“saw their Audience Scores dropped by the coordinated campaigns of sad 4chan boys” Funny how when a film gets a ton of bad reviews, that’s the trolls fault, but if it gets loads of upvotes, then it’s them being blinded fanboys the way Venom got plenty of audience love, but notsomuch from critics. It’s almost as if…

Dragons have always said to have been intelligent. Tyrion himself has said as much, that they can be smarter than men. Perhaps this was the moment we finally got that confirmation. 

I don’t like either Sansa OR Arya. Jon’s the only decent one who stuck to his morals and has remained fairly noble. F--k Sansa and Arya. 

Here’s my issue. Why are most of these guys still alive? I don’t mean the superheroes should kill them. Why haven’t the courts found people like them guilty of mass murder and the like and put them to death the way we would to normal terrorists or mass murderers? You can’t tell me people like the Joker don’t deserve…

My problem is that the very first link you cite says, and I quote, “Perhaps the most conclusive proof regarding the stance of Grave of the Fireflies is found in Takahata’s continued insistence that “[The film] is not at all an anti-war anime and contains no such message.”...to insist that the film Grave of the…

The film is not an antiwar anime and contains absolutely no such message. That’s not ME saying that. That’s the DIRECTOR who said that. If you wanna read that message into it...too bad. It’s incidental. And even your “But clearly Battle Royale could function as a critique of horrific violence” point is undercut when I…

It’s not like Japanese films don’t ever show seriously messed up messages or engage in nationalism or aren’t very problematic. Look at Grave of the Fireflies. And you can’t tell me they don’t get violent. Look at Battle Royale. Look at the many Japanese horror or thriller films. And you also can’t tell me Japanese…

40 bucks for basically cut out DLC was a ripoff anyway, but I’m not buying this even now because it basically means that Joseph Seed, the villain of the game this stuff came from, was right. Sure, he raped people, he was drugging them, he was abusing his “family”, he was making a violent apocalyptic redneck cult but…

Best of all, there’s not ONE cutscene which involves two people just yelling “Eff you” at each other in various pitches in a pathetic attempt at edginess. 

Yeah, and when she says “I don’t even know who I am” she STILL sounds too reserved. I wanted her really broken-hearted, CRYING, but she still sounds like she’s trying to reign herself in at the ONE part her emotional barriers should be falling down. 

Yeah, true, true.

Brie Larson works VERY well when playing off other people. On her own, it comes off like they hadn’t decided on her personality, and she comes off as either blandly stoic or snarky quip-master. The first half has FAR too much setup and some really bad editing, and Jude Law was a wasted villain, alright. Plus, her…

More proof EA is just the worst.

This sort of thing is proof that the “shove it out the door, patch it up later” approach has failed us. Also further proof that EA is the absolute worst, just rushing sub-par games out the door to maximize short term profits.

Wow, for once the site ISN’T racing to the defense of the game journalist who lost their job. I guess plagiarism is the step too far. I don’t get this. I really don’t. 

Noah Antwiler, aka the Spoony One, did quite a long, thoughtful introspective on all of the Ultima series. It’s a shame this article didn’t go into further detail past number 6. But I do want to bring up one thing. The morality system within Ultima is basically totally atheistic and secular. There’s no God or…

No offense but I always found that the biggest PROBLEM with such narratives. They’re ALL dystopian, ALL “there’s no good guys”, all “ends justify the means”, and there’s NEVER any work towards a solution to the crisis, it’s just about survival. Oh wow. Never seen THAT before. How very original.

I’m not really surprised he didn’t report it. As underreported sexual assault is, it’s even more so according to the studies I’ve read and what I’ve heard from men. Women are, after all, encouraged to come forward, men? No, they just get assumed to be the aggressor, not the target of such aggression. It’s why there’s…

...so ANDROIDS are all that’s left? Well that’s not satisfying. I don’t care what happens to a bunch of machines. Androids can’t exactly procreate and continue on as a viable, real species. What a depressing, pointlessly cruel ending masquerading as something deeper.

That’s Joel’s fault for dooming all of humanity by refusing to let the Fireflies get the CURE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE from Ellie. Should they have asked for her consent? Yes. But it doesn’t excuse Joel’s coldblooded murder and him dooming humanity and the future of the planet.
