Maybe it is harder to explain clearly, but I'll try.

The divide between the current state of the game, and the original intent of the game-"Play your favorite Super Heroes and bring battles to life" or whatever some of the old slogans said- is a huge, gaping maw. Bigger than your mom's vagina after Fleet Week.

I cannot think of an extended period of time like this, ever, where one element (resource dials and pseudo resource dial Entities) so dominate the game. It was one thing to fight a "broken" figure like IconsV Supes, OOtS Bats, Skrullvel, or whatever, with figures that were not as powerful, or to use a strategy to mitigate the advantages such figs held.

Today it feels more like an accepted permanent state of something like SIF. Sure, your venue can play whatever they want, but the only thing that really matters is resource dial and Entities on whatever your favorite flavor is. At least in any game that "counts" on the big scene.
There are a couple local venues that only play tournies now on the WoL style events. Few people show up for them otherwise. Most of the fun, casual gamers have scattered to their caves to play secretly, like the ####ing French Maquis trying to hide from the occupying Germans.

ALWAYS. Latverian filler which is intrinsically better for you than common filler.

Wait, you thought Cloverfield was awesome? I was rather disappointed by it myself. It had a couple cool moments, but as a whole, it just seemed lacking to me.
I didn't!

Maybe I just liked it so much better from a clean, clear DVD vs the dark, horribly shaking version I saw in Iraq, with some dude speaking in Korean at times, and some guy with the trembles passing by the filmer every 30 minutes, that I mistook it for awesome?!

I suppose that's possible. I know that watching a movie with and without a kidney stone makes a difference in my enjoyment level...
