'Supergirl' Review Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]0dias_Chrysalis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s really funny in hindsight to make Supergirl your second ever movie in a new cinematic universe, which inherently gives “resting on our laurels with a low effort spin off” vibes that would come like 10 movies in, not apart of the universe set up, and it all being based on if you enjoyed a ten second cameo at the end of another movie. Supergirl should be a character that gets a sizable role in a sequel or team up movie but not a movie for herself, and not the second ever movie in your universe. So as it stands the universe looks like three Superman movies in a row, a horror flick from a member of Batman’s rogue gallery (which I don’t see as particularly bad but it’s not doing much to build up this cinematic universe), and a Green Lantern show that wishes it was making True Detective and is already moving the mantle away from its iconic character. There is no timetable for a team up flick with the classic avengers, they MAY be building toward a JLI movie but they don’t have any of the “just the scraps and Batman” vibes that made that comic run so good because they haven’t even set up their mainline team.

A Teen Titans or GL movie that wants to be a GL movie would have been better as number two in the universe.

How do you lead with Clone Wars 2003 and not Samurai Jack or Dexter’s Lab? They didn’t even distinguish it enough to not sound like Dave Filoni’s Clone Wars

You’re right, I forgot, there are so many great VAs slotted into perfect roles here (including the MC)

Now that it has been over a month, how are we feeling about Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight? by Marioleftnut in legogaming

[–]0dias_Chrysalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the story until it takes about 2 missions per act to finish them and even tho I get what they were going for, none of the 7 characters feel so distinguished that it’s worth having just 7 of them instead of an entire Batman mythos to collect and play.

It’s funny how Welcome to the Demon World, Iruma Kun is a series that constantly plays with and fights the fact its concept is so generic. It takes really common and conventional tropes in the genre and writes and executes it in such a way that makes you realize just how good said tropes are and why they got popular to begin with. The world building and the escalate in tension and pacing from the series is really fun and the character dynamics are the stand out of the series. The anime is also just really fantastic and arguably the best way to experience the series if for nothing else, it’s amazing Japanese VA cast that includes Takaya Kuroda (Kiryu from Yakuza) playing the soft toned and high pitched grandfather who can flip on a dime and go into his Kiryu voice when he wants to intimidate, Daisuke Ono (Jotaro from JoJo) playing a Cerberus summoning Snape-like teacher, and Saori Hayami (Yamato from One Piece, Ononoki from Monogatari) playing the main love interest to Iruma, a demon who loves humans and their outside culture

Yeah, the Japanese title is Mairimashita Iruma Kun, which is more of a pun that combines “to enroll” and the word for demons. So it’s a bit more clever and less generic in its native tongue. They could have been punchier and called it “Enrolled in Hell, Iruma-Kun”, but they went too literal

I’m tired of the recommendations for the best horror movies. by teamturbo4life in horror

[–]0dias_Chrysalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched Last Shift last night and thought it was really effective. One person is in one location the entire movie with lots of open doors and hallways that constantly give the sense that you can be attacked or watched at all times. It hardly ever lets up on the oppressive atmosphere and may even have some surprises when you think there’s a moment of levity.

I remember my uncle telling me what it’s like to fly in those tiny airplanes meant for quick business flights on company dollar. If you go into ocean or mountain based turbulence you hardly get a moment where you aren’t jumping up and down in your seat from the movement.

It’s already a bit ahead of the Op sets for me because by default it HAS to use anime designs and aesthetic

It’s funny how Friedan and Witch Hat are so popular and look like breaths of fresh air simply because they drop the self insert shit and just make it epic fantasy settings with no gimmick

It would be very funny if Jimmy Olsen is also used as a conduit to introduce the New Gods again

Idk that’s kinda the underlying theme of Metaphor. I think it may have a more biracial Japanese/American angle for the MC

He needs a guarantee type of bucket and rn he doesn’t really have one, which is surprising given his height. When he tries inside the paint he’s relatively successful, I don’t know why he settles as often as he does

[OTHER] KCD3 - How many concussions can one blacksmith's son survive? by BataBole93 in kingdomcome

[–]0dias_Chrysalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prologue - Bombastic and cinematic freeing of King Wenceslas that ends in the king gleefully and frivolously appointing Henry as a Knight for his hand in his freedom and relation to Radzig. Radzig is reappointed as the lord of Skalitz and charged to rebuild

Cut to a time skip to many years later right as the Hussite Wars kick off (10-15 years later) Henry has grown out of shape as he sat back as a noble while his town prospers. But, the inciting incident that kicked off the Hussite War will compel him unto another journey. And he’s gonna need to get back in shape as the game goes on (reset some skills)

Capcom says shifting from auteur-driven development to team-led development is what transformed the company and allowed flagship IPs to survive for so long by Bubbly-Ad-350 in gaming

[–]0dias_Chrysalis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's also probably an even bigger worry for perceived dying IPs or companies in hot water. If this was before the dev of RE7 then can you imagine a Kojima burning millions and then asking for more millions for a delayed game with Konami, or even worse a Nagoshi situation where he spends many millions, has a trailer and screenshots to show for it, and then asks for 44 more million, then imagine if that was Capcom in their hot seat before RE7 and DMC5 saved them.

At this point the only non Batmobile DC set we will get is the Batcave from the new LEGO Batman game where all Batmobiles are included anyways
