This very, very much looks like they’re basically undoing all of Rian Johnson’s undoing of TFA. What a clusterfuck. Why didn’t they just plot out a whole trilogy before they started, for god’s sake? 

Like half the Star Wars movies have bad titles so ehhhh

Trailer was really good and the Emperor stuff is going to make people talk for awhile, but that title just isn’t good. 

Totally. Ian McDarmind stepped onto stage immediately after the first airing of the trailer.

Yeah, Ian McDiarmid came out on stage after they rolled the trailer the first time to say “Roll it again” in his evil voice. So... That’s something.

Maybe the DA leads will round up all the negative reactions to the idea of DA4 as a live service game, put them into a PowerPoint presentation, and use it as leverage to get EA to back off. :)

Fair point. God damn do I wish these big publishers weren’t run by management who only chase the latest monetization fad. Diversify, god dammit.

“Did EA’s executives really care about narrative? Did they really care about RPGs?”

Yup, it’s pretty clear “BioWare magic” is just borderline abusive crunch time.

It’s not that EA didn’t cause issues, it’s just that EA isn’t the ONLY problem. Bioware is causing a lot of their own problems, too.

Tons of EA defenders jumped on me when I blamed EA for the problems for Anthem, when it wasn’t explicit in the article that it was EA causing the issues.

I like to imagine that the Shazam movie is 90 minutes of this:

ain’t no fight announcer gonna always be calling “ooh, it’s The Mountain That Rides with a takedown, and now The Mountain That Rides has Oberyn in a head hold ... and wait, The Mountain That Rides is gouging eyes out and crushing the skull ...”

Fuck the cat, fuck the cunt, fuck the king.

0/10, should have called the cat a c**t several times

Also, if you think about it, The Hound is basically a tsundere...

It’s not that the show is actually confusing in absolute terms, it’s just very obviously written far more obtusely that it really needs to be.

Season 2 had a very simple plot wrapped up in seven layers of non-linear storytelling bullshit that existed pretty much exclusively in order to always strategically keep the…

I wouldn’t call it a disastrous fiasco, as there were a couple of really good episodes, but I no longer have faith that the writers are going anywhere interesting.

I look forward to more performative confusion about shows that are very easy to follow with a decent amount of attention.

Now THAT’S a hot take. See ya in hell, I guess.
