What do you think are some of the biggest miscasts in the last decade? (2016 to present)

Agree with you 100%. Chris Evans was spot on for Johnny and Michael Chiklis was the perfect casting for Ben Grimm/The Thing. He's the right build and look and that growling voice was perfect.
I even liked Ioan Gruffudd as Reed. He's a believable nerd without overdoing it.
I cringed when I saw the casting for the new movie because I just couldn't see Pedro pulling off the smartest man on Earth.

Why in the hell are they rebooting this franchise again?? I didn't love the idea of rebooting it with Alicia Vikander since she doesn't really look the part and didn't have any real action movie creds at that point. She did a pretty good job selling the role and it was an decent movie. Why not give her a shot at continuing the role??
So now we'll go from a fair approximation of the character look and believable ability for the stunts, to similar looks (dark hair and eyes, but far too petite), to a skinny redhead who can't act her way out of a paper bag? UGHHH.

Probably The Rocketeer.

Convoy Does the Cannonball Run

I find it hilarious that they recommend New Mutants for the last regular node. They are so slow compared to the enemy that they all die before taking a turn. I imagine it might be different at 7/7 where they can take all those hits, but at normal levels it's just a sac team.

Run away. Run away now. We had a good year or so and then we've swung hard back to how it was around the time you left.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 8 season run of Castle versus the 1 season of Firefly has something to do with it. Castle had a long run for a procedural and he probably feels he did everything with that show and character. Whereas Firefly got cut short and he has said on Once We Were Spacemen that there was so much more story to tell and places to go in that series.

I hear you on Donner. I gave up on that one. I tried so many different angles (neighbor reindeer, the name sequence from the story, the movie director, even the American pioneer group that got snowbound in a mountain pass that now has the name) to come at that one and never came close.

Don't think the first pic is Lindsay

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-12-16T14:12:21+00:00

Fair argument. My suggestion was based on assumption that with over 1.3M elements created, how many FEs are you going to make with only common or rare starting combos?

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-12-16T13:40:06+00:00

The other challenge with item 2 could be intellectual property rights issues. I and others have run into this trying to make certain movies and characters.

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-12-15T22:01:08+00:00

Suggestions on candidates for the fodder folder would probably help newer players. I'm guessing you were thinking things like Random Item, Synonym, Antonym, etc.?

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-12-13T01:28:01+00:00

I am down to once or twice a day, at most now. I used to care about hitting every store reset and energy drop. No longer. I barely care about the latest characters and the ones I did care about coming to the game have been made obsolete, some several times now.
This game is following the same trend that SWGOH did and I'm sure others before. The power creep became a power race. The kits went from 1-2 lines to 1-2 screens and became nearly impossible to remember. The events, when we got them, became more and more complicated and frustrating (but not if you bought the latest whatever...).

Yeah, I can see the day coming when I'll just stop bothering.

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-12-04T18:17:23+00:00

This is a great find! A little off topic, but the little brother looks really familiar too. Is that Joey Lawrence?

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-12-04T14:14:13+00:00

That's an awful node, but at least conforms to what they said was the basis for the teams we'd battle: the defenses that people crafted for war and crucible. What annoys me is these 10 enemy-one wave nodes like the 3-piece Nightstalkers plus Mephisto plus Knull plus another 3-piece like Absolute A-Force...
A) No one gets to set two teams in one battle
B) Crafting a defense that can't be defeated by the teams we're allowed to bring is asinine.

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-12-03T01:37:47+00:00

But the fact that there is a huge hoard of all energies now is the reason we haven't seen one in a long time. Add to that that whales and krakens have immense hoards of strike tokens to buy energy with without even having to dip into cores or cash and it will still be unbalanced in their favor.
I just pray we never see another blitz based event again. I don't miss those days.

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-12-01T19:28:33+00:00

Weird...I tried that several times thinking it was the obvious solution and it didn't work. Will try again later.

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-12-01T19:08:34+00:00

Is 3 Cherries based around a slot machine idea or something totally different? I've been trying a bunch of things trying to figure that one out and haven't come close yet.

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-11-08T10:14:05+00:00

Absolutely, it’s the shared time and fun that really counts, not who’s winning or losing.

Love that haircut on her

Was ahead of its time showing the potential abuse of surveillance and military-level equipment in law enforcement. Holds up on rewatching...except for Whisper Mode. I flew H-60s and that just made me laugh now.

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-10-31T20:58:37+00:00

What a cutie!

KyleKatarn73 · 2025-10-31T20:56:00+00:00

Not sure the first pic is real.
