I'd actually be more forgving if Qyburn had used some magic in making the things as the world is really really low fantasy when it comes to magical stuff.

Disney's commitment to the Avatar pentad is commendable given that no one fucking cares about Avatar at this point. Seriously Avatar 2 will have to be the second coming of amazing 3D and cinematic bliss in order for people to have any desire to go see it.

That was very much a 'fuck, who needs gunpowder / cannons??' moment. I guess also Qyburn should be thought of as the smartest man in Westeros given the various magical and engineering miracles he's performed.

Renewed! Yay!

They also could be doing that 'always darkest before the dawn' redemption arc where the hero is sorely tempted to compromise their moral center but manages to rekindle their spirit or whatever at the end.

Sony is not dumb. They have their wagon hooked to the MCU gravy train and aren't about to endanger that sort of lucre flowing their way. Disney is in the driver's seat here from a revenue point of view but they really need Spiderman to flesh out the narrative portion now that Iron Man and Cap...

Saw the mass market Hasbro action figures at Target yesterday. Not nearly as big a display as the Fortnite section, but still substantial. For a kid of the 80s who grew up with Star Wars / G.I. Joe / Transformers / Masters of the Universe the idea of gaming being the source IP for an action...

Where's that nano tech in non-super hero applications? At least Wakandan tech is fairly ubiquitous in their city, why wouldn't Stark have been making at least some bank off this stuff or at the very least providing it to first responders etc.

Watched it. Was standard disaster movie fare. Have to immediately suspend disbelief at the entire premise as well as everything even remotely 'science' in the whole movie, but it was enjoyable enough to sit through. Worst part was that it stretched out what was essentially a pretty tight...

Clone Wars and Rebels proves that storytelling is very much alive and well in Lucasfilm... The Mandalorian looks great and even Resistance, while on a very slow burn, is starting to come around as a pretty in-depth piece with a lot of great characterization. Get Dave Filoni to take over the...

I love that people are now talking about the Bucky Paradox inasmuch as they reference 'Hot Tob Time Machine'. Since Sebastian Stan was in that movie does that mean that there's a Sebastian Stan in the MCU along with Bucky?

When he was first cast a bunch of us said "wow...this is bad. He works as Johnny Storm, not Captain America". Very glad to have been proven wrong. Hell at this point Chris Evans IS Captain America in a way that will be with him for the rest of his life.

Ahh the good old days when you could have a cross dressing character without it being a hate crime...

I have a sneaking suspicion that whether by Lord of Light or Drowned God that Rhaegal is not as dead as everyone seems to think he is. It would fit with their tendency towards Deus ex Machina to have another different resurrected dragon show up. Regardless him getting shot out of the sky in...

Been having fun with this. The cadence of the missions is certainly a departure from the pacing of Diablo, but it's kinda nice to have something you can fire up and know you have a max 5 min chunk of content. Be interesting to see what their longer term plans are with respect to content...

I did notice that Claptrap's voice sounded a bit off for the new lines in Borderlands VR... His voice in BL3 sounds even more different as I suppose the new guy is making the character his own rather than just going for pure mimicry. Sensible but still a bit unfortunate given that the shrill...

I'm enjoying the character arc for Guillermo a lot. In the premiere he's 10 years in and so very enthralled by Nandor but owing to the lens on his life afforded by the film crew he is getting progressively more jaded and it's a joy to see. I'm surprised they got as much Doug Jones as they...

Nazjatar is up on the PTR and it looks... very dull. I cant imagine that someone came up with a concept painting that actually looked like boring retread of same crap.

Associate professor after 20 years? That seems a bit odd.

I finally got around to watching this and enjoyed it. It wasn't Endgame by any means, but it wasn't meant to be either and that's fine. I have to give them bonus points for having the balls to set up Mr. Mind as the big bad for a potential sequel.

The 'broadcast' cable was far more compressed than the streaming apps/devices. That is what makes this extra fucked, people who haven't yet cut the cord are getting a terrible quality presentation and that might be enough to send them packing. Given that this is the biggest thing HBO has...

Having him as one of the funeral attendees would have been appropriate at the very least.

Yeah I thoroughly expected that the last stand would be at the Aerie after the undead had blitzed everything else including King's Landing. The natural defense choke point nature of the Aerie would make it the only viable place to serve as a base for the anti-undead resistance who could sortie...

Can we talk for a moment about how fucking dumb it was to put the artillery right behind the sacrificial cavalry? Why didnt they place that shit as far back as they could so it would continually rain down fire from above? Hell for that matter they know they are fighting a mindless undead...

I think my biggest problem with this is how incredibly localized this "apocalypse" was. No one in Essos knows this even happened, no one south of Winterfell in Westeros would believe it was anything more than a silly story made up by drunk northerners to explain why part of the Wall fell...

Well thanks to Spider-Verse there are many such realities. If any property is perfectly fine to have multiple narratives running parallel it is this one thanks to that movie.

Does the massive revenue haul of this movie convince Sony to re-up their alliance with Disney to continue sharing Spiderman after Far From Home? Id think they'd be nutso not to as having Peter Parker in the other movies can only serve to increase their own brand value.

Be funny if Dorne just sits back and let's all this happen and then happily establish their independence. 'Yeah we knew about the ice undead...why do you think we are all the way at the other end of the fucking continent in this desert??' Also amusing that Old Towne, which is the biggest city...

MIT ‘hackers’ turn Great Dome into Captain America’s shield

I kinda wonder why anyone bothers worshipping the Seven at this point. I suppose you could make an argument that the magic we have seen is not necessarily the result of a deity, but in cases where worshippers of a god have actual power I'd tend to think people would go with that.

There's a guy at work who I am now convinced is an energy vampire. He wanders from office to office making inane chitchat or otherwise strums this little 3 string ukulele.

So... The Lord of Light really only had two functional priests that did anything : Thoros and Mellisandre. Wonder why the rest of them in Essos have their panties in a bunch? As extinction level events go this was a fizzle for most of the planet. Hell Valyria exploding was a bigger deal by far.

It is noticeably better if you stream it if your cable company (in my case Verizon FiOS) compresses the fuck out of the HD channels. I'm kinda shocked HBO is cool with them doing that being as it makes their nominally premium content look bad.

Actually he has said, in many interviews, that he was less interested in the fantasy aspects and more about the political realities of fantasy. His main criticism of Lord of the Rings is that it ends and assumes that everyone loves Aragorn forever by virtue of him defeating Sauron, but what...

Yeah he knew what was going to happen and just decided to amuse himself with his phone. Mind you no one South of Winterfell will have any idea that the whole ice army of the dead was real. Cersei of course does, but everyone else is just gonna think nothing of it. So much for the nasty...

So just checked and HBO Go has a much less compressed signal than we got from the actual HD Cable live. Really quite a shame that cable companies cutting corners with bandwidth has led to this. Guess I should have streamed via HBO Go rather than watching the actual channel...

Bran would appear to be 100 percent useless. Also the Song of Ice and Fire seems to be over in a way that doesn't really seem like it deserves to be.

Yeah this whole episode was shot and edited for HDR10... What a fucking shame that HBO broadcasts in 720p and the whole thing was a washed out piece of garbage.

This game needs the ability to remap abilities in a bad way. I want to be able to do all the MMB/E/Space etc stuff on numbers so I can use my NAGA
