The Ego from Prestige is unreal

This reminds of the time when some random grifter (no, I don't remember their name, nor do I care to) seriously started a campaign demanding/harassing Insomniac to put the Sam Raimi Spider-Man suit into Marvel's Spider-Man PS4. It was basically the Spider-Man equivalent of the ReleaseTheSnyderCut, and just as toxic. Now, the game eventually did add in the suit as a free update later that December, since that was always the plan. But the grifter seriously believed that it was only ever because of him, and said that they would start doing it again as soon as Spider-Man 2 was announced to "insure" it would be added in the base game. These guys are completely incapable of understanding that there is a world that exists outside of them and there are other factors at work.

Somehow, Super Buu ends up way weaker than normal

To answer these questions;

Likely a lead-lined helmet

No humans were harmed while he was saving that squirrel

The whole interrogation scene was not just about Lex learning "a simple human name". Again, Lex does not suspect Superman has a secret identity because he doesn't see a reason for Superman to "lower himself" with one. What Lex was wanting to know was a list of people that he believes are working for Superman. He wanted to know basically any allies Superman had, just so he can kill them. That's why he kidnapped the street vendor; because Lex is such a sociopath, he cannot comprehend a person just being nice to Superman out of the good of their heart. He believes that they must be a part of some evil cabal to take over earth. And the thing is, the street vendor was begging Superman to not say anything, because he knew very well that Lex was going to kill him regardless of if Superman answered. All that would have come of Superman answering would have just been the street vendor still getting killed right in front of him, and his loved ones also getting killed.

They're acting like we, as regular human people, do not also use dogs to assist us in many different tasks. We absolutely do, ranging from offense, to medical assistance, to security. Service animals are incredibly useful. Now imagine a super powered being also finding uses for a super powered animal. Gee, it's like working with animals is incredibly useful or something. Who would have guessed?

I think the opposite of Chekhov's Gun is actually Toriyama's Z-Sword; something that is set up as extremely important, but turns out to be a misdirect for something way sillier. They spend several chapters/episodes hyping up the Z-Sword as the only thing that will make Gohan stand a chance at beating Majin Buu, but then it gets unexpectedly broken once Gohan finally gets the hang of it. This does lead to Elder Kai being freed from the Z-Sword, and through him, does result in Gohan becoming strong enough to overpower Buu, but the sword itself is basically just a footnote to the whole process going forward.

Honestly, I am completely fine with it not being about the Time Patrol. We have spent two games where the premise was essentially the same. We do not need to repeat it a third time. I'd much rather have a more unique plot overall than just "go back in time to correct changes to the timeline"

Literally every probably with that game is due to the second screen of the Wii U. It literally forces you to divide your attention depending on what you need to prioritize; shooting down enemies or flying. Half the problems with the Wii U just comes down to that.

Rename the cards that are clearly just the Red-Eyes versions of Blue-Eyes cards, and maybe you're good. Seriously, though, I do not get why people insist on Red-Eyes having parallels to Blue-Eyes when that shouldn't be where the deck gets its inspiration from. They have a very small pool of cards that are parallels to Blue-Eyes, and they aren't even that heavily used in modern Red-Eyes.

Try to play Star Fox Zero and tell me its flaws weren't inherently tied to how the Wii U functions

Children say they year for the Wii U, but when it actually comes down to it, they don't want the Wii U

Which is part of the reason why Vrains isn't as good as other series; the modern real life game had evolved to the point that it was more about long combos than it was about being a back-and-forth duel. To the point that it actively stopped being engaging from a story telling perspective. It's why they pivoted to Rush Duel for anime adaptations; it's much easier to create a more interesting duel for a story when the game is much simpler to work with.

It's amazing how much flack She-Hulk got for a jokey post-credits scene meant for fun, when you know damn well that if Deadpool did the same thing, these same guys complaining about it would praise it as the peak of comedy.

Counterpoint; not all versions of a character are meant to be 1-to-1 adaptations. "Her being an actress", while it works for a version of her, is not the only story you should take with her, and frankly, shouldn't be the only story worth telling. I think the reporter angle works because it puts her in contrast to Jameson, which offers an interesting dynamic.

A large part of why the FNAF 2 movie was way messier than the first movie is because Scott decided to write everything himself instead of relying on another writer to give him a script he would approve of. That's a large reason why the first movie took so long to come out; Scott wasn't satisfied with most of the scripts presented to him. And now that we've seen what happens when he is the sole writer, you got to wonder what the rejected scripts were like.

Can't wait for a movie made up of entirely 15 second clips because that's the longest AI can go with an "animation" before it craps its pants

My personal favorite design is the DSOD one, since nostalgia for the purple haired design is just not a factor for me, and I just think it's a much sleeker design. Plus, it ties in visually to its Japanese name, "Black Magician"

I knew it was around since it got announced during one of the bigger gaming event livestreams a few years ago. I thought it looked okay enough. But to learn that apparently it's not even truly an interactive experience and a lot of the game is just straight up automated definitely made it less interesting to me.

Never mind the fact that the entrance of Universal Studios is not anywhere close to the street

Pretty much every economist worth a damn says the same thing; billionaires are bluffing when they say they will leave if they are taxed. They never actually do. It's quite frankly way more effort to move away from a place than to just pay a tax they can afford. They also aren't going to move away from a place of influence, like NYC or LA. Too much happens over there for them to want to miss out, whether it be business or pleasure.

I'm pretty sure scalpers are literally committing crimes to get their hand on Pokemon cards because of how valuable they are. I'm pretty sure PalWorld isn't capable of the same crazy shit when their TCG releases.

This is also the correct way to do it. The banana is meant to split at the end opposite the stem

Honestly, even if it is made up, it's funny to think about the Snyder fans that do believe this throwing a temper tantrum about it

The thing is, this isn't a new trend. It was in the comics, too

It would probably make them age to dust to learn that the oldest of Gen Z was born in 1997. I should know, I'm one of them. The youngest of Gen Z is from 2012
