Broken_Zeus 08/26/19 2:16:59 AM #107:	While I usually have mixed feelings when I see some peoples' collections, Funko's fan features consistently manage to depress me: https://www.funko.com/blog/article/funatic-of-the-week-paul-methric I'm not sure if it's because I assign less collectible value to Pop!s, the fact that the displays are usually just walls of boxes, or how Funko itself promotes the stuff. Granted, I keep most of my non-blind-boxed Funko stuff boxed, so that could also be part of it (although, the case of the Savage World stuff, that packaging looks amazing). WhiskeyDisk posted... Broken_Zeus posted... But don't they have to abandon what Disney brought to the table? Disney would logically have rights to at least some of it. "Why make billions when you can make millions?" --Sony Disney's offer wasn't going to be that great for Sony. CyborgSage00x0 posted... Getting slammed hard on a dumb little Kristen Wiig shoot here, want to actually post some stuff, especially relating to the Disney stuff. But for now: Goddamnit, Cyborg, can't you toss a warning before your spoilers? =( CyborgSage00x0 posted... ...But there's almost no way they explain ~~Clone.~~ Or ~~Force Teleport... which probably isn't a thing, so clone.~~ Granted, the question isn't so much how did this happen within the continuity, but why do they think this is a good idea? The Wave Master posted... Worse than The Prequels... I'm not sure. The first 45 minutes of The Last Jedi were pretty good. After that... let's not talk about that at all. The Force Awakens isn't a bad film at all, not like Attack of the Clones or lots of the Phantom Menace. I consider TFA unilaterally worse than TLJ, except maybe for the existence of Rose who makes me wish they had just put Jar-Jar in that role. Granted, the fact that TFA was so bad it made me wish I was watching the Phantom Menace instead may have lowered my expectations to the point that TLJ seemed half-decent (and by half-decent, I mean the half not featuring Finn & Rose's pointless sidequest where the only payoff was ~~ruining the Rebellion's escape attempt~~) I_Abibde posted... Might be time to pass the torch from the Star Wars movies to all of those new Star Wars TV series on Disney +, perhaps. tbh, the concept flat-out works better as a tv show than a film series. The Wave Master posted... I have not had a solid comic book subscription in over a decade. Back when I use to work at a Comic store part time, and I hung out with my friends there every Saturday. Back before I was sick and before I was married. At the risk of one-upping you, I've never had a comic book subscription. I always bought individual issues (often on clearance) and TPBs. The subs never really seemed like a good value. Granted, now we have things like Marvel Unlimited so, hypothetically, at some point when I have far more time than I know what to do with, I could just binge one of those comic services (assuming that they have a backlog of older runs and it's not just the complete garbage they've put out in recent years) --- Gamefaqs cannot handle my #BrokenBrilliance <cite>Broken_Zeus posted [p:926553839] in Valley of ...
