Adding "RP walk" sequences to the new Star Wars Lego games, intended for a generation of kids hooked on 30-second TikTok videos, has to be one of the worst ideas ever conceived.
On the subject of Master Chief taking off his helmet, I like to point out that Red vs Blue was able to convey emotion just using the Halo gameplay. They did this far better than a television show.

Thank you to the commenters who left timestamps, I'm going to see Sonic 2 this upcoming Saturday and I want to go in blind as possible. While also getting to hear the discussion of Lego Star Wars before then.

@@Daniel145D Mumble mode is a poor excuse for what the mumbling actually meant to people. The best thing about the old Lego games is the fact they relied on using visual comedy to portray the story. One of the best examples of it is in Empire Strikes Back during the "I am your father" scene, Vader takes out a picture of him and Padme and points to her belly then points to Luke. It's fucking hilarious
In relation to 7:29:43 Don’t worry Mauler, I’m one of those people that didn’t really care about Star Wars either way before I stumbled across your channel and EFAP. However, your breakdown of script and discussion on media is extremely interesting. It’s helped me think more critically about the stories I watch and even some of the stories and world building that I make. Your channel has over all improved my work. It really pisses me off that there are people out there that dismiss people who watch your videos as just confirming “Last Jedi bad” when people like me just didn’t have opinions about it to begin with. I didn’t like your videos because you were saying Last Jedi bad. I enjoyed them because you were one of the only people who were providing evidence and reason for why they were bad, which may come as a shock to a lot of the people you cover. Surprisingly, if someone who doesn’t have an initially strong opinion on something either way, they’re probably going to be swayed to whatever side has the strongest and most amount of evidence to prove their point. Crazy right? Anyway, I’m sure this comment is unnecessary, I’m sure you have the upmost confidence in your work, but I still wanted to writing this out because the dismissive attitude of some of these people just piss me off.
I think one of the big differences between the two game’s humour is that in the original while the circumstances were funny, the characters themselves were taking it seriously. It was funny and cute how they were in their own little world. Whereas in the Skywalker saga it’s a constant wisecrack or the characters undercutting the situation or 4th wall breaking. It’s hard to describe
Nah, you hit the nail on the head. Compare Qui Gon’s and Maul’s death scenes; the original had some funny elements (Qui Gon’s eyes going XX, Maul’s legs pivoting confusedly in the background), but the characters demeanors were playing it straight and none of the jokes outlasted the punch line. The new one plays out the jokes past their limit.
Nah youre right. The humour is as if they are trying anything and everything to get a laugh. Originally it was subtle. I.e. Obi-Wans lightsaber didnt work and so Qui-Gon was disappointed. Or, as you said, Qui-Gon’s eyes being Xs. They are all simple but impactful jokes. The pacing isn’t affected and the story remains the same. The new game is so blatant with the humour. I.e. the cake Anakin made for Padme on Mustafar (???). Qui-Gon’s head banging to the tune of the Imperial March on the bottom of a Droid vehicle. It’s so meta and 4th wall breaking and it changes the story. The best example I can show of this story changing shit is Obi-Wan’s lightsaber not working vs Anakin giving Padme a cake. One is plausible, one is entirely improbable. It doesn’t make sense in their world, the tone is off and the premise is absurd. They carry on with their dialogue as if nothing is weird. It’s so jarring and weird. The pacing is also off since these gimmicks take up so much time.
Beautiful, innocent Fringold. Never change. The way he genuinely wanted to analyze Diabeto's comment about genociding people he doesn't like and then spins it off unintentionally into a discussion about space exploration. So precious.
"I used to live in a world where all Nemoidians looked the same...then I opened my eyes" Two pretty strong subtle Asian jokes by Rags there I respect it.
You guys discussing the Egyptian gods and how they have avatars in _Moon Knight_ made me realize something: What about Bast? She's still worshiped by Wakanda as the source of the Black Panther's power, and she's even mentioned by name at one point by one of the Wakandan characters (I don't remember exactly who or where it happened); isn't Bast supposed to be in that meeting too, and if so, wouldn't that mean that the reigning Black Panther would have to show up to that meeting as Bast's avatar?
I guess it depends on the pantheon. There was more than one and to make matters more confusing they overlap. A 3000 year old nation with two dark ages separating three renaissance periods, and over 20 dynasties, is a long time for beliefs and traditions to evolve.
@@SiriusSphynx I mean, I _guess_ she'd be called "Bastet" because that's the proper feminine name in Ancient Egyptian, but being the Goddess of Cats technically means that she's *still* the Panther Goddess (and also protection was one of her many attributes, which fits perfectly with the Black Panther's duty as the Protector of Wakanda)!
02:49:00 The point of the fish is that Mark used Steven's body for a whole weekend to travel away in a mission, so when he came back he had missed the date with the girl and the fish had died, so Mark went to the pet shop to try to buy an identical fish to replace it, and the shop's clerk even pointed out that he was there earlier asking for a fish without a fin but she had already told him they didn't have handicaped fish. So Mark's mission had consequences to Steven which escalated to the point of the end of the episode when he finally learns about Mark's existence and surrenders control of the body to him so he can save them.
Even my wife, who isn't a big critic of shows, was screaming about why Steven just stood around after falling from the window. "There's a fucking dog up there, what are you doing right now??"
in ep1 Steven was the strongest part of the show, but ever since he's kind of been the weakest. the Mr knight sections are the worst parts of the series
4:40:00 Simple solution to moving the whole night sky. "I am Khonshu, God of the Moon. Within me lives the history of the night sky. Let me take you back through my eyes, so that you may find the tomb." Then Khonshu places his hands on Steven/Mark's head and he sees the stars rearrange to what used to be.
Or you can try to use your brain and understand that’s an illusion. Cinema is dumb down cause of ppl like you who can’t use their brain to find the logical explanation and need dumb exposition.
Hi! Physicist in chat! The conversations about light and astronomy were hard to listen to. Jay is correct about Venus; approximately 50-60km from Venus's surface, its atmosphere is Earth-like in temperature and pressure, but not composition (oxygen masks would be required outdoors to breathe). It's the only known place outside of Earth where someone could step outside wearing just an oxygen mask and *not die*.
I played TLJ yesterday and saw the green alien milk scene and was like wow! They made it worse. I didn’t know this was possible, but well here we are now
I thought it was less annoying. I mean manually milking the space cow looked more embarrassing. Really it only would have been worse if he drank from the tap.
I'm so happy Fringy had fun with Sonic 2, despite its flaws. I thought it was better than first one and really fun to watch for Sonic fans. I wish Hollywood made more movies like that aimed at fans, instead of preachy nonsense we usually get.
This take on the "show, don't tell" writing advice is strange to me. I think you guys actually agree with the spirit of the advice more than you realize and perhaps you are misinterpreting what it means because so many people envoke this idea inappropriately. It's not necessarily about nonverbal communication of information versus verbal communication. It's about demonstrating vs. merely expositing things. For example, if you want to communicate to your audience that a character is intelligent you can show or demonstrate their intelligence by depicting the character behaving intelligently (verbally or nonverbally). OR you can simply have other characters comment on how smart they are. If you want to communicate a close personal relationship you can demonstrate a level of kinship, familiarity, or intimacy through natural and believable behavior (verbal or nonverbal). OR you could have them just say things to each other that they both already know just to explicitly establish that they have a history for the audience's sake because the writer didn't bother demonstrating the relationship through their behavior. The example of books communicating information in prose as a refutation of "show, don't tell" is not a good analogy at all. This show vs. tell distinction still exists in prose. The author can "show" character information through descriptions of behavior that a character is X, or just "tell" you that they are X without demonstrating it. Obviously there is grey area between the extremes of excellent writing and hacky amatuerish garbage, but the spirit of the advice is most certainly worthwhile and useful. It shouldn't be thrown out.
I think the problem is that "show don't tell" is often taken literally by incompetent idiots. The spirit doesn't matter if everyone just misinterprets it anyway. BTW I agree with your points about it. I just think it shouldn't be called "show don't tell" but instead something like "demonstrate instead of expositing". Even that can probably misconstrued as well.
I think they cited books as a refutation of the literal interpretation of "show dont tell". Unfortunately, tons of people (including the person they were reacting to) take the phrase literally and treat all dialogue as strictly inferior to visual story telling. Jay went on to (more or less) draw the distinction you made here. Or at least, his description of the spirit of "show dont tell" was in the same ballpark.
There's this problem in modern Disney and Sony and whatnot where they don't know what a punchline is. They think a punchline needs to be punchy. As a result, they end up cutting all of their good subtle jokes with bad slapstick jokes. They also cut all of their tension with either bad slapstick jokes or bad slapstick jumpscares, for the same underlying reasons.
That short about Heimerdinger is so wrong that it's actually upsetting. "Heimerdinger never helps anyone"? Dude, he goes out of his way to find and console Viktor who has just received a terminal diagnosis. It's such a hugely empathetic moment from a character who does not really know how Viktor is feeling because he's never had to contemplate dying in this way. His words of comfort are powerful and heartfelt; he tells him that he's secured a legacy that even this nigh immortal being will remember and that he's moved the world in a positive direction. Heimerdinger didn't have to do this, it's an entirely private conversation. It directly benefits him in no way so how is it anything but altruistic? This dude that made this short is so far up his own ass that's he's blind to anything but the most shallow interpretations of writing buzzwords. Edit: ah, just heard Mauler brings up this very scene seconds after I wrote this comment lol. It just upset me so much that I had to pause and vent.
4:58:49 Actually, Corey Burton was Lee's understudy, took over for him in the Kingdom Hearts games and does a damn fine job of it. I would see the version where he voices Shadow.
My favorite part is when Chonsu first says their case against Cult Man needs to be airtight to satisfy the other gods, then proceeds to do everything to sabotage their case, with grandstanding, insulting the 'court', being a generally insolent twat and not providing any arguments.
Anybody else notice how often times Rags will just ramble endlessly without saying anything whatsoever. Case in point 3:30:49 " *There are ways to write that. You can do things. You have a lot.. You have options. You can change the modifiers of the fight and the players involved. I mean, have... There are all kind of things you could do. This is what writing is, right? But they just don't do it. They just say 'fuck it, whatever.' And that's that.* "
I really enjoy how Knuckles is played closer to his SA1 and SA2 interpretations rather than the more modern interpretations of Knuckles being dumb. Knuckles was never dumb just naive.
I had a bug while I was fighting Kylo where after the 2nd round with him, my lightsaber disappeared, so I just punched everyone and then punched Kylo to death and then all of the sudden the cutscene had the lightsaber. It was hilarious
The lack of a character customizer after how extensive it was in DC Super Villains was a huge disappointment. If it wasn’t such a huge Lego collectathon, I wouldn’t be interested in getting it if I had a console to play it. Edit: Damn, I’m just thinking about what earlier LEGO games had (like 1,000,000 stud bonus levels that are made of LEGO), and I’m wanting to go back to those games more than buy this new one. Edit 2: Seeing the Bespin level has convinced me to buy some LEGO games I’ve never played for my Xbox 360. What an absolute waste.
3:09:10 I can guarantee that was the actor who lied on their application or audition and claimed to speak mandarin. As an actor, you are far more employable if you have certain skillsets (sounds obvious but you'd be surpirsed how many fellow actors I know are not aware of this). So this leads to people lying on their credentials or even in the audition itself. The classic one is stuff like riding a horse or stage combat. I myself used to bullshit about this until I actually learned how to do it because you're far more likely to be seen for a role. These days, lagnuage and ethnicity is a really big selling point, so if you have a certain heritage or speak a certain language, then they will absolutely snap you up. I would bet money on this person knowing some basics of mandarin, they saw the casting call for 'someone who speaks mandarin' and then on the day they asked them to say the line in the language and they just made it up. Because no one would know or think any different, they got away with it. It happens way more often than you realise, it's just the times that people properly fuck up that get highlighted.
Jay Laga’aia is an old family friend. I know he’s such a minor character, but I’ll always have a soft spot for Captain Typho and seeing him finally make a full appearance in a Star Wars video game makes me very happy.
6:57:00 The idea is that there is a layer in the atmosphere that an Aero-static colony could exist, with comparable pressure to earth, and has a relatively lower composition of the corrosive acid that makes up a large portion of Venus’ atmosphere. But the hard part is making an aero-stat colony.
For the Halo show, I think the most baffling decision for me is the change in the... I guess indoctrination process with the Spartan-II's. In the games, the UNSC doctors explicitly are against the idea of wiping the memories of the Spartans' old families that they're taken from as children because they are fully aware that if they do so and a Spartan somehow regains those memories, it will lead to insubordination and turning on the UNSC. This is especially bad because they are the best of the best, regardless of any physical or mental degradations that most likely will arise from the Spartan Programs, so having them turn on the government or even just let loose is a dangerous possibility. Henceforth the UNSC being open about the fact that they're child soldiers who have either been taken from their families or given up, because they'll have grown up knowing the why and the where of their old life. Three guesses as to what the scientists opted for in the show, with all that knowledge.
So, on the Moon Knight "star" question. An honest attempt to explain what we saw: 1) It _has_ to be an illusion, because the laws of physics forbid him from actually moving the stars in real time. What we see is not the present, but, in fact _the past,_ because the light from the stars needs to travel for a _long, long time._ And, according to Einstein, light travels at the maximum possible speed. You cannot, therefore, speed it up. Therefore it is _impossible_ to re-arrange stars in such a manner that it would be perceivable _in real time,_ even if we ignore the sheer amount of energy required to do such a feat. 2) If it is an illusion, therefore, yes, everyone can see it and not just our hero. "Illusion", in this case, being "a fake visual, that the viewer might perceive as real". 3) It is _impossible_ to create an illusion of something that you have no knowledge of. I'll explain with an example: please, draw a realistic portrait of my mother. Even if you have the mechanical skills, you can't do it. You don't know what my mother looks like. Creating a realistic image of the night sky as it was 2000 years ago is equally impossible, unless you have a perfect memory and know _exactly_ what it looked like. In which case - just take a pencil and a piece of paper and draw it, rather than invoking high-tier magic, you absolute wastrel. 4) Since we've established that it is, in fact, an illusion. the accompanying "special effects" are just that - they're additional illusions, added by the creature that cast the illusion in the first place. I suppose they like to be flashy. So, that was *the absolute best faith interpretation I could give.* I'm being _extremely_ charitable, and it's still stupid. It could've been accomplished with a rough sketch, rather than magic.
@@drliamo9049 it's a fantasy TV show that isn't explaining anything about its fantastical elements and is actively damaging the worldbuilding of the MCU. Why are you saying this as if it answers any of their points?
Speaking of Paladin's points, the _SORCERER SUPREME_ Dr. Strange should have a way of detecting massive magical outputs, like what Khonshu is doing, which means he should already be there with his portal spells and starts grilling Moon Knight on what's happening.
To 1) I don't know if you're familiar with geocentrism, probably. But that model has a fatal flaw, that if distances in space are the same, then I believe even Uranus has to move faster than the speed of light to circle the earth every day. And that's in real time, and only as far as Uranus. Of course geocentrism has catastrophic consequences for objects further away from Earth. But if this show moves the universe that fast, then I think even as far as Mars would have to move at FTL speeds lol. But also if it's an illusion, what is he doing? Is he calculating the star movements in quasi realtime? Why can't he just snap and bam the stars are in the correct place. Why does he need this spinning back the wheels of time nonsense? This show is stupid.
Ammit or Ammut was the god of divine retribution, in egyptian mythology when a person dies their heart (AKA Soul) is placed on the Maat. The Maat is a set of scales and the soul is weighed against a feather. Sin weighs down the soul, and good acts lifts it up. The culmination of you're good and bad deeds is judged, not the fact you did a bad thing . If your soul has too much sin Ammit eats your soul and you cease to exist. The Cult does not understand Ammit. Out of all the egyptian gods to make a villain out of this is a strange choice because ammit is an impartial judge of the dead, along with anubis and Osiris is lord over them both as king of the underworld
star wars has done the same thing with order 66 by adding more and more Jedi who miraculously survived. It's why you can't let randoms to come in and add to your canon
5:17:36 Just so we're clear, the fan theory is that Kylo Ren expected Rey to be well trained in using a lightsaber, but, she sucked so bad at it, that it confused him long enough for him to get his ass beat in combat. ... Okay.
So a piece of media under Disney Star Wars connected to the ST is a shitty rush job, poorly put together, and an insult to what came before? All the while idiots will still clap their hands and praise it simply for the fact that it says Star Wars on it? My god, imagine my surprise. And as usual, I get a feeling of seething amusement at the Skywalker Saga moniker. It's so forced an unearned that it really is fitting that it's tied to such a shitty game.
@@Сайтамен if that is the case then brings up the question on how can you cast an illusion that you don't know... Also the question about why you would let an entire city see this illusion when only two people need to see it.
@@sophisticautistic5453 Khonshu the God cast the Illusion, he's the one who knew of the stars 2000 years before. As to why everyone else saw it, who knows
if Sonic 3 ends up being Jim Carrey's last movie it'd be pretty fitting. That guy tends to make the most shit movies and roles way more entertain then they deserve to be and if he brought us an authentic fat eggman to the silver screen as his swan song i'd be happy with it; combine that with Shadow the Edgehog being voiced by Nolan North or some shit it may break the curse of shit quality sequels.

