I only just bought a PS5 a few months ago and I don’t have an Xbox Series or a PC capable of modern gaming. Going from a PS4 and XB1 (and a Switch, which I still play), I bought the PS5 for exlusives - Spider-Man, Horizon, FF7R (and Baldur’s Gate 3, though it has since come out on Xbox as well). I don’t have as much…

The Ms Marvel references might just be that he’s the only (AFAIK) other South Asian person of note in the entire MCU. Plus, if they reference Kingo as an actor, it’s like a sly thing, because we the audience know he’s a superhero but the characters don’t.

It’s a little relevant to his character, who himself was a Bollywood action movie star in-universe. In fact, since at the time he was pretending to be the third famous Kingo, it would make sense to try and alter his physique so he could pass as a different guy than “his father” and “his grandfather”.

For what it’s worth, I thought Kumail as Kingo was one of the high points of an otherwise forgettable movie.

I still gotta beat this game the first time, I got it and a PS5 a few months ago but then I got distracted with Baldur’s Gate 3.

I gotta be honest, I haven’t played Sonic Adventure 2 in a while, but this is the song I most associate with it and would love to see in the movie:

Judging from the Wikipedia plot summary (I also doubt I’ll play it), this appears to have passed the scope of the Suicide Squad’s typical “do a really dangerous mission in exchange for lessened prison time” MO; Brainiac has brainwashed almost the entire Justice League and so the Suicide Squad can use all the help they…

Yeah, true, but if your primary goal is “stop being hungry” it will probably hit the spot.

It’s also a great deal - sure, I don’t want to use it every week for a year, but at $200, you’re saving money if you use it 7 times in a year. Past that, you have 45 weeks in the year where you get a free $30 meal. I’m not eating at Applebees that much (I don’t remember the last time I went), but they are legally food…

I haven’t played the Rebirth demo, but IMO it was pretty clear from Remake that they were doing something different than just a literal remake in these games. It felt like they were the same characters from the OG Final Fantasy VII that, from whatever means, were forced to go back and re-enact those events.

What’s funny is that past the obvious, that she thinks that she should be allowed to be antisemitic and transphobic online as much as she wants and otherwise say whatever she pleases without her non-government employer being able to do dick about it (let’s get Roseanne in on this while we’re at it), is that she wasn’t…

Hell yeah

I gotta assume it’s a glitch but I guess we’ll see if it ever gets fixed

Yeah, a bad movie is VERY RARELY the fault of the actor(s) in it. And on the off-chance that an actor gave a bad performance, you can ultimately still put it down to the editors for not picking better takes, the directors for not getting better takes in the first place, and the casting department for not casting…

No, obviously if there’s anything you like to do to fake people made of pixels and polygons, you’re totally cool with doing it to real flesh and blood people as well.

I loved The Last Jedi, but if the studio wasn’t willing to stand by it and it’s creative statement (and clearly they weren’t), they should have never let it be made in the first place. I would have rather had three The Force Awakens-quality movies with consistent themes and direction than the whiplash-fest we ended up…

I mean, I’m sure Daisy Ridley still likes them - she got to go from Luke Skywalker to surpassing Luke Skywalker to surpassing every Jedi in history. From her perspective and from Rey’s perspective, it was probably a lot of fun.

Star Wars “fans” decided decades ago with the Prequels that, actually, they owned Star Wars. It was part of their childhood and so anything that didn’t do their definitely-not-nostalgia-tinted memories justice was a personal insult. Worse than that, it was a violation - you let somebody borrow your prized possession an…

Apologies if I was quick to judgment, I didn’t think of it how you said it either when I posted.

Yeah like I said, I’m not defending it. You gotta know your audience and while a lot of people have no issue with that slang, Kotaku readers aren’t generally going to be in the center of that Venn diagram.
