    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2E Remaster's Death and Dying rules are brutal.

    I am glad they cleared that up. Under the non-errata'd version there would have been plenty of times when the Diehard feat would have been completely useless instead of giving you just a little extra breathing room. There were other oddities too, like how there were situations where you would...

    I have never played Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. But is that game not famous for its story rather than its gameplay?

    I was actually playing Inquisition recently and I was enjoying my second playthrough for quite a bit but the ball kinda killed it for me. Like, I ended up putting it off for weeks, and at the end even though I had high approval and a love interest neither the achievement nor the right scene...

    How do I know if I'm reading a good/up to date history book?

    "High school history class," may not always be the most reliable but I actually remember this bit from an elective then: supposedly the French pushed for the punishing war debt not primarily because of WW1 itself but because that after the 1870 Franco-Prussian War that Germany had extracted...

    Why Kristanna Loken followed that up with two Uwe Boll movies I will never understand.

    How do I know if I'm reading a good/up to date history book?

    The Russians did not sacrifice 25-30 million dead to stop Hitler. The USSR did. According to this: World War II casualties of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia the Russian contribution was ~6.8 million military personnel, and 7.2 million civilians for Russia, and for Ukraine, less than half as...

    Percy Jackson and The Olympians | Official Trailer

    I was aware. I have not read the books, but I did see the movies.

    Percy Jackson and The Olympians | Official Trailer

    I suppose it will be interesting to see how radically different the tone of the series is when Percy Jackson and his compatriots are actually children. Alexandra Daddario was 24 in the first film, while Leah Jeffries is 14.

    Oh, wait, duh, Sydney Sweeney is not Madame Web. Whoops, lol.

    LISA FRANKENSTEIN - Official Teaser Trailer [HD]

    The picked good music for the trailer and it has a bit of a vibe. I am kind of skeptical of what the message of the movie is supposed to be though. Frankenstein going on a gleeful murder spree is quite a divergence from the original story.

    [Netflix] Shadow & Bones

    Might be just as well. The epilogue of season 2 with that attack by the drugged up woman just seemed completely out of sync with the power scale of the rest of the show.

    Are Superhero films dying?

    There were some things in the first season of what What If...? that I absolutely loathed. Hopefully this season each premise will be more consistently good.

    Trailer Madame Web | Official Trailer

    This looks eight times better than Kraven. Sydney Sweeney with dark hair is a bit disorienting but it looks like she is doing a good job.

    Are Superhero films dying?

    I am not sure how well the X-Men actually work as an allegory for discrimination these days. The zeitgeist seems to revolve around power, or the perception of it, and power is precisely one of the reasons mutants were supposed to be feared (though the question of whether that ever really made...

    Are Superhero films dying?

    The question is whether the MCU is basically becoming like the Arrowverse, where later seasons felt like they lost the focus their shows originally had. And as we can see now, despite the popularity and longevity of the Arrowverse, it is done now.

    Are Superhero films dying?

    After watching the trailer for Kraven I am definitely coming over to the point of view that superhero movies are dying. I am ready for some new near-future dystopian overlords.

    KRAVEN THE HUNTER - Official Trailer | Marvel Studios & Sony Pictures - Aaron Taylor Johnson (2023)

    Unbelievably amateurish looking. I did not watch Mobius either, and I think the trailer for that looked better than this.

    Are Superhero films dying?

    I was not trying to make anything immune to criticism. It was just the perceived off-handedness of the remarks, combined with my entirely possibly mistaken view of what the show was doing with some of its characters, that led me to commenting. To bring it back to the present topic though I...
