10 years ago we had games like World of Warcraft and Everquest, and no one seemed to mind those.  What enraged people were games having always online requirements which otherwise didn’t need to be online.

Apples to oranges, you can still play the games on stadia on other platforms that don’t require internet, stadia is for those who want to play those games while travelling. Your point is entirely moot.

Trolling is more effective when you don’t say stupid shit like “per capital.”

He didn't say kill the one you love the most. Red skull said "lose what you love". A distinct difference. It can be seen that Hawkeye did at that instance, lose someone he loved

Have to be honest, I’ve never seen Suspiria.

Honestly, I thought the bones of a really good movie were there with TFA, but the rehash of all the story beats of A New Hope hurt it in hindsight. I liked the new introductions of the new characters and the idea of searching for Luke Skywalker. I felt like it was a setup for a cool adventure story. But the new…

Germain would love a movie if it stepped off the screen and bashed him in the face with a shovel.

Exactly. Star Wars was never a universe designed for a multitude of stories to be told; it was a single, specific story. The one story can be expanded (up to a point), but when you move away from that core, it stops being Star Wars.

THANK YOU!

Everyone has always said that the Star Wars Universe is so vast and diverse with an infinite number of stories to tell.

But for those of us more, let’s say “casual” Star Wars fans, who’ve long felt that the Skywalkers’ overwhelming dominance in Star Wars media is one of the franchise’s more glaring drawbacks, The Last Jedi was the promise of something fresher.

The movie doesn’t come out until December. The only trailer we have shows barely anything about the plot. I think it’s a bit early for these types of thinkpieces, don’t you think?

Avengers: Age of Ultron introduced the deeply troubling, reductive idea that Black Widow saw herself as a monster because of the Red Room procedure that rendered her sterile (though some debate this).

I feel like what is missing in the analysis of Dany are her past actions. From Season 1, she has shown herself to be very, very cruel (not surprisingly, given how she was raised). She raises not a finger when her brother is drowned in boiling gold. She burns the witch alive. She crucifies the slavers. She…

...well, I for one, as someone that isn’t watching the show because I didn’t have HBO for a long time and by the time it had reached “OMG EVERYONE’S WATCHING THIS THING” levels, it was like season 5 and catching up on like 50 hours of television is a bit daunting...

haha, you’re crazy, that was awesome.

The Orville is like comfort food SF. That’s not a diss, btw.

I’m pretty sure “cheating on his wife” is really low on the totem pole of “sexual indiscretions.” Like, he’s not Harvey Weinstein or Louie CK. He didn’t do anything that was non-consensual.

I don’t want to say that what happens in Episode 8 [didn’t happen]. We have honored that. But I will say that there’s more to the story than you’ve seen.

Let’s be fair and go back to the original shows, they all had their stinkers with Voyager going “Hold my beer ...” on that subject.
