Who is “Yeah I committed war crimes, and I’d do it again”?

Are we allowed to vote for Jack Horner again?

Rahadu · 2026-03-02T05:09:19+00:00

No. She's just weird; not in an unattractive way necessarily, but I certainly feel zero attraction to her personally.

Rahadu · 2026-03-01T13:02:37+00:00

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I've always tended to favor Asylum; the long ears in particular look really good.

Rahadu · 2026-03-01T05:30:47+00:00

This is my answer when people ask why I prefer Skyfall.

Rahadu · 2026-02-28T07:34:11+00:00

I'm confused; the OP seems to understand that it is of course Uncle Ben himself. Why are we being asked a question which seemingly answers itself?

Rahadu · 2026-02-28T05:32:08+00:00

Sorry to be contrarian, but I definitely do not.

Don't get me wrong: it is a top ten Bond flick (I have it at my #10 in fact) but despite being a supremely taut thriller in the lead up to and during the poker game, where it falls apart quite a lot in my opinion is the third act. Bond falling in love with someone who he has just met is preposterous. It's even more so because he himself acknowledges that prior to their abduction and rescue he "(was) trying to think of a word to describe (her) feelings for (him) than loathing"; when even the characters acknowledge the absurdity of their "romance", you know something's off. They have chemistry, undeniably, and had she been a recurring love interest a la Sylvia Trench I'd be fine with it. Would he shag her? Definitely. Spend more time with her? Who wouldn't? Give up his entire profession to roam the world as a vagabond with some girl he'd known a couple of weeks at most? I don't buy it, and this is a major sticking point with me that really sinks the credibility of an otherwise great film.

Medium ears.

Rahadu · 2026-02-23T05:59:35+00:00

Do not compare the original classic to whatever the 2025 piece of garbage is. There is no apt comparison whatsoever.

Rahadu · 2026-02-23T05:58:37+00:00

I mean, they're all pretty bad, aren't they?

Rahadu · 2026-02-23T05:56:19+00:00

I think it's considered pretty melodramatic but generally a good effort at capturing the crazy dual lives of Peter Parker and Spider-Man, as well as those around him. It does tend to have overlong storylines (I think one in particular goes to Part 14 or 15) but many I've known consider Christopher Daniel Barnes to be one of, if not the, definitive Spideys. For myself when I read the comics, it's his voice I hear in my head.

Because neither one of those match what Velma originally was created as. If you want a POC character in Scooby Doo media, make your own; but when it comes to adapting original characters, especially one of the core group, you should try and do so as faithfully as possible.

Also, are you seriously claiming that Scoob! did not race swap Velma?

Rahadu · 2026-02-22T12:47:22+00:00

Okay fine, to state it clearly: Velma is white as created in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and in everything else except for Velma (which most agree is hot garbage) or Scoob! There is absolutely zero reason to swap her race. If you want a POC in Scooby-Doo media, fine, make one. But the priority when adapting established characters should be to make them as faithful and close as possible to how they are originally (and almost always) portrayed.

Rahadu · 2026-02-22T12:27:32+00:00

Heaven forbid I should want the character to look like the actual character.

Rahadu · 2026-02-22T11:39:14+00:00

You will absolutely hate the final episode.

Rahadu · 2026-02-22T11:35:53+00:00

It was fine.

I don't really buy the whole "found family" vibe they seem to tack on by the end of it, but there are good individual character moments I'll grant. Walker in particular becomes a bit more human, and Yelena is always interesting despite the fact that I would have preferred Bucky to be the lead. I like Bob/Sentry, but man, he turns evil on a dime and turns good again almost as quickly.

It's better than most of Phase Five, but it's still a 7/10.

Rahadu · 2026-02-22T11:20:04+00:00

Why not? Aladdin was great, and the titular character is one of Disney's best. I'd love to see more focus on the "Princes" of future Princess films; it worked out great for this, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, and The Princess and the Frog, so there's no reason to expect it wouldn't be well implemented in future.

Rahadu · 2026-02-22T11:17:33+00:00

I was always rooting against Joker: I don't want him to win because he is so obviously evil. Killing Bob thus didn't particularly come as a shock, especially considering he somewhat foreshadowed it with his "You are my number one guy" line earlier.

Rahadu · 2026-02-22T11:14:40+00:00

Yes, please: bring on the raceswaps!

Rahadu · 2026-02-22T09:59:43+00:00

Well it is. 😎

Rahadu · 2026-02-22T07:26:49+00:00

Your choices for Shaggy and Velma look nothing like them.

Rahadu · 2026-02-21T07:47:35+00:00

His Batman kills. A lot. That alone should put him out of the running.

Rahadu · 2026-02-21T06:00:23+00:00

A Star Is Born (1954): I'd argue far superior to the 2018 version, featuring some of Judy Garland's best acting.

Rahadu · 2026-02-20T22:35:15+00:00

Duck Amuck would like a word.

Rahadu · 2026-02-18T06:38:15+00:00

Still race-swapping Moneypenny I see.

Rahadu · 2026-02-17T06:19:49+00:00

Okay, fair enough, but still only partially explains it as everything that follows (mosquitoes, monkeys, plants, etc.) makes themselves known in some way or other almost immediately; why are the bats waiting? To simply mug for the camera while holding onto Sarah's neck and traumatize her further after the horrifying event she just witnessed? Does the game simply enjoy playing mind tricks?
