the way up to 10 hearts, or else they will refuse your proposal.
Um actually, the Princess Bride question said Wesley returned to Florin to rescue Buttercup, but actually the trio had already taken her across the sea to the neighboring country of Gilder to start a war
Um actually, Mitsuha does live. She is saved by some magical wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff that lets them talk and they meet as adults at the end of the film, regaining their memories and it's a happily ever after
I also feel like they're both protagonists, and the story partly takes place at the time when she was alive, so I kinda feel like the question is worded in a way where it's a valid statement
Um, Actually! In Scott Pilgrim vs The World, there are 2 different versions of the ending in neither of which features the Power of Self Respect being the sole power up for victory. In the comics, Scott gains the power of Understanding, which gives him a boost and Ramona, after overcoming her taruma and deciding to embrace love and all that Gains the Power of Love(Which Scott had actually lost at this point due to shenanigans) and the Two Deliver an X Slash that kills Gideon. In the movie its a team up between Scott using the power of Self Respect and Knives teaming up to beat Gideon.
Um, actually! In the movie version, the power of Self Respect is subtly shattered during the fight and Gideon is defeated by the combination of Knives and Scott without it!
The connection between love and fire balls was already made by Jerry Lee Lewis in 1957 in his song 'Great Balls Of Fire': "I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny You came along and you moved me honey I've changed my mind This love is fine Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!"
Um acutally, in the episode "Hearts of Glory" of Star Trek TNG Riker is referring to two lady klingons when he makes the joke "one, or both?" after one of the male klingons states that the two female klingons are curious about how he would "endure them".
They'd kind of not mentioned the reason why they asked about that specific ds9 episode. Which it did contain the first star trek same sex kiss so ben is wrong that it's too early for that. The fact that kiss happened in an episode about a taboo relationship was very deliberate but obviously they used a classic star trek metaphor to tell it.
What's really fun is that in the TNG ep that introduced the Trill, the original host was killed and the symbiont was temporarily placed into Riker. Crusher started a relationship with the joined individual of Riker/symbiont and was unable to continue once a proper Trill host was provided who happened to be female. There was a big speech at the end from the joined Trill about being disappointed in Beverly for being hung up on gender in romantic relationships.
Yeah I was disappointed Trapp hadn't done enough research to pointedly reject the "too early for that" assumption. Now, I will say the writers and writing was very clearly Extremely Proud of Themselves for writing a story about taboos where the homosexuality was on screen yet was not actually the taboo, and also that a certain number of viewers felt was doing exactly the same thing as real life oppressors by using other excuses to disallow the relationship...but they still did it, at a time when apparently nobody would've thought they would, so let it be acknowledged!
Um actually Achilles wasn't sleeping he was angry at the leader of the Greek army and was wrapped in an anger burrito and told Patroclus to go out in his armor
So I thought about this as well. The kidnappers are on their way to the border, presumably of Floren but by the time Wesley gets they are are presumably still on the Floren side. To be fair, I did not read the book which might be different. There is also a chance that because they took a boat to the Cliff’s of Insanity that those cliffs and surrounding area are not specifically in Floren.
Um actually Robert Deniro plays a huge roll in Stardust as the captain Shakespeare who teaches both of the main characters to love who they are and be proud of that with you can be
UM ACTUALLY, Westley doesn't return to Florin to retrieve Buttercup from the kidnappers, he catches up with them in Guilder, the kingdom across the sea, the sworn enemy of Florin. The kidnapping is part of a plot to start a war between these two nations.
Um actually, you both don't need to give gifts to npcs to improve their hearts, but also there is a third thing you have to do before marriage, which is raise their heart meter form 8 to 10.
@@Delilah_Anne Most myths come to us from multiple sources, but the main source we have for *this* myth, and the source most widely accepted in the ancient world, is Homer's Illiad. According to the Illiad, Emy is right. Edit: well, about the sulking part. The Illiad isn't explicit about them being lovers, but later Greeks interpreted it that way.
@@stellasdoesstuff The funny thing about the Illiad is that the most famous fact about Achilles is his "heel" and that wasn't added until much later poems, and his death is never actually described in the Illiad at all. Which I always bring up when someone "um, actuallys" about them not being lovers as if theres an actual single canon. (not you specially, just in general)
@@Lowekinder yeah! Illiad is literally just about Achilles's rage -- it ends when the rage ends (sorry i know you probably know this already, I just love this stuff)
Um, actually, Prince Humperdinck does introduce her as *Princess* Buttercup while mentioning she "was once of the people", so presumably she's been proclaimed a princess in order for the marriage to a prince to be okay.
Um, actually… the Power of Self Respect only appears in the film. In the comic series, the second blade he unlocks is the Power of Understanding (which also gives him access to a new T-Shirt)
Actually, if you want to be REALLY technical, a carat used to be defined as the weight of one carob seed (which are remarkably uniform in size and weight). In India they used to (and may still) have a similar standard for weighing gold, counted out in seeds of chirmi (rosary peas, Abrus precatorius).
