Man of Steel was his favorite movie and he always enjoyed reminding people how he cries every time he watches it. Wasn't even being sarcastic.
He was a strange cat. An avid Eva Marie fan too.
Mad 😂

Mercury Steam just got that MAHARAJA booking with Metroid 3DS and I for one look forward to seeing how they take it.

You're not fooling anyone, OwensIsNow
I'm cautiously optimistic but ultimately indifferent. I cannot reconcile the photorealistic graphics disguising the still cartoony and over the top combat and animations. It looked like both styles clash (no pun intended).
I am curious about the story as the concept sounds great. His dead wife and daughter have fueled his rage for 3 games so it should be neat to see how his dynamic with his newfound son plays out.

Man Of Steel is dull and boring garbage for the first half
But as soon as the aliens land and it becomes a DBZ movie it's pretty awesome
I'd buy a Blu Ray of the second half with credits

Retro confirmed not working on Prime 4. I eat crow and am shook
it is weird they aren't ready to show what Retro has been working on for 3 years but are quick to show what this new dev havent even started on. Makes no sense.

I actually prefer the idea of Retro not working on Prime, they hit a wall with Prime 3, most of the dudes behind it left afterwards, they shouldn't become the default Metroid devs just because Other M put the fear into fans hearts of anyone else tackling the series.
I'd sooner see Retro finally make something of their own or at least take Kong 3D successfully, this also now has them up to surprise with a title of some sort hopefully sooner rather than later.
Like how Metroid is dead right?

Good list.
I hope DBZ winds up being higher. Looks a lot of fun.

I can believe a few people cried as a result of Man of Steel but I'm not sure it's for the reasons he had.

Jesus I forgot they showed Ruiner (or anything else) in that Devolver thing
Though it wasn't really anything that wasn't posted by More_Badass on GAF. Still looks rad as hell
Data's rankings are pretty much where I'm at, though the Assassin's Creed stuff did little for me. Would also put Evil Within in there somewhere even if the trailer wasn't great

You got some nerve, buddy.
Oh. Yeah. I should watch it again to actually pay attention to the gamez. I was too busy watching the show.
When you read about some of the behind the scenes stuff of Man of Steel you get a real understanding of why Zack Snyder has absolutely zero understanding of the character.
Apparently Snyder really wanted to have Superman kill Zod at the end of the movie. Both WB and Chris Nolan himself told Snyder not to do it because it would be out of character for Superman to do something like that. Snyder retorted with "well what if Superman was in ____ situation" and basically kept on the fly redoing the final moments of the Zod/Superman fight until he was in a situation were Superman would finally have to kill someone. So basically he desperately wanted Superman to do something out of character for the sake of having Superman murder someone.

Lmao
I might. I'll probbaly get tix when the time is closer.
During the rounds of BvS he also said
that Batman being prison raped could have been part of his origin.
He also doesn't understand the issues people had with the destruction porn at the end of Man of Steel. He basically retorted to whataboutism and said tons of people died in
Episode 7 and nobody cared. He completely forgot the context of it being the villains who did that in Star Wars.

They want Cena/Reigns to happen within the next 2 Manias because they know Cena's going to bail soon after. He's getting Dwayne-levels of hooked on Hollywood, and eventually he'll realize he can't balance both forever
Everyone on Earth knows he'll make the same decision Dwayne made when it comes down to that, because a permanent choice between acting and wrestling is an easy choice
Superheroes refusing to kill people has always been antiquated and juvenile.
If people want superheroes to not kill bad guys then the moral question never should have been brought up to begin with.
I'm okay with it so long as it makes sense and ultimately still feels in line with the spirit of the character. Both Tim Burton and Chris Nolan took liberties with Batman and people mostly didn't have a problem with it. The problem is Snyder makes changes that don't work with the character or the story. Case in point - his change to the finale of Watchmen completely ruins the entire point of Ozymandias's plan.
I'm going to wager a guess that Snyder is a fan of post-Dark Knight 2 Frank Miller garbage.
I'm generally cool with superheroes killing but in the specific cases of Batman and Superman, it makes sense for them to refuse killing. For Batman, because murder is a huge part of his origin and for Superman because he's powerful enough that he shouldn't need to kill people. Killing is honestly really contradictory to Superman's character.

If Snyder's changes made any sense and weren't specifically to be the edgiest shit you've seen outside of Hot Topic, I'd have no issue with them
As it stands, he's one of my least favorite directors of the modern era easily, and I'm not ruling out all-time

Yeah I never had a problem with the dude either, honestly. But he came off as kind of a creeper

I knew Tye was gonna be neglected and forgotten on Smackdown but I didn't think it'd be this bad. Where is he?
Cena is the best thing that happened to WWE publicity wise.

Watch his stuff in DDT, where he is the invading heel.
absolutely.
The absolute refusal to kill is just dreadfully boring in the same vein that absolute devotion to killing is boring as well. The margins and the reasons for doing one or the other is what makes good stories, particularly for longform storytelling. There's just only so much you can do with "bend but don't break" morality.
And honestly I don't care about something being contradictory to a character as long as the character is well-defined and interesting. For whatever reason comic book fans have gotten REALLY hung up on these movies needing to be representative of a general idea of what these characters are. At the end of the day I want movies to just be good, not live up to some nebulous expectation of what an 8 decades old character should be.
I will do that
Yeah, as a face of the company he has been marvelous
Well yeah, when you're adapting a work from one form of media to the other it's usually a good idea to preserve the character as much as possible. Otherwise you get shit like the Seth Rogan Green Hornet movie, or those shitty Resident Evil movies.

This argument doesn't hold up against Superman killing Zod though. Zod was just as powerful as him, and would likely have surpassed him if not killed. Plus, MoS was an origin story, it was his first fight. Of all the things in MoS to complain about, and I'll admit there were many even though I loved the movie, killing Zod doesn't seem to me to be one of them.
