Like I’m not saying that if I had two hundred million dollars or whatever that’s the show I would make, but it was kinda fun. I thought Ruby Cruz was quite good.

Less emphasis on stealth

This is genuinely one of the most rancid, thoughtless articles in the history of the AV Club. It is antithetical to what this website used to be. G/O Media should do us a favor and shut the whole fucking thing down.

“its not that much different from its predecessor”

Yes and no, I’d wager.

Let’s go with occams razor that FF7 is almost 26 years old and not everyone obsessively replays or mentally catalogues every single detail about it.

In the game proper, Shinra attempts to recruit Cid for the Tiny Bronco and the rocket, and they end up essentially hijacking the rocket until Cloud and the party intervene, then get stuck in the rocket thanks to the automatic launch. That’s not the same thing as Shinra succeeding in recruiting Cid or him actively…

“Jason X (I feel like people missed that it was intentionally ridiculous)“

Why would he be fired? Nothing drives engagement like people getting furious that someone likes a franchise in a slightly different order than they do. Listicles rely on people being unable to handle opinions.

This is a comment on the internet.

“I don’t want him frozen, Rowan…I want him soft”. Cronenberg really sells that walk-on role.

Either utter genius inspiration or a huge pile of cocaine.

Except Pamela Vorhees wasn’t “just out for revenge,” she was trying to keep the camp closed.

Yeah the way they bring Jason back is ridiculous, but I like how it gets right to the point afterwards. Jason VI wastes no time giving the people what they want, and it’s one of the most entertaining Friday films as a result.

They were straight up making it up as they went along those first few movies.
“Killer is an old woman!”
“NO! It’s a guy with a sack on his head!”
“NO! It’s a guy with a hockey mask!”
“NO! It’s a different guy with a hockey mask!”
“NO! It’s the original guy with a hockey mask, but now he’s a zombie!” 

Yeah that was actually a decent trivia question for a while.

The first Scream movie probably did more to teach the general public that Jason was not the killer in the first film than those that actually saw the first film and remembered this.

Part VI is ridiculous in that all the deaths that happen are Tommy’s fault - if he had just left well enough alone and not dug Jason up, he would have stayed dead. But they decided that Jason was dead at the end of Part IV, so they had to figure a logical (?) way to get him out of his grave.

I do have a soft spot for these, but I don’t really know why; for such shamelessly trashy films, a number of them are awfully dull. I actually prefer the more shamelessly silly/gimmicky (and Glam Metal and Synth-pop soundtracked) 5th thru 8th films to the first 4 (although the third has its moments). I think Jason…
