| Topic | Video games need more cool moms |
| Skye Reynolds 07/22/18 11:50:27 AM #22 | In general, heroes seldom have mothers outside of children's programs focusing on child protagonists. Even in stories where the protagonist is supposed to be down to Earth or sentimental, they're more likely to have an aunt or a stepmother than a biological mother. In action based stories, it humanizes the character too much to have a mother. You can't be a gun-toting, hard-drinking, bad guy killing bad-ass if you have a mommy in Connecticut. And the more fantasy-like stories often fall back on familiar fantasy tropes which involve the absence of parents. Such was a fact of life in the times in which those stories were written. Your mom and dad could die from disease and the "evil" stepmother could inherit the family estate. |
| Topic | What Batman Villain who has never been in a movie would you like to see next? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/22/18 10:19:51 AM #28 | Man-Bat or Clayface |
| Topic | Kimberly (Pink Ranger) from the Power Rangers movie is a fine piece of ass. |
| Skye Reynolds 07/22/18 10:18:00 AM #13 | Amy Jo is hotter. |
| Topic | What happened to gaming box art? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/21/18 11:39:49 PM #2 | Same thing happened to movie posters. With the internet and social media came a decline in the need for catchy visuals. You just have to get your name out there. |
| Topic | Think of a random video game character |
| Skye Reynolds 07/21/18 10:52:58 PM #3 | Samus Aran I think the last election pretty much established that old men would come out of their graves to vote for the devil himself than let a woman be president. |
| Topic | RPGs tend to have really shitty final dungeons |
| Skye Reynolds 07/21/18 7:35:24 PM #7 | Shitty final bosses too. It's like all of their creativity is used up by that point. Or they just have a set image of what a "final" threat should be and they go for that rather than letting their imagination guide them. I wonder how many problems in the arts would be resolved if people didn't stand on ceremony. |
| Topic | James Gunn has been fired from Guardians of the Galaxy after controversial tweet |
| Skye Reynolds 07/20/18 9:28:32 PM #254 | The dude seems like a fucking douche, but this kinda scares me. The comments were made before he was signed on to do Guardians of the Galaxy. There are things I've said online that I wouldn't want getting back to me. Some of my comments from the 2000s and early 2010s might come across as casually racist or sexist. And there are a lot of things which aren't seen as acceptable subjects for humor that were standard fare a decade ago. In a way, it's sort of the new McCarthyism. "Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the communist party?" |
| Topic | Which MCU X-Men movies would you like to see? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/20/18 11:11:16 AM #9 | I don't care about storyline or characterization. I just wait 90s Rogue in live action. <_< |
| Topic | Is Scar Black? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/20/18 12:45:27 AM #9 | I always viewed Simba and Nala as an interracial couple. Simba looks like a white surfer dude and Nala reminds me of an African woman with short hair. As for the others, I never really thought about it. They're talking animals, so they don't really have race or ethnicity unless it's factored into the character. |
| Topic | Hulk Hogan was forgiven. Do you forgive Michael Richards? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/19/18 9:40:24 PM #46 | New Day didn't forgive Hulk Hogan. |
| Topic | "327 new superhero origin story movies announced!" |
| Skye Reynolds 07/18/18 11:30:29 PM #1 | Seriously, I am so grateful that the 1989 version of Batman started with Bruce Wayne already as Batman and they casually pieced together his origins over the film. It's so much better than taking hours to establish a character and their background. It's one of the cheapest tricks Hollywood has ever come up with: take the first act of the three act structure and make that the entire movie. And it's become one of the dullest, most monotonous film types. There's enough of them to rightly establish "origin" as a genre. The romantic picture, the drama, the horror story, the western... the origin story. And, yes, this is in direct response to that Joker origin story movie. Feel free to correct me on the title because he's a villain and not a hero. |
| Topic | Matt Groening apparently created the Simpsons yellow so they wouldn't have race. |
| Skye Reynolds 07/18/18 7:22:28 PM #8 | The Simpsons are yellow: - so that people will recognize them when flipping through the channels - so that the hair could blend seamlessly into the skin without a problem - so that the Simpsons wouldn't have a race and everybody could project onto them "Did I ever tell you how I got these scars?" |
| Topic | Don Bluth returns to Disney after 40 years |
| Skye Reynolds 07/18/18 12:22:12 AM #8 | Robin Hood 2: Rob Harder |
| Topic | My apologies to Jason Voorhees. |
| Skye Reynolds 07/13/18 11:54:30 PM #1 | 3 months ago, on NES, I beat him by the absolute skin of my teeth. He defeated me the day itself, Friday the 13th, and I beat him the very next night on Saturday the 14th. Final girl Chris defeated him with one health bar left as his fist was coming down for the fatal blow. I promised him then and there we would have a rematch on the next Friday the 13th. Now there won't be another Friday the 13th until September of next year. Circumstances were just such that we were denied our rematch this day. It'll be a long wait, but I'm sure we'll have that rematch. :/ |
| Topic | Trump supreme Court pick: "hot dogs should have ketchup on them" |
| Skye Reynolds 07/12/18 8:36:08 PM #3 | I hate to agree with him, but he's right. <_< |
| Topic | One of my cats apparently died overnight. |

