Are we even reading the same article? There is literally not a single line in this piece that discusses the commercial viability of the film. Everything mentioned is about the reception it received and the response from fans and critics who didn’t enjoy it.

But this piece isn’t discussing whether or not the film is successful, so most of your post is a moot point.

I mean, the manga/anime isn’t exactly a literary masterpiece. It’s a mediocre shonen manga with a few decent plot elements and a nice art style. Unless the live action film were to fix the numerous flaws that’re also present in the source material, it stands to reason that it would suffer from those same problems as…

Superb was perhaps an exaggeration and I agree the anatomy is wonky in some places. However, if we judge it as an entire product and not just a few isolated incidents (find me one anime that doesn’t have a few bizarre frames), the show looks incredibly nice. Meanwhile, DBS looks pretty cheap at all times.

I’m really disappointed both with the animation and the pacing of the show. Between Dragon Ball Kai and Sailor Moon Crystal, they set the bar pretty high by cleaning their respective series up and cutting out all the nonsense and SM Crystal looks superb to boot (aside from those wonky 3D transformations). DB Super…

replay.gg While replays aren’t an innate part of League’s client, they’re available to basically anyone who would be interested in them. It’s not like they don’t exist at all in any capacity.

Riot has slowly been weeding out ‘boring’ elements from League of Legends over the years. This isn’t done specifically for viewership/esports, but it has a similar effect. They remove passive abilities that give free stats because its non-interactive. (e.g., the champion is strong because they have X values; not…

I really dislike their stance on not making a sandbox mode. I mean, conceptually, I understand what they’re saying. They don’t want players to feel obligated to ‘practice’ the game to get good at it. They want people to play the game and naturally improve. In an ideal world, this would be the best possible solution,…

If you ignore the “she’s not hot enough” comments, there are some justifiable criticisms. Firstly, Fiora is supposed to be a young dueling prodigy. That’s literally how her character is written. Making her look significantly older, while not inherently bad, does conflict with who the character is supposed to be. The…

There’s a handful of skins that can’t be acquired anymore: Black Alistair, Silver Kayle, King Rammus, PAX Jax/Sivir/Twisted Fate, UFO Corki, Urf the Manatee Warwick, Championship Riven, Traditional Karma/Trundle/Sejuani.

Then what need do you have of a Victorious skin? There’s damn near a thousand skins in the game. Why care that 5 of them are only available to people who meet the (incredibly low) ranked requirements? You also have to find some irony in your statement as well: “Tryharding is boring. I wish I could buy the skin that…

Imgur, as an independent site, is like a condensed version of reddit’s low effort shitposting while simultaneously removing the few worthwhile aspects that make reddit worth visiting. It’s like someone said, “Man, I really wish I could browse dank memes and cat pics all day without seeing anything that makes me use my…

At his peak, he was undoubtedly the best MMA fighter there has ever been. I can’t think of a single person with even the most basic knowledge of MMA who would argue differently.

I’d jump ship if someone makes a custom mode that adds League’s gameplay to DotA’s everything else. I readily acknowledge everything DotA 2 does right that League does wrong, but at the end of the day, League is a more enjoyable experience (imo) so I still stick with it. No matter how much better the client is, what…

I really don’t understand the popularity behind this series (in the sense that a lot of people who don’t like anime still like the show. I get why your typical anime fans enjoy it). I mean, it’s an entertaining show for older children (I’d put it in that ‘for 10-15 yr old kids’ range with Naruto, DBZ, Bleach, etc) but…

Does this surprise anyone that’s been paying attention to gaming for the past 5 years? The game is free to play. This is cosmetic and doesn’t change/effect gameplay in any way. What’s the problem here? League charges $10 for a skin. DotA 2/TF2 charges $15 for a hat. Heroes charges $30 for a unicorn. That’s how F2P…

Skin tiers have been around for 2 years friend. This isn’t some new thing they’re still adjusting to. Also, not all 1350 skins have voice alterations. Firecracker Jinx, Arctic Ops Varus, etc. all have the same ol’ default VA. Which is kind of my point. Other than Legendary/Ultimate skins, the rest of the tiers feel…

Honestly, I kinda have this weird enjoyment of not having all the champions in the game. There’s something satisfying about collecting them as you go; each person having their own unique roster of ‘preferred’ champions. It feels very pokemon-esque in that regard. I recently picked up Shaco. Not because I like Shaco -…

Actually, that doesn’t paint the full picture either. Here’s a comment that explains the gender wage gap in pretty simple terms and why it’s more than just a “male makes X, female makes Y” comparison:

I feel like the Shirai Ryu should’ve been one of the factions. Lets face it. Scorpion and Sub-Zero have always been the most popular characters of the franchise BY A MILE. Remove one of those two and who do you think everyone is gonna gravitate towards? Like, it’s not even a contest. If Shirai Ryu were selectable, I’d…
