    The D&D thread

    The whole sjw mentality is the most ironically ethnocentric thinking made manifest. Every race/gender/creed needs to conform to the an exact standard of sameness that no matter who you are or what you look like, you HAVE to demonstrate identical behaviors and thoughts. Orcs aren't an evil...

    Cruella (2021)

    good villains are generally better characters than equally good heroes. in a lot of stories, the villain gets more character development than the hero simply out of necessity. the hero needs something to struggle against, and the more interesting that opposing force, the more heroic the hero is...

    Cruella (2021)

    the best part of this whole diatribe is that mist is right. no one asked for a movie about cruella. she is cartoonishly one-dimensional in how evil she is. "we need a villian for this new kids movie about puppies..." "oh, i know, how bout an old hag who wants to turn cute puppies into garishly...

    i guess? which is sort of funny in the sense that she was always the most simple/innocent one of the girls... but then i guess it's also pretty creepy in the grand scheme of things...

    Eternals (2021)

    This is a silly baiting comment. A) Sam as captain America is something that has been around for almost 2 decades. B) people have called Steve "captain Rogers" for a LONG time. It's not some goofy nod to woke racism.

    i saw this and had the EXACT same thought. you are an actor portraying a previously established character. why on earth do i care if you have a mental disorder in personal life?

    Are they just beat for beat remaking highlander? I mean I'm meh about reboots but I'm even more meh about remakes. We already had that movie and you arent going to win. Either it's worse and everyone who loved the original will boycott it, or it'll be better and everyone who loved the original...

    Army of the Dead (2021)

    screenrant is AWFUL but the pitch meeting is basically bite size plinkett reviews. i just watched it and i'm just sorta "meh" about the whole thing. the black dude who houdini'd himself out of the vault was somehow a carbon copy of Common without actually being... you know, interesting... i...

    Subnautica

    i'm not ENTIRELY sure what the issue is... there are PLENTY of games where the main character gives little audio cues on where the player should go next and it's fine. "thinking outloud" is an extremely common narrative tool. but with this game when it happens it just... i've said it before and...

    no, but that's par for the course with subnautica trailers. in the first one the trailer is from the POV of the degasi crew, which crashed years before the aurora

    Love, Death & Robots

    i re-watched season 1 a few days before season 2 dropped. i initially remember not liking zima blue at all, but second time around i think i appreciated the message a bit more. there's something interesting about the idea that the thirst and drive for knowledge doesn't actually DO anything for...

    My dm just started a patreon, basically just sharing his homebrew one shot adventures. He's absolutely vacant from any woke nonsense. People are still untrusting of Vistani, orcs are by and large evil. Obviously you have outliers... Some Vistani are extremely helpful and good natured but they...

    Love, Death & Robots

    that's the backdrop, but that's not what the story is "about." it's just about brothers getting along despite their differences. if it was about not being able to compete in any way, the older brother would have thrown a fit when he figured out that his brother was faking his injury. instead he...

    Subnautica

    yeah, 100% agree. below zero isn't a BAD game by any stretch. they added some interesting things to build and whatnot. the issue is the delivery of the story and setting. it's kind of an odd duck in that the first one had a lot of complaints because the bread crumbs were super vague and usually...

    did they? i read an article a few months back that said they didn't use anything from him for season 4. like i said, i couldn't really care less about any of that stuff so i haven't been following it. can't even remember where the article was, other than it being one of those stupid outlets like...

    Batwoman

    it's not even that their market is rejecting it. it's that their market is TINY. you keep hearing about how hollywood should hire more trans actors, right? the trans community is like .05% of the population of america. their directed market for this show is like, TOPS 5% of the US. they should...

    Love, Death & Robots

    yeah, honestly, the biggest takeaway from this season is just the insane CGI. snow in the desert skipped right past the uncanny valley and with pop squad? i don't know what what it was but the emotion on the characters were more lifelike then a lot of live action.

    warren ellis. i don't really know or care about the details, but from what i understood he was mostly just being credited and had less and less to do with the show after like season 2, i think? either way season 4 just had him credited.

    covid would be my guess. no one is doing focus groups and pre-screenings and all that right now.

    The Mandalorian

    it's... i mean it's an awful scene. but in a different kind of movie it might be okay. the idea that sacrificing yourself isn't always the right move. being a martyr causes more harm than good to the people who you would make that sacrifice for. they still have to feel that loss. i think...

    Love, Death & Robots

    Blur did, i think, 3 of the episodes themselves. i'm guessing someone at a board meeting mentioned it and they split up into separate teams and didn't talk about it again until it was done and they were like, oh... wait, which one of us spelled ipswitch wrong?

    Subnautica

    As far the voice acting goes, I'm pretty sure they were all done in house with the intention of redubbing them with professionals after they finalized the story. Some of that could explain the change in character design, though I feel like you are making a specific point about changing the main...

    Love, Death & Robots

    no, you're right. pop squad wasn't as great as the season 1 greats, but i kinda feel like it was the only one that had any kind of emotional heart? i also keep forgetting about the santa claus one. can't remember the name but i loved it.

    Love, Death & Robots

    i liked... uh.. i think pop squad was the name? the one with nolan north about the breeders. i liked it because it felt like there was an actual emotional arc. snow in the desert was good, too, but i feel like there wasn't much of any emotional drive. that's honestly my biggest issue. it was all...

    i'm not kidding, as soon as you started my mind IMMEDIATELY went to my old dodge stratus when my battery died. i was friends with some guys who literally grew up in a garage, so they always helped up car plebes with whatever minor issue we might have. i was outside for an hour trying to figure...

    Castlevania

    Yeah overall I think the animation was acceptable, but there was some definite moments where it was awful. Think it was the 2nd episode? Sypha had like a minute scene where she was looking down and forlorn but she looked like a downy potato mongoloid

    Tenet (2020)

    i think most of the failings in the movie can be chalked up to covid screwing up post production. a lot of it screams of "good enough" instead of nolan's usual greatness

    i've been playing below zero off and on for like a year, but i have a hard time REALLY getting into it like the first one. the biggest issue, I THINK, is that i was around for different development cycles. initially, the character you play was just a regular person assigned to research the...

    Tenet (2020)

    Might have missed if anyone explained this... But the temporal pioneer was itself a temporal pincer. The movie starts with an inversion, the temporal pincer is explained in the center of the movie, and then ends with another inversion.

    it's out now. on a technical level it was all pretty great but honestly only one or two stories grabbed me as noteworthy. fairly disappointed, honestly... i LOVED the first season. it's not awful, just... doesn't stand out on it's own i don't think. also for what it's worth, there's only 8...
