  2. Thanks for the sub, man! Glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the kind words.
    7200
  3. FYI - Experienced an editing glitch that caused the video to freeze half way through. Sorry about that, but its fixed now so enjoy the vid!
    5700
  4. Youtube disabled comments on this video. No idea why, but they should be back now.
    5500
  5. You absolutely love to see it.

  6. My god, when I think about the years of wasted potential here, when I think about everything McGann could have done with this role and how this six minute minisode is superior to all of series 11 put together, it makes me genuinely sad. McGann was born to play the Doctor, he really WANTED to be the Doctor, and I truly wish he'd been given a real chance.

  7. Get well soon, dude.
    3800
  8. By the way, if any asshole claiming to be me replies to your comments saying you've won an amazing prize or some similar nonsense, ignore and report them immediately. Its a scam, and its happening everywhere on YouTube right now.

  9. Send in the clowns. They're already here, and they work for RT.

  11. I don't know what you're talking about, Jeremy. This trailer was the greatest thing I've seen all year

  12. So it turns out the scam bots are back in force on this video. As always, ignore any account claiming to be me, and offering fantastic prizes, giveaways, personal contact or the secret of eternal life. They're just out to scam you out of your hard earned money, and I don't want that to happen. So ignore/report them if you see them.

  38. It's definitely a "switch your brain off" kind of action movie, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Does feel like they tried to cram too much into it though.

  206. It was a weirdly impressive scene that managed to be a black comedy, a brilliant callback to the movie that casual viewers might well miss, and a pretty well done dramatic moment in its own right. The writers on this show have got some serious talent.
    227
  207. This is kind of a false equivalency since the issue with Us is the overreliance on themes rather than the fundamental elements of a horror film (tension, fear, excitement, foreboding, a plot that keeps you invested). Other genres rely on different fundamental elements, but I'd have the same criticism for them if they neglected those elements in favour of pushing heavy handed themes. The cinematography and performances in Us are perfectly adequate, and I said as much in my review, but it doesn't save the film because the plot tying it all together has been so badly compromised in service of the film's themes and social commentary.
    226

  224. Loved that line. Johnny Lawrence is the hero we all need.
    145
  225. I approve this process.
    143
  226. Its when one of them falls over a railing, lands about thirty feet down then gets up and comes after you again. That's when I knew I was in a spot of bother
    141
  227. Funny how this keeps happening to all our favourite heroes, isn't it?

  229. Thought that was Dreamcatcher?
    135
  230. Yeah, at least it isn't infused with identity politics, so it goes up slightly in my estimation for that. Also it's nice that it pissed off the professional critics. Like I said in the video, it's not a bad movie because of toxic masculinity or xenophobia or any of that nonsense. It's bad because it's badly written, lazy and generic, and it doesn't live up to the Rambo legacy.
    131
  231. Thank you.
    129
  232. Damn, man. This was a tough video to watch. I've been in your position before and it never gets any easier. My best wishes to you. Take care.
    128
  233. Very much. A lot of this game feels like it was lifted from classic horror movies and shoe-horned in, and not exactly in a good way.
    121
  234. Hi there. I believe the other movie you're looking at is Commando. Thanks for the comments!
    118
  235. Yeah, it'll be fine. A bit of knowledge of the original helps with some of the in-jokes, but it fills in enough of the blanks to enjoy on its own merits.
    116
  236. I appreciate it!
    115
  237. Me too. Shame they did so little with him.
    110
  238. That's the effect this movie has on me.

