Who needs a McDonald's and Starbucks when your cat pals make some of the most delicious looking food imaginable. But yeah, there is a plot point in the story where if you didn't succeed, the new world would have been reduced to a smoldering ruin.

"All those 'trailer trash rednecks', 'ghetto thugs' and filthy rurals are the real glut of homophobia, while us good, educated upper class are your allies!" is some disenfranchising bullshit from the same people that try to paint the dastardly poors as the reason for the orange baby being in power, when his biggest base has always been upper middle class pricks. Easy there, Moviebob will flip a gasket if he learns he can't blame the poor for everything. His eugenics worldview will crumble and he won't abide that.

4 is just what happens when you take an already ridiculous premise and try to take it to serious territory. Not to say that there isn't a place for asking these kinds of questions or exploring the ramifications of killing hundreds of dudes on your adventure, but the fourth entry in a series is hardly the place to start that. Same goes with Shadow of the Tomb Raider or whatever the new one is called. It's not exactly the best time to be exploring the problematic and ethical issues of tomb raiding and meddling with things you don't understand. Those are certainly interesting and great topics to explore but not so much in the third entry of a series.

The engrish of the British sailors is perfect. I love 4 so much. Gave you a really easy way to track your storyline progress, it allowed you to create your own broken form and all that good quality-of-life stuff. Wasn't ambitious as, say, 3's spectrum of "being a horrible loving monster" to "being the paragon of what a samurai should be" but all those improvements made it a whole lot more fun to play.

Lovecraft literally wrote a short story where a guy went insane and lite himself on fire with gasoline because he found out his ancestor was a black woman. How the flying gently caress you don't see that as some sort of terrible commentary written by an extremely racist person I have no idea. I like his works but you can also freely admit that, yeah, Lovecraft was a really terrible person. But I also think that's why his horror is effective - it drew upon his xenophobia. That's why you could make an incredible inspired works or adaptations of his works with the right framing and the right director/writers. There are groups in this country living in constant fear of government or local bodies that can tear them or their families away without any moral or ethical qualms and there wouldn't be a thing they could do about it. You can imagine that instead of drawing upon the fear of people who are different, you draw upon the fear of morally bankrupt authority and the figures that govern them. Punching up. I mean, they wouldn't be too far off of the extremely powerful entities that are indifferent to the suffering of humanity that appear in his stories.

Being rude to people online is not a fireable offense. At most it's a sit-down with HR, watching a boring video on social interaction, a slap on the wrist and a week off from twitter. Kamiya dunks on people all the time and he gets praised for it. Nothing she or the guy who first started all this are bad at all. All the blame is with the CEO for being lovely at decisions.

He didn't apologize for those tweets until they were brought up. The thing he apologized for years ago was for a blog where he made other crass, garbage jokes. I don't think the guy should have been fired because Disney, at this point, is just caving in to the Right. They would have known about those tweets and he stopped making them around the time he was hired for Guardians 1. My whole thing is that people are really bending over backwards to defend the guy when people are rightly pointing out that those jokes are extremely lovely and there are a lot of them made by a guy in his 40's. I don't think, ultimately, he's a bad person. Just an idiot who didn't scrub his twitter history with extremely bad tastes in jokes that he should be taken to town for (but not being fired).

nine-gear crow posted:And yet if you pay attention to the actual background details of the world, every implicit detail says that’s actually just bullshit Helghast propaganda and there is, in fact, no difference between humans and Helghast and everyone on both sides is just being amazingly racist. I mean, there’s a bit in the third game where the player character, Sev, has to sneak past a Helghast-detecting bio-scanner in a Helgast-operated facility, and it’s a tense moment because he knows he’s going to get caught because he’s actually a human wearing a Helghast disguise, and he gets waved through clear because THE HELGHAST ARE ACTUALLY HUMAN AND THAT WHOLE THING ABOUT THEM BEING A DIFFERENT SPECIES NOW IS JUST NATIONALIST PROPAGANDA! Killzone is the industry's whipping boy. It's not CoD or Battlefield so why do any other shooters exist? Especially when they, on the surface, look kind of generic albeit technically impressive. They did outsource those games' writing. Not until Horizon did they hire actual writers to not only create the story but to fill out the world.

