Backlogged: Oops, I Forgot To Post Last Night Edition

As always, your expertise (and warnings) are greatly appreciated.

That’s good to hear about King’s Quest VI, though it’ll be a while before I get there, since I plan on playing the series through (my completionism strikes again).

Backlogged: Long Time No See Edition

I thought that was what the AV Club comments were for haha. But clearly we’re at an impasse, so let’s agree to disagree. Have a nice day.

I’m not arguing against a Latina Batwoman in general; I thought I made that clear in my original comment. But this specific adaptation of Batwoman has already been established as a white woman, with white parents and a white twin sister (plus a white child actor playing her younger self). It would be strange and…

I mean, Stephanie Beatriz is great, but surely it would be a little odd if Kate Kane/Batwoman was suddenly, you know, Latina? I’d have no problem with the race change if she had been cast from the get-go, but considering how much of the show’s drama is centered around her relationship with her white twin sister (and…

It’s absolutely not nitpicking. 10% of a million is ‘a lot’. It is nowhere near ‘most’ (i.e. >50%). Different words do, in fact, mean different things. (Those numbers aren’t based on anything, I’m just demonstrating a point.)

I know I’m late to the party but there actually is a little sting of it during the *SPOILERS FOR REBELS?* Ahsoka and Kanan vs. Maul fight in Rebels. (You can hear it at about the 19 second mark in the below vid.)

There go the (admittedly slim) chances of MCU Hercules happening, I guess.

Fan #3 here. And I loved Uprising. There was an 18-month or so period where half a dozen of the animated shows I was watching got cancelled (including The Clone Wars and Young Justice), and Uprising was the one that hurt the most. So much potential.

But *I* want Patrick Warburton as Gorilla-Man from the Agents of Atlas!

I think the main problem is that when you try to adapt a video game, you’re not *really* adapting a story. Video game stories tend to be long, repetitive and heavily objective-based, and they don’t really translate into neat, 90-120 minute narratives with satisfying character arcs and interesting themes. (There are…

I mean, based on the admittedly limited sample size of ‘me and my friends’, one’s enjoyment of Detective Pikachu seems to be inversely proportional to one’s familiarity with the Pokemon franchise.

How about letting one of your Sims die, waiting for the Grim Reaper to come into their house to collect the ashes, and then deleting all the doors so that he’s forced to bum around your house for a few days? (I think he teleported away eventually; it was a long time ago.)

Shining in the Darkness is actually one of the other lengthy 1991 games on my list, though it will probably be a while before I get around to it. I’ll definitely be giving it a go, but it may turn out to be another game I move on from before it’s done. And I’ll definitely make sure to follow up with Shining Force…

Alright, I’ll give Rainbow Islands a go. But that’s it! (Thanks for the recommendation haha.)
