Depends what she means by it. It’s completely normal for rewrites and reshoots to happen during the filmmaking process, simply because some stuff that works on paper just doesn’t translate that well on screen, and sometimes the actors do something on the fly that is better than what was in the script, but that triggers rewrites to accommodate the change.

If Marvel actually didn’t have a completed script before the initial shooting began, that would be potentially worrying, but highly unusual.

It’s also interesting to include Luther in there. Luther is the embodiment of an anti-hero, and is constantly getting into trouble for disregarding due process. He’s certainly not lauded as the hero in the end.

I’m not familiar with too many of the other shows portrayed, that just stood out to me. I don’t doubt that there are some instances where “copaganda” plays into it, but I think it’s more likely that due process is kind of boring to show on screen, it’s just more entertaining to have the main character do whatever it takes to solve the case. And really good cop shows explore the negatives of doing so just as much as any supposed positives.

Inside is currently 90% off, so good time to buy it anyway. Limbo is full price, but it is a great game and well worth it in my opinion.

The original Duke was much closer to what you described, funnily enough. Go back and play Duke Nukem 1 and 2, before the 3D era when they made the misogyny of the character much more overt.

I don’t disagree with any of the technological suggestions in the article, but one glaring omission is how much productivity is being impacted by climate change. Perhaps it’s something to consider the next time rural areas vote for the Nats or Libs.

That’s fair. I was thinking more about the overall aesthetic, as it’s a bit more stylised rather than leaning towards realism like in 1 and 3.

They are remaking the first game, but I don’t know if there are enough details about it yet to know how extensive the overhaul will be. The second game doesn’t need one.

There’s also the fact that hardware costs keep going up, but there’s not really a big technological leap between generations anymore. There’s little reason to buy into the next generation when the selling point boils down to “Play the same games, but slightly smoother*!”

*If there’s enough development time to implement the option to do so

Part of my enjoyment is not necessarily knowing what is coming next so that I can experience it for myself. Spoilers won’t completely ruin something for me, but it is taking something away from the experience.

Also, to everyone out there, just tag the spoilers so people can make up their own mind what they read. It takes a bare minimum of effort to do so. It’s akin to holding the door open for someone behind you, it’s not going to be the end of the world if you don’t, but it can make someone’s day a fraction better if you do.

Whoops

This could be a smart move by the UK, assuming they will be pursuing new trade deals in preparation for whenever Trump backflips on this.

But this is the country that is famous for the incredible own goal that was brexit, so…

So let me get this straight. JD Vance visits the pope, the pope then dies, and now they’ve elected an American to replace him? Seems suspicious.

I’m completely fine with increasing defence spending, let’s introduce a wealth tax and close all those tax loopholes to pay for it. And then all the leftover money can go towards societal improvements.