Um actually, in the episode where fry moves suns to prove his love, the suns were moved to divert cronitions and prevent time skips where events happen normally but people don't remember what happens during them. in one of the flash forwards fry and leela actually get married and in another time skip are shown in court getting divorced. So the sentence as provided implies that they were not married at any point prior to that which they were even if only for like 10 seconds of screen time.
Also, Fry did not get good at playing the holophoner through the power of love. HE made a deal with the devil for Robot hands so he could play it well, because he sucked at it.
According to Google, the answer to why the diamond color scale starts with D is that previous scales had grades like A, AA, AAA, or otherwise, and others include B and C as well. So when the current system was invented, they had to differentiate it from the other scales, which they did by skipping any overlapping letters and starting at D.
knowing some people read the story as them as cousins, following a gilgamesh joke, just made me recall reading reviews and such on the epic. in the epic it speaks of how gilgamesh will hold enkidu like a wife and everyone always only refer to them as best friends. the meme of "and historians will call them friends..." here (humored)
The dead prince peanut gallery immediately brought it to mind, I just could not remember DeNiro being in it. It's been a long time, gotta rewatch it for sure.
1. It's Fezzik 2. Westley returning isn't that early in the story, if we're being honest 3. By the time Westley gets to Buttercup he's not actually abducting her from anybody. Inigo and Fezzik are unconscious and Vizzini is dead. Then Buttercup throws him down a hill. I KNOW these episodes are on massive tape delay but I'm still mad about i!
Um Actually Fry and Leela aren't unrequited, also Um Actually there IS someone who's great at the Holophone - the Robot Devil, since Fry can create an entire opera using his hands My Pokémon brain saw Ruby and Sapphire and I got so excited until I realised that the intent was Steven Universe... Un Actually De Niro does have a minor role in Stardust but it is more than one scene, he's a part of a full montage part of the film
Um actually it’s explicit in the episode that Fry doesn’t get his talent from the Robot Devil, he already has talent but his “stupid fingers” are too clumsy to express it. The only thing he gets from the Robot Devil are his hands. We actually have no idea whether or not the Robot Devil can play the holophonor
@@stoutyyyy I dunno, I have talent to draw but my stupid fingers can't draw so well, if I had the hands of Picasso it doesn't mean that Picasso wasn't a great artist. I would wager that the bot who can play a gold violin like a master can perform the holophone
@@dannybob42 I mean that’s an entire philosophical discussion on whether talent can be innate or if it’s purely a learned skill. For example someone could have the innate talent of Picasso but have a disability that makes them unable to pick up a paintbrush, according to the position the episode takes.
um actually, in the opening question you say that wesley returns to florin to save buttercup, but that part actually takes place in gilder, he doesnt return to florin until he is taken there as a prisoner by prince humperdink.
I am a jeweler. So D - Z happened because A - C used be used by random diamond graders but it all ment different things based off where you got thebstine . when it was standardized they switched to the new system so people wouldn't confused it with the old grading style. D - Z through is more specific and more accurate then the old. D is a colorless diamond and Z is borderline fancy color. Once you get past z they get more valuable as the true intense color diamonds are hard to find. A - C are still used but for gemstones like sapphires, ruby, etc. Clarity - FL stands for flawless and as you go down in grading the letters in front stand for how aggresious the inclusions, or flaws, are. I3 = included level 3 think like those icy walmarts diamond studs for 50 bucks
Um actually, in Stardew Valley, you don't have to rebuild the bridge on the beach. There are several exploits in a multitude of Stardew Versions that will allow you to get the Pendant without the bridge, including clipping out of bounds and walking around the bridge, and spawning the item in with the plethora of item-spawn glitches. For Example, if you name your character [460] you will get a Mermaid Pendant any time any NPC says your name in dialogue. This can also be used to get the Bouquet without Pierre.
"In Avatar the last airbender, while captain Zhao engages the northern water fleet Iroh and Zuko leave to capture the avatar" "Um actually Captain Zhao was promoted to admiral at that point" "Er no sorry this is avatar the last airbender the movie not the anime"
I’ve heard about the Avatar idea but I think it would be fun if it was different IPs but the worst version, so like the Avatar and Dragonball live action movies, Star Wars prequels, stuff like that
Um actually, Scott Pilgrim doesn’t really defeat Gideon with the power of Self Respect because that sword gets destroyed too. He defeats Gideon with teamwork between him, Knives, and Ramona
um, actually Rikers response wasn't that he would take everyone it was that he would take both females on. I believe his actual quote was "One or Both?"
Um, actually, isn't Buttercup in Guilder when he kidnaps her back? I know he does eventually return to Florin but the question makes it seem like he's kidnapping her there.
Um actually, Your Name definitely wasn't the highest grossing Japanese film. Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Train is the highest grossing Japanese film, but even if the question was written before Mugen Train came out, Spirited Away grossed more than Your Name.
So, uh. I do this BDSM stuff for reals. Saltzman is very correct. The stuff in 50 Shades is *not* safe. In fact most of it is borderline abuse, if not outright abuse. Put the book in the trash, goto a munch, learn from actual dominants. In terms of being a dominant, Grey is absolutely horrible at it as well, your first job, your only real job, is ensuring safety, which he fails at in its entirety with these incredibly unsafe sessions.
