I'm kind of a die-hard fan of the original, so I had a strong bias against Snyder's version, but I could cop to that being a matter of taste (basically, any remake would seem lousy compared to Romero's, so I cut Snyder some slack).

The problem I have with his take is that it's always "More beige, more miserable."

I had the bad fortune to see this in theaters, because I was still undecided about Snyder after Watchmen. I hated this a lot, thought it was stupid nonsense.

After the twentieth time the display case was shattered, vandalized, or otherwise symbolically desecrated, inspectors were forced to admit that it just wasn't OSHA compliant.

I would have been happy with Daniel Craig, but strung out.

No no, they spent a lot of time Bing-ing the optimally "Fleek" branding strategy.

This is the last time I GM here.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE A SPELLCRAFT CHECK FIRST, DUDE, THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT TIME I CAUGHT YOU READING THE MONSTER MANUAL

You'll need to make a Spellcraft check

What a convenient segue for me to post this!

I didn't read "white" in cabspaintedyellow's post as being about demographic representation, I read it as being about where the focus is placed.

Maybe the nuance was just out of my sight, because that's not how it looked from my position.

I'm not saying that VB has to change, and I'm not going to drop it tomorrow just because they made Dr Mrs a straight cis woman who just happens to have a deep voice.

Did the kids make a lot of noise?

Yeah, I get why it is the way it is, but erasure is erasure, no matter how good the justification is.

I'm not happy to admit it, but The Venture Bros is pretty damn lily white, and kind of a boys' club to boot. When women and minorities are in the cast, they tend to be more grounded, 'straight-man' types, more aware of the silliness than the main characters.

One conversation with Socrates and he has you questioning everything.
