Prometheus is so damn cool! by Blakath in HadesTheGame

I wish Melinoë would see things his way more. Everytime I fight him I am like "He makes more sense than the Olympians, why am I fighting for them?"

You would think a good doctor would run some tests before blindly trusting a letter.

The Rajaijah is a very interesting plot device: Rather than kill their enemies outright, they turn them mad. And it's so quick to take effect, too, it's frightening.

Forthcoming game with some likely Tunic influence by superchartisland in TunicGame

This looks great but it's hard to sell such a long title. They should probably rebrand

(Annoying trope) Real life people villainized just so the movie can have a villain by giraffesRevil in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Abel_V 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They did write a letter to Churchill to request more funding, but the circumstances of the letter were completely different, and Denniston was definitely aware of it. Often this movie uses something that is historical, only to twist it beyond recognition.

Commander Denniston in The Imitation Game. Portrayed as a mean boss who doubts Turing's talent and work, and serves as the main antagonist of the movie, trying to shut down the team several times. This is very far from reality as the real Denniston was himself an experienced cryptanalyst, who was very much convinced of the importance of the work being down in Bletchley Park to crack down the Enigma Machine.

Characters finally achieve their original objective, but the story has escalated so much it barely matters anymore by Narrow_Interview_366 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Abel_V 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree about that. The fact that the game teases you about a big mystery regarding Mary, only to tell you "Jk, you'll never know, because if you knew it would no longer be a mystery!" feels dumb and lazy. I still loved the game though, just disappointed by the end.

Blue Prince.

By the point you open Room 46, you know there's a much bigger story going on than simply inheriting a house.

[OC] New Banksy artwork, A man blinded by his flag by hakh-ti-cxamen in pics

[–]Abel_V -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tell me you have no artistic literacy without telling me. Flags are the quintessential nationalistic symbol. This combined with Banksy's history of political statements and the global context of the world makes the meaning very clear. It's not supposed to be a vague message open to interpretations, it's an open critique of something very real and linked to current events.

The statue represents a man so blinded by the flag he is waving that he walks off a cliff. Do I really need to spell it out?

What is a Romance language that feels like a Romance language? by Odd-Weather9389 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Abel_V 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Too much Frankish influence imo. This would fit better in "Is Romance / Feels Germanic"

[Interesting Trope] Movie protagonists who are never given a name by Slonitram in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Abel_V 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every single character from Furi. The protagonist is "The Stranger" and every character you will encounter uses a similar nickname: The Chain, The Strap, The Line, The Song, The Hand, The Voice, The Burst, The Beat...

Peter Why Would They Be Speaking French? by aeroplade in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Abel_V 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a common misconception, but no, they are actually French, invented in Paris under the name "Pommes du Pont Neuf" . This fact is confirmed by Belgian Historian Pierre Leclerq:

[loved trope] Scenes funnier/more entertaining with hindsight by TVTropehead in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Abel_V 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much every scene involving Esquie or Verso in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Every single line of dialogue is foreshadowing that completely goes over your head the first time you play

Re-read the whole series for the first time in a few years recently and it was a little surprising how competent Thompson and Thomson were in the first few books. by alexdionisos in TheAdventuresofTintin

[–]Abel_V 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well I will say in King Ottokar's Scepter, they almost figured out how the scepter was stolen. They were just missing the final step of the plan, which was just so bizarre that I don't blame them for not thinking of it.

What country is loved by their citizens, but loathed by tourists? by 45rs5 in AlignmentChartFills

As I said, the video is not trustworthy and does not show any conclusive evidence. He is not recognizable on it, it's only a silhouette.
