The casting conversation for Supergirl:
"Is she extremely attractive?"
"No"
"OK, not a must-have. So she's athletic?"
"Also no"
"So then at least we got someone world-famous!"
"Nope. She's unknown"
"Oh. Well, she must have a great vibe"
"Nah, she will insult the audience repeatedly."
"So then she must be a HUGE comic book fan?"
"Nope. She will say in interviews she basically doesn't know the character"
"Well, Superman is all-American, she must totally hold up American values!"
"She's Australian."
"Hmmm...she's hired!"
<fast forward 2 years>
"Supergirl failed! How could this have happened? It must be the fault of the audience."
@GothamPaladin If we ever get another Spider-Man game from them, I hope we only get to play as the titular character, not being forced to play as Miles or MJ instead. Considering they doubled down in SM2 despite complaints from the original, I highly doubt they’ll listen to the fans
@MarvelRivals I’m happy to see most these changes. I think Black Cat is being done dirty with too heavy a nerf, especially with White Fox barely being touched and Black Panther being allowed to still exist as he does currently
I was ecstatic for the game to come out, especially after Keanu Reeves’s “breathtaking” appearance at E3, but wasn’t able to get the game at launch. it saddened me to see the game release the way it did, however I am very thankful that @CDPROJEKTRED made the game what it is today
After nearly 170 hours, I finally completed my first play through of #Cyberpunk2077 Phantom Liberty, achieving the platinum trophy (#15) as well. What a tremendous game! From a solid story to a well built world, awesome characters, etc… it was truly an incredible experience.
Medallion's humming... that can only mean one thing! It's time to announce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past! ��️
This brand new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will take you to the Path with Geralt of Rivia once more. It’s being co-developed with @Fools_Theory and is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in 2027. Stay tuned for more information in late summer. ⏰
@heelvsbabyface@Nerdrotics Apparently using an orchestra would be too historically inaccurate, but the cast being primarily non-European let alone not Greek is perfectly fine… smh
Christopher Nolan explains his choice to cast Travis Scott in ‘The Odyssey.’
“I cast him because I wanted to nod towards the idea that this story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap”

@Theasianavenger There’s a stark difference between making references or hat tips to other franchises from within your own unique and developed one, and turning your back on the IP your fans who have allowed it to exist and grow to what it is for quick attempts at money grabs
@1ionyx It’s not surprising to see that, after the poor reception and sales for Spider-Man, that the influencers of Magic are working overtime trying to sell the set, even those who have no connection to TMNT
@RinoTheBouncer Monster Hunter Wilds. Bought it to play with friends who love the series and there wasn’t a moment that went by where I wasn’t miserable playing it
