Unfortunately, I do think a script like that would require sincerity to work well, which modern Hollywood seems to be allergic to.

The Aurora theater shooting really hurt theater attendance, at least around here, and then Covid killed what was left.

Streaming services forgot that the success of their business model hinged on being marginally more convenient than piracy.

Yep!

Good news, an official English translation has actually been announced, with the first volume releasing this October and I am very excited.

An anime adaptation of Destroy all Humans. They can’t be Regenerated. would be the greatest thing since the anime adaptation of Dungeon Meshi.

It worked for The Princess Bride and The Neverending Story. Far from “beer and pretzels trash not really worth time watching,” they’re both all-time classics.

Definitely beholder. Illithid is a close second. Owlbear and mimic would be good choices too, but they’ve had enough off-brand imitations to take them out of the running in my opinion.

That sounds very unlike a brown recluse to do. Envenomed spider bites are extremely rare, because it’s very metabolically costly for the spider. With the exception of a few extremely aggressive species (mostly found in Australia, go figure), spiders rarely bite humans at all, and even when they...

I don’t think it’s offensive to point out. I’m not sure we can accurately tell the color of her skin though, the light source being right under her face and a really intense yellow makes the white balance of the picture pretty much impossible to determine. Her hands appear to have purplish...

I wouldn’t call this moe…

Static as opposed to dynamic, as in depicting figures in motion. I don’t really agree with that critique of this piece, but it is a legitimate critique to make of visual art.

Yeah, the solid red spine on the standard covers was such a terrible choice, I would probably have gone for the alternate covers even if their art was kinda meh. Fortunately, I’ve adored both of the ones they’ve shown! Hopefully the monster manual cover is similarly awesome.