  240. It was an incredible ending for a great show.
    100
  241. So... how much did Ari Aster pay you again?
    100
  242. Sorry! Had to keep my rant brief.
    98
  243. I can try...
    97
  244. Exactly. Controlled aggression is the mark of a mature man. Screaming and shouting about every little thing is the behaviour of a child.
    96
  245. Barry had some absolute clangers in this game. Can't help but love the guy
    95
  246. Well, I had to re-edit it 3 times to get it past their copyright flagging system. They REALLY didn't like me using footage from Force Awakens, yet everything else was totally fine. Not that I'm bitter about all that wasted time or anything...
    93
  247. I wouldn't have believed it either if I hadn't seen it myself
    92
  248. I look forward to a 6 hour video deconstructing my thoughts here
    91
  249. It would have taken me about 2 hours to list all her Mary Sue accomplishments.
    87
  250. Every day is another chance to make new ones, mate. Don't give up on people.
    87
  251. It's only the veil of my sarcasm preventing the universe from tearing itself asunder.
    84
  252. So after some people made me aware that the US Kindle version was still showing as full price I've spoken to my publisher and they've dropped it to 99 cents until 17th December.
    81
  253. Once the final battle rolls around, it picks up pretty well. It just takes such a weird, illogical, stumbling path to get there.
    79
  254. I'll never forgive Marvel for that one. Every time Fury tries to act badass, all I can see is that scene.
    73
  255. Don't worry, I'm properly drunk now.
    72
  256. My god, there's so many other problems with this plot, I didn't even pick up on this. I did remember thinking "How did they all know to ring those bells? Who arranged this?" Oh well, just another reason to dump on D&D.
    72
  257. Make sure you do it real loud so I can hear.
    70
  258. Yup, and you just know that if Ezra had done the same thing to save Sabine, he would have been absolutely annihilated.
    69
  259. Glad I could help!
    66
  260. That pretty much nails the entire issue right there.
    66
  261. That's okay, I'm just happy to have you here.
    64
  262. When you see the full scene, it'll definitely make more sense. We worked hard to avoid this kind of crap.
    63
  263. Agreed. I get that it's kind of a passing-the-torch story, and it makes sense to give the next generation their own plot arcs, but the adults are what everyone really watches the show for. Hopefully they don't surrender what made Cobra Kai so fun and unique, now that it's becoming more mainstream.
    62
  264. I guess that could have done with better explanation. We can enjoy and cherish the adventures they went on forever, but to keep producing more and more stories about the same exact people, never really changing or developing... well, it would kind of devalue them after a while. Having them grow older, sharing their wisdom and experience before finally bowing out is natural, it's good, and it reflects the reality of our own lives. It teaches us that there's value in age and experience, and reminds us to make the most of the time we have, because it doesn't last all that long.
    62
  265. Ha! Well, it would be rather self indulgent of me to review my own book - but if anyone else out there feels like giving it a bash, do feel free. Glad you enjoyed it by the way!
    62
  266. And I'm not even that good. I think it takes a special kind of talent to have written a movie as fundamentally bad as TLJ.
    59
  267. I actually really want to review Event Horizon. Really good merging of sci-fi and horror, with some pretty unsettling scenes. Hard to believe it was made by the same guy who did Resident fucking Evil.
    57
  268. Yeah, the whole rest of the story is still garbage that would have to be completely rewritten to make a decent film, probably requiring a video that's about 2 hours long. But it's enough to show that Luke's character COULD have been done so much better with relatively small changes.
    56
  269. QTE's are almost never a good idea, especially when there's loads of cool stuff going on, but you can't take any of it in because you're concentrating so hard on mashing the correct buttons. Fortunately they're fading out of popularity now.
    54
  270. I agree that some of the issues come down to the actors. Emilia Clarke is woefully overrated as an actress, while Sophie Turner's only saving grace is that she's pretty to look at. Unfortunately she possesses all the screen presence and charisma of a wet rag. God knows what would happen if she and Brie Larson starred in the movie together - the universe would probably cringe itself out of existence.
    53
  271. My all-time favourite review of this movie was, "My appendix exploded and I almost died this year, but watching Ghostbusters was still the low point of 2016 for me."
    51
  272. I've heard nothing but bad things about it. Shame really as I expected more from Shane Black.
    51
  273. Exactly right. This is why I had an issue with the portrayal of the clones, implying they're almost justified in their actions because they're a marginalized underclass, and it's fine for them to murder the privileged upper class people because... equality. It feeds into this weird idea that rich and successful people are inherently bad simply because they've played the game better than others. But the 'privileged' people in this context have done nothing wrong other than existing - they didn't even know about the clones, so it's not like they oppressed or took advantage of them. I also think it's pretty ironic to see stuff like this coming from the mind of a multi-millionaire Hollywood writer like Peele.
    49
  274. You're right on that one. I'd originally intended to do a series charting how the Rocky films changed over time, but like you say, they've been out for so long and seen by so many people that they're hardly a red-hot review topic anymore. And of course, it's always easier to entertain when you're trashing a film rather than praising it, but I don't want my whole channel to be about negative reviews. Thanks for the retro review recommendation though, I'll bear them in mind.
    45
  275. I'd give this episode 3.6 out of 10. Not great, not terrible.
    45
  276. Its the Charlie's Angels of 2020.
    45
  277. Rarely have I seen two speakers so wonderfully mismatched. Peterson was reserved, thoughtful, articulate and logical, presenting his points with great patience and politeness. Newman was like a bull in a china shop, constantly interrupting, talking over him, badgering and misrepresenting his position at every opportunity. She was so desperate to get one over on him that she walked right into his logical trap, and literally couldn't respond. It was truly glorious watching this self-righteous ideologue desperately fumble for a response as her brain melted down, knowing she'd just humiliated herself live on air. I actually think Peterson would make a far better interviewer than Newman - please replace her as soon as possible before she embarrasses herself again, Channel 4.
    44
  278. Such a perfect line for a character at the end of his road. A guy who did the right thing his entire life and still lost.
    44
  279. Likewise. I'm starting to get the feeling that the MCU is going to shift direction after Endgame though, and it'll focus more on promoting 'diversity' and social justice than making quality movies. I really hope I'm wrong about that.
    43
  280. Thanks! I try to be as fair as possible when it comes to videos like this, rather than just irrationally hating on the movie.
    42
  281. Working on it
    42
  282. Weirdly, Creed 2 is actually a big improvement. At least Adonis has an understandable motivation this time around, and it's great to see Ivan Drago again, but really it relies 100% on nostalgia instead of telling an original story.
    41
  283. It's funny you saying that, I've always felt like the Falcon must be a nightmare to fly with the cockpit being so off-centre. It just makes no sense from a logistics point of view. Wonder how many times Han Solo scraped the left side against walls and ships hulls...
    41
  284. Its feckin' true
    39
  285. Hello there
    38
  286. They used old fashioned 35mm film for this. Love that look. I can't stand the bland super-high definition movies you get now.
    38
  287. Thanks, man. Glad you enjoyed it!
    37
  288. Fair enough. I would however say the overall thrust of my review is a positive one. I enjoyed the film, thought it looked great, it did some interesting things with its characters and, aside from a few contrivances, the plot mostly held together. I was simply pointing out occasional issues as I saw them, and my general position that it doesn't really feel like a necessary sequel.
    36
  289. Persuasive charm and firebombing threats
    36
  290. I plan to do it as I have a lot to say about that game, but I'm hoping my RE vids will get more traffic before I do. They're a bit sparse at the moment!
    34
  291. Yeah, but to be fair, they're not Adeptus Astartes. They're just regular humans in power armour.
    34
  292. I'm gonna have to do a follow-up video with all the honourable mentions. There's too many awesome female characters to include in one video.
    34
  293. It's the air of smugness that seems to rub people the wrong way. She has this weird smirk thing going on, plus a lot of the characters she plays are generally cocky and arrogant. It creates an impression (real or imagined) that she's a bit in love with herself.
    32
  294. Thanks. Yeah, it's a shame Zero is so overlooked in the larger narrative as it's a fun little game in its own way, it keeps the slow paced exploration of the original and I love the gorgeous animated backgrounds (still hard to believe it came out 17 years ago).
    32
  295. I don't think women are to blame so much as lazy writers trying to shoe-horn idealised female characters into stories and settings with no respect for existing content. Rey could have been fine if they took the time to build her up and actually made her work for it. Instead they took the quick and easy route with her, and this is the result.
    31
  296. It's cool, they'll get what's coming to them. Fair Use usually does the trick.
    31
  297. Carter is awesome - proof that you can write a strong, capable, interesting female character who's also positive, optimistic and... nice
    30
  298. It's the best way to view them, really
    29
  299. Coppola deserved a medal for finishing this film. Not many directors would have survived something like this.
    29
  300. That's why I like this game - there are quite a few possible story branches depending on subtle player choices like this, and even to this day a lot of people don't seem to know about them.
    28
  301. That interview really makes me laugh, because we've all been in a situation like that before, having to work alongside someone we absolutely can't stand. I love how he doesn't even try to hide how much he wishes he was somewhere else.
    28
  302. There are definite failure points in this game, but I did find it more enjoyable on replay than first time around. Probably because of lowered expectations.
    27
  303. Yes I would.
    26
  304. I think that's the mindset I went in with during my replay, and as a result I found the game much easier to enjoy for what it was. It's not exactly high art, but there are worse ways to kill a few hours.
    26
  305. The Drinker is here to help with your pain.
    26
  306. I suspect that might be the right decision. I'll probably watch it just so I can review it, but I'm not feeling much excitement right now.
    26
  307. When I read a Time interview with Cameron, he claimed it happened to him, so not sure on that one.
    24
  308. Agreed, but why make the second episode filler when the first felt like two episodes crammed into one? The pacing of this show is fucking bonkers.
    23
