@BWells1981 @PiotrNo56171445 @_CinemaHub_ @WW_Direct Or just like, adult actors who look young. That's what we used to do and it was fine

@PiotrNo56171445 @_CinemaHub_ @WW_Direct Well, it's time to stop using child actors and use high tech alternatives.

The HARRY POTTER TV series won't have one season a year
"For some of the bigger shows like Harry Potter, huge world-building shows, it would be nice to have those on an annual basis. But from a production point of view, it’s just not possible." - Casey Bloys
English
@hd__angel_ I've said this before but I can't really tell what is or isn't the case here because there's not a lot of statistical data on it. Both sides are just going purely off anecdotes here
English
I'm at a big university which skews it, but weird tic I see often among millennial commentators is the idea that some tendency or other is "dying" because "Gen Z" is changing the guard, when theyre just old. Plenty of current day college students do all that stuff
English
@MawkAnthony Yeah I feel like the takeaway a lot of people are having from this is that SE hasn't done enough to stay consistent to appeal to younger audiences and while that's true, I think selling to this many 30+ year olds who have presumably stuck with the brand for decades is impressive
English
As a 42 year old, I'm proud to be part of the 62%. You're never too old to enjoy your hobbies. Also, instead of being a doomer about this, SE is still currently in their restructuring phase and this only makes me even more curious as to what that plan is. Good? Bad? We'll see. 🤷♂️

77% of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth players in the US were aged 30 or over according to data from Circana! • 62% were aged 35 or older via Mat Piscatella

@kingjammerson @MinModulation This is what I'd probably do if I was more serious about reading because I'm a slow reader and an audiobook would probably help me not take forever to read. However I instead just don't use audiobooks at all and read like one book a year
English
@MinModulation What If You Use Both Book And Audiobook At The Same Time?

@linkkling From what I can tell he's Chrischan for zoomers, but significantly less unhinged. But also the "This is unrelated but I need your help right now" tweet is extremely funny
English
@meteotek @linkkling There were definitely people online who didn't like DP when they came out for being too slow, though it was a relatively minor compared to the backlash gen 8/9 got. And yeah HGSS specifically were immediately beloved
English
@linkkling Opinions on Gen 4 are a bit of a rollercoaster it started high cause of the online connectivity and resurgence of Pokemon's popularity then HGSS + Gen 5 came out and people started being kinda down on it then Sinnoh nostalgia got big ups in the later 2010s and now it's back down.
English
in contrast to this though. the generational opinion plummet of gen 4 also needs to be studied. i remember around 2019 it was like "this is my childhood game, it's peak, sinnoh remake WHEN" and now people say it was never that good and that it was awful even before the remakes😭
jamie ▴@linkkling
the generational opinion flip on gen 7 over the years needs to be studied bc i remember 10 years ago everyone thought it was weird and different and bad and ugly and the anime was too kid friendly but now going back to them as an adult they're just genuinely peak pokemon

@AdequateEmily Birdman is good but I did a full watch of his filmography and honestly that shit mostly just bored me. If he made a movie about the deaf Japanese girl in Babel it would have been a masterpiece tho
English
I need this movie to be amazing because I need filmtwt to turn around on Iñárritu.
All I’m saying is revisit Amores Perros and tell me he’s untalented. Hell, rewatch Birdman, I maintain that it’s a masterpiece, it just is portraying very flawed ugly pretentious characters!

Sorry but this cast is genuinely fucking insane

@Mang0Reborn As a millennial there were never a ton of Dragon Quest fans in the west. It's had the problem where Enix only gives a game in the series a big push once a decade. Warrior II through IV and VII especially were just kind of thrown out to die on old hardware in the US
English
If this is what it’s like for Final Fantasy I can’t even imagine what it must be for Dragon Quest😭 Feels like barely anyone from my generation fucks with this series (shoutout to my few fellow younger DQ oomfs btw you guys rock)

@inherentvibes Cis lesbians having a higher opinion of trans people than trans people
English
the 7% of trans people with negative views on trans people lmao
Jeremiah Johnson 🌐@JeremiahDJohns
Lot of interesting nuggets here, but it's mildly amusing that trans people are not the group with the most positive views on trans people.
English
@linkkling I feel like the consensus on gen 7 (the games at least idc about the anime) was that the vanilla games were good if you could get past the tutorializing but then USUM didn't add enough

@ranmasaotome96 The thesis I got from a summary of this video is that South Park isn't good social commentary but it's also not the "both sides are bad" centrist brainrot liberal cultural commentators from a decade ago said it was
English
@MargBarCinema (Of course, all film is political, so it's valid to do so, which is why I said it's fair)
English
@MargBarCinema Tbh that's fair! But it also puts you out of step with a lot of folks both on here and Letterboxd which imo shouldn't be much of a surprise given that most people aren't leftists and it's even more uncommon for people to judge film primarily through a political lens
English
there are a lot of soft left "progressives" (liberals) on here that get really upset when someone offers an actual left critique of the new movie they stan
ares@goslinq
this being his phm review by the way. just buzzword after buzzword
English
@MargBarCinema Like yeah they're similar in that they both have quips and center American exceptionally but that's where the similarities end. And if you take issue with MCU solely for the latter then you're going to have to do mental gymnastics for a lot of the modern western canon
English
@MargBarCinema My biggest criticism of this criticism is that I think if you don't understand why people like PHM but not MCU movies then I think you fundamentally misunderstand the biggest problem ppl have with MCU. Which is that they often look bad and fake because of green screen overuse
English
@megalarper Idk it is kinda mutually exclusive in the sense that we have limited time to do anything and most of the time there's no reason to play a game on an emulator and real hardware. Obviously both are great but like. The original tweet said that! I'm not sure what your point is here
English
Neither of these are mutually exclusive and choosing/preferring one isn’t out of spite of the other.
J ♡@juuxiie2
I love emulation as much as the next person but I fear I am one of those ppl where if I have the chance to play it on OG hardware I’m taking that chance every single time
English
@AnimeSerbia It's been a while since I read it but my reaction to it, I guess beyond not agreeing with the thesis, was just kind of "ok". I feel like if I did buy into its worldview idk what I'd do with that as a white person in the west, other than hoping the global south starts a revolution

God this crap is so boring. You have to be an absolute moron to read this