Also on the Moonknight “waking up and not realizing what day it is” thing, it seems fair to me that he doesn’t realize considering he wakes up the majority of the way through the day. If he went through an entire day normally and never figured it out, that would be one thing. Instead, he wakes up, notices the fish, goes to pet store, notices the time, goes home and gets ready, and goes straight to the restaurant. Seems pretty plausible.
I wanted to comment on the "show, don't tell" discussion: The reason the term feels a little vague or insufficient when applied to visual media (I believe Jay said something like "convey information to the audience in a natural way" would be better) is because the "rule" of "show, don't tell" was originally devised for literary writing. The term is often attributed to Russian writer Anton Chekov (famous for his gun), who told his brother something to the effect of "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." In literary media, _everything_ is conveyed to the audience through your prose, and so "show, don't tell" is supposed to apply to _everything_ you do, from character emotions to actions in the narrative to the details of the setting, hence why the rule may seem so lacking when applied to visual media. In literary writing, you shouldn't _tell_ us a character is angry, you should _show_ us their anger through their dialogue, poses, facial expressions, etc.; don't _tell_ us two characters had a sword duel, _show_ us the thrusts and slashes and parries, and all of the tension, danger and investment that comes with it; don't _tell_ us a house the character's are visiting is old and decrepit, _show_ us the antique furniture, the faded paint, the dust-covered curios, the worn carpets, etc. With visual media, it's almost inevitable that most of these things, aside from character emotions and backstory, will be shown by the very nature of the medium (though admittedly, sometimes you will get clunky dialogue where characters just tell things that were already shown by the visuals). It isn't really possible (or at least I can't think of any exceptions at the moment) for visual media to "tell" something instead of "showing" it to the audience outside of character dialogue, hence why you guys (who primarily focus on critiquing visual media) seem to hone in on dialogue so much when discussing the "rule" of "show, don't tell" as it applies to the craft of writing.
Sonic 2 is only really a "faithful" adaptation in the sense that it has a bunch of recognisable iconography from the games. Mechanically, as to how those things function, they are nothing like their game counterparts. Sonic is a completely different character, Tails is a completely different character, Eggman is a completely different character, the nature of the master and chaos emeralds is completely different. The lore behind the echidna tribe is completely different, the story's themes are completely different, the structure of the setting is completely different, and I could go on. It's only really "faithful" in the most surface level sense of the word, because the more you actually compare the film to the games, the easier it is to see how radically different the two are. Knuckles is pretty close, though That isn't necessarily a point of criticism of the film; I don't really care how faithful an adaptation is so long as it's good, but so much of the conversation surrounding Sonic 2 is about how supposedly faithful it is when that isn't true at all in any substantive manner Also on the matter of typical speedster issues, this should theoretically be the easiest thing to solve in regards to Sonic if they just adapted how his speed mechanically works in the games. In the games, Sonic can't just zoom off at top speed from a standstill, he needs to build up from typical jogging speed, and he does have a natural top speed, that he can only breech by using gravity and sloped terrain to his advantage. Pretty sure no narratively driven adaptation of the character has ever even tried to address that as an issue, and it's really frustrating when the solution has been staring them in the face since day one
Knuckles is nothing like he is in the games. Tails is a much closer adaptation. Tails is a fanboy with huge respect for Sonic and confidence issues. That was a big part of his character for years. Knuckles is a warrior who doesn't understand fun or social norms because he's spent his entire life as a warrior. Compare that to OG Knuckles, who is a cheeky defender who works with Eggman. He smiles a lot. Adventure Knuckles is serious but clearly understands social norms. He's just more stoic and prefers to keep to himself. He has plenty of moments where he is in a group and fine but doesn't partake in the fun despite clearly getting it. He's serious. Sonic X Knuckles (or Knuckles after Heroes) is a hyper temperamental angry boy who's not dumb but very naive and tends to go to anger before logic but also seems to have an easy time to enjoy fun. None of these match movie Knuckles. I really like Movie Knuckles but he is a very different character to anything we've ever had before this. I also agree with your overall point that this is in no way faithful besides iconography and that's ok as long as it's good. And it IS good... when it focuses on any non-human character. The human characters are awful and the only good scene with Tom is the first one in the boat.
@@shadowofdimentio4618 Looking at Sonic 3K, Knuckles in that game is basically the exact same as he is in the movie, they've just changed the context. Knuckles is dead-serious and ignorant of the outside world. He's very direct, one-track minded with a single goal having encompassed his entire life and easy to manipulate because of that disposition. Future games might have ret-conned or misinterpreted his lack of worldly knowledge to just treat him like a moron, and I think that's kinda shit, but considering 3K, the movie plays him pretty straight without changing his character too much, as opposed to what they did with Sonic where he hardly even resembles his game counterpart. And not every game is consistent in treating him like a moron either, SA2 and Zero Gravity are pretty good at respecting him, for instance, with Knuckles' stage themes in SA2 actually doubling down on the idea that he isn't just stupid, but just lacks experience with the outside world in their lyrics.
Knuckles is nothing like his Sonic 3K Counterpart. Movie Knuckles is obsessed with warrior culture and avenging his people. He goes after Sonic for both a clue at finding the master emerald and to defeat him in combat. He does not understand social cues or how to interact with people. he is not just ignorant of human culture, but of his own as well. He doesn't understand what fun is for goodness sake. He spends the entire movie arguing against Eggman not because he thinks Sonic is an enemy (which he still does think) but because Eggman offers him the ability to find something his people sought for. He is hyper serious, doesn't understand jokes too well and is quite stand-offish. Now lets look at the Knuckles from the genesis games. You say the above is true for Sonic 3K, but Knuckles in that game works with Eggman because Eggman convinces Knuckles Sonic is the bad guy. Eggman doesn't offer Knuckles much of anything and plays on his naïve trusting nature. Knuckles, as stated in the Sonic 3 manual (which is where character must be found) states he is both clever and loves using traps. This makes sense as in-game he is often seen defeating Sonic with traps and not any sort of warrior mantra. He seems to put his duty before honour which is a big no-no for movie Knuckles. He is not dead serious like movie Knuckles as he is seen laughing at almost every single opportunity. Knuckles doesn't chuckle my ass. Sure he's easy to manipulate like in the games but Sonic is also someone who wants to help people like in the games. That's a shallow thing to find as common ground especially when Knuckles in the movie is tricked by Eggman basically doing all the mind work while Knuckles does the grunt work. They're a team and if Eggman wasn't useful, Knuckles would have ditched him back at the cliff. Game Knuckles believes Eggman due to his trusting nature and Sonic's general attitude (he comes in with a super form). Knuckles is simply a nice guy. Very different ways they were tricked. Other Genesis Games also show Knuckles as overall more light hearted than you've described, as does the OVA which is important in being the only animated source for Knuckles during that era. Tails is closer to his game counterpart and Knuckles is completely different outside sharing the same general motivation and (very loosely) backstory. I agree that dumb Knuckles is dumb and I miss quiet, angry but not stupid Knuckles. The new era of colours-present (legacy Sonic as some have started calling it) has really just destroyed a lot of characters. At least dark age had its charm. Movie Knuckles was a good interpretation of the character that is not faithful to any game but stands on its own as a solid character. Movie Sonic is a bit too childish for me and I do wish we had gotten actual Sonic (pre colours please. Anything buy Legacy Sonic and his smugness). I don't think Knuckles got bad till 06 (and Shadow maybe? I forget a lot of that game due to the story being just a jumbled mess that started edgy hedgie Shadow). Adventure Knuckles (Which I define as Knuckles in adventure to Heroes) is my favourite portrayal of the character. He''s calm, makes rational decisions and is overall not afraid to have fun or be a member of a larger group, but is still clearly happy to be by himself. He has great moments of intelligence and doesn't really show any stupidity. I consider Zero Gravity as being part of Dark Age Knuckles (Sonic X/Shadow-Free Riders). Zero gravity and X are probably the best takes at 'dumb' Knuckles where they give him lots of great moments to show his calm side and what he can do whilst also giving his temper moments actual substance. But it's still dark age Knuckles. I have a huge fondness in my heart for it but it did hurt his character substantially. If we got zero gravity Knuckles from now on I'd be happy. Also song lyrics are not a good way to examine a character. 'Unlike Sonic I don't chuckle' comes to mind. The lyric writer also put in a lot of dumb lines if I remember. Even if they were all amazing, if they contradict what's actually shown then they're useless as evidence of character. That being said Knuckles in the adventure games rocks. Sega please bring him back. So yeah, you have to show me how Tails fails to match his character in Sonic X, Adventure and late dark age games while giving examples of Knuckles matching his better. I feel like they nailed Tails in the movie and all he was missing was screentime. Now all we can do is wait for Shadow and see if they can hit another home run (for the sonic cast anyway. Humans all sucked)
oh man so there are egyptian gods? did they get snapped? why did they not yoink thanos into the sun? No one knows? the MCU is actually braindead. Its like there are 10 thanos level villains around and no one gave a shit about egtting snapped
I mean the Egyptian gods say they chose to quit helping and go into hiding forever ago, and they don't seem to care too much about avatars dying. Also the marvel comics kinda have the same flaw, there is legit like 10 Thanos tier dudes who all sorta take turns being the big bad
@@mrshmuga9 I'd argue it's reaching a point of being actually more convoluted. Like comics are goofy, but you usually just have to start with #1 from whatever year you wanna start with for each story. But the MCU now requires Movies, TV, and I believe even a scant few comics. Soon we'll hit our first MCU reset and BOOM comics are no longer in the same realm of goofy
They just exist to observe, not to actually do anything....so this makes Khonshu the only one not an asshole when it comes to Thanos. This is riveting storytelling
their conversation reminded me of the time when I was in the car with my siblings, in my own head and then just started chanting donut donut dunut, I thought I was singing/chanting that in my head but in reality i was chanting it out loud.
Speaking of Lego Skywalker Saga… social media has made the “life cycle” of a game toxic. Hype > Release where everyone gushes > Dissent is belittled > Months later people start to agree > New game announced, cycle repeats. Not that it didn’t happen before, but social media makes it much worse. That first week or so people are playing it, is the online honeymoon phase where everyone gushes about it, and feels reinforced to feel that way (with “likes” or seeing/sharing any minute cool detail). It gives people a sense of community. Anyone with mild criticisms will get looked at as “nitpicking/overly critical/ungrateful” (heretic, “let people enjoy things”). Then, _months later,_ some or more will admit the criticisms were valid. Others will think the game is still good because they haven’t thought about it since, and their first impression was influenced by social media “good vibes”. Next game comes out and the cycle repeats. It’s really annoying, especially when people have such a low bar for what’s “good”. Games could be SO much better, but people are easily influenced by others online or visuals to even think twice about their experience. I don’t care much about Lego games, but TSS piqued my interest because it looked like they were taking it to the next level (more types of combat, open areas). It’s unfortunate that it turned out to be barely a game at all.
Someone finally put it in words...the toxic positivity surrounding games (and films too) on social media are killing these products and the very idea of quality. Just consume product and then get excited for next product.
@@auroraSLAP I honestly wonder if people even finish these games or just rush through them with such little thought. Because it certainly comes off like they play them mindlessly. Example, everyone was saying Pokemon Legends Arceus is the best pokemon game ever and how amazing it is and so on. Now, I think it _does_ have one or two core mechanics that are addictive (and plenty of QoL fixes). And it's headed in the right direction... but it's very clearly someone's 1st attempt at a (semi) open-world game. Very basic and bland outside that one hook. Fast-forward to Elden Ring. Some Ubisoft devs got butthurt and said some dumb things. People made a mock image of "If Ubisoft made Elden Ring" (UI flooded with boxes and map markers). I've only played one Assassin's Creed game (years ago), but despite the constant dunking on the series, I'm willing to bet it's still better fleshed out than PLA. Yes, PLA is achieving something new _for the series,_ but now that it's dipped it's toe in the open-world genre, it should be compared to its contemporaries. And it does not hold up well. And now that Scarlet/Violet are going to be open-world (and I assume retain some key mechanics of PLA) it won't even hold up within the series or even the year it released. Even more reason it couldn't be delayed to make it better, because it would get too close to S/V and wouldn't stand a chance. I guess in a long way I'm saying, people have a bigotry for low expectations for almost _everything_ now. Expecting quality, working at launch, no micro-transactions or anything above the bare minimum (sometimes not even that) is seen as "expecting too much". "Go easy on them". No. If I'm paying AAA prices or it's a AAA production, I expect high quality. What are you paying all these people for if we're getting mediocre or crappy products anyway?
@@mrshmuga9 That Elden Ring vs Ubi open world circlejerk was something else... people made 10-20 minute essays about the virgin ubi open world and the chad elden ring one, but it only boils down to map markers and nothing more. Sure, you have to look around more in ER to find dungeons, but the rewards are pretty abysmal. I can not really see the difference between clearing out the Nth copy-pasted dungeon with reused just to get a weapon that will 99% rot in your bonfire box because you already haver a much better in slot/does not fit your build or a spell/summon you will likely not use, and clearing out a copy pasted outpost in AC Odyssey for some XP. The important landmarks are either really obvious (like the siofra elevator) or already marked (mines with bearings, map obelisks, structures). If on subsequent runs you ACTIVELY ignore 99% of the overworld, it is not the sign of a great open world... Thankfully ER is slowly getting into the 'Months later people start to agree' phase. It is funny to see how content creators are starting to make 'elden ring is maybe not that perfect' videos, and the comments are getting more reasonable too. I liked ER but criticism is really important, the last thing I want is ER2 electric boogaloo, with the same god awful lazy design.
the jackal in the museum did not touch anything. only the bathroom was destroyed. angles of the camera make it seem like there is nothing there. there are no cameras in the bathroom. The guy that was killed in ep 3 was someone marc was tacking for info and cult people killed him so he would not give that info. The show is still not good.
8:06:55 I just tabbed over to Ponway Games' TLJ review and the first 5 minutes or so is a schizopost about Mauler being a hack compared to him, and that all stories so far are "the worst ever." Rags was right, he is fucking insane. Oh, and he also says in that first 5 that he challenges MauLer to a debate, to name his favorite film, and he shall tear it apart to prove it is as bad as TLJ.
Isn't MauLer's favorite film Terminator 2? Or Predator? I mean, the dude might think he has a chance if it's T2, but Predator is damn near bulletproof. And funny thing is, MauLer has already listed all of the known writing flaws in both of those movies on Drinker's "Open Bar" streams... so this dude isn't going to be convincing anybody of anything... MauLer should do the debate anyway though. I loved the Not So Great Debate.
And like clockwork someone in the chat says " do y'all enjoy nothing? It's a freaking Lego game"... Smh. Also it's bloody hilarious how the director was so mad at how movies portray Egypt and then in this show they apparently didn't shoot alot in London and he wakes up and bam there are the pyramids lol and then they go into the pyramid of Giza and it looks nothing like the actual one lol hypocrite
1:24:02 AND IT WILL FLOW Like a flood of pain! Pouring down on me! And it will not let up until the end is here! And it will go, through the darkest day! In the final hour! And it will never rest until these clouds are clear! Until it finds my dreams have disappeared!
@@darkpuppetlordful Imagine the developers of MGR given the time and money to make a Star Wars game. They already have a perfect lightsaber dismemberment system… Just bring back Jaime Christopherson and the various musicians involved to make an orchestral/Metal fusion soundtrack.
@@darkpuppetlordful Oh in my head this would be its own side story thing, so it can really /cut loose/, and not be constrained by the movies so strictly. But I would like to hear that too.