  309. Agreed. It perfectly captured what made the original so special, while vastly improving the graphics, voice acting and game mechanics. Even though it came out 17 years ago, I still consider it superior to Resident Evil 7.
    22
  310. I sensed your need for this vid.
    22
  311. Thanks. My research for these videos is always fun!
    22
  312. Publishing 8 novels, buying 2 new houses, working full time and raising 2 kids.
    21
  313. You can see how much Hayden was having to hold back just to make Dawson look better - the dude carried that entire fight on his shoulders.
    21
  314. Much appreciated!
    21
  315. Plans are in motion.
    21
  316. The good thing was, I could get as drunk as I wanted because the movie theatre was basically empty.
    19
  317. It still blows my mind how hard people will fight to defend this turd, and the kind of insane mental gymnastics they'll put themselves through to try to justify the insanity of its script.
    19
  318. Lol! I did caveat that statement by saying the film had issues and was far from perfect. Force Awakens was bad in places, but at least it wasn't offensively bad like Last Jedi.
    19
  319.  @TheVanillaQueen  knowing what's going to happen to her makes me appreciate her time all the more.
    19
  320. Apparently its good for boiling water very quickly, as long as you mould it into a candle shape.
    19
  321. I may indeed once I've covered the other games. I'd like to do a special episode on Resident Evils That Never Made It, since there's so many  unreleased prototypes out there.
    18
  322. It's on the list.
    17
  323. Yeah, as far as these movies go, Apocalypse was probably the 'best' and most faithful to the games. I didn't mind that one too much. The later entries were just absolute trash that gave up all pretence of being anything other than shameless cash grabs.
    17
  324. Oh, Cathy. This is going to be one of those interviews you look back on in years to come and still cringe. Jordan Peterson absolutely schooled you here
    16
  325. I think it fits with Hawk's character - he's all about show and bravado and overcompensation, and he's so desperate to prove himself as a badass that he goes over the line at times. Makes sense when you consider he's probably been shy and bullied his whole life, and now that he's found this new identity for himself, he'll do everything he can to defend it.
    16
  326. Me too. But I take away points for it not being a suitable end for our man Rambo. If it had been a generic Stallone action movie I might have been more forgiving, but I expected more for Rambo's last outing.
    16
  327. The 4 year lifespan was a reference to Rachel's child, not the current generation of Replicants. Depending on which version of the original movie you watch, its left ambiguous about whether Rachel suffers from the same limitation. So its perfectly possible that this 4 year span could be passed onto her child.
    16
  328. Wonder if Rian Johnson wrote that line...
    15
  329. I don't rate that one to be honest, because it goes on for about 20 minutes and is so overblown and overdone, it just leaves me feeling numb. Nice ending, though
    15
  330. Outer Kev Maybe I was being a little harsh there, but I do think Resi 5 and 6 strayed a little too far down that road
    14
  331. It's a tough one to come by. Think it was the original Japanese PS1 intro, as the international version didn't have the gore or the smoking. Even the Director's Cut version failed to put it right.
    14
  332. Wow, that's a new one - downvoting a review of one game because of a presumed attitude to a different game that I haven't even reviewed yet. But okay, sure, you do you.
    14
  333. Thank you. It's been quite a ride so far
    14
  334. Yes I can.
    13
  335. Very true. The later Outlander books are incredibly frustrating to read because there are good stories buried beneath all the crap. They could be really good if they were about 50% shorter. As for the Earth's Children novels, I actually spoke to one of Random House UK's executives when I was at an author event, and she straight up admitted that they knew Auel's final novel sucked, but they also knew it would sell millions of copies regardless, so they just went with it. That's the lovely reality of the publishing business.
    13
  336. Certainly is. I've lost many hours to this one, and I've always wanted to talk about it so this was my chance
    13
  337.  @bulbafett5001  if my suspicions are correct, it'll be far worse. I suspect Cloud himself will be the one to do it, to get the timeline back on track. You can't fight fate forever.
    13
  338. Yup, he got out at the right time. Ultimately he'll be fine, and the showrunners will eventually fade into obscurity.
    12
  339. True
    11
  340. It's a shame you feel that way, especially considering all of my RE reviews have been pretty genial and laid back so far, and I have no reason to hate on any of these games. On the contrary, I love playing this series and generally look for the positives first and foremost. You might actually be surprised by what I have to say about RE6.
    11
  341. Glad you enjoyed it!
    11
  342. I never will.
    10
  343. There is no Spoon.
    10
  344. Thanks, man. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
    10
  345. Debby Flanagan Thanks. I always find it interesting to speculate on what might have been, like if the original movie had been a massive hit or the TV show had gone into full production. So much material that could potentially be great onscreen, but we may never see it now
    9
  346. Don't know why they don't restore that scene. The only thing needing fixed is the green screen windows in the background.
    9
  347. I think that's my main criticism of the film - that it's dumb, it tries too hard to be funny without really understanding how to do it. As for the scene comparison, I based my comparison on each scene having a setup and a payoff, as well as the subject matter. In the original, the payoff was Egon's comical attempt to back away from the proton pack, and in the 2016 version it was Abby being thrown around the alleyway. One was clever, understated and subtle, the other was loud, obnoxious and dumb.
    9
  348. My pleasure.
    9
  349. I'm waiting for a heel turn from Daenerys, though I'll be absolutely stunned if the writers have the balls to actually go through with it.
    9
  350. Honestly, I wish the video had been twice as long so I could have fit all these awesome characters in.
    9
  351. I really had thought of her. That scene at the finale where she's hanging from the bridge, spraying bullets and screaming with absolute rage was a strong contender for me. There just wasn't time to fit it in.
    8
  352. Just another excuse to have an action scene, I guess
    8
  353. You're right about two of those. Personally I see The Lighthouse as psychological thriller rather than a horror, so I wouldn't put it in the same category. Havent seen The Witch yet though.
    8
  354. The Dothraki were generally useless against an enemy that can't be panicked or broken. The only solution would be to have them dismount and fight as regular infantry alongside the main body of the army.
    8
  355. I'm never too drunk to like your comments
    7
  356. Isn't it great?
    7
  357. Holy shit, Tim. This may be the angriest I've ever seen you. And to be honest, I can't really blame you for it.
    7
  358. Hamza Ahmad Shaikh possibly. There's certainly a lot that can be done in 2018 that they couldn't do 30 years ago
    7
  359. Sorry. Fixed
    7
  360. Exactly. Two combatants with a genuine reason to fight each other, and strong emotional investment in each. Unlike the SW movies nowadays.
    7
  361. Zero is one of those games that really comes from a different era, when games didn't hold your hand and constantly push you towards an objective. Its something that ought to be played in a slow, leisurely way. Take your time with it and really explore the environments, and it offers a pretty satisfying gaming experience even all these years later.
    7
  362. Catie thanks! Reading these books has become a form of intellectual torture for me. Snow and Ashes was just awful. But at least I get to make snarky videos about it later.
    7
  363. Oprah was far too generous with this show, in that case.
    6
  364. Yeah, that sounds about right. Can't have people expressing negative opinions. The irony is that it's just going to make people more determined to bring the movie down - it'll be very interesting once it comes out and audience ratings are enabled.
    6
  365. Well done.
    6
  366. Code Veronica has that effect on people. It's a pretty forgettable game in terms of story and characters, and the gameplay is an awkward half-way house between the slow pacing and static cameras of the original trilogy, and the over the shoulder action of 4, 5 and 6. Not one of my favourites to be honest.
    6
  367. Well done, man. This is awesome stuff, and a welcome bit of good news.
    6
  368. No problem, I've finally got a decent video editor so it was pretty easy to put together, plus I didn't need to do much research as I'd already seen Sharpe. My old reviews used to take weeks because it was such an inefficient process to get all the footage.
    6
  369. I just could not get that damn sentence out properly...
    6
  370. Sorry. Always late to the party.
    6
  371. Thanks
    5
  372. Indeed. I've noticed they're very big on "starting important conversations", which is why I regularly drop the phrase into my vids.
    5
  373. Fahri Akalin Lol! It's mostly just the editing. May have got a little overzealous cutting out the pauses
    5
  374. Then you did a lot better with this game than I did. To be fair, I bought this game when it came out in 1999, got stuck on Adel, then dug it out again ten years later and resumed from the same save file (because I really didn't want to replay the first 30 hours of game), so I was probably hampered with crappy weapons and the wrong junction setup for the final battle.
    5
  375. Pretty much. I think the MCU is getting to that point where every potential twist and setup has already been done, and movies are starting to rehash the same ideas to get through.
    5
  376. It'll happen one day
    5
  377. Cheers man. Yeah, my books are available on Audible.com
    5
  378. Indeed. I'm actually on the hunt for a good film to review as I need some balance. I'd hoped It Chapter 2 would have filled the void, but... no.
    5
  379. That's the intellectual colossus known as Anita Sarkeesian.
    5
  380. Agreed. It wasn't a bad game by any means, but it lacked the freshness and impact of Resi 2. The environments were pretty samey and confusing too. I did enjoy the branching storyline, though.
    5
  381. Nope, just deleted it and edited the original file. Once you know what content is causing the issue, its usually pretty easy to fix
    5
  382. Only at my mate's house, mostly because he's obsessed with VR and wouldn't shut up until I tried it. Was pretty immersive to be sure, but I didn't like the clunky control scheme. And the motion sickness started to creep in after a while.
    5
  383. And well done to you, sir!
    5
  384. Thanks! Yeah, as much as I dumped on it in this video, it did kind of entertain me for two hours. I thought Killmonger was a well rounded and well developed villain with an understandable motivation (something Marvel has always struggled with), I liked Andy Serkis and I thought some of the fight scenes were well done. But honestly, the movie is just so monumentally dumb and riddled with plot holes that it blows my mind how hard people fawn over it.
    5
  385. The "Palpatine returned, don't ask questions" line was JJ Abrams at his absolute worst. Just throw major plot events in there and don't think about it even for a second.
    5
  386. The later ones actually made me feel embarrassed on behalf of the actors.
    5
  387. This is just hilarious now! How low can it go??
    5
  388. Thanks!

