Simple answer, no. Long answer: There are numerous issues with using FF.net as a measuring stick. First of all is simple age. Every series has a different age and this will obscure the true popularity as obviously series with a longer history will have more content. Further particularly...

Not really sure what they could do with things now. Rey is a boring ass character. I was hoping they'd improve her this installment, but instead they doubled down on pretty much everything wrong with her character. Finn is okay but just not interesting enough to carry things. Poe is similar...

For the bullets, no. Percussion caps weren't made till about mid 1800s and without this basic you can't even come close to making a working bullet. Even if you had an expert of the time examining existing bullets, highly doubt anyone could reverse engineer the impact explosive of the cap from...

Generally three things trigger my 'this is just a lunatic not worth my time' sensor: 1. Espousing a certain position but very plainly contradicting that position. I can give people slack if it is a very hidden contradiction, but when the contradiction is obvious and they still don't see it...

The problem with any Death Battle with Alucard is it is actually quite boring. Due to having Schr?dinger in him, he's essentially invincible, but since having Schr?dinger in him forced him to kill off all the other souls in him. So the fight is EXTREMELY binary and uninteresting. Either the...

That's actually been a problem with the proposed time travel theory from moment one meaning they have been wrong uptil now when John says it doesn't matter. Think of it this way, going back all the way to T1. We know Reese did not go simultaneously back with the T1 Terminator. He was sent...

It had moments, but also lots of bad moments too. I don't hate it, but definitely nothing higher than mediocre in my mind.

There is no doubt this is plenty F'ed up, and apparently contrary to United's policy too as they should never have allowed boarding in the first place. I have no doubt this will have legal action result and probably a hefty settlement.

3 episodes in right now, and the first impression... isn't good, but that's mostly because it played two cards in story telling that really irk me personally. The 1st episode was the whole 'hey, it's my, Danny... honest!' episode which was just chalked full of awkward moment after awkward...

The problem with the DCEU is they just can't seem to set a consistent standard. Marvel has been branching out more and more lately, but each movie is very internally consistent feel wise, and they have a very solid base to work. DCEU is much more conflicted and doesn't have that solid base...

I got called... and said call was cancelled before I even had a chance to go. I probably wouldn't get on a jury anyway, given my education level. Both sides tend to kick people like me, as I have been told, probably due to me being a wild card, able to both seriously question experts on their...

I've mostly seen it thrown around at those who seem to want to be in as "special" a category as possible, even to the point of being contradictory. Yes, it is often tossed at the LGBT... choose whatever additional letters/symbols/numbers you wish to add... types, but typically not for the...

Well, for starters, there are two types of opinions that are getting a bit conflated together there: 1. let's call it the professional opinion. This is your judgment on a matter of fact. 'it is my professional opinion that the dna comes from the defendant'. Since this one is grounded in...

I personally didn't find bioshock that great either. It was amusing enough, but the reviews were making it into so much more than it was. It's story is cute, and the twist most interesting of all (not the twist it copied from SS2, the other one), but ultimately it wasn't that great, especially...

Sounds more like it is more a hyper loyal fanbase. I would say fanbases there are simultaneously hyper loyal and hyper critical are the most toxic ones. It is a weird contradiction where the game is never good enough, but any outside critique of the game is a high crime. Fortunately, only...
