TLDR; to stop Trump, the entire Plinkett list of how to "easily" stop Palpatine was attempted. Yes, even the physical confrontation thing. Did NOT work. Though it seemed as "easy and obvious that it's mindboggling" to stop Trump doing that as was Palpie.

While the whole review is on point, Plinkett suddenly shows that he has no grasp on politics when he says "the opportunities to stop Palpatine from taking power are so obvious and easy, it's mindboggling" and goes off on his list, which includes things such as "If he changed the law, argue to make a new law to change it back, then ask him to state his reasons why it shouldn't be

I think the ultimate problem with an Evangelion remake/rebuild/whatever is that, no matter where the story tries to go, it will ultimately have to go to Instrumentality/The Whatever Impact.

Nobody wants to revisit this plot point. But where can the series go, except there?

I don't think anybody liked it even the first time around (it was novel the first time, maybe, but that's it).

It's like an albatross around Evangelion's neck, making all character actions and thoughts, as well as plot threads, ultimately pointless and irrelevant.

We know it's going to happen. We know Shinji is going to reject it and regular life resumed. Or accept it, and we get to sit through a full hour of Anno pseu

Something that strikes me as odd is: in the ending, if Light had won, what was his plan after killing everyone? Wouldn't it be REALLY suspicious if he just showed the next day to work saying "oh, my entire team is dead, along with some Americans who were trying to catch Kira... yeah only I survived and for no reason, lucky me!".

Or was he going to then come out the kira closet and reveal himself and go public? In that case, why not kill everyone in another way that doesn't involve an all-in gambit with no plan b? see below:

The ending gambit was weak. And Light's criticism of Near as "you are going to lose because you wanted to win too beautifully" is sorta dumb when he is the one trying t

First of all, I think Silent Hills is going to be great and a quality production (and a world apart from the crap we've endured since Homecoming) but: it's NOT Silent Hill. Just like anything outside 1-3 is not Silent Hill.

I don't think Kojima or Del Toro have it in them. Del Toro is obsessed with remaking things like The Orphanage and Mama over and over. Crappy ghost stories. He's overrated, and again, what he does is not SH.

And Kojima is basically a one-hit wonder (MGS 1) and ever since everything he has done has been characterized by having one or two interesting ideas, but ultimately the whole thing is half-baked, pretentious and vacuous. Also, he surrounds himself with yes-men who l

It's been a while since I played MGS4 but now that I think about it, as far as I can recall, other than escorting mark 2 to upload Sunny's virus, nothing he did had any effect whatsoever in the overall plot.

The only thing he accomplishes in each act is meeting other characters for plot exposition. But all of his objectives are either not accomplished or when accomplished it turns out to be what Ocelot had been planning all along.

Let's see the score card

Act 1: Liquid untouched. Whole trip pointless.

Act 2: Naomi rescued. But this was just part of her plan anyways and she betrays them soon after.

Act 3: Utter, complete, absolute failure in every way.

Act 4: Nukes unrecovered. Failure
