At his nadir point he found his inner strength and overcame his obstacle, thus proving his strength is his own, not a hand me down. Conflict solved. Story over. There was nothing left to tell.

25:00 - in 1974, at 5 years old, I was reading DC and Marvel comics all the time. And even at that tender age, I noticed a trend in DC to spend an entire page on exposition, say Batman explaining how they'll use their batarangs to get the drop on the bad guys, and the next page, they've accomplished what was exposited, and then start talking about what they're seeing! This was in every DC book at the time. The Marvel books, on the other hand, did have exposition, too, but they were more apt to use art to tell the story.

Kevin Fiege thinks he’s so clever making his novel to screen adaptations analogy. The other major source of source material for adaptation at the birth of cinema was the theatre. The annual proportion of movies based on stage plays has absolutely plummeted since the end of the 60s, reflecting a big overall change in the style of moviemaking. The entire business of novels publishing now has an eye firmly on getting optioned for movie or TV rights to make it a more profitable enterprise. The creative media all have an impact on each other. It’s so interesting the point made that video games has drawn a generation away from getting into reading comics. You normally only hear that point when discussing changes in TV viewing habits and declining audience figures for broadcast media.

True. The American comic industry is at a major down. Yet Japanese comics or "Manga" for short is fuckin own America comic books that its embarrassing for us to witnesses.

Steel-manning wouldn't be to lie or even twist the truth but to make the best possible argument (using truths) for the thing. The end goal isn't necessarily going to align with making the thing you're arguing for to sound great, it's more what's the best possible thing you can say. I don't think it technically counts as steelmanning, but the opening of better call Saul where he focuses on the future of the kids that cut up and defiled that dead body rather than talking about the actual defilement is a good analogue. Nothing he said was necessarily false, and it was all a framing thing. Usually steel manning is actually used to knock down an argument. If you can craft a better argument for something than the people who are actually for it and still knock it down, then you can knock down any case made for it by the people who are actually for it.

The show would have to have the Greek storyline. The Norse saga isn’t as impactful if you don’t understand who Kratos truly was. IMO the show should cover both storylines if carefully constructed, the Greek mythogy portions could be flash backs that inform the viewer who the present Norse Kratos was and why he is the way he is. I hate that it’s becoming popular to discredit the Original GOW games. Yes, some of the cutscenes don’t hold up, but the story and characters are timeless. Kratos’ evolution from a somewhat sympathetic antihero to a unredemable reflection of the very thing he once despised, is what made this series popular in the first place. That’s why seeing him actually redeem himself in the Norse games was such an emotional event for us who’ve been here from the beginning.

1:20:00 as someone who read and enjoyed the psychological horror of the books over a week long holiday I can confirm that the hunger game movies never loose their tedious glaring mc with a face like a slapped arse and lines fresh from a way stupider series of scripts. Hunger games movies are to the original novels what the Enders game movie was to that work. They are functionally similar in outlook if not in the relative agency of the protagonists.

