You can do a lot in a no-kill run... and it’s not that punishing. You can kill half the people and not get High Chaos.

Sure, what I’ve been trying hard not to say is that I find the acting in the Cap sub-franchise below average and the same goes to Thor up until Ragnarok.

I agree that Holland and his new supporting cast were great, but I love what RDJ did with Tony there.

Iron Man 1 has very, very, very, very little to do with any Iron Man comic. They take a very broad strokes version of his origin, but it’s not a really faithful adaptation. At all.

And it shares a bunch of supporting cast with... Iron Man.

Not exactly, more like until Black Panther, there was no sub-franchise even near the acting quality of Iron Man. And I think Black Panther has several performances that are top-notch and the average quality is better than in, say, the Cap sub-franchise.

Plus it sorta set the tone until like. Phase 3.

‘Straightforward’ is the word and it’s the kind of ‘good’ that doesn’t call attention to itself. Then I watch it again and it’s like almost perfection.

Hey, don’t start taking over my future turf.

Oh, the sheer charisma of all the supporting cast too. IM might have one clunker, but as a sub-franchise, it was the best acted one in general, up until Black Panther.

Eh, actually, most of the character development that happened in a lot of those movies like was set-up by AoU.

I think Iron Man 1 is still a high as well. Sometimes I rewatch it and marvel about how damn efficient it is for a movie that was highly improvised.

Well, not even a grad!

... I wonder if there’s a mod for that.

I’m very good at that because I have a very strict schedule (a season per family) so there’s built in stopping points. I’m also very good at backing up my old files, as well.

Oh, interesting. Didn’t know they had a new game out.

I was mostly disputing your first statement - Rudd and McKay aren’t Wright either.

Eh, considering the second one and how a lot of what really worked about the first one was Reed’s input - Hope’s larger role, Luis’ stories -, I’m not sure that’s really true.

It’s interesting how my most stat-intensive gaming experiences have all been in ‘girly’ games - like this kind of dress-up game or games like Tokimeki which is more unforgiving than X-Com. The hearts and the aesthetic a lot of times obscure really well-designed and complex systems.

Half that and half Fushigi Yuugi-style portal fantasy.
