AFAIK we haven’t had it confirmed that they were due to COVID, have we?

I don’t think Missy was all that she could have been. Michelle Gomez is never not great, sure, but the character was too twee (even for Doctor Who), and lacked an essential part of the Master’s character, that being his sweatiness and desperation. She was just too collected, too together, and that’s down to Moffat’s…

I’m sorry I don’t believe for one hot second that a younger writer wanting to prove themselves wouldn’t jump at the chance of showrunning Doctor Who.

Gatiss would have been a total disaster imho. He is a writer no self-control whatsoever, and utter self-regard. He also can’t act for toffee, yet has been cast in loads of things because he’s mates with a lot of people (I presume he is a cool dude IRL), and I strongly suspect he’d feel the need to make himself a…

Re: Secret Invasion, I get that but I just don’t get why they tried to pull it at the same time as messing with all the multiverse stuff. It’s already so complicated they’re losing some of the general audience to “who cares” (which is bad, because the same audience followed along just fine previously), and this is a…

It’s particularly fucked-up because it seems like a female lead is considered more of something to talk about now than, say, 10 or 15 years ago, which is I think entirely due to the right wing successfully shifting the discussion.

“This time around, we keep hearing about the multiverse, incursions, and Kang, and it’s exactly the kind of shit no one wants to explain to their grandparents on the ride home.”

“What the fuck even happened in TF&TWS?”

I don’t think anyone is arguing Phase 4 didn’t establish anything, though, are they? If so you’re showing how wrong they are.

“Miracle Day was literally unwatchable, though. It just featured character after character making decisions that no human being would ever make under the circumstances.”

Agree completely on all points pretty much!

I love this.

“Doctor Who ran into this problem under RTD’s bloated tenure (seriously, why is anyone excited he’s coming back?)“

“I’m seeing the franchise in a transitional space between Cultural Event and theater-filler for those weekends without anything else interesting showing.”

The comic version was absolutely dire. To the point where I was genuinely shocked that they decided to do an MCU version. As you say, no-one remotely normal gives a single solitary fuck about it based on the premise, and honestly, I don’t even know any comics fans who are excited. My main D&D group is a bunch of…

Incredible how narrow some people’s tastes are.

Re: Neon palette shooter, Far Cry: Blood Dragon 2 is what we need. Also just generally. I honestly have no idea why Ubisoft haven’t just gone for it.

No. And I’m not sure what your actual goal is in misrepresenting the point being made here. This isn’t just people harassing women and paying poorly - that absolutely describes a ton of liberals.

“I thought the company was for nerds but I found out quickly that it’s for nerdy guys and no one else.”

He’s not an actual company lawyer, I see, looking him up.
