Stop paying to license terrible IP and write something. CGI and bad-dialogue an original plot, rehashing Marvel shit over and over is OVER!
I kind of agree with this, I think your point is proved out by Umbrella Academy (on Netflix). Yes its super-hero stuff but way more interesting than any of the Marvel stuff since the story is actually fresh (to me anyway, having never read the original comic it is based on).
It really shows there are countless stories out there that are really interesting and probably more deserving of being made than more Marvel content. I don't read comics or graphic novels much at all but there have to be a thousand gems in that space just waiting to be mined for video use.
Ignoring the fact you mixed up universes there a little bit (as others kindly pointed out), I agree with your basic point.
You have all these Marvel movies, where none of the people from the TV shows do anything in them - or vice versa. I mean Jessica Jones or Luke Cage is way more useful than some of the characters that appear in the Marvel movies all the time, stock up the Jack Daniels in the Avengers tower and bring her in!
Same deal the other way, with all of New York about to be sucked into a hole you'd think maybe Spiderman would care about that a little. In fact, how is Daredevil even a thing in world where Spiderman is hanging around New York? No references or anything?
The way I thought about it though, was simply that they were wholly different universes though I know they are not supposed to be, and I thought I remembered some references to the alien battle in one of the shows - may have been mistaken though.
I personally liked the Black Mirror interactive episode better than every single other Black Mirror episode combined.
Their entire Defenders Franchise was a flaming pile of shit. I look forward to a proper reboot on Disney's Streaming service in 2021.
I don't agree with that, and I don't think a lot of other people do as well. In particular, the first seasons of Jessica Jones, and Daredevil were great. I also liked Luke Cage fairly well.
Or maybe you specifically meant just the Defenders show where they all came together, there I would have to agree I didn't really care for it at all and didn't want to see more of it. I find the Black Hand to be a pretty uninteresting villainous force.
I'm not sure what gives you hope that a Disney reboot of any of those characters will yield improvement though. I think they should let them sit for at least 18 months before another reboot, like Spider Man.
You don't seem to be aware that Disney is launching their own streaming platform later this year and they own the Marvel franchise.
I did know that, but the shows were canceled a bit ahead of when that would have naturally occurred.
Even though these shows are being reported as "canceled", they aren't being terminated. They'll just be moved to new studios and production is going to continue.
That I did not know, where did you read that?
Personally like I said, I felt like most of them were kind of played out and I don't see Disney getting a lot of value out of continuing these. But more power to them if they can wring more value out of the Marvel stone.
I can see dropping Jessica Jones and Punisher, I'm having trouble even finishing season two of Punisher and JJ was getting a bit repetitive.
What I was more sad to see go, was Luke Cage - that still had some interesting story left to tell. Iron fist I never even watched so I guess I can't be too sad that is gone as well.
I have to say though, that I'm enjoying Netflix's Umbrella Academy more than any new Marvel content, whose world is at this point generally over-worked.
No coincidence that besides ultra-liberal Seattle, another place having measles outbreaks in Hollywood itself.
You can yammer all you want but how do you explain only liberal areas having these issues? As I said, Texas (and other strongly conservative states) do not.
I have a lot of evidence showing what I say is true - you have nothing but hot air and a mind hell-bent on ignorance.
The first step of solving any problem is admitting you have one - you can't even do that much to save kids. Sick dude.
I probably would never have seen that movie at all, but the acting was so great in that one scene that was in endless memes, that I actually did watch the whole thing. It's well worth watching and is almost strange to see the real scene with real lines...
So it's good the eventually left the parodies alone because it really raises interest in the movie as well.
Something criminal you do every now and then makes you a bad person.
Something criminal that substantially affects other lives you do over 2000 times? That person will never change, they can no longer be trusted to be around others.
May he will be better... in 80 years or so. I feel like that's about the right amount of time to maybe institute some change, though sadly even if they got that much they would probably get out earlier.
Editing cannot be abused if you can easily see history of the edit including the original text.
The crystal clear goal of whatever Twitter does should be to make correcting simple typos as simple and easy as possible. That is the vast majority of why people really want editing. The Clarification feature fails this single simple test.
Editing should not be erasure, but it's also not simply clarification in the large majority of cases.
If you ever used Affinity Photo on an iPad Pro you would not say that. It's more professional than most desktop users have, simply because you can work with a stylus - like professionals do on desktops, via accessories.
I use three 27" screens plus one (and sometimes two) Virtual Reality Handsets.
And you really see no future where those cannot all be connected to a tablet with an eGPU? Interesting.
Last I checked, you had to buy a specialized "Made for iPhone" joystick for use with iOS apps or Windows Store apps.
That is a REALLY shortsighted statement in a world where iPads now have USB-C - and the topic at had is if EITHER Android or iOS will every replace desktops for most users, when you've already stated Android takes joysticks directly...
How can using one finger (touching/dragging) more efficient than 10?
First of all, way more people are typing with more than one finger.
Secondly, for creation of something like images it is not "one finger" - it is one HAND, and have a stylus to help with that using direct interaction, is far superior to a mouse for that case (as any artist who has a tablet knows).
Thirdly, who says I am not using ten fingers for some of that? As in typing on a keyboard which has been more than possible since day 1. Even before I got my first iPhone I had friends using small bluetooth keyboards with Windows Mobile devices...
Also the efficiency of mouse usage is far ahead than sliding fingers?
For some purposes, but not others (as stated in relation to art or direct image control), and has already been replicated exactly for things like moving a text cursor.
Also aren't you rather overlooking that is truly needed, any control device we use to day can be attached to Android or iOS too? That's what really sinks your argument; you are focused on control when in the end that has nothing to do at all with the question at hand.
Mobile devices are based on the act of consumption, not content creation.
I was coming to say the same thing about Betteridge's, but because I know your statement here is utterly false I conclude that in fact it will happen.
I have switched to mostly editing images from professional cameras on an iPad because I prefer it. I try to do all by banking on mobile apps (here failures of the app makers throw occasional wrenches in that plan). I've worked on long documents and presentations all on mobile devices.
Sure iOS and android are not replacing desktops today, this year, or next. But you can see it coming, sure as you can see the lights from the large city you are driving towards scores of miles away at night and know what is there.
I literally picked all the last options the first time. I literally picked all the first options the SECOND TIME.
Brakes aren't necessary for the function of a car, because I can both accelerate AND steer!! Hurrumpf!!
I LITERALLY got the SAME ENDING.
In that case, yes you did. In others you do not.
In order to do what Netflix did they must keep state, period. For example go follow the other game dev, let him kill himself, then go back to choose not to follow him...
There are other cases like that as well. Look up the state diagram for the game sometime. In order to keep track of where you are in a state diagram I wonder what you need to store, hmm, I think it rhymes with Tate.
If your main worry is CO2 reduction, natural gas is pretty good as well - 50% less emissions than coal, so if we really all switched to renewable and natural gas that would be more than 50% reduction in CO2 - way more than any studies say we need to meet.
As you say, nuclear is better (much, much better for all sorts of reasons). But natural gas is good enough for the purposes of greatly exceeding any desired reductions, and it can serve the needs of countries too fearful and ignorant to enjoy the benefits of nuclear power.
For best results, you need to hold the phone FIRMLY against your ear (experimenting for best placement).
Strange, I would have thought the advantage of using the screen as speaker was better and louder sound, since it has the whole screen area to vibrate (like a ribbon speaker)... I guess it doesn't travel enough to really get very loud.
Most modern phones are equally waterproof with speakers, so if it's not really got a sound quality advantage I wonder why they are sticking with that approach?

