Some of this conversation seems to imply that Vellani has an exclusive contract with Marvel/Disney, but given that I don’t think any other project with her has been announced (and given the news here...) surely she’s going to just work on other things anyway?

lol what was she --15-16ish when she rated it? Because there’s definitely an ‘against the establishment’ age where I’d have posted negative reviews on shit I actually liked, just to be contrary....or you know, impress a chick or something. What I’m saying is any reviews by damn near any teenager should not be held…

I think this is what people expected from the Marvels. I don’t think anyone’s really saying that the Marvels is failing because it did not meet people’s expectations. Rather, it’s that people weren’t especially interested in what they correctly expected it to be.

I think the bigger problem is that the MCU doesn’t actually know what to do with Captain Marvel. She’s always treated like an afterthought. Even her first movie was a rushed thing where they had to explain her Endgame presence and didn’t even have a finalized script yet. Now her second film is something where the…

It has superheroes, it takes place in space, it’s not that deep, and it’s about teamwork and sisterhood.

As an audio engineer, I think of remasters and remakes as entirely different things.

Her? Yeah, no. Disney’s trying to eliminate that kind of stuff for even the biggest names. How successful they’ll be, I can’t say, but they do not want another Johansson kerfuffle. They want absolute freedom to call audibles on theater windows, streaming windows, and all the rest, and if you’ve got points spread out…

The Wii U sold 13.5 million consoles. The Switch has sold 132 million. So for uh, most people, Mario Kart 8 was brand new to them. And Nintendo has certainly been keeping it updated with DLC.

I think it’ll be interesting what a theoretical MK9 or new Smash Bros looks like, considering all the content in the current…

Good attitude for an actor to have, and in keeping with the level-headed positivity we’ve seen from her so far. Her job is to put in a good performance, she had a good time doing it, she likes what they made. Everything else is SEP.

I hate that the nemesis system is patented. Imagine how much better it could be if other game developers were allowed to innovate off of it instead of fearing a bunch of lawsuits.

Oh, that’s definitely Rowling.
Elon’s days were always numbered until the truth came out about how little he actually contributed to the things that made him famous in the first place. Jo actually did the thing that made her famous, so she’d still be sittin’ pretty if she hadn’t made the choice to lean hard into…

I look forward to the day Elon Musk and JK Rowling announce the winner of their “Who can squander their public adoration most thoroughly?” competition.

Who gives a fuck? Don’t buy it if you don’t want it. 

I cannot believe the rich asshole from apartide South Africa is definitely absolutely a nazi.  So... in the span of 6 years he went from the cool billionare to the nazi billionare who doesn't even try to hide it.  Quite the record. 

Don’t worry; ol’ Musky has been immediately forgiven by the ADL as soon as he posted some anti-Palestinian hate:

It’s pretty fucked to me that in a post where this person also characterized all Black and brown people as “hordes,” antisemitism has been chosen as the main takeaway. That “horde” language is exactly what is enabling the current genocide in Gaza, so it seems relevant to focus on that.

I don’t think there’s any major property that’s more careless with their license than TWD. You’ll see the scammiest mobile game imaginable, and its like, featuring Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead™, and it’s completely legit.

This is genuinely pathetic. The Part One remaster was barely justifiable so soon after the release of the PS4 remaster, but at least that was actually updating it for a new platform. Part Two is already one of the best looking games on the PS5; asking people to pay another $70 (because you fucking know it’s not gonna…

Might as well call it “We Can’t Get the Multiplayer Spin-Off Working and Need an Influx of Cash to Make Up For It: The Game”

A series with 2 entries and 3 remasters