Yeah, I feel like BDSM has 3 Cs as rules, though I don't personally do it, but I've gotten a general understanding. But I've forgotten what I coined as them in shower thoughts. Consent is definitely a big one, as well as safety...or...some word that begins with C. And the 3rd one...comprehension, maybe? Getting society to understand better about it and not just the pop culture depictions
@@ThisIsAigle That may have actually been the acronym I heard at a panel that I wish was done again at the cons I went to (though maybe it wasn't received well or they couldn't make the time after a while to present it)
David Kerns, the Achilles question gave me flashbacks to our Humanities class in high school. When you gave your answer, I thought, “Yeah, he’s right!”
Um actually, Fry and Leela are married once before the series finally (when fry moves the stars themselves) but get divorced during the time skip episode.
on stardew valley IIRC most of the npcs are alright with gay relationships, one exception is George who if you marry his grandson Alex as a male character will say "“How can two men get married? It's unnatural... Hmmph. I guess I'm just "old fashioned"...” but later (when George is at 10 hearts) he says "I'll admit, I thought it was... strange... for two men to be together. But you're such a nice young man, and I know you two are in love... I've changed my mind.”
I'd love to see the April fool's episode, except broaden it so the questions are about all sorts of Live Action adaptations of animated properties. Death Note, Mulan, Avatar
Um actually, Diamond cut has 5 different grades between excellent and poor not numerical. and the clarity is if I recall correctly FL-VVS1-VVS2-VS1-VS2-IS1-IS2-I1-I2-I3 standing for flawless ,very very small inclusions, very small inclusions, inclusions see (or something like it ) and Industry. (not going. form fl to fl2 to I). all of this is according to the GIA grading system which is the standard in the world today.
Um, actually in the novel it says Prince Humperdink can't marry a common subject, so they make her Princess of Hammersmith, Goldman tells us in the "Good Parts" abridgement that S Morgenstern spent 72 pages in this chapter to recount Buttercup's training to be a princess. So yes, she didn't start out as a princess, but she is one by the time she's ever kidnapped. Also as people have already stated here. Um, actually Wesley did not return to Florin and abduct Buttercup because at this point they were actually in Guilder.
Um actually, Wesley does not return to Florin at the start. They are on a ship in a body of water between Florin and Guildar when they first see Wesley. By the time Wesley catches up, they have already landed in Guildar. There is no direct evidence that Wesley reaches Florin. On the other hand, there is never a very good explanation as to how Wesley knew what they were up to and managed to show up at the right time. So Maybe he was in Florin and saw them. But then why did he let them get on the boat? So really, he never returns to Florin until much later in the movie when he is captured by the six fingered man.
Also, um actually, there really isn’t any indication that Buttercup isn’t a princess. She certainly wasn’t born a princess. But it’s not impossible that being betrothed to the crown prince comes with the title of princess. Considering Humperdinck publicly introduces her as Princess Buttercup and royalty is generally very fixated on titles, this is actually the most likely explanation. Also, it’s fairly clear that she is the titular character. So she is a princess, even if she wasn’t born a princess.
If we use the book (and it's fair that we're not, because she's a princess in the book before her wedding),there's a bit that talks about the Man in Black, with "flashing gray eyes" listens to the engagement pronouncement with anger in his heart from a dark corner of the royal courtyard place. So, he's definitely in Florin at some point and is just keeping tabs on Buttercup, I think.
Um actually Fry did learn to play it with his own hands in the same episode with the parasitic worms (though you could certainly argue that it was the worms doing that, but regardless it was without robot hands).
Um Actually Fry himself was never good at playing the instrument technically he was only able to play under the influence of the worms or the use of the robot devils hands when he makes a deal to switch hands.
RIGHT!! that futurama one had me jumping out of my seat lol, because 1. he didn’t get infected by the worms on purpose 2. he was never “good” at playing the instrument nor did he learn how to properly play it; he just made a deal with the Robot Devil to borrow his arm for the concert 3. Fry and Leela DID get married in the series finale, but they’re technically reverted to their pre-married selves when the professor breaks them out of their frozen reality, which kind of creates a Schrödinger’s marriage situation (Fry and Leela are simultaneously married AND yet-to-be-married, so saying that they are one or the other would be both true and false)
there is an incredibly high resolution profile of a face that appears on Saltzman's right shoulder @20:40 for a few frames, you might need to scroll frame by frame to see it
Um Actually, diamond cut grading is from Excellent or Ideal to Poor. Also, most diamonds are now sourced through the Kimberly Process which is the industry standard for obtaining conflict free diamonds. As well as millennials are purchasing lab grown diamonds for cheaper pricing.
Funny, it's Sant Jordi right now, the Catalonian version of Valentine's day, so this is actually thematic ally appropriated for us today, perfect timing! The fact our holiday is themed around books (and roses, but whatev) makes it even better.
