When it comes to various artforms, theres a legitmate argument to be made about dilution. The internet IS a great unifier. Which leads to a flattening, an “embeigening” if you will, of culture and art.

There are always going to be unforeseen negatives to any huge shift of communication. The best we can do is engage in…

I find myself in the rare position of having no access to the source material outside of the osmosis of being an anime watcher. That might be for the best.

If this show were sent back in time to 9-14 year old me, it would the best goddamn thing I had ever seen in my life.

Shannon Sharpe has made some very good points and made some solid statements, but I haven’t made it a point to follow him, so I don’t know what the problem people have with him is. As far as I’ve seen, he has more insight on pretty much everything than Stephen A Smith, so I think it’ll make for interesting television.

I’ve already adopted the stance of not watching anything until it ends. The show that offers an experience worthy of just viewing without an effective conclusion is quite rare and ironically somehow even more annoying in the long term.

ALL of that. The cycle was readily apparent when they started the rapid price increases and ads at Hulu. They think they can ride it out until the next “big thing”. As capital tends to do. THere’s always a new bubble that will cause rapid growth.

They are sadly suffering from massive disconnect from the real world. THe…

Smart, insightful, and nuanced. I expect to see you greyed-out soon.

This guy... I wonder about him. I’m not a fan of his sense of humor, and he tends to have a very childish writing style, but he does have an ability to find the emotional core of a story and deliver it to the audience, and that’s a huge improvement on most of the trash from comicbook movies of late. I don’t think MCU…

This is it. The lack of quality storytelling is the downfall of even the most charming and well-intentioned indie game. I liked Fell Seal (the most successful of the independent imitators to date, IMO) but I will never LOVE Fell Seal. Both the presentation and the story fall far short of it’s forebears.

It’s a…

On average, most fans acknowledge that FFT and Tactics Ogre were equally great, but with different goals. Both have never been equalled.

Esthetically,FFT was definitely an evolution. How could it not be, going from one generation to another? But I wouldn’t say the systems were better. More accessible, in some ways.…

There’s a certain type of person who has difficulty understanding that collective action at the expense of short term personal gain is often required for the very survival of our posterity. Those people who will always view everything from a very “i got mine, f*ck you” position, unless it’s about something that (direct…

It reminds me of the Wachowski Speed Racer, or Scott Pilgrim, in the utter shamelessness and willingness to be silly. I appreciate that. I really do. More of that with a good budget please.

Sounds like it’s weird, funny, bright, good-natured, and gives a light ribbing to certain aspect of society. The internet is definitely going to hate it.

AVClub is literally a click away. What is even happening here..?

There’s something to be said for the raw honesty on display here, and I love them for that. It kind of is the core of the success of the show. Being honest and vulnerable, damn the torpedoes.

Exactly. People (most of them much dumber than James Cameron) have a naive idea that Money men care about “quality” and that the “market” will make sure human creativity will always rises to the top.

If that’s all you gathered from it, then I’m sorry i wasted my time even copypasting.

Might broaden your understanding a bit:

And that’s why capitalism is failing, and it feels like it’s on purpose. Because it kind of is.

This definitely isn’t the forum for it, so I don’t want to argue, but it seems like no one who argues for capitalism is willing to say, “Wait, no... this isn’t how this is supposed to work.” Which might be a path to... …

At it’s worst, I assumed there had to be a house on fire on my street in Chicago. “What’s burning?!” “Canada” is a conversation I would expect there to be more freaking out about.

It’s making everything slightly worse. Cold, asthma, allergies: every illness lasts longer. I’ve never wanted to be permanently on…
