my problem and toxic trait is that I never got over the DAO/DA2 era.

i know that the new games will be different and I cant accept it. And ofc I want to bitch about it all the time but that's not conducive to good fandom and just annoying behavior

🙃

but...

this is also my blog...so i'll try to always tag as DA critical and put behind read more. and i wont tag it in the general tags

Breathing the biggest sigh of relief that the bending / fighting looks so fluid and natural there is absolutely nothing worse than a boring fight scene

It's interesting to know that Skye Bennet (va for Pyra and Mythra) said that there was no voice direction for Xenoblade 2's eng dub and so they had to improvise their lines and emotions without having any foreknowledge of the game's plot and characters. Adam Howden (the va for Shulk) played his game and familiarized himself with the world of XC1 before he took on the job as Shulk, and he did an amazing job, which shows how much more potential a voice actor can have when they're provided the materials to prepare for their respective roles. Furthermore, if one compares Skye Bennet and Al Weaver (Rex's va) voice acting in Smash, you clearly see they'd come a long way and had been given proper voice direction as opposed to XC2.

Further to previous conversation with @proadhog

.

I love the Alien quadrilogy of films. I don’t remember how old I would have been but I was definitely younger than the recommended age rating when I watched the original one and it scared the crap out of me – so job well done there! I might have been old enough to watch Aliens by the time it became available for home rental, but I probably wasn’t. Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection I got to see in the cinema

But the more recent films, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, didn’t really work for me

They had all of the things needed to fit into the Alien franchise

An isolated group of humans to encounter the Alien

The Xenomorph itself. Shown in all of the established developmental stages, however adapted to fit the setting

A Humanoid Synthetic whose name follows the previously established alphabetical naming convention

The involvement of the Weyland Corporation

But despite all of the effort put into coming at things from a different direction both films rely hard on repeating what came before while pretending they’re not doing that

Cut for plot spoilers

Prometheus brought us not one Strong Female Lead, but two of them. One to wield the flamethrower, have an antagonistic relationship with the onboard Synthetic, to get up close and personal with a male crew member, and ultimately die. And one to do battle with the Alien using loading equipment (or was that Covenant?), emote over the loss of varying crew members, to have an Alien growing inside of her, and to survive long enough to set up the next movie

Neither of them are like Ellen Ripley in character but they still enact their own versions of her prior actions, only without a cat or a small child in tow

We get the ‘literal talking head’ scene, David is 'David 8' even though the number is rarely mentioned, a deliberate introduction of Alien and human, and the ‘just when you thought it was all over…’ and ‘no way to turn back now’ horror film moments, and so much more

Covenant recycles the parts Prometheus passed over, again with minor alterations. The crew in hypersleep are unexpectedly awakened, they once more pick up a signal of unknown origin and follow it, there are a few thousand colonists available to get parasitized, the ship that landed on planet gets destroyed and they're cut off from radio contact so have to find another way to arrange for a pick up while time is running out, there’s another ‘Human Synthetic who’s actually a Good Guy’ (and who manages to buck the silly naming trend), another mad scientist type, the Xenomorph being called a ‘perfect organism’, an alt take on the laboratory scene from Alien: Resurrection, and a Xenomorph gets pushed out the door dramatically

The quality of the plot of the first 4 films was variable but they each had a different take on the same basic premise of ‘humans will find the Alien and then die horribly’. We knew where the story was going to go but they didn’t feel like they were repeating themselves beyond the standard constraints of being a part of a franchise and needing to fit into that framework. But while Prometheus puts effort into establishing a new setting and a new way to get the story going, once we reach the point of alien contact that all kind of seems like a waste of time since it no longer feels like they’re doing anything new with what they have available

are you planning to gif any paradox or tva scenes from dp3 promo?

Hey anon, tysm for the ask! 😊

In all honesty I've not really kept up with any Deadpool promo so far outside of knowing the TVA is involved and seeing a bit of Paradox back when the first trailer dropped, so idk if there's been much else mentioned since but... Can't say my hopes are high or that the tone of the MCU's TVA vibes in any way with what I love about the Loki version so as of now no plans but I'll at least reserve the right to stay open minded about MattyMac giving a character who has to be more well rounded than first impression implies 😅

This shit is so ass I just want it to be over

just saw my first real live not-in-a-zoo bear which was very exciting but what wasn't exciting it I saw him in my driveway stealing a snack from the bags of trash our neighbor has been piling up in a trailer
