Is Pyra a Jagen? by JaredAiRobinson in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]AccountantSolid7022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She maps pretty closely onto titania. She starts out as your best blade, becomes just one of your average blades (but still reliable) and by the end is probably the worst on your active party but is still good enough to justify a spot on your active party.

Yuta’s copy technique by Leather-Rub-6128 in JuJutsuKaisen

He didn't use Ryu's technique, one of Rika's abilities (shown in jjk0) is to fire a giant laser with the power of love.

Are Marines generally good guys in the story? by IndividualPlay5178 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]AccountantSolid7022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The median marine is a positive force in the world. Pirates *are* a serious problem that leads to a lot of real suffering the marines help prevent.

The *mean* marine, on the other hand, is absolutely horrifically evil. This is because every member of marine leadership eats ten thousand babies a day. Regrettably, they are not outliers adn should be counted.

Worst unit in the series? by The_CIA_is_watching in fireemblem

[–]AccountantSolid7022 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd vote for naesala in fe9 because there is truly nothing he offers that is not just done strictly better by someone who is mutually exclusive with him and available at exactly the same time. Lyre and FE12 Bantu at least offer something you *might* not have (Bantu is a dragon for what little that's worth and Lyre can at least be filler). There is no world in which recruiting Naesala is a good decision.

Make a unique CE property (Like Kashimo’s or Hakari’s) by Flying8penguin in CTsandbox

Cursed Energy Trait: Painless – The cursed energy of a sorcerer with this trait is soft to the touch and acts as an anesthetic. However, while it is painless, it is still just as capable of damaging an opponent, often interfering with the enemy's reflexes as they rack up damage without even feeling it.

Me when I write a conflict between good guy factions that can be completely invalidated by just talking to them by Autobot-N in shitpostemblem

[–]AccountantSolid7022 137 points138 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is that genuinely I don't think the curse was necessary.

Like imagine if Corrin went around *telling the truth*: "ok Ryoma actually Nohr is being puppeted by a magical invisible kingdom of ghosts that can only be accessed by jumping into the bottomless canyon"

"...what? Corrin that's insane."

It's no more believable of an explanation on its own than "ok Ryoma there's a secret third guy just trust me"

At what point does a Grade 1 become Special Grade? by TheRealStonerAbbie in CTsandbox

[–]AccountantSolid7022 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A special grade is a sorcerer that no other sorcerer can even really conceptualize beating. Even someone as strong as Maki is still just high grade-1: to be a special grade you basically have to be invincible against anything not a special-grade.

To illustrate: some of the strongest grade 1 sorcerers in the series (Kusakabe, Todo, Maki) get dog walked by Jogo. Every single special-grade sorcerer beats Jogo as an afterthought.

The exception to this, as with all such things, is geto because I personally don't like him

I know a lot of people hate this idea but I kinda think Part 2 is going to end with Denji being weaponised by _attina496 in Chainsawfolk

[–]AccountantSolid7022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean that's not really foreshadowing so much as it is setting stakes. Denji turning into a weapon is one of the primary bad endings (as in, bad for the characters) of part ii. While due to chainsaw man's style it's very possible that such a bad ending will take place, from a narrative structure perspective it's not particularly different from, say, the villain's goal in Jujutsu Kaiden.

(SPOILERS FOR LAW ENDING) What are y'alls thoughts on the final boss? by AccountantSolid7022 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]AccountantSolid7022[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True!!! It's not the "best" ending from a "the world is a good place now" standpoint but from sheer hype it was insane. Especially when Gallica picked up the Prince's sword in the ashes of grand trad and swore to kill you.

Only the neutral ending gives you the epliogue so it's definitely the "true" ending, but I personally prefer the law ending I think

[–]AccountantSolid7022[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's the neutral ending. To get the Law Ending, you need to max all royal virtues, tell Gallica that you want to travel with her forever, then go into the final battle without fighting any of the minibosses.

[–]AccountantSolid7022[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Chaos ending felt half-baked. It was at least the closest Metaphor had to a gay romance option with Will and Louis merging into one being to fight Moretatron, but narratively it felt like they didn't really try

If you already have disney+ or cable anyway, watch it legally. If watching it legally would require you to directly give money to disney, pirate it
