A victory so costly that it dooms the winner? Pyrrhish the thought.

I get why they played up the fearful, I-might-kill-people-if-I-get-close side of her character. But yeah, that wasn't Rogue. That was a southern Kitty Pryde with Rogue's powers.

Bullet train fight FTW.

The comics were smart enough to leave Magneto out of most stories that involved another major antagonist - he's just too meaty a character on his own to make room for someone as potentially one-note as Apocalypse.

Tell your friend that he's correct.

I think making him incredibly handsome, in the classic movie star vein, is more against type than making him tall. But yeah, those are really minor points when you get down to it - get the right actor, and the little details like that aren't a big deal.

The first two have not aged all that well, especially in comparison to how the following decade would unleash an embarrassment of riches when it comes to superhero movies.

I read an interview where he said that after getting fit, he was looking at the world in a new way - wanting to run and climb on everything. There was an earnestness about it that was very appealing. Unlike the Hugh Jackman and Chris Evans style superhero died, where already-fit guys put themselves through utterly…

I kinda wanted to see what he might do as Apocalypse. He's not a terribly imposing physical presence, obviously, but he's certainly got gravitas.

I feel like the Sunken Ghost Ship is more intimidating than it is difficult. Once you realize that the ghosts are in a pattern for the first section, it's not nearly so overwhelming at it appears.

Usually I watch those and I'm like aww, poor kids, you'd get better with a few tries, etc.

I submit to you all that the entirely of Super Metroid is the best level ever.

I didn't get to see it, and I thought it looked really fun. I feel like he and Arnie Hammer both are capable of better things. I should more rightly blame the movie Cavill was in, rather than him as an actor.

I don't remember which one that is, but I 100% agree with you anyway.

I always felt like Rainbow Ride was such a bragging-rights level that it's crazy difficulty never bothered me. Especially when you manage to pull off some crazy jump instead of falling to your death for the 200th time.

Aw man, I love pretty much any Zelda where stacking enemies brings a huge difficulty spike. Except for maybe the original game, where chasing/fleeing from a dozen Darknuts at once gave me panic attacks.

When that game first came out, I had been playing for a few hours when I realized that I'd just entered a temple - and would have no chance to save until I beat the puzzles - with only a few minutes until I had to go to work. Either I had to beat it, or I'd lose a ton of progress.

It is always funny to me that the moral of the story is actually inverted in Disney's telling: it is the Beauty who has to learn to not be shallow, and to see that the Beast is actually a great guy beneath the fearsome, hideous exterior.

I took my daughter to see Princess and the Frog when it came out as her first movie. I was regretting it when the loa dragged him screaming down into Voodoo Hell, but then my daughter cheered happily, and has been a delightfully morbid little girl ever since.
