That’s the eternal rejoinder of people who defend a hierarchical status quo, even those who leaven it a bit with democratic underpinnings.

Sure, but it’s really only interesting to talk about people whose faces are inexplicably or counterintuitively punchable.

(Mike Richards, clearly drugged, slowly wakes up in the back of a MikeRichardsCab.)

I know, it’s really hard to imagine how a person who committed the I’m-my-own-grandpa version of super-nepotism could possibly be so shitty, right?

I’ll die on this fucking hill:

It’s a classic screenwriting tradeoff. The moment is more important than the whole. Oh my god, Ego just reinforced that he’s completely out of touch with the regular human experience in exactly the way that would cause our all-too-human protagonist to wake up and kick ass!

After only an hour or two with the game, I also have serious concerns that the lack of clear personalities and playstyles is going to lead people to push hard on the meta and snuff the spark.

Well sure, probably get himself a Boseman clone.

You’re watching a completely legal pump’n’dump in action, where there’s a very small chance that nobody is even actually creating the pump’n’dump on purpose.

It got super weird that we got literally no conversations about that with anyone for the entirety of Phase 1. What’s sad is that the MCU’s version of Thanos would’ve only been enriched by progressively unraveling in response to completely solid criticisms of his plan. He was set up as a traumatized individual using a…

That’d be a great comic relief moment in the movie for sure.

The minute you decide that only one player can win, shit gets incredibly predictable both in design terms and optimal-endgame-play terms.

I’d say they did Lois justice too. The twins weren’t bad either.

I do wonder how much of this shitshow is down to the doublethink encouraged by art-as-commerce.

I think it’s pretty obvious that they’re going to cheat and have the Smallville Gazette magically become the exclusive source of Superman interviews and whatnot. Which is kind of hilariously awesome and “true” (such as it is.) That is indeed what it would take for a small town newspaper to remain solvent in 2021.

The X-K stuff technically holds together internally, but it just feels bad.

These people live in constant fear of being “cucked,” and “pure seed” hysteria is inextricably intertwined with all of that. If the impure-but-aggressive brown seed doesn’t get ya (or get ya wimmins, more precisely,) then the jewish-liberal-Democrat-communist conspiracy will just have to attack the quality of your own…

Don’t worry, there’s a mod to make jizz jars weightless.

We might as well be criticizing Kotaku for posting a picture of a lawyer in a lawyer suit doing lawyer things, in an article about said lawyer.

Well yes, that is the original reference. But the truly relevant connection is Patrice O’Neal.
