The Brilliant Design of Left 4 Dead
In 2008, Valve and Turtlerock Studios released a cooperative shooter by the name of Left 4 Dead. A title that revived the co-op shooter genre and made Left 4 Dead a household name. This is how it went about doing that.

Why Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is Disappointing
zhlédnutí 84KPřed 5 lety
While the 2003 Teen Titans TV show tackled The Judas Contract storyline, it was not a 1:1 adaptation. This is where 'Teen Titans: The Judas Contract' comes in; a DC animated film that attempts to do the original material justice. Does this film from the DC animated universe work or is The Judas Contract disappointing? Core Ideas is a channel dedicated to video essays detailing what makes your f...

How Teen Titans Adapted The Judas Contract

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is one of the most introspective looks into the Star Wars universe.

Spider-Man 2 is one of the best comic-book movies ever made. Sam Raimi's second going of Peter Parker's stressful life continues to blow modern superhero films out of the water. One of the ways it accomplished this was the famous train scene. In this episode, I break down the train scene in detail to show why Spider-Man and Doctor Octavius' fast paced battle is one of the best in recent memory....

    It's funny to me how Terra in Teen Titans Go! is more similar to the original comics than the Teen Titans show. IMO, it does also represent hiw the original is not necessarily the best.

    I often have to remind myself that every small detail was deliberately added to the game. They sat down and went through every charcter in a scene and layed out everything they were going to do. And to this day, still find new details in the cutscenes.

    History lesson time for Marvel fans. Kunte Kunte was a slave in 'Roots' who's foot was amputated for his escape attempt. Known for being lashed across his back while his name was called into question. So...when u see Spiderman's suit tearing, (LASH MARKS) while he appears bound to the ELEVATED train (tied up/UNDERGROUND railroad) after attempting to stop it with his foot (hobbled by wooden block), keep THIS in-mind, Kunte Kinte's slave name was... TOBEY. Here endeth the lesson.

    I think the chances of people getting an adaptation almost completely faithful to the original story is pretty hard since most people are familiar the Teen Titans 2003 show take on it. Even YJ redeemed Terra and turned her heroic brother into an influenced and manipulated antagonist.

    Another subtle detail a lot of people miss in the intro cutscene of The Package, just after Kat's death, is the small pause and the melancholy tone of Carter's voice: Colonel Holland: "Noble 1, this is Noble Actual...Noble 1?" Carter: "Go ahead." Colonel Holland: "We need that base taken out, son." Before this dialogue, Carter was always steadfast and swift in his responses to his superiors. Here, however, he seems to almost slip up, seemingly lost in his own thoughts. It's to the point where Holland has to address Carter TWICE. And when Carter does talk, he sounds both tired and defeated. Furthermore, in the subsequent dialogue, we see him attempt to reinstate his usual stoic attitude as he directs Noble 6 and the ODST troops. Despite this, it actually comes across as being somewhat forced. During his dialogue with Holland, we actually see some affection come from Holland as he calls Carter "son". Idk maybe I'm looking too deeply into this, but it's what I noticed. You be the judge: czcams.com/video/QilWx8OtrqI/video.html

    The main strength of Kotor 2 is character writing and ability to roleplay any kind of Exile you want. Kreia's philosophy is interesting, but i think a lot of her stance towards the force comes not from the inside the world, but from the meta perspective of the observer. In the Star Wars universe force would be just another, well, force, a natural phenomenon constantly moving certain equilibrium. It's like someone taking a philosophic stance and trying to destroy thermodynamics into our world. Makes sense from meta point of view, but a bit silly if you immerse yourself into Star Wars world.

    This episode shows how you properly subvert expectations. We assume it’s about statistics, and quivering who’s patient will be the one to die, just to point out that it’s human lives we are talking about. Unlike the MCU who is HORRIBLE at subverting expectations, by making you think the villain will be Mandering, but the actual villain is just a fire breathing douchebag.
