-Stupidly hard to obtain -Obnoxious to evolve -Pathetically weak -Ugly as sin Yeah if I were to rank every Pokemon from worst to first, I think I'd bypass the Lickilickys and Simipours of the world to put Feebas at the bottom. --- darkx |

| Topic | What four movies are on the MCU Mount Rushmore? +TIEBREAKER |
| Underleveled 04/30/24 7:40:11 PM #3 | Three of these are absolute locks:
Iron Man - The original and still widely regarded as one of the best. Black Panther - Massive commercial and critical hit that was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture and drew a whole new audience into the MCU and to a certain degree theaters in general. Avengers: Endgame - The second-highest grossing film of all time (was #1 at one point) and the finale to a generation of superhero films. So I have one spot left, I'll give it to... Guardians of the Galaxy - My personal favorite film in the canon and not an unreasonable pick for a fourth spot. It's often cited as one of the best and introduced this relatively obscure team to the public at large, spawning a very successful subseries and a pretty stellar video game. --- darkx |

| Underleveled 04/30/24 10:36:48 AM #368 | Yeah that's fair. I DO think Micronesia and HvV are a little overrated but I think it was fine to have returnee seasons at those points in the series (Micronesia was season 16 to All-Stars being 8, and HvV for S20 was expected). But from 21-34, literally half of all seasons had returnees in some form and many of the returnees were either highly questionable choices or "here's CBS's current golden child for the 80th fucking time and if you're sick of seeing him you're not a real Survivor fan" and it got ANNOYING. Having an All-Star season every 7-10 seasons that consists mostly/entirely of people from that set of seasons is honestly ideal and it seems like that might be what 50 is going for. Like, now that we've really chilled on returnee seasons for a while, getting a season with like, Shan/Emily/Jonathan/Carolyn/Jesse/etc all together is going to feel as fresh and fun as seeing the HvV cast did.

My double unpopular opinion is that a) I don't like returnee seasons much anyway so I'm glad there's less (I think the essence of Survivor is 16 strangers figuring each other out, and returnee seasons with pre-gaming and legacies just isn't the same, though they can be very fun)I don't think this is a hot take at all. Returnee seasons are great as a novelty but the problem is that from basically seasons 16-34 they were SO overused that people began to hate them. --- darkx |

Whitney isnt even the hardest in her game, Id rank Morty above her.Notoriety definitely plays a factor. I've said before in the Whitney vs. Morty debate that the average first-time player is probably better prepared for Whitney than for Morty at their respective points in the game, but Whitney's Miltank is just so infamous that she's become the posterchild for difficult fights in GSC. --- darkx |

| Underleveled 04/26/24 12:50:36 PM #4 | Smash not being a launch title is actually pretty strategic. It's a gigantic system-seller, so releasing it about 12-18 months after launch once the initial rush for the system has died down to retain/regain momentum isn't a bad idea.

This is the best cast Jesse Tannenbaum has assembled, unseating 42's.45 is better than both of them. Emily, Bruce, Jake, Kellie, Katurah, Kaleb, Sabiyah and Kendra are all top tier. Dee is a perfectly fine winner and she and Austin both have their moments. Even my least-favorite on paper, Drew, is a fun villain to root against. Then you've got some entertaining early boot trainwrecks, it's just a really top tier group and the only new-era season that's in my top 10 seasons overall. --- darkx |

But what twists? There's still the dumb mergatory immediately followed by a split vote but I feel there's less random shit ending games out of nowhere. Journeys give less stuff because you can fail them and "knowledge is power" hasn't been uttered a single time, thank god.I mean that's a big part of what I mean. 5 boots into the merge (counting Moriah) we've only had one genuine free-for-all immunity challenge so far, which is icky, and only one truly exciting boot, being Tevin (by exciting I mean "this legitimately shakes up the trajectory of the game"). I'm also REALLY not big on people losing their vote, especially when it happens for a reason totally out of their control. It's becoming way too regular a thing and as bad as shot in the dark is, losing your vote means you don't even have that opportunity, which is unfair. --- darkx |
| Topic | Reality Show General Discussion Topic: Fewer Villains, More Inspiration |
| Underleveled 04/25/24 12:52:16 PM #345 | Not sure what show you're watching, but there are still plenty of stupid twists that are disrupting the natural flow of strategy and discouraging interesting gameplay. What's saving this season is that there are SO many shit tier players who literally don't understand the most fundamental aspects of playing the game and the good, level-headed players are getting frustrated that that's ruining their games, and that's funny.
Me personally, I'm currently putting this one in the "bad pre-merge, good post-merge" category. --- darkx |
