Why exactly does he deserve petulance?

Soooo...is this some kind of MGSV/Bayonetta scenario where the gameplay is good enough that one forgives a certain amount of fetishistic fanboy spankbait? Or is this game entering the conversation butt first with not much else to go on? After reading the article, I have no clue. 

Hard to tell whether this article is being petulant about Lanthimos (who mostly deserves it) or just snotty in a generalized, can’t-be-bothered way. But it would not have been hard to do some more actual reporting. Oh well.

I enjoyed this issue. It’s all adolescent psychodrama through a J-horror filter with virtually no continuity baggage. That makes for a big contrast with Spider-Man and Black Panther, which are good comics but very, very world-buildy. This is the only book of the three that works without a pile of context.

There IS a movie adapted from the same novel. It came out the year before the game in Japan. I rented it way back when we still had video stores, and I remember it being cheap-looking but non-horrible.

“Say Metroidvania again! I dare you! I double dare you! Say Metroidvania one more time.”

I was secretly hoping that Respawn’s Star Wars shooting would let you call down an AT-ST partway through the match. And run on walls with the force. Now we shall never know.

So, like, when people say “remaster” what they mean is “we will pay you to patch this janky masterpiece”? Do I have this right?

This seems more or less inevitable. Whatever you say about his screen presence, Majors is radioactive. And audiences have turned up their noses at the multiverse nonsense. I don’t mind it, but there is no fucking scenario where I explain it to a date (or a grandparent, if I still had those). We’re just watching…

Yeah, this trailer makes the movie look like the unholy lovechild of Guardians and Jumanji. There are worse things, but it’s not necessarily what I want from an Eli Roth movie.

Before anything else, and this is not to be snarky as I feel I stumble with that particular word all the time, did you mean irreverent instead of irresponsible?

But don’t worry, as this leads to the great operatic ending where he gets captured, sits around in a chair getting verbally owned by Quinn before getting a bullet to his brain from the same person. Truly tying everything up in a neat narrative bow, absolutely the finish this epic version of the character deserved.

It is a weird mix of Mon Oncle, Franz Kafka, a phone alarm on Saturday, and a bag of shrooms. Comedy is probably the best word we have for that, so let’s go with it.

Counter point: Greek life mostly sucks. The people involved in sororities and fraternities wield influence on campus and beyond, through job market networking, in support of a social standard that everyone involved tries so hard to meet that it is only questioned when someone falls out a window or needs a fucking…

It’s mostly that the same bunch, for the most part, moved on to the next

Superior Spider-Man can both be a great execution and Slott’s high concept ideas can also be a bad fit for what Spider-Man fans have traditionally wanted from the franchise.

I liked it, I thought most of his run (except Carlie Cooper) was a lot of fun.

Perhaps I’m imagining it, but it seems like online Spider-fandom is finally coming around to Dan Slott. I loved his run for its high concepts and trollish sense of humor, but he took over in the shadow of One More Day, and the forums seemed determined to hate his stuff...or simply ignore it in endless arguments about…

Um, there may be a slight verbal ambiguity in the headline. Perhaps it ought to be “Marjorie Taylor Greene May Have Illegally Sent Hunter Biden’s Stolen Nudes to Minors.”

So it doesn’t confirm Venom is Harry, but Venom is Harry.
