Publishing Perspectives: Our understanding is that Saraiva has already shut down 20 of its stores. My personal view is that Cultura is going to need to have to “run” all over again if it comes out of this situation at some point, just to “catch up” with competitors that, I believe, are going to become bigger and get market share now. The picture points to middle-size and smaller booksellers taking over some share of Livraria Cultura. Ricardo Costa: Livraria Cultura is one of the top five on the market and, of course, its economic situation comes with hard impact on the market. ![]() We start by asking Costa if he can give us a little context on the stress reported by these retail outlets and the potential effect on the Brazilian market. In order to get a better picture of the situation on the ground, Publishing Perspectives has asked our colleague there, Ricardo Costa, managing director of the Metabooks Brasil platform, to give us some insight on the situation. Taken together, Cultura and Saraiva are said to have more than 100 retail locations, making them collectively the sales points for as much as 40 percent of books in Brazil. The company reports having a debt of 92 million reals (US$24.7 million) atop previous debt loads. In the case of Cultura, a court has accepted the store’s request for “judicial recovery”-in essence a “chapter 11” style filing-with a start next month. ![]() This, in addition to what media reports say is 120 million reais (US$32.1 million) tied up in bank credit lines has prompted the chain to announce the closures of 20 stores. ![]() On Wednesday (November 7), publishers looked at reports that Sariava, the largest of the country’s bookstores, has a debt in excess of 485 reais (US$130.1 million).

Heading into a mission area always has me thinking “I wonder what terminals I’ll need to push to complete this mission.” While the lack of varied explosives allows the players to instantly recognize what they’re looking for, it leads to a more formulaic approach to missions that feels antithesis to what the series aims to be about: explosive freedom. Overall, it’s a better system than the previous game, but the missions themselves become tedious quickly. At first, objectives feel somewhat varied, but just a handful of hours in, things become predictable. Completing the mission usually allows for the player to dispatch a “squad” of their own troops, a resource acquired by blowing shit up around the map, and claim the area. The mission design itself hasn’t changed much, either. Progress comes by unlocking new areas of the map, which often require Rico to swoop in and complete some small-time mission to get rid of the baddies in the area. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen the same giant antennae, the same giant propane tanks, and the same radar dish. There are a ton of red explosion barrels of course, but the amount of red, destructible objects seems to have gone down. ![]() In general, though, the source of these explosions is all very same-y. In fact, every time I boot up the game I can hear some random explosion happening in the distance, and I love that. All these things are present in Just Cause 4, but it doesn’t feel like they were the main focus in development. ![]() What’s your favorite thing about the Just Cause franchise? Chances are the first things to come to mind are the explosions, grappling hook, and Rico’s suave accent. Yes, it is still exciting to master the movement of the grappling hook, parachute, and wingsuit, but when story missions force Rico to drive someone two bazillion miles to a destination while fighting off the same three types of vehicles, an interesting question arises: does Avalanche Studios understand what makes these games so great? Just Cause 4 feels tedious almost immediately. It shoots a straight beam of energy and can also lob a “lightning grenade” which is really just a grenade. And then I unlocked it and it was the most boring thing I could think of. It’s a neat hook the thought of owning the Lightning Gun is very provocative and actively makes me want to pursue unlocking it. The plot centers around it (and some actual plot which falls flat), new weapons utilize it, and it is ingrained into the map as well. The “big thing” in Just Cause 4 is weather manipulation.

