Don't really see what's cerebral about Annihilation. The plot is basic for a scifi movie, not clever at all. There are horror scenes with spooky monsters chasing the protagonists, there's gore scenes. And the endining was changed from the book, simplified into a hollywood-esque cliché ending everybody expects. The movie's just not good, there's not much more to it. And I'm not a movie hipster or anything, I enjoy mainstream movies.

Never seen Gattaca, actually. I should watch it the probably, I'v heard great things about it from multiple source.

Slightly unrelated, but do IMDB scores for movies and for TV shows use a different scale? It seems like even the best of the best movies never get above 9.0, but even the average popular TV shows are like 8.5 for some reason. Doesn't make any sense. And yes, I know that all numerical ratings are stupid, but this always seemed weird to me.

I thought it did what it wanted to do. Was a good watch but nothing special. Can't remember the soundtrack too well, but I think they did a good job with the visuals.

I will tell you when I see it. Also, you want to avoid using the phrase movie hipster, it makes you sound like a shitty movie hipster. I know plenty of people who love high concept art movies that will watch the shit out of a Marvel blockbuster. It is totally cool not to like a film that everyone else likes. That is why people make so many of them.

Not really spoilers other than thematic, but still being cautious just cause...

+ Show Spoiler +

The whole movie deals with themes like self destruction, allegories to cancer, self identity, and that sort of stuff as underlying themes reinforced by the scifi plot. You can say the movie didn't do it well if that's your opinion, but it seems pretty reductive to pretend like those themes aren't there at all.

Not being a movie hipster means not arbitrarily choosing categories that make a good movie and applying them with a broad brush to every genre.

Or something like that.

Also comeh how do you feel about morph right now? It feels like hes strong but everyone's still trying to play him as splitpush and shotgun, which feels wrong.

He's super fun to play, although I still fail regularly with him since he just works differently than old morph

builds are super up to debate tbh. I can see a good argument for not going EB (one of the reasons I liked early Bfly with rtz morph is that the items synergize with the hero you are morphed to). However, the fact you can one / 2 shot with EB is super appealing sometimes. Hard to say Hard to say. Might start seeing morphs try building around allies more and picking up the "can morph to allies" talent. Would make more sense tbh.


ty! I should probably take any further questioning to morf discussion but yeah not having a splitpushing ult and still building splitpush feels janky. Shotgun still makes sense because you can explode someone and go be another hero for 8 seconds but even so still feels strange.

I'd take "movie hipster" to imply requiring some level of depth or "art" or something to be declared a good movie.

Internet Hipster is a rorschach test. It means what you want it to mean.

Because it's easier to write an entire complex battle royale game from scratch with all the constraints of a mobile platform than it is to get bluehole to make a game that even pretends to be functional.

You'll note that pubg mobile has an actual working menu, stats, squad stats, etc

Arbitrarily making something worse than it is because you think it shouldn't be good and make up justifications for that classification.

Mobile PUBG makes more sense to me than mobile Fortnite. I haven't played either of those games, but to me it seems like Fortnite is impossible to control on a mobile device, you have to be building platforms, and there's more items you need to switch to in the inventory and all that. In PUBG you probably can do reasonably well with just aiming and shooting, which is still shit on a mobile, but maybe it's doable?
