COTD right there.

This is what happens when Zuckerberg or Musk or whatever other prophet of the Church of $$$ comes up with some new buzzword.  Zuck says “metaverse” and everyone who thinks there’s a dollar to be made starts churning out low-rent shit like this to get in early without knowing or caring that they’re just reinventing a…

So...they’ve created Second Life, but somehow even lower quality?

I won in the fifth attempt, I just thought you kept playing. I seldom ever play a game on my phone and thought something like this would be fun in meetings that drag on. 

A lot of those old browser games were fucking excellent, though, and would still hold up great if Flash hadn’t been killed. The games that keep getting cloned for years are those built around strong core elements that keep hooking people.

this is why I don’t care about buying sealed retro video games. if I’m buying an old game I’m buying it to play it so that seal is gonna get broken if it’s there.

The part that really highlighted the need for the script to have a few more passes, was the exposition around the father, and “wanting more” to control and take over countries and governments, yet had the rings for, what, thousands of years? He could have taken over the world with the power he had but instead only…

Yeah, this was a curious thing to leave in the article because it’s a bit of a confusing way to word it.  I think what they mean is that Spider-Man is a Sony movie rather than a Marvel Studios movie.

“Marvel’s best film of the year was also its highest-grossing, domestically to date...”

“No moral argument.” They literally made an argument on the basis of morality. You don’t have to agree with them, but it was there nonetheless. 

Garfield’s Peter saving MJ, when she fell, was a nice bit of closure for his character.  

Yep. We don’t have to overthink it beyond that. He’s just the friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man to all.

I think a spell that erases Peter Parker from memory would still mean Spider-man has Avenger status and will get called into action (assuming Captain Marvel steps up to lead the Avengers) but no one would remember who he was under the mask.

I can confirm that I definitely saw Kraven front and center. He was holding a spear which was a dead give away.

There should be as much nostalgia for this type of car as for your first hangover.

Just based purely on the look of the film, it 100% could have used more Jack Kirby weirdness. This just looks so drab for such an out there concept.

Eternals Could Have Been Better if it Wasn’t Terrible

The point being that despite a vocal minority Captain Marvel was generally well received by critics and audiences. It wasn’t a critical flop, like Eternals is currently looking like it might be. 

If you told me this photo was from a new Stargate series, I’d believe you without asking any questions.

I’d say it’s more on the level of Superman III. Satellites can shoot lasers that create tornadoes and Fake Kryptonite (synthesized by Richard Pryor using magic computers) causes Superman to turn evil and eventually split into two separate entities. Jenkins wasn’t trying to do a Snyderverse movie or Marvelize the…
