Which is exactly what said in one of the documents from the recent Insomniac leak:
Speaking as someone who is playing Spider-Man 2 right now, I can definitely answer that question with "absolutely not in the least."
Spider-Man 2 is absolutely great... and its budget is completely batshit both in a vacuum and in comparison to the original game.
-
It’s more than just COVID stuff, shit is wildly more expensive than it needs to be. Spider-Man 2 shouldn’t have cost 1/3 of a billion dollars while being 3X more expensive than the first game in a relatively short amount of time between them. That’s just not sustainable and there’s no way that money was spent on anything other than chasing increasingly diminishing terms, to say nothing of the fact that it still ended up being the buggiest AAA game I have ever played. Its success was perhaps inevitable to some extent but the extent of it was not, and that trajectory just isn’t sustainable. And you can’t layoff your way to continued profitability when your budget is $300M+. No doubt there’s fat to trim when it comes to actual jobs but at that scale it’s not just the number of employees.

Second counter-point: Balut in the Philippines
I had balut in Vietnam. It's not as bad as it looks? That said I told a Filipino friend of mine I had it and they looked at me like I was insane, so...

I have never seen Wicked, but I know its rep among musical theater heads is that it falters in the second act. Kinda funny that they're splitting it into two movies with that in mind.

Swift is to the right what Musk is to the left: A person that used to be (and ought to still be!) squarely in their camp, but they've become sellouts. At the same time, I don't think Swift would be so anti-conservative if they weren't so anti-Swift to begin with. It's a bit of a vicious cycle.
The notion Swift has sold out is strange to me. Country music is wildly lucrative for top performers so I don't think there's any logic behind that position beyond circular.
Besides, I don't think "conservatives" are anti-Swift broadly, it's just a vocal group of chucklefucks. You just can't get to her level of popularity while alienating people who vote Republican, people who touch grass simply do not give a shit about most of the Fox Cinematic Universe alleged culture war.
Lamentably, this is likely true for Elon as well; Teslas are generally popular, people think Space X is cool, etc. However and fortunately for those of us with discriminating taste, Elon has perhaps never touched grass in his miserable fucking life and he very obviously cares deeply about what the chronically online feel about him.

What do Republicans have against Swift? I'm not following that at all.
Some of them assume she's a gold digger for going after an NFL player which is hilarious. She endorsed Biden in 2020, she "sold out" by not staying exclusively country, she's spoken out against laws that target the LGBT+ community, etc. It's people who claim to hate identity politics shitting on her for not matching up with what they believe her political identity should be.

Even if someone isn't ever going to vote for a Democrat, Trump has literally nothing going for him beyond vibes. That's it. His big campaign promises were building a wall along the entire southern border that Mexico would pay for (OLO), repealing Obamacare with something better (OLO), resolving the Israel / Palestine conflict (OLO), and a tax cut for the wealthy. That's a bad batting average, and the tax shit is you know... also bad.
Unless you've got a hard on for policies that specifically favor the wealthy, what does Trump bring to the table beyond the mere vibes of owning the libs? And if that's what gets you to the polls, just fucking own it, who cares. But get the fuck out of here with this concern about Biden's cognitive decline as if Trump's brain worms haven't been running the show since he was on The Apprentice, please.

The entire game of pro football at this point is designed around maximizing the potential for advertising and letting fans eat nachos, the notion that < 2 minutes of gazing at the majesty that is Taylor Swift is somehow ruining football is incredible. God willing there will be a SwiftZone channel.

Curious what you mean specifically.
I think it would have been really easy to have Kamala and Carol be frenemies or rivals or set up some "never meet your heroes" kind of scenario. Not that there's anything wrong with those per se, but it's surprisingly uncommon to just let female characters be friends.

Gina Carano Sues Disney Over The Mandalorian Firing, Elon Musk Funding Lawsuit
WWW.COMINGSOON.NET
Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination after she was fired from her role in the Star Wars series The Mandalorian.
As I said on the entertainment board, I highly encourage people to read the full filing. It’s hilarious, and a full 50% of it is screenshots of people being mean to her on twitter.

Gina Carano Sues Disney Over ‘Mandalorian’ Firing In Lawsuit Funded by Elon Musk
WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM
The actress claims the entertainment giant discriminated against her for voicing right-wing opinions on hot-button issues.Truly a perfect union of assholes.
I fully encourage everyone to read the entire court filing.
You may think to yourself, WHOA TEHRE KAL, I’M NOT PART OF THE D1P LEGAL TEAM, CALM DOWN, I’M NOT READING 60 PAGES.
To that I say… the first two are mainly Star Wars references and at least 50% of it is screenshots of people being mean to Carano on twitter. It’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

The smaller hotels we stayed in diyrobf our trip to Vietnam all had signs explaining what not to do or bring. They varied from spot to spot but the two things that were always on them were durian and sex workers.
