I could never get into Pokemon, games or culture, but I always check into see what they’re up to, what they’re doing new. Can’t agree with you more about how the new content seems to be refreshing. That they manage to do that while keeping it familiar is very admirable.

Isn’t Goreror when you’re horrified by the revelation of an inconvenient truth?

It’s the same with mosques here in Maldives. Was just joking about it when this post showed up!

Yeah, you’re right. What I said’s moot anyway, seeing as this isn’t a straight up animated feature. Let’s hope there’s some unexpected magic in this.

Now that you mention it, I remember very, very vaguely! I should hunt it down for my daughter.

I did find some oddities, for instance how burly Thompson and Thomson were or how the physical comedy was animated, but I felt the style interpreted the art of the comics into CG very well. I don’t quite know how faithfully the “ligne claire” style could translate to 3D. Even if you disagree about whether the Tintin…

I know other works by Dahl have been adapted in various styles but I’d want a BFG film to visually be a translation of Quentin Blake’s art in the way that (despite its other flaws) the Tintin film’s style was a good translation of Herge’s art.

This. I always constantly flit between the two sites, so it’s not been much of a change for me. I did feel sad when I first learned Evan was leaving Kotaku though - because I had no idea he was coming here!

Maybe Ross forms the Thunderbolts as a covert team?

Man, that one boss fight where the boss kept changing into that woman Rue loves. Love the music.

So much beard backpedaling. Beard Ryu needed to be the default option in Street Fighter V too, rather than an alternate costume!

Not to mention the “talent” and achievement behind most factory-produced pop stars!

Dammit, my mind went to Bret Hart for a minute there.

Is Gwendoline Christie too famous/obvious?

Wasn’t there a bit where one man actually explains to Ashitaka how Eboshi was the only one who took those lepers in? Maybe it’s only a myth in Japan and it’s entirely clear in the English translation?

I clicked this article hoping it was Itagaki.

I hope they don’t fight.

He-Man’s Spanish intro had words where other versions didn’t!

Soundwave superior, Constructicons inferior.

Also don’t forget the simultaneity of images in manga and other comics. I realise you’ve mentioned spreads in terms of sequence but single images and images as series also speak to each other across a manga. A page is, with some exceptions, an irreducible unit; you do not actually process it from right to left/left to…
