Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, and the first Ghostbusters reboot all belong to a category of movies that are really terrible films but are difficult to critique effectively without inadvertently summoning an army of bad-faith actors who just want to be as misogynistic as possible. The problem with all those movies is…

I just picked up Odyssey, having not played an AC game since... uh, a couple hours of the first one fifteen or so years ago.

So what I got is this puzzling scene with Leonidas of Sparta, an extremely baffling scene of some modern lady who finds a spear and then lays down on a table, but it’s over in two minutes and…

This is a headline news article about... a rehash of an anecdote that’s been known for years. You can find an IGN article that covered this back in 2014, and can probably go back farther if you so bother.

It’s the breathless treating this as something revelatory that I find so vexing.

I loved LOST but those massive episode orders produce a lot of dreck.

Oh, rad! I thought it was a subscription+box thing.

Huh, it’s almost like you deliberately ignored what the author was saying in order to imply they were simply salty that a television adaptation was different without interrogating their point about why it was different and what that meant for the nature of the adaptation itself.

Don’t I have to buy the box?

Does it allow me to finally kill Goofy and bury his body in my virtual backyard so I never again have to hear him do a brain-numbing combat sound in Kingdom Hearts? Or just as revenge for that vore Mickey Mouse Shorts short?

Because if not I am not interested.

Yes but if you watch the trailer you will will very swiftly realize you were mistaken.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story will be available to stream on Roku pirate Friday, November 4.

Why?

I mean the obvious answer is ‘because all franchise content is mined to death now to a degree that is nauseating’ but let’s pretend like io9 writers do that all this geyser of nonstop product doesn’t average-out to anything other than risk-free mediocrity on an industrial, and instead just interrogate this bit of…

“in contrast with the LotR movies of the 200s”

I’m glad you brought this up. Despite its racial problems (it didn’t cast a single Gaul), Septimius Severus’ adaptation of LOTR is severely underrated.

The idea that anyone takes The Dark Knight Returns seriously, or treats it with any reverence when it’s this lurchingly mean-spirited, often creepy, and poorly written mess (with some of the worst art in the business), baffles me.

I like how they draw the eye to Spidey’s penis.

Or at least not anybody in my income bracket.

I came here to say something similar. Has Spawn gained a dingle new fan in the last twenty years? Does anyone under the age of thirty know Spawn, and would find anything about him palatable or interesting if they did?

You telling me my innocent-seeming Animal Crossing island is in fact the graveyard of hundreds of buried lady bots?

Well, you’re very, very wrong.

Jesus Christ.

That’s what I certainly would never do!
