Twitter was doing okay before this. The problem is that venture capitalist tech bro weirdos are always like, "If this thing isn't growing forever then it has failed!" With a bit of adjustment Twitter could have been fine by any meaningful assessment, especially by recognising that it wasn'...

I get what you're saying but I don't agree. If I'm watching a 'Batman Thing' whatever that may be, I would want Kevin Conroy as Batman. Whether it's the Arkham games, the animated movies, the series, whatever. He did a better job with the character. Does it matter if he never wore the suit? No. Con...

Even though animation, I think Conroy was the best Batman. I think it is impossible to compare a role in which someone voiced to those who embodied it. However, I believe Conroy would have been a good choice for Batman in the 1980s. He was muscular, tall, and handsome in a slightly unusual way. Tes...

Dogfish

This is really sad. He was the best Batman by such a long way. His voice was perfect, none of this gravelly threatening nonsense, always in control, always clear, and he had that weight to it, he understood that Batman was about carrying pain, but still doing what he had to. Was brilliant to have hi...

I suspect the usual suspects won't like it and everybody else will, same as usual.

Dogfish

I've been quiet lately because I may have accidentally blown up my PC. Ahem. But it'll be back soon.

Not sure I'll be going for this game though, I'm a bit put off by the weapons. Does Batgirl always have to use that tonfa/club thing?

It gets worse. Cartoon Network Studios is gone. https://www.cartoonbrew.com/studios/wbd-merge-cartoon-network-studios-warner-bros-animation-222123.html Over the last decade, CNS produced shows such as Uncle Grandpa, Steven Universe, Clarence, Over the Garden Wall, We Bare Bears, Craig of the Creek, ...

Another week and Warner's death spiral deepening. https://deadline.com/2022/10/warner-bros-tv-layoffs-studio-cuts-26-of-workforce-1235141732/ Warner Bros Television is cutting more than a quarter of its workforce as part of its parent company’s drive to cut costs. The studio is cutting 26% of person...

Dogfish

The latest Rings of Power episode was interesting and moved the needle forward in fascinating ways, especially on The Stranger's story with the Harfoots. (And who are those eldritch Sauron-followers chasing him? They're cool as hell and really frightening.) It might have felt like "filler"...

Dogfish

The problem I have with the whole incel baddies thing is I just can't take the idea that people who live in the MCU version of Earth have time for that shit. Life there is weird, and a constant rolling series of near world-ending catastrophes. I get for the shows to be relevant they sort of have rel...

Dogfish

Holy crap they had a good episode. And one left until the finale. Still though, an episode was good.

Dogfish

Apologies, but I just could not resist, after seeing this topic brought up in a Dave Cullen video. A billion dollar TV show creates a crowd shot by copy-pasting a small group of actors three or four times each. Immediately discernible - just use your Where's Waldo skills. It doesn't take One Ring t...

Dogfish

Suppose it makes more sense for Atlanteans to be Aztecs than Greeks, given they'd have a lot more ocean to disappear into. All feels a bit Aquaman-y though, which I suppose is inevitable. Wonder if the plot will be like the last one, dudes with legitimate beef show up, have ludicrous plan, get squas...

Dogfish

Bit of a 'when are they getting to the fireworks factory' vibe about this episode, but some nice character work and tension building. Given that literally everybody except Andor and Mon Mothma could die in this series there's quite a lot of tension to play with. Plus it's 12 episodes so they can pla...

Dogfish

Oh no. Not appropriation! Afrofuturism vs fishy lads looks like a hoot I suppose. I presume they're just going to slap each other around then be friends at the end. Expectations pretty low though because it's a background movie, not a main event. And frankly the quality has been dipping. Endgame had...

Dogfish

Rogue One reminds me of that Half Life add on where you played the security guard from the original version just from his point of view. I can definitely see that. My favourite part of it is the imperial careerist bickering. The fawning and the attempts to gain favour. All ending in disaster even a...

Dogfish

I just can't be bothered to care about Andor? :/ even with the mostly positive reception I find myself with no drive whatsoever to watch it. For starters. I really don't like Rogue One, thought it was pretty basic, not really a good star wars movie, not really a good war movie with lackluster chara...

Dogfish

I'm talking about the dialogue, there's a lot of great stuff in there but I don't think the dialogue is necessarily it. And even the bits that are great are heavily diluted by the musical numbers, which it turns out don't work so well in book form. Not all of them are as good as each other - Tom Bo...

Dogfish

It's just that this adaptation of the Tolkien books, done by Amazon in the production of Rings of Power, looks like a comedy with a poor quality of dialogue, the only plus of this series is the visual setting of the set design, and Galadier is such a muted person who thinks that she deserves everyt...

Dogfish

This whole "This is bad! This is so bad! Grr!" attitude has one of those fucked up culture war deals doesn't it, has to be. There wasn't a fraction of this venom directed at the Hobbit movies, and they were based on an existing story, not created fresh, and they were pretty bad if we're be...

Dogfish

Yeah that's the guy. I don't think he goes up in the world after this. He might go sideways into the empire if the intel droogs try to make use of him, but the thing is, he wasn't competent. He ignored wiser heads and got men killed and ships lost. Vader force chokes five guys like him a day. I thin...

Dogfish

I really like the look and feel of the show. The worlds look rich and full of detail and populated by interesting characters. The acting all round has been solid and the effects unobtrusively good. The plotline though - I feel like the true direction of Cass hasn't emerged yet and I wonder how its ...

