The really wonderfully weird thing about the show is how much time and effort go into the “cooking monsters” bits. The review really doesn’t cover it that much, but the show is pretty much 2/3 DnD tropes, while 1/3 is something that you would imagine being on a fantasy version of the Cooking Network, with discussions…

Amazing how the original Avatar show already predicted this remake.

Both of those tropes are well over 10 years old, and Google is your friend, friend.

First off: It takes a LOT of balls to complain about the “perpetually online middle class with nothing better to do.” when you post as many whiney posts as you do.

Serious Florida Man vibes.

Have you seen the extremeness of the short-sighted greed of these guys?

Geez, Brian, this is almost as crazy as that one time Quagmire found out love can bloom on a battlefield. 

YOU LET MY BEAUTIFUL KARLACH DIE?!?!

I’m more than happy that they did it the way they did.  I dunno I personally like my expectations challenged by media.  It makes me appreciate it more. 

It’s the fact that it’s EVERY. SINGLE. Franchise and adaptation.

“Most “angry white guys who hate women, etc” aren’t upset that women can be heroes, or black people are replacing white characters, or that LGBT stories extist”

And yet you still wrote multiple paragraphs about why you’re mad about it.

The thing is that you “angry white guys” also react this way to comics that had “strong female characters” and “LGBT stories” from the beginning. Like Scott Pilgrim. Which first came out in 2004.

The 2010 movie came out too soon to include one LGBT storyline, and minimized the other because of time constraints. That’s…

“Most “angry white guys who hate women, etc” aren’t upset that women can be heroes, or black people are replacing white characters, or that LGBT stories extist. They’re annoyed at the enormity at which those things happen, often seeming extremely deliberate in it’s attack on “straight white men”.”

“They’re annoyed at the enormity at which those things happen, often seeming extremely deliberate in it’s attack on “straight white men”

Oh come on. As a straight white man, absolutely none of those stories with female or minority or LGBTQ even remotely feel like an “attack”. You know why? Because I’m a well adjusted…

Cry some more nerd

This is a hilarious instance to get upset about what you’re claiming though. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is already a deliberate attack on the straight white male protagonist. Scott Pilgrim is not a likable character (that was a big part of why I had mixed feelings about the movie). The point is that he’s a selfish…

The original series was about a guy fighting his girlfriends seven evil ex boyfriends who were all given the personalities of pop culture archetypes in video gamesesque battles.

Nah, it was actually great, and a majority of the criticism comes from people who can’t process stories they don’t immediately relate to.
