I’m not sure I understand your complaint here. Isn’t the whole point of Early Access to provide a beta period that benefits both developers and consumers? It seems to incentivize getting feedback early and often without the risk of review bombing from bugs, and it lets passionate end users get an early taste and…

What’s sad is, even my youngest brother doesn’t have the patience for what little development occurs in Naruto, as evidenced by newer series that he enjoys. It seems to be a trend in media aimed at this demographic, the simplifcation and shortcutting of narrative, and I imagine that’s reflective of the audience in a…

The lack of Captain Marvel bothered me more than I hoped. It just...made so little sense that he wasn’t mentioned once the whole time.

Yes, the lack of incorporating the history of the comics organically in the background has been one of the more frustrating elements of DC’s output. If it’s from the comics, they put it in your face. If it’s an element that doesn’t take center stage, then “generic enemy grunt #4" will do.

In fairness (SPOILERS FOR BP2) Nakia did mention how she left Wakanda after The Snap took T’Challa, which makes sense when you consider the “character reveal” in the post-credits scene. 

Not getting to meet Kevin at a comic con may legitimately be one of my biggest life regrets that I could have done something about sooner. What a tragic loss.

If that’s the case, it’s unlikely Paul Bettany would continue on as the character. They just cast Black Manta as Wonder Man recently: https://deadline.com/2022/10/wonder-man-yahya-abdul-mateen-ii-to-lead-marvel-series-for-disney-plus-1235159111/

I honestly have no idea how you combat such deliberate manipulation like this. It’s legal to lie and falsely frame someone’s words and spread it like an infection. What can possibly be done here?

Yeah my takeaway for why this series resonates so far is that it respects the emotional intelligence of its audience. Calling it “adult” or “dark” really deflects from the fact that so much media writing aimed at younger audiences is half-baked or lazy.

Honestly, considering Batman’s history of collaboration across the hard sciences and mystic arts, seeing him in a JLD flick would be great.

That makes no sense. Dunk on the Snyderverse all day, that’s fine, but quality of writing and reception in the past does not need to dictate author interpretation in the future.

Honestly, I kinda fail to see the point of Black Adam without Captain Marvel/Shazam/whatever. I would hope Zachary Levi shows up to balance it out.

I wonder why they keep releasing this at 30 fps. It’s been a sticking point amongst my friends over the years, and we never revisit it unless there’s an original Gamecube copy and old Wii lying around. 

Crazy coincidence that I was just watching the original earlier today. Disney really knows how to tug on nostalgia strings, made clear by them shelling out for the original theme.

Nerdwriter1 actually had a good video on that several years ago - the dearth of military weapons development in Game of Thrones compared to our world.

All the more insulting, considering all of this content is available in the comments on a single page of the OG article

That retcon of Mr. Freeze is so iconic that any other iteration feels beyond hollow. It’s crazy that they came up with that for the show. The empathy in BTAS almost seems quaint now, compared to the types of stories we have been getting lately. 

Honestly, idk if I would have loved Batman nearly as much were it not for the tonal direction they chose to go with the show. The art style and typical plot beats may have been kid friendly, but thematically it always felt more real than other kids shows at the time. I may not have been able to articulate why at the…

I think this argument is strongest with the all-digital consoles. But for the ones with disc drives, I don’t see how this holds up? If the concern is whether it’s unfair to the consumer or the publisher, both have alternatives: buy from a brick-and-mortar or online retailer and plug the disc in. The all-digital…

It either is or isn’t legal for a company of such-and-such size to wield this level of control over software
