His hammer is just a catalyst
After Odin took his power away, the hammer became a sort of key to unlocking it. In the comics, he never really gets his full power back, and during the Thor: Unworthy storyline he forges a new hammer to unlock his power again. Part of the crushing effect losing his hammer must have on him is the partial loss of his power, which is why I'm sure this reveal with him embroiled in lightning is so important, and why Hela destroying it such a pivotal plot moment.

Blane: Maybe I don't need a new friend.
Jacey: Maybe you're the only friend I need.
Blane: Need, or want?
Jacey: I've never been much for wanting.
Blane: Spoken like someone with needs.
Jacey reaches out and touches his face.
It's clear he needs what she wants.
She's a woman.
He's a man.
The city burns in the background as he takes her in his arms.
Fade out.
Title... 'The End'... "Question Mark."

After doing a frame by frame of this new trailer, I have determined that Marvel did not just remove his new hammer from the frames to hype the reveal, he is actually wielding lightning without his hammer at all, as his hands do not remain clenched as though he is holding onto something after he stands up. So, does Thor get his full power back, as it was before Odin put restraints on it?

TTK was bad since it made any content in vanilla and the first two expansions completely redundant. It slowly but gradually got better with each following content update.
I'd say it wasn't until Age of Triumph that the game actually got pretty fucking good.
Man, I was so excited for age of triumph, and then never actually played it.

eh, twilight princess on gamecube is the definitive version anyway (link is actually left-handed in that game)
botw honestly feels like butter
I was so mad when I realized he wasn't right handed in Twilight princess. My buddy mentioned it and it threw my perception of the game pretty hard.
I still need to play BotW. Looks like a return to form for the series.
He's also left handed in LttP, which I feel was the definitive title in the series.
He's left handed in every Zelda
it was only flipped for the Wii
With the exception of Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild.
Obvious reasons—motion controls, right-handed players, etc—but it would've been dope of them if they just added an option for lefties, because apparently, some of them actually have a harder time playing games like that.
I'm surprised they DON'T have that option... That seems like a massive oversight. I know lefties aren't very common, but it seems that if your star character is a lefty, along with the creator, you should sure as hell at least add the option.
I guess I found the overall franchise's ONE FLAW after all
solonoid wins
You know, it's funny. Somehow, playing by your strange standard of what a flaw is, you found something you could consider a flaw. But where I was content before, I somehow now feel less like I've won.

Miyamoto-san is a lefty, so that's why. I think it's a clever little thing.
I meant flipping it for wii was dumb. I'm fully aware of Link canonically being left handed and Miyamoto being (although he claims to be ambidextrous) left dominant

82 hours - 81 of which are on my Hunter (aka about a collective half hour on my other two)
3d, 22h, 55m, 57s.
I still regret allowing myself to be tricked into buying the taken king edition under the promises it had got a lot better since launch.
I think the game got better with every release, except dark below. TTK is way overhyped by the community though, and it didn't really become something all that playable until RoI, which was disappointing in it's own right, as there wasn't an overwhelming amount of new content like there was if you started playing TTK towards the end of its life. TTK was just not that good at its launch though, and frankly the thing that makes RoI the best era was the fact that TTK released a bunch of free content over the course of year two that was all available by the time RoI came out.

Also after consulting with colleagues who build for a living, without mentioning what I recommended, they all suggested the 8350 as opposed to Pentium, and we all had a laugh when I said it's what I recommended.

And Verbatim, who goes around unironically saying aloud constantly how much better he is than everyone else, is more worthy of your emulation?
What?
Cool how you've started getting more annoyed by me during my hiatus though.
I tend to get mad at things that aren't there too.
Like my father!
Actually, I realised it awhile back, but what pushed me over the edge was your entire presence in my PC build thread. You accomplished nothing except making yourself look like an ass and giving me, an admittedly inexperienced PC builder, a small heart attack in the process. You're the king of looking smart, but under further scrutiny, you're full of shit.
Your Xbox build thread?

Dude, I wasn't trying to one up you or be hostile by mentioning a person that beats your time wasted on destiny score, I figured you would know who he was and be interested in hearing that he's wasted even more of his life, since you both posted on b.net at the same time.
You're taking everything so personally today.
actually i've just started to like you less amd less. i'm not taking anything personally, you're just annoying.
Just like how I'm not entertained by Tetris (something meant to entertain me) so you let loose oceans of salt.
i'm not even remotely salty. lots of people i like dont like tetris.
like i said i just think your need to seem better than people is fucking annoying and i've only recently started to notice it.

