I've skipped every generation of Nintendo console since the GameCube. I like Mario and Zelda, but the first party games and JRPGs aren't enough to sell me on a $300-$350 console. The whole "it's a handheld and a console!" thing always struck me as a gimmick to mask that it's running such weak hardware. I honestly dont want a handheld and, if I did, the Switch is bigger than I would choose.
I can't see the next iteration of basically the same thing interesting me either.
Isn't this in the same vein as Batman Inc, where all these different countries had their version of Batman?
Spider-Man is Marvel's flagship character, IDK why they want to dilute him with 1000 knock-offs.
The Andrew Garfield Spider-Man was an interesting take. He turned into kind of a dick immediately after he realized he had powers. He absolutely goaded Flash into that fight and was clearly enjoying fucking with him. I honestly think as humans that's probably how we all would react after being bullied and suddenly turning into basically a god.
The way Uncle Ben died in the Toby Maguire film was an accident/coincidence, but in the Andrew Garfield film it was more to him neglecting his responsibilities to screw around with his new powers. It took that sobering moment to bring him back to reality
I'm not familiar with any pre Spider-Man stunt career. That must be a retcon added after I stopped reading in early 1990s. u/ernsithe posted the panel from Amazing Fantasy #15 where he invents them, using "liquid cement" with little explanation or fanfare:
So, they laughed at me for being a bookworm, eh? Well, only a science major could have created a device like this.
It made sense for them to take them out of the Raimi movie, as it would have added extra complication when they could just make it a part of his power set granted from the spider. It made equal sense to put it back in the Andrew Garfield film, as he stole most of the work from the lab with the spiders genetically modified to improve the strength of their webs. There was a much stronger science focus in that film.
it isn't canon for anybody but extreme purists.
Spider-Man was published for 40 years before the added the organic web shooters to align the comic with the movie. No one who read the comic prior to 2002 would have seen them.
Yes. Part of the Peter Parker character was that he was a brilliant scientist and created the web shooters to complement the powers he got from the spider bite. Him running out of web fluid from time to time was a plot point in the older comics.
It's not limited to the Air Force. Did you see the US Army commercial with a corporal talking about her lesbian moms and going to college at Berkeley protesting for social justice?
The US is no better. Only the crucible of a battle for a country's very existence will burn away this diversity nonsense.
So they're saying that underneath the concept of "Love Wins" is Nazism?
I have never heard of this game before this week, but have now seen four straight days with posts about it. What gives?
This. Just about the only way they will lose their monopoly on online video hosting is to make the whole thing so fucking annoying and intolerable that people can't be bothered to go there anymore. They're fucking trying, aren't they?
No one is going to watch this. They must know this by now. They're just doing this to fuck with us.
Yeah, there are few games that are not backwards compatible with the XBox One. Until most/all games are Series S/X only, they're running last gen stuff, just with a faster console.
Those poor fuckers in WA, the only state that's blue no matter what.
I'll look into it. No sarcasm intended. I just assumed that all these science vessels with submersibles bought them from one or two companies that specialized in their construction.
I definitely wouldn't board some asshole's homemade sub and descend to the depths the Titanic is at.
Totally agree on the ZIP code thing. Your gun rights shouldn't depend on which party rules your state.
Oh, that's not what Mr. Brownstein meant, was it? I bet he's perfectly happy to strip you of your Second Amendment protections but goes nuclear if you suggest shutting down drag queen story hour.
I haven't seen anything on the craft itself. Are you saying it wasn't manufactured by a submersible company that sells these things as its primary business?
Can't have "distracting" headlines that cast aspersions on our ice cream loving leader, can we comrade?
Totally agree about government legitimacy. The only thing seperating us from Russia or Venezuela are the trappings of due process and justice. It's all just a veneer that deceives normies into thinking the system works and is fair.
Look at Jan 6. It was a riot with minor trespassing and property damage. No one brought weapons and there was no coordinated plan to overthrow the government. If there was, all those congressmen would be dead, as they clearly weren't prepared for what happened.
But "OMFG, they breached the capital!" so we're seeing multi-year investigations into what should be misdemeanor charges and congressional hearings. It's revenge because it was Trump supporters that did it.
Has even a single person gone to jail for seizing several city blocks in Seattle, barricading them, and handing out weapons? Oh, that's right BLM/social justice/blah, blah, blah. They get a pass.
They completely ignored the influence peddling aspects of his crimes. This was mostly about giving him a token conviction for crimes that can never be connected to his dad. They absolutely don't want to dig into shit that would prove the old idiot took bribes.
I wouldn't say they fell for it. More like it was a calculated move to curry favor among blacks. Look to see a made-up Hispanic holiday in the future when the Dems need to kiss ass to the Mexicans.
I think switching M to a woman was more excusable because at the time gender and race swaps were still a novelty. It doesn't hurt the Judi Dench is an excellent actress as well.
We're now so saturated with girl power messaging and racial politics that it would be a surprise if the next Bond movie didn't portray all of MI6 as women and minorities.
I think he also had a rough cut screening with Spielberg and several other directors that proposed significant changes.
That's why we have those unused scenes with Biggs on tatooine and Jabba that cropped up in the special edition. Luke also had a whole gang of friends that got cut at their suggestion.
the movie has a weird ass vibe.
This. There's no one thing that sank Crystal Skull. The basic premise and setting were solid, Commies replacing Nazis and aliens replacing religion totally fits with the 1950's.
LeBouf was a poor casting choice, and the action bordered on slapstick at times.
I think it also suffered from not really having a moral element like the first three. Mola Ram and the Nazis ultimately failed because were evil- the Ark, Grail, and Sankara stones took them out.
I think the aliens killed the psychic Russian chick because she absorbed too much knowledge, but the ending wasn't really clear.
In case you forget she's a lesbian, they've thoughtfully included rainbow clothing so you know she's on the fag team.
And "latest Spider-Man?". There's only one spider-man, Peter Parker. All the others are just trash created by a failing company attempting to revitalize sales.
