I take your point but jokes aside Black Window was the only good Phase 4 movie.

I just don’t get why so many people passionately defend the right of megacorps to produce shitty garbage for children. I don’t know, I think kids deserve better than shit, but I guess I’m weird that way.

That does sound like fun - ‘play whatever you want, whenever you want’ is a far better philosophy than we get from companies these days.

... they’re cardboard with ink, dude. They cost fractions of cents to produce, and come out of the same printers as the rest of them. The only reason they ‘rare’ is a deliberate choice by the manufacturer to produce a small number to create a scarcity market - it is artificial scarcity by design.

Comparing this choice…

The continued weekly drama over the ups and downs of the fake-scarcity market is extremely funny.

Have you never seen a good kid movie? One that was fun, smart, entertained kids and adults. and had something to say? What is wrong with you people that you’re always so eager to stand up for poor, vulnerable mediocre kids entertainment maybe by multi-billion dollar mega-corporations who can outlay the trivial expense…

Why didn’t they consult me, the most important person in the universe?

As someone who buys a computer with the hope that I can get at least a decade’s use out of it, the idea that I could have purchased enough computers to have developed a pattern of first-installs is beyond me.

It was like needing Wonder Woman to succeed even though Gal Gadot is frequently out-acted by standees of Gal Gadot.

Brie Larson has thus-far been squandered in a non-entity character who got showed up in her own movie by a bunch of better-developed male characters getting the lion’s share of the movie’s focus.

It was so frustrating how everyone piled on Captain Marvel to shit all over it for staring a woman instead of piling on it for actual valid reasons, like the terrible lighting, bad editing, or the fact that nominally the first female-led Marvel movie spends a huge chunk of its time going ‘gee what’s badly de-aged Nick…

I count the time I went out with friends who were Pokémon GO players to be one of the most tedious outings of my life. IT always felt like the outline of a game, like everyone was still waiting for the actual game to arrive.

Star Wars lore is always layered, and each layer after the first layer is stupid.

I’m not even being facetious: all deep Star Wars lore is deeply stupid and runs entirely off the false premise that more is better. It’s what led to something like the Obi-Wn show where he can’t just have been a hermit hiding in the…

We don’t talk like that. What you want is “It’s a me, Mariou!”

... those movies are so utterly divergent I cannot for the life of me ascertain what rhetoric point you were trying to make about ‘films like that’ beyond critically successful.

No one—anywhere—expected the Mario movie to be the next Whiplash. At all. It never came up.

One led from the other, honestly.

So did my first two husbands.

Skimming over your comment I thought ‘Catalan’ was ‘Canadian’ and had a brief, delightful thought of Mario’s voice being re-recorded so as to make sure Canadians weren’t exposed to nasty American diphthongs.

Fuck. Fuck they did. Fuck they did and I forgot.

God fucking damnit.

But will they finally fix the bug that keeps me from changing my base’s colours for a year?
