this is the live-action equivalent of those tf2 gmod videos where the faceposing is all fucked up
I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THIS DEAFENING LACK OF BACKGROUND NOISE YOU HAVE TO COME CLOSER SO I CAN HEAR YOU MORE CLEARLY
the idea that people nowadays are more sensitive and easy to offend than they were in the past is such horseshit. people used to throw hands if you stepped on their shadow and calling a person a coward was legally justifiable grounds for them to challenge you to a duel with pistols.
ok every time I see this post I find it necessary to point out Jesus was a carpenter like he legit would’ve used the fuck outta a nail gun
thor: brother! i just discovered this wonderful device called an iphone, i can finally call my midgardian friends!

loki *texting*: i don’t have a phone
Thor, through text: Brother, we need to have a serious discussion. Call me that we might talk.
Loki, through text: One moment I can’t find my phone
Thor, through text: OK
The reason why movie adaptations of video games all suck isn’t because of the differences between interactive and passive media, or a generational difference or anything like that.
It’s because Hollywood doesn’t care about video games as an art form and only tries to exploit brand recognition for a quick buck without putting in any effort.
More proof of this: the Ratchet and Clank movie was good. They actually put effort into it (and had all of the same voice actors, which is something all animated video game movies should do).
Same as the Professor Layton movie.
Also Uwe Boll pretty much single handedly cemented the idea that video game movies are terrible.
Exactly him. It’s not that video game movies are bad. It’s that Uwe Boll makes like 90% of them and he in particular sucks and I think it’s even part of a funding explotation scheme in Germany I think but I forget and am too lazy to go remind myself the details.
no youre right about it. Due to the way movie production works in germany, sometimes its more profitable to make a cheap half assed shitty film than it is to make a legit good one.
This podcast destroys me.
[image description: drawings of Taako, Magnus and Merle from the chest up, one version from the start of the Stolen Century and one version from the end of the podcast, in two rows. The top row is labeled “from the beginning.” Taako is a skinny elf with brown skin and curly black hair. He’s wearing a red robe over a red jacket with a matching wizard hat in the first version. Magnus is a muscular, dark-complexioned man wearing a red jacket, open to expose his bare chest. His black hair is pulled into a bun and he has a black eye. He’s grabbing his own fist and grinning. Merle is a dwarf with light brown skin and long white hair and a beard. He’s wearing a red jacket and sunglasses, and flexing with a huge smile.
The bottom row is labeled “to the end.” Taako’s hair is longer and he’s wearing a green wizard hat and cape that covers the lower part of his face. Magnus’s hair is cut short, he has a bushy beard and lots of new scars. Merle has one wooden arm and glasses, and he’s holding up his Extreme Teen Bible. None of them are smiling.]
