I miss Runaways so damn much.

It’s really true. Sometime it’s much more difficult to keep fighting(metaphorically), but often it is the more rewarding path.
I just hate the idea that people seem to have that if they let their characters progress they will lose the one thing that makes them magic. It’s idiotic. Compelling characters are found in change and and permanent decisions. It doesn’t bring back the magic to reverse things it trivializes the things the characters…
Is that a criticism? Because nonsense is wonderful.
I'd be super down. Seeing Aang being the badass Avatar he always wanted to be was fulfilling in all the right ways.
Korra's good in a kinda Dark Knight Rises kinda way. Really exciting and cool visually with a bunch of cast and crew who really know what they're doing and having a great time. And the first time you see it, you think "Whoa, that was awesome". But after reading a few reviews and thinking about it a bunch, the whole…
Does Tales of the Arabian Nights count? It's more of a stuff happening at you than the players creating a story, but it's a brilliant example of how you can bring the whole table together with interesting narrative alone.
You know what really bothers me? When really great science fiction like 1984 or Fahrenheit 451 is referred to only as fine literature and separated from science fiction. As if the book's classic status takes away its dirty, base science fiction. UGH.
Both of these guys are being petty. But, Marcus seems to be more in the wrong to me. He doesn't even really know Phil Fish and he accuses him of being an asshole. That seems to be a breach of logic to me. They're both being stupid for getting heated over such a minor complaint, and both of them have said idiotically…
This movie destroyed me when I was a kid. I straight up bawled.
Maybe it's just because I am a Christian dude, but I never found Lewis's metaphors to be particularly annoying. I think it's because the books work as adventure stories, and as fables about Christianity. Just as the His Dark Materials books work as both adventure stories and atheist fables. Ayn Rand crosses the line…
Grapes of Wrath has a fairly subtle one.
I never really disliked him. I just usually found him to be the least interesting part of the show.
I still haven't seen it. I've heard similar things, however. So you're honestly way more informed than me. I certainly never hated JD. Just found his characterization off base from previous episodes.
I would agree with you up to a point. I feel like the early episodes did do a good job of separating J.D. flaws with his overall good nature. I remember something shifting in the later episodes to annoyance, but it has been long enough since I've seen them that I could be wrong. I guess I was going with "good guy gone…
Yeah, I think Marshall and Lily's relationship is the real heart of show. Ted's role seems the most weightless and the most driven by the need to keep the show going rather than giving his decisions emotional weight. Everything around him is still pretty golden though.
I just remember the will they/ won't they dynamic that overtook the later Seasons of Scrubs - From the 3rd season on, I think - crushing the heart of the character and making JD make incredibly stupid, irrational, and out of character decisions either to keep him and Eliot apart or together. UGH.
