There are things an animator’s pen can do that digital effects simply can’t.

The weird thing about getting older is that every few years this movie bubbles back to the top of the cultural lexicon and there’s a whole new group of people who didn’t know it was satire 

The best satire doesn’t have to be subtle, it has to be earnest. If you think that “the Irish should eat their babies if they’re so hungry” is subtle, then you might want to either recalibrate your scale for subtlety or seriously reevaluate your view on the Irish.

Maybe I’m just deadened to anything that isn’t truly deep hurting thanks to decades of MST3K and Rifftrax but this movie just seems bad in a mundane, boring way, while everyone is trying really hard to convince themselves it’s bad in a funny or super weird way.

The movie may suck something awful, and I don’t know that anybody actually wanted a Madame Web movie, but I pay even less attention to reviews now when so many are “look at me, I’m funny and clever!” attention seeking devices and the usual crowd upset about the rise of female characters in superhero movies, for one…

I mean how about a remake , but with the original soundtrack and voicework kept in . Still epensive to make but not AS expensive

Linoa here... But I totally get Tifa :p

Tali in Mass Effect was the GOAT as well.

a. i wrote a comment above that echoes a lot of this

holy shit, no it’s not. It’s a NOTHING story. Rinoa is dating Seifer at the start of the game! Then she’s not! Squall basically says “whatever” to her for two discs, and then, uh, love? I guess?

Man, I had no interest in Squall and Rinoa’s “love” story. Squall just never was an interesting character to me. His transition from brooding dickhead to still-brooding-dickhead-but-now-admits-he-loves-Rinoa had no real arc to it. Didn’t help that the game spoon-fed you the idea from the very box art that this Final…

This is why I’d rather drink a bucket of bleach than ever identify myself as a “gamer”. The bulk of “gamers” I encounter online are reprehensible human garbage and I refuse to accept I am even the same species as these defective degenerates. I play games.. I am sure as HELL am no “gamer” though, not if it means being…

Kojima is weird af! I’ll give him props though for taking chances. He comes up with the weirdest shit! Like a device that’s a pair of hands around your neck that assist you or the Guitar Gun/Sword. Where does he come up with this stuff? It’s fascinating science fiction.

I don’t care how pretentious Kojima is, I love how completely unhinged this trailer is. I’m not sold on the game yet (I liked the first one but I don’t know if I want to do it again) but this makes a pretty strong case for it.

It’s all prudes until we can romance monsters.

It’s pretty clearly satirizing Pokémon and the whole “happy animal enslavement/combat” subgenre with legitimate commentary. Someone might not like or agree with it, but satire and social commentary are both valid forms of expression, even in video games.

Here’s the thing. The first game did a really good job of constantly backing Joel and/or Ellie into a corner, where they had no choice other than to fight their way out. The hospital is probably the first time that there’s a real moral choice implied, and even then it was as much on the Fireflies for their shitty…

Released in February 2023, Hogwarts Legacy wasn’t a hit with critics and ended up not winning many major awards.

Man, Legion is a work of art. Wandavision came off as a pale imitator, as something that could mimic the styles of old sitcoms, but failed to replicate what really made those styles work — for most of its sitcom bits, it never earns a laugh. Legion understood the styles it homages well, though, and hits so much harder…

Hallikainen devotes a large chunk to discussing the “growing tendency of toxicity in our community.”
