It would be great if they threw in an Easter egg for the game players by having someone say “There’s another settlement that needs your help. I’ll mark it on your map” and have Lucy shoot them.

To be fair, by nature, Fallout is a less-urgent tale than TLOU. And to be fairer, Fallout has always had its share of cartoonishness about it. But I agree this is not on TLOU’s level.

i don’t know why the 2 series would even be compared, tonally they are nothing alike.

I think it just controls the purifier/recycler.

It’s strange how I’ll see him and think “It’s that guy who’s in all those things,” and then I can’t think of any. True Romance (where his character is likeable against type) and his recent turn on Only Murders might be the only ones I’ve seen.

You can just click on “Pending” to see what they have to say. That’s a weak form of censorship.

Even with the black/gray system, the comments on Jezebel are still awful. So many of them are basically "this writer is a dumb bitch" and they get up voted by other grays until they're dominant. Something about being a woman on the internet just drives commenters crazy, apparently. 

You hit the nail on the head. I saw this last weekend and laughed my head off. The kids loved it too.

To be fair the NCU should have taken a break after “Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Game Over”. Sure it broke box office records and it’s beloved by fans but its 315 minute run time was way too long. It’s going to be hard to top Chris Pratt’s Mario sacrifice himself to save all of the multiverse. Plus following up…

Well, you can always go back in time and ask people not to post porn gifs in Jezebel if it bothers you that much.

“The last 30 years” as if video games deserved movies before then. Making a movie based on the plot of a game from more than 30 years ago results in to guys playing virtual ping ping with eachother or the exact Mario movie we got at the time. Most well received games at that time were about handling and not plot and…

Don’t Disney movies make the least of all the animator studios? 

I was referring to the idea that after a movie in a particular genre becomes a blockbuster, then there are always imitators that try to cash in on that success.

Pearl Clutching - outrage or dramatic protest, especially from a woman, caused by something the person perceives as vulgar, in bad taste, or morally wrong but that does not elicit a similarly strong reaction from most other people.

After the original Star Wars was released there were a bunch of imitators.

Now I want an Old Man Mario game, where he comes out of retirement to save the princess one last time. 

Its a generation of IP, since the mid/late 80s, many, most really, of the best stories are video games. People don’t read anymore, they play games. The best IP, the best stories, of the 90s/00s are video games. It's what will drive Hollywood for years to come....

Twenty shitty things for maybe 4 or 5 good ones is pretty much how everything in life goes.

It’s really weird. I don’t know how you managed to include sound effects in this article but while reading it I could hear the sound of pearls clutching.

But yeah I’m baffled by the very negative attitude that’s been in place for this movie pretty much since it was announced. Feels like a lot of people having opinions on shit they haven’t seen and/or had unrealistic expectations for.
