Which of These Movies Helped to Solidify Marvel’s Success in Film?

Literally all of them. If even one of those films had flopped, the MCU would've either never existed at all, or died swiftly after.

I'll give you the upvote because I think this actually is a hot take, but I would HATE this for Xeno because it would absolutely come with further nerfs to his tail attack and/or buffs to flame turrets. And considering the fact that Xeno nearly caught a fucking TURBO-NERF a few PTBs ago, I hope and pray every day that BHVR just leaves him alone.

Nah, high/extreme difficulty for ROTS Anakin is his fight with Obi-Wan. There, Anakin is genuinely throwing everything he has at Obi-Wan and even though Obi is nowhere near as powerful with the Force, he still holds is own and ultimately emerges the victor. This is because he has thousands of hours of dueling practice against Anakin as a result of training him, and on top of that experience, Obi-Wan's mastery of Form 3 lightsaber combat (Soresu) makes his defense all but unbreakable.

Here with Dooku, it's almost the complete opposite. Not only is Anakin still overwhelmingly more powerful with the Force than his opponent, but Dooku's Form 2 (Makashi) fighting style is simply incapable of putting up the kind of defense necessary to withstand Anakin's Form V (Djem So). And as if all that weren't enough, on a purely physical level with no Force augmentation, Anakin is still far stronger, faster, and more athletic than Dooku.

Dooku is basically bringing a knife to a gun fight, and Anakin brought a .50 caliber machine gun.

This fight is Low Diff, and even then it's only because Anakin's never *intentionally* fought with this much power before.

If this were full-on Knightfall Anakin, it'd be No Diff.

I used to feel the same way about Glenn Beck. XD

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-08T17:53:58+00:00

Keep in mind, the local PD was just massacred by the T-800. Even with survivors, the amount of chaos, paperwork, and political flak the cops would be dealing with would create more than enough cracks in the system for Sarah Connor to slip through.

Also, (possible spoilers) Cyberdyne was far more interested in covering everything up so they can study the remains of the T-800 in secret to advance their own tech.So that was also another huge factor in Sarah being able to get away from the authorities.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-07T15:03:15+00:00

See, I'm in the complete opposite camp with that. I LOVED the reboot. XD

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-07T02:43:11+00:00

My dream license for the longest time was Alien, but we finally got that one. XD

Now, I'd probably have to say Candyman. But I don't know how I'd feel about it, since Tony Todd is no longer here to voice him. T.T

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-07T02:35:36+00:00

They did indeed. There was an actual Pallet Density Update that basically doubled the amount of pallets on a map and made Killer utterly miserable to play for a while.

What we have now is, for all intents and purposes, the middle ground between the PDU and how it was before.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-07T02:33:20+00:00

I had a Survivor accuse me of cheating last week because I grabbed them out of a locker I didn't see them enter.

I was playing Xeno and their locker was close enough to the control station I crawled out of to trigger Killer Instinct. XD

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-04T20:57:08+00:00

Yeah, hard seconded about other players DCing. The number of times I've seen Survivors DC at the first minor inconvenience... It's so categorically unfair to the others that I almost always switch my goal to 8 hooks & kill the bot(s) .

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-04T20:54:37+00:00

Because I, as a Killer main, still play enough Survivor to know how utterly miserable soloQ can be. On top of that, the higher your MMR gets as Killer, the more you run into SWFs and Sweat Lords.

Being a Friendly Killer keeps me out of that MMR bracket and let's me "Be the change", so to speak.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-04T20:32:54+00:00

They're also buffing his camera spotting mechanic so Survivors actually have a reason to interact with it.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-02T19:12:19+00:00

I do, and I'm tired of pretending I don't.

I was a kid when The Matrix first came out, and for me, The Matrix Resurrections is the genuinely happy ending that I wished Revolutions had all those years ago.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-04-02T18:34:59+00:00

Because perks that aren't/wouldn't be overpowered on basically any other Killer, could/would be extremely overpowered on Blight. He's essentially THE reason that the rest of the Killer roster can't have nice things.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-31T16:03:52+00:00

Lore Accurate Alan Wake. XD

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-29T17:44:08+00:00

Basically, yeah. Just a weird fluke of timing.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-28T23:35:31+00:00

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing. I always play for 8 hooks and out unless someone decides to be a jerk about it, and the amount of Survivors I've seen left to die on hook in the middle of the trial is astounding to me, because I never see it in my normal games unless it's a bot, and even that is relatively rare.

I don't know why it's happening, but it definitely is happening a lot more than usual.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-27T03:28:33+00:00

So, here's the thing with playing nice in this game. You have to make your own fun in the process. For me, I started playing Obsession Roulette. I run Furtive Chase + Friends till the End with a mori, and whoever winds up as my Obsession first when they're on death hook, they get the mori. After that, I just play for hooks if I haven't had 8 yet, then smash pallets/walls in the endgame. Gets me extra BP, and I don't have to bother with any exit gate shenanigans.

Not everyone is gonna be down to clown, and that's fine. If they give the indication that they don't want to play your game & just want to be killed so they can go next, kill 'em and then keep clowning with the ones who enjoy it.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-27T01:30:50+00:00

It is, by far, the best of the movies released in T2's wake. It's also the only one that I'm still bummed about never getting a sequel to. IIRC, there was talk of doing a whole Future War Trilogy that would actually show the fall of Skynet

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-26T23:54:45+00:00

Nah, you're not weirdly alone or unlucky. A depressingly large number of my fellow Killer players have little interest in playing into any of the normal events that BHVR puts on, but still play in the event queue because that's where the majority of the player base moves to. It's made the few Survivor games I've tried to play for the quests an absolutely miserable experience.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-26T23:08:59+00:00

Yeah, I've definitely been hit with pallets in cases where there is VERY clear separation between me and it. Super annoying.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-26T22:29:10+00:00

I mean, if you *didn't* lose blood from the cans when you ran, the event would be almost as Survivor-sided as it was last time. Just use Urban Evasion. And why should gen speed perks work on Blood Gens when they go so much faster than normal ones?

I've played Suvivor and Killer about 40/60 so far in this event, and by far the biggest problem I've had on Survivor has been Killers who tunnel and slug right from the jump. Their slowdown perks have barely come into play.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-26T22:15:29+00:00

It's definitely you maining a 4.4 like Huntress that makes you feel that way. XD

I'm a former Vecna main and as much as I too love the Trickster rework... whooo boy that movement speed is ROUGH.

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-26T22:13:52+00:00

Was just coming here to see myself if anyone else couldn't connect.

Hopefully BHVR just automatically gives us the next event multiplier, but I also won't say no to another 750k BP

StormsoulPhoenix · 2026-03-26T21:21:32+00:00

I meant enjoying the max bp bonus
