    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    Not only is "nothing on the line" but we don't have any sense of what the threat really is. All we have is Thor's monologue about how this scares him more than anything in the past. Yes, multiverse incursions are scary but we've seen it a dozen times already in Loki, What If, Strange 2, and...

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    I think one of the problems with the stingers and post credits post-IW is that we've rarely had any payoff. Maybe that changes with Doom but we'll see. In phases 1-3 the stingers almost always led directly into the next movie. Thor's hammer and Capt Marvel's pager being two obvious examples...

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    We'll have to see how much of the post-Endgame stuff gets incorporated. One of the main problems I see at this point is there have been a bunch of what can best be described as "false starts." The whole Kang situation. Whatever the Eternals was trying to show us. The ending of Multiverse of...

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    That was probably originally put in to account for marvel/disney kids programming. Marvel owns/creates the animated Spidey and his amazing friends shows that get a lot of airtime on Disney Jr as well as other kids animations that include Sony owned characters.

    Landman

    The Rebecca actress is pregnant right now (and as far as you all know I'm the father). I wonder if that's part of the delay. They managed Beth's pregnancy on Yellowstone but her wardrobe and demeanor is more conducive to hiding that kind of stuff. Beth wrapped in a blanket on the porch is...

    The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026)

    I only watched season 1 of Mando and haven't watched any of the other SW streaming shows so feel free to tell me I'm wrong here. The impression I get from reading these threads, and also with the post IW Marvel offerings, is that they lack any kind of consequence to the larger universe. There's...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    I don't give a shit that she's an actor and hasn't heard of the source material. I care that she graduated from a supposed "S tier" US university and, as zzeris said, has no clue about a foundational document for western civilization. Why is that? If your upbringing didn't adequately prepare you...

    The Division 2

    One of the issues I've noticed with heartbreaker, memento, and other stacking builds is there's a weird balance to difficulty levels. Challenging or lower and you often just don't get enough bad guys to really roll the stacks, but heroic or legendary it's more risky trying to grab backpack...

    The Division 2

    I don't know what the long term roadmap is, but protos are not really any different than other systems that have been put in place over the course of the game. Initially gear was all rng and you had to farm. Then once the no-lifers got full god roll sets they opened it up to optimization. Same...

    The Division 2

    I'm just curious how many upgrades I dismantled during my ronin farm. Barely enough time to even dismantle all much less actually look at what was dropping. Probably not any when I think about it as it was on normal.

    The Division 2

    I would say it's pretty friendly to get back into either from a long absence or completely fresh. With targeted loot you can get completely functional builds on the easiest settings which don't even require any cohesive gear to be successful. That gear will be marginal stats but the set bonuses...

    The Division 2

    I love the pestilence but I realize I don't know how it actually works in conjunction with other stuff. Is the dot the amount that direct hits from the pesti land for? So with overdogs I target a red first I'll get a 30% bigger dot? And what happens when it transfers after kill? Are all the...

    The Division 2

    If it really is fixed I wonder if they'll tweak the intended drop rate. The community blew past the first reward faster than anticipated but my guess is donations grind to a halt. The players most likely to donate because they already had god rolled named were the ones hammering the spawn bug...

    The Division 2

    That's a tough one. Sure, for the people running around with the sole intent of farming Kits a fast cooldown would be nice but there are people trying to do other things open world. It's easy to say "they should want kit spawns anyway even if they don't think they do" but think how annoying it...

    The Division 2

    Maybe I've just been lucky on key drops but I think the drop chance is per individual kill, not the group. I've gotten at least two keys per spawn at least twice now which is why I think this is the case. So a normal 10 minute spawn gives you 5-6 chances at a key which should be around a 25%...
