    The Odyssey (2026)

    Easy fix, cast Peter Dinklage as Patroclus and a regular dude as Ajax the Great.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Nolan did some cool and even great movies, but I wouldn't put Snyder and Bay in the same basket. I saw Watchmen again the other day, and I think it's great. Man of Steel was also great. 300 was great. Bay made almost nothing but shit movies after Rock.

    The Boys

    The pipeline was endorsed by The Deep who kept saying all the fish were very happy about it because the corals growing on it provided social housing for low-income fish. When the disaster happened, the fish blamed him. It's possible all the fish that actually saw Black Noir do it died in the...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    As much as I love Karl Urban in pretty much everything he's in, he's too old to play a convincing main character Johnny Cage and he can't fight either. Even Jean Claude Vandamme who inspired Johnny Cage's original character design is too old to do it now. I too was surprised that Johnny Cage...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    If they want to keep introducing new characters for future Mortal Kombat films, they're already starting to run a little low on not-too-silly characters. They've established this Mortal Kombat universe as rather realistic for Earthrealm and more of a fantasy setting for the tournament, so I'm...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    Some minor spoilers below. Kitana's lore was pretty much untouched from the games, if anyone deserves to kill Shao Khan it's her. Though with the introduction of necromancy (also from the games), they don't even try to hide the fact they'll just keep bringing people back whenever they get...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    Saw it today with the family, it was pretty entertaining. A lot of references to the games (moves, special attacks, one of the fatalities), the character designs are pretty faithful to the recent games as well. Despite being on screen a lot, Karl Urban doesn't steal the whole show, most...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Thankfully, the gap between ROTJ and the sequels allows for a lot of stories to happen in-between, and there's also leeway even between episodes of the original trilogy. Some of that stuff is best told in anthology format akin to the recent Tales of [insert Jedi/Sith/Underworld] to tell short...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    It's very telling in current merchandising the last few years especially. Hasbro is one of the main manufacturers of Star Wars merch with small plastic figures and they release dozens of characters every year, a mix of characters from the older movies and whatever is the current Star Wars...

    Resident Evil (2026)

    Like most retcons, it's because they 1) ran out of ideas and 2) realized stuff sells (even) better with nostalgia. The most loved Resident Evil games are all in Raccoon City except RE4 which even some purists consider too much of a departure (more action oriented, no "zombies", in Spain...

    Resident Evil (2026)

    Not a nuke, an experimental thermobaric bomb (as of a RE3 director intereview). There's no radiation when you return to Raccoon City eventually, and the crater from the blast is much smaller than the city.

    Resident Evil Requiem

    Sure but it's hard to compare the scope and attention to detail between Resident Evil and Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. If Capcom had wanted to make it a serious intro, they didn't have to do it in FMV and could have just put up character sheets with badass illustrations, they purposely decided to...

    They spent 15 minutes of that episode trying to break through Rock Hard's stone skin because he is able to hold his breath and wouldn't inhale the virus, to no avail. In the end, he dies in seconds from the virus even though he wasn't breathing it in, so it seems to infect Supes just by contact...

    It's not. It's an impassable path due to the ashtray's influence until you find the janitor's walkman and headphones and listen to the music, which makes it a linear if somewhat weird path, but it makes for an awesome action scene with cool music. It makes sense in context!

    Resident Evil Requiem

    The translations I can accept, but it's hard to believe the FMV intro with the terrible acting and the over the top character sheets with rock music and fire effects are not intentionally cheesy. There's certainly a B-movie intent, even if it was made even more corny/legendary due to the poor...

    Resident Evil Requiem

    While it certainly was there for fan service, I thought RPD was also integral to telling Leon's RE9 story. His arc is about how much he is haunted by his experience in Raccoon City, how he feels he failed to save people. He carries that guilt with him since then, and it's metaphorically...

    Nintendo Switch 1 and 2

    Sony is increasing the price of all PS5 consoles by around $100 globally due to the shortage of RAM, so maybe releasing the Switch 2 last year wasn't such a bad idea.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To be completely fair, they mostly changed the model from actual daily quests to bi-weekly world quests some years back, though there's still so much FOMO bullshit in the game it's a small step, but it's nice to know you can skip a day or two and still be able to do your quests.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That was pretty good, reminds me of 90's fantasy animes with the art style and music for the opening of an episode. I wouldn't mind an animated series about a group of characters experiencing WoW from the beginning and through expansions over several seasons, honestly. You can even make the...

    The Legend of California

    From what Jeff says in the interview, the game is not meant to be realistic or a period piece, it takes place in a reimagined California as an island, and while the layout of the land is similar, there's some alternate history hijinks. Safe to say the technology probably is a bit different, a...

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    I agree with you about the fundamental Peter Parker story, I genuinely like the concept of Spider-Man / Peter Parker, but my problem with the MCU version (and I guess it was the same with MJ in the Sam Raimi version) is that you're basically watching 2 hours of life shitting constantly on a good...

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    I thought the trailer was kinda meh. Tom Holland is indeed becoming a bit too old to be believable as a university-age dude, and the angst over everyone's memory wipe is a bit too omnipresent when you consider there's been 10 MCU movies since that contrived plot point happened.. people have...
