Isildur’s failure is pretty overblown and I blame the movies for that. He never stood in Mount Doom and decided not to chuck the ring in. The true nature of the ring wasn't even made apparent to him until later, and nobody (not even Elrond) knew the true extent of it's power. So yeah, he had hubris enough to think he…

This screed might ring a bit more true if Kotaku hadn’t put an link to the film’s trailer in the article. Writing about it on Kotaku isn’t going to do or mean much, but directing people to check out the actual marketing material of the ‘movie’ will, if nothing else, increase it’s visibility on YouTube and that isn't…

I got really baked a couple of years ago and naturally rewatched both those series on Hulu. I think the Tyson joke was in like episode 5 of Tiny Toons. I had to rewind it four or five times to make sure I wasn’t imagining it.

There was also the Tiny Toons joke about how he was a domestic abuser. I remember that being odd.

That kind of brings up a point. How do you get residuals from a streaming only show? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m just curious. Like is it a metric based on viewers for a show? Subs? A lot of these creators do this because they love (loved?) the work, but man. I’d be hard pressed to get excited about a gig if…

Yeah. I guess SR1 felt too much like a basic GTA rip off where SR2 was the first time it felt like its own game. I’m also not going to say I enjoy the dark stuff either, but I think it was oddly presented well, especially for the time. Like you spend the opening off the game just being the gleeful psychopath but then…

SR2's more disturbing moments really only felt super out of place with SR3 and SR4. Like the girlfriend in the trunk thing follows one of your gang members being dragged to death behind a truck through the city and you putting radioactive waste into a guy’s tattoo ink. Then there’s the other gangs, one of whom murders…

Vic’s creepy sexual harassment and whatever else was pretty well known by everyone for years. It’s only really when HE got the idea that the people lying for him or defending him were all actually right that HE decided to to sue for defamation. Vic being a creep would have just been the same thing it was if HE had not…

I mean...some of these guys were probably creeps but ghosting people is kind of a shitty thing to do just generally. I’m not really sure it’s behavior to be bragged about.

So inconsistent with the movie, but consistent with the rest of the franchise

So it will barely have Goku?

They’ll just have to wait for Jason Schrier to do a write up on Bloomberg about it, which make take a while. I hear that a Jason Schreier has that job on pretty good lock.

I can say with 100 percent certainty that he won’t be mad at Amazon regardless of how the show plays out.

That’s actually not true, which makes it even more wild. The plaintiff’s attorney had no legal requirement to notify Jones’, still do so as basically lawyer courtesy, and they still didn’t assert privilege with anything more than a ‘please disregard’, which isn’t legally binding.

You are right. They don’t recoup it like as in getting 90 million or whatever back as a check for 90 million. It’s registered as a loss, which means whatever they ‘lose’ offsets some of the taxes on the stuff they didn’t. Broadly speaking they get to write off the loss as a deduction to offset gains on a more…

You can just say American Dad did it first. The glorious weirdness of that show is assumed.

At least they were (so far) willing to pull the plug on it rather than release something shitty

Is the equivalent of saying Rome was essentially a generation ago.

And yet, still somehow true.

And yet, in this case, somehow true.
