Thats interesting, I was always under the impression that the animated series came out as a response to changing opinions about the prequels, not the other way around. But the more I think about it maybe the timeline doesn't work out so you're probably right

True, i think superheroes probably fill that niche in cultural zeitgeist for kids growing up nowadays. So i wonder if we'll see a similar phenomenon happen with something like Batman vs Superman or some other superhero property that was critically panned

Agreed. I'd say Skyrim's only real innovation where RPGs are concerned was its accessibility. Thats why it's become such a staple of online culture, because anyone could pick it up and play it, so pretty much everyone did.

I've been wondering about this for a while. Silly as the prequels were, they were still the result of one person's vision and tried to tell a story. The new ones are neither, theyre corperate and disconnected from each other. So will they be met with the same nostalgia and re-examination that the prequels got? I really don't know

Haha thats actually a solid idea. I'd drink astronaut water in a heartbeat.

I think your right the honesty is refreshing but when it comes to marketing i think reclaimed water is just about the last place you want that kind of honesty

Listen imma level with you bro, if they are genuinely calling it "toilet to tap", and you dont get why people might find that a little off-putting, then i dont think this thread has anything for you.

I mean, you say that but the ccp has a long long history of denying facts. At this point i kinda question any claim made about china

Not related but i disabled Google's access to my microphone and then somehow my phone lost the ability to send photos. I cant confirm the two things were related but it really feels deliberate.
