The first point is entirely fair, the second is terrible because Wesker is not only *not* a loving father in any way, he's also the best thing about the first episode, and entirely obviously evil. His threats to the kid's father were the highlight of an admittedly underwhelming first episode.

I still wonder what Heroes could have ended up as if Fuller didn't walk out on them near the end of S1. From memory he did the same thing for Dead Like Me, American Gods and Discovery, which makes me suspect he might be a hard person to work with, but given the trajectory of all of them after...

Now see, stuff like this makes me wonder if you have actually read any of the Jack Ryan books.

Overall this was a bit too kid's show for my preference, but it was well executed with interesting characters.

Aren't they on a satellite ? I seem to remember something about groundstations and receivers and shit about that.

You are reading too much into the connotations there - think more 'The most Fabulous' of the MCU movies if that makes it clearer.

No way - the biggest barrier to 'fixing' Earth is other people. Step 1 would be fighting a war over what 'fix' means. The first episode of this was pretty boring, although it picked up a bit in the last 10 minutes. Not sure if I'd continue.

This was, in a one word review... tedious. I suspect it's Waititi's equivalent of the Phantom Menace, where he has unlimited budget, and is surrounded by yes men that think everything he says is a great idea. Valkyrie actually seemed in physical pain at how bad some of her lines were. Jane and...

On the one hand, a lame lack of resolution of anything. On the other hand, SB's speech about raising Homelander was some A+ ice cold shit, heh. His face.. Anthony Starr is just absolute gold in the role.

If it was wearing Lederhosen and traveling to Bavaria, would it make a difference ?

Excitement level for live action of source material = 0. There's been, what, 8?, live action remakes and all of them have sucked. Excitement level given the people doing it = 4. Overall mildly pessimistic.

I give Prime credit for funding a lot of crazy shit that no-one looking for sensible returns would touch with a 10 foot pole. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but TV as a whole is better for it existing. It's kind of the role Netflix was filling before they ran out of money.

Eh, it's not any more mystery box than, say, Stargate, but the end part and suggested direction for a s2 was more interesting than s1 was.

It has a reasonable ending point for a series end, it doesn't leave any real cliffhangers.

Going for more than one season was always kinda greedy, still a shame though.

Ep1 review: 3 snores out of 5. I don't care about any of these people. Also, I should probably have watched that recap video because their flashback clips in Ep1 just highlighted that I can't remember anything that happened in season 3. I don't even remember s3 being offensively bad or...

It's actually really hard to detect processes faking mouse input, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of heuristics in anti-cheat designed to identify a real mouse from simulated mouse input. Using an actual mouse makes that completely impossible to detect.

If you are going to fly to mars, why not do it in a luxury hotel ? Haha.

Homelander isn't previously shown to be racist, he's exasperated more than anything at Stormfront's attempts along those lines - he just thinks that he is better than everyone else, which is honestly hard to argue with ;p

I'd agree there - Homelander really should be shit at fighting someone of equal power - how could he have practiced ? Being invulnerable isn't much help at teaching you to deal with the pain and disorientation from being punched in the face.

They weren't being charged with sexual assault, they were being charged with running Blizzard like a frat house.

Wait, it wasn't ? But that heroic delivery guy got the box right there in perfect dramatic timing without even having an address to go on ? What else would it be about ?

That was a bit weird, but makes sense if he actually loves his dogs and doesn't want them to get shot. Also, with the running theme that's he is no longer as badass as he thinks he is.

The fights are like Banshee in that they are ugly, bad for everyone involved, and have lasting consequences. There's no casual one punch knockouts and walking away off serious injuries. The non-fighting parts are, of course, nothing like Banshee.

Yeah, more Banshee than John Wick in the fight department. A bit slow, but I like it so far.

The gold standard

It does not.

This was pretty meh. It's about the horrors of being a condescending rich widow that everyone is in love with.

Now that is a good start to a season.

What do you find the difficulty like ? I half-watched some videos on this while working - even terrible gamers seemed to be completely ROFLstomping the AI.

Pixel art is the art style, which is intended to invoke nostalgia, not the underlying tech - they are more than free to use 2D sprites that are not pixel art. It's almost certainly more work to take artist drawings and then convert them to pixelated form than to just use higher res designs to...

I am about 80% sure that the author got sick of that story arc and just went 'fuck it, let's wrap this up quick'. Probably for the best, for a storyline with so much potential it was disappointing and wasn't really going anywhere - grimdark emo was never the series' strength.

This captures what I remember of the feel of the book really well, they don't shy away from how fucked up their relationship is at all. Good chemistry between the leads, good acting from the guy too on the different personalities as time goes by. I am entertained.

Having watched all of this, it's not bad. Similarities to Outer Range are more coincidental that anything else, it's a very different type of show. I give credit for the twist at the end actually resolving a number of outstanding plot holes. It's not Lost, but it's not Star Trek either, most...

I'm not sure where I thought this was going, but it certainly wasn't there. It does explain a lot, the guy is still a piece of shit, but I can see that situation being a pretty strong motivator for acting like a complete psycho. Overall pretty interesting.

I didn't really like the siren one, the animation was great but it felt too much like someone trying to make a literal implementation of interpretive dance. The rest were all pretty good though, I think I liked Bad Travellings best, mostly for the story and the main voice actor.

yes

Yikes, they nerfed self-burn mage like they were possessed by the ghost of Brad McQuaid. "What do you mean which card do you nerf ? Nerf ALL the cards in the deck, and the items too, and any cards that support it on different classes !" Inner fire and warpaint were probably too good ( is there...

I thought this was fine, although all my sympathy was with the aliens ;p They were remarkably restrained for people finding shapeshifting aliens invading their most important military site, their response to 'Give peace a chance' was pretty reasonable when it was coming from people who knew...

This was ok overall, but I wish it had lived up to the quality of the first episode.