  389. Well, I've heard nothing but good things about the Metro series, both the books and the games, so it's something I wouldn't be against reviewing. My problem is that I haven't read or played any of them, so I'd need time to absorb it all. Right now I'm working on a retrospective series for the Resident Evil games, which is something I've always wanted to do. I might also throw up some reviews for the rest of the Outlander books just so I can put that one to bed once and for all.
    5
  390. I salute you, sir.
    5
  391. He is.

  392. Congratulations, sir! Many have tried to be first, but you succeeded. The Drinker salutes you.
    4
  393. I know, I don't like it either. This vid was made before Captain Marvel helped me get my brain right.
    4
  394. Thanks! All my GoT vids are still there so not sure why you're not seeing them.

  395. The GameCube was a weird one. I don't think it was very strong on the 3D front, but games like this neatly circumvented the problem by rendering high res backgrounds as looped FMV sequences. It was a clever little trick really, and resulted in a game that was simply beautiful to look at - way better than something like Code Veronica. Its downfall was the weird mini optical disks the system used - Resident Evil needed two of them because they lacked storage space.
    4
  396. Or why her dragon seems capable of infinite flaming when it destroys Kings Landing. Do they ever run out? It's like a human being able to piss constantly for hours on end.
    4
  397. Damn, I wish I'd used that analogy...
    4
  398. Done
    4
  399. No argument here.
    4
  400. GRRM has been quoted as saying he doesn't write his female characters with any kind of politics in mind - he just writes them as people, with a mix of strengths and weaknesses. But since the show ran out of book material 2 seasons ago, it seems the writers are deviating more and more from his original vision and making the female characters into feminist wish fulfilment rather than flawed and conflicted human beings.
    4
  401. Well, you can't label him evil just because he wasn't creative enough to find a better solution to the problem.
    4
  402. Or why he didn't just snap her neck the moment he grabbed her instead of holding here there for several seconds. Or why none of the other white walkers attempted to intervene. Or what Bran was doing throughout the whole episode. Honestly, I could have made a video an hour long tearing this episode apart. It's just dumbness taken to a whole new level.
    4
  403. I think their assessment of Dany's character is entirely wrong in that they place far too much emphasis on her arc being only the focussed and determined pursuit of power. On many occasions she's committed acts born out of compassion and a desire to help others. The Breaker of Chains moniker wasn't just something she adopted to make her sound cool, she saw herself as a saviour both of the slaves of Mereen and the people of Westeros and genuinely thought she could make a positive difference to the world. She was always about breaking away from her dark Targaeryan heritage and being her own person, a better person than her predecessors had been, but in this episode she just seems to embrace it and say "Fuck it, I want to be queen and if people won't accept that, I'll just make sure there's no people". I think the article's ludicrous suggestion that a lot of fans thought the tolling of the bells themselves drove her insane is total strawman bullshit. Most sensible people recognise her decision to burn King's Landing was a calculated choice to rule through fear instead of love (whether it was a choice she made in advance or a spur of the moment thing is up for debate), but its still a monumentally stupid one for someone who should know better. Her own experiences up to this point should have taught her one very important lesson above all else - all Tyrants inevitably fall, whether through violent revolution or internal betrayal. Even if she sits on the throne (or what's left of it), she'll have inherited a devastated kingdom with a populace that hates and fears her, and will likely spend the rest of her life fighting and killing to secure her fruitless victory.

