I guess I’m the weirdo outlier because I love Fallout 3 most. I didn’t play it right when it came out, so I didn’t experience the original ending of the game, and instead got the GOTY edition where the kinks had been ironed out and the original ending is papered over. New Vegas is great too of course, my second…

for what, exactly? how much should an original cast get for remakes?

“There’s still my issue of a sense of discovery that I feel is missing (Lucy already automatically knows about power armor, the history of the bombs simply told) but that might just be the price of a short season and moving things along.”
The Power Armor is pre-war tech and Lucy states in her intro that she’s a history…

Maximus is a prime example of what Jonathan Nolan has a tendency to do that annoys me. What was the narrative benefit of making the audience doubt him all season? Why not just reveal the truth about Dane in the same episode or the one immediately after? Maybe it creates some tension for the viewer because we don’t…

“More like ‘Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s DEI, amirite?!’”

Did the ninja’s kill the baby? Was too dark to tell.

And Maximus continues to be the worst. 

LAST RONIN is a good comic! And why do people always forget that the original TMNT was never the goofy colour-coded team, but aimed at adults older kids with a bunch of violence. I don’t mind seeing that version again (even if it’s more serious than the original ‘gritty’ tone).

No “A Bronx Tale” (Robert Deniro)?

Totally understandable. But, I’d highly recommend giving the Far Harbor DLC a go sometime. It’s fantastic. One of the side quests is one of my absolute favorite things Bethesda has done. (For those who’ve played it, yes, I am OF COURSE talking about the quest at the hotel, which is all I’ll say so as not to spoil for…

>Honestly surprised it took the show this long to use the Ink Spots’ “Maybe,” perhaps the most iconic Fallout soundtrack song.

And it’s a bummer that it clearly missed him, because Far Harbor is one of the best DLCs ever, IMO. I don’t think it’d be a hot take to argue that the story/side quests of Far Harbor are better than the actual base game of Fallout 4 (and I say that as someone who really, really enjoyed Fallout 4).

Bill Paxton’s FRAILTY (2001) is one of my favorite underrated/forgotten gems.

Neither of you are wrong. People are needed for genetic diversity, that has been established since the whole thing opened with discussions about taboos against inbreeding. But integrating The Raiders by reading them Shakespeare or teaching them calculus is absolutely poking fun at Ivory Tower Intellectuals. They’d be…

You really missed that the show is playing the Vault Dwellers for buffoons, particularly in the debate over what to do with the prisoners. Anyone with an inch of common sense understands there can be no “reintegration to society” for the raiders. The vault dwellers are presented as a parody of liberal academics as…

This doesn’t have the urgency that TLOU has, the characters are just shells, the 50s soundtrack quickly became grating since it adds nothing to the storytelling, and the whole thing is cartoonish. TLOU was basically the TV event of last year and this isn’t that.

Jinx was next-level. So far, I’m not seeing that same caliber, here

That Joker card is a pretty standard Nolan final scene move, a flash of something intriguing that could suggest a further story, something to get you talking as the credits come up.

Why do I have a feeling this movie going to be like Contagion (2011) ? A lot of viewer focus on a specific issue that it won’t happened (the spread of the disease in Contagion, California join Texas in Civil War).