For Sonic not grabbing the emerald from Eggman; to be fair he did just lose a fight to Knuckles, was probably too weak at that point to stop Eggman. But there are inconsistencies still, not arguing against that.
Regarding finding the location based on the stars, your local planetarium can do the same thing without breaking the cosmos. Maybe do that next time Konshu and don't get yourself imprisoned in stone.
So, what you're telling me is, Lego Skywalker saga has the same problem as dc villains and dc heroes 3, where worlds are large with small quests, with strange free time between missions. And for you wondering, no, marvel 1 and dc 2 don't have the same problem because they keep the free play moments short and contained
Couldn't make it past episode 3. This was the point where I gave up on the Marvel shows. Never touched She Hulk, and from what I've heard, that was the correct choice.
For moon knight it kind of feels like the writers keep forgetting that earth isn't the centre of the universe and in the mcu has a heliocentric model then having a hero powers and a God from a mythology using geocentric model and same for shanchi the mythology is geocentric and the writers are doing next to nothing to account for it. If the mcu was geocentric then moving the sky would be fine it's just moving the ceiling but in a heliocentric it's moving billions of giant spheres of plasma
I assumed it was just turning back the look of the sky. Like a giant snowglobe.. I think people might be taking the worst faith stance against it and I know I'm playing devils advocate and I'm not really a huge fan of the show by a longshot but I didn't have any reason to think they messed with actual space because the limited power of the gods already. Next you'll tell me gamma radiation doesn't make me green and mad and large.
Guess No one in Marvel has ever heard you can get a free program on your computer that will show you the star locations from thousands of years in the past into the future.
@@cameronroy2129 They have a magic computer already. It didn’t have any problems. Edit. And the program I got with my telescope as a kid would show you the compass ticks on the screen. I imagine the ones today would even show you the degrees up from the ground and from zenith the stars would be.
It’s hilarious to see the real thing after the endless praise. The new engine is undoubtedly where a few of these issues crop up from, owing to the ease of use implementing standard features. “I.e” multiple actions for 1 button contextually based on where the player is and what they are doing.
5:27:32, I am actually the one who posted the arc on Reddit, it was from my now deleted account u/KingBeefyMollusk, really weird for me to know that my poorly made reddit post actually amused the crew.
So about not knowing what the date it is... I spend a lot of time at my laptop. It has today's date displayed all the time in the right bottom corner. I also take a look at my phone from time to time when I'm out to check the time among other things. And there also is date displayed just below the clock, just in much smaller font. And with all this, even though it seems ridiculous, every time I am doing a delivery that requires signature and writing the date... I have to actively look it up on my phone. Cause all that time having the date displayed right in front of me doesn't matter cause I'm not paying attention to that information and my brain doesn't pick it up until I actually need that bit of info. So yeah. Maybe I'm a total weirdo, but I can definitely see that happening for me. If I lost a few days of memories, I would learn about it when something date specific came up.
On the very basic conceptual level I love the setup of the stars shifting, Steven knowing that fact, and Khonshu having perfect knowledge of the night sky being able to recreate it the way it was in the past. It's a nice moment to play off of and highlight the abilities and knowledge of the characters involved. I don't know if they move enough in 2000 years for it to make a difference, but that would certainly be something I could look past through suspension of disbelief even if it's not 100% accurate. But they went full "spectacle over logic / substance" and threw the entire premise out the window with a massively stupid display. I have to assume it's an illusion because actually moving the stars is too stupid to even consider, but a mass illusion encompassing the entire world is also extremely silly, just not cosmically destructive. It would have been so easy to just have Khonshu showing this to Steven only. It could have still been a big fancy moment with impressive effects just by showing the audience what Steven was seeing through Khonshu. Heck, they probably could have done it the exact same way except cutting the scenes of other characters reacting to it, and adding a simple scene of Steven appearing to be in a trance or something. My guess is that they went full moron because they needed a narrative reason to get rid of Khonshu for a bit and they couldn't be bothered to come up with something not incredibly stupid.
3:41:56 I get that we don't know because our POV "blacked out" and we didn't see it, but how did they get from the marketplace location to up on some cliff? Seems like a drastic location swap, while still dealing with the same "minions" to me. From the roof to the taxi is fine. That's not that far and they say he let them go a minute ago. But, this one seems like a huge leap that's difficult to reconcile.
The funny thing about the civilisation talk that in the ancient mesopotamia and egypt they were pretty good at astronomy as well, because they were obsessed by the night sky so even there know when it is propable a eclipse. Not everyone, but they were pretty good at this concrete subject.
I think Angry Joe's review of Sonic 2 put it perfectly when he said "the highs of this movie are higher than the first, but the lows are lower." EDIT: Also, 5:06:48. Jay is clearly a person of culture for that reference lol
im at the point now where they're changing the stars in the night sky, and to quote batman "if i had a week i couldn't list all the reasons that wouldn't work"
Their star chart Moon Knight has is just the constellation Orion. Without a horizon you can't find latitude and without a horizon and an exact time you can't find longtitude, so it's literally just a diagram of Orion with no further meaning. Even if all the information WAS included, holes poked in a piece of papyrus or whatever wouldn't be precise enough to locate something like a tomb. Also, why is the star chart shaped like a five pointed star? That's not why it's called a star chart.
It's shaped like a five-pointed star because the writers and director think the audience wouldn't know it's a star chart unless it looked like the stereotypical depiction of a star.
Pretty sure literally all of them are better Batman 3 has a fully fledged story with real levels with gameplay and a chunky open world where you can visit different planets(tbf it felt a bit bloated but it's still better)
Not to defend the mask removal trope, because I hate it, but if it makes sense anywhere it's in No Way Home. His identity is public, so there's no reason to fear removing it. And yet it still makes sense for Pete to wear it in fights because it's armored as has gizmos and whatever. Again, this trope is pretty stupid most of the time, but I think it works just fine in No Way Home.
I can't believe that the developers were so stupid that when referring to Anakin saying that no one can kill a Jedi, they had Qui Gon say, "I guess Anakin was right about the Jedi." That's like saying, "I guess Hitler was right about the Jews." In reference to Hitler one time saying, "Jews come from Israel." No one is going to think of that quote, they're going to think of the Genocide that was committed!!!
Did Fringy forget that "3" was the TLJ level of bad movie? Did he actually explained his position well enough to justify the "3 or 4 out of 10" rating for Sonic 2 movie? I didn't watch the movie yet (late premiere here in Poland - April 22nd), but I was wondering if the Gooman justified that statement with any coagent arguments? I obviously can't see that part because of spoilers, but I'm curious.
He stated that it was essentially due to the plot, mainly in the areas of convenience and all the issues with sonic. I disagree on it being a 3/4 out of 10, although it wouldn’t be much higher and we all grade films differently. All I really care about, from a sonic film, is enjoyment, and I got my fair share. I couldn’t care less if it’s good so I don’t necessarily have an issue with frongy’s statement.
@@koben333 Yeah, but the quality and overall "feel" of the movie is usually portrayed by those. That's why I was surprised by the rating. Nevertheless I will watch the movie when it comes out here and see that part of the stream later.
The panel, and the guy saying Konshu getting locked up should prove its not just an illusion seem to have missed or forgotten that the other gods said "we dont want humans knowing we exist, dont do shit that draws attention."
Yeah I feel like they had a couple of bad points and takes on moon knight, or seemingly complained about things that they apparently didn't mind, like the guy licking the knife
@@stevenwatcher2107 They've kind of admitted, at least MauLer has, to not paying as much attention when they lose interest. Everyone seems to have missed Layla saying Mark sent her divorce papers, missed that the Egyptian gods don't want to be known, missed that Konshu was banished for getting involved in human affairs still. Hell Fringy says even invisible the security camera's should have still shown the monster knocking stuff over, even though the monster never knocked anything over. Show's got issues for sure but man they get a lot wrong.
@@redbearington3345 Yeah there is a lot that they seemed to miss and a lot of really bad faith arguments or even nitpicks like complaining about how shiny things were
So in defense of Moon Knight (I do think they're right about it getting worse as it's gone on, but just): - I don't know what Rags and co. mean about Steven phasing out/getting taken over by Marc in order to beat people up is "done once and then they sort of forget about it", when it happens minutes later in the van chase, and again at the end of the pilot, and again for the second episode's big fight. And I mean, EFAP goes over those scenes too, so... I must not understand what they mean as "being done once and dropped". - I can only vouch for myself; I've definitely been able to go an entire day without realizing the date, even while going into public areas, or using this very computer which tells me the date in the top right. I just don't look at it sometimes. In Steven's case, he knew he had a date for what he thought was "today". It's unusual that he wouldn't check just to be sure, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. He may have checked his watch, only, for the time. - Layla did send Steven texts, but he just didn't check. Again, because he was sure of the date. And after just a few hours (at least the way my phone works is), your phone doesn't buzz or chime to let you know you missed anything. So when Steven wakes up (a day?) late, he wouldn't be notified/compelled to check the phone beyond his own curiosity. From my own experience, I do not habitually check my phone when I'm planning to meet someone somewhere. Not unless I'm notified first, or I realize someone must be running late. - I do not agree at all with MauLer at 3:01:40 that Marc and/or Khonshu would logically push Steven to seek a mental asylum. How would that *not* hinder them even more? - Don't *fully* understand the group's dislike of Layla being so standoffish with Marc. I agree she shouldn't have ever threatened to kick him off the bike, since she definitely intends to confront him with something shortly. I also agree they really dance around important conversation in the apartment; that bugged me, how they don't get down to business, and Steven doesn't seem to attempt a thorough explanation. BUT, she thinks Marc is playing along with a cover. Why would she immediately assume Marc has been possessed by ANOTHER identity besides Khonshu? The only way you can gauge how a normal person would react to this is your own reaction... which doesn't speak for Layla. - I can see how a knife is a more.. intimate? way of threatening someone, but why Rags has an issue with the very concept of threatening someone by holding them over a ledge... I don't get at all. It totally stills works. "I'm going to drop you if you don't tell me X. My fingers are slipping, you'd better tell me quick." What's the issue here? If Marc doesn't want to actually hurt the young guy in any way, then an all-or-nothing threat is definitely more in-character than taking off fingers with a knife. - Marc does mention to Steven (in the storage in unit scene, or maybe the last bit of ep 2?) that reflective surfaces are good gateway for communication, and that the rest of the time, the dormant personality is practically drowning, and they then REALLY have to fight to get through. - 3:56:31 Don't remember the Egyptian gods saying their powers have diminished. They mention they've locked other meddlesome gods away, because a majority of them feel they have long had no business, trying to influence humanity anymore. This is like a slight improvement over Eternals, where there were also celestial beings deciding not to use their agents to control the fate of humanity... but in Eternals' case, the Celestials *definitely* needed their agents to stop threats like Ultron and Thanos. Anyway, I did not get the impression that the Egyptian gods *want* worship anymore. It was just them pointing out that they are no longer widely recognized by humanity as true deities. They seem to be in self-exile. The part I agree with is that, yeah, representing these very interesting mythological figures as a bland hive-mind that does very little in the way of investigation, for this alleged apocalyptic event... seriously underwhelming. - Khonshu rolling back the night sky two-thousand years, as I understood it, was only an illusion. It's his memory of the night sky, by his own words. Rags says there's clearly a passage/reversal of *time*, because we see stars moving, but.. I don't think the show thinks the sky is a flat image, and I don't think we are meant to interpret this as literal stars being rearranged. It is a projection of Khonshu's knowledge. He's a god of the night. and Moon. A Moon Night, If You Will. Doesn't seem like a problem to me. Khonshu creates an image in the full range of vision for him and Steven to observe. Their field of vision of the sky would extend some other parts of Egypt, because the sky is pretty big. It may be that the whole "nighttime side" of Earth right now (where the sun is not obscuring other stars), is seeing this. Khonshu has to do this for the benefit of Steven and Layla, because even though Khonshu remembers the particular night... what is he going to do, describe it to them? He has to show them, clearly. Why does Fringy keep questioning if Khonshu has this knowledge or not? Fringy says he doesn't understand the concept of an illusion explanation for this, and I don't see why. I think he is simply... disillusioned. - I'm still on the sky thing. MauLer takes a suggestion of chat that Khonshu could've instead reminisced about the night they need?.. and Rags concurs... now the tables have been turned, where I don't understand that at all. Again, what is Khonshu going to do, describe to Steven the subtle locational differences of the constellation? And then Steven and Layla would exchange a look, and go... "Um, k, can you like show us? We do in fact need to be able to see said sky, otherwise we can't get the location we need." Does Khonshu speak in longitude and latitude? Can he tell a computer what he knows? Probably not. That's why he's *showing this to Steven and Layla* - MauLer even suggests that a fix to the sky scene is, Khonshu could just move some of the stars, ever so slightly, instead of doing a full rewind. Well, Earth still has multitudes of telescopes and satellites watching the sky. So humans would still realize, to some capacity, that stars just moved out of nowhere, in a very irregular fashion. Now, whether or not any researchers or stargazers realized this immediately, the Egyptian gods would still see this too. And know Khonshu defied them again. And they would imprison him, just like they do in the show. Nothing changes, except for the extravagance of the lights display. So. Yes, the show went with the more impressive shot. 4:47:52 Beyond GotG Vol. 3? No. ;-; Bonus thing they didn't mention. In the rooftop fight, the youngest guy throws a knife at Marc, and then disappears for several moments where (if he still had been in the fight, as he should) Marc might have been overpowered. Instead, we finally see the young guy again, knocked out in the top right of the screen. I cannot fathom the choreographer not realizing this, so I assume this is down to editing... which is truly sloppy.
@tea I think that was Rags lamenting the state of movies and shows, in general. Not that this scene, specifically, engaged in character assassination. Maybe he also means when Steven tries to calm the fight in episode 3, but immediately gives up his principles when he keeps getting attacked. For the record, I don't think that's character assassination myself, I just don't really like that they took a nice quality of Steven's morals and used it for a joke... rather than actually having him be a diplomat for the scene. I know I know, we need some fights scenes for our superhero show... but Marc and Layla totally didn't need to fight the black market buyers. Certainly not with such lethality. They could've tried to explain what they want to stop Harrow from doing. The buyers weren't on Harrow's side after all.
@tea Just trying to play devil's advocate, I don't really have big problems with any of the fight. But again, I was saying that Rags meant character assassination of Steven, not Marc and Layla, for that scene: That Steven strongly objecting to the violence was passed up for the joke.
I honestly loved Sonic 2. Better than the first one. I give it 7.5/10. The ending baseball game was so wholesome. (But yes, the wedding scene was completely worthless)
I'm a little confused about something. Oscar Isaac was born in Guatemala to a Guatemalan mother and a Cuban father. Yet, he's played a fair amount of Middle Eastern characters. I don't actually care. I'm just unclear on if that's allowed or not. I didn't think actors were allowed to play characters that don't match their identity, anymore, whether you could tell by their appearance or not. I thought that was no longer acceptable. Or is that just in cases where we actually care about offending who's being represented?
I didn't know the jetpack was infinite in the OG Lego Star Wars game. In the Complete Saga, if you hovered with Jango/Boba Fett a certain distance you fell down. However if you hovered in place it would be infinite. I am guessing the commenter Mauler responds to in the beginning only played The Complete Saga.

