That’s the other thing. Take a beloved franchise, with expectations through the roof. Hire the laziest writers you can find, making sure none of them understand what people connected with in the source material. Market it as “look, the movie you loved, but with vaginas now!”

I’m convinced ghostbusters 2016 was created solely to give ammo to chuds.

Yes it was. That wasn’t the primary reason to do it, just a little bonus. But it was and is.

It might be connected to a cultural shift.

If that’s related, it’s because the writers decided to address the cultural shift by making their jokes increasingly hokey and forced. The shift is there in the content.This isn’t just a change in audience perception.

it’s punching down on the feminist movie remakes.

Is that feminist? Giving women a recycled story with a history and a ton of baggage instead of a universe thats really theirs? You’re setting them up to never be their own thing, always compared to the original.

Have you considered a career as a baby?

If AI scanning code for vulns is the problem, why don’t the developers have AI scan their code for vulns before release?

I didn’t realize the NAACP got involved in climate issues but according to this article they have a whole department focused on them.

Wouldn’t it be funny if it’s religion that saves us from Christian nationalists

Ask the outraged masses, commenting on opinion pieces here or on reddit as if they’re actual policy. Truth isn’t the point, anger is, and opinions generate a lot more than fact does.

I see this constantly on the internet. “Some backwater Podunk state puts the 10 commandments in classrooms” becomes “The US puts the 10 commandments in classrooms”. It’s like people don’t understand how this country is architected.

Flush with cash from the military industrial complex, repurposing factories built for the war, and with its largest economic rivals lying in ruin. Yes.

People have never hesitated to say Pelosi, Klobuchar, or Slotkin, for example.

That’s a really good point

Did you ever wish mass effect had a weaker story and Bethesda loot mechanics?

Since the first round of updates it’s less buggy than fallout 4 at least

The original characters were all enjoyable, except I felt Jamie (which technically isn’t a original character) was a little underdeveloped

I felt like he wasn’t really developed in the original show. He was a baby when it ended. So this time around they wanted to involve the actor but they didn’t know what to do with the character, and didn’t want to spend time building a personality for him from scratch.

I disagree. Fewer rapists is an improvement. Getting rid of rapists isn’t the moral high ground, it’s a necessary moral imperative. Id rather have one party that acts like Republicans than two.

My favorite part is that lois had 5 boys, and always wanted a girl. And at the end of the show, she finally had a daughter. And then in the revival they ended up being non-binary lmao. Fucking perfect. Modern and on-point with the original show’s themes.

You joke but there’s at least one person in this thread that seems to be seriously suggesting that