Damn it Trapp! Say spoilers BEFORE the thing you spoil >.< Got to the Your Name question, started thinking it's about time I watch that... BOOM! Spoiled.
it's been several months but if you haven't seen it yet (or to everyone else in your position), i still got a lot out of the movie even knowing that part of the story
Also in stardew valley, having a gay relationship changes dialogue with one npc specifically, only if you romance Alex. The dialogue is his grandfather, George, who says, “How can two men get married? It's unnatural... Hmmph. I guess I'm just "old fashioned"...”
until you reach 10 hearts with him, where it becomes,
“I'll admit, I thought it was... strange... for two men to be together. But you're such a nice young man, and I know you two are in love... I've changed my mind.”
Give this old man enough leeks and fried mushrooms and he'll become Not Homophobic.

it was... and also mostly inaccurate
Um, Actually I have another correction for the first question. Westley doesn't return to Florin to kidnap Buttercup. They had sailed across the sea to Guilder to frame Guilder. He travels to Guilder to get Buttercup back, though the rest of the story takes place in Florin.

@@tlmaster1 I think implying that she WOULD be a princess after their marriage? So the peasants had better get used to the idea!! Haha
Wow good catch
Um Actually: Patroclus is not immediately killed by Hector after donning Achilles' armor. Patroclus manages to kill a bunch of Trojans then kill Sarpedon, who is a son of Zeus, before Apollo removes his wits and he is wounded by Euphorbos. Then Hector kills him.

Fry had innate talent with the Holophonor but suffered from “stupid fingers”. The robot devil didn’t make him good at the holophonor, trading hands just gave Fry the ability to fully express his talent.
"You're gonna have to get in there."
"Like Bigfoot. Got it."
Such a lovely "that's what she said" moment right there, and so easy to miss if you're not paying attention. Well played Becca :)
Um Actually, for the Stardew Valley question: Apart from there being more requirements, the wedding doesn't always happen in 3 days. The wedding ceremony does not take place on a day that another event takes place in the town square. In such cases, the wedding is delayed until there is a day without such an event.
Also technically you need 10 hearts to get married, with the remaining two heart slots only made available after giving your interest the bouquet. Just adding that because that’s what I thought they were going for as the answer.
@@BetaBlub yep I came here to say that too! 💜
Petition to get Brennan and Izzy on the next couples-only episode, so I can watch them completely annihilate their competition.
It's really weird how obsessed some people are with those two
OK calm your panties Brenhead, and lose your sheep mentality while you're at it!
Um actually,
1) If you read the book, Princess Buttercup attends basically princess school to be eligible to become Queen, so by all accounts she is a princess.
2) Westley first rescues/abducts Buttercup in Guilder, not Florin. It's Prince Humperdink that takes him as prisoner to Florin.
3) It's spelled "Fezzik."
Buttercup is given the title Princess of Hammersmith.
I think he was somewhere halfway between Florin and Guilder at the time.
@@jonathanross149 Yes! I was yelling at the screen on this one. In the book, they mention how Humperdinck can't marry a commoner, so they make a small portion of the Florin holdings her "kingdom" and she's titled Princess of Hammersmith.
Also, Um Actually, "The Princess Bride" is spelled that way, not "The Priness Bride".
Yes finally here are the people who realized all the problems with the first one
Um actually Patroclus isn't immediately killed by Hector. In wearing Achilles's armor and tricking the Greeks into thinking Achilles had rejoined the fighting, he managed to inspire the Greek troops (who had previously been losing the war) and turn the tides of the war in favor of the Greeks. He led the surge which saved the Greeks from losing. THEN he was killed by Hector.
While Patroclus manages to lead Achilles men and bolster the Greek army, the action itself doesn't actually turn the War in the Greeks favour (the Trojans aren't routed but retreat and Patroclus is killed after disobeying Achilles and pursuing them). Achilles actual return and subsequent killing of Hector arguably has a much larger impact. However the Greeks were not able to directly break the siege, only driving the trojans to be more defensive behind the city walls which lead to a more drawn out siege which caused the Greek alliance to grow more unstable as interest waned and time and resources were being expended. The Greeks were still not effectively winning and Agamemnon was against the clock, hence the need for Odysseus' wooden horse.
Also while Patroclus was indeed wearing Achilles armour, In Homer's Iliad it is not actually said that he was 'tricking' either Achilles own men the Myrmidons, or anyone else including the Trojans. The myrmidons would likely have known as Achilles sent Patroclus in his stead after gathering his men to keep the battle away from the ships to keep to his earlier assertion that he would not fight except to defend the boats. Also Hector is intentionally killing Patroclus rather than mistaking his identity as he is asked by Glaucus after the death and desecration of Sarpedon.
but of course this can come down to which version of the story you look at, while Homer's Iliad is often considered the definitive version, he would have been separated from the events of the story by many years and the events would have been passed on by word of mouth etc, changing every time. Many of the storytellers would have cared more for entertainment value than accuracy, hence the insertion of all the mystical aspects, and it would have even been hard at the time to get a full and accurate picture of events. Even in the write up, it was likely altered to fit better as a poem, but if you ignore the merits of historical accuracy and treat it as a story produced by Homer inspired by stories of the war you will probably have a better time.
