No I dismissed the concept of superhero fatigue. I also didn’t posit any sort of fatigue as a reason for lowered box offices. Its not about fatigue at all.

And yet another group of people has bought into their own hype so much they’ve become the principle Chalmers “no its the kids that are wrong” meme.

I haven’t played much of the games myself (just not my style of RPG)...

I don’t mind an energy source less ‘technologically advanced’ than nuclear fission. Burning fuel to power your spaceship? Sure. Chemical engines have always been a thing. Steam even. Great. Hell nuclear uses steam. We’re all good there.

It’s a focused story on the buildup to and the final battle. No plot divergences. No tangents. No side plots. Just a tightly focused...and while it is tightly focused it manages to not balance the emphasis (time/setup/development) of any of the pieces of said plot at all.

I went in just to see where this went. I expected it to be at least on level with the previous one, which I didn’t think was good mind you, and yet somehow he managed to dig deep and disappoint on every single level.

The story where Cyclops and Storm fight over leadership over the X-Men is one of the best stories. And they should have used it.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say there?

Yeah the point of the exercise, extrapolated from what they actually did, wasn’t a test of if it could win. It was a test of can it safely handle an air frame in real world conditions while doing BFM (basic flight maneuvers) to satisfactory levels.

It’s the fact that Ororo deciding to go back to the X-Men and lead them, despite having no powers at all, is a huge thing for her and she defeats Cyclops without her powers and it’s freaking awesome. But we won’t get that.

James, at some point you’re going to have to come to terms with the fact that this is an adaptation, and that the contexts those comics came out of and the context of the show are fundamentally different things.

Mostly true. I mean its still proven to be entirely ineffective and largely harmful to the platforms. But its not ‘fee is too low’ as to why it won’t work.

Again, Moldaver exposition dump made it seem like Lucy’s mother was responsible for the forming of Shady Sands, but it just didn’t make sense.

I think that’s a consequence of perspective. Our perspective was of Cooper, a wealthy actor in LA, who he and everyone around him were largely trying to avoid the reality of things going on. We barely got brief snipets of the wider situation.

I don’t like the idea that they actually triggered it on an otherwise healthy-ish society.

The funny thing about that is that the humor that everyone remembers Fallout for only really shows up in Fallout 2. Its not really there, not like people remember it, in Fallout. Not that there wasn’t humor in Fallout, but the humor everyone remembers comes from Fallout 2. And the show certainly nails the balance.

I mean its hard to disbar someone in Texas who’s not legally allowed to practice law but...

You managed to leave out the best moment of the deposition.

A 4.7 in an area where things are constructed around the idea of ‘these things occur regularly’ won’t cause much damage.
