    3 Body Problem

    Three episodes in and the central mystery element is hard carrying the show. The Science Club friends do some really dumb shit to be so smart, the decision by one of them that sets up the big moment of episode three makes no sense considering everything that had happened to that point. The...

    Reacher

    Yeah, I think they are actually trying to write every encounter with the mercs/hitmen becoming dumber and dumber. The whole truck heist was a clown show, and then the "snipers" had to have been hired from craigslist or some shit...wtf was their plan?!?

    Silo

    Damn that episode was ass...just thinking about how stupid everything to do with the generator was makes my head hurt. Considering it's literally the most crucial element of keeping the silo going, how the hell does the leadership not keep a super close eye on what's going on in engineering...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    So, redesign on Path of Champions was pretty good outside of the shard system to acquire more champs, figured they would probably tweak it somehow in a future patch. Well that's a big negative...not even two weeks from launch they announced PoC is basically going into maintenance mode so they...

    Raised by Wolves

    The first 4-5 episodes of season one had me thinking the show could really be great, and then it went completely off the rails. It felt really directionless, just a bunch of thrown together religious mumbo jumbo and "symbolism."

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    Yeah I haven't touched it for few months now, after they announced a big revamp for Path of Champions, which was gonna pretty much reset all the progress of the current Champion roster. Looking forward to playing it, seems like they added a lot more to the whole system.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Getting those level boosts with the expansion collector's editions is pretty nice, might actually make an alt at some point. I'm only 88 since I started playing, and don't think I could go back and do it all again on another character.

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    Pretty neat getting to see the Marvel version of Olympus, and I'm sure Crowe will be fun as Zeus, even if he ends up getting annihilated to establish how powerful the baddie is. Interesting to see if they introduce Hercules in this, he'd be another of the major second wave Avengers along side...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    Arcane got me to check on this again, after having not played it since the first couple months of launch. I still prefer Gwent for my PvP card game fix, but when I saw the PvE content for this I was back into it. I'm really having fun with the Path of Champions, just taking my time leveling up...

    SWTOR

    I feel the combat is serviceable, and there's a few classes I find pretty fun to play. For me it all comes down to lack of content once you've done all the story/leveling you can stand. Unless you just love Star Wars, I don't see why you'd want to spend a monthly sub fee to do end...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I gave it a try last year when they did the big content giveaway, and had quite a bit of fun leveling up through most of the base game zones(Breeland especially). Questing definitely feels dated, there's a TON of running back and forth. Main story quests has some good stuff, but also a lot of...

    The Outer Worlds

    Interested to see how the sequel sells, cause I see a lot of folks that weren't very enamored with it. I certainly wasn't, and very much agree with a comment I saw somewhere, that described it was 'aggressively mediocre.'

    Jupiter's Legacy

    Yeah Sheldon is basically Ned Stark, he's willing to go down in flames doing what he thinks is 'right.' Hell the old villain playing psychologist pretty much told him The Code shit was delusional. Even as silly as it is, guess it's plausible that it held up so long cause Sheldon was the most...

    Jupiter's Legacy

    Yeah the stuff with Sheldon, Walter and George was easily the best part of the show for me. They did a really good job exploring all the issues with Sheldon and Walter as brothers, and how in a lot of ways George was Sheldon's chosen brother.

    Jupiter's Legacy

    Thought it was ok, but it will definitely be divisive. It's like the complete opposite of Falcon/Winter Soldier....where that show had a shit ton of characters/plots that basically got glossed over, this show has a couple arcs that it pretty much runs into the ground. I don't mind the show...

    Invincible

    Don't watch many shows, but this is definitely my favorite one of the last few years, only thing close is first season of The Boys. Nice to see this blowing up, should mean we continue to get more quality non-Marvel/DC shows. Jupiter's Legacy on Netflix is up next, hard to match this one, but...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Yeah, for me, the one bright spot out of the show was JLD setting up Walker as USAgent(suit looked awesome) and seemingly teasing Thunderbolts team since Zemo is now in the Raft. MCU take on TBolts would be interesting, bit more dark edged than most of their stuff...but schedule seems pretty...

    Invincible

    Was an ok-ish episode, felt like mostly filler with some plot setups/advancements sprinkled in. Seemed like early on was hinting towards Mark being rattled by what happened and having second thoughts about the whole super hero deal, but he jumped into action pretty quick. Maybe it will come up...

    Invincible

    I was thinking what Wombat mentioned, that he was hanging outside just in case things went too far. Battle Beast landed that massive mace attack, but then put up his weapon...maybe Omni Man knows he'll just beat the hell out of his enemies but won't straight execute them?
  20. Kanglor

    Invincible

    Yeah I took it as him sitting there as a giant 'I told you not to get involved in that low level bullshit' and hope after that beating, Mark would listen to him. Also think he wanted to see the new Guardians get destroyed as well...in the third episode he was already giving the evil eye to the...

