If there’s any real appeal to this film, it’s that Hemsworth and Thompson played really well off each other in Ragnarok. Good onscreen chemistry can get you a long way.

We’re talking about two different customer bases here.

One is gamers who have already invested $300 or more into a gaming console ecosystem.

The other is people who might want to play the latest games but don’t want to pay the overhead of relatively high end hardware.

Two options for the TV series I think. Either the series takes place in the space between Civil War and Infinity War, or they find some other way to replicate Vision, but he comes back wrong (or some combination of the two).

Funny. I almost used the phrase “comfort food” up there in my post too!

I think that’s largely the appeal of a lot of these open world games. I played all of the Assassin’s Creeds up until the one in the French Revolution for that very reason, and for me, the games aren’t really about immersion. They’re a comfortable…

Weirdly enough, Mad Max was the first game that came to mind for me too.

I’ve picked it up about three times, played it for a few days, and then dropped it when real life or another game or hobby comes along. It’s a perfectly fine game, but it’s the type of thing I only pick up and play when I want some therapeutic,…

The real Freakers were the zombies we met along the way.

Oh no. The zombies got Heather mid-sentence!

I think you meant to say “Kreated a perfect Jade”.

It’s much less entertaining when That Guy is anonymous and you don’t have the shared spectator experience you get in a crowded arcade.

It blows my mind that there wasn’t ONE chicken sandwich on this list.

But Kate gets it for the inclusion of the cheesy gordita crunch. It’s truly a master class in fast food texture.

I think you hypothetically could make Darkseid meaningful. Marvel made Thanos sympathetic in Infinity War, but Darkseid is entirely unsympathetic and elemental in nature. He’s the living embodiment of fascism. He’s a literal god.

Thanos changed the world in an indescribable way and then promptly fucked off. A world…

Hopefully this means that he’ll push doubly hard to have his staff commit crimes. The only thing that saved him from Mueller is the fact that his staff ignored his requests after all.

Fuck that hypothetical child.

Nope. That doesn’t sound fascistic at all.

Exactly this. In the minds of establishment Democrats, these are issues best left politely ignored. At most, speak about them in ambiguous generalities so you can avoid seeming anti-veteran or anti-Israel or anti-whatever.

Exactly this. And it’s why we don’t see them suddenly pulling Pocahontas off the shelves despite it being very problematic. Or, as you stated, Tiger Lily in Peter Pan.

Hell, the Br’er characters may sell BETTER in merchandise and rides without the context of the movie.

I don’t think anyone is ANGRY at them. Just befuddled.

True, true.

;) but I suspect someone at Disney has run a cost-benefit analysis regarding Dumbo and Song of the South and decided that hiding the offending scenes in the basement is the best course of action economically.

I’d be interested in Disney opening up their vaults for the sake of a documentary that outlines the…

Sure, but I guess my concern is practical.

How do you release this content in a way that’s thoughtful and reflective? And is the effort of finding an approach that does that worth it?

Oh, same here. Sorry if I sounded confrontational.

I saw Song of the South in probably 3rd or 4th grade during a class screening held at the neighboring high school. We walked there from the elementary school for the special event. What I remember more than the movie itself was how big and scary the high schoolers…