The trill weren't wrong in their re-association taboo. It is to ensure that new hosts get to live their own lives along with the symbiotes. To allow new hosts to simply live former lives would be more parasitic as you would not have two hosts giving up their lives for two symbiotes to simply be immortal. Without a taboo on re-association you would be trapping hosts into past lives rather then allowing them to be a new unique person.
It also prevents a cluster of symbiotes amassing power through long-lived associations across generations.
What i dont get about it is why ezri was allowed to be on ds9 around all the same people?
@@bi_beans9011 From my understanding, the symbiote host is still allowed to associate with people from their old lives, but they are not allowed to have a romantic interest with previous partners. They are still allowed to talk to their previous romantic interests, but they cant be romantically involved. I also think when it came to Ezri, she didn't really have an identity for herself yet and wasnt given the proper training and integration her previous hosts were given. Sisko and the crew were able to sort of fulfill this role and serve as a s safe space/therapist/reintegrate coordinator for Ezri. But overall it sounds like Ezri was given far less attention and priority than Jadzia was by the Trill Symbiote Commission (and perhaps the writers).
It seems as useless and mundane a limit as when it was said Jedi could not have attachments. Yes, love can make you weak sometimes but it can also make you strong.
Um Actually the irony of the Bound Golem joke on Wonder Woman is that in the Golden Age, WW's weakness was getting tied up. Turns out her creator had a real bondage fetish.
As someone whose favorite Star Trek character is Jadzia Dax, I do remember that one specific DS9 episode.
Yeah! It was one of the best Dax episodes.
Same.
Um actually? She is introduced as princess buttercup before the marriage. It is never explained how she’s suddenly a princess in the movie, but in the book it’s explained that because a prince must marry a princess she is elevated in rank to princess of a tiny country.
Seeing the firefly names during the couple match made me remember that "I'm a leaf on the wind" and I'm very sad
That line will never not make me sad!
Um actually!!!! To get married in Stardew, you have to do a 3rd thing in addition to upgrading your home and accessing that part of the beach. You have to have gotten to 10 hearts with someone. Or he won’t sell you the pendant.
Um, Actually, there's an extra step you missed for getting married in Stardew Valley. In between giving the marriage candidate the bouquet and giving them the Mermaid's Pendant, you must raise your relationship level with them past 8 hearts and all the way up to 10 hearts, or else they will refuse your proposal.
Um actually, the Princess Bride question said Wesley returned to Florin to rescue Buttercup, but actually the trio had already taken her across the sea to the neighboring country of Gilder to start a war
That's what I was thinking after I figured that my answer of "Um actually, his name is Fezzik, not Fezzig." was too pedantic.
Um actually, Mitsuha does live. She is saved by some magical wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff that lets them talk and they meet as adults at the end of the film, regaining their memories and it's a happily ever after
I also feel like they're both protagonists, and the story partly takes place at the time when she was alive, so I kinda feel like the question is worded in a way where it's a valid statement
I was worried he really did spoil it, but now I find out he saved the secret ending unsaid...so YOU spoiled it :P
The beginning of the Trapp-in-studio-again era of Um, Actually.
this is the intermediate, _Trapped in the Studio but the Guests are trapped at Home Zoom Calling_ era.
Um, Actually! In Scott Pilgrim vs The World, there are 2 different versions of the ending in neither of which features the Power of Self Respect being the sole power up for victory. In the comics, Scott gains the power of Understanding, which gives him a boost and Ramona, after overcoming her taruma and deciding to embrace love and all that Gains the Power of Love(Which Scott had actually lost at this point due to shenanigans) and the Two Deliver an X Slash that kills Gideon. In the movie its a team up between Scott using the power of Self Respect and Knives teaming up to beat Gideon.
Um, actually! In the movie version, the power of Self Respect is subtly shattered during the fight and Gideon is defeated by the combination of Knives and Scott without it!
Yeah because he should of said WHICH VERSION of the same title, Like was it he Comic version or the movie version" NOT just the title of the name.
The connection between love and fire balls was already made by Jerry Lee Lewis in 1957 in his song 'Great Balls Of Fire':
"I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny
You came along and you moved me honey
I've changed my mind
This love is fine
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!"
Um acutally, in the episode "Hearts of Glory" of Star Trek TNG Riker is referring to two lady klingons when he makes the joke "one, or both?" after one of the male klingons states that the two female klingons are curious about how he would "endure them".
They'd kind of not mentioned the reason why they asked about that specific ds9 episode. Which it did contain the first star trek same sex kiss so ben is wrong that it's too early for that. The fact that kiss happened in an episode about a taboo relationship was very deliberate but obviously they used a classic star trek metaphor to tell it.
What's really fun is that in the TNG ep that introduced the Trill, the original host was killed and the symbiont was temporarily placed into Riker. Crusher started a relationship with the joined individual of Riker/symbiont and was unable to continue once a proper Trill host was provided who happened to be female. There was a big speech at the end from the joined Trill about being disappointed in Beverly for being hung up on gender in romantic relationships.
Yeah I was disappointed Trapp hadn't done enough research to pointedly reject the "too early for that" assumption. Now, I will say the writers and writing was very clearly Extremely Proud of Themselves for writing a story about taboos where the homosexuality was on screen yet was not actually the taboo, and also that a certain number of viewers felt was doing exactly the same thing as real life oppressors by using other excuses to disallow the relationship...but they still did it, at a time when apparently nobody would've thought they would, so let it be acknowledged!
