    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    Yeah, Ironheart is a six episode TV show, that as others mentioned was finished (at least the first version) years ago. Cheadle's Armor Wars was a planned TV show that was then converted into a planned movie that was converted into 'indefinite hiatus'. Last I heard Ironheart was still coming...

    Andor

    Episode 9 would have had more tension if it was more than just Andor and Mothma (who we both know get out of there just fine) together trying to make it out of the Senate. Going to be honest, I'm having a hard time guessing what the last arc is. I'm not familiar with the cartoons / Jedi...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Having an entire expansion be themed on someone else's IP feels really odd to me. Sure, Vampire Survivors has done it (grab the free Romancing Saga pack if you haven't), and Fortnite has a Star Wars season going on right now (including, of all things, Darth Jar Jar - that's a meta joke I can...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Yeah, that article's been making the rounds on Youtube. Personally, I can't see it as anything other than preemptive PR establishing that Disney (the huge giant corporation) is the villain, not Feige and his people, when they kill all the Marvel TV shows (other than maybe vigilante budget...

    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    I could literally load up my choice of hundreds if not thousands of hours of shows or movies I haven't seen before in under a minute from Peacock / Max / Paramount /D+ / Amazon / etc., to say nothing of Youtube's near endless archive of videos I may or may not have any interest in, plus...

    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    That is unfortunately where I thought it would end up. Straight dollar comparisons are potentially misleading given that The Incredible Hulk was nearly two decades ago, and inflation isn't flat between industries. Throwing their values into the CPI Inflation Calculator , and you get in March...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    1) If Hawkeye had a Season 2, Renner would have been limited to a mentor role, both because Kate is now the lead and because Renner is still physically limited - why would you pay a supporting actor lead actor rates? 2) There's definitely some severe penny-pinching going on at D+. Think about...

    Andor

    Andor is an espionage show, not an action movie. (Much like The Mandalorian, especially early on, was a western.) Even modern FX is much too expensive to make a weekly action/ war movie plausible. If you didn't find episode 6 tense as hell, I would advise you not have it on your TV while you're...

    Andor

    Real talk, wasn't rape one of, if not the, original safespace word? I don't think I was even aware of the concept of trigger words until The Sixth Slave - Penny Arcade of all things became a internet flashfire. It's always been my belief that rape was such a banned word solely because it was...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Packers: B+ The general consensus at the end of the season was the Packers needed a real legitimate #1 WR, and Golden gives us that while also giving us the room to not burn through our 2026+ salary resigning at market prices all the WRs whose rookie deals are about to expire...

    Andor

    Am I the only one annoyed with Dedra's backstory? I think it's very unclear how old Dedra is supposed to be - she's 45 in real life, but the show seems to be portraying her as a young up and comer - but unless she's supposed to be in her early 20s, the orphanage line makes no sense. Because of...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Watson may never see the field again for the Browns, and Flacco's falling off the QB cliff. Unless you're pinning all your hopes on Kenny Pickett, they can't afford anyone else and might as well go in bulk with the rookies.

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    I think there's some split between 'Superstars in the NIL era only after the fame of starting (since they already have their college cash)' and specifically 'Sanders being from the Sanders household'. I expect to see more self-inflated superstars get their draft day comeuppance in the future...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Not seeing the TV feeds, but wasn't Jalen Milroe also in GB? The league really whiffed as well as to when they thought these QBs would be drafted.

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    2005 only had one QB taken in the top 20 in Alex Smith at #1, and then no second QB until Aaron Rodgers at 24. Sure, Rodgers is a toxic diva now, but every other team in the league would have traded for him in a heartbeat fifteen years ago, and the Packers didn't even need Rodgers in 2005 and he...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    The excitement is palpable at the NFL Draft..... 's waiting line. (I should not have stepped out to throw my purchases in my car.) Not a surprise given how awkward GB is to get to vs every other NFL city, but the crowd is like 95% Packers fans.

