    SWTOR

    No, as you said, combat styles are split between force and tech. So a "jedi" or "sith" character can use any force combat style (From the more wizard ones, to tank ones). Meanwhile, Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, Troopers and Operatives can all use each others advanced classes (IE the tech...

    Newark (Sopranos Prequel) (2020)

    Meh...Not sure if his son has a 'hard' enough set of features to pull this off. Galdofini could look fucking mean when he was angry. This kid looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly. Still looks like it might work. Will watch, Sopranos is still one of my favorites.

    Black Widow (2020)

    What's more this is treated as wrong in the film and a flaw of Tony's. Its not treated as a 'good thing', or normal.

    Loki

    In the sacred timeline Loki is supposed to be captured. The Avengers fucked up, and allowed this Loki to escape--that caused a branch in time that was not allowed. As @Ukerric said--his very existence is a crime. Which is why people were pointing out that there is no real free will in the MCU...

    But they kill the deviants...thus eliminate any exercise or consequence of free will. Its like the long way of eliminating free will.

    Loki

    Yeah, but the difference is those reasons tended to support am ideology that created a homogeneous, nationally unified culture that, while exploited for imperial gain, and maximized productivity--at least could stand united in order to demand concessions from those exploiting it. Now the...

    Loki

    Its actually extremely hard to measure the effect of these things in terms of marketing data. Most of these decisions are made simply due to the culture around the people in charge. And currently most of these places are absolutely dominated by fairly extremely Liberal lobbying groups...

    Loki

    Huh? The Gods literally threatened to kill him if he didn't distract the horse somehow from helping the builder. Loki only meant to distract it by being a mare. The story heavily intimates he was raped while trying to lead the horse away. At no point is there anything about enjoyment in there.

    Cruella (2021)

    Of Mice and Men probably--the foreman talks about how he drowned all but the 3-4 biggest puppies. Yes, this was very common. Even the humane societies of the time would put dozens of dogs in cages and drown them to kill them. For the most part though, this was because most dogs were working...

    Cruella (2021)

    They are lobbying for female empowerment films and correcting Disney's history of "misogyny" and "racism". Artists who are desperate to be noticed, know these lobbying demands are being made--and so tailor ideas to give the executives fresh meat. No one specifically asked for this, but the...

    This is another straw man--I don't think its some grand conspiracy; I don't even disagree with you that its mostly bad (Impotent) management. I don't even think all the people at the top believe in this shit (Some do, not all). I think you have a bad clash of dominant lobbying organizations...

    Cruella (2021)

    Wow, when did they become Disney films? Disney has been buying more properties than I realized! Or did try to expand the topic to make your view work? Disney's focus is very specific, and the themes are very consistent. And they are pretty open about ideological themes being a focus, watch...

    Cruella (2021)

    Okay, why are only female villains having these movies--and why despite being consistently bad ideas, do they continue. And why do disney movies constantly have the same themes (Watch Malef to understand this--who ends up saving the princess in the end? Not the Prince.) I can't wait to hear...

    Cruella (2021)

    No one said SJWs support puppy skinning. You're creating a straw man that doesn't exist. SJWs can't see women as inherently evil. Society had to make them evil. Ergo, female villains will be explained to show how they are really victims. The patriarchy is really at fault! Not the woman who was...

    You haven't been paying attention. Disney began systemically reforming their former female villains years ago. Even skinning puppies doesn't make someone with a vagina (Can't call her a woman until she self identifies) bad.

    I was telling my wife how shocked I was that Dr Strange wasn't in Wandvision. Like, its literally his ballpark with the Scarlet Witch--he's integral to that aspect of the MCU being the Sorcerer Supreme. If that's true that he wasn't included because he was a 'white male'--then yeah, the MCU is...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    The reason why soldier is the best is because the time slow down always works, on everything. And they have a bunch of passives that also always work on everything (Because guns always work on everything). I will take a mediocre ability that works on absolutely every encounter over an OP...

    Shocker, when you have studios who don't give a shit about white washing, then no one gives a shit when they change things. If it were normal and not some grave cultural crime to swap gender and race--no one would give a shit. But people like you have made this into a rule, and so it should be...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewashing_in_film Now link the Wiki showing white characters being swapped. When you can't find it. THEN you'll understand the problem. Have enough respect to hold people to their own rules. There is an entire, billion dollar a year lobbying industry to...

    FF had a ton of problems. You can't shit out a bad game, and think the social stuff will save it. The only thing the social stuff will do is make it so a game that's 90% as good as the single player version, will be able to offer a longer-term hook than a single player game. Its not going to...

    New World

    Well, that's true on social media--I should have said they used to understand better but are now falling into the trap most MMOs are. But there is a reason MOBAs and Survival games, despite being some of the most toxic communities ever, also become some of the fastest growing. People will...

    Doesn't matter if its a little, or a lot. As long as the game is worse, why would you play it? There are so many games. I'm not going to play an inferior one for no reason.

    Yeah, no one wants to spend the time. Forming relationships is hard. I don't want to do it either. But a business shouldn't be concerned with what you want; it should be concerned with what you need. Those aren't the same (Fuck in people, they almost never are). Its listening to the old men...

    If the mini-game aspect is what you got out of my posts, you missed the forest through the trees. The difference in how you approach people when you're forced to interact vs when its automated is night and day (Not only automated, but when those relationships have real consequence because said...

    Yeah, you'll never be able to create a world like you could in 99. You're right, quite a few of the more magical elements are dead and probably dead forever simply due to technology; but there are also quite a few that were killed due to choice, that I think can be brought back. For example; you...

    New World

    There is a huge difference between not giving a shit after interacting, sometimes for prolonged periods, 40+ people and not giving a shit from the get go. The whole point of those interactions is to force you to form a social group in the game--those relationships keep you coming back. It...

    I know you already responded, but @Mist has my thoughts exactly. Valheim is a perfect example of where I hoped the MMO space would be in 20 years (Except in a massively, persistent way with more content), instead of hung up on this terrible theme park model. The only problem with Valheim is its...

    New World

    No, that's the thing--I don't think the genre needs a new Blizzard. I think Blizzard took one of a number of directions for MMOs and it ended up being the worst one given the current market (With the proliferation of small scale online games). Unfortunately, in that small window of...

    New World

    Yeah, I said the same thing earlier, just a page ago. The MMO, as its currently designed in the "WoW" style is literally just a worse version of any number of small-server games, where the mini-games you can join from your 3d city lobby are all categorically worse than stand-alone games. (In...

    I couldn't disagree more. I think cash-shops are a prime example of why the industry is dying. And if the only way forward is to literally do the same shit over--hopefully the industry does die. I can't think of a genre that deserves it more. Also, its pretty disingenuous to say this is all...

    New World

    Yeah, and the whole industry is dying. People were hoping this game would be different. That might have been naive, but its what they were hoping. Its pretty logical they are pissed when Amazon effectively said 'no, lulz, going to paint by numbers this shit'.
