    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    Except Luke spent the entire series getting his shit pushed in. Here, let's go point-by-point. Luke nearly gets his head stove in by the Sand People, in his first appearance. Obi-Wan saves him. Rey had no trouble defeating angry aliens on Jaaku with her staff. More, she doesn't need rescuing...

    Zero Punctuation: Ni No Kuni 2

    He's absolutely not kidding about the President of the United States part. I thought it was a joke, but no, it's an actual thing. It's such an absolutely bizarre choice, but an awesome one.

    Hellblade Senua's Sacrfice critique - spoilers abound.

    Sena's hallucinations outright state that her quest is a lie. Before 'Hela' stabs Sena, Sena basically comes to the epiphany that she's deluded i.e. there's no point to her quest. Remember the voice of her father, asking her "What if the Darkness doesn't actually exist? What then?" Also note...

    Hellblade Senua's Sacrfice critique - spoilers abound.

    This game was stunningly, amazingly pointless. I've played through the whole thing, and it's amazing how thoroughly the conclusion to the story basically makes you throw your hands up and go "What was the point of all that?" Senuca is explicitly NOT in the Underworld. The entire...

    Hellblad: Senua's Sacrifice

    Oh my God, this was not a good game. It was really, REALLY not a good game at all. It's not like Dark Souls, not remotely. At most, it's like Amnesia with very, very rudimentary sword-fighting thrown in: there's a very small variety of enemies, and they don't really attack you in interesting...

    So that whole "female main characters don't sell" bullshit

    For what's it worth, I bought Nier Automata mostly because I wanted to put my penis into 2B, and you can destroy her skirt with the self-destruct module. Horizon: Zero Dawn? Stronk womyn protagonist who don't need no man? No way in hell I'm buying that. If I'm not buying a game for...

    Dissing Mass Effect Andromeda because it has diversity and equality

    I can't believe how incredibly ugly the game looks. I mean, it's not difficult to overlook graphics - normally - but this is a big-budget release. In fact, this is probably the AAA big-spender of the year. And yet somehow, it looks worse than the original trilogy. The entire cast looks like...

    #DumpStarWars The new hashtag boycott

    Well, yeah. I was sort of thinking of a right-wing alternative to Star Wars. I'll be frank: It was the bleakness of the 40K setting that I like. I'm actually glad that all the 'silliness' has been excised from the setting, and there's significantly more dignity and gravitas to it. The horror of...

    #DumpStarWars The new hashtag boycott

    I wasn't planning to watch this anyway - Just give it a few months, and it'll be out on Bluray and on the web. To be honest, I don't like the progressive message Disney is pushing. I don't like Finn, I don't like Rey and I think the Force Awakens was subpar. The only really interesting new...

    Donald Trump's Captain America?

    Yes, exactly! That is what ALWAYS happens. Spidey's still on the hook for the Superior Spider-man. Also, the Red Skull and Hydra are up and running around now, aren't they? Almost as if Captain America was...softballing them.

    Donald Trump's Captain America?

    Sure, but this isn't like the time Spiderman got possessed by Doctor Octopus and became a douchebag. (Which really, just shows that Marvel civilians are apathetic idiots.) This is a national icon. It's someone you could - without question - trust. The one other time Steve acted really weird...

    Donald Trump's Captain America?

    I'm saying they're going to have to replace Steve Rogers. After all, they already turned him into a Nazi, didn't they? I'm saying that this guy: ...is currently the embodiment of American values. Yeah, it's not an alternate universe, and not a shoop. This is what's happening now.

    Donald Trump's Captain America?

    Technically, the Comedian is supposed to be Peacemaker, the same way Nite Owl II is the Blue Beetle and Dr. Manhattan is Captain Atom. (Rorschach is The Question, while Silk Specter is Black Canary/Nightshade.) The Comedian was a DC property. But if he resembled any Marvel character, he was...

    Donald Trump's Captain America?

    A thought from another thread: Comics, in one way or another, have always reflecting the zeitgeist of the era. And this is especially pronounced when it comes to Captain America/Steve Rogers as an icon. To illustrate, I refer to Cap in the 70s where anti-authoritarianism was a thing, and...

    Riri Williams as Ironheart: My thoughts

    I think the porn actress in the Iron Heart JAV was more attractive than Riri (Which, by the way, is slang for 'retard' - Look it up) and a lot more nuanced in behavior. She also had a better costume. Doctor Doom makes for a better Iron Man. Now that Trump's president, I wonder if all the...
