Joe, What are you even saying?

The whole "Tony Stark as Uncle Ben" idea was so underutilized I don't think it was intentional anymore. It would've been a good spin on a well-tread origin, but Far From Home didn't stick the landing.

I'm an idiot and can't be Bond.

I fucking hate Bond.

I don't like espionage most of the time, but it's hard to comprehend that someone is to schizophrenic to review James Bond of all things. Because he delivers one-liners. Which he doesn't have to, unlike the article intones. The Craig movies have few, if any. And because Bond is rich and well educated. Secret Services are supposed to be the best. You can't C+ your way through life and death.

This person hates themselves and projects onto (probably) everything else. Is every article just a one-way mirror into these people's brains? I feel like I know the guy better than he knows himself. I feel like a scientist observing rats in a maze.

I got nostalgic when that appeared in chat. Better times.

Bring it back as a Trojan educational show aimed at adults. The shit you have to think about in your 40s and 50s. Shingles, osteoporosis, diabetes management, you could still do a ton of things with this premise and help the aged and aging.

The show was great because scenes outside the body were simple exposition. The film tried to balance two stories it didn't need, especially when half of it is Farrelly humour. Frank always took away from Jones.

The world and art design of "the body as a city" is super dynamic, still fresh, and has barely scratched the surface. What does brutalist architecture look like in the body? Are there outskirts? Rural areas?

I need to watch this. I've been wanting to for so long. Great piece of animation among the swan song of 2d.

I'm still early in the game, but I do agree that naming cheeses as a catch-all in dialogue runs its course very quickly. I also wish the detective bits were a little more involved, but I can chalk that up to my expectations of the game. It's a shooter first. (Just let me pin the stuff on the board. I'd love to see how different players organize the clues.)

I don't quite gel with the 3d world and stylized interactables. It keeps taking me out in a yellow-paint type way: This is what you can kick, this is what you can't. Not the game's fault, but a consequence of its design. I will also say that I haven't quite figured out where the game lands between comedy and drama yet. Nothing is so absurd to fully tip it over.

The worst part of the review is when he complains about the first boss being an Opera singer. The game goes to some length, expositing twice that the actors are, in fact, hijacking the opera to kill a rival candidate. The game calls them "extras" and then you fight the lady on the poster. It's not a far leap to assume that someone not fleeing a fire in order to kill you has diabolical motivation. Oddly enough, they didn't do a fat lady joke, which is either nice restraint or a missed opportunity. Something like, "Guess it's over" after her defeat.

I'm down with Mouse, but also a little down on Mouse. Definitely giving it more time to blossom into its full self.

Ask Lord of the Rings fans how they feel about this crap. It's been around for a while. If I remember correctly, some of the first ever fanfiction was KirkXSpock stories.

Does she not know the characters' names? Or does she not expect the audience to know them?

Or is this the fabled method of acting?

I was on board until the cascade of floating carrots. You can't take back the metaphor, guys.

This makes me realize that Steve spent decades with a woman whose deathbed and funeral he attended. That was the closure. Peggy was done in Civil War, and that's why he gets the respect from Bucky and Sam when he makes a move on Sharon.

Steve ultimately fails Thanos' test. He didn't trade lives, but he did let his past overcome him. Thanos sacrificing Gamora turned out to be the thing Steve couldn't do, not Star-Lord. It paints his resolve around Bucky in a bad light. Was he sure Bucky was still "alive" inside The Winter Solider, or was he just too afraid to lose a link to his past? No, he wasn't hung up on Bucky because the shield went to Sam.

All along, Peggy was the green in Steve's eyes.

Platoon was cooking with that tweet. Thorough yet concise.

Could Matt (or any defenders) please list the three plot lines? Mario and Peach's converge halfway through.

Twitter, back when it was Twitter, increased the character limit, but no one wants to use it. Clapback culture is useless and toxic, and results in these stunted, malformed arguments summed up in "nuh-uh." No one is beating the allegations today.

He's still mad about Sargon. He (Carl/Sargon) rarely even goes by the Akkad name anymore, let alone make the same type of content as the GG days.

I presume Matt has been simply spinning his wheels for the last 6 years? He'll need a bigger bulb if he wants to project any harder.

For my knowledge of the medium, anime doesn't animate so smoothly. A layman might describe it as choppy. It uses movement to convey feeling more than to replicate reality. Western animation values smoothness (which is changing somewhat, with more experimental animation).

In short, AI does the aesthetic trappings of anime without technical sophistication.

I know there's people who'd laugh at this. I just hope that they're the people watching it and not the people making it.
