Sorry, this illogical. People can be both incredible at things AND assholes. This story and movie are so good exactly because Whedon is a great movie maker even if he is also an asshole. This movie given to someone else would have been totally different and likely nowhere near as good. 

Pine sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. But I’m not sure that I agree that “Star Trek is doing pretty good in television right now.” It’s doing… “ok” at best.

Filoni wrote the lion’s share of The Clone Wars. He’s probably done more to add to the overarching mythology and cosmology of the franchise than any other creator except Lucas.

I mean... they can have games that feature political turmoil from the characters and setting, without trying to make some sort of grand political statement about the real world.

But I guess that kind of nuance is a bit difficult for some of the contributors around here, who would rather just post reactionary news…

To be fair, most of the franchises that have shown up have basically already turned themselves into jokes long before showing up in MK.

Between the novels, comics, AvP franchise and all that, the canon is entirely thrown out the window. Clearly Scott feels the story is his to write regardless of earlier story elements, including from his own films (which to be fair, is technically true, but does make the story less satisfying for the audience).

Gunship 2000 and F15 Strike Eagle 2 was where it was at. and M1 Tank Platoon, that game was awesome also.  I would love to see the three of those brought up to modern times.

Pass. Crichton’s movies and books are entertainment’s fast food with a stale aftertaste.

Haha, yeah I’m back in school finishing off an MA, and if you want to feel a thousand spend your days 100% surrounded by gen Z.

Me too. Most such movies of kids doing a lot of drugs and drinking and having a lot of sex just serve to remind me how not-within-100-miles of being invited to those sorts of parties I was a kid. And I resent it.

I’ll talk to my pharmacist to see if he can get this flavor for the soda fountain. I have my doubts though — he’s addicted to laudanum and the upkeep of his shop has seriously fallen by the wayside. 

You know, as much as people keep talking about how Starfleet has become darker and the Federation in general has lost its utopian nature, I keep noticing how the setting wasn’t really ever as “utopian” as people seem to think. I mean sure, DS9 really foregrounded some of the less savory elements of the Federation, and…

Would it kill her to accept an ounce of blame for running a piss-poor campaign and condemning us all to 4-8 years of Trump? Fuck her and the corporate funded jet she flew in on. She’s was and is part of the problem and the best thing she can do to be part of the solution is to go get lost in the woods again.

Even though I am a fan of the series (Discovery excluded) the only Star Trek movie I really enjoyed was Wrath of Khan. That being said, if they got a good writer (like Alex Garland) I could totally go for a Borg origin story movie.

Oh give it a rest you condescending idiot, of course I know what a jrpg is. There are dozens from the FF games the Asdivine games (and about a million other Kemco games), Valkyria games, Pier Solar, the Ys games, wonderflick, unsung story, stranger of sword city, sword online, tales of arise, etc.... There are tons,…

‘It is the laziest shit ever made.’

Boba needs a scene where he’s buying a discount jetpack, and the merchant says, “Hey buddy, you know those X-38 Jetpacks are pretty unreliable. In fact, some have been known to spontaneously ignite if you treat ‘em too rough...” And Boba just cocks his eyebrow and replies, “Don’t worry about me, I can handle myself.”

Hard copies are important for preservation and continued availability. Look at delistedgames.com or try to play PT if you want to see how a digital-only distribution system is flawed.

Right there with you.
