@OliverJia1014 The Ewok hate clicked last time I watched Return of the Jedi. It's not the Ewoks themselves, but the fact that their contribution to the movie just trivializes the might of the empire. It would be like if Newt killed a xenomorph with a Home Alone booby trap in Aliens.

Gen X’ers act like the Ewoks slashed their tires, burned their houses down, and skinned their pets alive. Never understood why they’ve thrown a hissy fit for decades over whimsical elements being in a space fantasy. They grew up with even goofier stuff like He-Man.
Film Facts 🎬@Factsonfilm

Denis Villeneuve has no interest in making a Star Wars film • He was once obsessed with Star Wars — calling 'Empire Strikes Back' his most anticipated movie ever • Franchise was 'derailed' with 'Return of the Jedi' — 'it became a comedy for kids' • Dislikes the Ewoks to this day

@Odd_jedi @ironcrakka We're not doing this. You guys can have your accent and say things however you want, but you're not gonna gaslight us on the sounds you're obviously making.

@PelleCreepy @fleischertoons Fleischer Studios had so much insanely good stuff in their work. They were inventing levels of sauce we hadn't seen before or since.

this cartoon is from 1936. I legitimately thought that was a background painting until the rotation revealed it was a prop model. @fleischertoons never ceases to amaze to impress even after 90 years.

I’m going to watch the Fleischer Cartoons Greatest Hits blu ray I got from @RockinPins and @fleischertoons ! The film restorations previewed online look gorgeous and this set has a variety of Betty Boop, Bimbo, Koko, Popeye and Superman shorts. Should be fun!

@oliver_drk Developers are expensive, sure, but the actual problem is that corporate culture is incompatible with efficiency. Spending $3 million on a consultancy firm to take 3 months on a dossier explaining "Press A" has a 2% engagement lift vs "Tap A" is bad.

@mattmpls33 If I posted some random employee's name and face on the internet for upholding his employer's policy in an overt attempt to harass and humiliate him, I would be pretty ashamed of myself. I would probably delete my account.

TaradaCroft | CONFESSIONS II ERA
Alix Wilton Regan describes Lara Croft as a protector of artifacts & people, and an adrenaline junkie; which means that concept from the anime might be carried over the next games What do y’all think? 🤔

@nibnub47 @DragonQuest Who said anything about the west? Square Enix is suffering everywhere, and it's because of their own poor management decisions.

@criticallyjared @DragonQuest And since when has square enix actually tried to market dragon quest in the west? 11 was so notable because it's one of the rare times they did. The only other time was for 9. You can pass the love on yourself or bitch at international marketing head not the dev team

@gee_oji @DragonQuest The point is that kids have no cultural relationship with Dragon Quest, like they do with Pokemon or Mario or anything else.

@nibnub47 @DragonQuest The people who buy remakes are existing fans enjoying nostalgia. They're neither designed nor marketed for new fans to fall in love with the series.

@criticallyjared @DragonQuest They've released remakes of the classics just a few years ago and they're not connected enough for it to matter. The dq7 remake just came out you got plenty of games

@criticallyjared The Lopporits are actually a GREAT example here, because there's some genuinely good/touching/funny stuff around them and I really enjoyed my time with them, but there are some points where I'm like "how am I bored on a moon that is also a space ark run by bunnies."

@nuhre_ Baldur's Gate 3 had a pretty big team by the time it released (~450 apparently), but they managed Original Sin 2 with 150 people, which is half the team size of Obsidian for a game twice as big as anything they've ever made.

@Born13Sooner @AgitpropMaster @GreeneMan6 You're describing a very narrow and very boring idea of villains. If you can only ever see your opponents as entitled and power-hungry, that says more about you than anything else.

@AgitpropMaster @GreeneMan6 Most villains stripped of power are weak. It’s the character flaw that makes them a villain. They didn’t have to work for what they have. Yet somehow still feel owed.
