on the one hand, petty, on the other hand, there is no way a netflix-produced live-action zelda series could ever be good

a lot of people die offscreen.

who care

sounds as though that’s what this article was all about, actually. a show could leave things ambiguous enough that you can’t just read an article to have a clear understanding of things, but you know damn well the MCU isn’t gonna let that happen here

“deep nuanced thriller” =/= “family friendly” somehow? 

hey, some ps3 cutscenes were actually able to animate hair realistically, be nice

hey disney, please don’t listen to this guy. stop making stories about skywalkers. you have more money than the pharaohs at this point, how bout you try telling stories that have any kind of artistic merit again instead?

i remember hearing when i was a kid that “vader” was dutch or norwegian or whatever for “father” so i thought that part at least was planned out. but then you rewatch ANH and see the lousy “different point of view” speech in RotJ and you realize that, fuck no, it absolutely was not

i think it’s pretty cool bloober team patented the two-world thing and then didn’t even do that much with it

podracing was so good, it should have been the climax of the movie

man shut the fuck up, james bond isn’t a franchise with lore, this isn’t dark souls and we’re not going to figure out the secret backstory by reading the item description of a bee dick, they’re a series of movies where a spy does things, there is no idiotic Pixar Theory that makes them all cohesive and there doesn’t…

i really like the vibes of this game, but the gameplay i’ve seen — it’s even noticeable in the big trailer up there — is undercut by this really annoying stanley parable-esque narrator who really doesn’t need to be there. i’d love it if they got rid of him or allow you to turn him off because, based on the trailer,…

You shouldn’t play Ignis’ episode (either ending) until after the credits roll, imo. If you play his episode, it becomes extremely clear that the Bad Thing What Happens To Him is permanent, but in the chapters that follow he tries to play it off like maybe it can be reversed and it’s more affecting when he finally has…

I shouldn’t still be like this, but I can’t watch things like Kingsglaive without feeling a pang of sympathy for “real” actors like Lena Headey and Sean Bean having to read things like this. I know it’s elitist, but I can’t help but feel like they shouldn’t have to read shit like this, leave it for the anime voice…

only read the first half of the first sentence, but i agree so far! i’ll let you know my thoughts once i finish your comment

this is the a.v. club, we’ve all heard of satoshi kon, this isn’t a revelation

yeah dude i bet those yellow savages fucking eat prisoners, i bet they’re all brainwashed

I haven’t played this game since beating the file I started at launch, but I know I could never figure out the combat. It always felt way too loose and messy, and every fight just devolved into me running in circles trying to attack the enemy from behind until I got enough Buddy Juice for Ignis to use Overwhelm,…

Tsushima felt like a revelation in that regard, but even it started to pall by the end. Started to hate seeing that damn yellow bird try to guide me to whatever hot spring or haiku when I just wanted to ride in peace.

sometimes i want an adaptation of miyazaki’s and ghibli’s more steampunky works — nausicaa, castle in the sky, howl’s moving castle, all have these beautiful worlds that i’m aching to explore, but i think it would ultimately be wrong for an outside studio to turn those stories into playgrounds.
