What we need to do is find some way to communicate complicated topics entirely through memes.
I must seclude myself from all contact, like a monk, until I find the secret to explaining 40 year old Marvel comics through easily digestible anime gifs.

There's an alternate timeline somewhere were Ryuji really does drown in the pool and the series suddenly becomes Kannon 2.0 or something. 😅

I think the whole survival horror/action horror split for dual protagonists is a pretty well established technique. I feel like even some PS1 games were using it. For good reason, mind you, it's an effective design choice.
Just wish the more vulnerable character wasn't almost always female.

And, of course, being yet *another* narrative about revenge (and likely how empty it is), a theme I've grown so very, very tired of.
I'm really hoping there's more to things (and to Atsu, in particular) than my first impression, as I'll be devastated if this one doesn't turn out.😟

And yeah, this isn't the first time Cap's engaged in some gross moral equivalence between the Nazis and their victims. The moral pillar of the Marvel universe, everybody.

I was going to say that Lois' character has been hit pretty hard by recent real life events, but then I remember that time she leaked the health records of a bunch of therapy patients in Heroes in Crisis. I guess she really does fit contemporary journalism.

I genuinely really dislike Clair Obscur and that guy still makes no sense. It looks like Midnight Suns? First of all, no it doesn't. Second, why would that be a bad thing?

Don't worry, if you don't end up liking it you can join me and....presumably someone else. There's gotta be more just based on probability, right?
.....right?
