I'm at my very last chapter 2, H'aanit, and I suddenly feel like I've made some kind of mistake. I've been steamrolling the game before this, but out of the blue, just like crazy, the game has become super hard. My A team is actually over the recommended level, but I'm having a very hard time with fights. There are these Wild Weasels that can literally wipe out my entire team in one shot. Something is very wrong here.

Maybe you wandered into a chapter 4 area by mistake?

Is your gear being cycled regularly?

No I'm clearly in the H'annit chapter 2 dungeon, which is a forest or something. And I'm trying to keep up with equipment, I'm fairly up to date, there's a few more stuff I could purchase but don't have the money.

Wild Weasels. One hit party wipe.

Seinfeld is a bit the same way.

not that there's anything wrong with that

I always felt like that bit actually was funny and not mocking homosexuality in anyway. If anything, it's a joke about how insecure heterosexual men were at the time. IIRC, though, there were some other jokes about guys being gay and stuff like that. Could be mis-remembering, though.

Or are you cis-remembering? ~_^

The entire concept of insurance only works when a sizable portion of the insured will never cash in on their insurance. Home owners, cars, boats, etc.

Since literally everyone will need health care, health insurance as a whole is not sustainable.

9/11 made muslims more hated than black people

Honestly this has some validity.

I mean 9/11 in general. Western culture was more unified and we went super hard on freedom of speech, so political correctness wasn't as big a deal. I remember society in general would 100% back something like cartoons of Muhammad in the face of criticism from Muslims, but nowadays society would probably view a cartoonist doing something insulting as a jerk and are more likely to side with Muslims.

Oh and this is kinda cheating, but girls with boys names can be cool if the girl is hot. I know a few really hot girls named things like Taylor, Sawyer, or Dylan. It makes them even hotter imo.

I like that, and I also like it when they have an actual girl name, but shorten it to the guy version. Like Alex or Sam or Jack or something like that.

in the actual "canon" bible story, after Caine is banished from his family, he goes out into the world and gets married with no explanation of how he found a woman. until that happens, there is still only one female mentioned in the world, Eve.

so it's always been a mystery on that part of the story

I love how people argue over which books of the Bible are canon and which aren't. They don't like what this ancient book says along with all these other ancient books? Then it doesn't count. And they're perfectly fine knowing those books exist and letting other people tell them whether or not they should believe in them

and any of those books could be canon. it was just on the whim of a group of men many centuries ago in one single meeting they had. any book could have been in the bible. the bible wasn't written as one thing from the beginning and a clear idea of what went in it. the bible is a collection of books chosen by these medieval guys to be canon to them personally. but there are like hundreds of books that could have been in the bible. they just weren't chosen. and the choices were based on personal opinions and sometimes even politics of the time. so saying a book isn't canon just cause it's not in the bible is silly

Why is it silly? Like you said, they're a ton of different individual books. By definition, "The Bible" is a chosen collection of these books. There are a set number of books chosen to be put together, and they form the Bible. A book not chosen isn't a part of the Bible. What's so silly about that?

Much unlike Ready Player One which is great.

Also Valerian is based on some French comic books that from a cursory examination have nothing to do with the movie.

Yeah, Ready Player One is another movie to compare it too. It also had an abundance of CGI shots and wacky action and special effects. And it was great! It's amazing how two movies can seem so superficially similar but one is extremely entertaining and the other is such a drag.


Really? I thought Ready Player One was just as garbage. That "pop culture off" between the main character and villain was cringey as fuck.

It's my top movie of the year so far. It just felt so fun and adventurous to me. And yeah there were a couple cringey parts but you can look past that.

A lot of Batman villains are very sympathetic. I can't remember all the names so bear with me. Also I'm going by the cartoon, since that's canon.

You got Mr. Freeze trying to save his wife.

You've got that woman who is stuck in a little girl's body. That'd piss anyone off.

You have the puppet dude, split personality, his real self is a broken terrified man, but he can accomplish things through his puppet.

You've got Croc, a circus sideshow.

You've got that one masked lady who thinks she's hideous but is actually gorgeous, clearly severe psychological problems and obsession with social pressure from society on beauty.

You've got Clayface, a man who got by on his looks disfigured in an accident and went to desperate measures to get his face back.

You've got Two-Face, a man with a split personality and severe anger problems, who gets severally disfigured by acid.

You really feel for all these bad guys. I believe Batman is at his best when, at the end of the story, when the threats are overcome and the danger has passed, Batman talks the villain down, and they break, and realize how messed up they are. Batman is at his best when he wants to help them. Sadly, they never portray this Batman in the movies very well.

That movie would have flowed and been much better if they cut out that entire Rihanna and alien no go zone sequence. It added nothing to the story. It felt like the casino sequence from last Jedi

Honestly the only way to save it would be to scrap everything and tell a completely different story with different characters in the same setting. I actually kinda liked the Rihanna part, even if it was a distraction from the main story, but the thing is, the main story sucked, so I was like, yeah, whatever. When I saw what the true nature of the big white hat was for, I busted out laughing.

I wanted to like it so much, but I just couldn't. I loved The Fifth Element. Great writing, characters, acting, action, visuals.

Valerian ended up being nothing like it though, except pretty.

I knew I was in for a rough time after the first scene with the two main character, where they basically verbally said what each other's character was like to the audience.

The world was really cool, I gotta say, and the alien designs were all fantastic. The city is a great sci fi setting, and would work great for a series or video game or something, I'd love to explore it. But everything else was just yikes. I mean just compare the main character couples between this movie and its sister film. Korban Dallas and Leeloo against Valerian and Eyebrows. Which couple would you rather hang out with? Who would you rather have a beer with? No contest. You've got super likeable and charismatic versus a couple who seem like they could have been undercover androids. And the audience has a good point of view in the form of Korban Dallas. He's your every day dude who you can relate to. Taxi driver. That's what he is. We all know what a Taxi driver does. So we can empathize with him as all this crazy wacky stuff is happening to him. He responds in a believable, human fashion to everything, and we're right there with him. What the fuck are Valerian and Eyebrows? They're annoying, that's what they are.

The story was a mess too. It's one of those movies where you kinda have no idea what's happening or why anything is happening, up until the end where everything is laid out (with hyper quick flashbacks to plot points and all). So like, for the bulk of the movie, there really is no hook or anything, no mystery, no intrigue, no setup. It's just characters jumping from one set piece to another and you're wondering why. One interesting character appears and dies within 15 minutes or so and the death scene is filmed as if it's supposed to be super emotional and impactful, all drawn out, but you literally just knew this person for a couple minutes!

It's a shame because I really really wanted to like this movie. It had a ton of good will from me. But man, what were they thinking.
