What pissed me off here is how many people don't like what Lucas does to his movies yet still feel compelled to buy the DVDs, books, and see episode three. Many of them outright admitted this in other threads.

Is there a problem with wanting to read the books or see episode three? I admit that my decision to buy the DVDs was probably a mistake, but I had read some favorable and supposedly unbiased reviews, so what can I say?

Dude, what I meant was there's so many mindless sheep who go around pretending that these are somehow faithful adaptations of the books, when really they are not. In all honesty I don't see how you didn't understand that.

*Shrugs* I never really got into the books that much because of how descryptive they are. Besides, just because it isn't exactly faithful to the books doesn't make them bad movies. This is why "purists" are infuriating.

That's why the character has been popular for over two decades, right?

I was unaware of this... I figured it was revived for nostalgia's sake. My claim still stands. He-man couldn't succede today even with a good show in that sort of fetish garb.

Oh, my mistake--the first two were amazing. Personally I never agreed with the consensus that LttP was such a Godly game, I mean it pussified a lot of aspects that made the original fun (stuff that is supposed to be secret is now clearly pointed out via gimmicks such as cracks in the wall. there is no longer any reason to keep yourself at full health because the sword beam is pathetically weak, etc). Don't even get me started on OOT... the lather-rinse-repeat battles did that one in for me.

Did we play the same AlttP? Even with the cracks in the walls, the game is harder than most games released today. I'll agree that the sword beam is weak, but it is much easier to hit your target than it was in LoZ. I think that's a fair trade. Besides, Even if you weren't a fan of Ocarina of Time's excellent battle system, the Oracle games Were great, and as I said, superiour to OoT IMHO.

Dude, the show may not have been a complete success but it does have a cult popularity. In fact the He-Man.org forums added a section dedicated wholly to the new show. Just go there and say "The old show was better" and you'll see some praise for the new show flyin'.

That doesn't change the fact that all I hear is complaining about the "rape" of our childhood. I'm quite sick of it, too. And there is no way in Kessel I'm going to 'He-man.org" *shudders*

I've heard this one, but I don't get it--what, would hanging around in the outside world more than I already do somehow make me magically realize that Lord of the Rings were actually good movies? If I hung around in the outside world more often, would I magically realize that the new Zelda games don't suck? There is no logic there! No matter what else I do, I'm still going to come home and play good games and bad games side by side, and be able to tell the difference between the cream and the crap.

It's a figure of speach dude; and I meant get out of the house and mellow out. But yeah, I'm sure mellowing out would make you realize that the Lord of the Rings movies, especially the first one, are great movies, that the new Zelda games have very little sucking (Except Minish Cap and it's awesome Gust Jar. Gotta love the Gust Jar.)