But a dog is a dope animal, and a really good family member.
A dog is flawless.
It achieves everything it sets out to do.
Nevermind the fact that they have the glaring flaw of being able to die and that they're a little dumb, which fuels the first one.
But it doesn't set out to live forever so that isn't a flaw.
i think you realize how tenuous and lackadaisical this argument is, so i won't entertain it
also dying is great
most sarcasm neither seeks nor warrants response
so yeah
i realize you're being sarcastic, but i'm saying that the underlying point you're making is tenuous and lackadaisical
I did not refute that.
so are you just done or what
I've run out of serious things to say. I maintain that Zelda is mired with imperfections, and that some of the imperfections jested over in this video are reasons the series lost my interest.

Challenger and Rocketman held hands
Hey you lying fuckwad I'm in a supermarket right now and they sell beer.
That just started happening like, two months ago.
they were getting ready for me

it's looking like i have the most hours played so far
you don't add deleted hours. it's already counted in the character breakdown.
Yeah, they kinda just let you know how many you deleted to tell you if there was any way that you weren't completely wasting your life playing Destiny, those hours would still be wasted.

When you market a piece of art as entertainment, you forfeit immunity to the "it's boring" argument. but why
Being boring, or failing to grasp interest, is a flaw in all entertainment. flaws have to be rooted in some level of objectivity
just because we can never fully grasp objectivity doesn't mean we can't have an idea
i don't understand how your personal taste means anything
They're interactive blockbuster movies more often than not just out to make a buck.
blockbuster movies are art too
•Because if entertainment doesn't entertain someone who pays money to be entertained, it's an abject failure. •If flaws had to be based in objectivity, there would be no such thing as subjectivity. •You seem to think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't play Zelda anymore. •They're also definitively entertainment, and therefore not purely, and solely, art, like you're trying to pitch games as.

but honestly, call me a fanboy, but the franchise (when taken as a whole) is technically flawless
holy shit i'd never thought of that
I need this explained to me because I'm a simpleton.
I like how this video was sponsored by you.

Most people here put years into b.net and know a bunch of people who posted there before we started this site.
But yeah, let's keep the three year ruse that this isn't a Bungie offsite and we're not part of their community going.
that's not the point, he isn't a user here and it was obvious to everyone except yourself that i'm talking about the people on our forum.
how about you go 24 fucking hours without trying -- and failing -- to one-up someone to appease your deep-rooted self-esteem issues?

your disinterest in the franchise comes down to your personal taste, but your personal taste does not dictate whether something is "flawless" or not when you're trying to be objective
there are movies out there that i don't enjoy, but i'd have to concede that they are technically flawless regardless of my personal distaste
that doesn't mean they're perfect; it means that the director succeeded in everything that he attempted to do, and i can't argue with that—and i can tell you one thing: "pleasing everybody" is one thing that is NOT on any artist's agenda (or at least, any artist with an ounce of wisdom)
Being boring, or failing to grasp interest, is a flaw in all entertainment. Stop pretending you can ever gauge media objectively. And stop pretending video games are art. They're interactive blockbuster movies more often than not just out to make a buck.

Oh, sorry.
I forgot being boring isn't a fundamental flaw in entertainment.
i'm looking at zelda as an artistic oeuvre, not a piece of entertainment
sometimes art is boring, and not everyone is gonna like certain pieces of art
personally i find most zelda titles exhilarating and beautiful
When you market a piece of art as entertainment, you forfeit immunity to the "it's boring" argument. I can watch indie films and be impressed by their artistic integrity, but when I see trailers, merchandise, and go to the box office to buy tickets, I expect to be entertained. Zelda hasn't given me a lot of reason to keep playing since the N64. Some people get by just fine with the new offerings. Zelda presents (and sells) itself as a piece of entertainment, and so, if it wants to be known as perfect (or flawless) as a franchise, it's going to have to start being universally entertaining to everyone. Which is impossible. But that's okay, because people still like it, and it clearly has a lot going for it if they're still buying it after so many years. There are a number of reasons why I (and others) stopped playing some time ago though, and as I said many posts ago, that's okay too.
