Bayonetta still plays into the male gaze regardless, so unless they change how some of the camera angles play out it’s still slightly problematic. It’s like Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch” in claiming it’s a story about female empowerment and seizing thier own agency which is contradicted by the fact it still uses the…

For the EA games you typically have to have an Origin account to claim the game but once you claim it you can forever access it from your Origin account.  

I think you hit the nail on the head of why “games as service” is starting to emerge as the future model. It’s to head off any laws like that about keeping digital distribution alive. If it’s a service you can terminate that service with a reasonably advanced window of notice to the gamer. Not that this whole…

During thier 90's heyday Bill Clinton was the president of the United States and the Waco siege happened under his watch. Lil’ Republican’s of the time attributed the Machine as to the “liberal” polices of Democrats of the time. Thus Republican’s with thier “small government” push and “individual responsibly” mantra…

The only one raging is Peterson because he’s being mocked repeatedly. These guys can’t deal with being the butt of a joke, it emasculates them.  

Macross Plus will always remain one of the high-point mecha anime. With most of the plot being low stakes inter-character relationships can be more easily centered against the back drop of a prototype fly-off. It’s a balance that I think few anime really seem to capture these days with most having the stakes being so h…

Never in all my years did I ever expect shooting wireless speakers into an enemy’s ship/mecha to be so badass. You can’t turn it off if you don’t control the speaker.

It’s silly but it’s pure Macross with the power of love conveyed through music defeating the enemy.  

It should follow a government agency that was behind Hawkins Lab that deals with metaphysical stuff on the regular and how they keep everyone in the US safe and in the dark. Sorta like a Control or SCP-Foundation TV series.

I miss when cartoons were just 22 minute commercials for a toy line and branded merchandise. No semblance of real overarching plot, no sense of continuity, random introductions of new characters that the existing characters act like were there the whole time. You didn’t even really have to pay attention to know where…

It’s pretty amazing how he can convey so much emotion with all that makeup on in his various roles. 

If there is it’s because it’s going to be a PG rated family movie instead of a gritty hard-R rated horror movie Zombie is known for. 

The Fantastic 4 are like Hulk. They are excellent supporting characters but as the lead in something I don’t think they can really bring much to the table as far as gravitas. I love Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk but I just don’t think the character can really pull as a headliner. The FF are the same way.

Dr. Doom as a…

Because if the bill fails a senator from the winning side (Republican’s) would have to bring up a motion to reconsider if they want to do it during the same congressional session. So if you REALLY want something passed you need to make sure you reasonably could expect it to get enough votes. If you are doing things…

good ole’ ashcan copy.  This makes a lot of sense.  

Via the “Chapelle Show” he essentially made white dudes comfortable to unironically use the N-word. He’s doubling down on appealing to the white demographic that is typically unconcerned with the wellbeing of Black people.  He’s tokenizing himself for an audience that will use him as a “i like Dave Chapelle so i can’t…

Elon Musk is so obvious with his schemes he’s going to create legal precedent to be used against others in the capitalist class. This is going to get him killed. 

I mean Star Trek has been breaking established canon for like 40 years. At a certain point you just have to sit back and enjoy the ride. Head canon your fixes if you must but just sit back and go with the flow. 

Obi-Wan struggling to use the force and needing multiple saber strikes to take down stormtroopers kind of validates how Jedi seem to be portrayed in videogame needing to reconnect with the force and get back in thier groove.

Honestly this episode really seems like was adapted from Jedi: Fallen Order. The sneaking into…

I hope you don’t use a cellphone because those have been used to coordinate the attack on the capitol on Jan 6 2021 and the service providers did nothing to prevent it despite the lead time from the earliest texts.  

No, Top Gun is for Naval Aviators. So it’s the USN.
