Agreed. Just... wow, on this whole "dark rising" objection. And I too immediately thought of that same Susan Cooper book!

It's not like it's "cold rising" which is scientifically contradicted by what heat and cold do within an atmospheric environment. Heck, it's not even trying to be literal, like saying "the darkness rose all around the city during the blackout"; which would be an ugly bit of wording. In this case, "dark" and "darkness" are obviously metaphors for evil. So darkness can rise, fall, have a ham sandwich if it wants. Yeesh.

Dragon's Dogma is getting slaughtered right now. Maybe not use that example.

Pretty much like most games released going to need those patches.

Do these kind of discussions actually happen in real life?

The Dark Rising part or someone trying to correct grammar? Or both?

I make a living producing closed captions for movies and television shows, so yes these kind of discussions actually happen in real life. You'd be surprised.

I blame Lucas for allowing the princess to grab a blaster and show the boys how its used. The whole franchise went down from there.

Maybe you forgot the /s but movies and television shows is not real life and no 'reality tv' is not real life either.

If you really want to get people ask them if a Hot Dog is a sandwich. Or if cereal is soup.

You've seen 90 seconds of footage, most of which was made up of action scenes. What makes it look like trash? And don't use the word 'woke' in your answer since that means nothing.

It’s way too hard to tell what we’re gonna get by the trailer. This Leslie lady doesn’t have a very strong resume and her interviews are, well, strange. But, everyone deserves a chance, right? We won’t know until we know. I don’t think it will take many episodes to get a feel for it though. So, watch a few and see what ya think. I’ve set the bar quite low though, no question.

I reckon by the end of EP2 or maybe EP3 at the latest most of us will know if it’s worth our time our just laughably bad.

Mwynn loves to derail threads into 10 page strawman arguments as a means to divert from criticism and actual discussion.

Whether darkness rises, falls or goes sideways, who cares. The line is generic and unimaginative, which fits perfectly for new age Disney Wars.

Yeah, let’s be honest, this show has some criticism repellent slathered on it already as many of these new projects do. How dare anyone ask some questions or have some concerns, LOL. I mean, modern Star Wars has been nothing but five star hit after five star hit, right?

Oh….

One thing is for sure, the casting looks to be spot-on and sure to please.