    Andor

    The current Mon Mothma actress showed up in Ahsoka and also apparently does Mon's voice in current cartoons (I don't watch them). But jesus christ people, I may be borderline assburger, and even I could recognize that Mon's dancing was supposed to be symbolic of the crew recognizing that their...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Launch cooldown manager. Doesn't have trinkets, DOES have two talents (my assuredly non-optimized build) has as passives. Can't edit Blizz's layout. I suppose its better than nothing, but not massively. Edit: Also, only ~one third of the patch content came out this week, and it still doesn't...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    My pen and paper history was AD&D to Shadowrun, with a lot of dawn of internet forum / newsgroup arguing over SR, so its just my personal nostalgia. Disclaimer: I need to give serious reattempts to Disco, BG3, Divinity, and Witcher 3, all of which fell off due to real life time crunches.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    What the hell is an RPG now anyway? I mean that literally - which do you include / exclude out of Mass Effect / Cyberpunk 2077 / Fallout 4? Those characters have wildly different skill sets and narratives based on your choices. Is it background stats? Because then Grand Theft Auto San Andreas...

    Andor

    That was the biggest complaint of the first season, for each of the three-episode arcs, the first two probably could have been condensed into a single 'setup' episode. I personally think these damn kids need to adjust their Adderall schedules, but given the sheer amount of content fighting for...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Just to remind everyone, Bethesda never even finished bugfixing their Fallout 4 graphic update. Yeah, fixing graphical upgrades is now beyond them. Fortunately, Virtuous was actually in charge of this, though I am morbidly fascinated at how many ugly issues we'll get combining Gamebryo and...

    Daredevil: Born Again

    That.. was definitely a Frankenstein creation. Given what the new guys apparently had to work with from the original Disney version, I can't blame the new showrunners too harshly for the end result, but Disney should have tossed all the old material (and never made it in the first place) and...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They're doubling the rate you get (non-Darkfuse) reps with 11.1.5 - and good thing too, as I think it was going to be five months until I could start working on paragon rewards. But again, its not the total time investment that sucks (you could probably spend 10 minutes twice a week there and...

    Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025)

    I would consider 1 (at least the first 90% of it), 2, and 3-8 all separate genres. While the internet now hates JJ Abrams (you should hate DIsney for not having a long term plan for Star Wars and letting Rian Johnson throw grenades into the franchise in the middle of a trilogy), I still think...

    To Brah's point, literally all pregnancies for women 35+ are considered 'geriatric pregnancies'. Kirby's hardly an old woman (though she has hit the age where super low body fat doesn't help attractiveness), but she is literally old for a first time mother.

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    With Flacco signing, Browns in position to forgo drafting QB at No. 2 Is it possible Sanders slides all the way to the Saints, or do the Panthers or Jets actually get the Steelers to move up? Yeah, this is the time of year when we hear theoretical after theoretical only for everyone to do...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    My opinion: Black Widow was not a good movie, but Florence Pugh in both that and especially the Hawkeye show may legitimately be the most charismatic character post-Endgame. (Actually, add that to the near-infinite list of post-Endgame Disney problems - the only great castings were Pugh, Hailee...

    It's the Marvel entry I am most interested in this year, but yeah, I fully expect this to start lower than Captain Falcon.

    The Boys

    To be clear, seeing comic*-Butcher in the show rip through people like he did in Season 1 (remember Haley Joel Osment) before the showrunners retconned that every supe has durability should be amusing. I am thinking every actor who played a minor supe in previous seasons has a pretty high chance...

    The Boys

    It was less of a wet fart than I expected, but did nothing to justify large chunks of the season. As people online have pointed out, all The Boys did in this episode was protect someone (that then went to prison*) then protect someone else (that one of them then killed). Arguably nothing would...

    Again, you guys just don't get it, women came up with everything first, no matter how badly the dates are faked on their receipts. (Apologies for self-quoting, but I just wanted to reiterate how they came up with the worst end result.)
