    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Kiwi, not Australian.

    Will Wight

    There's no really any comparison; the entirety of cradle is the kiddie pool, you don't even qualify on the scale until you leave under your own power. Judge is the top power level of an intergalactic civilization. I strongly suspect Lindon has ninja'ed a massive shortcut though - having a...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Weaksauce - flightpoints only have two bats/gryphons. If they are in use, you can wait for them to get back ;p

    Doom Patrol

    Clearly his instructions were : 'What you did in supernatural ? yeah that'. He made a good point though - 'No-one is going to explain any of this to me are they', lol.

    gen:LOCK

    Good voice actors, good animation, good music, great action, great art, interesting story. This one seems a winner from the first episode at least. Plus, David Tennant as the mad scientist ;p

    The Umbrella Academy

    On 5 vs 7 On #1 and weirdly inconsistent strength - he lost his super strength when he got fucked up - this actually made more sense in the comic

    The Magicians

    "That was an accident ! I don't know how to care intentionally about other people's shit.' I don't know if it's the writers, the actress, or both, but Margo is such a fun character. Come to think of it, probably my favorite out of anything I'm watching at the moment.

    Australia's idea of 'Mexican' food is fucking disgusting. It's one of the things I miss most from the states.

    Alan Tudyk is having entirely too much fun as the bad guy ;p

    The Umbrella Academy

    Wow, really liked this one. Great music, fun characters. If this is an example of what they will be switching to, I don't mind losing the Marvel shows that much.

    Yah, Nightflyers had much higher production values but I just couldn't get into it.

    Alita: Battle Angel (2018)

    I thought this one was good, other than everything to do with Hugo. I mean it's not like the rest of the plot was high art, but the scenes with that guy were almost physically painful.

    Origin

    It does get addressed later on, you may find the reaction more reasonable once you see a bit more background info, but it's all spoilers.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That'd be a better comeback if 1 million gold wasn't worth $200.

    This is absolutely true - Shun is a lackey, not a leader though, so ingrained habit of doing what he's told makes it plausible I guess.

    The Starfighter Invitation - Andrea K. Höst The launch of a ground-breaking new MMO with breathtaking scope stuns a lot of gamers when it turns out to be even better than the ridiculously hyped previews. As people explore the game, they begin to become suspicious that the game is actually...

    Stellaris

    The DLC are almost all worth it in some way or another, but they don't all add to each game. Like the robots one lets you play robots, but doesn't do much if you aren't. Utopia has some fun end-game stuff and Leviathans adds some entertaining mid-game space monsters. I'd probably get base...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    "Couldn't get it to work, just crashed endlessly when I launched it, so I refunded it" is a valid review though.

    Looks like my kind of thing. Video bumps it up to an easy purchase.

    Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadow of the Apt series probably counts. Hmm, looking through my library I see : Flash Gold, Lindsay Buroker New Amsterdam, Elizabeth Bear Emperor's Edge, Lindsay Buroker* * This one is labelled steampunk but I am not sure it counts for reasons that are a spoiler.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    The guy isn't a software developer, he's a creative director. That's why it's interesting news to me anyway - from my perspective almost all of BFAs issues are in game design, not in any technical implementation or art.

    It's physical brain degeneration that could be anywhere - you can't exactly start randomly cutting bits out to look for it.

    Travelers

    I agree, although I'll give them credit for trying something different - becoming a strong, confident woman and kicking the shit out of abuser arguably makes things worse, which isn't something you see very often.

    Marvel's The Punisher

    Eh ? Disney owns the rights to all of those shows, netflix is renting them off them. Disney can just up prices until the shows are no longer profitable, or just make it clear that the rights renewing is not going to happen, no matter how much they pay. Netflix cancelling profitable shows...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    I think the mistake was more assuming that just because MTG could get away with a greedy as fuck pricing scheme 20 years ago, that that means they can get away with the same thing now. Pretty much the same mistake a bunch of 'WoW killers' made, just because *someone* succeeded enough to get...

    If you woke up one day in the body of an age appropriate female, what would you do?

    Entirely apart from assuming the mechanism, this doesn't seem likely. You wouldn't 'just be them' if you have your own memories, and attitudes and behaviors seems a particularly big stretch. Even if you suddenly find that dick is attractive, it doesn't mean you are going to go out and suck them...

    The Passage (Fox)

    Eh, I liked the first episode. The Noah doctors are obviously the dumbest motherfuckers alive though - they are the kind of experts that were too dumb to make the cut for the crew of the Prometheus.

    Cowboy Bebop

    Meh, that's overly simplistic - it's not like Pirates of the Caribbean or Transformers had some complicated cerebral story. It's a fair point that the visuals are a significant part of the appeal of anime, and really don't transfer over at all. That being said though, comic book movies have...

    Discord's Apple - Carrie Vaughn I got this one ages ago and only just got around to it. It's setup is actually kind of like warehouse 13, where a storeroom of legendary items is kept by some particular guardians. Although, in this case, they are keeping the items for some specific time when...

    The Orville

    That makes it worse, if it was actually a mass issue they could just take all the kids then people by weight rather than an arbitrary number. Plus, the shuttle ceasing to work instead of moving more slowly when overloaded requires some serious handwaving. Face it, it was just a half-assed...

    Shield Hero : seems good so far. That chick clearly wants the dick pretty desperately to come up with all of that on the spur of the moment. Boogiepop : Hmm, didn't really grab me. Has some potential though I guess.

    The Orville

    Wow, that episode was almost as subtle as someone smashing you over the head with a sledgehammer while screaming the moral at you. There are 'Drugs are BAD kids !' after-school specials that are embarrassed on the behalf of the writers.
