Isn’t there an effect here where people who spend a lot of money on a thing are primed to report that they enjoy it?

Daggerfall was the first Elder Scrolls game that I played, and was a really formative game for me. Of course, the obvious point to make is that the vast majority of the land area of the game was procedurally generated nothingness, though I do remember being chased for literal miles by a vampire, so that was neat. But…

Unless that’s exactly what they are, which is the case here.

Because not everyone thinks that it’s fine to passively accept bigotry. Whoever wants the mod can find their own way to host it and get fucked while doing so.

People need to be ok with not understanding everything that they want to know about a story right at the moment that they want to know it. People bitched endlessly about the first season of The Witcher, but all of the information that you need is there. You just have to wait a few episodes to get it. I’m sure that…

Just for funzonies I decided to look up a Star Wars map and see where D’Qar and Ach-To are located, and they’re about a third of the distance across the Star Wars galaxy. 

I refuse to admit that it’s not instant travel because we see characters travel from point A to B instantly and that’s how visual media works. If you watch a movie and a character gets into a car and the camera stays with the car for one block, where the car then parks and the character gets out, then the audience…

They’re just so convinced that the only problem was Whedon’s involvement and blinded by their love for Snyder that they can’t see that that movie was a mess from the start, top to bottom. There was no rescuing it, whether it was Whedon coming in halfway through after Snyder had to step aside, or when Snyder came back…

Absolutely. People more or less fell over themselves when it was released to say that it was an improvement over the theatrical release. But while the theatrical release wasn't a good movie, any gains the Snyder Cut made in additional scenes were destroyed by how bloated it was while not needing to be. People have…

For fuck's sake, I was joking in the other thread! Joking!

It doesn't matter because Ezra Miller will not appear in any future DC project. So the idea of teasing the next Batman is a nonstarter. If/when the Flash appears in another movie, he will be played by someone else. The Snyderverse is dead.

There are lots of ways to imply that trips in movies take a long time without needing to show the audience the whole trip or grinding the narrative to a halt. Indeed, you don’t even need to imply anything about the length of the trip and leave it vague or open to interpretation, as the original movies often did. But…

That’s just nonsense. These companies are trying to shed their human labor because they think that the executives and shareholders can make lots more money without those costs not because those costs make it impossible to turn a profit. It’s just greed, plain and simple.

The idea that travel isn’t instantaneous even though it’s portrayed as instantaneous doesn’t make sense. When we see Rey & Chewy enter hyperspace and then exit it seconds later without any cuts or movement the only conclusion is that we saw the whole trip. When Cal Kestis decides to go to a planet, sits in his chair,…

Actually, the only problem that I have with what’s going on with this search in Ahsoka is that it’s not clear to me what the connection is between Thrawn and these ancient artifacts. In Rebels Ezra used his connection to the space whales to propel Thrawn’s ship into hyperspace. I didn’t get the impression that Ezra…

Which is odd considering how unpopular sand is. I may be basing this on a small sample size, but people just seem to hate it.

That’s a good explanation but for the scale that we’re talking about. Even if the vast majority of space travel happens along established routes, we’re talking literally trillions of space ships operating over several thousand years. Some exploration is going to be done and with travel largely instantaneous, or at…

If tomorrow Feige decided that he wanted to retire to a life of fly fishing and he tapped me as his successor, my edict would be that no Marvel movie would be longer than 2.5 hours, with most closer to 2 hours, and that no more than .75 hours of the entire movie could involve fighting or large scale CGI.

The comparison to the original trilogy helps my point, not hurts it. The original trilogy often cut away from travel which allowed for unknown periods of time to pass. In the sequel trilogy, the TV shows, and games like Fallen Order travel between planets happens in moments. We see both the beginning of the trip and…

More than anything I wish that modern Star Wars just hadn’t leaned so far into the idea of instantaneous travel. In the original movies they would cut away from travel or show the characters spending time on the ship during travel. In Episode IV we don’t know how long it took to get to the Death Star, but you could…
