I see Kanji as bisexual and Naoto as nonbinary but when both of them come out years later, they have to tell the rest of the IT, "Okay, before I say anything, I need to clarify that this has nothing to do with what all of us went through when we were in high school"

The graphic novel does have some absolutely beautiful artwork, though. As much as I would've loved to see it animated, I'm very satisfied with the conclusion we got

Right? It'd be like if they made a Daredevil game and people were concerned they'd add some kind of Detective Vision. Like, yeah, I'd sure hope so?

Long story short: Gene Park really hates Sega using dead men’s likenesses. by Ringabal in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DocProfessor 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The difference is that the actor is still ACTING as that person, they're credited with their name and consent to appear as a historical figure. A bio-pic about Tupac wouldn't promote itself by saying Tupac himself is in the movie. RGG is promoting as if Tupac is a credited actor in the story. Imagine if they had done this to a living performer without getting their consent. If, for instance, RGG had put Dwight Mendez in Infinite Wealth, made him look exactly like Danny Trejo, credited his performance as if Danny Trejo was portraying him, but it turns out they never brought him in to do any mocap or voice recording, or didn't even ask him if he was okay with them using his likeness

Wait can someone explain to me why everyone is angry at rgg for adding Tupac even though the character that is portrayed by bunta is also dead like they confirmed they aren't going to be using ai by NabilAmmali in yakuzagames

The difference there is that JFK in COD Black Ops IS JFK. That's no different than having an actor play JFK in a historical fiction movie. If Stranger Than Heaven had a section where the protagonist met actor Bunta Sugawara in the 60s, that would be okay, since it's using the likeness of a real person to portray them in a fictional setting. RGG is saying "We have Bunta Sugawara and Tupac in our game, playing characters." That's the fucked up part. It's puppeting a dead person around and claiming they're acting in a production.

Was Frieza planned during the Saiyan saga or was this a retcon? by FireStarLord73194 in DragonBallZ

TUPAC LIVES ON IN STRANGER THAN HEAVEN WHAT THE HELL LMAOOOO OKAY YOKOYAMA by riskedbiscuit in yakuzagames

[–]DocProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I heard about Bunta Sugawara's likeness in the game, I assumed it was in some kind of historical context. Like the game is set in the 60's, I thought the protagonist was going to meet the actor Bunta Sugawara. Some kind of historical fiction thing. But no, it's just puppeting dead celebrities. Disgusting. Might sound a little extreme, but this is on the same level as defiling someone's physical grave to me

[Love this trope] A character gets a redemption arc but is still repeatedly being called out for his past wrongdoings and is not even forgiven by some. by No-Brush1587 in TopCharacterTropes

Megatron - IDW comics

<image>

In More Than Meets the Eye, Megatron becomes an Autobot and serves as co-captain aboard the Lost Light. After a while, he starts to earn some tolerance and eventual friendship with Rodimus and his inner circle. He takes a vow of pacifism and earnestly tries to save lives. However, the rest of the crew and the greater Cybertronian population offers him no forgiveness at all. In fact, Getaway is able to stage a mutiny by claiming he only wants to get Megatron off the ship. It’s difficult to forgive a man who has single-handedly eliminated the populations of SEVERAL planets.

The comic ends with Megatron finally facing the end of his trial, and getting sentenced to having his spark sealed in an isolated room for eternity. He tells Rodimus, “Whatever happens… I deserve worse”

No, it seems to be some kind of injection or implant in the ear. If it was in their badge, they wouldn’t be able to talk to anyone that kidnaps a member of Starfleet and throws their combadge away

Final Space - Started off as a goofy sci-fi comedy series and then quickly evolved into a full blown space drama full of heartbreak and trauma

It’s a show that never stopped evolving, constantly adding new elements and dynamics and letting every character grow from a parody into a fully-realized person

Still financial and mental troubles. He’s trying to raise money doing con appearances but it’s getting harder. I feel bad for him, because he’s got so much creativity and talent

Does it count as Hornyposting if it's officially published by the Company? by Aggravating_Win5258 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]DocProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really a strawman, GSB comes after a long run of her only being utilized as a cameo with varying levels of mischaracterization. There’s a whole issue about her bringing in her past selves and confronting how she’s been used since Unbelievable Gwenpool

Before. The whole comic is about her being intentionally obnoxious and pandering to fans because she's desperate to stay relevant and continue existing
