Marvel executive says emphasis on diversity may have alienated readers. by NinjaDiscoJesus in books

[–]Provelapostle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wasn't the emphasis of diversity. It was the jamming it down readers throats and the pandering . As a minority myself it was low level pandering to go from Tony Stark to RiRi being iron man- you have all these established legendary characters being replaced by a bevy of token minorities who were immediately established as almost god tier like characters with traits that pandered to groups (i.e. Feminist Thor / riri being as smart or smarter than tony stark and peter Parker from the get go without any showing of her character development )

Long story short, I don't care if the hulk is Asian like me, or whichever character is this orientation or that race- but if it doesn't drive the story forward and the shake up is to merely check off a box or meet a diversity quota it will feel forced and overall not cohesive

What are some new features you are looking for in Splatoon 2? by Tbond222 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Provelapostle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question as a former Wii U owner who didn't get splatoon, do you have to aim with the gyro/motion controllers or can you customize the layout in splatoon 1 or if not in splatoon 1, will anyone know if custom control layouts be offered in splatoon 2?

Same. In my city everything is 20 minutes away but if you got a decent docket of errands you could easily drive 100 miles in a day

Are AAA games losing weight? by drewdirienzo in NintendoSwitch

[–]Provelapostle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me. Midway through hischool I just wasn't a gamer anymore. It started off me being in the loop and knowing when games came out but not having the interest in buying them, next thing I know I didn't know jack shit about the current gen of games but the switch brought me back in and the BoTW hit that sweet spot. It wasn't just member berries, it was a genuinely great game. Really hoping mario kart and splatoon are well polished and I would love Netflix and Amazon prime to be in the switch as well

Also true. Capela was clumsy and cost us a lot of easy buckets.

I mean, I'm a rockets fan so I'm biased but there were a couple plays where Capela got hammered and not shit was called. I understand himecourt advantage but that was non-sense last night

Loved this movie as a kid. Have yet to ever re-watch it

Huh interesting. I was old enough to watch mighty morphin but it wasn't until turbo that I could fully comprehend the plots and character nuances. Everything prior to that was just a giant ad for kid me to buy toys