Dogfish

P.S. - Also 4 episodes in and I can say Rings of Power is actually GOOD...... so the crybaby bitching about it is more moot than ever. Wait until you get six episodes in. I wondered what the better part of a billion dollars spent on a TV show would look like, now I know. And it's fucking amazing. A...

Dogfish

Wow. That last episode was epic as fuck.

Dogfish

Bumping this thread on the off chance anybody has cast an eye over the show yet. Episode four was also good. So far it is showing its huge Rogue One energy. We're getting a look behind the curtain at the bickering Imperials and the misery people endure under their control, however distant it may see...

Dogfish

I still watch it, doesn't seem to be going anywhere but it makes a nice buffer between Archer and Lower Decks on a Thursday morning. Also, and here's the dirty little secret, Tim Roth and Benedict Wong are watchable. I can suffer the rest of this for them. Also it feels wrong to dump a show this sea...

Dogfish

Given the second Deadpool wasn't very good I'm waiting to be impressed rather than hyped for it.

Dogfish

New Star Wars thing derived from the Only Good Modern Star Wars thing, namely Rogue One. First three episodes were released in a big clump, and it made sense to do it that way, all felt like a little origin movie. Lot of cool stuff in there, especially the look at the industrial and corporate sides ...

Dogfish

Weird to think there's only three episodes left, kind of figured this was going to be a one and done, but there's definitely a lot more to cover so there might have to be a lot more. I've really only just now started looking into what the story essentially needs to cover, and the second age is big.

Dogfish

I guess we're going to find out what the beef is with Numenor. Seems to be a contentious issue within the kingdom itself and I suspect it was news to Galadriel too. And yeah, taking the jerbs is dumb, but it's always a dumb issue that is going to come up for a mob like that. Nobody whipped up a raci...

Dogfish

I didn't mind it but I can see why folks might think it was a bit on the nose. The arguments the guy was making were incredibly stupid, but then appeals to bigotry and xenophobia are inherently stupid. The stupids are the target audience, they don't want you to bring a Powerpoint presentation with a...

Dogfish

Wasn't aware there was a controversy. Although to be fair the only news I've been able to get for the last week has been QUEEN DEAD BE SAD PEASANT.

Dogfish

I'm enjoying how it is allowing itself to have good characters. Like, there are folks in this show who are good people, and there's no shade of grey to them, they're not waiting for a chance to do a heel turn and kill everybody, they're just good folks with various plans that'll probably go very wro...

Dogfish

The problem is that she's never been given space to earn the status she has in Endgame. In Endgame she's one of the most awesome characters in the whole thing and she's barely in it. She almost steals the movie. The whole bit where the starship starts firing and nobody knows what they are firing at ...

Dogfish

cheer up guys. :) https://i.redd.it/iaruqbkr01m91.png See I must be insane but I really like the return to Tolkien's vision of Galadriel as a warrior queen. He envisioned her as the mightiest of all the elves, describing her as like an Amazon. Key part there is not, "She's pretty handy with a ...

Dogfish

Got to be honest, saw a post on here a month after the news broke and hoped they'd double checked the test results and he was actually alive and well.

Dogfish

I've heard so many bad things that I'm thinking I might skip it just so I don't have my appreciation for anything ruined.

Dogfish

I saw some clips of it and it had Victorian era weirdos in it. So now I know even less about it than before I read this post.

Looks vaguely interesting though.

Dogfish

I watched the first episode. Thought it was brilliant. I could almost feel how impatient people would be seething as it plodded along. That's how you know the writers understood the source material. Tolkien's work moves slow. This moves slow. Also I love this version of Galadriel and Elrond. I don't...

Dogfish

Yeah but there's a real problem with racist fantasy fans who can believe a dragon but who become enraged at the sight of a black person with a sword. Best to ignore them.

Mob review scores are literally worthless and should never have been encouraged.

Dogfish

People need to be annoyed by things, like, it's their job. So something is always going to make them angry based on a weekly deadline schedule. And nobody who matters needs to give a fuck because those people have no value. Could easily be said about the woke. Always annoyed, always being angry. Al...

Dogfish

It's interesting that She-Hulk has always been social commentary, and the incel outrage against women in media is an issue that needs to be commented on, and She-Hulk is exactly the sort of vehicle that will provoke further incel outrage. I still think it needs to be funnier though. Feels like we're...

https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/harley-quinn-renewed-season-4-hbo-max-1235355170/ Renewal for season 4, so at least some good news. King Shark got a subplot in episode 7, but it wasn't that great. The Joker being a family man really could be there to upset Harley. Up until the end of season 1 wher...

Dogfish

I did like the bit with Batgirl and Mad Hatter where Harley leaves and you see them all creep out on Batgirl. Harley then killing him just to make a point was cool too. Important to maintain that she will still straight up murder people more or less on a whim. Batgirl trying to be her friend is fun...

Dogfish

It's about supervillains and the bat family. Nobody there except Alfred is going to be functional. Past that though, yeah it's not been a great season. I'm resigned to it being cancelled because of the takeover but hopefully it goes out on a high. Highlights of the season thus far though are Nora Fr...

Dogfish

Nobody learns history from statues. It'd be like learning literature from looking at books on a shelf.

But yeah, She-Hulk. Wonder when the show is going to start, y'know, doing stuff.

Dogfish

I am watching the hell out of Harley Quinn season 3. They've already shitcanned a Batman project from the guy behind the 90s animated series (which I maintain is probably the best Batman thing ever and which probably would have been a 'can't miss' kind of show) so Harley's probably fucked as far as ...

Dogfish

Yeah it seems utterly insane that the system, while working as intended, rewards destruction of assets with a tax break. How is that productive? How is that capitalism?
