Ungreying it without really agreeing with the second point. I think that derision is an important (although delicate) tool - especially against all the arbitrary conservative sanctifications/fetishisms (religious, national, ethnic, etc) that are based on taking the meaningless extremely seriously.

-Which version of Apocalypse Now is definitive?

I predict one of the following:

The concerns exist, but they are not objective or universal. Conservatives freak out at the idea that their cultural (and ethnic) landscape will cease resembling their childhood memories of it (which they imagine “ancestral” or unchanged so far). It’s a “real” concern in the sense that it’s a real emotion. But the…

Or : a challenge for education (in knowledge and in critical thought process).

and the result is

Are you also counting the godwin points in ww2 documentaries ?

Yes. There’s no ideal (which for me would kinda mean “ideally anarchistic” I guess) solution to this. I understand that the US is grounded on the Red Scare, and has built its modern identity in the legitimately reversed mirror of Cold War USSR and its State-centered totalitarianism, so the idea of having a…

So, haven’t watched the video yet, but does he address the title question ?

I’m anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

Minimal baselines of okay are okay.

Yes they were, but these series look good at flashing out the dull, flat MCU characters that deserved a bit better. It’s actually their main function.

Yeah, same mindset. 2019 and 2020 have been so damaging that I haven’t been able to watch something “real” for ages (real life thoughts bumping in my head, and the loss of people I used to share these things with, including a strange form of “survivor’s guilt” that makes some good things unbearable because good and…

The MCU films have two main qualities : they are entertaining an they are spectacularly forgettable, meaning that you can watch them for the very first time many times.

Still, can’t pretend the AI isn’t acting rationally when it spots torpedoes in the water.

Unfortunately, that would be a pretty accurate interpretation too.

“A discovery of witches”. I know nothing of it. All I see is the image on that video display I’m not clicking. But already : a which, preparing a dragonball-like firebolt between her hands. Again, wandavision. It will go pewww. Witchcraft, see. Nothing to do with martial art energy. Or telekinetic robot blast. Or d&d…

Still playing with the (unofficially early access) War on the Sea, which is full of sea. Clunky interface to tame, and several AI shortcomings, both in terms of tactics and strategy. But it’s still varied, letting you toy with surface ships

Yes, the RE games has always been known for their top notch voice acting, I think it’s important to keep the same quality in a series adaptation.
