Fair enough, I guess. My perception is a little different but I have my own biases too.

Buuuuut do you not see the disingenuity if you only spark up these observations if the point disagrees with you? There's plenty of people making assumptions with no research, why single out the only guy who did some?

Oh come on now, cherry picking? You're better than that.

Would you do me a favour and just read this thread, maybe work out the ratio of supporters and detractors? Can you see why this might be indicative of how Nintendo views their consumerbase? You get like one supporter for every five detractors. You're really not the minority here, though I...

Not to put too finer point on this, but the Switch sold quite impressively well and all the way up to the build-up the most common responses I saw were from the ever-present Nintendo-Hate Train and general ambivalence of 'I'll pick it up later'. Soooooo I can kind of see why, assuming Nintendo's...

Yes. This one is deconstruction. It's breaking down the positive facets of Captain America and portraying them in a negative light by having him stand for something different, in this case Hydra. Patriotism, heroism and standing up for your beliefs, he's still doing that. Just that those beliefs...

POWERMAN AND IRON FIST! Cannot recommend enough, it just finished but damn was it a good story about heroes on the street. That and Champions are imo, best things Marvel have right now.

Alright so... I have a slight advantage here since I've actually read the comics. I'm 90% sure the "analogy" bit is about revisionism and Cap AS a symbol. Everyone here seems to focus on Steve being Hydra/a Nazi but I think its more about how different political groups will hold him up to...

While you're at it, any opinions on Salo? One of the only films I had to snap in half to avoid ever feeling compelled to finish it.

OP, You should probably see what one is like first, or just like get a real hard look at the grief people go through. I went to a funeral for a kid my girlfriend knew growing up who drowned and while there was harrowing shit to deal with (from a detached view since I never met them) you could...

I dig it. Its pretty alright, New Hope rehashes and non-sensical Super Weapon display aside. I'm even cool with Rey. She got the mind trick fast but we also have no context for how hard that is to learn so like... idk. Not like she curbstomped Ren either. Its pretty good. Valid flaws ofc...

Well, couple other details: -They need sentient humanoids to reproduce too -The living beings they consume need to be sapient, as in intelligent. -They also enslave said sapients like farming. -And my personal favourite, sometimes remove the brains and leave them alive in a pool full of...

I think its what hes given to work with - Moffat really did not make best use of the actor OR character imo. There are moments but thats it :-/

Well... they need psychic energy to survive and they gain that by consuming brains yet, dont use these leftovers to provide bodies for their tadpoles so I would guess not. A couple turned into Lichs though so one would imagine that gets around needing to eat brains (just need to sacrifice souls...

Well, given how their empire rise and fell so quickly and with so little foreshadowing that ABOLETHS find it creepy, your Paladin would be justified in thinking its mass murder not genocide and avenges their victims. Plus, every single illithid has snuffed out another creatures life to use its...
