    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To be clear, they _could_ release the next expansion this year, but given how all previous releases have had six months of beta, it will be an impressive for even Blizzard level of clusterfuck. I expect they will have a 'last minute' delay but still get it out the door before March 31st, but...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    There are too many reasons why Phase 4 was a dud to list off the top of my head: No clear planning for Phase 4 pre-Endgame, other than 'We'll make some TV shows!' Covid delays and disruptions. Mediocre scripts and directors in Phase 4. Steep drop-off in actor charisma from previous phases...

    The Boys

    But it's being said by a racist, therefore there can't be any validity to it. (Since the show-runners can't argue with facts, they have to tarnish the messenger.)

    The Boys

    Err, is there any indication Homelander knows it is Soldier Boy? Homelander getting hit with a nerf blast is what nearly all shows have to do once the power levels get out of control, but him being relatively powerless was already covered by Stormfront, and pretending to still have his full...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Only had time to watch episode one, but is the entire series just going to be retcons to fill plot holes / current social issues: Obi-Wan saving Leia: "Why is Obi just monitoring Luke between Sith and Hope? Girls are just as important as boys! Muh equality!" Does Leia being adopted ever come up...

    Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

    Real talk, is Mission: Impossible the only current franchise left that there's any guarantee of quality for? (We'll give them a mulligan for M:I 2 given that it was two decades ago.) I would say I haven't been disappointed by any John Wicks so far either, but those two are a short list....

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    Totally missed the 3 there, while I like the concept, unless he's suspended for two years, NFL regular season punishments nearly always take place immediately (at least, I can't think of any exceptions).

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    His new Browns contract pays him virtually nothing this year, by the way, nor has Baker been traded. That said, if Watson avoids serious penalties, the Browns can safely deal Baker elsewhere.

    I could keep going: Alien: Stopped after Aliens. Robocop: I have a soft spot for Robocop 2, but I would also have been fine had this stopped at original Robocop.

    To be clear, hack frauds ruining our (in many cases, no more than glorified toy commercial) past isn't anything new, but the level of anti-nostalgia we've been building up is pretty impressive: Star Trek: Basically dead. Transformers: Michael Bay put this in a grave a decade and a half ago...

    IIRC, the 'accurate' breakdown (given the millennia of retranslations and rewrites) was White - External Invasion Red - Civil War Black - Famine Green - Disease (Kloros in Greek, as in Chlorophyll and Chlorine gas) So not only does Death not ride a pale horse, there isn't even a Death.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Hispanics, by and large, are like most immigrants - morally conservative (at least, to whatever beliefs they had back in the old country), but siding with Democrats for 'wealth sharing' while they get established. The more they get established, the less they're inclined to buy into the rest of...

    Sometimes the NFL shocks me by not overpaying for every QB they can get. (Ironically, they decide not to gamble in Vegas.)

    I guess it's fine, but 1) Legion basically did everything better. 2) A trimmed down ~2hour 20 minute version of this would have been much better in movie form.

    YMS raises a lot of good points (as usual), but he could gave trimmed this down by not spending as much time pointing out 'the youth' are morons on youtube, as well as realizing that pro-forma Oscar ads are basically mandated by actors with recognizable names.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    As someone who thought even the first seasons of DD and JJ started out great but got a little wheel-spinny, what's worth watching, Season 1 of everything (heavily skipping through Iron Fist) then finishing DD and Punisher's later seasons if I'm not burnt out?

    Marc needed Steven to give up control in the bathroom in the first episode as well. Easy enough to say that the more Steven is aware of reality, the harder it is for Marc to take control.

    Thank god, the only thing people hate about Picard is the actors involved - finally we have thespians that can live up to the stellar quality of modern Trek's writing and production! Shouldn't they all be retired or admirals by now? Yeah, Generations could get away with saying 'Most of them...

    Bruce Willis retires

    It is a bummer. The most damning thing about the second RLM video is that Willis showed more charisma in his confused Luke Wilson blooper-that-was-kept-in than in all the Geezer movies combined. We just grew up in a golden age for action movies, and now it's over :\

    Lord of the Rings Online

    That's not quite accurate, Helm's Deep came out like eight and a half years ago, and its level cap of 95 is quite a bit off from the current 140. That said, the game (now with Premium Wallet for everyone!) gives you a mountain of content to go through at no cost. It's also worth noting that...

    I'd like to know how much this was impacted by covid problems, since the final product is really scattershot.

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    Honestly, Seattle kind of needs Carroll to retire and a complete rebuild. The NFC West is a god damn meat grinder of a division, rebuild now and take over when the competition's salary cap gets out of hand. Also, with Wilson and Rodgers off the board, that doesn't leave a lot of QB options...

    I admit I never bought into the myth of Joe Burrow, and thus while I think the Bengals could be in for a long string of playoff potential, I'm just not sold that they are reliably going to top the Chiefs, Bills, Titans, Patriots, Chargers, etc. The Rams got lucky their playoff push worked when...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    On one hand, that looks great, but it also looks like a preposterous amount of storylines they've crammed into this thing, between Mordo, Shuma Gorrath, however many Scarlet Witches, however many Dr Stranges, America Chavez, Prof X, etc., unless most of them are only in one scene.

    Invincible, The Boys, Upload, and (politics aside) Undone and Tales from the Loop. Expanse can't really be considered. That's not a great success rate, but that is a lot of genre shows.
