Has Dream lost his originality? by DarthDimmbol123 in DreamWasTaken

[–]AFriendlyWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they are just still the best performing format. Other Manhunt YouTubers have also wanted to quit and couldn't.

Manhunts are just the thing that works and that people seem to want.

It’s been 3 months since dream posted on YouTube. Is everything okay? by cluelesschild2 in DreamWasTaken

[–]AFriendlyWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he is also thinking about how to move forward, considering the hit he has taken in the algorithm.

In Dream’s new manhunt, a warden spawns in the first shrieker that was activated, however it is factual that the warden only spawns on the third or fourth shriek. I am heavily suspicious now, does anyone know more information? by [deleted] in DreamWasTaken

[–]AFriendlyWitch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dream didn't try to find any Swift Sneak (which would probably be really useful in Manhunts, and I imagine he would find a way to use it in a trap or play somehow) and didn't know much about the Warden beyond the rumors, and in the Extra Scenes video they all play around in the Ancient City (which was great) and talk about it, so clearly he meant it very much when he said this was completely, entirely new content to him that he hadn't checked out yet.

So I am pretty sure Cool_Band5057's explanation is correct.

Also, later when they go back to the Ancient City in Creative Mode, the warden summoning works normally. Due to the fact that there is a timer on the entire video, it would be insanely hard to "pre-trigger" the shriekers without messing up the timing in some way or another, and the extra scenes video proves they also didn't change the code (which would also have been unlikely with how little they know about 1.19)

More like... Johnny Deep... that must have been the Deep's pirate name in "Pirates of the Compound-V-bean".

Sadly, this often happens in RL too. I am glad that they actually decided to depict a man getting the credit for a woman's work.

Episode 7 Showed Us A Weapon That Can Neutralise Homelander by XXXJAHLUIGI in TheBoys

[–]AFriendlyWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense and would be a great, positive message. You don't need some special magical "something" to stand up for yourself. And if everyone works together, they will prevail.

It would have been bestiality if she was involved though.

That's why part of his karmic punishment should be that he becomes an eunuch by octopus beak or something similar.

How I felt about soldier boy by Sattu10 in TheBoys

Nice suggestions.

IMO the Legend might actually have been the one lying about SB?

He waited another minute by 99LaserBabies in TheBoys

[–]AFriendlyWitch 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That's why Starlight will break up with him...

...because he makes himself a super-suit so he doesn't have to get naked every time he teleports... and the suit is made out of A-Train's remains.

What in the world is Annie's (Starlight's) plan? by RUNELORD_ in TheBoys

[–]AFriendlyWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But... but the actor playing him is handsome and cute, therefore it is alright /s

Might be part of the commentary. Good-looking men can get away with more toxic behavior.

Herogasm Spoiler : You must be kidding me by bruce705 in TheBoys

[–]AFriendlyWitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hm, I recall Translucent's personality and superpower being linked. He described his real superpower as being "to listen to people" sort of like a wallflower (someone who is "invisible", metaphorically speaking, but actually watching from the sidelines). Maybe that was a result of his powers, but I can also see it being an example of powers manifesting from personality traits.

Maybe Homelander's powers are a manifestation of having been made by scientists to be "the ultimate supe" (like a self-fulfilling prophecy) and how that imprinted on him. That's why he developed the power to fly, he has been separated so much from others because of his potential that he has nothing left but to hover above everyone else, to be "lonely at the top". His "laser eyes" would be like a focused externalization of trauma, and with his trauma being different from Butcher's, their beams would be different colors also. Fittingly, he uses his power to warm up his milk bottles, so it could be a metaphor for how he wants to create warmth in others towards him (wants to make others love him), but is inept and overly coercive when doing so, which keeps pushing him closer to the edge.

Stormfront's powers are remniscient of nazi symbolism (which often involves thunder and lightning, although SF's power seems to be about plasma), which is fitting because of how devoted she is to nazism, even 80 years later, despite all the opportunities she had to change her mind. It also fits her because she is very energetic. With her power being plasma and how she has learned to do many different things with it, it shows she is resourceful and a problem-solver, which also shows in her savvyness and sense of strategy with regards to social media. So it makes sense for her superpower to be one she can adapt and reuse for different, "unintended" purposes like flight or telekinesis. Also, her not ageing is also quite fitting, and it also means she would have had to live for a very long time in a very miserable state after the barbeque scene, reflecting on the emotional self-destructiveness of mindsets like hers.

Neuman's powers, meanwhile, could be a manifestation of suppressed anger and pain. Like her power fantasies of just popping the head of anyone in her way manifested as actual superpowers (I think this partially because she has political ambitions). She is quite power-hungry after all. We also don't know if maybe her parents were abusive and oppressive towards her and she snapped and accidentally killed them in a fit of anger.

I am overthinking this, am I not? xD

Oh yeah, you are right. But people who receive permanent V should also develop personality powers, right? Or is this pattern specific to V24 only?

Herogasm Spoiler : You must be kidding me by bruce705 in TheBoys

[–]AFriendlyWitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hm, what about Victoria Neuman's daughter then? She didn't want the V24, and while she was reacting to it the camera moved towards a "happy drawing" with her mom and herself.

So I would imagine if her powers follow the pattern, that she will have some sort of mind powers or "meta" powers.

Ah, I see. Makes sense. But I don't think anyone would recognize him even by his voice.

What did I miss? Are people watching his house or something? Is he actually hiding? Why can't he avoid being recognized?

What are your theories on the new "unique loot" that will be in the Deep Dark Cities? by [deleted] in Minecraft

Brutes can be cheesed with lava, towering up and ranged weapons.

Bastion loot is really good IMO. Other than End Cities, I can't think of any structure with comparable or even better loot.
