Poor Things Movie Review Emma Stone Shines Bright

Emma Stone: ‘Poor Things’ Movie Review Emma Stone can sing and move, yet in the absurdist “Poor Things” she’s a cheerful sight immaturely slamming utensils against a supper table, wolfing down tarts, and finding sweat-soaked lewd enthusiasm in a French bordello. The Oscar-winning entertainer reteams with “The Number One” chief Yorgos Lanthimos for this unusually awesome Victorian-period…

Trailer: “Poor Things” (2023)

[i-think-i-thunk]

I see so many posts talking about how Eddie can't wrap gifts or bake for shit and Steve is amazing at it.

Well I call bullshit.

Eddie had Wayne there to teach him. To sit down with him and answer his million questions and laugh when something turned out a little funky. Wayne would say it's wholly Eddie, which makes it perfect.

Steve didn't have that. He had parents who were barely around, much less teaching him these things when they were. Steve survived off school lunches, box dinners, and whatever Claudia Henderson made for him. Steve 100% buys gift bags for every present he gives.

Steve may have grown up with his parent's money, but Eddie grew up with Wayne in his corner.

Man meets Morbol

That moment when you and your little brother wanted a late night snack and you have to sneak around but instead you see one of your mentors, who also wanted a late night snack, wandering around and his eyes glow in the dark.

Aka I am a firm believer in the cryptid Hydro agenda.

bestie, idk who lied to you, but that film was never meant to be an eat the rich film. there is a huge difference between messaging and setting and I am begging everyone to understand that.

Poor Things (2023)

[hanakihan]

On side note

Salieri still as a Avenger class servant, but his mechanics and overall vibe is similar to Seele and Veliona

Watch poor musician being for some reason summoned in Avenger class and having no idea the fuck is happening only to have a really angry and protective being floating around you who wears your face but has insane bloodlust.

Antonio Salieri and Gray Man being semi separate beings who are bound to be one in soul, and they’re weird unstable hybrid of ruler and avenger in one class

The Up and Downs in the Life of Eddie Munson

The other one didn't seem angsty enough and I am in a mood. Grab your tissues, my friends!

~*~*~*~

Eddie knew he was never going to amount to anything, Munsons never did. For him especially though, it wasn’t written in the stars that his life would be for naught. The universe and fate were against him from the get-go. His life was on a downward slope since the day he was born. 

On that one freezing night in December, Mary Munson was rushed to the emergency room to deliver a premature baby boy. After four hours of excruciating labor, a C-section was performed and baby Edward Munson was born (he would later joke that he’d never been in a vagina a single moment of his life). He had to stay in the NICU for weeks until his preemie lungs were strong enough to handle the cold of the Indiananian winter. Less than a month old and Eddie was already the biggest burden to his parents. Old Richie Munson had to find extra work to pay off the extensive medical bills and he took it out on his wife. 

Poor Mary struggled on her own to take care of Eddie. He was a colicky baby so when he did go home from the hospital, he kept his mom up all day and night with wailing cries. She had no choice but to turn to drugs to escape the torments of being a young mother with a raucous baby and an absent husband. He was only seven years old when he found her body in the kitchen. She’d done heroin that was laced with fentanyl and her abused heart never stood a chance. 

When he was eleven, his dad got arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and armed burglary. He’d been trying to put food on the table for Eddie after losing his job and had gotten too sloppy through desperation. When the nasally and overworked social worker dragged him away from his dad in the visitation room, he thought he was going to be placed in foster care. Instead, his bald-headed and knobby-kneed self was plopped onto the trailer porch of his dad’s estranged brother. 

The man introduced himself as Uncle Wayne and he might have been the best thing to happen to Eddie. He didn’t hit him when he got frustrated like Eddie’s dad did. He didn’t turn to drugs and alcohol when he threw a tantrum like his mom had. Instead, Uncle Wayne was patient. He didn’t get mad at him when Eddie flinched away at physical touch or when he didn’t talk for the first six months of moving to Hawkins. No, Wayne earned his trust and looked out for him from the very first moment he laid eyes on him. He was a good guy and an even better uncle. 

That’s why it hurt so much to leave a dead girl in his trailer for him to find when he got off shift. Over Spring Break, his potential that was steadily declining rapidly accelerated. He went from being the weird, gay, metalhead teenage loser that no one liked to the serial killer of three fellow high school students that couldn’t graduate and led a cult in his free time. He ran away from the murder of a girl that had been nice to him and started getting hunted by the Hawkins townsfolk in a ridiculously uncoordinated witch hunt. He almost certainly wasn’t going to graduate this year, not from the inside of a prison cell because that’s where he was headed. 