| Topic | How would you do a Mickey Mouse theatrical release movie? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/12/18 8:24:35 PM #4 | PiOverlord posted... Would it be an actual movie, or just a large compilation of shorts? Movie. I suppose it would be possible to do an anthology film, but I think that would be risky. Even if you had movie quality visuals and strong individual stories, a lot of people would still feel like they were being expected to pay for a couple of TV length stories instead of one big movie. |
| Topic | How would you do a Mickey Mouse theatrical release movie? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/12/18 8:20:50 PM #2 | If I had creative control, I'd make it a modern update of Mickey's more adventurous days from shorts like Thru the Mirror and Brave Little Tailor. |
| Topic | First images from Godzilla: King of the Monsters |
| Skye Reynolds 07/12/18 8:17:47 PM #15 | Uh..... Godzilla: King of the Monsters was made in 1956? Why reuse the title if the movie itself is a remake of Ghidrah: The Three-Headed Monster? Also, for those wondering about what Godzilla's firing at, the new movie has two flying monsters: Rodan and Ghidorah. My guess is he's aiming at Ghidorah. |
| Topic | I like it when a character's sexiness is an actual attribute to their character. |
| Skye Reynolds 07/09/18 8:04:28 AM #4 | It's kinda silly when people get mad that a character's movie counterpart isn't as attractive when every character is depicted as a 10 and only 2 or 3 of them actually have their beauty acknowledged in-universe. If it's something that everyone has, it's not unique. And if it's an important attribute, it needs to be brought up in the story itself. You can't just make every guy tall, every woman beautiful, and expect the casting decisions to reflect that every time. |
| Topic | Mario is the bad guy |

| Topic | why is the US SNES so ugly? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/08/18 11:05:19 PM #2 | To keep people from setting their drinks on the flat surface of the console. No, seriously. That was the reason. |
| Topic | Would you watch a solo Cyclops movie? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/08/18 9:08:37 PM #10 | The problem with Cyclops is simply that eye lasers are a secondary power. If laser projectiles are your only method of attack, you're supposed to shoot them from your hands like they were a gun. Having the lasers originate from his eyes is like having a superhero whose one and only power is super-breath. I begrudge the writers for giving up on Cyclops so easily, but the awkwardness of his superpower makes it an uphill battle for him to be popular; especially when standing next to Wolverine. |
| Topic | So I played around 10 minutes of Ice Climbers on my NES Classic. |
| Skye Reynolds 07/08/18 8:47:37 PM #6 | kingdrake2 posted... doing me proud already. Luigi Was overpowered in that game. Yeah, but he lands like every surface is covered in oil. Peach is the real game breaking character. She can practically fly. |
| Topic | Remember the lion king game for genesis? |
| Skye Reynolds 07/08/18 8:03:00 PM #2 | I have a copy for Super Nintendo. The only difference is that the SNES has a larger color pallet. Otherwise, they're practically identical. It's a fun game. It gets a reputation for being difficult, but that's entirely on account of a glitch in the second level where you have to jump over an invisible branch. The rest of the game has a fair difficulty. Other than that, it's a fun game which makes good use of the license and even features a few animals that were cut from the movie -- like a rhino and a leopard. |

