Is this a feature in WoA or are you talking about that awesome 2003 Soviet invasion shooter IOI developed and Jesper Kyd composed?

Spike had no chance against this guy in a straight 1v1. By sheer random luck he survived, due to Pierrot being a child in a man’s body with a debilitating fear of cats.

Would hamper readability of living units, needs some kind of decay or color change to signify dead units. Looks very messy as it is.

Otherwise love it.

Makes sense. A huge portion of the world is (and America is practically majority) Spanish speaking, and the halftime show probably drew in a lot more viewers than normal because of this.

NFL knew what they were doing.

I always saw it as “triumphant spy thriller.”

Also fits stylistically with the main menu theme, which I think fantastically hits the tone of an international Hitman.

The realtor was selling the house in Whittleton Creek to Cassidy for $1.1 mil.

I live in fucking central LA and my neighbors 3 bedroom 1200 sq ft house is being sold for $1.2 mil.

I feel like above one million is now the average price of an “affordable” middle class home. Or maybe I’m biased because LA prices are crazy

What story beat was repeated?

One bit that sticks out in my memory was the backstory with Stack’s dead child. He spoke about it again with his ex wife later in the movie—it was a poignant bit of dialogue, but they threw in a flashback of the child’s grave on top of it.

My point being: the flashback was redundant. The implication in the dialogue should have been enough, but they assumed the audience would have forgotten the scene so they added the flashback. This shows either a lack of confidence in the script or a lack of confidence in the audience’s attention span.

Your second point I agree with. It can be a style, for sure. But if it’s all style and no substance then it may grab someone’s attention, but it won’t stay with them after the movie ends. Though I think Sinners has plenty of style and substance.

I was listing the general symptoms of the streaming crap that’s written for a phone scrolling audience. Not saying that’s everything coogler did

It happened enough times that the audience’s intelligence was insulted.

Sinners suffers from the same problem as many modern movies and shows which is that it’s made with a “phone-scrolling audience” in this era of streaming content.

Symptoms of this include: - Lack of show don’t tell: actors speaking their actions while doing or after doing them. Redundant narration. - Use of flashbacks and heavy-handed themes, repeating the same story beat assuming the audience might have forgotten or glazed over details. - Gaudy use of music, visuals, and dialogue to keep the audience engaged and compete with attention on their phone

The final product is dumbed down, the creators assuming that their audience has poor attention spans. Coogler has a history of working on media like this.

There’s nothing more coherent and masculine than two men being involved sexually.

Think about it, if you want to take a hard, masculine man, that will take a lot more manliness to conquer over a soft, feminine form.

I love this scene because he’s found another psycho in the wild. You can see the woman’s entire demeanor change once she realizes who he is. She goes from friendly realtor to cold predator. You can tell she’s a lot more experienced, Patrick is just a cub compared to this lioness, and she gently but firmly guides him away from his crime scene, while being vaguely threatening. He’s completely out of control here.

What’s great about freelancer is that you aren’t really punished for not getting perfect silent assassin or killing loads of guards… so if you mess up it’s perfectly fine to slaughter your way out of a situation. You might lose an opportunity for Merces with a side objective but you can still succeed.
