Jarman and 11 other finalists were tasked with playing a simulated game of World of Warcraft via spreadsheet
How did he manage to fit the award ceremony into his busy schedule of having sex with beautiful models? …Probably with a spreadsheet, now I think about it.
Imagine being so unable to pleasure women that you’re jealous and petty against your wife’s dildo collection.
People asking why someone posted a picture of a pokemon to social media. It’s can’t just be that he likes Breloom or anything.
“Pokemon creature” is the most inhuman way to say that.
“Oh, there wasn’t any political agenda we need to acknowledge. He only did it because he plays radical, violent video games like Among Us. I wouldn’t be surprised if he committed suicide in prison after beating himself unconscious while all the cameras were unsuspiciously turned off.”
This is the most upsetting, and most literal, instance of “not the onion”
No, when THEY do it, it’s just condolidated democracy with a voting population of one. When OTHERS do it, it’s dictatorship from a weak, power-hungry lunatic.
Striving for purity is a fools errand. Striving to be better than you were before? That could work.
If you think you’re pure, you definitely aren’t.
I’ll have you know that Ducktective has a big mystery element, and a lot of humour that goes over kids heads!
I mean, you can do whatever you want. But I would strongly recommend not using AI at all.
If you can’t draw (like me), then find an asset pack that’s close enough to what you want and do some minor edits to make it fit. Even a quick little doodle will have more heart and soul than an AI can ever try to poorly emulate.
Ever seen a game called “Thomas was Alone”? Every character is made of simple rectangles in different colours and sizes. You don’t need much.
Skies of Arcadia.
For one thing, the entire setting is just a bunch of floating islands, and I love that trope.
For another, there’s 6 moons, each with elemental powers. The land under each moon is affected by these powers, making the land under the red moon a scorching desert, and the land under the green moon a thick jungle.
Then there’s the subtle mysteries. There’s an iron star in the atmosphere, which is a satalite but everyone forgot what it’s called. There’s a black moonstone, but no black moon to go with it. There’s a looper of every moon colour, but there’s also a black looper that only shows up once you defeat the main villain.
I think, most of all, I love the tone. Pirates fight an evil empire, and a heroic, upbeat attitude is never punished.
No, it doesn’t prove your opinion, because I am not talking about those movies. I am talking about recent movies with equal or worse writing that were better received. If it was about writing quality, Captain Marvel would have gotten apathy, not hatred. That proves it’s not about writing quality.
Shang Chi and Loki were both released after Captain Marvel and did not suffer due to superhero fatigue. So that shouldn’t be a factor in Captain Marvels reception either.
Captain Marvel was released so late into the MCU due to Ike Perlmutter being deeply misogynistic, so there is absolutely precedent for misogyny in the superhero space. Why are you so insistent there isn’t any?
What does Brie Larson’s charisma (which could be argued either way but I won’t) have to do with the writing quality? Considering everyone blames the writing quality for her reception, as seen above. And people being tired of superheroes didn’t apply to Shang Chi or Loki, which came out AFTER Captain Marvel.
Whenever someone gives me an reason for their opinion that is provably untrue, but they don’t change their opinion, it makes me question what the actual reason is. And when I look at the bad (or even just okay) movies and look at which ones the “fanbase” is angry about, I can’t help but notice it skews towards hating the ones with female leads.
What does that have to do with anything?
Thor has never been consistent. His every appearance does whatever it can to throw away the set up of his last appearance. When he was serious with a few fish out of water moments, everyone called him boring. He was better received when he became more irreverent, but this undercut every serious moment and became grating (see Love and Thunder).
Note how Captain Marvel fills a similar space as Thor originally had, being a serious cosmic hero with a few lighthearted moments sprinkled in. Note how the Captain Marvel films are better than half the Thor films. Note how much angrier people are towards Captain Marvel than they EVER have been towards Thor.
Most of the male heroes are boring and poorly written. And yet people are more angry about the female heroes than the male ones. You can’t pretend it’s about quality at this point.
I’m not sure how much credit Disney should get for that compared to James Gunn, considering they fired him and he was able to turn Suicide Squad into a hit as a result.
I also enjoyed the Captain Marvel movie, and even the Marvels was pretty decent compared to the rest of marvel’s recent crap. But they have female leads, so I guess they’re tainted with original sin.
We don’t actually know the size of the hoard, though. We know it’s big enough for him to sleep in it, and we know the Arkenstone was worth one share of it, but we don’t have specific numbers (at least, none I can see). Any valuation has to be an estimation, and any estimation will be contested.
Also, the value of gold today is 75 times that of what it was in the 1930s, which makes it even harder to put a price on Smaug’s hoard.
Regardless of the specific number, there is a certain level of wealth and greed that makes it morally good to shoot someone through the heart. Smaug is not the only one to have hit that threshold.
If you can’t build Spinda up without tearing every other Pokemon down, you don’t truly respect it.