    Invincible

    Really good episode, love the fight scenes, they feel more 'real' with how brutal they are.
  22. Kanglor

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Too many characters and too much story to cover for only six episodes. Walker pretty much has no arc, he's cracking up right from jump, even though we're told he's a top tier, experienced soldier. Hoskins is more of a plot device than an actual character. As jooka mentioned above, Karli seems...

    Invincible

    Just finished first three episodes and wanted to add my endorsement for this. First episode starts out a bit slow and quite cliche, but the ending changes the tone a lot. Not being one of the big properties, seems like show is flying under the radar atm, hopefully it continues to be good and...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    They've already changed up a good bit, but comic version he never really turned bad per se, his real name got leaked and the terrorist group ended up killing his parents. He snapped, killed/maimed a bunch of them and became very unhinged after that. Combination of parents death and trying to...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Way they setup John Walker in this was a lot better than the comics, here he actually is an elite soldier, so makes sense the gov't would pick him to be the new Cap. Interesting that they starting him off apparently unpowered, though I assume he'll end up failing at something major which...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Was never a big fan of the solo Captain American comic, but I really liked the John Walker story arc, so am interested to see how much of it they adopt for the show. Even if he switches up some things, Feige usually sticks with most of the main comic story beats...but with so many other...

    WandaVision

    Show did a pretty good job fleshing out Wanda and Vision quite a bit, which was nice considering they didn't have solo movies for character development. Agatha I liked, interesting way of introducing a fairly minor character and Kathryn Hahn played the part really well. Pretty much everything...

    The Flash

    Yeah as a big fan of the Flash, it sucks having zero interest in watching the show. First two seasons of Arrow and first season of Flash were so good, but by the time I dropped em a couple seasons later, hard to believe they were even the same shows.

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    Good news is, they finally made the right call in shit canning HSL from the project. Bad news is, who the hell did they turn it over to, cause I don't think there's any AA(A) studios with major RPG experience that could take it on right now. At this point I wonder if they have given up on the...

    Riot Games MMO

    Watched Bellular vid and he had some good points, especially in regards to retaining and attracting talent 'tween the two companies. Apparently Blizz are tight asses with pay, and been living off a lot of people giving them fanboy discounts just to work there. Riot seems to pay quite well and...

    Riot Games MMO

    Agreed, I mean Ghostcrawler has been tweeting about his return to WoW and mentioned he had missed raiding, so assume that's gonna be a major focus for them. Hell, the champions and lore around them give a lot of material for raid bosses.

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    Not surprised, apparently she was gone in September, so like a month after Mitsoda, they just didn't make any kind of announcement. Sucks to see how this is going, as WoD is one of my favorite IPs, but Paradox has likely fumbled a great chance to grow the brand. Who would have thought that...

    The Boys

    Felt like they completely flipped the writing this season compared to last. S1 was heavily plot based and moved at an almost breakneck pace, with only a few characters really getting much development. This season they went full bore on a lot of characters, and then just kinda threw together...

    Raised by Wolves

    Speaking for myself, The Expanse is the only high quality sci-fi I've seen in quite awhile. Westworld started off strong, went to shit, same with Altered Carbon...not to mention the new Trek stuff is awful imo. Sorry that I won't accept chickenshit as chicken salad because there's not much to...

    Raised by Wolves

    I knew they were playing with the whole Adam and Eve thing(serpent skeletons)...but c'mon, that's the season finale?? Can't believe I'm gonna say it, but think the new Lost in Space series might have a more coherent central mystery than this. Genius way to end the season, don't really give any...

    Raised by Wolves

    Maybe just me, but this shows feels like it's all over the place in story/theme/etc. The initial couple of episodes seemed quite promising, but it's veered way off into another direction(s). I also had an issue with the tech levels not seeming to line up with the actual expertise of the...

    Black Adam (2021)

    This is definitely the DC property I'm most looking forward too, especially with the JSA included. Feel like Rock has a solid connection with the material, and would not surprise me if JSA ends up being what the Justice League should have been.

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    I think the most likely reason is pretty simple, they bit off more than they can chew, especially as their first game of this scope. To try and get it on some type of schedule they have to cut content, and guessing the two fired were unwilling or unable to make it happen. Guessing it was more...

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    https://www.bloodlines2.com/en/an-update-on-the-organizational-changes-for-bloodlines-2 Considering the big delays with this, not surprised the director got replaced, but Mitsoda was narrative, which seems odd. Most of the story elements should have been locked down by now, so I assumed it was...

    The Umbrella Academy

    Quite enjoyed it, definite step up from the first season. Five was my MVP, though Allison had the best overall story, just tied into the time period quite well. Luther and Vanya felt the weakest, though her story came around at the end with Ben\reconciling with the others. Luther's arc is so...
