Gravik’s plan has been over-the-top stupid from the start, and he rules by fear alone. Christ what a waste.

Just brings me to Week 9 of the “Miranda could have solved all of this with the open relationship that Che and Steve were both cool with” vigil.

Netflix also offered cheaper subscription tiers at the same time. (Which I haven’t even actually experienced, I still have people across the country using my UHD tier.)

The more diverse a show is, typically the more popular it is. This has been a well-known fact of television for about fifteen years.

“We overcounted the deaths!!! It’s just a coincidence that 25% more people died during covid due to random reasons that had nothing to do with covid and only during covid.”

The guitar is the symbol. The guitar is what made Ellie stop being skeptical of Joel. It was his promise to her and an expression of love that made her initial skepticism during her intro in Part 2 become absolute acceptance.

This is an interesting take, because I played the game on release and remember all of the press and all of the discussion and these seem to miss 99% of what annoyed people.

I barely got to play this game before I packed up my gaming PC. And now that I’m ready to get back into it, they’ve made the game alternately more playable and then less playable on any given second.

Oppenheimer wasn’t against the dropping of the bomb, and he actually covered up the effects of radiation in order to justify the use of nukes. But he was against the dropping of a second bomb because he thought it was pointless.

I was playing this up until the early access version’s storyline ended months ago and was really early into Diablo before I started moving. I haven’t even finished unpacking my computer in the last few weeks, so between this glowing release and the massive changes coming through for Diablo I’m kind of mind-boggled at…

Considering the reviews for it, only 35% of critics and 29% of audiences thought Watchmen wasn’t cool. This is a pretty milquetoast observation.

The first Captain Marvel had the benefit of being the last MCU movie to release before Endgame, and I think a lot of people went into that movie only to see how it would set up Endgame.

Miyazaki’s anti-capitalism evolves into its penultimate form.

That war between mutants and Inhumans was just a cynical attempt to accommodate the TV MCU’s Perlmutter-era love of Inhumans anyway.

Microsoft has been trailing Sony for some time now and while I wish it was done via an internal push for more and better first party entries, them having additional massive franchises under their belt will help prevent Sony from resting on their laurels. If 3rd place is always 3rd, why do 1st & 2nd even need to try…

Eh, I don’t know. Microsoft and its subsidiaries have made/are making virtually nothing I want personally.

The original Aladdin made 504 million. They racebent the Genie in the remake and made 1.05 billion. So, 1:2 original to remake conversion after racebending. If you adjust for inflation, racebending the story added 102 million to the box office.

It’s not like The Little Mermaid was all that popular. It made half what Beauty and the Beast did in theaters and the remake is doing half what the Beauty and the Beast remake did in theaters. Disney flipped it for easy cash and is moving on.

Having written that, I do think trusting that the second half of this current season would see some bounce in viewership is a bit misguided as, if anything, your probably going to see a bigger drop as some part of the viewership gives up after the first half.

Finally paying off that Crystal/Quicksilver relationship exploration dynamic... or it would have if they hadn’t unmutanted Quicksilver.
