No, you’re right, that is insanity. I meant that the first Iron Man and the first Ant-Man have all the same beats - losing a company, evil executive who is Secretly the Bad Guy, a tech suit becoming a better tech suit, a hero who is inexplicably the hero instead of an objectively and obviously more competent female…

Except that all these movies following the Joseph Campbell model is their own fault because Campbell selectively read eight books by eight Europeans, declared he’d found a universal pattern, and then Hollywood made the pattern real by thinking it was true and basing every fucking movie on it.

I cannot over-stress…

I think I would refine his critique a little further and say that almost every Marvel film has an indexical final third act - no matter how different the opening of the two acts, no matter how diverse the character sets, to my mind the last third of every Marvel films devolves into an exhausting 30-45 minute fight…

If you even looked at this comment thread, or any comment thread, before being this much of an asshole to the writer, you would know that he and everyone else who writes for all the not-Gawker sites knows and agrees Kinja is doggshit. You want to be shitty about it be shitty to the indifferent venture capitalist scum…

fuck!

I have always believed in Skippy!

Because otherwise droids are canonically not lifeforms.

Honestly Star Wars’ approach to droids has always been strange - they want them to be a servile slave class without consequences but then sometimes wants you to love droids as you would a person as opposed to a really good popcorn…

So I found the first few episodes of this show formulaic and boring - a lousy hybrid of The Orville and Rick & Morty, without the love of the former or the bite of the later, but the show still seems very popular so I have to ask:

I found the best joke in the few episodes I watched to be Rutherford constantly changing…

I could manage the three characters my problem was that I hated all three characters even worse than I normally hate GTA protagonists, who uniformly suck.

I am a single player and I enjoyed a lot of the GTA V campaign but was ultimately frustrated in that it eventually caps you off at the knees. Where previous games like Vice City and San Andreas give you the ability to buy real estate and open businesses and keep a cash-flow coming in, V doesn’t - once you get that big…

Sorry my dude, but as bad as it sounds, at least Space Racist is a personality trait.

The only thing Kaiden does is act complete inappropriate to you, sexually harassing you at work after you ask him to stop. A prejudiced asshole Ashley may be, but she understands ‘no’ and I am glad Carth dies. Kaiden. Whatever. SAME…

Nope. It has slaves and an oligarchy - it’s a Petrodollar state like Bahrain sportswashing its image to look attractive to foreign investors. 

Look, speaking as someone whose watched every damn F1 race this season along with qualifying and practices (been watching it for a few years now I just want to stress my memory is fresh), Podracing is demonstrably F1. It’s international (they march out with the flags, emphasis is put on tracks being in different…

Whatever your opinions on A Force Awaken (my thoughts: a perfectly decent flick that did everything it had to to restart a moribund franchise without taking any risks), or Last Jedi (My thoughts: a fantastic third-act movie with a passable first act and appalling second act that manages to come near greatness despite…

Excuse you - Space Formula One, not Space NASCAR. Podracing is interesting.

Podracer is one of the best *racing* games of all time, never mind its franchise ties.

Carth Onassis is just Kaiden Alenko 1.0, and just like Kaiden he sucks ass.

That or its own bleak worldview means it can’t ever let genuine moments of emotion not be undercut with something shitty. I. thought the season 2 season finale was excellent, for example, and then undercut by the dumb return of season 3.

Rick and Morty... exists. It’s fine. It has a shitty fandom, but what doesn’t…

Man, the opportunity to brutally beat the ever-loving shit out of Doug just made this game appealing to me. Got a lot of childhood contempt I need to work out.

Since those five characters suck shit, I don’t want them to cast them.

I mean ideally Faile doesn’t need to be in anything.
