I like that the OT characters end up living through tragic lives.

My biggest issue with the ST is the New Order and the Resistance. Feels so samey. I get they wanted to go for something more safe after the prequels however.

But I have no issue at all with characters like Luke and Han Solo not having perfect, heroic lives after the OT. I think that's great. Life isn't that easy. Just because you accomplish something amazing doesn't mean you are immune from failure. Sometimes hitting your peak and then failing hits even harder.

I also think it's good they're moving away from powerful bloodlines and all that. Apparently the books hint that Rey gained powers from her link to Kylo. I saw some people notice that Rey and Kylo have the same fighting style which supports that theory too. We'll see if they go with that in episode 9.

who watches these fucking internet essays

Depends on the subject, I like a good video of someone discussing and analysing stuff. Down The Rabbit Hole is a great YouTube channel for video essays.

But yeah, unless it's a ralphthemoviemaker video, I don't want to listen to some TGWTG-wannabe asshole talk shit for hours at a time.

I could see in-depth deep dives being fun for stuff you like and they like.

I don't get spending that long on just negativity.

No. What would be the point? Getting a pay rise is already an incentive to change jobs.

How would that work for independent business owners or performers?

Often I find that the 'just gotta lift yourself up by your bootstraps' people often lived through some sort of privilege like having their college paid for or having rich parents.

What strikes me as odd is that it's not inherently a negative to have been born with or grown up with some kind of privilege. It's not a dirty word, and anyone who rolls their eyes at the mere mention of it should probably do some careful self analysis. You can grow up in a healthy or wealthy family and still run into all sorts of issues like discrimination or mental health problems.

It's only an issue if they lack understanding or empathy because of it. "I never experienced the problem, therefore it doesn't exist", etc.

Exactly. Everyone should use the opportunities available to them. That's not a bad thing at all.

But some people refuse to acknowledge that maybe other people don't have the same opportunities. Combine this and a condescending attitude and you've got an elitist asshole.

Did nobody forget how Killmonger literally wanted to supply various countries with advanced weaponry so they could overthrow governments regardless of their standing with Wakanda

At least Thanos has an end goal

Sounds like the United States.

Ow the edge

BP was classy enough to not indulge in any allegory at the very least

Just when I thought I was out . . .

Edge? Killmonger literally said he learned it from the CIA. It should have helped illustrate his hypocrisy . . .

Yeah Bilbo Baggins said it too lol. Not sure how he missed that.

Killmonger is a relatable kind of villain in the same way villains like Joker and Two-Face are. Or even anti-heroes like The Punisher.

People who are broken by society. People who decide one day to put the power back in the own hands. What if you stopped caring about being good and did what you wanted and what you felt was right even at the expense of everyone else? Of course there's a revenge fantasy element for characters like that. Killmonger adds that extra layer for people because he's lived under an oppression that is relatable to a lot of people.

I think these sorts of villains end up being the best. They represent the worst of what you could potentially be if you stopped trying to be good.

Thanos is awesome. But none of us are out there arguing to kill half the population to save our planet. None of us are imaging a scenario where we end up being the sole survivor and we decide to go grab some infinity stones.

This has always been the case.

The same year Godzilla came out was another movie called Armageddon. A humongous success that eventually lead to the Transformers movies he is whining about.

Universal has to abandon plans for their monster movie franchise after The Mummy flopped.

I'm sure there are countless more examples. If anything it seems like critic reviews have more of an impact now than they ever did thanks to Rotten Tomatoes.

The internet does give a platform for everyone who wants to use it though but I'd say this is only really an issue for nerdy movie properties with overly passionate fans.

His motivation is more tied to real world politics and history.

And Thanos' motivation is related to real world environment issues which I would say is bigger than politics

Just specifically about overpopulation. I wouldn't really say environmentalism was a focus in Infinity War.

1980s classics have aged way better than 1990s and 2000s classics due to practical special effects.

This.

There are some exceptions like a couple of scenes in Terminator 1 but even those aren't that bad. It's not like the movie is hard to watch now.

Stuff with aliens and creatures still look great. Gremlins for example.

Yeah, I'm pretty salty that dumbfucks like Pichu, Daisy, Dark Pit and Lucina are still in while we still don't have several iconic Nintendo staples that are more than deserving of be included in the roster, i.e. King K. Rool, Isaac, Takamaru, etc. Although Ridley was a nice addition.

Clones will always have an easier time getting through because they take less development time.

This is why I think Smash Ultimate will have Shadow instead of Tails or Eggman for example.

Shooting the two Russian targets in Hitman 2 when they were hugging was cool. Same with that moment when you try to shoot your target but it's a cardboard cut-out and it's a trap..

All Ghilled Up in COD4 is also an obvious one.

While your examples are all valid it's not just about dating. It's more that social pressure to be more masculine and tough and being treated like you're a failure or less of a man if you're not. Outside of that you're correct.

I don't know why some guys get so offended over it. Just be who you want to be and don't expect everyone else to be the same. Being masculine yourself isn't toxic.

Yeah did all of it last night (had to google that phone code though WTF?)

Pretty neat. I think there are some decent clues for LiS2. The newspaper about the two people killed will surely be a big plot point and I'm guessing you play as one of the two neighbors shown at the end. Not sure how the powers will tie into it though. Maybe a few of them will have powers this time or one of the neighbors used their powers to save Chris.

They should have done a kickstarter

Money isn't an issue for them, unfortunately it's management. Nothing will get done or you turn out a bad product if you have bad management (looking at Mighty No. 9).

They were in a similar state right before Metroid Prime IIRC. As far as I remember it was Miyamoto who saved the studio and got them focused on Metroid.

Dang. Maybe they should have stuck with Donkey Kong.

I don't remember the last time Nintendo closed down a studio. But we have new CEO's now so I can't rule it out.

It was just a casual question made in response to his statements.

You're the one insisting it was a counterpoint. Well you had been anyway.

Yeah and it was. But this is a talk show interview. Not a debate.

You asked why she brought up gay marriage and I answered you. It was because he was talking about how women should stay at home to raise kids. So she asked how does that work for gay couples.

That's it.

Not sure why you're so fussed over that being a dumb comment and not;

Van Damme first clashed with the minister early on in the programme, rudely interrupting her as she spoke about the female identity. He let out a whistle and an Oh my god before proceeding to ask who would take care of the children if all women had a job.

Van Damme returned on the issue of taking care of the children which, according to him, was a womans prerogative, while the husbands role was to work and provide for his family.

I actually bothered to listen to this and he is completely spot on with all of his points.

For the tl;dw
Ultimately Boogie is a spineless dude who tries to please everyone with his middle of the fence attitude but cannot handle when people disagree with him so he hides behind his mental illness, threats of suicide and his past as an excuse to avoid any personal responsibility or criticism.

He has done this for years now.
