I miss the days when it was cool to just make a good standalone movie and leave it at that. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say it peaked with universal's monster mash I guess the possible recurring revenue this thing can provide is too much of an opportunity to pass.

BigBossBalrog Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 On a plus side; Peter Jackson is going to be heavily involved. I hope he stipulated he'd have full control over his movies so a thing like the Hobbit dosen't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 You know a unique cinematic universe I could get behind? League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Basically the Victorian Avengers. Sadly, no more Sean Connery to lead it, but still, I’d way rather watch that than whatever cape-wearing fruitloop the MCU is carting out this week. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear the movie didn't hold a candle to the original comic (they changed alot). Wasn't horrible, but I pretty much forgot everything about it. I thought it was super weird they got the dude from the Portrait of Doiron Grey to be the main baddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to see more talented writers pick it up and do a better job with it. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chris Avellone is to Fallout what Michael Kirkbride is to TES. Both are responsible for some of the most significant and impressive elements of their respective series lore, but they also both tend to go off the deep end with their wilder ideas and need to be kept in check by more grounded writers. They both wrote a bunch of out-of-game lore that is treated as semi-canon by lots of fans but often gets contradicted by Bethesda. They both are somewhat controversial in real life and no longer work for the companies they developed the series with. Genius and madness are aligned. Though I saw enough of Avellone's accusers to believe that they were Con lizards who just wanted their 15 minutes and he was big enough to give that to them. Companies being so scared of woke mobs as they are, he had to step back, but still has a lot of fan support, if you go by social media. I assume they smell the bullshit as much as I did. I would be interested in any project Avellone does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a shred of evidence, and now Chris is filing lawsuits against them, which isn’t typically something a guilty man would do. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only by a slim margin so don’t go thinking that I’m too far off the reservation. But I do focus a lot of my energy on the people close to me. How they feel matters a lot to me, which is generally more common with women. So is high empathy. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think women are socialized to be empathetic. It's only with some age and confidence that I embraced my don't-give-a-fuck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celan Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I'm sure not- but if it's not authentic, that is what I meant. OTOH, obviously it's healthy to moderate weaknesses. My mom is ESFJ and I learned a lot from her about observing occasions etc. She's great at care packages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