Eh, that's debatable. Kojima did alright with 1 and 3. 2 has the problem of being talked at via codec for hours on end about all manner of junk. The stuff people remember about 2 and how it predicted twitter and fake news and all that junk was just part of a hours long codec scene that was extremely tedious to sit through.

That Death Stranding E3 trailer was really bad. I dig that it was low impact but it still didn't tell me much about the game other than you walk around very barren, bland landscapes carrying packages and occasionally you have to pull out your broken toe-nails. I'm pretty much expecting a MGS4-level game here, with more gameplay - lots of navel-gazing nonsense where Kojima disappears up his own butt with bits of genius sprinkled in there.

It's most likely, as all those hot takes are, just an allergic reaction to an overwhelmingly white cast of characters being diversely represented. Black Canary, in this case, is represented as a character by her whiteness and blondness. All other characteristics are secondary. Considering those attributes are super duper rare in comics, I can see why she's upset that one minority is being pushed aside from the SJW forced-diversity agenda.

I liked the new Plinkett video and thought TLJ was merely OK. It talked about things they didn't like about it on the writing level and showed examples. They compared and contrasted with Empire and I thought they had a lot to say about the film and didn't once go into chud arguments about Mary Sues and other dumb crap like that. Honestly, I think a lot of reviewers tend to recommend a bunch of asinine changes to movies (RLM is not exempt from this) more often than not but their recommended ending to the film would have been pretty amazing. So I think that makes me a status-quo loving Centrist with kinda bad taste and very meager critical thinking skills.

Their humor falls flat because of the Plinkett character. They go for the Carlin-style of saying something completely hyperbolic and outrageous after something critical but since the character is already an outrageous joke, it doesn't work when he says something hyperbolic as a goof.

I liked all the Souls games though 2 is my least favorite. Bloodborne is god-tier good, however. Nothing Dark Souls did ever reached the heights of Bloodborne. I'm curious to see what they do with Sekiro. It does look pretty rad but some bigger enemies just look like damage sponges. It's really hard to tell whenever the press play these games because as a requirement to be part of the enthusiast press you have to be the absolute worse at video games.

Maybe one day he'll come to the realization that being a "good guy" means when folks talk about this sort of thing, they are happy that people who are under-represented get a chance to be part of the discourse and step aside. It means that you realize that you don't need to be part of the discussion. Of course, openly saying that means he'll most likely lose his youtube audience.

A serious question here: Can anyone recommend me a good video to help someone understand body/gender dysphoria and transexuals in general? Like 101 stuff. Normally, if they had some inkling I'd point them in Contra's direction but while her videos are good and informative, they might be a bit on the weird side for them. I honestly can't remember where I started off or what helped me understand all this a little bit better.

I mean, Zack Snyder's crime is he makes divisive art. People who don't quite get it just push that fact on to him then try to reinforce that fact by making up poo poo about his personal life and politics. This is a very normal thing to do. I can level with anyone who doesn't like his films, we can have a discussion about it even. But this "he's a randian fascist freak" is just a joke and it makes you look like some shmoe who doesn't want to earnestly and critically engage with the thing he had part in creating. It's lazy.

Just a bunch of nonsense making huge leaps of logic trying to make out a guy to be some kind of idiot who doesn't know what he's doing and not the actual subtext or text of the films under scrutiny here. Besides that, every time this stuff gets brought up [the board that shan't be mentioned] always get called a bunch of weirdos for reading into films too much or some silliness like that.

CharlestheHammer posted:Your politics usually make up the bulk of subtext. You just don’t like what’s being discussed,there is a difference. And the subtext of his films don't support any of that. I don't go in with confirmation bias and twist the subtext to create a monster of a person based off of popular consensus. The guy has always had the moniker of "fratboy dudebro" that has evolved into a "fascist objectivist". So going into his film, because I have to review it, I'm seeing it through the lens of an idiot who doesn't understand anything and it's all bad.