I won’t spoil anything but sonic kills dumbledore
I preferred when the Lego star wars didn't have talking, just visuals and facial expressions to give you an understanding of what's kinda happening.
Me too, but it has a “mumble mode” where it removes all the dialogue
@@Daniel145D And it makes it even more shit because nothing makes sense since the cutscenes were made for voice
@@spendsshanks6050 oh yeah that’s a great point. I haven’t played the game yet
@@spendsshanks6050 Yeah it’s just the same cutscenes except all the characters speak the Sims language. idk why anyone would want it
@@Daniel145D Mumble mode is a poor excuse for what the mumbling actually meant to people. The best thing about the old Lego games is the fact they relied on using visual comedy to portray the story. One of the best examples of it is in Empire Strikes Back during the "I am your father" scene, Vader takes out a picture of him and Padme and points to her belly then points to Luke. It's fucking hilarious
In relation to 7:29:43
Don’t worry Mauler, I’m one of those people that didn’t really care about Star Wars either way before I stumbled across your channel and EFAP.
However, your breakdown of script and discussion on media is extremely interesting. It’s helped me think more critically about the stories I watch and even some of the stories and world building that I make. Your channel has over all improved my work.
It really pisses me off that there are people out there that dismiss people who watch your videos as just confirming “Last Jedi bad” when people like me just didn’t have opinions about it to begin with. I didn’t like your videos because you were saying Last Jedi bad. I enjoyed them because you were one of the only people who were providing evidence and reason for why they were bad, which may come as a shock to a lot of the people you cover. Surprisingly, if someone who doesn’t have an initially strong opinion on something either way, they’re probably going to be swayed to whatever side has the strongest and most amount of evidence to prove their point. Crazy right?
Anyway, I’m sure this comment is unnecessary, I’m sure you have the upmost confidence in your work, but I still wanted to writing this out because the dismissive attitude of some of these people just piss me off.
Sonic 2 has a more mature understanding of what it means to be a hero than the DCEU and Phase 4.
I think one of the big differences between the two game’s humour is that in the original while the circumstances were funny, the characters themselves were taking it seriously. It was funny and cute how they were in their own little world. Whereas in the Skywalker saga it’s a constant wisecrack or the characters undercutting the situation or 4th wall breaking. It’s hard to describe
Nah, you hit the nail on the head.
Compare Qui Gon’s and Maul’s death scenes; the original had some funny elements (Qui Gon’s eyes going XX, Maul’s legs pivoting confusedly in the background), but the characters demeanors were playing it straight and none of the jokes outlasted the punch line.
The new one plays out the jokes past their limit.
It’s also mainly the fact that they try to throw as jokes as they can in the time they have. It’s like they are rapid firing these jokes.
So essentially, you could say they went from wholesome childhood cringe to just modern self-aware cringe?
@@shotgunmasterQL The OG wasnt cringe though. It was kind of endearing and campy. The comedy here is pure cringe
Nah youre right. The humour is as if they are trying anything and everything to get a laugh.
Originally it was subtle.
I.e. Obi-Wans lightsaber didnt work and so Qui-Gon was disappointed. Or, as you said, Qui-Gon’s eyes being Xs. They are all simple but impactful jokes. The pacing isn’t affected and the story remains the same.
The new game is so blatant with the humour.
I.e. the cake Anakin made for Padme on Mustafar (???). Qui-Gon’s head banging to the tune of the Imperial March on the bottom of a Droid vehicle. It’s so meta and 4th wall breaking and it changes the story.
The best example I can show of this story changing shit is Obi-Wan’s lightsaber not working vs Anakin giving Padme a cake. One is plausible, one is entirely improbable. It doesn’t make sense in their world, the tone is off and the premise is absurd. They carry on with their dialogue as if nothing is weird. It’s so jarring and weird. The pacing is also off since these gimmicks take up so much time.
Beautiful, innocent Fringold. Never change. The way he genuinely wanted to analyze Diabeto's comment about genociding people he doesn't like and then spins it off unintentionally into a discussion about space exploration. So precious.

