Ah, I'm guessing that you, my friend, have never worked IT before. There is nothing an end user will complain about more than extra steps. Especially if they cause even a miniscule slow down to whatever task they were performing. And we, the IT staff, will hear about it until the end of time...or something marginally…

A. It was the first multi-publisher launcher, and having ONE central hub for your games is fine. Launching a launcher FROM YOUR LAUNCHER is the problem. That and publishers trying to force you to abandon your launcher in favor of their thing.

Ubiquity - and it allows you to add non-steam games very easily. And offers a greater level of control than any other launcher. Lots more reasons.

It was first, or at least very early, and widely adopted for broad PC platform. Similarly Steam wouldn’t get a pass if it only launched Valve games, I would assume.

I can get behind this comment.

Am I the only one to admit I clicked for the pic?

Well said. One (of many) of the stupid-ass arguments that drives me nuts is, “LUKE TRIED TO KILL HIS NEPHEW! WHAA?!”

I loved the fact that Luke had gotten crotchety and sarcastic in his old age (and come by it honestly, too). The whole notion that he should act exactly the same way when he’s 60 as he did when he was 25 is ridiculous.

Beautiful. 

Whatever else the movie did wrong, the idea of ‘TLJ ruining Luke’ from ‘hardcore’ fans is the most hilarious misunderstanding of Star Wars characters, lore and philosophy they could muster.

I hope this is just exhaustion and not something more serious.

Actually, no, I didn’t have to pay to see this movie, at least not directly. I have an AMC account, which I use fairly often, so my membership fee

You don’t have to believe me, but answer me this, what could I possibly gain by lying?

I feel like we’re burying the lede here. As awesome as Valentina is going to be, the real story here is that Yelena (who was played amazingly by Florence Pugh in yet ANOTHER stellar performance) is now on a collision course with the rest of the franchise, and is positioned to take up the mantle of Widow.

I fully picture Yelena yelling at Clint about how it should have been him instead of Natasha, and Clint just being like... yeah, no disagreement here.

They kind of have to. Because unlike comic book characters, actors age.

I’m glad they didn’t kill Taskmaster in this movie. After Batroc ze Leapair died a stupid and uncharacteristic death in Falcon & the Winter Soldier I thought the MCU just really hated having jobber-type antagonists.

I enjoyed it last night, but I had the unfounded expectation that we’d see at least one cameo from another Avenger. When she receives the jump jet at the end, I half expected Steve Rodgers to lower the ramp and walk out, with the movie fading to black immediately after.

My daughter “Awwwww”d big-time that Yelena got her dog. That is all.

The Thanos reveal was interesting, too, because they teased his obsession with Death, like in the comics, and then went in a totally different direction. So it started as a bit of an Easter Egg, and then developed. Just more evidence that the “grand plan” isn’t thought out that far in advance.
