MGS games are what players say they want. And players complain anyway.

Snake is inspired by Snake Plissken but what does it matter to your enjoyment? MGS's farcical characters and situations counterbalances the heavy real world themes. I would compare them to Dr. Strangelove just as much to 80s action films. The silliness allows players to indulge in their power fantasies without being distracted by the serious issues. Its is the best of both worlds.

Captain Lavender posted:Jessica Jones hosed Luke Cage, I mean that's just one example, but it's not like it's a new frontier. Even this review points out how it was controversial in the 60s. It's happened countless times since then, that it's not even a hot button issue in and of itself. Happened in Dexter - poo poo I dunno, just off the top of my head. I didn't get the impression that that was a barrier that still needed to be crossed to avoid ridicule for being a spineless production.

counterfeitsaint posted:Between Marvel and Star Wars, Disney is making a sizable amount of the money in the film industry right now. That poo poo ain't going anywhere. They have already reconned major things and they will be making it up as they go along. Comics are largely convoluted so I don't know why people care about continuity, as opposed to things like books or remakes. The thing about the Marvel universe is I don't care. I think knowing what will come out years before provides the incentive to lose interest as much as it builds interest.

Plinkett, the internet phenom, commenting on other internet phenom is fair. I think they wanted to nip the prequel apologetics in the bud. Makes sense as they were the epicenter of criticizing the prequels.

Star Wars is cool universe and setting. I'd say its better fantasy than traditional fantasy because it doesn't rigidly define warriors and magic. The Sith are villains but introspective and represent a philosophical difference more than morally black. Heroes and rogues come in many variety. The Force is so vague that it is free from traditional religious baggage and paradoxes. The prequels are steeped in that universe. They are bad films but set in a mythology people enjoy.

Rey should become a half-jedi half space angel and block death star attacks with her lightsaber and get a hoverboard and do oilies off of the Millennium Falcon while chopping troopers in half and be president of the galaxy.

Vegg220 posted:Gbs, 1986: oh so not only is she an expert on aliens she's also better at tactics than military commanders AND can fight in a power loader AND operate a machine gun and flamethrower as good as a marine after 20 seconds of training AND she's a supermom? This is why I'm voting for David Duke Ripley karate chops Dallas before he lets Kane back into the ship then singlehandly pilots the Nostromo back to earth because she saw the captain do it and saves the crews from the alien (also the space army blows up the alien planet too). Kyle Reese is about dive to save Sarah Conner from the Terminator when he is shot by the Terminator. Naturally, Sarah front flips over the Terminator, appears behind them, and crushes his head with between hands because she saw a bouncer do it. Then, she kisses Kyle Reese's sleeping body as she is teleported to the future where her waiting son John Conner (something something close time loop) hands her the shotgun Reese had and she leads him in war against the Machines. temple fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Oct 7, 2016 |

I think Rey is the definition of a Mary Sue. But people like Mary Sues and it offends them when you slur their favorite character. Its like calling someone a racist. Nobody thinks they are racist, that's what those other guys are. If Luke was Rey, he would have force pulled Obi-Wan's light saber and fought Vadar in A New Hope. He would have force suggested the trash compactor to stop. He would have flown a ship himself from Tatooine. Luke blew up the Death Star but it was with the help and deaths of several other people. temple fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Oct 7, 2016 |

wizard on a water slide posted:Like it's ridiculous to compare her beating him to Luke beating Vader, when the entire point of the character is that he's a deluded wuss failing to live up the Badass Sith Lord reputation. Ren was the grandson of Vadar, trained by Vadar's son and Hero of the Republic, and empowered by the Sith. Rey, literally nobody from a desert, probably iliterate and uneducated. Who wins? Why?

Kid goku was a idiot country bumpkin that got whipped up on as much as he won. Adult goku didn't even want to be a hero. The guys that were heroic couldn't fight and because goku would lose initially, it made him more powerful (by virture of being a saiyan).

Jack has said some smart things about games that probably were already said if you cared to follow games. Jack, like most streamer turds, jerks it over one topic and feels like games must live up to that one feature. He did a good job of pointing out how Bloodborne teaches you how to play without ever telling you and allowing different styles (Rich->idiot, Jack->skilled idiot) to succeed.

The original Alien is genius creature design. The only thing that ruined it was the later movies that tried to explain it.

Orkin Mang posted:its based off the inside out human vagina I was referring to how the alien is skeleton cleverly hiding in a space suit, made of mix of biological and mechanical aspects. It combines the horror of the I forget the term but like abhuman aspects of the corpse transfigured by technology.

Zombie movies were always around since NotLD but they weren't as popular as slashers or sci-fi. By the 2000s, the horror nerds that were scared of zombies as kids grew up and could make their own movies. I was going to say more about culture and politics but "nerds grew up" is good enough.

Rey being a mary sue isn't the end of the world. The more people argue against it the more it sounds bad. Just enjoy the movies. If other people don't, get over it.

reignofevil posted:Iirc doesn't Yoda actually lift the ship for him anyway because he isn't good enough/whatever? quote:Days later, while training, Luke becomes distracted when he finds that his X-wing fighter has almost completely submerged into the swamp. Luke declares he will never be able to get the ship out, seeing that it is too big for him to extract from the water. Yoda says it is "no different, only different in your mind." Luke says he'll "try" to lift the ship, but Yoda says "No! Do or do not, there is no try." Luke tries to use the Force, but to no avail. Yoda reminds him that "size matters not" and gives him wisdom about the Force. Luke denies all of this, then Yoda decides to use the Force to lift the ship out himself. Luke is dumbfounded and incredulous. Yoda senses the youngster's failures within his mind.
