The Medusa Chronicles (3.18-21)
We're meeting a medusa. It's about time this sequel starting doing sequel things, you know? Let's see how it goes.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (pt. 19)
A perfect figurehead for the vast world of perverse incentives within the military industrial complex.
The Medusa Chronicles (2.15-17)
If there was one single human character in this book, with the possible exception of Falcon, who wasn't an absolutely insufferable douchelord, I'd have some serious reservations about what Falcon just did in this chapter.
The Medusa Chronicles, Chapter 2: Adam (2.8-9)
Don't worry, it gets much better in a couple more chapters.
King Arthur and the Knights of Justice S1E3: "The Unbeliever"
Just the processed tears of frustrated artists, congealed and shrinkwrapped through the most low-effort and low-cost assembly line imaginable, and then marketed to a child audience who the executives hold in utter contempt.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (pt. 17)
Jetstream Sam might have been a perfectly good antagonist for the game that never got made. It really isn't his fault.
King Arthur and the Knights of Justice S1E2: "A Knight's Quest"
There was some genuine thought and skill that went into some parts of this episode. Just, not enough to change the fundamentally thoughtless and unskilled nature of the work overall.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (pt. 16)
Courtney is just shocked at the loud-and-proud psychopathy without even the veneer of philosophical justification or personal trauma. Raiden tells her that it's just as well; there will be zero reason for anyone to shed tears for this guy after what's about to happen to him.
Tokyo Ghoul #3: "Worst"
Where does it come from? How do they get it? I don't know. Ken doesn't know either. He just knows that he needs it.
Tokyo Ghoul #2: "Oddity”
It seems that ghouls are more complicated than Rize's solitary example would lead one to assume.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (pt. 15)
I think the entire game should have been like this.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (pt. 14)
I spent an entire mission not wearing this when I could have been wearing this. Why would you ever not make Raiden wear this? How is he supposed to strike terror into the hearts of the remaining Winds of Destruction without it?
The Magnus Archives #5: Thrown Away
A mean-quality Magnus Archives episode. This one sits riiiiiiight in the middle of the other four I've heard.
Katalepsis 2.12
It invites the reader to laugh along with it at the absurd circumstances and contrived plot points, but it treats the characters placed in those scenarios with near-unfailing respect. That is what transforms and elevates Katalepsis into something better than it would otherwise have any right to be.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (pt. 13)
I think Monsoon might - in just his very short appearance thus far - have made himself one of my favorite videogame antagonists.
