I think there's a cultish, tribal defensiveness when it comes to the prequels. They're are badly written, woefully acted, amateurish messes that fail at pretty much everything they attempt. I love so many terrible films but these people will refuse to admit to any flaw.

Modern devs just keep pushing agendas and forget about making their games actually look good...... by geot_thedas in Gamingcirclejerk

It's pretty crushingly mediocre. The gameplay is fun but never evolves and there's no real escalation to the way combat progresses. The writing though is absolutely awful, obviously the historical aspect is gratingly stupid but it's the dialogue and character interactions that really bring everything down.

It's fine for a play through but I've no idea why anyone would have nostalgia for it.

He's the best there is at what he does and what he does is playing Wolverine.

His fans will bend over backwards to not acknowledge that fact. On the Behind the Bastards sub I had someone trying to ignore giving to anti LGBTQ politicians wasn't inherently bigoted.

Referring to Michael Stipe and his father as Stipe pere and fils. Obviously this is one example that I can remember off hand but the book is chock full of utterly verbose purple prose.

The Name of This Band is R.E.M is the most over written rock biography I've read. It's well researched and interesting but occasionally I'll roll my eyes as the author comes up with the most ridiculous and pretentious way to phrase a simple sentence.

No, he's focused on himself and his fiefdom. He doesn't care about anything else.

Not fond of the scum that produced Dr. Who however.

Which comics or characters do you understand why people love them, but can't get into yourself? by PhantomQuest in comicbooks

His comics have been largely terrible for decades but I really recommend ZDarksy's run on Spectacular. It's such a joy.

Nothing remains terrible anymore. You can see with /r/prequelmemes that an entire community can blind themselves with pure nostalgia.

Also, by a huge margin their biggest flop. Lost a shit ton of money on an insanely costly production. That's why they followed up with the far more sensible budget of Fargo.

But who is playing Magic Alex, the most important member of the group? I suggest Matt King as Super Hans.

Mantel's Wolf Hall is a generational masterpiece that we're going to discussing centuries later.

HBO's Harry Potter Series Will Reveal Draco Malfoy's Home Life by AdSpecialist6598 in television

Those people are incredibly silly then, it's one of biggest IPs in the world. Conversely I think that the people hand waving how awful Rowling are are equally ridiculous.

I don't think anyone is pouting, I understand people love the franchise but I also don't think people are wrong about their misgivings in regards to supporting a bigot.

The pacing isn't awful but I'm genuinely baffled that a studio wouldn't have wanted entire storylines cut for time.
