Okay, I just watched that episode, and it seems that you missed the point of it. Bob was saying that this objectivist viewpoint is pathetic and vile, and nerds (and Bob himself) only held onto it because it was a way of assuring themselves that they could eventually come out on top in life and...

There was Azrael's appearance in Arkham City where he gives cryptic warnings that just scream "sequel". His exact words were: "I bring a message: dark days are coming, Batman. The Prophecy is coming true, you are the warrior who will close the gates of Hell, you are the one who will save this...

Superman Returns. It was kinda boring but at least it wasn't awful and had Superman actually act like a hero, not just have him be in the right place at the right time like in Man of Steel.

Those points would factor into a real persons confusion over their sexuality, but this is a written story. If the writer has two characters dancing with each other to a suggestive song before kissing then the writer is making it clear that the two are attracted to each other. Plus, it's not...

Dude, what more do you need to prove that a character is gay? Must they get married and live together for 20 years or something? And why on earth do you require the word of the writers to confirm a story element that was shoved right into your face without any doubt or subtlety in it. If the...

Trevor doesn't work as a representation of a GTA player. Yahtzee already covered why in an Extra Punctuation post months ago: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/10656-GTAVs-Characters-Are-Just-Bad

You're not wrong on that one, which makes it sad for SAO that he makes for a more entertaining plot device than Kayaba, who doesn't do anything other than kick off the plot and then end it with a fight. You don't know much about psychopaths do you? Most of them are simply lacking in empathy...

But... your previous comment said that the motivations were believable. It's really just lazy writing to make the main antagonist go "Why did I do it... uh... I forgot." And Ryuk does have a reason: He's bored and has a lack of care for human lives, being a god of death and all. Couldn't Kayaba...

Not quite. It would be like calling someone weird and silly for making Toy Story 4 a dark deconstructive movie with brutal violence, gratuitous swearing, and frequent fanservice and sex scenes. Which is how comics are: they used to be pure, unashamed children's stories, but now writers felt the...

Ah, finally someone else on this thread gets that this anime is shit, and gets why. It is truly undefendable when it comes to objective quality, even if one enjoys it despite it's many, many, many flaws. I'm certain that if it hadn't been made with so much otaku-gamer wish fulfillment stuffed in...

The dark age was unintentional on his part, though maybe not Frank Miller's, and he looks back on it with shame. Watchmen was never intended to be the pinnacle that all comics drew inspiration from, it was meant to be a one off deconstruction, a little "What if" scenario. He's written plenty of...

Did anyone else here actually read the article? He isn't mad at people for liking kids stuff, he's mad at them for taking concepts that are joyous for children and warping them so that they are more suitable for adults. What he says about superheroes is: "They don't mean what they used to...

I like the idea of DC going dark and edgy. I would be fine with Marvel now being lighthearted fun, and DC being gritty and bleak. But DC's current products suck. They have mistaken darkness for quality, and almost everything they currently make shows it. Man of Steel was an awful movie, and not...