You guys discussing the Egyptian gods and how they have avatars in _Moon Knight_ made me realize something:
What about Bast? She's still worshiped by Wakanda as the source of the Black Panther's power, and she's even mentioned by name at one point by one of the Wakandan characters (I don't remember exactly who or where it happened); isn't Bast supposed to be in that meeting too, and if so, wouldn't that mean that the reigning Black Panther would have to show up to that meeting as Bast's avatar?
I guess it depends on the pantheon. There was more than one and to make matters more confusing they overlap. A 3000 year old nation with two dark ages separating three renaissance periods, and over 20 dynasties, is a long time for beliefs and traditions to evolve.
@@SiriusSphynx I mean, I _guess_ she'd be called "Bastet" because that's the proper feminine name in Ancient Egyptian, but being the Goddess of Cats technically means that she's *still* the Panther Goddess (and also protection was one of her many attributes, which fits perfectly with the Black Panther's duty as the Protector of Wakanda)!

02:49:00 The point of the fish is that Mark used Steven's body for a whole weekend to travel away in a mission, so when he came back he had missed the date with the girl and the fish had died, so Mark went to the pet shop to try to buy an identical fish to replace it, and the shop's clerk even pointed out that he was there earlier asking for a fish without a fin but she had already told him they didn't have handicaped fish. So Mark's mission had consequences to Steven which escalated to the point of the end of the episode when he finally learns about Mark's existence and surrenders control of the body to him so he can save them.
The date was set up by a third persona that we haven't met yet.

in ep1 Steven was the strongest part of the show, but ever since he's kind of been the weakest. the Mr knight sections are the worst parts of the series
4:40:00 Simple solution to moving the whole night sky. "I am Khonshu, God of the Moon. Within me lives the history of the night sky. Let me take you back through my eyes, so that you may find the tomb." Then Khonshu places his hands on Steven/Mark's head and he sees the stars rearrange to what used to be.
They can even put in the trippy light show they so desperately wanted since it's all just a vision in Steven and Marc's head.

This take on the "show, don't tell" writing advice is strange to me. I think you guys actually agree with the spirit of the advice more than you realize and perhaps you are misinterpreting what it means because so many people envoke this idea inappropriately. It's not necessarily about nonverbal communication of information versus verbal communication. It's about demonstrating vs. merely expositing things.
For example, if you want to communicate to your audience that a character is intelligent you can show or demonstrate their intelligence by depicting the character behaving intelligently (verbally or nonverbally). OR you can simply have other characters comment on how smart they are. If you want to communicate a close personal relationship you can demonstrate a level of kinship, familiarity, or intimacy through natural and believable behavior (verbal or nonverbal). OR you could have them just say things to each other that they both already know just to explicitly establish that they have a history for the audience's sake because the writer didn't bother demonstrating the relationship through their behavior.
The example of books communicating information in prose as a refutation of "show, don't tell" is not a good analogy at all. This show vs. tell distinction still exists in prose. The author can "show" character information through descriptions of behavior that a character is X, or just "tell" you that they are X without demonstrating it. Obviously there is grey area between the extremes of excellent writing and hacky amatuerish garbage, but the spirit of the advice is most certainly worthwhile and useful. It shouldn't be thrown out.
i’d love to hear a discussion between you guys on this
I think the problem is that "show don't tell" is often taken literally by incompetent idiots. The spirit doesn't matter if everyone just misinterprets it anyway. BTW I agree with your points about it. I just think it shouldn't be called "show don't tell" but instead something like "demonstrate instead of expositing". Even that can probably misconstrued as well.
I think they cited books as a refutation of the literal interpretation of "show dont tell".
Unfortunately, tons of people (including the person they were reacting to) take the phrase literally and treat all dialogue as strictly inferior to visual story telling.
Jay went on to (more or less) draw the distinction you made here. Or at least, his description of the spirit of "show dont tell" was in the same ballpark.
There's this problem in modern Disney and Sony and whatnot where they don't know what a punchline is. They think a punchline needs to be punchy. As a result, they end up cutting all of their good subtle jokes with bad slapstick jokes.
They also cut all of their tension with either bad slapstick jokes or bad slapstick jumpscares, for the same underlying reasons.
The problem of catering movies to test-audience reactions in a nutshell
I enjoy these meetings of Mauler (Long), Fringy (Green), Rags (sssss') and Jay (Kick).

That short about Heimerdinger is so wrong that it's actually upsetting. "Heimerdinger never helps anyone"? Dude, he goes out of his way to find and console Viktor who has just received a terminal diagnosis. It's such a hugely empathetic moment from a character who does not really know how Viktor is feeling because he's never had to contemplate dying in this way. His words of comfort are powerful and heartfelt; he tells him that he's secured a legacy that even this nigh immortal being will remember and that he's moved the world in a positive direction. Heimerdinger didn't have to do this, it's an entirely private conversation. It directly benefits him in no way so how is it anything but altruistic? This dude that made this short is so far up his own ass that's he's blind to anything but the most shallow interpretations of writing buzzwords.
Edit: ah, just heard Mauler brings up this very scene seconds after I wrote this comment lol. It just upset me so much that I had to pause and vent.

The lack of a character customizer after how extensive it was in DC Super Villains was a huge disappointment. If it wasn’t such a huge Lego collectathon, I wouldn’t be interested in getting it if I had a console to play it.

Emperor Palpatine is dead, unless he isn't.
3:09:10 I can guarantee that was the actor who lied on their application or audition and claimed to speak mandarin.
As an actor, you are far more employable if you have certain skillsets (sounds obvious but you'd be surpirsed how many fellow actors I know are not aware of this). So this leads to people lying on their credentials or even in the audition itself.
The classic one is stuff like riding a horse or stage combat. I myself used to bullshit about this until I actually learned how to do it because you're far more likely to be seen for a role. These days, lagnuage and ethnicity is a really big selling point, so if you have a certain heritage or speak a certain language, then they will absolutely snap you up.
I would bet money on this person knowing some basics of mandarin, they saw the casting call for 'someone who speaks mandarin' and then on the day they asked them to say the line in the language and they just made it up. Because no one would know or think any different, they got away with it.
It happens way more often than you realise, it's just the times that people properly fuck up that get highlighted.

