Seriously. While politically I aligned with him most of the time when it came to movies it was always hit or miss. I love the first two Expendables movies and Man of Steel. He does not. So yeah when he took pot shots at Man of Steel I was a little angry but after a certain point I realized why and it was because of earlier videos he had done. He's totally pissed off about everything being dark, grim, and gritty and was hoping that the comic book films were finally getting away from that with Iron Man. When they didn't in Man of Steel it saddened/angered him and it doesn't help that it really wasn't the best written movie out there.McMarbles said:Well, Jim's gone, and now Bob's gone. Soon, the Escapist will be a perfect little echo chamber where no one will ever have to hear any opinions they're not comfortable with.
The utter lack of introspection and the want to do that is what is really killing the game industry. Jim was the one showing us consumer practices we would have to change if we wanted the AAA side to get better. More often than not Bob was the one telling us at the same time we should be introspective. Without the desire to be introspective or challenge audiences with a piece that requires them to be that we wouldn't have films like Selma or 12 Years a Slave. Gamers as a whole don't listen to understand yet. They listen to fight and because of that we will never have our 2001 or 1984.
