This looks like it’s concentrated on Geralt and Yenneffer meeting the first time, Ciri’s origins, Geralt first refusal to claim her and then Ciri and Geralt trying to find each other during the war. Also Sodden Hill battle. I wonder how they would mold it into one coherent timeline since many of these are decades…

I’d recommend Tor.com for another place on the internet that has those insightful articles, posts from authors, thoughtful commentary, and just general positivity about nerd things that have made me love io9 so much.

Another Life might fall into the so bad it’s good if not for requiring 10x the time investment of a bad movie. I think the writers decided that the interesting thing about science fiction is the human drama and turned it to 11. The crew could not build an Ikea desk without two mutinies, an accidental death, and an…

Deadspin and io9 are two oases in the internet hellscape off MAGAt sports fans and teenage troll movie fans (looking at you IGN comment section). If this community dies, the camaraderie of open minded individual discussing their hobbies will be difficult to rebuild.
To all of you who have had reasoned discussions with…

This is as good a place as any to say goodbye.

Rian Johnson could be going through a Paul Feig type situation. Paul feig did really poorly with Ghostbusters reboot, but did really well with A Simple favor. Maybe Rian isn’t built for hug Star Wars Films, does well with something like Knives Out.

• Like Lena, we all get upset when friends lie, especially when they do so for years. But notice how the rest of us are not plotting deadly revenge or making new friends out of computers?

I agree. It’s like Marvel crowing about Endgame being the top-grossing film of all time while ignoring inflation. The details matter.

I think Frank Herbert… when he wrote it he didn’t really live in an understandably equal environment.

I feel there should be a caveat when referring to R rated films success worldwide, as other countries don’t match America’s rating system. For example Suicide Squad and Venom had the same age rating as Joker in the UK, despite being PG-13 stateside. So should money those movies made in certain territories quality them…

I think a Freeze film could do really well. Nora has a terminal illness, Victor and Nora are fucked over by the pharmaceutical company they both work for to the point that Victor has to cryogenically freeze Nora to keep her alive while he searches for a cure; only to find out the disease was created by the…

I, uh, didn’t say I want to die.

Take off the fanboy hat. This isn’t about DC vs. Marvel. Its about the fact they’ll take superficial lessons away rather then more important lesson, that taking risks and making good films is more important than franchise bait.

Hope you like Batman, because now every fucking character related to him ever is going to get their own film. I mean, those that don’t already have their own TV shows. COMING IN THE FALL OF 2022: CONDIMENT MAN! HE’S HERE TO BRING THE FLAVOR!

I... I don’t think Herbert presented the faufreluche system with its sexism and frozen class structure as an ideal to be upheld. Indeed, it’s pretty clear that it’s stagnant, corrupt, and will lead to humanity’s doom.

Agreed. The weird “tic”, that every single moment had to be undercut with a joke (to the point where you could time the “punchline” to the exact second every time) was the one thing that I didn’t like about Ragnarok.

I think Frank Herbert… when he wrote it he didn’t really live in an understandably equal environment. And the book is great! It has beautiful moments in it. It’s not really where we are or where we should be.

In conversation with Wired, Taika Waititi described Love and Thunder as “more bombastic” than Thor: Ragnarok.

Well, it was literally founded by Puritans. They’re like a red sock in the washer.
