Yeah they were trying to appeal to both camps. I thought WW made too big of a deal about its combat tbh—for something that was decent but could’ve been improved upon (lock on button for one). But yeah there is irony in how much combat is in WW only for TT to downplay it

The stealth kills in TT were awesome. Also using your sands to retry stealth sections was innovative in itself. More stealth games could benefit from something like that w/out restarting the section

Is this just what you have to do when you’ve already tattooed your whole face? I mean for 24 mil that’s a little weak. I’d get horns or tusks implanted, maybe get a hidden gun that shoots out of my mouth

Your favorite trainwreck “now with additional casualties, slow motion, and Cyborg”

I’m more annoyed by the caption “Amazing character you created.” It’s an 80 year old comic character that’s been portrayed at least a dozen times across media. All they did was make him a soundcloud rapper.

And Fincher gets a producer credit

Same thing happening with Qanon. Basically started as a joke or troll experiment (and I think even some of the people who are rabid Qanon fanatics aren’t completely sure if its factual or not, but it makes them feel powerful so doens’t matter)

Yeah it has the unfortunate timing of coming after Endgame, too, which made it clear that there’s a superhero every square mile you can hit up (and all ultimately cooperate with SHIELD/SWORD—so they don’t really have an excuse)

Williams, his wife, is worth approximately $200 million, significantly more than he is.

I’m enjoying the show, but they really could have made it clearer in the first episodes why we’re supposed to care about Wanda and Vision and their new situation at all. Superheroes trapped in a sitcom is intriguing, but we can all agree they were not the most dynamic characters of the Avengers movies. It could have…

Indy is problematic (while also kind of a pastiche of golden-age pulps which were problematic). But Bond is more “abhorrent” than that. The imperialist racism and sexism in those movies/novels far exceeds the insensitivity of Indy’s movies, and at least Indy grows somewhat 

I’ve never heard the ter podcast game til now, but it pretty much sums up 80% of how i play games now

This, but throw Jim and Pam in there too. I felt their characters grew more obnoxious and tiresome throughout

I still have no idea why WB would cave to Snyder fans in the first place and release a Snyder Cut, but at the very least it’s clear they know this is a one-off.

Yeah there does seem to a kind of bizarre PR angle to this, as he’s been supported by Snyder and co. throughout the lead-up to the Snyder cut (and Snyder has also issued nonspecific complaints about Whedon), so it may be that he has the implicit assurance from Snyder that he will benefit from this in some way. 

Yeah I keep coming back to that thought every time something new is published on this: if he’s trying to get something from WB, it doesn’t seem to be working and he’s not really playing this right.

it *used* to cost too much, fwiw. I got it on sale for literally $5. Not sure what it is now

If nothing else, writers in the genre need to learn that omnipotent tech companies are not going to be using names like Skynet, Omnicorp, etc. They’re going to have silly, friendly names. like Google, hulu, tinder, uber, and they are going to use humor and cringey ads and use underhanded tactics in capturing…

ah, thanks for clearing that up. I wasn’t going to watch the movie again to find out what the deal was. I forgot it was the jedi (Dooku?) that decided to go through wiht the clone idea to begin with. I always thought the good guys using a cloning farm was creepy af

hell nah