The idea is that there is a layer in the atmosphere that an Aero-static colony could exist, with comparable pressure to earth, and has a relatively lower composition of the corrosive acid that makes up a large portion of Venus’ atmosphere. But the hard part is making an aero-stat colony.
For the Halo show, I think the most baffling decision for me is the change in the... I guess indoctrination process with the Spartan-II's. In the games, the UNSC doctors explicitly are against the idea of wiping the memories of the Spartans' old families that they're taken from as children because they are fully aware that if they do so and a Spartan somehow regains those memories, it will lead to insubordination and turning on the UNSC. This is especially bad because they are the best of the best, regardless of any physical or mental degradations that most likely will arise from the Spartan Programs, so having them turn on the government or even just let loose is a dangerous possibility. Henceforth the UNSC being open about the fact that they're child soldiers who have either been taken from their families or given up, because they'll have grown up knowing the why and the where of their old life.
Three guesses as to what the scientists opted for in the show, with all that knowledge.

So, on the Moon Knight "star" question. An honest attempt to explain what we saw:
1) It _has_ to be an illusion, because the laws of physics forbid him from actually moving the stars in real time. What we see is not the present, but, in fact _the past,_ because the light from the stars needs to travel for a _long, long time._
And, according to Einstein, light travels at the maximum possible speed. You cannot, therefore, speed it up. Therefore it is _impossible_ to re-arrange stars in such a manner that it would be perceivable _in real time,_ even if we ignore the sheer amount of energy required to do such a feat.
2) If it is an illusion, therefore, yes, everyone can see it and not just our hero. "Illusion", in this case, being "a fake visual, that the viewer might perceive as real".
3) It is _impossible_ to create an illusion of something that you have no knowledge of.
I'll explain with an example: please, draw a realistic portrait of my mother.
Even if you have the mechanical skills, you can't do it. You don't know what my mother looks like. Creating a realistic image of the night sky as it was 2000 years ago is equally impossible, unless you have a perfect memory and know _exactly_ what it looked like.
In which case - just take a pencil and a piece of paper and draw it, rather than invoking high-tier magic, you absolute wastrel.
4) Since we've established that it is, in fact, an illusion. the accompanying "special effects" are just that - they're additional illusions, added by the creature that cast the illusion in the first place. I suppose they like to be flashy.
So, that was *the absolute best faith interpretation I could give.* I'm being _extremely_ charitable, and it's still stupid. It could've been accomplished with a rough sketch, rather than magic.
@Sailor Paladin - it's a fantasy TV show... christ nobody is saying that it's meant to be able to be anything close to reality.
@@drliamo9049 it's a fantasy TV show that isn't explaining anything about its fantastical elements and is actively damaging the worldbuilding of the MCU. Why are you saying this as if it answers any of their points?
Speaking of Paladin's points, the _SORCERER SUPREME_ Dr. Strange should have a way of detecting massive magical outputs, like what Khonshu is doing, which means he should already be there with his portal spells and starts grilling Moon Knight on what's happening.

I don't know if you're familiar with geocentrism, probably. But that model has a fatal flaw, that if distances in space are the same, then I believe even Uranus has to move faster than the speed of light to circle the earth every day. And that's in real time, and only as far as Uranus. Of course geocentrism has catastrophic consequences for objects further away from Earth. But if this show moves the universe that fast, then I think even as far as Mars would have to move at FTL speeds lol.
But also if it's an illusion, what is he doing? Is he calculating the star movements in quasi realtime? Why can't he just snap and bam the stars are in the correct place. Why does he need this spinning back the wheels of time nonsense? This show is stupid.
i think they were using an app of some kind, so a rough sketch would not have worked. But everything else you've said is correct
Ammit or Ammut was the god of divine retribution, in egyptian mythology when a person dies their heart (AKA Soul) is placed on the Maat. The Maat is a set of scales and the soul is weighed against a feather. Sin weighs down the soul, and good acts lifts it up. The culmination of you're good and bad deeds is judged, not the fact you did a bad thing . If your soul has too much sin Ammit eats your soul and you cease to exist. The Cult does not understand Ammit. Out of all the egyptian gods to make a villain out of this is a strange choice because ammit is an impartial judge of the dead, along with anubis and Osiris is lord over them both as king of the underworld

Now we know that Mauler is actually Michael Bay!
Also on the Moonknight “waking up and not realizing what day it is” thing, it seems fair to me that he doesn’t realize considering he wakes up the majority of the way through the day. If he went through an entire day normally and never figured it out, that would be one thing. Instead, he wakes up, notices the fish, goes to pet store, notices the time, goes home and gets ready, and goes straight to the restaurant. Seems pretty plausible.
How was Marc supposed to have caught up to the cult in Egypt when he first go there? He had no idea even what direction they headed in?

I wanted to comment on the "show, don't tell" discussion:
The reason the term feels a little vague or insufficient when applied to visual media (I believe Jay said something like "convey information to the audience in a natural way" would be better) is because the "rule" of "show, don't tell" was originally devised for literary writing. The term is often attributed to Russian writer Anton Chekov (famous for his gun), who told his brother something to the effect of "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass."
In literary media, _everything_ is conveyed to the audience through your prose, and so "show, don't tell" is supposed to apply to _everything_ you do, from character emotions to actions in the narrative to the details of the setting, hence why the rule may seem so lacking when applied to visual media. In literary writing, you shouldn't _tell_ us a character is angry, you should _show_ us their anger through their dialogue, poses, facial expressions, etc.; don't _tell_ us two characters had a sword duel, _show_ us the thrusts and slashes and parries, and all of the tension, danger and investment that comes with it; don't _tell_ us a house the character's are visiting is old and decrepit, _show_ us the antique furniture, the faded paint, the dust-covered curios, the worn carpets, etc.
With visual media, it's almost inevitable that most of these things, aside from character emotions and backstory, will be shown by the very nature of the medium (though admittedly, sometimes you will get clunky dialogue where characters just tell things that were already shown by the visuals). It isn't really possible (or at least I can't think of any exceptions at the moment) for visual media to "tell" something instead of "showing" it to the audience outside of character dialogue, hence why you guys (who primarily focus on critiquing visual media) seem to hone in on dialogue so much when discussing the "rule" of "show, don't tell" as it applies to the craft of writing.
Fringy not knowing what photons are is the best part of this EFAP
That redditor goblin story at 6:59:00 was great. I want to see an animated rendition of this, voiced by a British man.
I don't know what's more insulting, the fact that Luke was a "boss fight", or that he was the easiest boss in the game.
Sonic 2 is only really a "faithful" adaptation in the sense that it has a bunch of recognisable iconography from the games. Mechanically, as to how those things function, they are nothing like their game counterparts. Sonic is a completely different character, Tails is a completely different character, Eggman is a completely different character, the nature of the master and chaos emeralds is completely different. The lore behind the echidna tribe is completely different, the story's themes are completely different, the structure of the setting is completely different, and I could go on. It's only really "faithful" in the most surface level sense of the word, because the more you actually compare the film to the games, the easier it is to see how radically different the two are.
Knuckles is pretty close, though
That isn't necessarily a point of criticism of the film; I don't really care how faithful an adaptation is so long as it's good, but so much of the conversation surrounding Sonic 2 is about how supposedly faithful it is when that isn't true at all in any substantive manner
Also on the matter of typical speedster issues, this should theoretically be the easiest thing to solve in regards to Sonic if they just adapted how his speed mechanically works in the games. In the games, Sonic can't just zoom off at top speed from a standstill, he needs to build up from typical jogging speed, and he does have a natural top speed, that he can only breech by using gravity and sloped terrain to his advantage. Pretty sure no narratively driven adaptation of the character has ever even tried to address that as an issue, and it's really frustrating when the solution has been staring them in the face since day one
Knuckles is nothing like he is in the games. Tails is a much closer adaptation. Tails is a fanboy with huge respect for Sonic and confidence issues. That was a big part of his character for years. Knuckles is a warrior who doesn't understand fun or social norms because he's spent his entire life as a warrior. Compare that to OG Knuckles, who is a cheeky defender who works with Eggman. He smiles a lot. Adventure Knuckles is serious but clearly understands social norms. He's just more stoic and prefers to keep to himself. He has plenty of moments where he is in a group and fine but doesn't partake in the fun despite clearly getting it. He's serious. Sonic X Knuckles (or Knuckles after Heroes) is a hyper temperamental angry boy who's not dumb but very naive and tends to go to anger before logic but also seems to have an easy time to enjoy fun. None of these match movie Knuckles.
I really like Movie Knuckles but he is a very different character to anything we've ever had before this. I also agree with your overall point that this is in no way faithful besides iconography and that's ok as long as it's good. And it IS good... when it focuses on any non-human character. The human characters are awful and the only good scene with Tom is the first one in the boat.
@@shadowofdimentio4618 Looking at Sonic 3K, Knuckles in that game is basically the exact same as he is in the movie, they've just changed the context. Knuckles is dead-serious and ignorant of the outside world. He's very direct, one-track minded with a single goal having encompassed his entire life and easy to manipulate because of that disposition.
Future games might have ret-conned or misinterpreted his lack of worldly knowledge to just treat him like a moron, and I think that's kinda shit, but considering 3K, the movie plays him pretty straight without changing his character too much, as opposed to what they did with Sonic where he hardly even resembles his game counterpart.
And not every game is consistent in treating him like a moron either, SA2 and Zero Gravity are pretty good at respecting him, for instance, with Knuckles' stage themes in SA2 actually doubling down on the idea that he isn't just stupid, but just lacks experience with the outside world in their lyrics.
Knuckles is nothing like his Sonic 3K Counterpart. Movie Knuckles is obsessed with warrior culture and avenging his people. He goes after Sonic for both a clue at finding the master emerald and to defeat him in combat. He does not understand social cues or how to interact with people. he is not just ignorant of human culture, but of his own as well. He doesn't understand what fun is for goodness sake. He spends the entire movie arguing against Eggman not because he thinks Sonic is an enemy (which he still does think) but because Eggman offers him the ability to find something his people sought for. He is hyper serious, doesn't understand jokes too well and is quite stand-offish.
Now lets look at the Knuckles from the genesis games. You say the above is true for Sonic 3K, but Knuckles in that game works with Eggman because Eggman convinces Knuckles Sonic is the bad guy. Eggman doesn't offer Knuckles much of anything and plays on his naïve trusting nature. Knuckles, as stated in the Sonic 3 manual (which is where character must be found) states he is both clever and loves using traps. This makes sense as in-game he is often seen defeating Sonic with traps and not any sort of warrior mantra. He seems to put his duty before honour which is a big no-no for movie Knuckles. He is not dead serious like movie Knuckles as he is seen laughing at almost every single opportunity. Knuckles doesn't chuckle my ass. Sure he's easy to manipulate like in the games but Sonic is also someone who wants to help people like in the games. That's a shallow thing to find as common ground especially when Knuckles in the movie is tricked by Eggman basically doing all the mind work while Knuckles does the grunt work. They're a team and if Eggman wasn't useful, Knuckles would have ditched him back at the cliff. Game Knuckles believes Eggman due to his trusting nature and Sonic's general attitude (he comes in with a super form). Knuckles is simply a nice guy. Very different ways they were tricked. Other Genesis Games also show Knuckles as overall more light hearted than you've described, as does the OVA which is important in being the only animated source for Knuckles during that era. Tails is closer to his game counterpart and Knuckles is completely different outside sharing the same general motivation and (very loosely) backstory.
I agree that dumb Knuckles is dumb and I miss quiet, angry but not stupid Knuckles. The new era of colours-present (legacy Sonic as some have started calling it) has really just destroyed a lot of characters. At least dark age had its charm. Movie Knuckles was a good interpretation of the character that is not faithful to any game but stands on its own as a solid character. Movie Sonic is a bit too childish for me and I do wish we had gotten actual Sonic (pre colours please. Anything buy Legacy Sonic and his smugness).
I don't think Knuckles got bad till 06 (and Shadow maybe? I forget a lot of that game due to the story being just a jumbled mess that started edgy hedgie Shadow). Adventure Knuckles (Which I define as Knuckles in adventure to Heroes) is my favourite portrayal of the character. He''s calm, makes rational decisions and is overall not afraid to have fun or be a member of a larger group, but is still clearly happy to be by himself. He has great moments of intelligence and doesn't really show any stupidity. I consider Zero Gravity as being part of Dark Age Knuckles (Sonic X/Shadow-Free Riders). Zero gravity and X are probably the best takes at 'dumb' Knuckles where they give him lots of great moments to show his calm side and what he can do whilst also giving his temper moments actual substance. But it's still dark age Knuckles. I have a huge fondness in my heart for it but it did hurt his character substantially. If we got zero gravity Knuckles from now on I'd be happy.
Also song lyrics are not a good way to examine a character. 'Unlike Sonic I don't chuckle' comes to mind. The lyric writer also put in a lot of dumb lines if I remember. Even if they were all amazing, if they contradict what's actually shown then they're useless as evidence of character. That being said Knuckles in the adventure games rocks. Sega please bring him back.
So yeah, you have to show me how Tails fails to match his character in Sonic X, Adventure and late dark age games while giving examples of Knuckles matching his better. I feel like they nailed Tails in the movie and all he was missing was screentime.
Now all we can do is wait for Shadow and see if they can hit another home run (for the sonic cast anyway. Humans all sucked)
oh man so there are egyptian gods? did they get snapped? why did they not yoink thanos into the sun? No one knows? the MCU is actually braindead. Its like there are 10 thanos level villains around and no one gave a shit about egtting snapped