You're asserting what they're trying to do, again out of your own ignorance
Aren't you just asserting what they are trying to do without any proof of your own?....
Flat earthers bleating on about their conspiracy, whether troll or idiot, are still trying to convert and at the very least firm up the faith
Incorrect, the two kind of people have goals that are diametrically opposed.
Bullshit - ALL of the most public anti-tax proponents are liberal Hollywood elite.
No coincidence that besides ultra-liberal Seattle, another place having measles outbreaks in Hollywood itself.
You can yammer all you want but how do you explain only liberal areas having these issues? As I said, Texas (and other strongly conservative states) do not.
I have a lot of evidence showing what I say is true - you have nothing but hot air and a mind hell-bent on ignorance.
The first step of solving any problem is admitting you have one - you can't even do that much to save kids. Sick dude.
Anti-Vaxxers are notoriously mostly liberal. Many Fox News viewers in Seattle are there?
Do you see anti-vaxxers in Texas? Being near the border you see realists who vaccinate kids as soon as they can.
I probably would never have seen that movie at all, but the acting was so great in that one scene that was in endless memes, that I actually did watch the whole thing. It's well worth watching and is almost strange to see the real scene with real lines...

Forcing someone to work is illegal.
Forcing somewhere to stay someplace is illegal also.
Oh wait, unless they have committed a crime and imprisonment is part of the sentence from the state.
Since the state defines law, they can also define exceptions.
Everything's not about you, your majesty. I'm thinking of the vast majority of twitter users, while you seem curiously focused on only yourself.
I'll let you have the last response since you seem to just be talking to yourself anyway.
Quick, send some of this to every internet user, stat!
See, the MOMENT Apple releases a tablet with a chunky USB-C connection, people are releasing thinner tablets!
Do you fix all your typos by writing on the next line "oh that should have been a Y instead of an E"? Or do you correct the mis-typed letter?
You are a fucking idiot.
Editing is not. It's far too easy to abuse.

professional stuff on a tablet is a joke

Let a user edit once, for five minutes.
Indicate the tweet was edited, with a link to see a diff.
Then you get the benefit of people being able to edit typos, with still the fiery aspect of the full hot take for all to see.

Great, so there are no threats to womens right to have abortions.
Only from over-reaching Democrats who decided killing babies after birth is just fine. Until that point there was no danger no.
No overt religious agenda on that one... right?
Religion seriously has nothing to do with abortion, it's a purely moral issue that exists outside of religion.
