And this failure is the fault if cops who made extreme measures necessary by their refusal to modernize or hold themselves accountable.

He doesn't have to be the same age to be a foil

I dont think he EVER was the same age until the Smallville show. Smallville is not canon

You may be right there

Zikten posted...

I always saw him a little older. Superman is like 30 to 35 to me. In the comics. Maybe he could be younger in the first movie. Lex in the main comics timeline is definitely at least 40 to me.

Look at him

Oh definitely, but since they're doing Supe's first time in Metropolis I think having him be a bit younger to match him would fit.

Zikten posted...

They can make Cranston look a little younger with cgi and make up

Hes not super young. In the comics he is like 50 maybe

Hes the same age as Supes roughly, important since he's supposed to be a foil for him.

Forever Evil was when Earth 3 showed up in New 52. Lex ended up helping the Justice League and eventually became part of the Justice League. Later he ends up getting tech from Apokolips and started wearing Superman's Shield.

He's still a dick and loves himself but fights for 'justice'. Some guy put a gun to this woman's head and he told him if Lex did anything, he'd kill her and Lex said "Do it" and then told him what would happen if he did it. The dude gave in. It was pretty killer.

Well apparently I need to read some New 52

A man is accidentally released from prison significantly early for a violent but not deadly crime. The mistake isn't caught for years, and in that time he not only stays clean but becomes a model citizen, starting a family and career and helping out his neighborhood frequently.

When the mistake is caught, given his progress, should he remain free or finish his sentence?

What they should give us is Superlex. That's something I want more of. Forever Evil's greatest asset was giving us a good guy Lex Luthor.

There have been a few versions of good guy lex and while idk thay one I'm always down for it, though maybe let us get real lex first

DarthDemented posted...

Me. I should play Luthor. I can act cartoonishly evil

It's not so much evil as "I'm legitimately better than you on just about any superficial standard but the world is obsessed with the one person better than me and I can't stand it"

Basically Ozymandius with more ego

They have no authority to order him back. Any attempt to bring him back is kidnapping.

Sorry but do I know you?

WHAT Justice??

Wait is this not the porn parody board?

I really need to read titles before I post.

And don't give me that "we've been raving about it for years" crap nobody has ever talked about this show before this moment

RyukSan posted...

Someone more intimidating looking then the guy they chose last time.

Not sure who's idea it was to make Lex a nerdy looking guy who gave off spaz vibes.

I liked what they were trying but yeah, Eisenberg was just not good. Lacked charisma and ego on top of intimidation.

I wanna see either full purple suit or president Luthor.

Then don't make it a choice.

toreysback posted...

that's how it is when i walk, with the extra factor that detroit drivers are incapable of seeing pedestrians. twice i have almost been hit by a driver turning through my crosswalk, with me having the right of way, because they were in a hurry and because i should not exist in this, the motor city.

lol there's a crosswalk I used to go by frequently where they'd give a green right into an ongoing cross signal, I got flipped off and yelled at so many times

bigblu89 posted...

That's like saying cautiously going through a red light is safter that stopping, because the guy behind you might rear end you.

Nah he's absolutely right. I'd jaywalk on my walk to work at one of my old jobs, because while there were crossings, people are unpredictable, and by picking when and where I cross I could easily cross when there weren't any people. On top of that several crosswalks are terribly designed, with turns into in use crosswalks happening regularly both from red light rights and from green lights inexplicably given while pedestrians have a signal.

Nah, unlikely to top Game of Thrones with Kaiju

Which is?

Tyranthraxus posted...

But all they need is a good PC and an emulator

Just another troll then. Moving on.

Tyranthraxus posted...

I don't understand what the big deal is.

We know you don't understand. We tried to fix that but you made it difficult.

tldr: a major gaming corporation witholding a common practice from a major gaming news group because they didn't like that they said something absolutely true that didn't hurt anyone is bad. Period.

There, topic is much better for the time being

Shhhhh Joyrock, it's ok to be wrong, one day you'll grow up and learn how to handle it.

For real though, you've been doing this since the B8 days, that "Nope" is just a taste of your own medicine.

I probably have been beating you in arguments since the B8 days if you think this is a win for you lol

Kloe_Rinz posted...

Nope what?

He's just a troll trying to pull a gotcha after failing to put together any actual argument lol

PiOverlord posted...

Metroid is not super successful franchise like Mario that piracy won't really hurt in the long run. It's a series that piracy can easily turn into a "not profitable" venture. People bring up "back-up" copies, but you know full-well that 99.999999% of emulation are not using "back-ups" of the games they purchased.

You want to argue that companies shouldn't prohibit you from emulating games that they no longer give you an accessible way to purchase? Go right on ahead. Metroid Dread is on a console that is highly accessible, and the game itself is also accessible. By encouraging emulation to people, you know full well most don't have the capabilities to do so, and know full well how most people emulate games. This is a bad-faith argument.

