I would love if the show just committed to the semi-comedic theme that “Boba Fett is a great fighter, but an incredibly incompetent manager and maybe not super bright. Like Michael Scott with a jetpack”

The difference being that Sony’s studios have always been exclusive and that’s been a known quantity in the industry for a while now. Microsoft is now buying a ton of companies that have always made games basically console-agnostic or whatever, and now may not be. It’s an expectations game.
Kotick was always getting a large payday when he leaves, regardless of this buyout.

So because Sony already toss them big time dollars to make them exclusives MS is somehow worse for doing the same thing when they buy them? Do you think studios make exclusives out of the goodness of their hearts? Sony is throwing them cash/incentive’s. Just because they are not owned by Sony doesn’t mean they were… Read more
I’m just glad that years of vile and terrible behavior will be punished by... checks notes... being purchased by a larger company for a large sum of money and Kotick will keep his job. The lesson, as always, is be white and wealthy.
Thank you for your reasonable take on this, as a Sony gamer, I get tired of seeing the “bUt SoNy ExClUsiVes!” takes. Sony nurtures its studios for a long damn time before acquiring them, and oftentimes gives talented but smaller developers opportunities that they might not otherwise have (looking at you, Housemarque).… Read more
“But Sony buys studios too!” say folks who ignore that they buy studios who largely already make them exclusives, whereas Microsoft buys studios that used to make games for everyone and now limits them to Microsoft. Read more
That’s literally a huge plot point in the movie.
These HBO DC TV shows have been knocking it out of the park. Doom Patrol, Harley Quinn, Watchmen, the gone too soon Swamp Thing, Superman & Lois, and now Peacemaker. Read more
I can’t stand professional wrestling. Everything about it makes me hate it even more. It’s the one piece of pop culture/sports/whatever that I will not ever watch. Ever.

I personally disliked them killing the mother, but fine, that is a stylistic/narrative choice the writers made and I can accept that. What I disliked was Ted *immediately* going back to Robin. The whole run of the show, the writers took great pains to point out that Ted and Robin weren’t right for each other, even if… Read more
How has no one mentioned that insane opening credits sequence?? I was so shocked by it that I immediately had to watch it again to process it.
It is amazing that they actually hit a home run with Miloti, which was nearly impossible to do... then pissed it all away with how they handled her story. This is like pulling an all-nighter to finish that term paper, getting the research done, writing it well, actually doing a phenomenal job, finishing it with an… Read more
Look, if you ever thought that The Mother was going to be alive, it’s your own damn fault for not passing 6th-grade reading comprehension.
Among some of the clues:
The fact that The Mother is only ever referred to in the past tense
The fact that The Mother never makes an appearance in the “present day” parts
The fact… Read more
Absolutely loved it. Was pissing myself laughing throughout. Read more
Me reading the review body: “OK, I enjoyed Suicide Squad and I know what to expect from this. It’s going in the queue.” Read more
I wasn’t sold on Cena’s Peacemaker until his showdown with Flag in the movie, and the one with Bloodsport later on. Cena acted the hell out of those little shifts in Peacemaker’s expression in those moments.
People claiming Betty White died due to the COVID vaccine is basically that Sarah Silverman joke made real: “My grandmother recently passed. She was 96, so naturally I suspect foul play."
I gave Ray Donovan a short chance at the beginning, but I find Liev Schreiber to be such an annoying, unlikeable actor that I couldn’t stick with it. You would have to pay me to watch this.