  404. This entire show is just a continuation of Rebels. Filoni has really fallen in love with this character he created, and was so desperate to make her cool and strong and awesome that he completely fumbled her live action transition here.
    3
  405. Way ahead of you.
    3
  406. And I don't have to answer to a Council of Drinkers
    3
  407. Deathwatch. Not a bad little horror film, actually.
    3
  408. Had to edit out the vomiting.
    3
  409. Sebat Hadah Unfortunately it's pretty much impossible to keep identity politics out of anything these days...
    3
  410. Spare a thought for me. I had to edit that shit for hours
    3
  411. Yeah, the really, REALLY disappointing one
    3
  412. That would have been just fine with me. Rise of the Tomb Raider showed hints of this when she becomes more hardened and starts dual-wielding guns in the final battle, but then it's all gone by the time Shadow comes around. I wanted to see Lara grow and improve, but instead she stagnates. And I can't stand the constant moping around and blaming herself for everything that happens - total self-indulgence. Old Lara would kick her ass for being so wimpy.
    3
  413. I know. I honestly wish the show had been good, I wish they had done Kenobi justice, but they screwed it up big time.
    3
  414. It is indeed current year.
    3
  415. Pretty much.
    3
  416. I wouldn't even try.
    3
  417. Well done to you.
    3
  418. Well done.
    3
  419. Thanks, man. That's weird behaviour from YouTube though.
    3
  420. I suspect she knew the script sucked, she knew Sony pulled the bulk of the production and marketing budget because they had no faith in it, and so she knew it was almost guaranteed to flop. Playing the feminist card seems like a desperate last minute gamble to try to stir up interest.
    3
  421. Well, it sure took me a while. Started the game in 1999, got to the third disk then got stuck on the Adel boss fight and gave up, then went back to it about 10 years later determined to finally complete it. Possibly wasn't worth my time.
    3
  422. I think for me it all came down to expectations. When I first played it, I expected a tight, intense survival horror game and I obviously didn't get it, so I had a negative opinion of the game. When I replayed it several years later, I went in expecting it to completely suck and was surprised to find it was actually pretty enjoyable. Certainly not in the same way RE4 or the Remake had been, but I wasn't bored either. I also appreciated the scope and sheer ambition behind it. Capcom really tried to deliver something epic with this game, and even though they didn't quite manage it, I think the game deserves props for what it tried to do. Leon and Ada's campaigns were enjoyable for me, Chris' was weak and Jake's was kind of 'meh'. So overall two wins, one draw and one loss worked out as an ok game in my book. Ultimately RE6 is a bit like watching a Transformers movie - I can totally see the faults with it, but there's enough going on to keep me entertained that I can just sit back and enjoy it for what it is, rather than what I wanted it to be. I can very much see why others were so unhappy with it though. The controls weirdly didn't bother me. I found them broadly similar to RE5, albeit a bit on the sluggish side. Maybe I was just so taken by being able to fire on the move that I was willing to overlook other problems! Appreciate such detailed feedback though. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
    3
  423. I just practise Doublethink, and it becomes easy
    3
  424. Then I consider myself educated. Over here you have to apply for your degree first, then the college/university will decide if you're accepted.
    3
  425. I've reviewed the first Creed. Would like to get around to the second one if I have time.
    3
  426. I often enjoy a nice game of Microsoft.
    3
  427. He doesn't really have a career outside Star Wars. At this stage of his life, what does he really have to lose? He could have kicked up all kinds of negative PR for Disney if they'd tried to force his hand.
    3
  428. The other problem is that most of them don't have any thoughts worth hearing, but their own vanity compells them to share it anyway, further diminishing their air of authority and gravitas.
    3
  429. Oxygen is for wimps.
    3
  430. I'd like to review the Revelations games, the problem is my RE vids just aren't getting much traffic right now compared to other stuff I'm covering.
    3
  431. Yes you is.
    3
  432. I think it was a genuine accident as his laser went straight through the terrorists to destroy the controls. A pretty apt demonstration of how difficult it would be to control such power in a situation like that. He did seem briefly annoyed by his screw up, but quickly said "fuck it" and bailed out.
    3
  433. The Shining, It, Event Horizon, Alien and Poltergeist. The first Halloween was pretty decent too.
    3
  434. I think that's my issue with this episode. These themes have been around for a while at a relatively low level, but it kind of reached critical mass in this episode, such that it became distracting and irritating.
    3
  435. That's the magic of cinema.
    3
  436. I suppose it's not given the rules they establish, but from a storytelling point of view it really should be there. Otherwise there's no reason they can't just take all the time in the world, gather resources, make plans, do anything they want to give them an edge.
    3
  437. I didn't include the Revenge of the Sith fight because it went on far too long and was just completely overdone, I couldn't buy into it at all because it felt like there was no weight to any of it. If it had been half the length and more visceral, less technical and flashy, it could have been phenomenal. You're right that the Vader scene from Rogue One was a pretty one-sided fight, but it did such an incredible job showing Vader's power, his abilities and his sheer presence that I felt it was worth including.
    3
  438. I didn't get any SJW vibes from Creed. My criticism stems from bad writing, a derivative story, disrespect to the original movie's characters and it generally being a story that didn't need to be told.
    3
  439. I'm on it
    3
  440. It's on my list.
    3
  441. Claire looks really weird in Revelations 2, though. Don't know what they've done to her facial model, but it's a total switch.
    3
  442. I presumed every image has to go through a similar procedure to ascend. Or was Yennifer a special case because she didn't have a 'normal' ceremony? The show doesn't make this clear.
    3
  443. It does get rather tiring after a while.
    3
  444. If you combine it with a red herb you get a temporary buff, but it doesn't last long.
    3
  445. Just my soul! 😉
    3
  446. So you say my assessment of Creed's character was totally wrong yet you give absolutely no evidence to support this. Interesting.
    3
  447. I did read this, and I appreciate the support. Cheers
    2
  448. I'd have to disqualify it on account of the battle lasting three full days. Gotta love Disney, eh?
    2
  449. They won't, but the Jack gives you less of a hangover at least.
    2
  450. Shaky cam. And running. Lots more running.
    2
  451. Figured they would. I'm actually surprised they waited this long. I'll probably discuss this in a vid later today.
    2
  452. I'd have liked to add them, especially Underworld. I also tried to fit Buffy in but unfortunately there just wasn't enough screen time.
    2
  453. Nah, TFA gave him potential for the first 10 minutes or so, then turned him into a clown. TLJ made the whole thing even worse.
    2
  454. Thanks. If you enjoyed the RE2 video, I've also covered the other games in the series in a similar style
    2
  455. I would, because I see this movie as only tangentaly related to the DC universe anyway. It's a character study long before it could be considered a comic book adaptation.
    2
  456. Only on weekends.
    2
  457. Seen it. Did a stream on it. Its definitely more suited to Rian's style, but I can't say I loved it.
    2
  458. My first thought on seeing Pegg was "Oh shit, you're now at THAT age where you start playing the dad rather than the hero."
    2
  459. That's a very interesting perspective, and although I did bring this up in the video, I didn't go into all that much detail about the implications of Wakanda's non-interference policy. The issue I have with this, particularly the example you gave of Shuri calling Ross a coloniser, is that the movie never goes so far as to outright criticise any of it. It's glossed over and bypassed. Shuri for example never faces censure for her earlier comments. It's clear when she meets Ross that she has little respect for him, but it's not like anything happens to drastically change her opinion or force her to confront her own prejudice. If for example she'd been in some kind of trouble and Ross had saved her, thus proving he's a good man and forcing her to acknowledge this and respect him, then fair enough - I'd be fine with that. As it is, Shuri operates pretty much independently throughout the movie, never really getting into trouble or needing help from anyone, especially Ross. It sets up a flaw in what could be seen as an arrogant, conceited character, then kind of forgets that it even exists. Likewise, the attitude towards Wakanda by the end of the movie isn't "Oh my god, we've made such a mistake throughout our history. So much needless suffering, war and poverty that we could have helped prevent". Instead it's presented more like "Wakanda is awesome, and we've kept our awesomeness hidden for too long. Now it's time to show the world what we can really do." Nowhere is this more evident than at the end with the obligatory sneering diplomat asking "What can a primitive country like Wakanda offer the world?", followed by T'Challa's knowing smile.   This is my issue with the movie. It might flirt with the idea that Wakanda and its ideology are deeply flawed, but it never comes to grips with this in the way it should. It's too preoccupied with glorifying the technological achievements and martial capabilities of its characters that its unwilling to properly address their flaws. I didn't express these things as clearly as I could in the video, which is a failing on my part. But I stand by my criticism that the plot is simplistic, T'Challa is a boring character without a well defined arc who also made terrible decisions, supporting characters like Shuri are annoying, Killmonger's plan for world domination was far beyond his ability to achieve even with Wakanda's technology behind him, the battle scenes were silly and overall the movie told a thoroughly underwhelming story that didn't deserve the praise it got. That's my opinion, but I appreciate how you took the time to outline yours.
    2
  460. I learned this eventually. Second play-through was much easier, to be fair.
    2
  461. The Dothraki charge was unforgivable for me. Just like Rian Johnson and his useless space bombers, they wanted the powerful visual of the big river of fire and light and hope riding valiantly towards the darkness, then gradually blinking out as hope was extinguished. They cared about the visual of the scene without ever questioning whether it made sense.
    2
  462. Yes there is.
    2
  463. I enjoyed it a great deal thanks! Was a fun group of guys, though I was feeling the pace a bit by 4am. Might try to be a bit less drunk and ranty next time
    2
  464. Arya will end up killing everyone. She's that damn good now.
    2
  465. I wouldn't. That's the point. The Rocky saga had come to an end. It had followed virtually his entire adult life, from a hungry young nobody to an old veteran coming back for one last shot. The story had been told, and told well. And that was enough.
    2
  466. You're welcome.
    2
  467. Thanks. Glad you enjoy my work.
    2
  468. I think so. Like I say, it'll never go away entirely, just like every genre still exists in some form or other, but it'll carry on in a dramatically reduced form.
    2
  469. Actually I like many things. Check out my retrospective series on the games and you'll find near-constant praise from me.
    2
  470. Explain how it made $90 million profit when it needed to make $300 million just to break even, yet only made $230 million worldwide. Go ahead, I'll wait.
    2
  471. Prepare for my arrival, my children
    2
  472. She just seems unbelievably smug and pleased with herself all the time. No idea why she seems to be getting so much work at the moment. Kind of like Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones.
    2
  473. One can be selective about which aspects of the comics to work into the movie. That's why MCU Hank Pym isn't an alcoholic wife beater, and Nick Fury isn't a WW2 soldier kept eternally young by the Infinity Formula
    2
  474. Well, I read an interview with the writer of Chernobyl in which he openly stated he was pro-nuclear power, and that this series wasn't intended as a critique of the nuclear industry but rather the secrecy, cost-cutting and lack of safety culture in the USSR that allowed the disaster to happen. And having seen the show, I certainly don't get an anti-nuclear vibe from it.
    2
  475. Seen it. Love it. Go away now
    2
  476. I read all the ones I favourited, but there can't be more than 20 or 30 of them.
    2
  477. Maybe I will.
    2
  478. Every chance I get
    2
  479. I don't know, I've heard rumours that 40k is going woke too. Mark my words, it's only a matter of time before we have female space marines.
    2
  480. I could be tempted. The only problem is that I struggled to even see what was going on half the time.
    2
  481. I think she was given the virtually impossible job of talking about a character who has no real personality or motivation. Anyone, no matter how smart or articulate, would have been left floundering with a question like that.
    2
  482. Wow. Powerful and comprehensive argument there.
    2
  483. I'd love to, I really would. But there's nothing quite like waiting hours for a video to render and upload, only find it's been instantly blocked by a copyright claim for 10 seconds of footage, and you're going to have to go back and redo the whole thing. So yes, I've rendered it in lower rez for the sake of time and my own sanity. I also assumed most people just kind of listen rather than watching.
    2
  484. It's weird. It's almost like I acknowledged those exact arguments in my video. The issue isn't whether Arya is capable of something like this, it's whether her character deserved this moment. She doesn't. She's had her arc, she's had her little revenge trip, she's had her moment to shine already. Now she needs to fuck off and let Jon have his. But the writers just can't seem to leave Arya alone, and that's why we end up with bullshit like this episode.
    2
  485. Anniversary was perfectly fine for me. The controls felt slightly heavier, there wasn't the same 'floaty' feeling you got from PS1 originals but the puzzles were a decent challenge and overall it stayed pretty true to the first game.
    2
  486. I think people would have been less perturbed by it if it was simply its own thing, rather than taking a very popular and beloved franchise, and trying to one-up everything it did.
    2
  487. It doesn't happen often, so enjoy it while it lasts.
    2
  488. It feels weird for me too, but even I can't constantly hate on EVERYTHING. Vids like this keep me balanced.
    2
  489. Wow, so much straw was used in this argument, it's practically a fire hazard. Y'all clearly don't understand that even fantasy worlds have to adhere to their own rules and common sense, instead of arbitrarily breaking or ignoring them in order to pull some bullshit 'subverted expectations' out of their arse. Bad writing is bad writing, regardless of genre.
    2
  490. Haha! Yup, lesson learned there. Sorry
    2
  491. Just think how I feel. I have to listen to it every day
    2
  492. This part is actually true. It's based on the fight they had at the end of Rocky 3, though at the time it was portrayed as more of a friendly sparring session between former rivals rather than a properly competitive fight. But yeah, I'd rather they'd kept the result secret and ambiguous, instead of having Rocky straight up tell Creed the answer.
    2
  493. I think I would have requested an overdose, if you catch my drift. No way would I want to live like that.
    2
  494. I think we all noticed it creeping up, but the last 10 years or so crossed the line for most people. Now that everyone can see it for what it is, the push back is hitting them hard.
    2
  495. Shah! Don't let Hollywood hear you
    2
  496. The controls killed it for me. Nice graphics and actually a decent story but the action scenes were virtually unplayable.
    2
  497. Good question. The thing that sets Original Lara apart from Mary Sues is that: 1. People don't instantly like her. Far from it in fact, most people end up wanting to kill her. 2. She doesn't quickly and easily learn new skills with zero effort. She already has the skills she needs based on - we assume - a long and eventful career as an adventurer. 3. She does make mistakes and can be ambushed/caught off guard, at one point losing all her weapons and nearly getting killed because she underestimates her opponents. 4. She's kind of morally ambiguous, taking on the job of finding the Scion to serve her own interests rather than any kind of altruism. In essence, Lara is like a combination of Indiana Jones, James Bond and a femme fatale. She's not the kind of character the player is necessarily meant to get close to, but rather she exists at a distance - doing what she does with skill and determination without letting her guard down too often. That's what I could muster up in terms of arguments in the 5 minutes I've thought about it, but I could probably come up with more if I had to.
    2
  498. Cheers mate!
    2
  499. Think I saw Ben Affleck in there somewhere...
    2
  500. I didn't see it as trying to push an agenda as such. It just came across as kind of goofy and eye-roll inducing. Not what I expect from The Boys
    2
  501. He's still a unit to be sure. I wouldn't want to fight him, old man or not.
    2
  502. I do like the bit where he's ranting at Korben, and Bruce Willis' eyes keep flicking up to his insane hair.
    2
  503. Thats the mentality these days, I'm afraid. The best course of action is to just not give a shit what people say.
    2
  504. Thanks!
    2
  505. Thanks, Jesus.
    2
  506. Yeah, for some reason the images went slightly out of synch when I compiled the vid. Totally didn't notice until it was live. Sorry
    2
  507. Thanks
    2
  508. Old Lara was compelling and interesting precisely BECAUSE we didn't know much about her past, and we didn't need to. I didn't want to see her childhood or learn the intimate details of her personality. Once you strip away a character's mystery and show them as a helpless, clueless nobody before they 'made it', it kind of ruins what made them cool in the first place. Just ask Nick Fury.
    2
  509. Thanks man
    2
  510. Very much so. A moral dilemma like that would have made for an interesting core theme to explore with a smart, thoughtful screenwriter at the helm. Unfortunately, we don't have access to them anymore.
    2
  511. I assumed that's what it was meant to be there. There just didn't seem to be enough of it, though I like the fact that nobody makes any attempt to clean it up. They just kind of work around it and try to ignore the mess. Haha!
    2
  512. Yup. Thats the level of stupidity this movie deals in
    2
  513. Agreed
    2
  514. And you don't live in Wakanda, so you don't get to have an opinion on this movie, son.
    2
  515. Money doesn't equal quality. Avatar made 2.7 Billion and it was a pile of absolute dog shit.
    2
  516. The fight scene is a metaphorical representation of Midsommar and The Shining battling for supremacy in my mind. Or I just wanted to show two hot cave women in bikinis fighting. Like a good theme, it's open to interpretation.
    2
  517. It really should have been. It would have been the perfect way for the X-Men series to bow out on a high.
    2
  518. And that's why I drink
    2
  519.  @nemeru3352  fair play. I'd always take quality over quantity of course, but is it too much to ask for both? And yeah, I too enjoyed Leon's campaign the most.
    2
  520. I like them provided I can actually see them.
    2
  521. Stunning insight, dude. Real highbrow stuff.
    2
  522. I'm all about helping people.
    2
  523. Tell me about it. Grr! I'm not a big fan of quicksaving though as you end up doing it after every tricky jump or enemy encounter. Sometimes its good to feel like there's actual repercussions if you die.
    2
  524. I have to get extra drunk to tackle TLJ
    2
  525. Not without getting a copyright strike from the BBC. They're a pain in the arse with this kind of thing.
    2
  526. I hate all of them. They shouldn't exist.
    2
  527. My god, I think you might actually be right on this one. I don't think I ever fully understood whether Marcus was lying about Khan putting his people in those torpedoes, whether he was speaking metaphorically or just outright lying to try to justify his actions. Who knows? The plot still makes no sense.
    2
  528. No idea. It's almost like Captain Marvel is a badly conceived movie that was awkwardly inserted into the chronology of the MCU
    2
  529. Iron Man is definitely in my top 3, alongside Winter Soldier and Infinity War.
    2
  530. I celebrated completion of this vid with a vegan sausage roll from Greggs, washed down with a soy latte.
    2
  531. I'm a drunken perfectionist.
    2
  532. I did indeed. Can't say I disagree with him on a purely logical level, though I didn't see it as the total disaster he painted it as. It was just blandly shit for me.
    2
  533. I suspect that's your problem right there - you've never watched the originals, so you don't see how the new movies have abandoned what made Star Trek so compelling. As generic space actions movies, the new Trek movies are perfectly passable. But they're not just generic space action movies. They're STAR TREK movies. You put the name Star Trek on something, then immediately you're inviting comparisons to what came before, and those comparisons won't be favourable if your movie is a radical departure from the originals. It would be like if the next Fast and the Furious turned out to be an intimate family drama set in 18th Century Cornwall.
    2
  534. You articulated it better than I could.
    2
  535. Better than the first one, mostly because of the nostalgia factor of seeing Drago and Rocky on screen together again.
    2
  536. But you do see her drink tea, wine etc, and eat cake with the others
    2
  537. This was me a while back, before I got my brain right. Things are very different now.
    2
  538. The tunnel fight could have been amazing if done in single-shot, John Wick style. But it wasn't.
    2
  539. Thanks man

