    Cowboy Bebop

    “Nothing in the story says Ein has to be a Corgi,” a spokesperson for the netflix project explained. “…and honestly, a reboot that precisely mimics the source material is boring. We’ve already seen that story.” When asked about concerns related to fan backlash, Netflix’s spokesperson replied...

    Cowboy Bebop

    Honestly I thought Spike Spiegel would be played by the guy on the far right, Black dude could be good... his head shot at least shows he can look the part. The guy they cast to be Spike and Faye though... ugh. Unless the guy does some serious training he won't have the strong but wiry frame...

    The Twilight Zone

    Twilight Zone ep: The Eye of the Beholder is a good example of the OG series doing twist endings. I mean predictable isn't necessarily bad, but stories are intrinsically less exciting if you know the outcome halfway through.

    Not really, one of the best ways to have secure passwords is to use sentences, with one or two characters or symbols dispersed. Longer passwords make them harder to crack, not random strings.

    The Twilight Zone

    2nd Ep was decent as well - my only problem with these is their twists are all telegraphed. I remember 20,000 feet with Shatner and liking the episode even if I thought it was a bit weird - so are they "redoing" famous eps or do they have their own stories to tell? So far nothing amazing - but...

    The Dragon Prince

    Hmm I don't know - I don't watch too many shows that aren't Hulu/Netflxed, but I haven't personally witnessed "gay" love being distilled down to "I gotta put my dick in that other dude". I guess Modern Family would be the only one I can readily draw from - their gay couple on the show barely...

    The Twilight Zone

    I thought it was okay - I don't think the jokes needed to be funny - that wasn't the point. In fact from the very first successful routine you (the viewer) start to understand that it's not the inherent funniness of the routine that the audience laughs at - it's the material being consumed...

    The Dragon Prince

    I mean ideology aside, it doesn't matter if you believe homosexuality is against nature - the fact is people identify as these LGBTQ things, and they are yearning for representation. Sure, to me and you, every white male can be the lead and every gorgeous blonde can be the romantic interest...

    The Dragon Prince

    Because fortunately or unfortunately, representation through media has been pretty much nonexistant until now. You and your parents probably haven't seen too many gays or trannies or whatever because that isn't your lifestyle. You live a (I'm assuming) hetero life with the accompanying values...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Saw it today - wasn't awful, wasn't exciting - the Kree plot twist would have been twistier if every other Kree we had encountered up to this point wasn't a douchenogginmcbagodicks already. Skrull twist was nice though. Brie wasn't bad IMO - I think she played her persona fine - I didn't think...

    The Magicians

    This is probably one of the best low fantasy TV series on right now. They even get the progressive shit in there without throwing it in your face. So many likeable characters.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Words only matter in context - remember this tidbit from Abraham Lincoln? "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I look forward to a good ending chapter of GoTG:3 - you could tell something was up with the zero headway being made on it - either a rehire after Suicide Squad 2 or never being made. Gunn handled it professionally imo - didn't think it was grounds for him being fired either.

    gen:LOCK

    It was pretty good - pretty open on the ending part - reminded me a lot of Power Rangers, but condensed, and with more inclusive gender and ethnic undertones, which didn't necessarily detract. Fight scenes were decent, but really only seemed impactful when they were mindsharing. The rest of it...

    Critical Role Vox Machina Animated Special

    Not exactly sure where to post this, but figure there were enough DnD nerds around these parts, or people who just enjoy a good story that would want to know: $750k was the goal, they're already at $4m one day after the kickstarter launched. Should be cool either way, expected release date...

    The Dragon Prince

    It might have something to do with the butterflies he consumes - he is the only one who has been shown to do considerable Dark Magic, and the repercussions of him doing so (the veiny-dark cracked skin and eyes) seem to dissipate over time? Perhaps the fluttery things have a counterbalance to...

    The Dragon Prince

    We'll probably find out more in S3, but I'm assuming the lack of Dark Mages in the human kingdoms is more due to a lack of access more than anything - most of the magical creatures in the human lands are gone (they reside in Xadia) so being able to actually practice Dark Magic has died off over...

    The Dragon Prince

    This is not SJW - this is just US history. Considering there are only 3 main protagonists that are white (Verin, Callus, Soren) and male, only one of them is a fool (Soren) probably due to poor education - Callus is simply a teenager. Verin is the only established "white dude" in power, and his...

    The Dragon Prince

    What exactly is social justice-y about "smashing the past" ie: not repeating the mistakes of your elders? Seems like that's a standardized theme for most storytelling. The late king is merely pointing out that the things he did in the past to justify where he is today was borne out of power and...

    The Dragon Prince

    Hmm so I liked the character development through S2 - most of it made sense. I would have preferred if a certain maimed someone had remained maimed - Would have been nice to see their character grow a bit. The backstory was good, I'm intrigued for more, and I think the SJW stuff is a little...

    The Orville

    The Episode was good but it lacked another viewpoint to bounce back and forth between. I don't think their relationship needed to be the main focal point of the whole episode - but rather one of a few that the narrative could shift to and from at the proper beat. Not saying it was bad - I...

    The Orville

    Ep 4 was good, glad they're back on track with good storytelling and worldbuilding. The first 2 eps were pretty ho hum, and the 3rd seemed to be tailored to ushering off Alara.

    The D&D thread

    Anyone have advice for a good mobile-friendly app to track character progression? We have a relatively noob group that I DM for (we are running the Mines of Phandelver arc for level 1-5). Something to keep track of spells and leveling would be ideal - DnDBeyond is really awesome but you need to...

    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

    Saw this - as most people have said, this is pretty bad. Queenie's motives throughout the movie don't hold up to scrutiny at all. Most of the main cast (minus Dumble) don't even need to be in the movie. Auror chick did nothing this movie, all the reveals could have been summed up in a 10...

    MTG: Arena

    Got my 2nd 7win draft... I'm getting nostalgia and also wondering how Hearthstone fucked this up so badly. This guy was MVP: Got him in my last pack, so I was already going RB.. splashed U for some card draw and got him every game practically. Tons of graveyard recursion via Gravedigger and...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    MCU Hulk is way toned down from comic Hulk. Hulk being the magic bullet for lesser bad guys (ie: Loki) is just fun, but the Boss at the end of the zone? Nah, can't solo that stuff homebrew. I think Hulk should/would have had a much bigger throw down with him than what they portrayed, but I also...
