DStecks posted:I've completely run out of patience for people who think that story is the be-all and end-all of what makes a game good. If I took my phone and recorded a high school drama class's adaptation of Hamlet, and the phone only ever had a view of stage right, and at no point in time was the camera in focus, I would not create a great piece of cinema. I mean when a game itself has a heavy focus on story, as with many JRPGs, it makes sense to focus heavily on story when criticizing it.

I'd heard a lot about Night Mind but I finally tried it last night and holy poo poo his voice is pitch perfect for the material, this sort of radio voice that just isn't quite right. Also it's a really bad idea to watch those videos at night, even though the channel is called Night Mind. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Puppy Time posted:Night Mind is decent as a sort of sumup show, but once the dude gets started on his personal theories it's like "Jeez, man, you're reaching so hard you're gonna snap in half!" I'd say he's pretty convincing with his reads on the Alan Reznick stuff, though I haven't looked into much of his analytical stuff outside of that.

One episode has the guy driving up and the owner of the vehicle running out of the house with a rifle and pointing it directly at the head of the host... and this dramatic music plays and the camera man shakes his camera to add drama to the shot. Well it makes sense to do repo shows, they're guaranteed to be dramatic. The life of a repo man is always intense.

I also don't get why some people think Night Mind's narration sounds weird, I find it kinda relaxing. It's just off enough that it's charming, like a dubbed survival horror game from the early 2000s.

DStecks posted:Superheros are not inherently vigilantes, though. Pre-Frank Miller Batman worked with the full cooperation of the Gotham Police Department. You can have a Batman story where Batman is basically Sherlock Holmes, the guy the cops call in when they can't solve the case, or when there's a supercriminal they just aren't equipped to beat. And if you're still going to call that Objectivist, then you're basically arguing that the very concept of a hero is Objectivist. A superhero working with the government's explicit endorsement is probably more fascist than when it's just implicit endorsement.

Yvonmukluk posted:Personally I don't, because I'm fairly certain that never entered into their brains. And by the way, the idea of the Avengers being a government-formed superteam? That came from Millar's Ultimates series, so I doubt that the writers of Suicide Squad (the comic) were making a critique of a comic that hadn't even been written yet. To be fair, the avengers in the late 70s and early 80s did have a government liason in Henry Peter Gyrich, who acted as an outside constraint in much the same way Waller does(limiting their membership, conscripting The Falcon, threatening to take away their equipment), so it's not that much of a stretch that Ostrander and Yale may have developed their team idea by modifying that dynamic, making hbomb's argument accidentally true. Or perhaps he's talking about the more recent comics written post-Ultimates, he wasn't that clear.

kaleidolia posted:Also, Ghostbusters probably sucked (that trailer was dire), but the idea that there was some conspiracy about it is pretty absurd. You really don't need to make up right-wing dorks hating on women, as Hbomberguy shows pretty well. Then again, they obviously saw the chance to make it not another forgettable 80s franchise update, and seized on the opportunity to market the thing written and originated by men as feminist. Yeah, it's like 9/11, the Bush administration didn't knock down the towers using thermite or whatever, but they certainly capitalized on it to sell a war. Also I still can't believe people actually got worked by the dude from matchbox twenty or whatever playing a William Castle gimmick straight out of the 60s but putting a "method actor" spin on it.

MrSlam posted:IMO It's a problem with the Burton/Schumaker series. Penguin was the Joker, Two-Face was the Joker, Riddler was the Joker, and Poison Ivy and Mr Freeze were theme related Jokers. If you define "being the Joker" as operating in a very camp mode, then sure, but that's so broad that anything moderately theatrical could qualify.

WickedHate posted:Sorry, this is from ages ago, but what? The government thing for the Avengers comes from Mark Miller's Ultimates, from the early 2000s. The Avengers were always independent before that. It's been mentioned already but Henry Gyrich fits the Amanda Waller role and he was introduced in the late 70s, before the original Suicide Squad comics.

WickedHate posted:Sure, he sort of "had control" over the team, but he wasn't their handler or anything. The US didn't own them, they just pressured the Avengers to listening to work with them as the country realistically would(isn't the other argument thrown around that superheroes are all objectivist ubermenschs who don't answer to any authority?). He was a lesion who leveraged the government's interests against the team and he mostly butted heads with them. Even if you equate him to Waller, who's relationship with the team is half antagonistic in similar ways, that's not a "critique" or any kind of response to the concept. He imposed the government's will on them (controlling their access to tech, forcing Falcon onto the team) so it's not unthinkable that that level of government control could have been extrapolated into a more direct influence, the threat of dismemberment, by Ostrander and Yale.