  540. Good question. Diversity is absolutely fine in movies when it feels natural and works within the constraints of the story. Just like its fine for movies to tackle social issues from time to time, but it has to be done in a smart, subtle, understated way that doesn't sacrifice characters and storytelling. The problems really come in when either the writers get overzealous and try to shove it down your throat every chance they get, or write characters which are so constrained by the multitude of rules that come with social justice that they no longer even resemble real human beings, or they come under pressure from actors who demand certain things be forced in, or the studio sees a relatively small number of very vocal activists on social media and assumes everyone feels that way. Basically I think there's a balance that can be struck with these things. Go too far in one direction (Star Wars) and you start to alienate your fanbase, and ultimately your box office takings suffer.

  541. Still getting over Aerith. One of the many reasons I turned to drink
    2
  542.  @greebo7857  yup, they're recording the English audiobooks as we speak.
    2
  543. I say go with it and see what happens.
    2
  544. Sorry about that. Go to 11:57
    2
  545. It does feel pretty linear today, especially when the game all but paints a giant arrow on the ledges you can grapple.
    2
  546. Probably a good strategy at this point.
    2
  547. I enjoy a Big mac as much as the next guy. But this movie is like being served a Big Mac with one of the buns missing, the patties uncooked and the sauce replaced with whipped cream. Its perfectly possible to have movies that are dumb yet entertaining, but they still have to be produced with a certain level of quality and consistency. And Resident Evil unfortunately doesn't manage that.
    2
  548. I remember the flashback, but I guess I was just hoping for something MORE. Perhaps a revelation from their perspective, or getting some sense of complexity from the Night King, or just exploring the idea that there was more to the white walkers than simple weapons of mass destruction gone out of control. Maybe I credited the writers with too much intelligence.
    2
  549. I'll laugh my arse off if he shows up in the Rey movie!
    2
  550. Well, as it happens, I rather liked Endgame, Wonder Woman and Chernobyl. Just because I point out individual flaws in a film doesn't mean I hate the overall product.
    2
  551. The Patriarchy made her do it.
    2
  552. Thanks!
    2
  553. Pretty much the same. Decent setup ruined by a lacklustre story, weak villain and way too much focus on Lara's dad. Vikander was better than I expected.
    2
  554. Thanks man!
    2
  555. Thanks!
    2
  556. Yeah, I think the show exaggerated that aspect, though from what I recall, the Soviets were extremely concerned at the prospect of a major steam explosion if the burning reactor came into contact with the drainage pools beneath, which would have further destroyed the complex and scattered even more fallout into the atmosphere.
    2
  557. Thanks. George does excellent work and clearly knows his stuff, but he can be a bit dry at times. I walk a different path.
    2
  558. Worth it.
    2
  559. Personally I'm happy with it being left ambiguous. It's not a question I ever wanted answered, but rather an interesting aspect of his character to think about.
    2
  560. Not Another Teen Movie