Um actually Achilles wasn't sleeping he was angry at the leader of the Greek army and was wrapped in an anger burrito and told Patroclus to go out in his armor
hello, OSP fan
@@yam3946 yeah that is true but I also do study mythology
UM ACTUALLY
Westley doesn't return to Floren first in the film, he instead just chases the four of them down in Guilder.
So I thought about this as well. The kidnappers are on their way to the border, presumably of Floren but by the time Wesley gets they are are presumably still on the Floren side.
To be fair, I did not read the book which might be different. There is also a chance that because they took a boat to the Cliff’s of Insanity that those cliffs and surrounding area are not specifically in Floren.
Um actually, they also misspelled 'Princess' in the question.
Came here to say this
Um actually Robert Deniro plays a huge roll in Stardust as the captain Shakespeare who teaches both of the main characters to love who they are and be proud of that with you can be
I would have no idea what day of the week it is without this show
Critical roll: Thursday or Monday on youtube
Um actually: Friday
I still don't know what the date is because I've somehow already watched this and I don't have dropout, did I go back in time?
@@VashVicious2 I believe they have been reposting all of the ones that they had before um actually was it's own channel. But I could be wrong
UM ACTUALLY, Westley doesn't return to Florin to retrieve Buttercup from the kidnappers, he catches up with them in Guilder, the kingdom across the sea, the sworn enemy of Florin. The kidnapping is part of a plot to start a war between these two nations.
Um actually, you both don't need to give gifts to npcs to improve their hearts, but also there is a third thing you have to do before marriage, which is raise their heart meter form 8 to 10.
Um actually, while Achilles and Patrocles were definitely lovers, Achilles was sulking in his tent, not napping when Patrocles borrowed his armour...
I guess it depends on what form of the story they’ve read. There are multiple versions of it, I think.
@@Delilah_Anne Most myths come to us from multiple sources, but the main source we have for *this* myth, and the source most widely accepted in the ancient world, is Homer's Illiad. According to the Illiad, Emy is right.
Edit: well, about the sulking part. The Illiad isn't explicit about them being lovers, but later Greeks interpreted it that way.
@@stellasdoesstuff The funny thing about the Illiad is that the most famous fact about Achilles is his "heel" and that wasn't added until much later poems, and his death is never actually described in the Illiad at all. Which I always bring up when someone "um, actuallys" about them not being lovers as if theres an actual single canon. (not you specially, just in general)
@@Lowekinder yeah! Illiad is literally just about Achilles's rage -- it ends when the rage ends (sorry i know you probably know this already, I just love this stuff)
Um, actually, Prince Humperdinck does introduce her as *Princess* Buttercup while mentioning she "was once of the people", so presumably she's been proclaimed a princess in order for the marriage to a prince to be okay.
Wasn't that from the dream sequence?
@@JimMcKeeth nah that was from the first part after westley disappeared
Yeah, they made her the Princess of Hammersmith in the original story, and the question was about story not film.
And they say fezzig and it is fezzik so thats what I thought it was
@@JimMcKeeth in the dream sequence she had been made queen.
Um, actually… the Power of Self Respect only appears in the film. In the comic series, the second blade he unlocks is the Power of Understanding (which also gives him access to a new T-Shirt)
Actually, if you want to be REALLY technical, a carat used to be defined as the weight of one carob seed (which are remarkably uniform in size and weight).
In India they used to (and may still) have a similar standard for weighing gold, counted out in seeds of chirmi (rosary peas, Abrus precatorius).
You didn't say, "Um,"...😉🤭
Um actually, in the episode where fry moves suns to prove his love, the suns were moved to divert cronitions and prevent time skips where events happen normally but people don't remember what happens during them. in one of the flash forwards fry and leela actually get married and in another time skip are shown in court getting divorced. So the sentence as provided implies that they were not married at any point prior to that which they were even if only for like 10 seconds of screen time.
Also, Fry did not get good at playing the holophoner through the power of love. HE made a deal with the devil for Robot hands so he could play it well, because he sucked at it.
According to Google, the answer to why the diamond color scale starts with D is that previous scales had grades like A, AA, AAA, or otherwise, and others include B and C as well. So when the current system was invented, they had to differentiate it from the other scales, which they did by skipping any overlapping letters and starting at D.
knowing some people read the story as them as cousins, following a gilgamesh joke, just made me recall reading reviews and such on the epic. in the epic it speaks of how gilgamesh will hold enkidu like a wife and everyone always only refer to them as best friends. the meme of "and historians will call them friends..." here (humored)
Forgot that it was Marisha and not Becca on the last Valentine's episode, and was like wtf, she was with Matt last time
I had the same reaction for a second, too
the most frustrating thing about this show is when you know the answer to the question and the players can’t figure it out
especially when it’s something you’re hugely interested in
I'm so sad no one got the Stardust question, that's one of my favorite romantic fantasy movies, I rate it up near Princess Bride.
