    Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

    As a comedy, it’s one of the funnier movies I’ve seen in the past few years. Which is my main criteria for the genre. It’s fine if you didn’t like it, but it’s both a critical and financial success.

    Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

    You know what was a good third film in a franchise? Deadpool and Wolverine. See, that’s how you bring a thread back on topic. 😉

    D&D General D&D 2024 does not deserve to succeed

    I think the idea that people need to try other games (although true) is about a year and a half late. It already happened. Everyone I know did try other games during the OGL kerfuffle. My group moved to CoC and then OSE for a couple of adventures of each. The thing is, it only made us appreciate...

    D&D General D&D 2024 does not deserve to succeed

    In the past week on this site I've learnt that playing D&D gives you high cholesterol and watching Marvel movies gives you diabetes. We've gone from Bad-Wrong-Fun to Bad For You-Wrong-Fun.

    Players can always try to upcast the spell using a higher spell slot if they want to get creative.

    Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

    Deadpool and Wolverine is the highest grossing R rated film of all time, so I think they might not be dead just yet.

    Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

    I tend to disagree that Marvel movies are all made to the same formula. We still get Sci-Fi and Shark movies, although the second category hasn't busted any blocks for a while. Add to that two of the biggest films last year were Barbie and Oppenheimer and the lack of variety argument starts to...

    Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

    Blockbusters have been around since Jaws, I think what’s really supercharged things is IMAX, I remember when IMAX started it was all 45 min docos, where as now it’s all films which I think is a huge % of a new movies opening box office. Personally I don’t need a screen that big. There’s...

    Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

    There’s definitely a truth to comedy and romance films lacking on the big screen in recent times. In some ways I think Comic Book movies did play a part in pushing out comedy, I mean take Deadpool and Wolverine, it’s as much a buddy comedy as it is a superhero film. Romance I think is more that...

    Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

    Candy is actually bad for your health, superhero films aren't. Nor has anybody suggesting that only Superhero films be made, I'd be against the idea of that was ever suggested (as it is, Superhero films are still one of the more niche genres). It's much more that Marty is suggesting that they...

    Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

    I've never understood the 'theme park ride' criticism. They're making films that are more fun and exciting than they've ever been. This is the aim of action films, does anyway watch action films for their depth? The closest a film has ever gotten to a theme park ride for me was Infinity War...

    Spoilers Alien: Romulus (Spoilers)

    I was really impressed. Firstly, the film looked great. There was a shot of some control panels and screens inside a ship at the start of the movie that made me feel just based on the production design, that I was in safe hands. The early world building also got me in, showing the mining...

    D&D 5E (2024) Command is the Perfect Encapsulation of Everything I Don't Like About 5.5e

    Thanks to 5E’s philosophy of rulings over rules you can still use command for ideas outside those given in the 2024 book if that’s what your group wish to do.

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    I'm hoping they do a follow up season or two under different titles at some point in the future. Acolyte - Apprentice - Master The show explored a lot of really interesting ideas, it would be a shame of they steered away from that in future.

    D&D 5E (2024) So IS it a new edition?

    That'll show'em. What's that old saying? Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get sick.
