Right. The GameCube routinely had better graphics on multiplats than the PS2 but lagged behind the Xbox. The discs weren’t the issue. Do people consider the N64 a failure? That was a little before I started following games online so I don’t know how it was received overall but it’s the system me and all of my friends owned and it’s hands down my favorite console of all time. I knew it lagged behind the PlayStation in sales but I didn’t think it was regarded as a failure.

Huh I had it completely backwards haha. Granted I’m only halfway through book 2. I pictured Moraine as tall and ethereal kinda like Galadriel. And I guess I pictured Lan like Aragorn. Rand I knew was very tall and athletically built. Matt smaller and more slender and Perrin normal tall and built like a linebacker. So at least I got the three boys right lol. although I guess based on the cover of the first book I should have guessed I was way off on Moraine 😂

Really? I certainly didn’t picture him the way they cast him but I didn’t picture him as some mountain of a man. Just kinda a standard Knight type character. Built like a less pretty Jamie Lannister or something

Which explains why they keep grabbing every new generation as well. Pure nostalgia machine.

Because they’re the GOATs and they figured out several generations ago how to carve out a niche so they don’t have to compete directly with Sony and MS. They make amazingly fun games that are generally always bug free and have little to no competition in the space they’re in. I also believe they don’t sell their hardware at a loss. Although that maybe have changed with the Switch. I’m not sure.

I’m probably in the minority in thinking Val would have been great as Morpheus.

Correct. But this is the Capt America 4 thread haha

Did they fix they embarrassingly awful gameplay? No? Cool I’m still good then.

how bout neither!

I’m in the boat of “just let the older characters go” for the most part I have ZERO desire in any stories around new characters taking on the mantle of an older hero. With the exception of Miles Morales and Spider-Man.

No, it isn’t.

this is also me 100%

At this point I only really find the fantastical weird Marvel stuff interesting so I’ll probably skip this. But cool that they’re doing it.

Certainly sounds good. Awesome that it got a good budget right off the bat. Everything from the photos looks great. I will say I pictured Moraine looking a bit more ethereal than she does in that cover photo but that’s probably just on me haha

Not really

Great, now this has me thinking of how a John Wick/Highlander crossover would be the unquestioned GOAT

your suspicion is correct

That looks fantastic!

I agree with all of this

The irony of you posting this is wonderfully spectacular

Being hung drawn and quartered always seemed peak unpleasant to me

Man of Steel is better than both 👀

That…irritates me greatly. I’m all for artistic license but it’s an already great story with a great twist/moral. It’s literally timeless. Chopping off the true ending so people can “interpret for themselves” just comes across as pretentious.

do you have to be defensive about every single thing

Absolutely loved it. I don’t think it’s any more violent than most action movies but it’s way gorier in what they show. Sometimes it’s gross, sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s awesome, and sometimes it’s kinda existential? It’s almost like a class in violence haha. I don’t think it’s a fault that it’s mostly silly/crazy and then it pulls you in to care for a little bit before going right back to being silly because that’s who those characters are at their core and it also earns those brief emotional moments. At the end of the day, like the movie or not, it’s another DC movie that’s infinitely more interesting and memorable than anything Marvel has photocopied lately.
