Golden Girl

Someone needs to tell Vanguard and the heroes of Primal Earth that

Fixed for Praetorian reality

A loyalist is the same as a member of Arachnos.

That just means that she likes you.

I think he'd look better in the shower.

Exactly - Longbow are heroic, until they become vigilantes - then Heroes have to stop them and get them to behave properly again

I also mentioned how Longbow can become vigilantes for some missions - which makes them the enemies of heroes during those missions

Although I don't think Recluse has any friends

Another difference between Tyrant and Recluse is their threat level to Paragon City - John "Protean" Hegner, one of the lead writers on GR says Tyrant is "Praetoria Earth's greatest villain" - but could Recluse really be called "Primal Earth's greatest villain" when people like Nemesis and Reichsman are also running around there?

You need to look at the bigger picture though - the framework of GR is loyalist = bad, Resistance = good - which is reflected in the new I19 TFs, for example - the meta-story is the Praetorian dictatorship vs Primal Earth, but the micro-stories within it can have shades of gray - so while Tyrant is the meta-story supervillain, a micro-story where you do something morally wrong in the fight against him - like in a lot of the Crusader arcs - is still the wrong thing to do - you're using evil to fight evil, so you're not a hero.

The major reference point for morality in the game is Paragon City - the "City of Heroes" - it's always the good side, and anyone or anything that attacks or threatens it are always the bad side.

So while Crusaders can try and blow up a hospital in an attempt to bring down the evil dictatorship in Praetoria, and Arachnos can fight within itself and against other villain factions, any fight in Paragon City is good vs bad.
The new Tip missions with Longbow are a good example - Longbow is a heroic organization, but when any of their members cross the line and become vigilantes, it's up to Heroes to step in and stop them - for those missions, Longbow becomes "bad", because they're doing the wrong thing, and so they become the enemies of Heroes in those missions.

The joke is in the context

Well, at the NYCC panel, Ghost Falcon did say that they had made it cool to be the bad guy in GR - so he seems to have been right

That's sort of correct - the devs have said that the working for the dictatorship is the bad guy option in GR, but they've also said Praetoria isn't a mirror universe - it's an alternative universe, which is why some people are still good in both universe, and some people ae still bad in both universes.
For example, Penelope Yin is a good person on Primal Earth and in Praetoria, and The Center/Mr. G is a bad person in both universes.
War Witch has also used the term "good villains" and "bad heroes" for the "shades of gray" they tried to add to Praetoria - so a loyalist who thinks they're doing good would be a "good vilalin", while a Crusader who harms innocent people would be a "bad hero".

Also, while Praetoria is set up to be a kind of mirror to the Rogue Isles, with the insane ruler in his tower, Arachnos Seers/Seer network, Arachnoids/Failed Experiments and Ghouls, Rogue Isles Police/PPD, Dr. Aeon/Neuron, Destined Ones/Powers Division, Patrons/Praetors and so on, the big difference is that Recluse always seems to have been a bit of a jerk, while Tyrant does seem to have been a good-ish person once
So Recluse's personal journey has been from jerk-ish to super-jerk, while Tyrant's has been from good-ish guy to super-jerk, which why their domains look different, even though they function in the same way - Recluse doesn't try and hide his villainy, and actually goes out of his way to boast about it, while Tyrant still tries to convince people - and maybe himself - that he's still a good person.

Of the two, Recluse is actually the more honest one - he doesn't need to drug his subjects, or have a "Behavioral Adjustment Facility", or hide his crimes behind a shiny and clean facade - he's totally open about being a villain - he holds supreme power in the Rogue Isles, and uses it brutally and openly.
But Tyrant still thinks of himself as a good person - or is trying to convince himself that he still is - so he has to use the supreme power he has over Praetoria in a way that convinces people - and maybe himself - that it's being used for "good" - so his crimes have to be hidden from the people - and possibly from himself.
Both of them treat humanity with contempt - Tyrant because he thinks humans are weak willed and make too many bad choices, so they have to have their free will taken away - and Recluse because of his "survival of the fittest" insanity, which means anyone weaker than him or his henchpeople are there to be exploited and crushed.

I thought it was being shot in 3D?

I know

It's not just going to be the Hobbit they're filming.

Probably Nemesis

Like the Hobbit?

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Warwitch Nor'Cal wgah'nagl fhtagn?

Probably because those are kinda hard to find

But it would help
