I liked the Telltale Joker, or at least the version I got and the ending where ]Bruce visits him in Arkham to keep him company.

To be fair responding to winning the lottery by finishing schooling is and getting a job is way better than most people. And I'm gonna assume/hope he uses the lottery money so he can live comfortably doing a low risk welding job as opposed to working in the gas fields or on a rig which is the jobs that super murder you. I'm reasonably sure the people doing lower pay jobs for tradies and repair shops in towns/cities/suburbs aren't in that much danger.

I always get weirded out by the impulse to disparage the work of artists who are also monstrous pieces of poo poo. Cause it carries the unsaid that if you liked their work you'd forgive them. Polanski was a fantastic director. It also would 100% be a better world if he'd been home for the Mansons to kill.

HopperUK posted:Galahad was a much later addition also - you see Malory's book try to sort of cover for this by making 'Galahad' Lancelot's original birth name and 'Lancelot' his confirmation name. He didn't get added into the stories until the Vulgate cycle in the 13th century. RUINING EVERYTHING. On the opposite end it's thought that Gawain significantly predates Arthur and is from older legends that got rolled into the knights.

That definitely seems to have been the turning point. I'm not sure if Souls sparked it but it's surprise success was definitely the first clear sign of a sea change. Detective No. 27 posted:They’re not bad games, just good examples of how the AAA game industry’s blandness. They would lead to worse things. Prince of Persia got a forgotten weird semi-reboot/remake of the Sands of Time to coincide with a movie no one remembers. Bioshock gave way to Bioshock Infinite. I'd argue Bioshock 1 always was and remains a bad game.

People then found evidence of all these games media people being insanely racist about Japan.

Who's laughing now? Ben Cousins for what it's worth has also not aged well. Self medicating schizophrenia with meth is a hell of a thing.

While I agree with your post I do feel in this example they undercut their point by making the speech a bit too good. Walt gets moments and lines that are really good that do kinda sell him as being better than he is. Draper also gets this. I can understand how people who don't pay attention or only see clips could see them as cool. Tony Soprano otoh always comes off like a schmuck and an rear end in a top hat as far as I remember. I'm struggling to think of a scene where he doesn't come off a brute and an idiot that he actually speaks in.

mind the walrus posted:That's kind of a shibboleth because it reveals that anyone who got pissy about that wasn't actually reading any X-Men comics published after 1992 or so. Beast has canonically been an rear end in a top hat for decades. All Bendis did was make that characterization explicit in a way that even the dullest fans could understand-- having a character do a comedy scene where they stop the plot to whine specifically about how Beast is an rear end in a top hat. Eh you'd have a big wave of new readers coming in from the 90s cartoon and 2000s movies where he was cool. I don't think it's a disingenuous position.

The main issue with Jack's design is they didn't lean into it hard enough. Like she's way too clean, conventionally pretty, healthy and not hosed up for the traumatised half feral punk look. Should have given her some gnarly injuries from her hosed up life and some off-putting but cool future body modding. At the very least she should have hosed up teeth and skin given her history. So all up she just looks like she's going clubbing. Not like. A fugitive half feral murderer who was subjected to human experimentation as a kid. That all said, I felt her 3 design was great and worked for where she was.