  561. Trial by Fire (A Ryan Drake novella)
    2
  562. #CowsToo
    2
  563. They didn't drown it. The breathing fluid functions just like air. Apparently the rat survived with no ill effects.
    2
  564. It is.
    2
  565. It undermines the entire moral message of the original movies - that struggle and hard work and sacrifice ultimately builds character and wisdom, and provides greater long terms rewards than taking the quick and easy road to power.
    2
  566. Yup. Looks like a kids soft play centre now.
    2
  567. The final cut is definitely the best version available, but man, its a slog to get through.
    2
  568. Fortunately my mind comes equipped with unlimited stops.
    2
  569. The weird thing is she kind of looks like Stallone from the first movie.
    2
  570. It's great, I heartily recommend it. I may even do a video on it some day.
    2
  571. (Sigh) I'm complaining about the lack of common sense. That's still a thing, even in fantasy TV shows. Would you like a pitchfork to help construct another strawman?
    2
  572. I know. It just never seemed to work for me. Maybe one time out of ten if I was lucky. Plus they have an annoying habit of lurching sideways just as you're about to open fire
    2
  573. I've already reviewed it
    2
  574. Yup, that was another one of Peters' genius ideas.
    2
  575. Always
    2
  576. Damn, Eraserhead is a tough watch even for me
    2
  577. I'm looking into this one, because there seems to be a price disparity between the UK and US. This will not stand!
    2
  578. You made the right choice.
    2
  579. I surely will.
    2
  580. Done and done.
    2
  581. Yes, and you should now fight for your representation in everything.
    2
  582. My pleasure
    2
  583. "yeah, he does. He literally told jaime where to go to escape in the previous episode. Makes sense that he'd, you know, look there first? Idiot" Yup, and of course there's no doubt they would make it down there with the castle collapsing all around them, that they wouldn't be killed by falling rubble or roasted by dragonfire on the way, or that Jaime would even make it to Cersei to tell her about the escape route in the first place? Not to mention that Tyrion was even able to get down there himself and easily find their undamaged bodies because Jaime's hand was magically visible. Yup, totally believable that all those things aligned perfectly. "it's that character building that you cried about not existing at first. It's important to see tyrion's reaction to their deaths to cement his realization that he's made a horrible mistake to take dany's side and that its cost him dearly." You really think the apocalyptic destruction he'd already witnessed wasn't enough to convince him he'd been wrong to support Dany? How much of a moron do you think Tyrion is? "I guess you missed that scene in episode 4 where they state that they lost half the unsullied and dothraki. Not all of them, half." Sure didn't look like it in Episode 3. It looked like they'd been completely annihilated by the white walkers. But yeah, sure, one throwaway line is clearly enough to completely negate what we've seen with our own eyes. "tyrion explains this. Jon literally asks him if there's still a night's watch. Tyrion explains that yes, there is, and why, the very next line. Did you just go all "HURR DURR JON NIGHT'S WATCH AGAIN WHAT BULLSHIT WHY" and ignore all the dialogue that came after like some fucking simpleton?" Again, with your reliance on dumb, throwaway lines. Just because the writers insert a line saying "the night's watch are still needed" without any elaboration or explanation, doesn't make the scene any less ridiculous. It doesn't change the fact that the very purpose of the night's watch no longer exists. There's no need for them to guard the north, because there's literally nothing to guard against. Their purpose is entirely moot.
    1
  584. That's lovely for you.
    1
  585. Thanks. Me too
    1
  586. Top marks for spotting that one! A movie that always stood out for me because the women in it were ruthless badass secret agents alongside the men and nobody batted an eyelid about it - they were just accepted as part of the team. And the movie was made in the 1960's.
    1
  587. Season 1 and 3 were great. Wilson Fisk was the best villain in all the Marvel TV shows. Season 2 was boring and weak, hated the magical ninjas.
    1
  588. Yup. The one that was set mostly in VR worlds (I forget the title) just made me die inside a little.
    1
  589. I've already reviewed it
    1
  590. No
    1
  591. Not at all, but gang members are exactly the kind of people Killmonger intended to target. He wanted violent criminals with a hatred of society to fight his war for him. Ordinary civilians wouldn't have any interest in starting a civil war.
    1
  592. I know. It's a terrible affliction I've had all my life.
    1
  593. Yup, they simply stopped giving a shit with this series.
    1
  594. There are people who actually enjoy Melissa McCarthy? I guess she's an acquired taste, then. Like bleach.
    1
  595. Maybe
    1
  596. I think it either grazed his neck or missed entirely, but the shock and surprise caused him to tumble backwards down the stairs.
    1
  597. Mostly because Disney Marvel will nail you for copyright violation if you use footage from the actual movies. Trust me, I've been through this bullshit enough times to know.
    1
  598. Its a sarcastic video, dude
    1
  599. Yeah. Its on my second channel
    1
  600. Also why would a machine need to practice at all? Not like he can forget how to shoot.
    1
  601. Again, I'm not doubting her ability to do it, I'm doubting the dramatic common sense of robbing Jon of this moment in favour of a character with no history against the Night King or the white walkers. Arya has already had her little revenge killing spree, she's done enough now but the showrunners keep pushing her at the expense of other more worthy characters and well... it kinda sucks.
    1
  602. I believe he started in Turkey and was flying over the Med, so that would most likely put the island somewhere off the Greek coast
    1
  603. Hope you're okay, dude. Cheers
    1
  604. Depends on when they die. Kill someone years or even decades earlier than they're supposed to die, and everything they would have done/accomplished in between gets removed from the timeline. The repercussions of doing this to hundreds of thousands of people could be enormous.
    1
  605. That's what I'm here for.
    1
  606. Yeah, I'm not good with family trees
    1
  607. No it wasn't. The Republic capital had moved to a different planet.
    1
  608. My door is always open.
    1
  609. Tony Bellew was actually a pretty good fighter in real life, but clearly there's a difference between being good and looking good on screen. I'd rather they found a bigger and more powerful looking boxer, or just used an actor like in most other Rocky movies.
    1
  610. Because you can get arrested and prosecuted for non-payment.
    1
  611. Yup. Going to see it in a few hours
    1
  612. If we can bring in Jack Burton too, I'm sold!
    1
  613. I love Arnold like a crazy old Austrian grandfather, but he needs to stop doing Terminator movies now. He's too old for this shit.
    1
  614. I'm British. We spent centuries invading other countries. ;)
    1
  615. I was just doing a little test... a little test to see if you'd gone crazy
    1
  616. Thanks!
    1
  617. Absolutely. I don't know if its because they're afraid of the social media reaction if they show him hurting Androgynous Thing, or whether he really is just a weak antagonist who doesn't get to be a serious threat. Either way, it does nothing for this movie.
    1
  618. A lot of things.
    1
  619. Agree with all of this apart from T'Challa's character. For me, he didn't have an identifiable personality or motivation. He just did things because the plot needed him to.
    1
  620. Booze. And strippers. Or some combination of the two.
    1
  621. She's Arya. She has plot armour.
    1
  622. No. Its very, very right.
    1
  623. The mind boggles. She runs like a 70 year old with arthritis.
    1
  624. The issue here is that they've rewritten the character's backstory to suit their current needs. It wouldn't have been an issue if this was a future Doctor as, like you say, the character can regenerate into anyone. But to change the history seems cheap, and smacks of bad writing.
    1
  625. I don't think the rest of the film was about 'male fan service' at all - it was simply fan service. Paying proper respect to characters that BUILT THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE and who are about to bow out for the last time. In my opinion they're passing the torch to people who don't seem particularly grateful for all the work they've done, and who are likely to take the MCU in a direction that's about politics first, and storytelling a distant second.
    1
  626. It is. Seemed appropriate given the source material.
    1
  627. The difference is that this game tried to build on its predecessor and take its characters in an interesting new direction. It also made some smart narrative choices along the way. TLJ attempted to destroy and undermine everything that came before it, while presenting a monumentally dumb plot that people have literally spent hours deconstruction. Also, Last of Us didn't openly despise half of its characters just because they happened to be male, or elevate its females to flawless godlike status.
    1
  628. Absolutely, but how exactly did she find him when he could have been literally anywhere in the universe?
    1
  629. I think (and hope) they're setting Daenerys up for an evil turn as jealousy and ambition gets the better of her. There's been hints over the past few seasons of an increasingly ruthless streak in her that even takes her advisors by surprise, but I honestly can't tell if the showrunners are trying to portray this as the inevitable growing pains of an inexperienced ruler, a sign that there's a core of steel beneath her pretty façade, or the first signs of a fatal flaw in her personality. I'm hoping for the latter, and I'm especially hoping that Jon doesn't just lay down and accept that she's a more rightful and deserving ruler than him.
    1
  630. That's fair, but I think a general understanding of the world and its geography would be helpful to get the viewer immersed
    1
  631. Pretty much covers it.
    1
  632. Soulless protagonist? Have you even played the RE games? They're famous for their goofy, brash, bravado-laden characters and mind-blowingly bad dialogue. As for what I wanted, I wanted something closer and more faithful to the plot of the game, with recognisable characters instead of blank slates like Alice.
    1
  633. You're delusional. Get to the infirmary.
    1
  634. Apparently the water wasn't as contaminated as they'd anticipated. Also there were many metres of solid concrete between them and the reactor core, so direct radiation was less of a problem. That being said, all three men are fucking heroes for volunteering in the first place.
    1
  635. That is real. That is a thing which the leader of a country actually said.
    1
  636. I'd say about 20% of the seats were taken. It was a Monday night to be fair, but still, the movie's only been out here for a few days.
    1
  637. Fair play. I respect your right to disagree.
    1
  638. Hows it going up there? Still in lockdown?
    1
  639. The first six. That's it.
    1
  640. Oh, don't worry. I'll get to Aquaman in due course.
    1
  641. Holy shit, you're right. I'd totally forgotten about that! To be fair, it's not often you're obliged to climb up onto a ledge with spikes there, but that move does indeed protect you from damage. Thanks for the reminder.
    1
  642. I already did.
    1
  643. I think they toned down her wealth because they wanted Lara to seem like more of a down-on-her-luck everyman character struggling to find the resources for her expedition (because games journalists reviewing these games all pretend to be far-left socialists who hate wealth and success). Again, totally at odds with Lara's fame and fortune in the early games that provided an easy vehicle for her to quickly and efficiently get where she needed to be.
    1
  644. Actually, it only made around $110 Million in actual returns once distributers fees were subtracted. Not good when it cost $144 Million just to make, and at least another $50 Million to market. So yes, it did fail. It failed hard. You should educate yourself better on the economics of box office returns.
    1
  645. Already am. It's amazing.
    1
  646. I think that's my point. The movie delivers enough decent emotional moments to make it a good film, but the lack of logical consistency I the plot holds it back from being something better. A good solid plot is the framework that everything else builds off - if it's not good, the rest of the movie is going to struggle.
    1
  647. Nah, I was already a douche.
    1
  648. Just calling it like I see it. She has the same damn facial expression in virtually every scene as Cersei. Maybe she's capable of more and the director just won't let her do it, but it's pretty distracting after a while.
    1
  649. Yeah, it's just before I upgraded my setup
    1
  650. Probably opens up the possibility of bringing back whoever they want at a later date.
    1
  651. I suppose it's not really her fault that the actress looks so much younger than she is, but man, it was so unnecessary.
    1
  652. Maybe to give Mark Ruffalo more screentime? I'm not sure. Never really cared for him as an actor in the MCU anyway, mainly because he can't act.
    1
  653. There's not enough booze in the world to get me through that crap
    1
  654. That's how Anthony Hopkins pronounces it in the show. And if Anthony Hopkins reckons it should be said that way, then so it shall fucking be.
    1
  655. Yup. Except the Wicker Man was actually good.
    1
  656. Agreed. Dawson looks so bored and lazy during the fight scenes. There's not an ounce of energy or passion in her.
    1
  657. I do actually, it was unfair of me to bring it into this video. The background and lore in 40k is second to none, especially since they've gone so deep into the Horus Heresy stuff
    1
  658. He's basically Father Jack, only less likeable.
    1
  659. Why is any of this even remotely surprising? Did you seriously think women would do better than men at this stuff?
    1
  660. Of course. Amazing movie.
    1
  661. Not when you're Rey.
    1
  662. Trial by Fire (Ryan Drake)
    1
  663. He says it to Foster's daughter. Something along the lines of "My name will be mud when my wife finds out I'm staying on as a cop"
    1
  664. Thanks
    1
  665. You could be right, though I think it'll still make money due to Marvel's box office dominance. I sure can't see the character (or the actress) endearing herself to many people, though.
    1
  666. Pretty much.
    1
  667. It's sarcasm, dude. Try watching the video.
    1
  668. I'll do it just to shut everyone up.
    1
  669. Nope. She runs and fights with all the poise and grace of Frankenstein's Monster after a dozen pints of beer.
    1
  670. Amazon. The one set in and around Chernobyl is called Trial by Fire (A Ryan Drake novella).
    1
  671. Truly. I never want it to end.
    1
  672. Probably for the best.
    1
  673. I had a good laugh when the media made a huge deal of her training by pushing a car. Across flat ground. With the brakes off. It's a car, guys - it's designed to roll easily. Anyone with working legs can do that.
    1
  674. Generally I consider longer games to be preferable as you get better value for money, and while I take your point about the guns feeling underpowered and the non-zombie enemies, the game does at least bring zombies back. Combat is what I'd generally describe as 'frantic' here. They really threw everything at you in RE6, they wanted to take the zombie horde concept as far as they could and probably they got carried away. I think more restrained moments would have helped balance things out and reduce combat fatigue.
    1
  675. I'm reminded of the time they toyed with the idea of making Sansa a badass like 3 or 4 seasons ago, they dyed her hair dark and gave her a new outfit in the season finale. Then she was right back to being manipulated by Littlefinger and abused by Ramsey the following season. I just can't take her character seriously anymore. She's definitely the weakest of the Starks.
    1
  676. Yeah, I've no idea why they didn't just go with the premise of the first game instead of this weird, overblown nonsense. It's like they only had the budget for a B-grade horror movie but tried to produce an A-list action extravaganza. It was always going to end in embarrassing failure.
    1
  677. I think he goes along with it up to a point, because it makes him look good and it seemed to be the way the winds were blowing. I suspect his views will change the moment it becomes profitable to do so.
    1
  678. I like it. I think it has potential. Every Guardian reader will get behind it.
    1
  679. Deadly stuff. I temporarily lost the ability to read after a few pints.
    1
  680. T2 for the most part looks like it could still hold up today. It's aged brilliantly. Somehow I doubt they'll be saying the same thing about Dark Fate 20 years from now.
    1
  681. It had to go the way of the X-Men movies. Sorry
    1
  682. You're so funny, dude! Though we both know you don't have any friends.
    1
  683. Well, I bow to your experience on this one, sir. I assumed you had to be a US citizen to enlist.
    1
  684. My criticism is that they make Creed a confusing amalgamation of different ideas without a clear character arc, and try to push him into a similar role as Rocky from the original movie, and it doesn't really work because Rocky was a dumb, penniless nobody from Philly desperate for a chance at success, while Creed is a rich, intelligent and successful son of a celebrity from LA who already has more than most people will ever achieve. The issue for me is that this makes him hard to sympathise with and it creates a weird story where nothing is really at stake.
    1
  685. Not too many of them, fortunately.
    1
  686. Aren't we all?
    1
  687. Warner Bros would have slapped a copyright claim on the vid. I know because I tried it.
    1
  688. To be fair, the knighting scene was played pretty well. I think it's always been a thing for Brienne that she looks and dresses and fights like a knight, but was never allowed to actually be one. And now she is, but honestly it just seemed like another "See, women should be allowed to do anything men can do" kind of scene.
    1
  689. That's for a different video I'm working on
    1
  690. My point is that the games already have pretty well developed plots that would be easy to adapt into a movie. Instead they went off in a totally different direction and abandoned most of the game storylines for no good reason.
    1
  691. Go watch it anyway. If you go in with low expectations then you'll probably get some enjoyment out of it.
    1
  692. Give it time. It'll happen.
    1
  693. I suspect its because they have the benefit of actually being likeable and charismatic despite the bullshit politics they spout. And, dare I say it, I think their hearts are probably in the right place. Like, they actually want to help people. Whereas Brie Larson just seems to use this stuff to enhance her own image and ego.
    1
  694. I look forward to it in 2030
    1
  695. Actually there are plenty of ways Jon could have done it, while still keeping it surprising and exciting. Hell, even a team effort where multiple characters take him on, distracting and weakening him so Jon could strike the killer blow. The fact he wasnt in there, and wasn't doing anything remotely worthwhile either, is totally unforgivable.
    1
  696. I agree. I guess that's my whole point with this video. People can appreciate any kind of character they choose, the only thing that's really required is that the character be well written. I even list Steve Rogers as a morally good character that was nonetheless popular because he was well executed.
    1
  697. I loved Dunkirk, but I also loved this. Also the narrative here was more focussed and personal, while Dunkirk was more fragmented.
    1
  698. Not really, lol! This video was a bit of a struggle
    1
  699. I didn't say the praise came from black people. It came from mainstream media and twitter activists that are so desperate to be seen as progressive that they'll happily ignore reality and elevate mediocre movies to ludicrous heights. And everyone else, for fear of racism accusations, is left too frightened to contradict them.
    1
  700. Fair play, family trees aren't really my forte. Must be all the inbreeding in this part of the world...
    1
  701. Sorry about that. Got a bit overexcited in my summary!
    1
  702. Actually I spent an entire video outlining my problems with it, but since you're apparently unaware of that, here's a quick summary: 1. The plot was overly simplistic and riddled with so many holes that it bordered on nonsensical. 2. Wakanda is a ridiculous wish fulfilment fantasy nation that people seem to idealize despite the fact its a selfish, technocratic black ethnostate. 3. T'Challa is a boring, bland personality-vacuum whose character arc makes no sense given the events he'd just been through in Civil War. 4. The movie is patronising and insulting to white people, treating its few white characters with absolute disdain. 5. Shuri is impossibly intelligent and accomplished given her age - again, another smug wish fulfilment character on the part of the writers. 6. Vibranium is used as a cure-all plot remedy to get the characters out of any situation and explain almost anything. 7. The people of Wakanda are the most technologically advanced nation on earth, yet they fight hand to hand with spears and melee weapons. 8. Armoured war rhinos. 9. Killmonger actually believes he can overthrow governments and defeat all of Earth's combined military forces by arming small bands of operatives and revolutionaries with laser guns. 10. T'Challa allows himself to be goaded into a death match against Killmonger when he had no reason or need to accept the challenge. 11. When Killmonger defeats T'Challa, everyone declares him king and swears loyalty to him, despite the fact he's an outsider and they know almost nothing about him. Is that enough or should I keep going?
    1
  703. I guess that's my point. He's certainly in great shape for a man of his age, but no amount of training is going to turn the clock back 30 years and give him the kind of physique he was rocking in T1 and 2.
    1
  704. Permission granted.
    1
  705. Thanks!
    1
  706. It was a different time in my life.
    1
  707. No idea. It's possible he came back through the time machine as an old man but appeared in a different location? I'm just clutching at straws here to be honest. The movie makes no attempt to explain it.
    1
  708. Thanks!
    1
  709. Final Destination
    1
  710. Sarcastic vid, dude. Try watching it in full
    1
  711. 8 years of Jon's character development, not the Night King.

