  • I don’t have any problems with the Valkyries themselves, just with the black ones because there simply is no explanation as to how they got there. Say they’re a lost unit from Wakanda and ended up there and climbed up the ranks - I take it, and I’ll like it.

    You’re right with that last paragraph. That movie was somehow worse than Velocipastor.

  • Nah, I got triggered by the lack of any meaningful conversation, the bad writing, the lame jokes…

    The black walkyrie in Norse mythology just feels like a black founding fathers of the US.

    Now if they would have some narrative as to how she got there, like she’s wakandan and she just somehow ended up there, that would be a whole(some) other story.

  • How is it whitewashing if it is historically accurate? Would you take Schindler’s List and suddenly make SS Officials black?

    Certainly not.

    Would you make the founding fathers of the United States and their fellowship black or Asian? No, they were white and it would certainly piss off a lot of black people, considering the history of the US.

    Yes, actors should not be limited by what they can’t change, yet one shouldn’t rewrite culture.

  • The only reason in my opinion to appeal to a wider audience is because of money.

    Like they can’t make a movie for the nerds of the series, otherwise it would turn regulars off. They can’t make a game too hard, or, as in FF7 Rebirth, they made a character, who is a total asshole in the original, into a loving and caring person and rewrite stuff to fulfill this narrative.

    Also, is diversity really this important? I was watching Thor Love and Thunder and despite the movie being genuinely bad (I walked out of the cinema about an hour in) I just didn’t like that the ancient nords have black women in leading positions. It’s just… no.

  • I love how I opened it and my brain tickled. Then I closed it, opened it again and saw that this is AI generated.

    I tell you, good pattern recognition is a blessing and a curse. Blessing because you see all of this immediately after some unconscious training, curse because you’re extremely susceptible to conspiracy theories…

  • I’ve been using windows on ARM since the X1 Processor. Games that are optimised for it, like WoW, run perfectly smooth. But even games using the android subsystem run very bad. The ARM code is just not optimized enough. Apple ARM on the other hand has Whisky, which is like wine, but stronger. Well, my M1 chip on my MacBookAir gets up to a respectable 80°C, but it works smooth until then.

  • Is there any anime where the main character is just a total unpredictable asshat? Like Voyager in the Xenosaga series? I’m fed up of all the happy endings and friendliness and main character people pleaser who doubts himself. Give me a flawed main character I want to hate, but make him relateable enough that I can not hate him!

  • Wanna have something to chuckle?

    I’ve made a specific email for NSFW 18+ internet websites (there’s one with achievements and I wanted to have recommendations) and this email address, being used at every single site I’ve visited more often, never got leaked.

    Meanwhile I log in with Google and 4 hours later the nigerian prince asks me why I have changed my email address.
