Personally I’ll vouch for it. Read more
This is just sad dude. You’re standing on a soapbox daring anyone to disagree with you while dismissing anything they have to say, just so they can validate you by engaging. It’s pointless, masturbatory posturing and it’s embarrassing to look at.
tbf I wasn’t holding that up as the general tone so much as a common talking point. It’s not unusual to see comments saying “they should reboot” or “they should bring Tony Stark back”, and it’s the sort of remark that tends to get boosted by pundits too.
With a staff, so it hurts more.
Large scale continuity/serial storytelling. Having the world and characters evolve and change over dozens of entries, as opposed to earlier superhero films where you’d get like two or three - and usually with a strict formula of *origin story, then one where the hero’s on the back foot for various reasons, then a shit… Read more
Given how hit-and-miss Star Wars can be, solid entries are always welcome. I think there’s also a fair bit of curiosity as to what his contribution to a more cohesive trilogy would look like. Read more
That’s a well-known troll you're arguing with
Don’t engage with Fake Recognitions.
Personally, it’s not that I don’t believe them, but that I don’t understand the clamour to do away with the franchises’ defining characteristic - especially when it’s from people also complaining the films are too rote/formulaic. Read more

I’m not saying there aren’t widespread issues, I’m saying that if someone else is saying they’re not experiencing the issues you are, that doesn’t mean they’re lying or fooling themself.
It’s the whale strategy. Because there’s always a minority who will shell out big money, noone else can vote with their wallet.
Yeah, ‘twas an arbitrary example, I did like Shang Chi. I quite enjoyed Black Widow too. Read more
Good luck keeping Ryan Reynolds away.
It’s a real problem how the online discourse will skew towards strong reactions, people who thought “Shang Chi was pretty decent I guess” aren’t posting about it. Read more
That is a thing (especially how drops can be more jarring than a steady cap), but nonetheless, you’d be amazed at the random bugs that come up. I know one person who’s got some weird interplay between Elden Ring, Discord and their audio drivers that causes all three to crash (same thing happens with Dark Souls 3). Read more
Come to think of it, TOTK’s something of an outlier in having a Link and Zelda in their mid-20s (or 120s).
