I am 100% for stereotyping MRA dickheads based on their choice of sunglasses alone.  I have yet to be proven wrong on this. 

In this case, the 515 gear was going to be added right before the introduction of the game’s first raid. Players assumed they’d optimally be playing that raid with the best gear and worried 500 wouldn’t necessarily be enough and that putting the effort into the raid might not even result in the game’s best rewards.…

Wa-D.D. Driver sums it up perfectly with this rhetorical question:

So that guy dedicated a year of his life forming a fake friendship in order to get back at the guy who . . . spoiled a movie?

This is just...sad and pathetic. And arguably much, much worse than what originally happened to this person because he actually made this other guy feel like he had a good friend before getting his revenge.

So this asshole was in the theater with his phone out taking pictures? He’s worse than the spoiler.

how would he even get a photo of the first thanos death? it’s like outta nowhere and its 2 seconds. it’s in and out. this stinks of bullshit. 

Yeah, it literally looks like they put a skinny guy in a fuzzy blue suit and then built the CGI model off that. No idea why they attempted to give his body humanoid proportions. 

That was the first thing my wife and I looked up on the way home. I call BS on anyone who claims they recognized him in the moment.  He was 10 or 11 in IM3 and 17 now.

Let’s face it, the majority of the “big name” heroes who have all the best powers are the guys. (I’m not complaining. Iron Man’s my favorite.) Regardless, the most popular female characters—Black Widow and Gamora—don’t even have powers.

I saw the all girl team-up starting to happen, and did a eye roll of epic proportions. In my head, I was like “really?!!!”.

Then I look down and to my right at my 6 year old daughter and she leaps to her feet with her fist in the air and high-fives my wife.

Perhaps it hits too far close to home for many so they feel mocked by this. I didn’t, the quippy way they managed Thor is more because that’s the general direction they have taken with the character since Ragnarok, so I didn’t saw as a “classc stereotyping”.

nah, I took the weight gain as the fact he was sitting around the house all day literally not going ANYWHERE and drinking all the time. So many people play video games these days, I didn’t see this as any kind of direct joke on gamers at all. I mean, “gamer” is a meaningless label anyway. 

> It’s too bad that this poignant scene happens in the midst of a collection of tired stereotypes of gamers

I mean, I’m depressed at the moment, and my work has been upsetting me such that I’ve basically been stress eating for a year solid.  I’ve gained at least 30 pounds, and that’s a byproduct of my depression and laziness.

Maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention, but it looked to me like Korg was the one playing, and Thor got on the headset to yell at the kid to leave Korg alone?

If I looked like that I wouldn’t even own shirts.

absolutely nothing? Absolutely?
