It was partly made out of political necessity but if I recall Mon Mothma only initially agreed to a meeting and was reluctant enough that sseemed willing to back out sooner if the daughter hadn’t been eager to embrace the culture and unfortunately sensing Mon Mothmas discomfort seemed to kind of rebel against her into a situation she didn’t t really want to be in.

Arcane had a very unique art style and did some interesting things story wise but it has a number of elements that irked me.

Agreed I love Castlevania and Marco Polo!

Benedict Wong’s performance as Kublai Kahn is inspired, I love the look at the Mongol Empire, and the sets, costumes, characters, near everything is impeccable.

And Castlevania has such great art and action, great voice talent like James Callus, a team that knows their stuff and references the games with little visual Easter eggs, and it explores some things rarely done like write one of the most healthy romantic relationships seen on TV and continue to make it entertaining!

Arcane has a really good visual style and does some unexpected things story wise but personally some things about it kind of annoyed me, I would say Blue Eyed Samurai is a really impressive series too, not flawless, but really damn good. And personally I like it a lot more than Arcane.

Also while sci fi rather than fantasy I think Edgerunners is really good too. And does a heart breaking look at a cold dystopian system that values money over human life, though I have found that one tends to appeal more to male friends than female friends of mine.

I got to say I think Netflix has a lot of really good animations and some real gems hidden about in their catalogue.

Walter, me boyo!

I am not convinced you have heard a single role from him other than the Joker and the Trickster if you think that’s the case! There is a whole wide world of Mark Hamill you have never dreamed of.

Go on! Step out into the Mark Hamill sunshine, touch the Mark Hamill grass, and breath in the sweet smell of the Mark Hamill air! Why you might just even like it!

“Even though many games include a wide array of unusual ideas, such as…” an alien invasion “… in Majora's Mask”!

There I fixed it! Because there already was an Alien invasion back in Majora’s Mask! It wasn’t the main enemy but it was simultaneously silly, weird, haunting, and tragic.

Nosferatu is not my favorite of Eggers movies but I still think it was beautifully shot and atmospheric. True not the most scary, but for any criticism it has I find it funny to hear someone craving a jump scare! I feel like in general most people I speak to find jump scares cheap and predictable ways get a scare and don’t enjoy or respect them. Lol

The mustache though on the other hand it’s not specifically about being scared, it’s about one of the main inspirations for vampires in the real world himself: the basis for Dracula, Vladimir “the mustacheoed impaler” Tepes! And Orlock has even got his hat! Personally I think that’s great!

Deeply researching and paying attention to the source material is Robert Eggers MO. You see it in the VVitch, the Lighthouse, and Norsemen. They are all made and written from studying old letters and the way people spoke in those cultures and times, myths, tales, superstitions. I love his ion and attention to detail. He’s a breath of fresh air!

Katee Sakhoff is a great actor and I would have been okay with a Bo Katan season in Mando if they had done it right, but I feel like they didn’t really give her a lot to do. And while I sort of liked all the Mandos getting along and everything they set it up looking like there would be a Mando civil war as the different sides all struggle for the Dark Saber which I feel could have been a lot more compelling than just having everyone get along so quick and easy, and could have made Mando and everyone have to make difficult decisions etc.

I am with you on that. I always like it when games have house mechanics.

And the side quests of Majora’s Mask were a big part of what originally made me fall in love with the series.

The way that BOTW reduced most mysteries to being a shrine quest kind of bummed me out because while some of those quests are cool, always knowing what’s at the end of them was a bit disappointing and took a lot of the mystery out of it.

I think I miss the difference in dungeon architectures and feels, the relationship or sort of sentimentality I would get for the different tools that Link would acquire.

There is plenty of great and cool stuff with the new games but for me there definitely are some things missing.

yeah, I mistakenly thought that the article might have some interesting critiques, but instead it’s just gushing over it and telling fans what they want to hear after luring them in with a misleading title. Ludicrous.
