Black Widow was a straight up cold blooded killer/crazy woman in multiple iterations, and bears mostly a physical resemblance to her MCU counterpart. It doesn’t surprise me if they change up characters here and there.

May I ask you out of serious curiosity - what are the issues you see within the campaign or the genre at large? in the fantasy genre at large, asian fantasy written by asian authors has had a nice little boom with some great titles. Within the campaign, this article mentions zero specific examples of stereotypical,…

Except it’s not really mild criticism, is it? Just one example below:

My dude, this article states multiple times that they haven’t really made any missteps and ends with “... good intent doesn’t matter when the end result is harmful. It doesn’t mean jack shit if you promise to be moral and responsible with your depiction of other cultures and then publicly condemn anyone who is made…

This critique is a regurgitation of talking points. It’s also very judgmental of the shows success and the people running the show without any reason to critique it other than it exists. She doesn’t name a single specific thing aside from random costumes in a promo video. What there is vproof of is CR doing their best…

I see that, but again, the people in CR have basically been the definition of good allies. They apologize almost instantly for any mistake made, and do their best to be inclusive and to help people.

So who are they going to ask to leave the show to add new cast members? Matt has expressed multiple times that it’s a lot of work dealing with each cast members back story, not to mention that he has to also keep track of their abilities in and out of combat. They do regularly have guests that are almost always BIPOC.…

I understand people’s reticence to this, especially if you belong to the cultures this particular fantasy-inspired campaign exists in, but if your example boils down to them wearing some costumes in a silly promo piece that explorers used to wear, then that’s... not a lot.

That may be true, but I don’t honestly think Kotick and all his evil have much to do with the actual state of games like WoW and Overwatch. WoW designers spent the last year and some months telling players “these bad systems in the game are good,” only to turn around and reverse full throttle on it. No one is forcing…

No competition. The GOAT.

I disagree with that common logic, as I get older I realize more and more that fucked up people, and people who don’t seem like they’re fucked up but are, moreso go after positions of power.

Yeah, “despite” is not the best word choice. “Because” would be more apt.

I don’t disagree with your general point, but what about the current internal structure of new G4 gives you the indication that it’s exactly the same? Because nothing about new G4, other than Kevin being there - and by “Kevin being there” I mean him being a part of this after creating a toxic work environment on The…

ah okay, I think I just misread you, my bad.

Quite simply, I would say it’s the first time I ever saw an animated film that made me feel a feeling I can only describe as: “holy shit, okay, this is true art.” I’d already been watching anime for a couple of years, plenty of DBZ, Ruroni Kenshin, that kind of stuff, but also a few anime films like Akira. But nothing…

Ten years? I’m pretty sure the modern show is five to six at most, as it picks up immediately after Mando S2. Battle of Jakku was 3ish years after Endor.

To be fair, almost no one was invested in Guardians of the Galaxy. I’d been a comic reader on and off for like 20 years and had never heard of them.

Starfield, Dying Light 2, Horizon FW, and other popular titles are also on this list so what is your point?

I think Fincher had the skill at the time - moreso it’s a question of whether or not Fincher gave a shit to do that at all.

Thank you for saying the sense of place thing, 100% agree. It’s nuts. Shadow and Bone, Witcher, and now this show - I have literally no concept of what is where. Also somehow in Witcher S2 Geralt and Ciri ride from Cintra to Kaer Morhen in less than a day - it’s on the complete opposite side of the continent!