| Skye Reynolds 07/08/18 6:00:45 PM #11 | TheSextMachine posted... Skye Reynolds posted...In all seriousness, they need to make a prequel based off of Quint's USS Indianapolis story. Yeah. They should've listened to Spielberg. Jaws 2 was decent, but nothing to write home about. The good thing about that idea is that it's never too late to make that movie happen. |

| Topic | just noticed that naughty dogs logo on their twitter page is the rainbow flag |
| Skye Reynolds 07/08/18 10:43:12 AM #15 | Has anyone played Last of Us 2? Is it any good? I dislike the "politics first" approach in any context, but it makes a difference whether or not the game is actually good. If they're shoveling out a ho-hum sequel and expecting people to purchase in in the name of PROGRESS, they can stop that shit right now. If the game is as good as the first one, and they're just a little too excited about showing off how progressive they are, it shouldn't take away from the game itself. Virtue signalling is annoying. I dislike it almost as much as mild discrimination; which is saying something considering it is a much lesser offense. But there's a difference between banging the gong in the name of progress and trying to use politics to sell a product of poor quality. *cough*Ghost Busters*cough* |
| Topic | just noticed that naughty dogs logo on their twitter page is the rainbow flag |
| Skye Reynolds 07/08/18 10:37:53 AM #12 | myzz7 posted... SJWs are not good customers. Look at what they did to marvel comics. "Kill everyone, but bring me that woman unharmed." "Sorry, dude. We may be evil pirate zombie ghosts, but we're progressive evil pirate zombie ghosts." |
| Topic | John Cleese on calling other people "snowflakes." |
| Skye Reynolds 07/08/18 10:33:52 AM #5 | It's one of those terms that's been ruined through misuse and overuse. To me, a "snowflake" is somebody who is pretentiously trying to be unique. If someone dyes their hair green and buzzes off one side of their head, that person's a snowflake. Yet, somehow, the term became associated with emotional fragility. And like every other buzzword in this generation, it became incorporated into political vernacular. If you call someone a snowflake, you're a conservative. It's like a political and ideological Civil War. There's no such thing as neutral terminology. They'll try to force you to pick one side or the other and, if you don't identify, they'll try to claim you for their own or as part of the opposition. Fuck that noise. |

| Topic | There's one thing that annoys me about Disney... |
| Skye Reynolds 07/07/18 6:46:21 PM #3 | DocileOrangeCup posted... they should have the Jeremy and the princess where jeremy from ohio meets up with a princess and she loves him for his personality If they made that film, they'd probably both be ugly. <_< |
| Topic | There's one thing that annoys me about Disney... |
| Skye Reynolds 07/07/18 6:43:36 PM #1 | Disney be like, "Princesses belong to princes. Non-princesses belong to princes too. Non-princes can have each other." Seriously, before Aladdin, I think literally every guy who experienced romance was a prince whether or not it was essential to the plot. Things didn't get much better of the common man after Aladdin either. Elsa's gay or asexual, we haven't decided yet, but you can have her annoying freckle-faced sister or short-haired Rapunzel. For a company known for its romance, only the princely elite ever seems to get a deal worth having. :v |

| Skye Reynolds 07/07/18 4:20:36 PM #17 | Ugh. It looked terrible when Chris Evans's face was randomly floating in front of that scrawny guy's head. Like, it might as well have been a cardboard cut out. It'll probably be just as bad when they try and de-age the actors. |