@@darkpuppetlordful The MCU was supposed to make comics content more approachable, and yet became just as convoluted as the source material.
@@mrshmuga9 I'd argue it's reaching a point of being actually more convoluted. Like comics are goofy, but you usually just have to start with #1 from whatever year you wanna start with for each story.
But the MCU now requires Movies, TV, and I believe even a scant few comics. Soon we'll hit our first MCU reset and BOOM comics are no longer in the same realm of goofy
Bro they said they didn’t want to intervene in human affairs and they live in a parallel dimension, you brain dead not the mcu
They just exist to observe, not to actually do anything....so this makes Khonshu the only one not an asshole when it comes to Thanos. This is riveting storytelling

Speaking of Lego Skywalker Saga… social media has made the “life cycle” of a game toxic.
Hype > Release where everyone gushes > Dissent is belittled > Months later people start to agree > New game announced, cycle repeats.
Not that it didn’t happen before, but social media makes it much worse. That first week or so people are playing it, is the online honeymoon phase where everyone gushes about it, and feels reinforced to feel that way (with “likes” or seeing/sharing any minute cool detail). It gives people a sense of community. Anyone with mild criticisms will get looked at as “nitpicking/overly critical/ungrateful” (heretic, “let people enjoy things”). Then, _months later,_ some or more will admit the criticisms were valid. Others will think the game is still good because they haven’t thought about it since, and their first impression was influenced by social media “good vibes”. Next game comes out and the cycle repeats. It’s really annoying, especially when people have such a low bar for what’s “good”. Games could be SO much better, but people are easily influenced by others online or visuals to even think twice about their experience.
I don’t care much about Lego games, but TSS piqued my interest because it looked like they were taking it to the next level (more types of combat, open areas). It’s unfortunate that it turned out to be barely a game at all.
Someone finally put it in words...the toxic positivity surrounding games (and films too) on social media are killing these products and the very idea of quality. Just consume product and then get excited for next product.
@@auroraSLAP Toxic positivity is arguably worse than toxic negativity especially in the entertainment sphere with movies, shows and games
@@auroraSLAP I honestly wonder if people even finish these games or just rush through them with such little thought. Because it certainly comes off like they play them mindlessly.
Example, everyone was saying Pokemon Legends Arceus is the best pokemon game ever and how amazing it is and so on. Now, I think it _does_ have one or two core mechanics that are addictive (and plenty of QoL fixes). And it's headed in the right direction... but it's very clearly someone's 1st attempt at a (semi) open-world game. Very basic and bland outside that one hook.
Fast-forward to Elden Ring. Some Ubisoft devs got butthurt and said some dumb things. People made a mock image of "If Ubisoft made Elden Ring" (UI flooded with boxes and map markers). I've only played one Assassin's Creed game (years ago), but despite the constant dunking on the series, I'm willing to bet it's still better fleshed out than PLA. Yes, PLA is achieving something new _for the series,_ but now that it's dipped it's toe in the open-world genre, it should be compared to its contemporaries. And it does not hold up well. And now that Scarlet/Violet are going to be open-world (and I assume retain some key mechanics of PLA) it won't even hold up within the series or even the year it released. Even more reason it couldn't be delayed to make it better, because it would get too close to S/V and wouldn't stand a chance.
I guess in a long way I'm saying, people have a bigotry for low expectations for almost _everything_ now. Expecting quality, working at launch, no micro-transactions or anything above the bare minimum (sometimes not even that) is seen as "expecting too much". "Go easy on them". No. If I'm paying AAA prices or it's a AAA production, I expect high quality. What are you paying all these people for if we're getting mediocre or crappy products anyway?
@@mrshmuga9 I can confirm Pokémon is rife with this attitude within its fanbase
@@mrshmuga9 That Elden Ring vs Ubi open world circlejerk was something else... people made 10-20 minute essays about the virgin ubi open world and the chad elden ring one, but it only boils down to map markers and nothing more. Sure, you have to look around more in ER to find dungeons, but the rewards are pretty abysmal. I can not really see the difference between clearing out the Nth copy-pasted dungeon with reused just to get a weapon that will 99% rot in your bonfire box because you already haver a much better in slot/does not fit your build or a spell/summon you will likely not use, and clearing out a copy pasted outpost in AC Odyssey for some XP. The important landmarks are either really obvious (like the siofra elevator) or already marked (mines with bearings, map obelisks, structures). If on subsequent runs you ACTIVELY ignore 99% of the overworld, it is not the sign of a great open world...
Thankfully ER is slowly getting into the 'Months later people start to agree' phase. It is funny to see how content creators are starting to make 'elden ring is maybe not that perfect' videos, and the comments are getting more reasonable too. I liked ER but criticism is really important, the last thing I want is ER2 electric boogaloo, with the same god awful lazy design.

Isn't MauLer's favorite film Terminator 2? Or Predator?
I mean, the dude might think he has a chance if it's T2, but Predator is damn near bulletproof.
And funny thing is, MauLer has already listed all of the known writing flaws in both of those movies on Drinker's "Open Bar" streams... so this dude isn't going to be convincing anybody of anything...
MauLer should do the debate anyway though. I loved the Not So Great Debate.

