I think Nebula has had some of the best character growth in the MCU and she could really use more focus. Karen Gillan has been killing it in the role since GotG1 and it’s a shame she’s still basically a side character.

I wasn’t in love with the second movie when I first saw it. But I’ve been rewatching all the Marvel movies recently. Watched it again last week and freaking loved it. Don’t understand why it wasn’t vibing with me that first time. 

I’m just happy to see Nebula enjoying herself and just having fun. I think that’s a first in any of the movies. She has friends now. Even if that involves a lot of carrying Quill around.

“traditional values”

Yeah, I think there is a certain risk here that they might go into the completely opposite direction and it might make the game worse for it. Like, obviously they’re going to have some sort of resource interaction, that’s a given.

I partly agree. While survival elements’ natural home is as a core game mechanic, it still has a lot of value as a side mechanic to contribute to a game’s atmosphere and narrative when used correctly. For example, topping up your gas tank is not a particularly engaging activity, but in final fantasy 15, it really…

Yeah I'm really imagining that the survival elements are essentially going to boil down to "I need more heat resistant armor to navigate this planet without taking damage" 

Because Taylor-Joy and Day aren’t doing voices. That’s just them. So Peach is coming across as kids-movie-generic-female-badass voice #3 and Day just sounds like he’s making his own voice slightly higher pitched.

Yea, I think it’d lose some of the gravitas as “fuck the empire” as well.

Yeah that’s what Grounded got wrong. Repairing equipment just became a cycle where you lost days of doing anything interesting so you can repair necessary items.

The thing about Charles Martinet is I don’t think his usual performance is something I’d want to sit through for 80 minutes.

Good point. “Fuck” the empire is obviously a statement EVERYONE thinks at home or away from imperial ears (or at least the SW version of fuck (it isn’t frak, different franchise!) but it isn’t a call to action, its just a release statement. FIGHT is a call to action, a direction to quit putting up and DO something. In…

I think you’re right, fight the empire does sound more emphatic than fuck the empire.  If a fuck was to be used, I think it would have sounded better with something like Cass getting arrested for being a bystander.

Yeah, “fuck X” is what you say when you need to vent about X but don’t necessarily expect to be able to do anything about it.

Survival elements without all the stress? Well that’s ok, mods can fix that for them too.

Agreed. There’s no point to even having them there if they aren’t stressful. To have non-stressful “survival” elements misses the point of what they are supposed to be completely.

You’re alone on the ship, you’re out of fuel. You desperately search around the few asteroids in the system scavenging what little you can find. But you’ve stayed too long. You hear the footsteps, he’s here. And all that fills you is dread as they speak.

I have been a member of that cult since seeing the movie in cinemas when it first came out. I had the collectible cups from Wendy’s that changed color when you added cold beverage. That movie heavily informed my pop culture vocabulary. It wasn’t a big hit at the time, but it did decent enough business.

Major kudos for not trying to drag out the “Who is Elora?” mystery, since I’m sure I’m far from the only one who had it pegged the second she was revealed to be lower class. Also, it’s pretty amazing to FINALLY see a Disney product that says right off the bat “Yeah, they’re gay. So what?”

It was ok. Nothing amazing, pretty standard fantasy fare, which honestly fits with the inspiring source. Has more of a mid 2000s TV show feel than a Disney offering though.

Kudos to them not trying to keep things that were obvious from the start as supposed mysteries. I’ll definitely give them that much. Some shows…
