I can never get behind Coco owing to the fact that it I had enjoyed The Book Of Life from a few years earlier. Yes they are different stories on a fundamental level (romance vs coming-of-age) but the settings were far too similar. I get that the Day of the Dead is likely the most widely...

I have to give credit to the Duffers for recognizing and shifting plans when it becomes clear that a character is working out better than originally intended. As noted above Steve and Erica are great examples of this. In fact the whole 'Scoop Troop' plot thread in Season 3 is my absolute...

That's his actual hair. It's one of his defining traits as a character actor apparently.

Seems very short sighted. There are a bunch of people like myself who had traditionally built a new machine every few years who simply didn't bother the last few years owning to crypto-driven scarcity of parts. At the very least they should go a quarter with items reasonably available at...

Was playing through some content that was either new-ish or stuff I had just not seen on earlier play throughs of the first act. Anywho its buggy as fuck with lots of engine errors and very frequent crashes.... mostly when you try to save. I redid the same section a few times before I just...

The spinoff series "The Boys presents: Varsity" is filming now and we will apparently see it in early 2023 before Season 4 of the main show. Interesting they chose to do the G-men as a college setting vs the 'school for gifted youngsters'

They finished filming most of season 2 before the first episode aired...so I think we can safely say that Season 2 will not be influenced by any public or media reactions to the show. After the Shatner and Chris Pine versions this Kirk is quite a bit different, but he was also a Kirk that had...

The new Black Noir is....Black Noir. The guy who has always been in the suit is playing the new Black Noir, but this time with the ability to talk and will take off the helmet periodically. This is why they chose a different actor for the Payback flashback.

Well they were freaking out in stunned silence until the one dude cheered. I saw it as a purely defensive move on his part born out of fear. Then when everyone else saw Homelander relax his shoulders they all sort of joined in. Could easily take a dark Orwellian view whereby you have a...

It's significant that it's the guvvies that pack Soldier Boy away for safe keeping. They clearly see the benefit of having a 'super soldier' and likely want to exploit the research potential of getting out from under Vought monopoly on V as well as the ability to neutralize supes. Maeve just...

Having voice work done for the insult-based psychic cantrip attack is a nice touch. These later classes feel far more complete than the original bunch, but maybe they have updated the first wave and I've just not noticed. They have clearly taken steps to make the storyline party NPCs less...

That was something of a let down. Though they are going all-in with the cult of personality around Homelander.

People need to stop making live-action Anime/Manga adaptations!

He teleports... it just only takes him and not the clothes he's wearing.

So I tried explaining the comic origin and backstory for Kamala to a person who has only seen this series. In the midst of telling it I realized how ludicrous it sounded and that the whole Djinn / India/Pakistan partition / South Asian culture route was a far better direction.

This is now on GamePass for Xbox. Just the base version comes with GamePass but you can get the DLC as a paid addon if ya want. (The sorcerer is included as a free update, paid DLC is for the Druid/Barbarian update as well as the new Campaign with the added paths)

I think one of the more fun clues is in the Vecna name. As if you were gonna take a lich out without destroying the phylactery.

Yeah that one. With Double Trouble, Focused Discharge, Face Melter, Improved Coolant, Radical Therapy, Turrets with Benefits, Toxic Piercer, Toxic Lead and No Resistance Against the Fortified. The last three synergize to create a ludicrous amount of Toxic damage,. especially with the...

Ive been using a techno build with both tox and turrets using the mod that causes the cryo turret to shoot tox and the armor set that gives a stacking turret bonus.

If you beat the Trial of Tarya Gratar the next time you go in you will see the Catacombs right at the start of the trial. You only get one attempt at it, so make sure you don't die. There must be other secret bits yes?

Seeing reports that it's been renewed for a 4th season already. Apple is very pleased with the overall quality and audience engagement.

This also jives with the news that they were editing episode even after the wire, adding in some 30+ FX shots so late on Thursday that the people who jumped on the episodes as soon as they dropped likely saw slighting different FX in those instances.

Minions: #TheRiseofGru’ is tracking to earn $129.2M in the film’s 4-day domestic box office opening weekend. Soooooo I think its clear that there IS a market for theater-going family fare. Will be interesting to see how many people didn't want to see it vs just decided to wait for Disney+ in...

I wonder if the title will cause problems? Its not terribly catchy. In talking to friends about it I've resorted to just calling it "That Chris Pratt Jack Ryan-like thing"

I appreciate the 'less trick fighting more omg I'm gonna die' style of combat in the fight scenes. Lots of kill-confirm double taps and doing whatever it takes to take the other guy out. Jai Courtney is also underappreciated so it's good to see him get work.

Also binged when they dropped

Interesting that they would acquire an entire studio and shutdown their only game. Is it that hard to find developers who have any skill?

Tuktuk >>> Space Vespas They should have sent a copy of the episode to the Boba Fett team with 'you may find this helpful' sticky note.

It may have shipped. I never got any notification that it had been shipped, it just showed up on my porch yesterday.

That was a decent amount of location shooting they did, and a respectable chase scene!

The comics were just a totally different deal. The first few volumes mainly involved examination of various tropes and parody of existing supes / superhero teams from Marvel and DC. The fun was in seeing just how incredibly fucked up each was. The show has a much MUCH stronger overall narrative.

What's the source for this? Certainly nothing I've ever read and I've seen quite a few stories about what JJ Abrams has said was on each characters minds during the bridge scene in TFA. Why otherwise would Han go into a bridge to chat with rando NuVader?

The NASA ship... my god that thing is small as fuck. We don't really get a good look at the Soviet ship since we only see it launching from the ground, but I have to imagine its no where near as nice as Phoenix with the artificial gravity etc.

As annoying as it is for Allison to be a total piece of shit this season it does make her a lot more interesting that being a total whiny waste of space. Spoiler for summary of characters at end of season [/spoiler]

I have a strong suspicion the Duffer Brothers are fucking with us. Ostensibly the part 1 part 2 split is because they needed to get more SFX done for the final two episodes while also putting them in a position to get Emmy awards in two different years. However while we are currently sitting...

I do enjoy how each of the kids could be supremely powerful if they only applied themselves in the right way. Well everyone except Luther...

Given the timescales, and the boots on Mars shot from the end of season 2, I kinda felt we would have some time-skips. We have had them before, they were just smaller and mostly every episode in season 1 vs a big on here.

You just know they intentionally put a lot of meaningful story beats and powerful character moments into this episode just for the sheer glee at nominating it for an Emmy next year and thus compelling the academy members to watch.