Regarding finding the location based on the stars, your local planetarium can do the same thing without breaking the cosmos. Maybe do that next time Konshu and don't get yourself imprisoned in stone.
So, what you're telling me is, Lego Skywalker saga has the same problem as dc villains and dc heroes 3, where worlds are large with small quests, with strange free time between missions.
And for you wondering, no, marvel 1 and dc 2 don't have the same problem because they keep the free play moments short and contained
Worse, batman 3 has actual levels
I don't mind it. Don't know why, but an idea of a small planet seems kinda cool to me.
Couldn't make it past episode 3. This was the point where I gave up on the Marvel shows. Never touched She Hulk, and from what I've heard, that was the correct choice.
For moon knight it kind of feels like the writers keep forgetting that earth isn't the centre of the universe and in the mcu has a heliocentric model then having a hero powers and a God from a mythology using geocentric model and same for shanchi the mythology is geocentric and the writers are doing next to nothing to account for it.
If the mcu was geocentric then moving the sky would be fine it's just moving the ceiling but in a heliocentric it's moving billions of giant spheres of plasma
Basically mcu have no clue how space works and only look up and see pretty colours in the sky
I assumed it was just turning back the look of the sky. Like a giant snowglobe..
I think people might be taking the worst faith stance against it and I know I'm playing devils advocate and I'm not really a huge fan of the show by a longshot but I didn't have any reason to think they messed with actual space because the limited power of the gods already.
Next you'll tell me gamma radiation doesn't make me green and mad and large.
@@jakesmith5713 he clearly just moved the « night sky » back from their point of view.
5:41:38 Yeah Rags is correct with the Romulans / Vulcans comparison for Cad Bane & Nute Gunray's species. They're diff evolutions of the same species
I liked sonic 2. Even with it's flaws I had fun watching it which I can't say the same for many movies these days.
Guess No one in Marvel has ever heard you can get a free program on your computer that will show you the star locations from thousands of years in the past into the future.
The bitch even HAD a computer with her…
That doesn’t really help you when you have a tool that requires the stars in the sky to be in those positions to use them to navigate
@@Abysalss You can use the program to see the stars and get the bearings from that.
@@80krauser that's not that fucking easy to triangulate a physical location my dude.
@@cameronroy2129 They have a magic computer already. It didn’t have any problems.
Edit. And the program I got with my telescope as a kid would show you the compass ticks on the screen. I imagine the ones today would even show you the degrees up from the ground and from zenith the stars would be.
It’s hilarious to see the real thing after the endless praise.
The new engine is undoubtedly where a few of these issues crop up from, owing to the ease of use implementing standard features. “I.e” multiple actions for 1 button contextually based on where the player is and what they are doing.
5:27:32, I am actually the one who posted the arc on Reddit, it was from my now deleted account u/KingBeefyMollusk, really weird for me to know that my poorly made reddit post actually amused the crew.
So about not knowing what the date it is... I spend a lot of time at my laptop. It has today's date displayed all the time in the right bottom corner. I also take a look at my phone from time to time when I'm out to check the time among other things. And there also is date displayed just below the clock, just in much smaller font. And with all this, even though it seems ridiculous, every time I am doing a delivery that requires signature and writing the date... I have to actively look it up on my phone. Cause all that time having the date displayed right in front of me doesn't matter cause I'm not paying attention to that information and my brain doesn't pick it up until I actually need that bit of info.
So yeah. Maybe I'm a total weirdo, but I can definitely see that happening for me. If I lost a few days of memories, I would learn about it when something date specific came up.
On the very basic conceptual level I love the setup of the stars shifting, Steven knowing that fact, and Khonshu having perfect knowledge of the night sky being able to recreate it the way it was in the past. It's a nice moment to play off of and highlight the abilities and knowledge of the characters involved.
I don't know if they move enough in 2000 years for it to make a difference, but that would certainly be something I could look past through suspension of disbelief even if it's not 100% accurate.
But they went full "spectacle over logic / substance" and threw the entire premise out the window with a massively stupid display. I have to assume it's an illusion because actually moving the stars is too stupid to even consider, but a mass illusion encompassing the entire world is also extremely silly, just not cosmically destructive.
It would have been so easy to just have Khonshu showing this to Steven only. It could have still been a big fancy moment with impressive effects just by showing the audience what Steven was seeing through Khonshu. Heck, they probably could have done it the exact same way except cutting the scenes of other characters reacting to it, and adding a simple scene of Steven appearing to be in a trance or something.
My guess is that they went full moron because they needed a narrative reason to get rid of Khonshu for a bit and they couldn't be bothered to come up with something not incredibly stupid.
Why you assume he can only show it to Steven ?
+ they needed the star apps to find the constellation so he couldn’t make it only in Steven head.
3:41:56 I get that we don't know because our POV "blacked out" and we didn't see it, but how did they get from the marketplace location to up on some cliff? Seems like a drastic location swap, while still dealing with the same "minions" to me. From the roof to the taxi is fine. That's not that far and they say he let them go a minute ago. But, this one seems like a huge leap that's difficult to reconcile.
The funny thing about the civilisation talk that in the ancient mesopotamia and egypt they were pretty good at astronomy as well, because they were obsessed by the night sky so even there know when it is propable a eclipse. Not everyone, but they were pretty good at this concrete subject.
It would have been funny to have Konshu say he needs to move the stars and just have Steven say "Uh no, I have an app for that."
I think Angry Joe's review of Sonic 2 put it perfectly when he said "the highs of this movie are higher than the first, but the lows are lower."
EDIT: Also, 5:06:48. Jay is clearly a person of culture for that reference lol
That’s exactly how I’ve described Batman Returns vs Batman 1989
im at the point now where they're changing the stars in the night sky, and to quote batman "if i had a week i couldn't list all the reasons that wouldn't work"
Their star chart Moon Knight has is just the constellation Orion. Without a horizon you can't find latitude and without a horizon and an exact time you can't find longtitude, so it's literally just a diagram of Orion with no further meaning. Even if all the information WAS included, holes poked in a piece of papyrus or whatever wouldn't be precise enough to locate something like a tomb.
Also, why is the star chart shaped like a five pointed star? That's not why it's called a star chart.
It's shaped like a five-pointed star because the writers and director think the audience wouldn't know it's a star chart unless it looked like the stereotypical depiction of a star.
Plenty of Lego games are on sale right now. Might as well try those instead.
Pretty sure literally all of them are better
Batman 3 has a fully fledged story with real levels with gameplay and a chunky open world where you can visit different planets(tbf it felt a bit bloated but it's still better)
Do it. Get the Lego Batman collection for much better open world games.
Not to defend the mask removal trope, because I hate it, but if it makes sense anywhere it's in No Way Home. His identity is public, so there's no reason to fear removing it. And yet it still makes sense for Pete to wear it in fights because it's armored as has gizmos and whatever. Again, this trope is pretty stupid most of the time, but I think it works just fine in No Way Home.
I can't believe that the developers were so stupid that when referring to Anakin saying that no one can kill a Jedi, they had Qui Gon say, "I guess Anakin was right about the Jedi." That's like saying, "I guess Hitler was right about the Jews." In reference to Hitler one time saying, "Jews come from Israel." No one is going to think of that quote, they're going to think of the Genocide that was committed!!!
Did Fringy forget that "3" was the TLJ level of bad movie? Did he actually explained his position well enough to justify the "3 or 4 out of 10" rating for Sonic 2 movie? I didn't watch the movie yet (late premiere here in Poland - April 22nd), but I was wondering if the Gooman justified that statement with any coagent arguments? I obviously can't see that part because of spoilers, but I'm curious.
He stated that it was essentially due to the plot, mainly in the areas of convenience and all the issues with sonic. I disagree on it being a 3/4 out of 10, although it wouldn’t be much higher and we all grade films differently. All I really care about, from a sonic film, is enjoyment, and I got my fair share. I couldn’t care less if it’s good so I don’t necessarily have an issue with frongy’s statement.
I think you care a bit too much about numerical ratings. They don't nearly matter as much as the comments and resonings behind it.
Tism stops him from explaining himself correctly
@@koben333 Yeah, but the quality and overall "feel" of the movie is usually portrayed by those. That's why I was surprised by the rating. Nevertheless I will watch the movie when it comes out here and see that part of the stream later.
@@bazatronmurphy8596 Nah, that’s just the limits of the Australian dialect.
In the time of Ancient Egypt the North Star was in Draco instead of Ursa Minor. But that was like 5 thousand years ago not 2 thousand.
The panel, and the guy saying Konshu getting locked up should prove its not just an illusion seem to have missed or forgotten that the other gods said "we dont want humans knowing we exist, dont do shit that draws attention."
Yeah I feel like they had a couple of bad points and takes on moon knight, or seemingly complained about things that they apparently didn't mind, like the guy licking the knife
@@stevenwatcher2107 They've kind of admitted, at least MauLer has, to not paying as much attention when they lose interest.
Everyone seems to have missed Layla saying Mark sent her divorce papers, missed that the Egyptian gods don't want to be known, missed that Konshu was banished for getting involved in human affairs still.
Hell Fringy says even invisible the security camera's should have still shown the monster knocking stuff over, even though the monster never knocked anything over.
Show's got issues for sure but man they get a lot wrong.
@@redbearington3345 Yeah there is a lot that they seemed to miss and a lot of really bad faith arguments or even nitpicks like complaining about how shiny things were
That’s when you make 9 hours podcast only on shit you don’t like.
@@ni9274 but they don’t?
3:47:37 - Actually, the villain in Part 5 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure communicates with his alter-ego in a similar way. The more you know!
So in defense of Moon Knight (I do think they're right about it getting worse as it's gone on, but just):
- I don't know what Rags and co. mean about Steven phasing out/getting taken over by Marc in order to beat people up is "done once and then they sort of forget about it", when it happens minutes later in the van chase, and again at the end of the pilot, and again for the second episode's big fight. And I mean, EFAP goes over those scenes too, so... I must not understand what they mean as "being done once and dropped".
- I can only vouch for myself; I've definitely been able to go an entire day without realizing the date, even while going into public areas, or using this very computer which tells me the date in the top right. I just don't look at it sometimes. In Steven's case, he knew he had a date for what he thought was "today". It's unusual that he wouldn't check just to be sure, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. He may have checked his watch, only, for the time.
- Layla did send Steven texts, but he just didn't check. Again, because he was sure of the date. And after just a few hours (at least the way my phone works is), your phone doesn't buzz or chime to let you know you missed anything. So when Steven wakes up (a day?) late, he wouldn't be notified/compelled to check the phone beyond his own curiosity. From my own experience, I do not habitually check my phone when I'm planning to meet someone somewhere. Not unless I'm notified first, or I realize someone must be running late.
- I do not agree at all with MauLer at 3:01:40 that Marc and/or Khonshu would logically push Steven to seek a mental asylum. How would that *not* hinder them even more?
- Don't *fully* understand the group's dislike of Layla being so standoffish with Marc. I agree she shouldn't have ever threatened to kick him off the bike, since she definitely intends to confront him with something shortly. I also agree they really dance around important conversation in the apartment; that bugged me, how they don't get down to business, and Steven doesn't seem to attempt a thorough explanation. BUT, she thinks Marc is playing along with a cover. Why would she immediately assume Marc has been possessed by ANOTHER identity besides Khonshu? The only way you can gauge how a normal person would react to this is your own reaction... which doesn't speak for Layla.
- I can see how a knife is a more.. intimate? way of threatening someone, but why Rags has an issue with the very concept of threatening someone by holding them over a ledge... I don't get at all. It totally stills works. "I'm going to drop you if you don't tell me X. My fingers are slipping, you'd better tell me quick." What's the issue here? If Marc doesn't want to actually hurt the young guy in any way, then an all-or-nothing threat is definitely more in-character than taking off fingers with a knife.
- Marc does mention to Steven (in the storage in unit scene, or maybe the last bit of ep 2?) that reflective surfaces are good gateway for communication, and that the rest of the time, the dormant personality is practically drowning, and they then REALLY have to fight to get through.
- 3:56:31 Don't remember the Egyptian gods saying their powers have diminished. They mention they've locked other meddlesome gods away, because a majority of them feel they have long had no business, trying to influence humanity anymore. This is like a slight improvement over Eternals, where there were also celestial beings deciding not to use their agents to control the fate of humanity... but in Eternals' case, the Celestials *definitely* needed their agents to stop threats like Ultron and Thanos. Anyway, I did not get the impression that the Egyptian gods *want* worship anymore. It was just them pointing out that they are no longer widely recognized by humanity as true deities. They seem to be in self-exile. The part I agree with is that, yeah, representing these very interesting mythological figures as a bland hive-mind that does very little in the way of investigation, for this alleged apocalyptic event... seriously underwhelming.
- Khonshu rolling back the night sky two-thousand years, as I understood it, was only an illusion. It's his memory of the night sky, by his own words. Rags says there's clearly a passage/reversal of *time*, because we see stars moving, but.. I don't think the show thinks the sky is a flat image, and I don't think we are meant to interpret this as literal stars being rearranged. It is a projection of Khonshu's knowledge. He's a god of the night. and Moon. A Moon Night, If You Will. Doesn't seem like a problem to me. Khonshu creates an image in the full range of vision for him and Steven to observe. Their field of vision of the sky would extend some other parts of Egypt, because the sky is pretty big. It may be that the whole "nighttime side" of Earth right now (where the sun is not obscuring other stars), is seeing this. Khonshu has to do this for the benefit of Steven and Layla, because even though Khonshu remembers the particular night... what is he going to do, describe it to them? He has to show them, clearly. Why does Fringy keep questioning if Khonshu has this knowledge or not? Fringy says he doesn't understand the concept of an illusion explanation for this, and I don't see why. I think he is simply... disillusioned.
- I'm still on the sky thing. MauLer takes a suggestion of chat that Khonshu could've instead reminisced about the night they need?.. and Rags concurs... now the tables have been turned, where I don't understand that at all. Again, what is Khonshu going to do, describe to Steven the subtle locational differences of the constellation? And then Steven and Layla would exchange a look, and go... "Um, k, can you like show us? We do in fact need to be able to see said sky, otherwise we can't get the location we need." Does Khonshu speak in longitude and latitude? Can he tell a computer what he knows? Probably not. That's why he's *showing this to Steven and Layla*
- MauLer even suggests that a fix to the sky scene is, Khonshu could just move some of the stars, ever so slightly, instead of doing a full rewind. Well, Earth still has multitudes of telescopes and satellites watching the sky. So humans would still realize, to some capacity, that stars just moved out of nowhere, in a very irregular fashion. Now, whether or not any researchers or stargazers realized this immediately, the Egyptian gods would still see this too. And know Khonshu defied them again. And they would imprison him, just like they do in the show. Nothing changes, except for the extravagance of the lights display. So. Yes, the show went with the more impressive shot.
4:47:52 Beyond GotG Vol. 3? No. ;-;
Bonus thing they didn't mention. In the rooftop fight, the youngest guy throws a knife at Marc, and then disappears for several moments where (if he still had been in the fight, as he should) Marc might have been overpowered. Instead, we finally see the young guy again, knocked out in the top right of the screen. I cannot fathom the choreographer not realizing this, so I assume this is down to editing... which is truly sloppy.
@tea I think that was Rags lamenting the state of movies and shows, in general. Not that this scene, specifically, engaged in character assassination. Maybe he also means when Steven tries to calm the fight in episode 3, but immediately gives up his principles when he keeps getting attacked. For the record, I don't think that's character assassination myself, I just don't really like that they took a nice quality of Steven's morals and used it for a joke... rather than actually having him be a diplomat for the scene. I know I know, we need some fights scenes for our superhero show... but Marc and Layla totally didn't need to fight the black market buyers. Certainly not with such lethality. They could've tried to explain what they want to stop Harrow from doing. The buyers weren't on Harrow's side after all.
@tea Just trying to play devil's advocate, I don't really have big problems with any of the fight. But again, I was saying that Rags meant character assassination of Steven, not Marc and Layla, for that scene: That Steven strongly objecting to the violence was passed up for the joke.
5:21:24 That accent is perfect! Only downside is I might become paranoid someone will do that to one of my comments if I mistype something.
I honestly loved Sonic 2. Better than the first one. I give it 7.5/10. The ending baseball game was so wholesome.
(But yes, the wedding scene was completely worthless)
Why no notification of when this was live Suzan?
yeah what the FUCK
I'm a little confused about something. Oscar Isaac was born in Guatemala to a Guatemalan mother and a Cuban father. Yet, he's played a fair amount of Middle Eastern characters. I don't actually care. I'm just unclear on if that's allowed or not. I didn't think actors were allowed to play characters that don't match their identity, anymore, whether you could tell by their appearance or not. I thought that was no longer acceptable. Or is that just in cases where we actually care about offending who's being represented?
I didn't know the jetpack was infinite in the OG Lego Star Wars game. In the Complete Saga, if you hovered with Jango/Boba Fett a certain distance you fell down. However if you hovered in place it would be infinite.
I am guessing the commenter Mauler responds to in the beginning only played The Complete Saga.
