I think the series did a great job of making you root for a guy you know is an evil bastard, but at the end of the day he's still an evil bastard that the hero is going to have to take down. But I'm also just kind of over the sympathetic villain thing right now and I'm okay with just a purely evil monster that needs to be taken down. Might have something to do with things that have happened recently.
I get that but it was sort of a why did they go that route moment for me after everything that led up to it. I was invested and then all of a sudden it was like all the emotional effort was for nothing. We will see what they do in the next Batman movie. I guess they won’t give us the Joker until the third movie.I think the series did a great job of making you root for a guy you know is an evil bastard, but at the end of the day he's still an evil bastard that the hero is going to have to take down.

I had one for a few days. realized how much I'd probably never use it aside from playing in bed before I sleep or going on a trip (doesn't happen often). I mainly game on my desktop PC but the hardware/software in the steam deck is quite impressive I gotta say

Dogma was the first Kevin Smith movie I ever saw. While I enjoyed it, it was a bit chaotic. Smith's day has likely come and gone seeing as he's just revisiting the same characters he's had for so long at this point. I'll see a sequel to Dogma but hopefully he takes it someplace new. Where does he go with that story though? He's already had universal extinction as the focus can he do that again without it being derivative?
Fun fact (well, not really): the rights to Dogma were held by Harvey Weinstein until this year, when Kevin Smith got them back. Certainly, he's had a lot of time to think about what a sequel might look like.
Another fun fact: the Catholic Church unveiled its own Buddy Jesus this year. Tokidoki is an Italian brand based off of Japanese aesthetics and they made a mascot for the Church to appeal to the younger crowd. It's working, apparently.
Luce & Friends
The official mascot for the Catholic Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year is named “Luce,” Named after the Italian word for ‘Light’.
Tusk was something of a departure for Smith. The ending was odd but at least he did something different. I'll always watch his movies out of loyalty and nostalgia.
The visuals are amazing, thats a given.
I watched the first season. I thought it was decent but I'm also a sucker for anything shot in a claustrophobic style. My wife thought it was boring, which I definitely understand. I have no desire to go on past what I watched.
I can't argue with a single thing you mentioned. I knew they were ending it with this season, given the expense of it, so I sort of expected a lot of rushing. Just the time we live in.
Yeah too bad they didn't get another season or two. It was going to be hard to top season one, hopefully they can stick the landing in the last part.
I'm gonna have to give that a watch with the wife. The description is an interesting one, and personally appealing as a husband to a Jewish convert who knows several more.
