I also think they’re probably looking at the games that will do bigger business in the multiplayer space, which is not Starfield or Indy. Those are single player experiences.

Yes, good summary of the “conversation”.

I loved that even as a supervillain he was such a nonstop dork.

It’s not a super thin excuse. The point is not how easily you CAN access the information necessary to make a story element make sense. The point is that you shouldn’t HAVE to. A narrative should be self-contained enough that outside research is UNNECESSARY. This is not just a criticism of MCU shit, this is relevant to…

Yeah, I get that PCVR is great. What about Xbox? Would you like to talk about Xbox, the whole reason, AGAIN, that I even brought up PSVR? Or maybe tell me why Quick Resume is more impressive than I’m crediting it? Or anything relevant at all to the topic?

But the show already dealt with that. What was the point of having Wanda go through the events in the show only for her next on-screen appearance to go completely against where she was by the end? If Marvel wanted that to be Wanda’s trajectory we should have had a second season of WandaVision to demonstrate the…

This is the kind of circular bullshit that makes these such pointless conversations. If you want higher quality graphics you CAN connect to a PC. But you’ll need a tether, which is one of your complaints, AND a PC that’s capable of running that kind of game. Which is obviously also at least $400, and let’s be real…

And in the case of MoM/WandaVision in particular it didn’t even fucking matter because any character arc Wanda earned in the show was demolished by the movie. The show ends with her coming to a self-realization and accepting her grief. She does take the Darkhold, which does *hint* at a possible corruption, but the…

If we’re going to talk about preferences, I don’t personally care that much about tethered vs untethered. The cable is plenty long enough that I *rarely* have an issue with it. My system is not that far away from my play space. After my experience with PSVR1 I was tempted by Quest but ultimately the kind of game I…

Ah shoot, you’re right! I should probably watch this again soon. It’s been a while. It was one of the first special edition DVDs I bought.

We don’t talk about this nearly enough in these spaces. A movie failing is not inherently a sign of hate or boycott or anything like that. It’s just as often, or even usually, apathy. Which doesn't mean anything qualitative about a film. Audiences can be fickle. If that wasn't the case we'd never have "cult classics".

I think the fact that Professor Impossible is such a spot-on parody of Reed's less great qualities demonstrates that your overly rosey impression of the character is maybe no more sensible than the "edgy" one about which you're whining.

I'm on board for all of this *except* the mini comic idea. If your story requires you to consult outside media it has failed. I'm fine with *enhancing* a film with tie-ins but don't make it a requirement.

And every time I read this variety of retort I have the same response. Just about EVERY narrative film can be understood on a basic level. *Of course* Marvel films can be followed. But to get the *most* *intended* narrative value out of them there IS an expectation that you’ve consumed all the other shit. OF COURSE I…

Admittedly it's been a while since I threw this DVD on but didn't Nino collect photo booth strips because one of his several jobs was a photo booth tech? I seem to recall that being a mystery Amelie had to solve.

Just gonna be me for a moment. I both very much mean this and recognize that I’m being ridiculous.

Maybe all the world-shaking events has screwed with our sense of proportion? Could be? Possibly?

This comment is under review by Jared Padalecki’s social media team.

My favorite complaint from a movie review about this film is that evolutionarily it makes ZERO SENSE for a spider to deliver venom that makes its victim *more powerful*.

And you don’t seem to understand nuance.
