Infinity War was great. What was your issue with it?

So many things, but one in particular I remember disliking is how much it felt like lord of the rings but in a bad way. Search for magical mcguffin, big army fight in a field that you couldn't give a shit about because it's just bodies slamming into each other, I thought avengers was better than this.

Yeah I don't care what his reasoning is for killing Candace, he still did it. He shouldn't think for one second that he's better than Mariah, even if what she just did at the restaurant is 100x more extreme.

I will agree on the low-key thing. All morality aside, he's all about the smart play and what Mariah just did was not the smart play.

Mariah's daughter Tilda is just so beautiful... I'm just so worried about what the show is planning for her, if she's going to turn evil like her mother.

Also wow, this whole Shades being hesitant to kill thing, where did that come from lol.

Holy... jesus christ mariah. Just jesus christ. That scene where she shoots everyone in the cafe and literally sets the dude on fire, that is just some insane shit right there.

Also what? Could Shades be... repulsed by this? What, he has some kinda moral compass or something and found shooting up the cafe wrong? Color me surprised, I didn't think he was that kinda guy.

Lol that scene. Did nandi seriously just try to run? In an airport hanger surrounded by cops? What even is this joke show, who wrote this? You guys, are you seeing this? I think she may have even been wearing heels lol. I can't even.

Like seriously I'm not sure why this character is even a cop? There are other professions you know, besides serving as a foil to Misty.

Discrimination based on darkness of skin is a very real thing in black communities.

That's true. It is what it is.

Don't get me wrong I consider these small complaints in the grand scheme of the show, but just wanted to comment that the particular scenes are so jarring, they literally had me yell out lol what while I was watching the show. They're not heavy plot points which is the only reason they don't trump last season's ridiculous half brother twist, which really was acceptable in a blaxploitation movie sense kind of way.

On episode 10. Holy shit a Danny cameo! He looks... different somehow. Like... I wanna say good looking? Was he always this attractive and not a tool? I think it's the hair, it looks normal and not those goddamn jeri curls that make you want to punch his face.

I've always liked this show, even when people disliked the second half of the first season, I still like the show. But damn they're doing the villain gets caught then gets away somehow again? Ain't they all tired of that shit. I knows we the audience is.

And it's other things in season 2 that's weird. Like the opening episode where the waiter asks maria and shades "what are you and your nephew celebrating". Lol what? Literally no one on the face of this earth has ever made a weird random ass assumption like that. Why nephew even? Like, it's just so random and contrived and an inorganic scene to showcase that the mariah and shades relationship is seen as unorthodox by others (which I don't even know why by the way; if Shades is in his 30s mariah looks to be in her 40s, not really an age difference. He definitely doesn't look like some 20 year old spring chicken if that's what they're implying, he definitely looks old)

Then there's the scene where mariah talks about her childhood and how she was teased for being dark skinned and being called black mariah. Um... even bigger lol what? It's Harlem they're all black! I don't even... unless I forgot a plot point from last season that mariah went to an all white school or something? Because that's the only way I could see her being teased for her skin tone, otherwise it's literally breaking my brain how stupid some of the shit season 2's writing is getting away with.

There's a captain marvel type movie, and apparently an avengers 4 next year... then what? Will they finally end the series? Because I'm not ready to say goodbye to the core 4 and would miss the characters and infinitely disappointing war is not the sendoff I'd want for the characters (such a disappointing movie, I hope A4 magically somehow makes it redeemable somehow in a way)

The music is so obnoxious and loud. In the first season it's tolerable; other than being good it was part of the whole blackxsploitation homage the show was going for, so fine. But now the music in every scene is just loud, and bad. I constantly have to lower the volume and then turn it back up when the characters speak.

Bushmaster is annoying too, not sure what's with jamaicans as villains this season.

NBC is pretty dedicated to its comedies.

Um he's right, NBC are the best channel, are you not aware that they have always had the best comedies? From 30 Rock to Parks and Rec to Community to so much more, they've always been the channel with the great comedy shows that mainstream never watches, in contrast to CBS, which has the garbage laughtrack type shows that for some reason all of America watches like 2.5 men and himym and tbbt.

Daniel Craig nails the Bond character. The reason half of his movies sucked was because of terrible writing, and that really isn't something he can control.

In Casino Royale maybe. I didn't like the 2 after mgm went bankrupt.

Same question for youtube. I googled "extremely funny video that is guaranteed to make me laugh" in their videos section and not a single one of the first 10 results was a funny video that made me laugh. I couldn't have been more specific with my search request if I tried...

Why is it when you actually try to search for funny, or humorous, or any related synonyms, the videos don't match the search criteria you asked?

