  6. On this Episode of Enshitification and Look how they massacred my Boy:

     

    This is my favorite Peach Ice Tea. On the left is the package Design which they must've used for at least 15 years now if not longer (other Swiss people on this Forum can correct me here), I just have very early memories of the Design so it's been a good amount of time for sure. Anyways as you can see on the right they added a Nutrition score label, a Vegan label and changed the label which says that the Tea has been freshly brewed. And of course moved the label which says Peach in German, French and Italian to the middle. I'm fine with the new labels and the placement of them, it's just I hate it how they made the actual Design simpler and less vibrant. I hate this Stupid trend of making Logos and packaging Designs look much more simple and Basic. I mean just look at the Pringles Man, he's freaking Bald now. Or the FireFox logo, takes you some time to figure out that that's supposed to be a Fox if you've never seen it before:

    Of course in the end what counts is what's in it and that's still gonna be the same. As someone who is detail oriented and likes depth and vibrancy to even the little things this especially disappoints me. But yeah stop this Stupid trend, nobody asked for this.

      Firefox was never supposed to have a fox on its logo, it’s just that a designer was unaware that Firefox is a completely different animal (best known as Red Panda in the West), and then they just dealt with it, so one can say that the slow demise of a fox from the logo is a long-term correction…

      Assassin's Creed was once one of my fav title to play, until I realize they are so not gonna give it's story proper closure.

  9. Now that I've watched all 4 John Wick Movies here are my thoughts, beware of Spoilers of course:

    Spoiler

    First of: John Wick isn't the Bogeyman, he is the man you send to kill the Bogeyman.

     

    Lots of good Action, liked the scenes where he just kills wave after wave of bad guys and he sometimes kills them creatively as well. The Plot is fairly simple but they still had to stretch the whole Story line across 4 Movies so you really gotta watch them all to get the full Story. Now I normally don't have a problem with a big Story being told across many Movies, I'm a big Star Wars fan after all. But this just feels weird, especially because he died in the 4th Movie anyways. What I also liked is the fact that the Protagonist actually gets hurt and has to suffer from the pain, more so than other Action Movies. The Scars in his Face and the Bloody hands are also a welcome and nice Touch. At least they had a mild "Happy End" at the end of the 4th Movie with the Continental Hotel in New York being rebuilt and Winston being reinstated as Manager again. Decent to good acting and I always appreciate when the Animals don't get hurt appart from maybe a bit of hearing damage from Gun fire lol. Killing Johns first Dog was just unnecessairly brutal but at least the bad guy got pay back for it. And it wouldn't be an Action Movie without all of the bad guys actually getting killed in the end.

     

    Overall I found it more or less meh. Good Action, just Basic plot line.

      For me : At the very least, less talking, more action.

      And yes, I agree, seeing the protag hurt and tired makes him/her more human.

       

      IMO, killing the puppy was a brilliant move by whoever decided it, it pulls the audience (or at least some of them) into experiencing the same rage & emphatize with Wick. Couldn't help but think that if they didn't care at all about adverse reaction, they'd probably use baby instead of puppy.

      The way I see it :

      Movie shows he slumps over, shows his tombstone.

      Still a chance for him to be alive.

      Like Winston said in front of the tomb : "Who knows"

       

      Though if he does die, that would be a nice closure too. Sometimes protag or main supporting character needs to actually die afterall.

  16. So ? Just because you see her Input on this Forum as not constructive or helping doesn't mean she or anyone else shouldn't be allowed to Post such Stuff. As long as one follows the Forum Rules they can do what ever they want here. I'm personally a big Fan of the Off Topic section because it's cool for talking about non Tech things as well. And I appreciate that the Mod Team is chill, straight forward, fair and that you can also make jokes with them. Oh and May the 4th be with you all !

  19. Having watched every Movie from the James Bond, Mission Impossible, Kingsman and Johnny English Movie series's and currently watching through the John Wick Movies are there any other Action Movies in these styles which you guys would recommend me to watch as well ?

     

    Oh and I also watched the Hitman Movie from 2015 which is based on the Game.

     

    I have lots of Movies to Watch still, but those are other Genres. Just mainly asking about Action Movies similar in style to those mentioned above.

      2021's "Nobody" is an American-Russian action move starring Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman) and a bit of Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) blowing stuff up, shooting everyone, and practicing martial arts to a huge extent. There were plans to make a John Wick crossover, but those ultimately failed, and the sequel is in development hell. A nice movie, though.
