He fucking dies in that film.

When? Too my recollection, he survives and has a brief audience with the emperor.
Mind you, that idiots contention is bullshit, he isn't a savoir at all, just a stand in for the audience. But pretty sure he makes it through the end.
Fact that Last Samurai is hugely popular in Japan makes the white savior argument a case of a white savior complex in itself.
Oh, I was pretty sure he died.
That may been a better ending in my head.

You should be choked up you worthless performative twat. They're doing what you and the rest of ree can't even begin to comprehend. Actually going out and challenging authority. It's something that used to happen all the time but then you useless, docile cunts came along, sat back and allowed your government to strip everything away. Chokes you up? Get fucked.
Another one -
Quote:I'm sad us English don't protest in the same way, at least on a large scale.
The hypocrisy of them is something else. We don't have large scale protests because you cunts won't stand up for anything.
Absolutely not true, for example, we did a good job of shutting down the super league
Weak men gladly send youths into the meat grinder while thinking they’re too important to be out there.
Although the battlefield is an overpriced college and the fodder are overpaid teachers and children of the affluent class. Was talking to a friend who works at a not-as-prestigious university. They’re prepping for protests but are blunt about how their study body isn’t privileged enough to camp around all day.

Quote:I just realised something seeing all the Fallout sales boost news based on the TV show's popularity.
Square's intention with the FF movie and the Compilation of FFVII, and to a lesser extent with XIII (no movie) and XV (video animated movie) was to create a synergy feedback loop between movies and games that would increase sales for both.
Fallout has just done what they have always tried to do, while Rebirth's sales underperform.
If they commissioned a Final Fantasy live action show in a similar vein to Fallout and The Last of Us (did game sales get a boost?), could that potentially boost FF game sales and make FF the behemoth Square need it to be?

What a damn drama queen. If one game is enough to completely reverse all social/political gains you feel your side gained over the years, then those supposed "gains" wasn't much to being with. Look how weak and fragile they feel their positions are that they feel the mere existence of Stellar Blade is enough to upend everything for them.

How can Stellar Blade possibly impact your life at all. It's appears to be an okay-to-good hack and slash game that's gonna sell like 2 million tops, who cares? Oh no boobs and ass I guess. The only reason why it's having such a large impact on these weak souls is that they can't browse their beloved Resetera the way they want.
