I could have said the same about the Witcher. And as bizarre and grimdark WH40K is, it does seem to have enough success across video games and books outside of the core war game that I think it’s demonstrated itself as a brand with a lot of appeal. You’re right that not everybody likes Warhammer. It’s a strong drink…

I mean someone had to. 

The TBS shows have been historically really annoying to find on streaming. Like I’d have to go to their specific app or website to watch stuff. American Dad all but disappeared as soon it moved there. Compare that to shows that get a second life on Hulu and Netflix and you can see why stuff like Search Party and…

“Come on! A woman has needs”

I personally think there was always going to some kind of change in design simply based on the translation to this medium. In the games Mario is expressive but it’s in a big, broad way meant to be visible as he’s moving through big pieces of scenery. He also doesn’t really talk. You’re going to need to soften up the…

The level at which people are picking apart the design is truly astounding. Like, dear god, can you imagine if these guys showed up today? 

I mean...it looks like a Mario movie? Like, aside from the weird casting it looks like they’re understanding the assignment from at least a visual perspective.

I wonder what the long term plans are to gift stuff like this. Like I’d feel weird making this for myself but it would be a great gift to send to a friend in the form of a voucher that they could then use to scan their own faces.

No. I’m referring to the flashback scene about two thirds through where they show the private conversation she had with Icarus before she died. 

He wishes. Oswalt probably saw his car explode as he walked up to it in the parking lot later.

The ending where Selma Hayek basically explained her faith in humanity was restored by the Avengers defeating Thanos is what really killed it for me. You had an entire film that was all about people questioning what is good in humanity and whether purpose is more important than people, and then you resolve that huge…

Yeah this multi-versal divergent timeline stuff ain’t doing it for me. I like it when stuff is either part of a larger story or a fresh new story, but all this quasi-canonical, keep track of what’s changed in this timeline and what’s the same stuff is exhausting. The MCU’s started to feel as bloated as the comics.

If the movie presents a bunch of fantasy heroes engaged in fun fantasy adventures fighting dangerous monsters, it will already being doing a good enough job explaining why DnD is so much fun. Yes, a tremendous part of what makes DnD great is the collaboration and dice, but a critical part is the fantasy everyone is…

Ah yes. The classic campaign where you all agree on a theme for your characters and then one player shows up with something completely different and has main character syndrome lol.

I don’t know if this movie will be good but the trailer definitely passes the vibe check.

If she thinks that’s bad, wait until she hears that Mark Ruffalo is only allowed to watch the Marvel movies after handing his phone to Kevin Fiege to smash to bits in front of him.

Bingo! Also, getting a whole family to the movies was exhausting even pre-pandemic. You’re now looking at parents who have spent two years realizing they can just put Disney Plus on.

Couldn’t agree more. I honestly think it’s the voice. He’s great as star lord and Andy in Parks and Rec because he sounds like a regular guy who thinks he’s more charismatic than he actually is. Like the smartest guy at the town bar that swears his cousin saw bigfoot. It works really well with his comedic delivery in…

The schedule is just a symptom of the fact WB has never had a very good plan surrounding this meta-franchise. The closest thing they had was Zach Snyder’s films and those had increasingly diminishing returns. Since then they’ve basically been throwing stuff at the wall and figuring it out on a case by case basis. This…

I can’t even get mad or puzzled about these movies anymore. They’re like live shows at a theme park. Everyone knows they’re not gonna be good. They’re not going go anywhere close to touching the originals. But they’re a spectacle that gets people in the atrium seats at 3:30pm. Like, “wow isn’t that neat seeing a live…