Winter's Bone was an excellent movie

Altered Carbon S1 to S2 is largely broken because of the 3rd novel story, woken furies which moves from the noir mystery of altered carbon, to a 'conspiracy' story that doesn't merge the 'methusela' ancient/immortal wealthy scions that have the power over planets and corporate militaries, etc. in a believable fashion. So, the Quellist part, is a key aspect of the Kovacs character... but it's also the least important story for the Show/Series, because the Envoys as an existence are better left as mysteries until there's a compelling reason to want to kill the main character off. The main reason why they brought Quell into the story, is the same reason why Ciri is more important than the witcher, in his own show, i.e. they NEED to emasculate male hero characters with Strong Black Women or Akward, unattractive, unlikeable Girls who are the Post-Modern Heroes we Deserve. Since he's 'going home' / semi-retiring when this happens in the novel, this isn't very wise to quickly adapt. Kovacs knows that he's not able to really retire, since he's stored as a backup/clone in multiple places as a failsafe for many people. Even if that would be illegal ie Double Sleeving, due to the problems it creates legally where both entities share criminal and legal responsibility. Which leads into the story for S2, that the backups can be corrupted or fragmented in some way. And, yeah, it wasn't a good idea to adapt the Quellist story, because it unravels the mystery of the character into a weaker version of the character as a result. Namely because Kovacs has 'infinite' possibilities to unravel or delve into whatever society or conspiracy exists. Massive storytelling potential and integrating new/old characters to flesh out the world. Takeshi Kovacs can be 'dropped' in to solve, or create a war, hide a secret, etc. Because he can be dropped into the story, like a mercenary / wanderer, he's not obligated to really feel the consequences or moral scruples of the scenario, he may be rogue/antihero or brave/chivalrous, or just plain villainous and evil, the concept of being an outsider in a harsh cyberpunk dystopia is a great free-form setting.... So that's why you need to destroy the entire franchise before you can make it an action thriller / Mercenary morality play/trauma. Instead, bring Abby in with the golf club to murder the Altered Carbon universe. If they had built a Season 2 which integrates the middle novel, to pad out the character and some of the planets/economy and the universe's backstory first, and not brought the permanently dead 'meths' and the old sleeve rebellion in, i.e. pad out the story over 2 seasons, it would have had more time to percolate. Especially the introduction of religious fundamentalists drowning people in the ocean to stop their sleeves from being recovered. Especially introducing the Envoys and their gradual 'extermination' i.e. the post-russian revolution extinguishing of the revolutionaries that were anticipating being in charge, and were summarily executed in secret, or imprisoned and killed in public for their 'crimes' that the new party blames on the old party. The problem with the protectorate is that you get some amazing things in small doses. When you overload the story with too many new concepts, and then start to push a new narrative on top, and the setting becomes harder to concentrate on, because too many foundations have been moved, i.e. Kovacs has changed, quell is an old friend ? who is this person, why should I care, etc. The 'hook' for people who haven't read the novels, or know the story is kind of ruined, because you don't get that cyberpunk cowboy, it becomes a government rebellion story, which is usually entirely reliant on making the governing rulers ... 'understandable or likeable' and quellchrist falconer is an unbelievably dumb alliteration nickname, especially because in this 'fantasy' of a fantasy setting, then you have a strange islanding problem with this 'rebel hero' just appearing as someone capable, with no real abstraction of the reason or logic behind the relationship.

I think Johansson had a breast reduction and had more of that athletic Black Widow physique by this time, so she kind of lost that curvy vitality that she once had. Still would though.

Also, like, massively blessed has a nice turn. For the wobbers.

You should watch Deep space 9 Metalcommander after you finish the next Generation, also an excellent show

"I'll be dead long before we get to 100". Lulz, that's only 65 weeks from now.

Fat body positivity movement (or whatever it's called) is the first movement against movement...

2:14:15 the “it looks good, I want it” has driven media profits for generations now. Many a cult classic has fallen to the wayside initially or phenomenon risen simply because something pretty caught peoples attention. The last 15+ years of stalled out gaming can be defined as “the same as before, but prettier” (even as the increasing number cut features are lamented by the series long time customers). By extension avatar 2 hit the sweet spot of “the one person that hit 3 D right”, a likely temporary return to a mostly wholesome family movie (with some unexpected plus other idiotic consequences/results) that happened to occur in the middle of a sci fi CGI “Blockbuster” battle of the planets. it’s 2 full movies in ins and would have been better served plot wise with a series but that’s not where the 3D gimmick is found nor are the big profits.

Anyone else finding the "I hate the Critical Drinker" sub genre of KZread piss funny?

I like Chivas Regal :D

Am so pleased that this has surpassed my expectations.

I just read an article about a new Adam Warlock comic coming out where there's another female counterpart called Eve Warlock who's more powerful stronger and smarter than Adam. I don't know how true it was or if it was a joke. I would not be surprised if it's true lol

Oh boy, can't wait to see what "reasonable" changes they're gonna make to the inevitable GoW Tv series -by Amazon-

@@benhynum9879 Too bad. I debated with myself for several weeks before tearing out the record--and I have three copies (bought new). FWIW, the acting isn't really all that good. I guess the guy who plays Dave was okay, but pretty much everyone else was pretty mediocre, especially Sundra and Sutta LeBerq. The theme song was kinda catchy, though. So if you don't find one, don't lose any sleep over it.

Avatar is the answer to Oscars so White. Love to see some blue representation in Hollywood. Papa Smurf was underrated as an actor

1:30:30 Funny enough, that's exactly what Blizzard had to do for WoW. "Oh, people don't like Sylvannas's t*ts anymore? How about Alexstrasza's t*ts?" "Isn't she dead?" "Well yeah, but we need t*ts..."

Baron was awesome

Kinda enjoying watching this format, you should rename it into "Echo Chamber" though. It is very interesting how rarely any of the featured guests disagree with each other or with the host and some sort of discourse surely would help making the format more interesting.

That you for the comment on Altered Carbon. They changed the actors, but changed the character too. Somehow in 2 the main guy was a wuss and couldn’t accomplish anything.

Poor metal commander didn't get to get to say much