The dead prince peanut gallery immediately brought it to mind, I just could not remember DeNiro being in it. It's been a long time, gotta rewatch it for sure.
@@jerodast his scenes are fantastic! Definitely worth it
1. It's Fezzik
2. Westley returning isn't that early in the story, if we're being honest
3. By the time Westley gets to Buttercup he's not actually abducting her from anybody. Inigo and Fezzik are unconscious and Vizzini is dead. Then Buttercup throws him down a hill.
I KNOW these episodes are on massive tape delay but I'm still mad about i!
Also, they weren't in the land of Florin at this time, they were in the land of Guilder
I would 100% read a comic series called Big Nosed Gay Man.
Um Actually Fry and Leela aren't unrequited, also Um Actually there IS someone who's great at the Holophone - the Robot Devil, since Fry can create an entire opera using his hands
My Pokémon brain saw Ruby and Sapphire and I got so excited until I realised that the intent was Steven Universe...
Un Actually De Niro does have a minor role in Stardust but it is more than one scene, he's a part of a full montage part of the film
Um actually it’s explicit in the episode that Fry doesn’t get his talent from the Robot Devil, he already has talent but his “stupid fingers” are too clumsy to express it. The only thing he gets from the Robot Devil are his hands. We actually have no idea whether or not the Robot Devil can play the holophonor
@@stoutyyyy I dunno, I have talent to draw but my stupid fingers can't draw so well, if I had the hands of Picasso it doesn't mean that Picasso wasn't a great artist. I would wager that the bot who can play a gold violin like a master can perform the holophone
@@dannybob42 I mean that’s an entire philosophical discussion on whether talent can be innate or if it’s purely a learned skill. For example someone could have the innate talent of Picasso but have a disability that makes them unable to pick up a paintbrush, according to the position the episode takes.
um actually, in the opening question you say that wesley returns to florin to save buttercup, but that part actually takes place in gilder, he doesnt return to florin until he is taken there as a prisoner by prince humperdink.
The grocery clerk with half an eyelid!
Also, the Power of Love was used in “The Fifth Element”, it was used to actually activate The Fifth Element.
And it was also used in Back to the Future!
Here in Poland they translated the title of The Princess Bride to Narzeczona dla księcia - the Fiancee for the Prince.
Omg, the your name question. I was so happy that he got it right. I was saying over and over at the screen “ THEY ARE YEARS APART”
I am a jeweler. So D - Z happened because A - C used be used by random diamond graders but it all ment different things based off where you got thebstine . when it was standardized they switched to the new system so people wouldn't confused it with the old grading style. D - Z through is more specific and more accurate then the old. D is a colorless diamond and Z is borderline fancy color. Once you get past z they get more valuable as the true intense color diamonds are hard to find. A - C are still used but for gemstones like sapphires, ruby, etc.
Clarity - FL stands for flawless and as you go down in grading the letters in front stand for how aggresious the inclusions, or flaws, are. I3 = included level 3 think like those icy walmarts diamond studs for 50 bucks
Um actually, in Stardew Valley, you don't have to rebuild the bridge on the beach. There are several exploits in a multitude of Stardew Versions that will allow you to get the Pendant without the bridge, including clipping out of bounds and walking around the bridge, and spawning the item in with the plethora of item-spawn glitches. For Example, if you name your character [460] you will get a Mermaid Pendant any time any NPC says your name in dialogue. This can also be used to get the Bouquet without Pierre.

I’ve heard about the Avatar idea but I think it would be fun if it was different IPs but the worst version, so like the Avatar and Dragonball live action movies, Star Wars prequels, stuff like that
I will have none of that Prequels slander in this comment section, no sir! Not while Sequels are around!
Um, actually, Humperdinck, Vizzini, and Inigo each refer to Buttercup as Princess, as does Goldman’s script
Does David or Becca have a podcast? Their video and audio quality are surprisingly good for the COVID Zoom era.
Um actually, Scott Pilgrim doesn’t really defeat Gideon with the power of Self Respect because that sword gets destroyed too. He defeats Gideon with teamwork between him, Knives, and Ramona
I do remember that very specific Deep Space 9 episode, yes.
Um actually, love was only used to defeat Trantor, the leader of the trolls in Ernest Scared Stupid. All of the other trolls were defeated with milk.
So glad i watched your name already. Those were some film ruining spoilers and i LOVE IT
um, actually Rikers response wasn't that he would take everyone it was that he would take both females on. I believe his actual quote was "One or Both?"
I love the use of Robert’s Rules of Order 5:36
I'm so happy there was a Your Name question because it's my favorite movie of all time
The scott pilgrim one is basically the only one I know. Favorite movie ever.
this show is so much fun
Um Actually, Westley first arrives in Guilder, the sworn enemy of Florin, while chasing the three kidnappers.
This episode needed more Elyse Willems (and James too I guess)
Um, actually, isn't Buttercup in Guilder when he kidnaps her back? I know he does eventually return to Florin but the question makes it seem like he's kidnapping her there.
Um actually, Your Name definitely wasn't the highest grossing Japanese film. Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Train is the highest grossing Japanese film, but even if the question was written before Mugen Train came out, Spirited Away grossed more than Your Name.
