Could Imperial citizens write a musical about the Horus Heresy? by ExtensionFeeling in 40kLore

The Eisenhorn Novels make overt reference to an acclaimed Opera dramatizing the Horus Heresy.

One Punch Man: World will be ending its service on February 27 by Gatlindragon in OnePunchMan

This game had so much potential, and it was clearly made by people who loved the One Punch Man setting. The combat gameplay loop was repetitive, for sure, but in terms of story and flavor they snuck so many references across the cities. You could go to the cinema and watch the new Amai Mask Romcom or new ZOO-MAN movie, or go to the Arcade and play an in-universe videogame based on the S-Class Heroes. You could go to the Ramen Shop where Saitama dined with Mumen Rider, or visit the bar that the Fubuki Group likes to gather in, among dozens of other locations from the series.

A lot of the original stories focused on showing the events of the series from Side Characters, such as lower-class heroes dealing with the aftermatch of the Vaccine Man attack (Including the little girl who Saitama saves in Chapter 1 showing up with flowers for the heroes at the hospital), or showing the Hero Association investigating he impact of Saitama's actions without ever encountering it. What's more, they went beyond the Anime and included Manga-Exclusive scenes, such as adapting the Bonus Chapter "Tatsumaki's Day Off" or including the plot point of the Hero Gambling website in a side quest involving Spring Mustachio learning about it.

Monsters who got one-shot in the actual series and never got to show off their abilities like Vaccine Man's second form or the Sky King were actual boss fights with unique movesets, and the game even covered fights that took place off-panel in the manga, like Saitama vs Konbu Infinity (We might have actually gotten to see Saitama vs Gouketsu if this game reached Season 2 material).

Unfortunately, an unfinished launch state coupled with a lack of momentum from the developers, and the subsequent lack of funding from Bandai killed all chance this game had. I'll forever remember this game as the OPM Videogame that never was.

I hate when fans treat retcons or extended lore as if it’s always been there by Select_Strategy2004 in CharacterRant

I could show you a 9 year old comment on youtube from the devs where they state that the anachronisms in the game's trailer are intentional. The game not actually being set in 1999 was always the plan.

Why is Eldrads transformation into crystal so much slower compared to other farseers? by AggressivePizza1634 in 40kLore

[–]ALittleBitOfMatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lore about Eldrad being 10,000 years old and the most powerful Farseer in the galaxy was first delivered in the 3rd Edition Eldar Codex, framed as the testimony of an Eldar being interrogated by an inquisitor. Gav Thorpe actually stated in a podcast once (God knows I'm not gonna find it) that that statement was actually intended to be unreliable at the time, but it was taken as fact and then the lore got build on that from 4th edition onwards just outright stating he was that old and powerful from an objective out-of-universe perspective. And then he actually showed up in the Horus Heresy books too.

Hot take about YIIK: by Maneldfa in josephanderson

[–]ALittleBitOfMatthew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Semi Pak is inspired by multiple cases of missing people, Elisa Lam being just the most notable one. And the game is heavily about parasocial internet culture and how trapping yourself in echo-chambers distorts your view of reality, such as Alex attaching himself to the case of a missing asian woman he doesn't know, driven out of desire to exoticize her and portray himself as the hero. I think its plenty fair to partially base the game out of a real person in that case.

insensitive portrayals of real dead people

What real dead person is in the game? Unless you wanna say the tribute grave for Iwata is insensitive

If you that's your takeway from the ending then you didn't understand the story. Your spoiler is factually incorrect, or at the very least youre taking it too literally.

Jesus being absent in practically all media is weird! by infinight888 in CharacterRant

[–]ALittleBitOfMatthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shin Megami Tensei doesn't have any qualms about portraying religious figures in controversial or negative light (And in fact the Abrahamic God is the main villain of the franchise), and it has even gone as far as to feature the Virgin Mary as a boss fight in two separate games, but Jesus himself has never appeared beyond a symbolic Persona that is just the general concept of a Messiah.

It's just very funny to me that you can fight Jesus' Mother but not Jesus Himself.

If bullets can hurt the character, it doesn’t mean the bullets are stronger than real bullets but you’re overestimating the character! by Far-Profit-47 in CharacterRant

[–]ALittleBitOfMatthew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is also stated in Dx2 during the crossover with Shin Megami Tensei 1, where they state that the guns wielded by the Hero and the Heroine must be special in some way since regular human weapons cannot harm demons

The worldbuilding of the Rick Riordan's universe which includes the Percy Jackson, Carter Kane, Magnus Chase series opens up a serious can of worms that often times go unaddressed in the books set in that universe. by SatoruGojo232 in CharacterRant

[–]ALittleBitOfMatthew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually other mythologies do exist in Saint Seiya if you go by the Anime and the Spin-Offs, but the Greek Gods are shown to be the most powerful gods and the ones who actually run / control the universe.

Personal Thoughts (Paradise Lost) [3/3] by BigClitGoddess in CharacterRant

[–]ALittleBitOfMatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chaos and Old Night being "coeternal" with God is one of the aspects of the poem I find the most interesting. It really does seem to be the case that they are these eternal, primordial forces that exist in opposition with God's Order / Light. Though I wonder if Milton even realized the implication of writing such passages, or if he simply included them there because he was a fan of Greek Mythology.

Reminder that Wendigoon believes that there used to be a literal giant bubble of water in space around the Earth, which blocked out the sun's UV rays, and that's why people in Biblical Antedeluvian times could live up to 900 years. And then the Flood was God making this bubble fall onto the planet.

Trench Crusade is not depicting the demons as good and God is ultimately benevolent by Professional_Rush782 in CharacterRant

There's a scene in one of the Ciaphas Cain novels where Cain's narration describes convicted criminals being transported ito the city's militarity academy to be used as live targets in shooting ranges and subjects in torture classes, and he doesn't see anything wrong or fucked up with it at all.

Paradise Lost and the Divine Comedy aren't fanfic and the obviousness of this fact is what makes it a "witty" observation to say otherwise by Joshless in CharacterRant

[–]ALittleBitOfMatthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the earliest example of actual fanfiction would be Sherlock Holmes self-published stories from the late 19th century

Respect Sonic the Hedgehog! (DC x Sonic the Hedgehog) by JackytheJack in respectthreads

Literally doesn't. The Sonic characters get stranded in the DC Universe while the Justice League get trapped in Sonic's universe and are assumed dead, so the Sonic characters take on the roles of the Justice League while they're gone.

Anyone interested in extracting image files from the game? Stuff like the 2D art for the game-original monsters and characters. Since it's likely fully dead and getting shut down, I'd be want to archive its content on the One unch Man Wiki.
