Ehhh, the problem with that is I don't think any of those arguments are relevant to the subject in question. Deviancy is a virus that is spread by sharing programs but it manifests in spontaneously developing sentience, which is to say it is a "virus" of free will. ... Which is only a problem if yo...

I have no pity for the man personally. But, as brutal and awful as his regime was (try reading about how his sons behaved towards women if you want some sleepless nights, never mind about how he used chemical weapons as genocidal tools against ethnic factions) he did manage to impose some kind of o...

Would you actually enjoy, let's say, watching a movie about the Third Reich that let the viewers make up their own minds about whether its defeat was a triumph or a tragedy? I feel that unfortunately falls into the Golden Mean fallacy which is a real issue in life. If the argument is that the world...

I can agree with one over arching theme in this, if nothing else. (Although I do feel Detroit: Become Human is a really badly made allegory for civil rights because of its nature of using androids) That being that if you're going to ask complex philosophical ideas in your story, you have to argue bo...

Knowing what I've had to deal with last year and everything, I can sympathize. Honestly, I had a feeling you were tired and needed a rest. I'm sorry to hear it got so bad. And I hope you'll take whatever time you need to get yourself back in order. Give yourself a rest, re-watch some stuff you like,...

I mean, Earth in this case is also 'Kidnapping children to be brainwashed and turned into supersoldiers with a catastrophically high death rate even in training, before they met genocidal aliens'. I don't think any faction of humans in Halo would do anything with a moral high ground but use it to d...

I like that he is finally looking at the Halo franchise, I considered making a request myself. I understand he's not very familiar with it and that's fine, but I did cringe a little about how little he seems to have researched the lore. I told him to leave it up to his discretion, but I felt that g...

This was my request, and its been a long time coming. But I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out as it was a fair and balanced critique which was all I really asked for. Specifically in that Chuck would treat the film as he would any other in the hopes he'd give the Halo franchise more credence...

I liked the show well enough as a kid, but I think my main attraction to it was that I was hitting my awkward teen years and a lot of the female character designs, especially Rogue's... well, appealed to me a lot and I kept tuning in hoping to see more of her. I mean, I stayed for a lot of the reall...

You all realize that the different writer will likely change Janeway's personality to a degree where she DOESN'T read like a tyrannical sociopath on par with Rick Sanchez, right? She'll just likely end up reading like she was originally supposed to before they became too afraid of making the first f...
