By the way, 76 upvotes for a top-upvoted comment that can’t even comprehend what a TV critic is supposed to do means the entire enterprise is now dead on A.V. Club.

This is headache-inducing. “Most things are bad when you talk about them[?!], so I don’t get why this article about the show is discussing story and pacing and so on. Why’s the review of the show talking about the show? Can’t it just call it awesome or badass and praise me for watching it?”

Yes, you are literally the only person on this site, indeed, the only person on Earth, who likes this show. It is tailored to you, in a you-centered universe where everyone behind the show (who themselves despise it) monitors your every move, as your vast fortune and influence feed their children daily.

That’s not a recommendation even if you like the show, that people should head on over to someplace where everyone will tell them things they already think and won’t challenge them in any way

I think the Internet tends to phrase things as though everything is either great or bad, because it’s in a state of constant emotional breakdown over its attachment to moldering artifacts of pop culture.

I mean, in Japanese, “Waluigi” is a way less awkward pun than “Wario”.

Waluigi is a pun because in Japanese, Luigi’s name already contains half the word for “bad”. Mario’s name contains none of it. Wario works fine given the feeling the forced pun gives in Japanese, but Waluigi’s the less awkward version of it.

Waruigi is a much better pun than Wario, because “Lui-” in Japanese is the same as “rui”.

Because if Resident Evil games don’t contain 10% awkward decisions by volume at the pump, the government pulls its tax credit

I mean... you do realize that the scripts for this series were always awful, right?Like, comically bad? And the reason RE4 became the breakout hit is because it accepted how dumb the franchise was and turned it into low camp, which RE5 immediately tossed out the window, and the only reason people will buy these…

They are gonna sell Resident Evil 4 to your impulse-buying asses until you grow too senile to remember it, because every few years you’re gonna remember it’s a good game and hope that buying another version of it with bigger cup-holders and a fresh coat of wax will somehow make it feel like the first time you played…

What’s with the headline? This is like when one of your sister sites ran a supposed list of games you should avoid playing at all cost while you’re stuck inside, and they were all games vaguely relevant to what’s happening, I guess because they might remind you of stuff no one’s at any risk of forgetting?

Yes, that is indeed what was being referenced through two degrees of reference by way of an episode of The Simpsons. Extra point for adding “grimdark” so it looks like an authentic post from literally a decade ago when the Internet wigged out over casting choices for The Dark Knight

Probably worse than Snyder is the adoption of ad copy by fans, stuff like “Snyder’s tenure on the DCEU” where you could just say “Snyder’s movies”, since we all know which ones you’d be talking about on this story.

I imagine Snyder will stop when there’s no longer a feral knitting circle of superhero dorks screeching daily about his genius as a director, whose interest depends on him never dropping the issue. He’s never gonna find that praise anywhere else.

It’s always fun to see people trading backslaps on A.V. Club for the exact same two or three ancient accepted opinions on this movie, always the same handful of commenters on this site, the survivors who managed to avoid comments that offend the Kinja beast’s inscrutable marketing whims, all pretending every single…

You’re right, it’s true, but boy oh boy is there ever nothing new or interesting for anyone to say about all that today, and don’t get me wrong, that includes the movie’s writer and director

It’s more that thanks to everyone liking Batman, Batman movies were the ones to beat, for decades

I mean, half the Marvel movies suck too... it’s more amazing that TW had to euthanize a post-Burton Batman movie series before it hit movie 2, a character who’s losing in a dubious superhero-driven business if he’s not at or tied for #1 superhero movie that year

You better rush those unique observations to YouTube before someone scoops you, chief. I see fame in your future
