Yes. But it being neither was inevitable. No game will hit the zeitgeist of popularity that Witcher 3 has become, but of course no sprawling game like this would be all bad and not contain something of interest of fun.

Sure, but just because those themes aren’t explored doesn’t mean other themes aren’t. It certainly looks like it delves into other issues associated with the genre, such as corporations, inequal distribution of wealth, status, and the dehumanizing aspects of technology.

You mean words like “an enraging pile of offensive tropes.” Because that’s the only alternative set by the article. It continually posits the scale as “Witcher 3" vs “trash heap of retrograde video game shit” and then says it’s somewhere in the middle.
But where in the middle?? Three stars? Three-and-a-half? Two? 7/10?

There’s clapping like a seal and then there’s complaining that the summer popcorn blockbuster doesn’t have the soul and layers of an Oscar bait prestige film.

In 2019 the movie industry made $41 billion and the music industry made $19 billion.
Video games made $152 billion.

The problem is the mast majority of the hype is being done by the fans and community and games journalists. The studio is basically sitting back and enjoying the ride.

The best way to rehabilitate things would be to play up the romantic angle. Camilla and Charles were clearly in a lasting love in a way most of us would kill to have, and even after the “marriage for the public” to Diana, the heart wanted what the heart wanted.

First, even assuming vaccines did cause autism—which they do NOT—being an anti-vaxxer means you’d rather have a child dead from a preventable illness rather than one on the spectrum. Which is insulting as FUCK to people like me who are neutoatypical.

I definitely feel this question. I need to process and reread the answer myself.

Why “he/they”?
Shouldn’t it be either “he/ him” or “they/them”?

At this point Joss Whedon just needs to retire from the industry, get a cabin in the woods, and quietly hang himself. Because the people who hate him won’t accept anything less than his humiliation and death, and no amount of time or humbling will change that.
Because people love to watch a hero fall. The higher the…

Depends on the film.

I’m watching it going in having seen every episode of Clone Wars twice and Rebels 1.5x
But I have a friend I’m chatting about the show with who has only seen the movies, and they’re still enjoying it. I do some backstory filling occasionally, but it doesn’t seem to be needed.

Ignorance is bliss.

There’s so many reasons Avengers probably did poorly.

I can get over the faces, because it’s not like the faces in Spider-Man were just like the live action.
It’s the costumes.

I agree.
Except this was full price.

That’s some impressive muscles for someone who will be a fat suit for comedy, so he can further mock depression and alcoholism.

Sure, but it’s not like Miles Morales doesn’t feature padding as you swing around collecting time capsules, doing tests for Pete, shutting down secondary reactors (that somehow run on the Nuform Roxxon desperately needs to recover), and doing endless FNSM app sidequests.

And even at the premier it’s probably like a painter looking at a portrait or a single listening to an album. All they can see is the mistakes. The shitty brush stroke or crack in the voice.
She probably sits there and thinks “my expression there was wrong” or “I could have given that line better” or “what the fuck…
