Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

That's a fair point, that aikman shit was retarded.

He used to be an actual journalist, now he's literal sports clickbait. I'm sure he doesn't actually believe 90 percent of his own hot takes, but he sure got paid by Fox.

i mean don't most people just rock their superman underoos while working from home?

Maybe it'll have an intermission screen for a few minutes like some oldschool longass movies

Pacing is definitely my biggest issue with the show. There's a lot of good moments and McShane is awesome, but it drags at times and not necessarily in a slow burn kind of way. The high points are good though and I thoroughly enjoy the source material so I'd imagine I'll keep with this till...

i mean the cameo thing can be used for kind of whatever you want. Get some celebrity to wish someone a happy birthday if you want for a couple of hundred dollars.

Way too reasonable.

probably something like that. Was found dead and no trauma.

They even ended up with a SF/Xmen crossover game.

Dude was only 38

We had this discussion before, but Xmen and Spiderman were the top tier marvel IPs through the 80s and 90s and it wasn't even close. There's a reason that's what got sold off. X-men cartoon was their most popular one by a lot. Even more than the 500 different versions of Spiderman cartoons...

yeah, i'll probably give it a go at some point. Had forgotten that the main chick is also the deadwife in American Gods until I brought this movie up again the other day.

Well part of it is the older problem cards were already banned so it's almost always going to be newer cards that get banned, or older cards get banned because of interactions with new bans. Trickery banning is weird, that just seems like a meme deck to me. How is that actually any better than...

yeah, that's a pretty savage announcement. Don't really see all that much that's really controversial, although Arcanist getting the shitcan in Legacy is kind of funny.

Also, what happened to our Jalen Brown hater Celtics fan?!?

Except like literally every analyst is talking about him and Lebron being the only 2 MVP candidates right now so not sure who this no one thing is about.

I mean it was literally supposed to be 3 full seasons, not 2 short seasons. they left 13 or whatever episodes on the table to go do that star wars shit.

Yeah that's kind of why most of these kinds of things end up being about how much someone dominated an era. If you're talking about the literal best it'll pretty much be a recent/current player because of a million different reasons. Ted Williams was a badass, but he also wasn't hitting a...

Jim Brown and OJ were ridiculous in their eras. Jim Brown was like linebacker sized and the fastest dude on the field. Shit's dumb. Imagine if Henry was as fast as Mostert. Lol. OJ averaged 6 yards a carry in his 2003 yard season. Just stupid.

I mean I get the people that bitch about Superman killing Zod in basically his origin movie. But that's a Superman mythos thing and not really a quality of movie thing. It's a pretty decent movie. And you're right they handled superhero combat in a very interesting way.

yeah, that actually wasn't really a jab, just seems like you'd be happier lol.

Have you considered that single player games might be more in your wheelhouse?

I mean I haven't watched suckerpunch since it came out in the theatres. It's possible I just had unreasonable expectations but it was fine. I just remember it being a huge disappointment, maybe I should give it another whirl.

I mean that's how you end up with Yao Ming.

I know people have mixed feelings about it but I enjoyed Watchmen and like I've said a million times at this point Man of Steel isn't bad. Sucker Punch was a pretty huge disappointment though coming off of Watchmen and 300. Had an amazing trailer and just wasn't very good.

as marvel movies go, Captain Marvel is in it's own special tier of bad.

She used to be an athlete. definitely a freakish outlier physically.

I mean both are flawed but still reasonably fine movies. Whichever one you like better is subjective and it's not like anyone is suggesting catwoman is better than The Shawshank Redemption here.

because gear that's gotten by an entire guild has anything to do with competence level? there's a whole lot of room in the middle of being a min/maxing tryhard on trivial content and casting 6 spells in an hour.

Sure. He's can still contribute if he's healthy, but that's been not very often last handful of seasons. Dude was a monster for awhile though, no doubt.

He'd have to be at the peak of his powers for that. Closer to Malone or Peyton than Durant for this kind of comparison.

Yeah, Wilt was bad at basketball. He was only the better scorer, rebounder, defender and an elite passer. The one skill he did lack the was the ability to have 2-4 other HoF players on his team for over a decade.

yeah, he was the 2nd best player of his era, totally ignoring him being great. his team was also loaded for over a decade. Wilt is completely an outlier in physical abilities though. Dude ran the 100M in college and holds his conference high jump record, while being stronger than most dudes...

Maybe it's because Russell was on what amounts to that era's version of the Durant Warriors, but instead of it being for 3 years it was for over a decade. Once WIlt had a comparable team he won titles too. Guy was a beast at both ends and the best athlete on the floor at any given time even...

I feel like MoS definitely is underrated, but BvS and JL are both trash tier movies.

shadow boxing to keep warm obviously. definitely a bit odd.

i mean i'm sure most people in this thread will watch it. just keep expectations low and you'll probably be right.

Sure and then Wilt and Kareem, however you want to sequence those 2 dudes. Then the next tier is like Magic, Kobe, Duncan, Bird, etc.

Kobe is more McGrady than he is Jordan. He's clearly a great player but people saying he's the 2nd or 3rd best player of all time is crazy talk.
