Which trailer was that? Didn’t see it.

Brilliant take on all of it.

Yup, and I went back and saw to my shock that I’d put 320 hours or so into The Witcher 3, including its expansion packs, which ultimately didn’t feel like a game I’d really overplayed.

To go back to this topic with a bit of a fresher take, I was just thinking through the claim I hear a lot people make these days of “Pixar movies aren’t as good as they used to be!” and wondering if that’s a) even true, and b) if yes, why?

Would love to see someone far more intelligent about film school stuff explain why this season just did not work at all.

Okay yes but also: who cares? Would Pascal actually being in the suit change anyone’s enjoyment of the show in the smallest way?

Yeah, I was hoping this was good, but I usually check per-episode ratings on imdb to see if:

Watched the first four episodes and couldn’t get into it. It felt too much like a mystery in search of a story, wasn’t able to bond with any of the characters.

Very soon? They literally already announced them.

I mean she’s in a movie so maybe that’s where they wanted her character to go? Loki’s not getting a movie that I know of.

Honest question: people tend to lean toward talking about all the downsides of AI and how it’ll result in so many people getting laid off, etc etc

In a universe of presumably billions of people, Captain Pike’s ex-girlfriend coincidentally being the prosecuting attorney for the trial of his own executive officer — and not recusing herself — was certainly a writing choice.

Nah, there really isn’t. Whether people asked for it or not is irrelevant.

Movie that nobody asked for?

I think I can speak on behalf of all of io9, and potentially the global movie-loving community at large, when I say thank you for sharing that knowledge with us.

I guess if I could make one edit here, I’d change FFVI, as to me the best part of it was all the major experimentation with storytelling risk-taking it did:

* Yes, Terra was at the heart of the story, yet there was really no one main character but just rather a collection of immensely lovable misfits, and your party…

In addition to Romancing the Stone, which should absolutely be on here, I’d make a strong argument for this one as well.

Er, its sequel features the literal, actual messiah but okay yes, the first one was just slightly more grounded.

Came here to say this. So glad I wasn’t the only one.
