I love Bob’s but also don’t skip out on their other show, The Great North. Its a similar comedy style but the cast is completely different so it doesn’t feel like a repeat of a show.
Watching Leverage reminded me of watching Burn Notice long ago. It’s fun and entertaining, but it’s also trash, but that’s okay, it knows what it is.
it’s got a great story and characters but it’s still a kids show and will do annoying kids show things sometimes. It’s worth it.
I like to go back to old games that were well regarded in their time but I missed. It’s neat to see what holds up and what doesn’t, but the biggest disappointment to me has to be Secret of Mana. So many people love that game, so I went in with high expectations. I instead found the combat way too simple when it even lets me play, far too often, it takes control away from your characters through annoying status effects. I could not stand it and dropped it fairly quick.
It’s the names of two characters I like. From Paper Mario and the Trails series.
I used to love Joss Whedon from everything he made. I grew up watching Buffy, and loved Firefly, then Marvel got him for Avengers and I was excited for him to be getting such a big break. He later Agents of Shield which I also loved. But then it came out that he was an abuser. His whole persona of championing strong women was merely a facade to hide this.
Learning that Michelle Trachtenberg (RIP) had a clause in her contract while working in Buffy (2000-3) at age 15 that she was not to ever be in the same room as Whedon alone opened my eyes to just how bad things are. Not just how bad he was, but how well it was known that he was an abuser and no one did anything about it. That’s just how things were.
I have a hard time watching Buffy or any of his works anymore, just knowing now that he was behind these things.
It’s been a while since I saw it, but didn’t the Portuguese in Japan hate Blackthorne because he wasn’t one of them? And Blackthorne saw them as his enemy. But he was indeed speaking Portuguese in the story as he knew the language as part of dealing with Portuguese as a trader.
