  • Fallout Season 2 Opens To 100 Percent On Rotten Tomatoes

    Jump

  • I had mixed feelings about the first season. I'm more of a West Coast Fallout Fan then an East Coast Fan, so while I can acknowledge the show is well produced and entertaining, I cant help but be irritated by the direction its taking the franchise. I'm interested but cautious of season 2, especially since its content will now align closer to my favorite game in the series. I'm also doubtful of the long term success of any show from the creators of Westworld. I've been burned before.

  • The scores on these prestige streaming shows are always bullshit. They're usually based off just a handful of critics who saw the first few episodes. These shows are usually front-loaded with quality and then fall apart mid or late in the season, so the scores start great and by the time bad reviews come in most people have moved on.

  • What's a character who was meant to be liked in a show, but who everyone ended up hating?

  • I've grown more fond of Wesley as I've grown older. He's only ever really "annoying" in season one, but the entire show was rough back them. I wish we had gotten more of Wesley post season 4, during TNG's peak years.

  • Janeway is a fine character. Like all the crew on Voyager she is inconsistently written, but she is one of the better characters. Neelix fits the OP best.

  • Shaxs has some great anti-facist quotes!

    BOIMLER: I just asked if you learned how to throw pots on Bajor.

    SHAXS: You think I had time for anything other then resisting? Fighting Fascism is a full time job!

  • Do you think you can become a benevolent dictator without ever getting corrupted or turn evil?

    Jump

  • Benevolent dictator is an oxymoron. The most benevolent thing a dictator can do is dismantle their dictatorship.

  • Megathread: Charlie Kirk Shot at Utah Valley University Event

    Jump

  • There's so many layers of irony to this event. You can't make this shit up.

    A man, who made a career downplaying gun violence and advocating against empathy for its victims, was shot while giving a talk about his favorite topic under a tent that said "Prove me wrong", on a college campus in a state that just lifted its ban on weapons on college campuses. His own quotes can be endlessly used to shut down any outrage at his ironic demise.

    Charlie Kirk's final moments were spent being definitively and completely proven wrong.

    If this wasn't going to used as an excuse to ban Trans people from owning firearms and for further violence against the opposition, it would be hilarious.

  • Yeah I know its straight out of the Fascist playbook, but this is way to conveniently timed and flawlessly executed. Its going to take some pretty compelling evidence for me to be convinced that this wasn't a false flag. I definitely wont trust that its whomever the regime eventually pins it on.

    Charlie was a disposable pawn of right wing moneyed interests, and he will continue to serve those interests in death.

  • I didn't particularly like this explanation

    Jump

  • Honestly I've always hated this. An early example of the awful trend where there has to be a "lore reason" for every little detail.

    Star Trek aliens are mostly humanoids because its a human TV show telling stories that have to be relatable to humans and also has a limited budget. There is no need for a lore explanation.

    At least in this case it's a one off that's never really referenced again.

  • A game you think does DLC incredibly well?

    Jump

  • Are we counting old-school expansions as DLC? If so, then, aside from the infamous Horse Armor, the Elder Scrolls series seriously raised the bar for what to expect from RPG add-ons. Tribunal and Bloodmoon were massive expansions that set the standard early on.

    Knights of the Nine might’ve been a bit weaker, but Shivering Isles is one of the GOAT expansions and is arguably better than the base game.

    Skyrim kept the momentum going with Dawnguard and Dragonborn, both of which added tons of new content.

    The series is straight-up GOATed when it comes to expansions that are actually expansive: new locations packed with quests, items, monsters, spells, etc. They take already huge games and somehow make them even bigger.

  • What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?

    Jump

  • I adore BG3 but yeah. Viconia in particular felt like a big middle finger to fans of the original games. If they wanted to bring back an OG character to be irredeemably evil, Edwin is right there!

  • Who will be the villains in future Hollywood movies?

    Jump

  • This. Expect to see feminist, environmentalist, Communism, and queer coded characters make a big comeback as movie villains. It's the 80s all over again!
