    Terrible sequels

    I mostly remember Wonder Woman showing up in a revealing outfit in... I think it was Egypt. Also, a horrible plot where Chris Pine takes over some random stranger and she get intimate with him, which implies some horrible stuff the script writers obviously didn't think about. And yes, Pedro...

    Terrible sequels

    Oh, I had almost forgotten about Wonder Woman 1984.

    Terrible sequels

    But I can! If you thought Starshiptroopers 2 was bad, 3 has an actress whose lines can barely be understood because her English is so bad. It is immediately clear they cast her for only two things... and neither of those things were her acting talent. Honestly, any scene she's in is hilarious...

    Your most pointless TV/movie/book nitpicks

    Oh, if we're nitpicking Game of Thrones, I have a very specific one that really grinds my gears. In the very episode that introduces Melisandre (this was probably episode 1 of season 3), there's a scene where Maester Cressen tries to poison Melisandre. But in a baffling choice, the creators...

    Since we've just had a ton of Christmas movies: In a Muppet Christmas Carol (Which is pretty accurate to the book, more so than most adaptions), during the intro you see a sign on the building where Scrooge works, which reads: "Scrooge & Marley". However, the Muppets made the choice to pass the...

    Videogame nitpick: It always bothers me that during the ending of Final Fantasy 7, when the camera swoops down to the city to focus on the little girl, you can clearly tell the entire backdrop is just a flat silhouette. Since most of the game uses prerendered backgrounds, with a top down...

    In Jurassic Park, when Dennis Nedry steals the embryos from cold storage, it always annoys me that they misspelled Stegosaurus. They also misspelled Tyrannosaurus Rex.

    Your most pointless TV/movie/book nitpicks

    Any time an army in a fantasy movie or medieval movie fires their bows, and they yell "FIRE!". Any time they also conveniently light their arrows, so their opponents can see them more easily in the dark. Any time a fantasy or medieval movie has lit torches on walls everywhere, even during the...

    Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion | New Official Trailer | Disney+

    I had the same thing with Andor. It took 3 episodes to get me invested.

    How I'd fix Star Wars

    What Star Wars needs is: -A few new ideas that don't lean on the original trilogy. -New characters we care about. -Stakes we care about. Andor was a step in the right direction. No lightsabers, no Jedi. Just a mature plot about oppression, with genuin stakes.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you let PC's just *break* objects?

    My players can break anything they want, except the fourth wall. Got to draw the line somewhere.

    Why are films becoming so badly-lit and difficult to see?

    I'll answer this question: To hide flaws in the visual effects.

    What alignment is the poster above your post?

    Neutral Good for sure. Scribe's are tireless and dedicated. They only record history and leave the opinions to the philosophers.

    Caring ABOUT versus caring FOR a character -- Fascinating critique of gaming principles from "The Last of Us"

    Without reading any of the other 4 pages of discussion, I think the article is using the term "ludonarrative dissonance" wrong. What the term means, as I understand it, is a conflict between story and gameplay. So the example of Portal is not a case of LND at all. Instead, for a good example...

    D&D Movie/TV Rate the D&D movie

    I agree, that would be rather interesting. A plot that forces them to have to team up with Forge (reluctantly), and allowing him to redeem himself eventually.

    What are you reading in 2023?

    I just started reading the "Ekho - The Mirrorworld" comics. It is a French fantasy comic, set on an alternative earth, full of humor and parodies of the world as we know it. Beautifully drawn, occasionally sexy, and pretty good story as well. I can't believe I've never heard of it before.
