You could still have a TRON movie that flops AND not have it star a sex criminal

Wow I can't believe making a sequel to a series known for underperforming on release, picking an actor known for leading a cult and abuse allegations and starring in bombs, and then using AI to promote it, didn't result in a hit.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

what the fuck do you MEAN you can evolve eevee into jolteon in gen 1 by getting into a trainer battle, levelling eevee up, switching to growlithe, and finishing the battle with growlithe, because growlithe's pokemon index is the same as thunder stone's item index. WHAT. WHATTT

Again technically i havent spoiled myslf but i have gotten way too many clues to have a hunch on what is going on.

Really hoping that I'm wrong and its something else, for once in my life I would LOVE to play something I'm interested in without knowing the big twist beforehand.

Like thiss game is a few years old already and (save for one major thing and a few vague things) I have been MOSLY unspoiled but I feel i have enough context clues to know the big twist and that makes me lowkey angry. Especially since this is literally the next game I plan to play.

Kirika @ridillsword.bsky.social · 10h

The funniest thing is that technically this time I haven't gotten DIRECTLY spoiled but I have gotten enough context clues that I am afraid I have gotten spoiled on the big twist which makes me very sad because it's a game I have managed to be mostly unspoiled til the moment I start to play it.

"silent hill f is too Woke" umineko ch 1 is about family turning women & girls into objects & tools for inheritance and higurashi ch 1 is like watching your boy cousin who is a sweetie pie start trusting old men and calling them based as he slowly deteriorates into a violent & paranoid misogyny

Yeah I 100% agree. Lik often its the story surrounding the game and the circumstances surrounding it.

Kirika @ridillsword.bsky.social · 13h

My main problem is that I never finished the game and it's one of those games that has to be experienced.

Kirika @ridillsword.bsky.social · 13h

TBF I'm not that scard since 1. Its a structural critique/not one of those "media criticism piece thats thinly veiled cinema sins ass nitpick fest". 2. As said, it's a video essayist I deeply like and respect.