I think it would be more accurate to say Your Name was the highest grossing film in Japan in 2016.
@@dozer11 That would have been correct and more specific
I like Trapp yelling spoilers spoilers spoilers after saying the spoil hahaha
Me screaming at my tv he “gained the power of self respect!” Not weird at all.
So, uh. I do this BDSM stuff for reals. Saltzman is very correct. The stuff in 50 Shades is *not* safe. In fact most of it is borderline abuse, if not outright abuse. Put the book in the trash, goto a munch, learn from actual dominants.
In terms of being a dominant, Grey is absolutely horrible at it as well, your first job, your only real job, is ensuring safety, which he fails at in its entirety with these incredibly unsafe sessions.
Getting your Sex Ed from porn is always going to cause problems.
as Dom Noble referred to it, "50 Shades of Physical and Emotional Abuse"
Yeah, I feel like BDSM has 3 Cs as rules, though I don't personally do it, but I've gotten a general understanding. But I've forgotten what I coined as them in shower thoughts. Consent is definitely a big one, as well as safety...or...some word that begins with C. And the 3rd one...comprehension, maybe?

Um actually, Fry and Leela are married once before the series finally (when fry moves the stars themselves) but get divorced during the time skip episode.
Excited to see one so early
on stardew valley IIRC most of the npcs are alright with gay relationships, one exception is George who if you marry his grandson Alex as a male character will say "“How can two men get married? It's unnatural... Hmmph. I guess I'm just "old fashioned"...” but later (when George is at 10 hearts) he says "I'll admit, I thought it was... strange... for two men to be together. But you're such a nice young man, and I know you two are in love... I've changed my mind.”
I was looking for this comment. It's one of the more interesting interactions in that game.
I'd love to see the April fool's episode, except broaden it so the questions are about all sorts of Live Action adaptations of animated properties. Death Note, Mulan, Avatar
Um actually, Diamond cut has 5 different grades between excellent and poor not numerical. and the clarity is if I recall correctly FL-VVS1-VVS2-VS1-VS2-IS1-IS2-I1-I2-I3 standing for flawless ,very very small inclusions, very small inclusions, inclusions see (or something like it ) and Industry. (not going. form fl to fl2 to I). all of this is according to the GIA grading system which is the standard in the world today.
Um, actually in the novel it says Prince Humperdink can't marry a common subject, so they make her Princess of Hammersmith, Goldman tells us in the "Good Parts" abridgement that S Morgenstern spent 72 pages in this chapter to recount Buttercup's training to be a princess. So yes, she didn't start out as a princess, but she is one by the time she's ever kidnapped.
Also as people have already stated here. Um, actually Wesley did not return to Florin and abduct Buttercup because at this point they were actually in Guilder.
Um actually, Wesley does not return to Florin at the start. They are on a ship in a body of water between Florin and Guildar when they first see Wesley. By the time Wesley catches up, they have already landed in Guildar. There is no direct evidence that Wesley reaches Florin. On the other hand, there is never a very good explanation as to how Wesley knew what they were up to and managed to show up at the right time. So
Maybe he was in Florin and saw them. But then why did he let them get on the boat? So really, he never returns to Florin until much later in the movie when he is captured by the six fingered man.
YES! Also, Um actually it’s, “Fezzik” not Fezzig.
Also, um actually, there really isn’t any indication that Buttercup isn’t a princess. She certainly wasn’t born a princess. But it’s not impossible that being betrothed to the crown prince comes with the title of princess. Considering Humperdinck publicly introduces her as Princess Buttercup and royalty is generally very fixated on titles, this is actually the most likely explanation. Also, it’s fairly clear that she is the titular character. So she is a princess, even if she wasn’t born a princess.
If we use the book (and it's fair that we're not, because she's a princess in the book before her wedding),there's a bit that talks about the Man in Black, with "flashing gray eyes" listens to the engagement pronouncement with anger in his heart from a dark corner of the royal courtyard place. So, he's definitely in Florin at some point and is just keeping tabs on Buttercup, I think.
I had considered that maybe they were referring to the book since I never read it, but it’s good to know that the question must be about the movie.
My go to answer to the highest grossing anime film would be spirited away
Um actually fry technically didn't learn to play it, he switched hands with the robot devil who's hands could perform it perfectly.
Um actually Fry did learn to play it with his own hands in the same episode with the parasitic worms (though you could certainly argue that it was the worms doing that, but regardless it was without robot hands).

Um Actually Fry himself was never good at playing the instrument technically he was only able to play under the influence of the worms or the use of the robot devils hands when he makes a deal to switch hands.
RIGHT!! that futurama one had me jumping out of my seat lol, because
1. he didn’t get infected by the worms on purpose
2. he was never “good” at playing the instrument nor did he learn how to properly play it; he just made a deal with the Robot Devil to borrow his arm for the concert
3. Fry and Leela DID get married in the series finale, but they’re technically reverted to their pre-married selves when the professor breaks them out of their frozen reality, which kind of creates a Schrödinger’s marriage situation (Fry and Leela are simultaneously married AND yet-to-be-married, so saying that they are one or the other would be both true and false)
