Re: Official Best Movies Thread
Cosidering some people supposedly don't care about who plays Bond, they put a considerable effort into posting about this very subject and also insulting other people here for no apparent reason. Is it that hard to understand that it is annoying if movies focus on political messages, especially when...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
We are going in circles, because you refuse to address the most important point: YOU want to change the status quo. YOU are trying to defend the hypothetical of Bond being something that he current isn't. You haven't made a single argument for that, when the burden of proof is on you. Clearly, this ...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
But I really don't see why you care so much to change this. Why is it important to you to have a female or trans Bond? Why do you even give a damn? I don't get it. i think you misunderstand. i don't personally care whether or not the next bond is a woman or is transgender, that's not what was being...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
Well duh. Which is why the origin of this whole debate is that I "wouldn't watch a movie like that".
And of course something being artistic freedom doesn't mean it can't be criticized. Otherwise you might as well abolish all movie reviews.

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
Idris Elba is a fantastic actor irrespective of his skin color. If he was chosen "because we need a black Bond", I would have a problem with that as well. But seeing that Bond's skin color really doesn't matter one bit and is afaik never mentioned nor does it affect any plot or relationshi...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
You are trying to change the status quo, which is Bond being a (non trans) man. The burden of proof is on you. IF someone were to change that intentionally, the question would be: why? And considering the current political debates all over the world about inclusion, representation, "being heard...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
Cometk, I just don't really understand why you are so insistent on having a woman or a trans person play James Bond. What is it to you? If it is not about some sort of political statement, why care? There's obviously nothing wrong with having female or trans main characters, but why try to change es...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
[mention]u11867[/mention] what would you think if they made a new james bond flick which portrayed him as a transgender man, and perhaps the role was also performed by a transgender man? Huh? James Bond has never been portrayed as trans, this would quite obviously just be a political statement. I j...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
See above, cf. Idris Elba: Btw, this is very different from e.g. having Idris Elba as Bond, which I would be entirely fine with, I think he's a great actor. James Bond is established as male in-universe: it affects his dresscode, his behavior, the way he is addressed, his love life etc. However, him...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
However, if Bond was played by a woman, I wouldn't see the movie. Just too obvious attempt to be "modern, political" etc. what about a main character being a woman is "modern, political" :| :| :| I don't mind a character in a movie (or the main character) being a woman at all. W...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
I don't mind character and worldbuilding at all, nor do I dislike slower films. But: Firstly, this is still a sci-fi movie with a relatively straight forward plot (classic villain, typical "nature destruction", "unite with the natives against the evil capitalists" etc.) so it doe...

Re: Official Best Movies Thread
I don't mind having a "strong female" in the movie (although I find it annoying if political messages are too on the nose) and I feel the last Bond movie did it okay-ish (although the 007-woman seemed a bit of a useless character most of the time). However, if Bond was played by a woman, I...

Re: Who's gonna do well in EGCTV's Genesis tournament?
First impressions, of course on a very limited basis due to the lack of time and games thus far: General RTS skills translate very well to aoe4. Not a single truly new face got far in the tournament, every single player in the later rounds had probably thousands of hours of more or less competitive ...

Thoughts on Dune? I found the images, soundtrack, designs, worldbuilding amazing, really impressive. But I felt the story to be a bit slow and the pacing sometimes a bit off. I don't mind slower movies at all, I enjoyed the Irishman and others like it. But I felt with Dune there was just a bit much ...

Any predictions? Will any participating Aoe3 player excel?
The list of players is now out. We apparently have a lot of top players from different games, see here for example:

Re: Watching GUA go beast mode in the AOE 4 ladder makes me think how easily Kaiser + Hazza would be no.1 there
For tournaments, do keep in mind that they will presumably mostly have the AoE2 style of civ picking, i.e. something like free pick no repeat. So not the classic AoE3 style of "agreeing on a first round, then counter-picking". This could also affect the popularity of civs etc. (the reason ...

I'm not gonna make a thread about it, but will the big AoE4 tourney be advertised on ESOC as well? I don't see it anywhere, for some reason. :)
