    Anyway, this looks class, nice to see Gore Verbinski back.

    Of the two I think THUNDERBOLTS is better overall for being unique, in that it's about mental health, while FF4 was largely a retread of RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER from the 2000's.


    To be fair, while one can argue about its execution I think motherhood and parenthood is a very, very key theme to Fantastic Four, just as much as mental health is to Thunderbolts.



    Also tbh I feel like mental health is something that the MCU has leaned into quite a lot, though really only Iron Man 3, Guardians 3 and Thunderbolts got it right. Endgame and Love and Thunder flubbed it, Iron Man 2 played it as a joke, Age of Ultron just undid Iron Man 3, WandaVision and Moon Knight were too fantastical to really stick the landing in terms of realistic impact, and it's a sidebar to the plot of Loki, even though Loki is arguably the best MCU thing.


    Still, I do like Thunderbolts, I think it's about 50/50 between it and FF as to which I like more. Both were a step up on recent MCU stuff in that they felt like they had their own point to make rather than being all about setting up the further MCU, even though Thunderbolts is explicitly about that at the end (which may be why that ending feels so disconnected).

    I realize this is not the right thread but allow me a mild derail...Redwall enthusiasts that are also gamers...or if you like Woodland creatures at all...this game comes out in two days.




    I've had my eye on this, though I won't get it straight away. It takes very particular things for either farm/life sims in general or survival sims to grab me, but this might have them.


    Also: this exists. And is old enough to often be on sale, I'm fairly sure.

    The epic, high-stakes fantasy I've been reading for has a new book out, and the start has drawn me right in. And once I'm done with Dead Hand Rule, latest in Max Gladstone's Craft series and (I think) the finale of the Craft Wars, I've also got No Life Forsaken in the stack.



    Fished Dead Hand Rule and, uh, yeah, that was a lot. That's a convergence alright.

    I confess I did think when I found out after starting that the trilogy had become four books late on that what would have happened is there was simply too much story for one book so he split it, which is what's happened: this is quite Dust of Dreams/Infinity War/Peace Talks and very much half a story.



    You all should read this series though.


    Anyway, on to No Life Forsaken.
