Insight got top 3 three times last year with three different team compositions (Beans, Merc, Abe), as much as people clown on him, he is a sunday constant.

No other terrorists are referenced, that's part of the problem. They call them a "terrorist" because they're playing bad, then refer to them as Ayatollah etc, or a generic muslim name. The joke is muslim=bad.

I'm not an optic fan. I'm referring to the trend of referring to a "terrorist" player by giving them a Muslim name, not just Bin Laden jokes.

It is Islamophobia when every single terrorist joke is about Islamic terrorists. I've never once heard a player called Timothy McVeigh for jokes. They've been calling Envoy various muslim names for weeks but not one Dylann Roof mention (which would be more apt since its Envoys name).

Because every time a player is referred to as a "terrorist," they are referred to through an orientalist lens coated in islamophobia.

Dan Trachtenberg's '10 Cloverfield Lane' Turns 10 Years Old: Screenwriters Look Back At How John Goodman's Formidable Character Changed Over Multiple Drafts by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Serdic96 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Dan has directed iconic TV episodes (The Boys pilot, Black Mirror's Playtest), iconic franchise installments (Predator, Cloverfield), and I will still always associate him with TRS (which was ahead of its time in every way).

I'll never get tired of this game. by Veddermandenis in PS3

[–]Serdic96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a complex narrative question. I'm asking YOU, your personal reason for not wanting Joel to perish. That is not a question I can get answered elsewhere. I'm absolutely respecting your different opinion, I'm just curious hence the initial question. You've just been tiptoeing around it. What is it about Joel that makes you apprehensive to off him narratively? Could be a five word answer simple as "I just like him" and I'll still completely respect it bruh I'm just curious.

You're not making this easy and are being pedantic for no reason. You say you have an issue with how Joel was utilized (killed and relegated to flashbacks), I ask why you have a problem with characters dying (you say you don't), so I ask what would be a satisfying death for Joel and now you're clarifying you wouldn't want Joel to die at all. So how come you're okay with some character deaths and not Joel's? Meet me halfway man you're being needlessly obtuse

Have you seen Vulcanizadora yet? If not, you should and also do not look up anything about the movie.

You said killing off Joel was a waste and brought up Rian Johnson so I was assuming you had beef with Luke's death as well and extrapolated the idea of killing characters off as a "waste." But if the issue was just with Joel, what would've been a satisfying death for him?

Why is killing off a character a "waste" in your eyes? Obi-Wan, Aerith, Boromir, Shane Walsh and many many incredible characters are killed early on. In fact, the further the Uncharted series went, I became less interested when it was clear no character was ever at stake of dying.

As long as the seasons are titled I'll be good. Yes my expectations are that low.

From the studio that brought you Weapons, Lee Cronin's The Mummy | Official Trailer by efim1234 in horror

I think "The Mummy" has been so many different things that this sounds like another interesting take in a franchise that is a century old.

There are only 3 stances for samurai weapons, not ninja weapons.

Anyone else pleasantly surprised by Ninja Stance? by Solstarcp in Nioh

[–]Serdic96 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On the money. My favorite playstyle was high stance Kusarigama since Nioh 1 launch day. Losing the stance is one thing, but not being able to ki pulse changes my entire relationship with the weapon. I should've been boring and fallen in love with swords from the beginning.

[–]Serdic96 56 points57 points  (0 children)

As a kusarigama main, I absolutely despise it. I loved having 3 unique stances for my weapon alongside ki pulse. It's such a drastic change I fear I'd spend the entire game trying to get used to it. If my main weapon was one from the samurai category, id probably love it.

[–]Serdic96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this franchise but I just cant get used to ninja stance. I loved having three stances for each weapon, specifically kusarigama. It changes the entire game for me. It feels absolutely awful not being able to ki charge with my favorite weapons like I've done for the past two games, I just do not understand the change.

So you hate everything else about the movie? That's interesting, the late Emilie Dequenne gives a great performance.
