  1. Well even if you're not looking any movie stills, the canon's moneylenders/bankers being treasure obsessed, hook nosed goblins is not subtle
  2. I don't think Elon appreciates how profitable scams are if he thinks $100 is a barrier to entry to anyone who's serious about them. This man is just terminally stupid.
  3. This has never been subtle: It really is. The game’s not out but assuming the plot is what has been teased, it’s wild.
  4. The goblins in HP are obvious stand ins for Jewish stereotypes and the game apparently revolves around them teaming up with evil wizards to take over the world. Shit is completely unhinged.
  5. Shouldn’t the Utah state flag be a 16 year old getting cosmetic surgery?
  6. It's 2 things: 1) enemies will spawn behind me with no sound and no clues that they're there until they're either about to hit me, or if it's those lil tentacle head guys, their projectiles damage me 2) I'll kill all visible enemies in a room, the combat music will stop, but not all the enemies will be actually be dead and I'll get punched while I'm looting or moving a battery around or something It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen often enough to be annoying. I'm playing on Hard now, if i was on Impossible I'd be pissed.
  7. This show was on the air for 13 seasons??? I would have guessed 6 or 7. I really enjoy what I've seen of it which I assumed was most but I suppose I was way off.
  8. I'm completely fine with the encounters, environments, and mobs being dynamic based on whatever vibes the game feels like it should throw my way. Getting clipped by an enemy that I was given zero clue was there does not make the experience more intense, it makes it more annoying. If you're going to use musical to signal me that the room is clear, do it consistently. Some of those little fuckers are mobile and tiny, it's not fun to sprint around like a lunatic in a room I'm 90% sure is clear.
  9. A few minutes ago the characters had a conversation about AI advances and the entire chat started screaming about pulling the plug, it was great.

  11. A buddy of mine who raises chickens has always said that if you started to poach a stone and an egg laying hen at the same time, the stone would be ready to eat first.
  12. There's a difference between Thanos tasking someone he believes loyal to bring a stone to him vs. him willingly giving away one of the things he's actively looking to collect. Again, none of the early shit fits, Thor at some point is aware of and actively looking for Infinity Stones but doesn't know the aether is one when it's taken over Jane? Which is totally fine, that's the point. I think putting a director at the helm of something like this is a horrible idea in general. Kevin Feige was just... built for this. Dude's wikipedia page is like 5 paragraphs long. And say what you will about the vibes of the MCU, they're built for mass consumption, they're like the Cheetos of movies. Snyder and Gunn? I... don't know that they have it in them to temper their indulgent instincts? Which is GREAT for a show like Peacemaker or pretty good for something like 300. I don't think you can plan a connected universe around that.
  13. It seems pretty unlikely that Thanos would just… hand an Infinity Stone to Loki given everything that happened in Infinity War. But you know, it worked to have them retcon the scepter to be one them, but it worked for Age of Ultron and The Infinity War / Endgame so who fucking cares.
  14. The answer is so obviously this. Everyone keeps slurping the MCU’s continuity but: 1) It serves such a smaller part of the audience than people realize 2) It’s smoke and mirrors They photoshopped Jake Gyllenal into a bunch of Iron Man shit he wasn’t actually in and body swapped Nick Fury who’s apparently been off-earth for years for, as of right now, no fucking reason. Maybe make one Superman movie that doesn’t eat shit before you worry about him and Apollo punching one another, my god.
  15. I mean I just don’t know that there’s a huge market for this: You’re not going to outdo The Boys, so I have no fucking clue why they’d bring The Authority into the mix. I like Gunn’s style; Guardians have been great and I like Peacemaker a ton. But the latter works as a palette cleanser, you can’t have that vibe be the foundation on which you’re gonna build the whole house. So much of this whole scene reminds me of reading Wizard back in the 90’s. There was a lot of hand wringing about why comics like Shi were outselling Superman and what could be done about that. And the answer is maybe… nothing? Maybe Superman doesn’t put as many asses in seats as people might want? I dunno. They’re talking about rocket ships to Mars but they haven’t put a satellite into orbit yet. It’s weird.
  16. Continuing to chase the MCU’s coattails after what will be almost 20 years of failure is such a weird move.
