i’ll say it til the cows come home but as undeniably strange as the star wars prequels are, george lucas’ direction with anakin was downright fucking inspired. people were waiting for whatever badass backstory lucas was sure to give them, awaiting a naturally intimidating actor with rogueish charm to be cast, waiting for this masterpiece of badass villainy or whatever, and george lucas is like no, no, i’ve got you. and then he finds the one man on the planet who looked babier than baby mark hamill and says, “his main personality trait will be being weird and awkward, secondary personality trait loving his wife, tertiary personality trait being incredibly good at murder, and all of these traits will do battle on the silver screen for three movies until they all win in possibly the worst way.” that fucking rules. george lucas could’ve done anything with darth vader and he willingly, enthusiastically chose mentally unstable college student who is somehow married but his only friend is his kind-of dad. that fucking rules, top down, that’s fucking exquisite. if you don’t think that premise is inherently entertaining you’ve got no taste
bella was lucky she didn’t have a cell phone of any kind because you know ya boi edward would be blowing up that phone 24-7 going “saw a snail today…. effervescent” or some shit equivalent
either dragon age the veilguard press needs to stop or I need to quit reading new articles because I can't handle the whiplash of 'we're so back' to 'it's so over' every single week until halloween
Also. I know trespasser was a huge deal and the lynchpin for this game but the fact that Bioware still pretends they didn’t literally paywall the ending to Inq and now 2/3 of the only worldstate choices are literally from said paywalled content???? Kys!
DA worldstate imports have always been very surface level for reasons I do completely understand. But those surface level acknowledgements are FUN and still give a lot to chew on for hardcore fans. It’s not that I thought the well of sorrows would matter a lot but I thought it would at least matter in the way the dark ritual sort of kind of changed things in DAI. Lame as hell!
it's extremely funny that they pumped that article full of solavellan then hid the confirmation of only getting 3 worldstate choices at the very end though
“unlike Other Men, we [marginalized] men are actually structurally incapable of misogyny” is a disturbingly common belief that goes unchallenged on here