GTA Bore(IV) was by far the worst game in the series, but they made big improvements and changes for GTA V so that the game was as close to a SA successor as possible.

I love VC and SA too and see GTA V as the next best GTA after them. Give GTA V a chance as it is a major course correction after all the complaints that 4 got.

Mind you the game only has Los Santos as a major city but there are other towns and places to go besides just boring city. Los Santos is not bleak and shitty like Liberty City was, there is a much more upbeat vibe in V vs the depressing garbage IV had.

I'll admit I actually did play ballad of gay tony and it was... not bad, I got san andreas lite vibes from it, like an amateur was copying san andreas in rockstar's new "rage" engine with the ragdoll physics they seemed to love so much last gen.

I actually was on the precipice of buying gta 5 a few years ago when I was game starved, and checked out a couple of videos.

While I have many questions, one in particular is cheat codes. I can't remember, where there cheat codes for faffing about in the city? And if so was it like that garbage method in gta 4 where you pull out your in-game cellphone and input a 9 digit number for each damn code (I'm not kidding, that's actually what they did for gta 4. Just remembering this makes me want to punch the designer behind it in the face)

San Andreas should be the textbook example of how a developer can improve on a single console gen

There's a reason Rockstar were considered the best at making an open world game and rightfully mocked all those developers that tried to copy their formula.

I remember before gta 4 came out we'd theorize about how amazing the new generation of gta would be, how it would have photorealistic graphics and the ability to go into any building and how much more processing power would help the game (no more popping effect, as hilarious as it was to explode in a plane because you crashed into a tree that popped into existence all of a sudden) and so much more.

Ah. So the comics have no reason, which might be preferable to the shows inventing a reason which still doesn't fit considering shells aren't as strong as diamonds or titanium alloy I dunno.
---

https://imgur.com/0UFI0T9

Don't know about the comics but Apparently the shows say that his skin is made from some kinda shells? I don't get it, I've broken seashells before, they're not diamonds, so there's no reason for his skin to be that strong where bullets don't graze him or even a hacksaw.

Yeah but that doesn't count, it's kinda like how the trailer/theatrical release of dark city spoils the movie, it wasn't the one meant to be released to the public, just executive/marketing meddling.

https://imgur.com/0UFI0T9

It's been 15 years and they still haven't made a gta that comes close to SA. I know why but I just don't know why. After 4 killed my love for the series I found out that they just opted for online (god I hate online in gaming industry) and never bothered to make another gta again. People say 5 was "better" than 4 but the improvements are too little and at its core is still like 4 so it's not the gta san andreas or hell even vice city we deserve.

The rpg elements... the ability to swim (truly mindblowing back in 2004) and fricking planes, sa had it all. It was the first gta that I beat without cheat codes because the game was fun enough even without them.

As I suspected, it feels like one of those things that is expected to be included. Well the reviews for syndicate are better and people say that they went back to the better climbing mechanics that ac unity positively ruined (seriously I don't understand what the deal was with this game, why did they change almost everything for the worse) so I'm looking forward to having a good time.

There's still a whole bunch of shit plastered all over the map so...

Also an online component, which I'm ambivalent about. It's nice to play with others to do a mission but I've never cared for online in gaming, which is unfortunate in today's world with how gaming has progressed but I digress.

Only thing I liked about Unity was learning about the French Revolution. The next one: syndicate I liked a lot though

Still, it's a shame the french revolution time period was wasted, I think it's too good a setting and that's why they've botched it, they just didn't know what to do with it. So many elements to that time point in history, so many viewpoints and factions.

As for Syndicate, review wise people say it's better although London is such a tiresome, overplayed setting. Still, hope it's good.

Origins has been on sale now as a matter of fact, for (possibly) black friday. Which I got. I'm going through them after all these years, next of which is syndicate before I try origins and see what people are talking about in regards to it shaking up the system.

So far AC 4 has been the only one I liked. I mean it's still amazing just how good it was, the sailing and being a pirate and just the whole feel of the game. That caribbean setting. Those gorgeous colors. The hilarious beginning of this time you're just being a dude who happened to find the asssassin's uniform and put it on, that always cracked me up, in a good way.

Maybe it's just me but even though it has roughly the same number of sequences as other AC games in the past, the memories within the sequence are shorter. I mean, it is better that there's no pointless faffing about in the "real world" like with AC 2 and 3 and even 4 (much as I love that game)

Also better to be quickly done with the game overall, I suppose. Because you know what's worse than remove whistling? Removing the human shield ability for bullets. Jesus Christ you have no idea how annoying it is to be powerless against all the snipers on the roof.