  712. I don't doubt that Lady Mormont is a strong character with a determined personality, but yeah, there's no way someone that young could possibly be any help on the battlefield, either as a warrior (far too small and weak to do anything useful) or as a tactical commander (too young and inexperienced in warfare to direct troops). Not to mention the loss of morale amongst her men if she got killed. If she was truly smart, she should have recognised this.

  713. Heavenly Sword

  714. I think Beyond suffered from having a terrible central premise (Evil villain who looks like an alien but is actually human spends decades trying to find the components needed to make a crappy bioweapon, even though the swarm of alien spacecraft he already possesses are far more destructive and effective, in order to stage an attack on his own people to make the Federation more warlike). Also, the excessive amount of Simon Pegg screen time was clearly related to Simon Pegg being the screenwriter.

  715. I don't know about the DCEU. They struck gold with Wonder Woman (I'm still undecided about whether that was by luck or design), and Aquaman was pretty fun, but the initial batch of movies were a complete clusterfuck and there's no obvious way to correct that without doing some kind of soft reboot.
    1
  716. I would.

  717. I always expected some hidden motive behind the night king's actions, some huge revelation that would put the entire series in a new context, but there was nothing. Cersei is just a dumb opportunist as far as I'm concerned - cunning at times but ultimately short sighted and driven by ego rather than larger strategic vision. She's queen literally because there's nobody else left. I consider her a very unworthy final boss.
    1
  718. True, and she could have easily flattened the Red Keep to kill Cersei (or better yet, capture and torture her) and left the rest of King's Landing intact, but instead she chose to waste the entire city. That seems way out of proportion.

  719. I dislike unanswered questions when they're central to the entire story. In Alien, the questions of the xenomorph origins were completely incidental, so it wasn't an issue at all.
    1
  720. It's certainly not all like that, but this episode really stood out for me.
    1
  721. Damn right I would
    1
  722. I've avoided them so far, trying to take each episode as it comes. They can't subvert my expectations if I don't have any.
    1
  723. Actually, I see it as shit writing. Because it is.
    1
  724. I can only hope against hope that somehow Episode 9 redeems the character. But that's a hell of along shot.
    1
  725. I don't particularly see it as a PC or a feminist movie, I was simply commenting that the treatment of Christian's character is considered acceptable because of his gender, whereas there would have been mass outcry if he were female. Generally I consider this to be a badly written, badly constructed film that looks nice but has nothing remotely intelligent or interesting to say. And I believe I conveyed this in my review.
    1
  726. It's a sarcastic video, dude. SJW's are the very people it's designed to mock
    1
  727. My pleasure. Farscape will always have a special place in my heart.
    1
  728. I think there's a slight difference between a really strong shield, and maglev trains, invincible suits of nanomachine armour, spaceships, super advanced computers and balls that can stabilise major injuries and disable vehicle engines. One seems kind of plausible. The rest is just fanciful writing.
    1
  729. We can't ever show her bleeding or being hurt at the hands of a man. That's not allowed, don't you know? Every activist on Twitter would lose their minds if a film was shown committing violence against women. This is one of many reasons why Captain Marvel is an absolutely terrible choice to lead the MCU now.
    1
  730. Nope. Luckily I went to high school with the manager of my local cinema, so free tickets for me.
    1
  731. One could make a similar argument about people who critique the critiquers
    1
  732. Thanks! With almost a million views, I think it turned out ok.
    1
  733. You can make a show unpredictable AND keep it consistent with the narrative framework it spent years creating, instead of pulling some bullshit deus ex-machine resolution. But then, that would require good writing.
    1
  734. Erm... how about Han, Luke, Wedge, Obi Wan, Vader, Tarkin or Lando to name but a few? Your counter-argument makes about as much sense as The Last Jedi itself.
    1
  735. So Luke risked his life to protect his friends, and that one decision makes him an idiot in your mind? Vader was an idiot for not finding one man in an entire galaxy of planets? Billie Dee Williams' daughters friends decided Lando was spineless, and that makes it so? Yeah, those are ridiculous arguments.
    1
  736. Yeah, but we don't talk anymore.
    1
  737. For me, understanding family trees is like trying to solve a quadratic equation while hanging upside down.
    1
  738. True, but I suspect in this case the enormous drag caused by the smaller plane would make the larger aircraft stall and fall out of the sky. No way could it drag something so large and heavy.
    1
  739. So am I. But credit where it's due, he was pretty good in this movie.
    1
  740. I know. It's sarcasm.
    1
  741. They're not Nazi's, but yeah, fair point. It underlines how naïve and stupid the Amazons are in this film. Winning battles isn't about who is more honourable or capable of doing more stylish slow-mo backflips, it's about who has the better weapons, technology and tactics. Had the Amazons tried to cross No Man's Land in the face of machine gun and mortar fire, they'd have been wiped out to the last man. Or woman.
    1
  742. Sorry about that
    1
  743. That one still hurts. I loved the original.
    1
  744. Yeah, my solution here isn't a perfect fix, but you could perhaps sell it by emphasising that Kylo was injured and conflicted last time. When he's focussed and at full power this time, he defeats Rey and proves she got lucky first time around.
    1
  745. Thanks, man. Yeah, the first two movies will never be surpassed. If they'd made T3 in the mid to late-90's with Cameron onboard, they might have had a chance, but now it's just depressing to watch.
    1
  746. RLM really surprised me, considering their stance on the TNG movies.
    1
  747. Looks better since they demolished the power station.
    1
  748. I seem to recall that too. Apparently it made the author literally cry... I despair for humanity.
    1
  749. I made this before I got my brain right.
    1
  750. Very well put. The fact he was still estranged from his son after the events of Rocky 6 just seems baffling to me. They had already been through that whole arc of reuniting and yet now, he's just 'gone' with no real explanation. It undermines previous movies to help justify the existence of this one.
    1
  751. There's different ways to structure it. You could hold back the reveal until Peter makes the connection so we discover it along with him
    1
  752. The two usually go hand in hand.
    1
  753. I think it could have gone down the Wonder Woman path and pleased everyone if Brie Larson hadn't been so vocal on numerous, inherently divisive social issues. Possibly a bad casting choice rather than a bad movie. Still, I'll be watching it tonight and it may be that it's easy to separate the art form the artist.
    1
  754. Yes I would.
    1
  755. Well, I'm off to see it tonight and will try to keep an open mind. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
    1
  756. I think the temptation to milk established properties is just too strong for them to pass up. Even if several fail, they just need one big hit to make it worthwhile.
    1
  757. I live to give.
    1
  758. Agreed
    1
  759. We can only hope
    1
  760. Tim, I think I speak for everyone when I say... I fucking love it when you swear! Please do it more often
    1
  761. Neither of us would survive.
    1
  762. It's weird for me too.
    1
  763. That was indeed bad wording on my part. It was a pretty major experiment they were conducting to potentially safeguard the reactor's integrity in the event of a power failure. I'm still unclear on why exactly a power station which GENERATES ELECTRICITY also needs to be supplied with electricity from outside, but never mind. So yes, it was anything but a routine evening. The bit that got to me was where they were reading through the reactor instruction manual and whole sections had been crossed out without explanation. It's just like every shit job we've ever worked in, except a million times more dangerous.