Just Cause 4 (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows ) So what could a fourth Just Cause improve upon? More gadgets and gizmos? Better mission design? Or maybe they could remove stuff for no apparent reason and put the fun gadgets behind a DLC paywall from the get-go? The gameplay was already feeling stale by the time the plot had run its course, so to jump back in for micro-bursts felt like a chore, despite the neat gadgets and gizmos included. I enjoyed Just Cause 3 given how big a jump it was from the second installment, but the post-release DLC absolutely drained me. I went into Just Cause 4 with tempered expectations. ![]() ![]() It threw away the chance to develop a character with so much potential. What happens when your protagonist, a warrior for peace who loves humanity to her core, meets a female antagonist who is hellbent on achieving a singular, self-serving power no matter the cost? Your guess is as good as mine because Wonder Woman 1984 provides no answers. ![]() Here was a movie that provided us with a female villain - a rarity for the DCEU - and it failed to recognize how potentially profound and intriguing a premise that could be. ![]() In Wonder Woman 1984, Barbara gains her powers through the weakness of misguided idolatry - something that feels antithetical to the way female characters in this DCEU franchise have been portrayed.Īt every turn, Wonder Woman 1984 failed Barbara. This allows Barbara's antagonistic relationship with Wonder Woman to emerge more organically and for the two women to meet one another when Barbara is already a formidable force. The DC comic books give Barbara the dignity of an origin story with no ties to Wonder Woman. There, she gets the bright idea to test drive the Dreamstone and wishes she was more like Diana, who she sees as "strong, sexy, cool, special." (These reductive adjectives used to describe Diana make more sense coming out of Don Draper's mouth than Barbara's.) But because the patriarchy pits women against one another and instills the false idea that there is not enough room for everyone, Barbara believes she needs the advantages offered by the Dreamstone in order to be valuable or liked.Įven more confounding, Wonder Woman 1984 betrays Barbara's origin story, which sees her powers endowed by Urzkartaga, a deity she encounters while on an expedition in Africa. Prince later saves Barbara from a catcaller, Barbara returns to her Smithsonian office. After a night out with Diana, where the women swap stories about their love lives and Ms. The reason for Barbara's Dreamstone transformation into Cheetah is also pretty egregious considering it has no basis in the comics. But Barbara, an equally new Wonder Woman character, is a tapestry of tired movie ideas about women who exist in service of others. Worse still, Max gets the benefit of a fully fleshed-out arc complete with a young son who acts as his tie to humanity and provides some emotional stakes. Outside of these relationships, there is no baseline for Barbara power-walking to work and girl talk do not a complex character make. Who Barbara is as a person only becomes clearer when we see her in relation to Diana (as a sympathetic friend and long-distance research assistant) and Max (as a smitten love interest who can barely maintain her cool around him). Even though the character of Barbara Minerva has a rich, complicated comic book backstory (get a sense of it via Fandom's DC Database) available for the Wonder Woman 1984 screenwriting team - Patty Jenkins, who also directs Geoff Johns ( Aquaman), and David Callaham ( Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) - to pull from, they eschew it in favor of little to no personalization.īefore Barbara makes her wish on the Dreamstone, she is a standard-issue single gal. That introduction scene is one of a few pre-Cheetah scenes for Barbara and in it, they establish her character in relation to other key characters in the story rather than showing us who Barbara is as her own person. ![]() Unfortunately, the version of Barbara we get in Wonder Woman 1984 bears little resemblance to her comic book forebear and is instead a watered-down villain who barely stands as her own person. Placing Cheetah opposite Wonder Woman in a DCEU movie should have been a major moment for this franchise. Wonder Woman showdowns in the comics have become legendary. Lithe, ferocious, cunning, and powerful, Cheetah is a formidable antagonist for Wonder Woman. 2, #7, Barbara is one of two incarnations of Cheetah who physically transform into the form of a human-jungle cat hybrid thanks to her superhuman powers gifted to her from a mythical god that puts her on equal footing with Wonder Woman. First introduced in August 1987's Wonder Woman Vol. The way in which the DCEU sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman chooses to handle one of its two Big Bads (the other being Pedro Pascal's flashy con man Max Lord) is one of a great many issues that pop up in Wonder Woman 1984. In the Wonder Woman comics, Barbara Minerva is the third of four incarnations of the villain known as Cheetah. Specifically, it has a Barbara Minerva problem. ![]() |
