Newsom is an embarrassing POS, and I would still vote for him because I'm not naive enough to think it would be the same as us having Republicans again.

For trans and homeless people...and honestly also tons of immigrants, it would be just about the same. Newsom has fully agreed with a bunch of nazis about their transphobic points, and has shown it himself. He also himself, with a smile, went around neighborhoods junking tents. And absolutely would be behind ICE...probably would juat ban them having masks.

Holy crap! The thread that keeps on giving.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/man-sam-raimis-spiderman-2-aged-like-the-finest-of-wines.1407589/page-4

People only talk about the Raimi movies because they're the ones they saw when they were 10-15 years old. They're not that great on their own, mainly because Maguire is a mediocre actor and he and Dunst have negative screen chemistry. But they have jammed themselves into millenials' skulls by childhood association and they'll never leave.

Of course it's not this

If you really think that kids who grew up in the past decade have the same personal association with the Raimi movies that people our age do, I don't know what to tell you. People look more fondly at the shit they experienced when they were kids and didn't know better/didn't have meaningful points of comparison.

This is also why the SW prequels are having a major resurgence in the modern era - because people who grew up with them as "their" Star Wars movies are getting old enough to be nostalgic for them.

whatever helps you feel better. you have several in this very thread throwing a wrench in that theory

The point is that nostalgia is a revolving door and people need to make their peace with the fact that the stuff they grew up with won't be relevant forever, and that stuff they might not be as big on will be another generation's nostalgia-bait.

Way to completely ignore the critical reception to these movies when they came out. People have always singed high praise for these movies and twenty years later many inside and outside the industry still do, so these "it's only nostalgia" arguments are kinda silly

Mods couldn't give me a what I thought was a satisfactory reason for the ban. Came across as, "someone please think of these poor AI using companies". Fuck that.


I asked why mine specifically was banned when I linked to at least 3 or 4 posts before mine talking about bullying and they said they "just didn't see it".


Anyway, I won't be buying Larian's next game.

Warms my heart how many people suddenly miss the EU or at least acknowledge that the wise choice would have been adapting the best stuff and filtering the bad ideas.

this is the problem with basically all modern media: everyone wants to tell THEIR story at the expense of the existing story/characters/fanbase

Witcher, Velma, He-Man, a lot of the latter MCU

by contrast? the sonic movies are shitty kid stuff, but they straight up adapted SA2 for the third film and it worked really well, by sticking to those already-good-enough story beats

That's pretty hot and much closer to the original design than I expected. I'm interested now.

Dude didn't even say "She's pretty hot", which could barely be seen "boys club behaviour" (at least to regular people).

"That's pretty hot" is about as offensive as "that's pretty cool". Not even actual sex-negative prudes are this prudish about language.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

"I've spent a lot of time around climbers" LMAO… what does that even mean?

Do you climb? Have you even gone bouldering? Or do you just hang out near climbers?

If trans era has taught me anything, you don't even need to have ever encountered a climber to declare yourself a climber. Probably better than actual climbers.

I mean, going to a total different direction can work, I seen this in comics, tv show and games.

The thing is that more often than not you should at least respect what it came before, at least if there is a preexisting fanbase.

Using Sonic again as example: those films also took a lot of liberties  (specially the first two) including Sonic having part of his personality altered but is clear they took their time to adapt this stuff. Maybe the basic beats are still the same (blue fast hedgehog vs comical evil genius)but they feel sincere compared over other other franchises repeating story beats in almost cynical way (while not offering any sort of complexity in exchange).

I’m  going to be blunt and say that many of these producers and screenwriters are not as talented as they think they are. It would be nice if Hollywood allowed to have more original stuff, but I suspect a lot of those stories will still be trite.

It’s been well known for a long time that producers value someone who can deliver a screenplay more than the quality of the stories themselves.
