Grey and dark is fine. Look at Game of Thrones or The Dark Knight. Those were dark AF. The problem is you have to have a good story first. If the story isn't good then it won't matter if it's light, dark, serious or funny. You have to tell a good story first. And then have good...

Anything from Really Slow Motion.

Most of Star Wars was directly ripped off from Valerian and Laureline: "In Sci-Fi Chronicles: A Visual History of the Galaxy?s Greatest Science Fiction, contributor Matt Bielby details some of the designs and concepts in the Star Wars films that are similar to elements that first appeared in...

I'm not sure if you're American or not, but the above snippet from your post actually gives me hope for the movie. I know that sounds snarky, but here's the thing: most Americans (of which I am one) like their movies obnoxiously loud with lots of action, bright colors, louder music and as...

I binge watched the hell out of this series last weekend, and now I'm badly craving season 3, especially with how season 2 ended. I loved how Yato, Yukine and Hiyori have developed into a family unit, and how Yato ultimately finds his purpose. All the other characters are great as well...

Honestly, thank you so much for your answer. I completely understand your last point about fundamental uncertainty, and how an interpretation of quantum mechanics could mean loss of information. That makes total sense to me. Black holes aren't really violating anything. We are. (That's how I...

I'm a huge geek for space and always watch YouTube videos about the universe, new discoveries, its exploration, how it works, etc. And my favorite thing about space is black holes. They are so freaking interesting to me. Black holes are controversial for a number of reasons, chief among...

You're probably going to laugh at me, but I really like Lord Beerus from Dragon Ball Super. He's the god of destruction of Universe 7 in the DB multiverse. And the thing is, I only recently got into DBS because it's on Adult Swim. Beerus' story arc with Goku had me utterly hooked. Before...

The main problem with the DCEU is Zack Snyder. Some say David Goyer as well, but remember he wrote the Nolan trilogy (obviously with help and supervision from Nolan). But Snyder is the guy responsible for this debacle. It's his vision, his execution, his story and ultimately, his films. You...

Spiderhead from The Thing traumatized me as a kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15hHUK1lIgk

The movie was very disappointing on so many levels. First off, let me just preface my remarks by saying I'm not really familiar with the source material. I never saw the 1995 original anime and never read any of the manga. Of course I know about GITS but that's mainly because I'm a geek for...

This absolutely made my weekend. I kept the Adult Swim app open all day Saturday and just watched it on a loop. I have been dying for Season 3 since the cliffhanger (and excellent) Season 2 finale. The writing on this episode was superb. Rick was the most Rick out of all the Ricks and we...

That's why I said comic books AND superheroes. But to answer your question, Star Wars was inspired largely by Valerian, a long-running French comic. There's a movie adaptation coming out this year from Luc Besson. Star Wars was also inspired by various religions and myths, but to deny it...

Of course, the irony here is that literally every single title you mentioned were all inspired by comic books and superheroes.

I'll take that as a hint to write a bit more as to why I liked DA:I. :) I liked it because of the characters and because it felt like the game went back to its roots. It was also clearly influenced by Skyrim. If the OP didn't like the first game, then he/she wouldn't like this game because...