No piracy was absolutely no danger to the game, sorry. There have been studies upon studies for this.

But at this point people have no interest in discussing actual facts so I'm just gonna leave this, Nintendo was wrong.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

They withheld review copies from a major gaming group over something that absolutely didn't justify it so you're objectively wrong.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Nope. At their scale piracy does no damage, and depending on the study you listen to, might even help sales.

FuriousFox posted...

Regardless of your stance on emulation or piracy, Nintendo is not under any obligation to provide review copies to anyone. If they don't want to give you free games before their releases date, they don't have to.

Doesn't change that they're in the wrong. Law is not morality.

BurmesePenguin posted...

I think he admitted to being Octillery

You say admitted like I was trying to hide it, or it's somehow a bad thing lol

Paragon21XX posted...

RuneterranSnap is giving me major ZombiePelican vibes in this topic with his anti-Nintendo crusade.

I mean, I'm definitely not him, and I'm definitely not anti-Nintendo, but they have a lot of practices that deserve to be called out. All of the big three do, even when limiting it just to gaming. Hell, I still feel Sony should've faced legal action over how they handled the Bleem case.

Kloe_Rinz posted...

the extent of what kotaku did wrong was just publish an article that goes against nintendos corporate values and nintendo revoked early access to games for it. thats obviously what was gonna happen so no, IDC about kotaku for bringing this on themselves. I'm just saying that Nintendos corporate values are shit and anti-consumer and they are more in the wrong than kotaku is.

This is basically exactly what I'm saying.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

What if it was possible that both companies are stupid. Kotaku did something stupid but not necessarily wrong. Nintendo responded with something explicitly wrong.

Kaldrenthebold posted...

Yes. You don't understand and that's okay.

No, I understand perfectly. Nintendo is punishing Kotaku for something they shouldn't be punished over. Nintendo is in the wrong. Kotaku was definitely stupid to post it, but that doesn't make what happened justified.

Kaldrenthebold posted...

Nintendo is right, Kotaku is wrong.

Nope.

BurmesePenguin posted...

You don't understand what censorship is.

I do and used it correctly. Punishing someone because they said something you don't like is explicitly censorship.

Murphiroth posted...

Nah you're absolutely incorrect here. They pretty much outright encouraged people to pirate Dread and then had to walk it back in two retractions.

And not getting a preview copy isn't censorship anyway!

It literally is when it's being withheld solely to stop someone spreading information.

Man people defending Nintendo here are the worst. This is no different than blacklisting them for giving a bad review. Regardless of how you(admittedly justifiably) feel about Kotaku, this is a big corp abusing their powers to censor a smaller group.

Nintendo is definitely in the wrong, Kotaku was reporting on the status of modern emulation which is absolutely fine.

If it's good

bigblu89 posted...

You're all basically asking "Shouldn't running a red light be legal if no cars are coming?"

No we aren't. At all. Because unlike running a red light, there is frequently good cause for jaywalking, ie "we need to cross and there's no marked space nearby".

And for those rare instances where there is a good need to run a red light? It's usually protected under the law, as it should be.

Skyward Sword is a fantastic game. The wiimote movement was....less so, but we already knew that by that point. Remaster is significantly better.

What'd he say?

FearlessMango posted...

yeah their whole current arc is about multiverses, so replacing majors is ez

Cancel Kang Dynasty and rework it. Have FF introduce Doom but not as a sole villain, and let Avengers 5 be about Doom doing Doom shit before he gets ahold of Kang's tech and breaks everything.

Xatrion posted...

Fanboys....always granting goat status to things they haven't yet played. This is how disappointment happens.

Something they haven't played is not the same as something from a company with a long history of quality products.

NoxObscuras posted...

That's part of the problem though. I live in Los Angeles and so many dumbasses decide to run across the street because they see an "opening" but cars are going faster than they seem to realize.

I've seen so many near accidents because of it. Not from cars almost hitting the pedestrians, but from cars almost getting rear ended because they stop suddenly to avoid hitting a pedestrian.

And in LA that's a crime, even after enacting the idea I suggested.

Vermander posted...

Its interesting how messy this turned out. Disney is sitting on the edge of their seat.

Nah I'm willing to bet Disney is actively working to replace him but not making an announcement until they have the replacement.

I think it'd be a lot trickier if the recent MCU wasn't such a mess but they can drop Kang easily and rework their plans

Gwynevere posted...

Things would improve a shit ton if they put karma limit on CE. Something a little more restrictive than getting banned and being back a couple days later

You would be guaranteeing the death of CE at that point. One of its few draws is its a social board what few legit new accounts the site gets can go to.

Only bracket note I have not already mentioned is Quantum should've been 4th seed over Hydra