And all of that doesn’t even mention the demon from another dimension that chose to paint Eddie as a scapegoat. ‘86 really wasn’t his year. 

Nothing has ever gone right for Eddie in his life and he knew it never would. So when he saw an opportunity to save his young friend and the rest of the world, he jumped on it. He couldn’t protect Henderson from inside the trailer with the bats prying themselves through the vents. He had to go out and fight them. Eddie knew as soon as he saw the swarm that that was how his life would end. If Steve Harrington, god among men, couldn’t hold his own against them, what chance did he have? Like an answer to his own prediction, the bats attacked. They tore through his chest and ripped his skin as if it were paper. The blood that gushed from his wounds bathed Eddie in warmth quickly followed by an empty numbness. When all of the bats fell from the sky, Eddie had the brief thought that just like all of his other suffering, his death would be for nothing too. 

The next moments passed in a haze, his body was going into shock. Dustin cried and begged him to get up. Harrington pulled him into his arms and sprinted for the gate. The girls yelled in the background of it all. And Eddie slipped away from the world that had only ever looked down on him.

He awoke in a drab white hospital room. His body felt heavy but he could move and he could feel his heart beating, his lungs breathing. Eddie was confused as all hell but he was alive. When he looked to his right, he saw Steve Harrington lounging in the uncomfortable hospital chair, head tilted unnaturally with drool dripping from one side of his mouth. For the first time in Eddie’s entire life, things started to look up.

I remember hearing that Veilguard was originally supposed to be a completely different genre of game, like online multiplayer or something, that was later retooled into a single player one

yeah that's true, sortof

the game has been rebooted twice. Originally it was a single player taking right after DAI: Trespasser that focused on Solas' elven rebellion. Then they drifted to another version of the game that still had that in focus but more detached from DAI. Eventually this version was forced into a Multiplayer mode which had to completely rewrite the genre of the game. Then finally we could get to the current version of the game.

Out of the 10 years of development this game was stuck in, we only have the last 3 years of development into Veilguard. I have the artbook, i know just how drastically stuff were cutdown. It was a completely different game at the start.

The Multiplayer mode is where i can see a lot of the flaws coming from. Mainly the hyper-sanitization of the setting and of the factions the protagonist can be a part of. I can sense the marketting aspect of "you need to remove the slavery inherent to the Crows because else people won't want to get into this faction and we need all of them to be balanced :(" It also feels with how unbalanced the content is for each faction, since they started out as more neutral group players would evenly spread themselves through, but once a real plot was established, some factions just had very little to do with the overaching plot (rip Lords of Fortune i guess)

Besides multiplayer means liveservice which probably means even the plot didn't have a lot of room to be and that updates were expected to flesh out the start out world.

so yeah, this truly hurt Veilguard then. And like if you leave it to me i can even ramble about why it happened, how EA kept forcing Bioware to chase trends and that the failures of Anthem (the live service multiplayer game Bioware did not want to make but had to halt all development in others games to make) and ME: Andromeda (that was poorly received by fans of the licence and therefore put doubt on the Bioware formula despite the fact DAI itself has been so well welcomed it was game of the year 2014))

Bioware is doomed by horrible management especially from EA and there is still so much of that that shines through the game.

And honestly even a lot of things i think are more ambiguously because of the writing, are probably hypercorrecting because EA told them to tone down some thing.

But there is also problems with the games i think it would be generous to say are fully because of EA.

This is just a game that suffered a lot from its 10 years development crisis.

So many veteran left the development, starting by Gaider who was the lead narrative developper at the point, and he was vocal about how he left bc EA actively hated their writers. Others veterans like Mary Kirby were laid off one year before the end of the project. Hell even now another veteran just announced last month they're leaving Bioware.

I think that evidently this game came with a real troubled production that had people jump ship and a lot of people being so worn out by the development cycle they did whatever they could to get it done with and i think this also shows in the project.

I do feel for the studio and the devs, truly.

But it doesn't make Veilguard a game i can give a pass to. DA2 also famously had a troubled development but at least its story was fire. Did it deserve at least one rewrite? I think so! are the gameplay problems still problems? yeah sure. But at least da2 is still a game i love to think about and am not frustrated about.

I can't be as generous with Veilguard.

But yeah. It's a tragedy in development that translated to just a mess of a game. Doesn't make any of it easier to swallow tho.
