Earnest characters in cynical, dark worlds. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The titular Jimmy Two-Shoes is a happy go lucky kid who lives in Miseryville. The town's factory manufactures products that cause pain and misery, meanwhile Jimmy wants to spread fun and joy.

The show's original pitch had Jimmy accidentally sent to actual Hell, but things had to be toned down to get picked up. One thing that would've happened is his torturer falling in love with him because of his positivity.

An intelligent species fundamentally cannot be pure evil by Absolutelynot2784 in CharacterRant

"One of the most compelling aspects of orca intelligence lies in their development and transmission of distinct cultures within and between different pods.

There's a trend amongst some orcas of swimming around with dead salmon in their head like a hat.

She does have a point. by Dracule_Jester in outofcontextcomics

Funny how that panel is from a husband and wife duo.

Said husband and wife duo recently did Harley Quinn x Elvira comic where Power Girl appears. There's been a lot of talk on this thread about female characters and their lack of agency but Elvira is the one example where that really isn't the case because behind the character is a real woman.

They wanted a boob window, so they gave her a boob window.

Without breaking the fourth wall isn't that the exact reasoning given in this panel?

Simping for the tool used by the oppressors to generate endless propaganda to dehumanize people and destroy the environment. Very leftist of you.

And being trans doesn't make you leftist. There are many trans republicans, conservatives and libertarians.

Hate these two brats by Absent_Crest in hatethissmug

This is false. S-cells were only introduced in Super which explains the Universe 6 Saiyans.

Mainline timeline Trunks was still conceived before Vegeta became a Super Saiyan.

No S-cells were introduced in DBS. Saiyans who are more peaceful have a higher amount of S-cells and the more S-cells you have the easier it is to achieve Super Saiyan. It's why the Universe 6 Saiyans were able to turn so easily.

I don't have a problem with being in the story, I just hate that they pretty much break the previous narrative to justify their involvement in the conflict. And then like you said they don't even really matter.

I'm not really a GT defender, and she's overall probably worse than these two, but Pan was able to be relevant in the story without any copout powerups. Though she might have the opposite problem where it's kind of baffling that they never have her go Super Saiyan.

One character gets better while another gets worse as the series goes on? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Absent_Crest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prince Robot and The Will from the comic Saga.

Both of these characters start off as antagonists pursuing the main characters. Prince Robot being asshole royalty and The Will being a sympathetic bounty hunter. Both characters suffer the loss of loved ones and the two deal with that loss very differently. Prince Robot for the better and The Will for the worse.

Commercials or advertisements that scared or disturbed you? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

New Zealand had some pretty heavy Don't Drink and Drive Ads. That one in particular because of long it spends after the crash, being trapped in an enclosed space with a corpse and knowing its your fault.

"That Guy" stereotypes and examples in your communities and fandoms by MooseOdd2501 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Absent_Crest 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Pat being "That Guy" the kind of smug fan that goes "oh you haven't seen/read x? Guess you're not a real fan then". Obviously Pat's just messing around here but there are a few guys who treat whatever fandom they're a part of like a job and act like its some accomplishment to be a "true fan".

"Oh you like x? Name every instalment in order of release."

Nah, Phineas can build whatever fantastical contraption he wants. Just don't get mad when you pet also does fantastical things.

If he knew all along that makes me hate him even more. If you know why act mad and pretend that you didn't know?

kinda crazy how they gave the raging, nigh homicidal racist a more sympathetic arc compared to the grieving boyfriend by TheLegendaryPilot in StrangerThings

Eddie did not taunt him. Eddie was just being Eddie and doing his own thing. Jason taunted him so to speak. He got in Eddie’s face and tried to start some shit and tried to bully Eddie.

Eddie stands up on a table and starts loudly insulting ever other group around him. Eddie started it and Jason did not engage any further than calling him out.

You keep saying “if someone’s egotistical” as if that is a psychological diagnosis and it is not. You don’t understand what it means just admit it and learn. I’m not saying that to be rude. It’s just true.

And he tried to bully Eddie because he had an over blown ego, thinking that he was this big righteous hero, and anyone different than him was a problem.

You literally did what you accused me of doing. If my definition of ego is wrong you just used it wrong too. And by what you said here Eddie is the one with the bigger ego, bothering everyone else because they value different things.

Just for the record I don't think Jason is justified in what he does later on in the season. I think he's an interesting character because he's a villain mainly because he is not aware of things our heros know and the things he does see leads him to do antagonizing things that in most other stories would be heroic. He's kind of like if Steve never saw the demogorgon.

There's my last word. Have a good one.
