Just have to say that traditional mabo tofu most definitely is not vegan and is made with minced pork or beef. On a related note I think it's super weird that tofu gets treated so badly by avid meat eaters as this hippy dippy meat substitute, while in Asian cuisine it's just an ingredient...

Someone's gotta write the flavor text for your items.

Especially since the new trilogy operates under the idea that was still an extended period of intense fighting between the Empire and Rebellion/New Republic that culminated in the Battle of Jakku.

I think it's a 50/50. For Lucas, I think the newest versions are the most "complete" ones so why release an imperfect version? But then again Disney is the one in charge of Star Wars now and they merchandise their franchises quite a bit, but I don't think they've dealt with a case like Star...

Well the question was what fictional group you would join if you were random, average member of that group, and the Jedi Order is a group, even if it's individuals aren't average when compared to the rest of the galaxy. However, what I think most people are forgetting or even don't know or...

I think all games stand alone plot-wise. Ace Combat Zero is a prequel to 5, fleshing out some of it's backstory but you don't need to have played Zero before 5 or the other way around. I don't think they're very CoD-like story-wise except Assault Horizon because the writing is very barebones...

I personally don't like how dark it's getting, partly because I'm getting annoyed by the fans who think being "dark" is a signifier of quality. I get that they're not under the thumb of Cartoon Network anymore and they want to take advantage of their new freedom but holy hell, there is some...

There's such a thing as a supporting cast. The story is 100% focused on Miles so the other characters don't necessarily have to be developed. I also didn't feel like Gwen was overpowered at all or why you would think she's a Mary Sue when she's not the main character. She comes in and saves them...

I've been thinking lately that our search for alien life is too narrow, like we're looking for radio signals and what not because we assume that intelligence is ultimate goal of an advanced civilization but that's just what happened on our planet. Maybe on some other planet, sharp teeth and big...

Why would it be predatory for an 18 year old to date a 21 year old (I'm assuming the order of the ages matters)? Is the 18 year old only dating the 21 year old so the latter can buy alcohol for the former, in which case, yeah that's a little use-y.

While a rival is an established part of shonen formula nowadays I don't think it's absolutely essential. Ichigo in Bleach doesn't have one, nor Yuusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho. For as big a part of the series that he has become, Vegeta is a later addition to the series and Dragonball was getting on...

The current overuse of the word is absolutely abysmal. People use it to refer to anything just wasn't in the movie period. I saw an article for Solo's "biggest plot hole" which ended up being just the writer wondering what Qi'ra was doing during the time skip. The original concept of a...

I've read Mogworld and Jam, and they're both enjoyable reads. I didn't even know he wrote two more but I'm assuming they came out during THE DARK TIMES so I guess I'll have to check those out now.

I HATE how big wigs feel the need to step in and intervene with these little irrelevant plot details, a la J.K. Rowling. Sometimes ambiguity in the text is a GOOD THING. They have no qualms about marketing characters and merchandise for an organization aesthetically based on Nazi Germany to...

I was gonna pop in to say that it'll probably look ... not great since Chinese animation is quite a ways behind Korea and Japan. A lot of the works you see on Chinese television still kind of look like they were done in Flash, and lo and behold those previews did not disappoint.
