A better headline would have been “I like low fantasy more than high fantasy because...”

Yeah, I mean, certainly magic could have been introduced, somehow, into this game, in a way that didn’t strip it of gravitas. Kunzelman is suggesting that this is an outright impossibility.

You’ll take my magic in my fantasy games from my cold dead hands!

The literal opening chapter of A Game of Thrones is a dude getting killed by an ice zombie. 

My favorite thing in fantasy games is to not play as a human.  I never play a human.  It’s boring.  MMO’s especially.  As far as class goes?  I never pick warrior types.  Either range, magic, or engineer.  So much more interesting.  Everybody already did warrior.  Time to make a new melee class that’s interesting. 

Starting a book more or less with a gigantic ice wall and some undeads can pretty much set a tone.

Other than the dragons, and the white walkers, and the direwolves, and the giants, and pretty much everything with Melisandre.......

I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles.

I see you too lived through what is now being called “The Great Potato Masquerade” but what we knew by another name: Hell.

By the time it finishes it’s theatrical run, Ant Man & the Wasp (starring characters that are hardly household names) will have made almost as much as Justice League (featuring all of DC’s most popular characters) did last year.

I legitimately liked it a lot more than any Tobey Spidey.

466 million on a 16o million budget. And it’s still making money.

Hot Take: I didn’t mind Spider-Man: Homecoming, and thought it was better than Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

i mean... ant man and the wasp came out about 3 months after infinity war so

Been doing it wrong for decades, not much to hang your hat on.

Of course, it could lead to recasting, which would be a shame if anyone actually, you know, cared about the new Trek. But they don’t, so maybe we’ll get lucky and Paramount will decide to let the reboot die and capitalize on whatever it is they have going on with getting Patrick Stewart back on TV and they can…

Idk, I turned 18 a week ago and am entering college in a few weeks. I want to be a father eventually, but now doesn’t seem like the “right time.”

Helen Slater’s Bond was even worse than George Lazenby.

It seems to me like going from a DC television show to the DC movie universe is a bit like being called up from the minors only to play for the worst major league team out there.

The thing that I’m most looking forward to about Discovery’s 2nd season is the io9 reviews explaining why each episode is the worst episode ever and has irreparably damaged Star Trek.
