Yes, it's derivative of other better games, but it's main draw is being an MMO. I often get bored of most MMOs, so a critically acclaimed, massively popular game like FFXIV bores the crap out of me because I don't find the gameplay interesting. I'm far more inclined to enjoy something like Genshin because of it's action oriented gameplay. Problem is, after a while, it being a (mostly) single player game means it gets boring as well after a while. ToF fixes the issue by giving me the gameplay I enjoy while also being able to play with others. It doesn't have to be something spectacular, it just has to be fun. We'll see how long it lasts for me, lack of content always kills a game for me, like what happened with Genshin, but with this being multiplayer, the daily grind could be more fun.
I think an older Bobby and Hank would be great to see in our current time. Judge has always been great at finding a way to tell stories that fit the generation he has these shows in. I'd be okay with not bringing back some characters. Peggy could be killed off. Might make things interesting for Hank and she was always the most annoying character on the show, so I'd be okay with that.
@stickemup: I think nostalgia and bringing back old material can be interesting depending on what the show is. Beevis and Butthead is a good example because the relevancy of the show and it's characters has changed. The character still represent something we relate to, but the circumstances surrounding them have no changed. King of the Hill was a show very much about it's time. Bringing those characters into a new age, where their values are even more challenge, would make it relevant again. Part of the conflict that we saw with a character like Hank was how his values mattered at the time and how challenging them also mattered. Now, imagine a character like Hank, now older living in a world that has moved even further from his core values, would be like dealing with current times. And imagine that going up again Bobby, who often didn't share the same values as Hank and how he likely has become even more fluid with his values in our modern world. These are two characters who would probably be even more interesting and relevant to explore, especially when written by someone like Judge, who always seems to have his finger on the pulse of our time and finds a creative and clever way to explore these themes and ideas, no at all unlike Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
@mooglestar: A 10 is a 10. It's about experience. An indie game can be just as enjoyable as a AAA game. The fact that it's either simplified or is lower tech should be irrelevant. For me a game like Starbound or To The Moon were 10's, even compared to other AAA titles that were 10 because they were just as good an experience.
@gaeandilth: People can say and do whatever they want. That has no bearing on objective reality. And objectively, Peele has already proven himself. I don't need to sit here and get all nuanced about why, you can look it up yourself. Audience scores, critical opinion, and critical review. It's all out there.
And even in Key and Peele, he demonstrated his ability to make horror. Look at some of the sketches they made. They may be played up for laugh, but they show that he knew how to make good horror even then.
@storjohan_: Not even guilt, just opportunity. Majority of opportunity in Hollywood is still predominantly white. Having opportunity devoted to minority talent is a good thing. It guarantees exposure, opportunity, and award possibilities for minority talent and allows minority populations to see representation on screen that can compete with other major Hollywood releases. Because of Peele's talent and the fact he has already won an Oscar, his films have become major event releases. Nope is the biggest release this weekend. That guarantees it's leads an opportunity to have the kind of exposure that the biggest stars get. Peele has chose to give black actors that kind of exposure, thus providing them with even more opportunity.
@hulk9177: A. Peele never said he wouldn't cast white actors. He said he wouldn't cast white leads. Of course a white person is going to get crucified online. White's have a long history of racism towards blacks in this country and have done horrible, awful, nasty things to them. Maybe you should consider WHY Peele is casting only black leads instead of just latching onto the fact that this is what he is doing.
B. It's not a double standard because there is a massive amount of context. You can't simply discount history and circumstance because things now aren't the way they were then. Did you know that when writing a screenplay, the standard for most producers and filmmakers, unless it is explicitly written on the page or written by a minority filmmaker, is that the character is white. That has been the screenwriting standard since the inception of major movies and is still the standard.
