Well, I can't recover most of the impassioned arguments that I made in the original thread, but I do remember one question that I was hoping you might answer; should people just immediately stop having any kind of fun for the duration, any time a national tragedy happens?

If racism is a thing that is bad, then it's bad whenever it happens, whoever it happens to.

Take a look at the wideshot video from this, he's surrounded by press being assholes.

As it happens, I watched that one just last week. I had seen trailers and heard about it, but in actually watching it, I was quite astonished at how extremely boring it was. The lead actor was utterly devoid of charisma, and there was so much padding with establishing shots and the like. And the origin was exactly…

What I'm reading into your comment is that we shouldn't forget that the cop acting aggressively toward the innocent public was white. So I guess, one way I could translate that is, "we must not forget to make race a part of the issue here."

And white. Don't forget white.

I agree completely. The cop/pig is clearly in the wrong there, but the people in the crowd are not helping anything. That would've been a perfect chance to counterpoint the image of the violent, reactionary cop with a placid, peaceful crowd, but they didn't accomplish that very well.

That reminds me of something that happened to me in Morrowind back in the day. I had stashed some gear in a chest in the Fighter's Guild, because storage space is so hard to come by. When I came back later and tried to pull just my own stuff out, they treated it as theft. I really wanted to get my stuff, though,…

I make dinner and go to work every day in real life; why would I play a game that involves doing the exact same things (albeit in a slightly nicer house than my own)?

As far as I'm concerned, no exploration of trying to achieve maximum evil in a sandbox game is complete without some cursory attempt at sexual perversion.

And I really don't need to see more "female-driven" movies where there is literally one woman and a bunch of stereotypes about people of color.

Marvel Studios seems more open than most to taking risks, so I think there was a pretty decent chance of a Black Widow movie happening eventually anyway, but it definitely seems pretty clear that an action movie starring not just a woman in general, but Scarlett Johansson specifically, will increase the chances of a…

Maybe sadism isn't the right descriptor, but I definitely do think it's safe to say he's pretty well insane. I will also cop to the fact that his piss-poor excuse for "art" biases me heavily against him. But it's also things like making Superman a spineless government lackey in DKR, saying that Bullseye stabbing…

That's a very thought-provoking perspective. It's been far too long since I've partaken of either's work to compare them that acutely, so I'll have to take your word for it. But I do feel like every time I encounter anything by Frank Miller, there's almost an undercurrent of sadism about it.

I dearly wish I could go back in time and give these to my younger self. All those years I spent playing superhero LEGOs with generic minifigs jerry-rigged to look kinda similar to the my favorite comicbook heroes, and now that I'm too old to care, they have this stuff. Heavy sigh.

I got signed up for the IC beta without having any experience with MOBA's. The quick Youtube videos that passed for official tutorials really didn't do much to bring me up to speed. Meh.

It seems like, at some point, you jumped the track from Wonder Woman to the Flash. I'm still talking about Wonder Woman, who definitely does also have gold accents on her costume (actually, the Flash does too, just not as much).

You can't compare a suit of armor to a leather costume though.

Did you not like Iron Man?

Yup.
