By far the best realized Final Fantasy of the 360/PS3 console generation. The main thing that hampers people going back and playing it these days is the absolutely GLACIAL battle speed. Especially in the back half of the game, random battles can take upwards of two to three minutes each (and if you just spam “A”…

Most of the people watching the show will have never played the games and 99% of them won’t have read the books. It’s more than reasonable to critically view the show as its own thing that doesn’t need outside supporting documents. I say this as someone who liked the show a lot more than I think io9 did.

The first episode very specifically points out the fact that Geralt and Ciri are in different timeframes (Renfri specifically mentions Calanthe’s first battle being recent in the scene right after Calanthe saying that her first battle was lifetimes ago), so it isn’t really meant to be a revelation, but it isn’t super…

To be fair, even the Fox X-Men films didn’t have much connection to the Fox X-Men films.

I think the difference is that the Prequels were a good idea executed very poorly. The Sequels were no-idea executed very well. It’s possible that no-idea executed very well can create some pretty watchable movies or even have filmakers sneak in some ideas when they want to! But it doesn’t make for the most coherent…

We’re just going to ignore that Last Jedi was very publicly review bombed?And it was a whole thing? LOL okay.
 

Reeves isn’t eternally young like people joke so much as he has tailored his look to fit his aging face. This is the first time since he’s gotten older that he’s leaned the other way, which is a great whiplash for what they’re trying to do for this movie.

Basically now he looks old because he’s trying to look young.…

A good editor such as ... Joss Whedon? 🤣

The movie was a very able transcription of the comic book that faltered mostly in places where Synder’s flourishes indicated that he had no idea what the comic book was about. It was a case where the faithfulness mostly successfully masked the fact that the director didn’t really get it.

Film copies of those old versions certainly exist. A new transfer would have to be done (which costs money, and could be the reason for hesitance), but they exist.

I assume part of the issue is that currently the highest quality transfer of the originals is the 480p non-anamorphic ones done for the laserdiscs in the…

The 2017 movie was much better than it had any business being but was completely and totally undermined by its horrendous ranger suit and zord designs. Someone really needs to sit Hollywood execs down and explain that Transformers (and to a lesser extent the Ninja Turtles reboot) succeeded in spite of awful designs,…

To use the parlance of old Star Wars canon rating system:

The movies are G-Canon, Agent Carter is T-Canon, Agents of Shield (and the one-shots) are C-Canon and the Netflix (and Hulu) shows were somewhere between C-Canon and S-Canon.

More than really anything else in Marvel TV, the Peggy Carter series actually felt like it was part of the MCU (even if it did straight up contradict the Peggy Carter one-shot). It is still, I believe, the only one of those shows where an element of the shows later appeared in the movies.

We know that he’s been in “Heaven” for 10 Earth years and that the first birthday cake we see only has one candle on it and the last one we see has a lot more (and that the trial took “one year”). Beyond that we don’t know specifics, though it certainly implies that the stuff we’ve seen on Europa has a much different…

Also, the cakes nicely show that the timeframe of Ozymandias’ time in “Heaven” doesn’t match up to what’s happening in Tulsa. He’d only been there a year when we see him in the first episode. He’s been there ten now. He’s been in jail for a year. The trial took a year, ect.

I think one of the Joker’s inherent character traits is that he isn’t actually very funny. Like I think that’s pretty core to the character.

One of the best moments in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker was when Terry is like “This guy sucks at jokes, actually. I can out joke him without even trying that hard.”

Cavill was pretty clear that his favorite time playing Superman was the super hopeful stuff he got to do during the Whedon shooting, and always seemed like he wanted to do a version of the character who wasn’t some sort of Randian object of fear preaching hope, but, you know, actually hopeful.

So it’s not super…

Haha me too! But every so often he specifically references the fact that time passes! And Bobbins is very distinctly set in the early 2000s (Shelly’s clamshell iBook!) And the characters age! Noticeably!

Shauna is there in one of those covers, yeah?

So the timeframe in the Bobbins Universe is basically:
