Almost all of TV in the 24 episode era were developed as "bottle episodes" with very little "campaign" storytelling.

That was kinda of my take in the middle of season 2.... What started out as something that SHOULD turn into Good Bad and Ugly in space, has kind of turned into BJ and Bear given that the hook isn't there SpaceGuy With No Name, but instead "what adorable thing will Grogu do."

but apart from the ILM effects, the movie doesn’t look at all like one of his. In terms of framing, composition, cinematography the aesthetic is completely different.

So, a Superman game that has thousands of bystanders running around during the fight scenes, and the game ends when the collateral damage meter fills up?

make them bad at shooting guns!

“Rocksteady wants this to be a fast-paced, high-flying, run-and-gun shooter.”

Yep. The quality of Andor being a 1970s dystopian political scifi story doesn’t diminish Mandalorian being a spaghetti western. ( even though, I not quite sure that’s what Mandolaorian is anymore)

Well, what you are complaining about being as “fan fic” is actually describing how pretty much all open-world-ish RPGs work.

Yeah, that’s been sort of my take, too. In a lot ways Wingspan feels like a more complicated version of “give everyone a big box of dice, shake them up, and count up your score after shaking to see who wins” given that there’s virtually no long term strategy to it and almost all tactical. But that’s part of its charm…

Yeah, it’s a miniature tactics game/campaign with the occasional “there’s a person crying on the side of the road, do you help them or not, it could be a trap!” card thrown in between games as the “RPG” component.

I’m not even sure Gloomhaven is the biggest game of the decade. (I guess it is to geek crowd). But certainly something like Wingspan has sold more copies.

I doubt there’s any deep meaning of what happens in the movie caused anyone to not see it. It’s not like it made a bajillions of dollars on opening night and then dropped like a rock because of some big reveal that no one liked.

I always got mad when I was a kid watching Looney Tunes, and one of those random shorts came on where something like Daffy Duck was being a waiter at a restaurant serving food to all the caricatures of famous movies stars of that time. Like why should I find it funny that Humphrey Bogart is reaching into his coat…

I’ve never seen Family Guy as adult animation. It’s mostly for 12 year old who want to think it’s for adults because of the occasional innuendo.

I refuse to watch anything on Apple+ that isn’t shot on an iphone. If you are going to market your phone as a profession movie making device, then you can at least prove it to me by shooting the shows you are promoting on your service with it.

To be fair, throughout the history of film, a surprisingly large chunk of movies are adaptions of other works.

And even the music changes to help indicate that it was all a ploy.

At least it felt like the new Ant Man movie is sort of rooted in the Antman sadness for not having seen his daughter grow up from the trailers.

I think that was kind of my point. No Way Home went to great lengths to make the multiple Spideys a surprise.
