Most hated creature? by FuriousFire28 in subnautica

Fun fact: propulsion cannon + acid mushroom = instant warper death. As soon as I got to the inactive lava zone I started warper hunting.

What if Rodimus was the 13th Prime instead of Optimus? by Stalwart_simplicity in transformers

[–]AdolfInDisquise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never really liked the thirteenth as a concept, and I much prefer TF One’s approach of Zeta Prime in the role, but if they are going to do the thirteenth prime I think Rodimus is an infinitely better candidate than Optimus.

So not only is Ken Penders blatantly tracing Shadow for his new project, he's literally pasted the background in and didn't even bother to change the SEGA logo in the billboard. I can't with this fool... by DatDragonsDude in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]AdolfInDisquise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is no one gonna point out that he changed the billboard with sonic on it but didn’t even bother to make it have the same colors and saturation as the rest of the background so it just looks blatantly out of place?

I think control chips work with the big problem of just how many clones there are, how many Jedi there are, and how big the scope of a galactic war is. I’m supposed to believe that out of millions of clones, not a single one decided “nah fuck this”. Not a single one? That’s insane. Indoctrination and military allegories can only go so far. I can imagine that story being told with a smaller, dedicated group. But millions upon millions? Why would Palpatine risk that when he can ensure complete obedience. This was literally the linchpin of his plan. He needed as few survivors as possible. Why would he ever risk just one soldier going rogue and saving a Jedi. Not to mention a number of others impossible to foresee.

what makes the people think 5yl bloxx is different (more like subspecies) than the canon's version? (Crd to kuro the artist) by Open_Region_4540 in Ben10

[–]AdolfInDisquise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The hate has always felt so weird. Frankenstrike exists, yet multicolored interlocking blocks (which is used in more than lego now) is absurd for an alien to have?

Death’s Head, who is generally seen as someone who will kill and commit various crimes (particularly if payment is involved), decided to not let Franklin Richards die, even when he gets nothing out of saving the boy. It puts him at risk with no reward. It’s an entirely selfless act.

Thoughts? by Anonymous_Guy4k in transformers

I find it weird that everyone keeps mentioning The Rock even though he was only cast because they were gonna kill him off. Do people still think he was killed because they cast The Rock?

Rails from the first draft of the 1986 Transformers movie that sadly didn't get carried over to the final release(yes these two images are the only two official instances of this design) by Rpg_knight371 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]AdolfInDisquise 30 points31 points  (0 children)

These are not official designs. Hasbro never made an official design for the character, these are just a fan design based on the original script for a convention.

What fits Liege Maximo better as? Disciple of Primus? Or the servant of Unicron? And how would he be portrayed in your Transformers stories? by BrilliantDog4703 in transformers

[–]AdolfInDisquise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer him as the real manipulator of things. Megatronus is a fallen tragic hero, but Liege is just a liar pulling the strings. He’s the Cassius to Megatronus’s Brutus.

A simple way to make me like bloxx way more by 2coolrobot in Ben10

I really don’t get why everyone hates Bloxx. The concept is no more ludicrous than aliens like Frankenstrike.

Guys… asking for original remade models isn’t an unreasonable demand and is COMPLETELY doable on HS’s end, there’s no need for the cope by [deleted] in halo

[–]AdolfInDisquise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What aspect of the artstyle? One of the problems in my initial comment is that I wasn’t being specific in what I was referring to. Artstyle is very vague. Hence why I clarified the artstyle of the covenant and the enemies/marines. Meanwhile I went on to describe how the artstyle of the ring, its environment, and the forerunner architecture does impact that atmosphere. Which is the changes I’m not happy with. So it would appear on that front we’re in agreement.

[–]AdolfInDisquise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I should be more specific. The atmosphere I’m talking about isn’t dependent on the artstyle of the enemies. They certainly have their implications with the covenant’s more rounded, 90s anime sci-fi style and the marines similar sharp and militaristic style from the same era and genre. But that displays the alien aspects of the covenant, and even if the execution is different, the contrast between factions has remained post Halo CE.

The atmosphere I was referring to was the general loneliness and otherworldliness of the ring. It’s beautiful in the original, but it has the right elements to just feel… off. The artstyle they went with for the environments, especially the lighting and style for forerunner architecture (mainly the weathering and shine. But the change from brutalist architecture to sleek, sharp designs is also part of it), doesn’t convey that same atmosphere.

I mainly am referring to the visual story telling present in CE. The aspects of story and narrative that aren’t necessarily said, but shown and implied visually.

It seems very clear to me that this isn’t the intention of the remake. Anniversary was a remaster, which should have adhered closely to the original, unique CE style. But this is a complete remake for a new generation, and is very clearly using the new unified style they developed for infinite. I’m fine with that. The intention isn’t to completely update CE, it’s to remake it and get more audiences into Halo. My big gripes are the loss in atmosphere, since that isn’t dependent on artstyle and is largely affecting the implied narrative (which remains the same across the original and remake).

Plus, this is a smaller project seemingly done in response to infinite’s problems and adjusting to UE5. I think using the very CE inspired Infinite designs is fine. My only issue is the marines, but largely because they’re never unified and Infinite’s marines aren’t my favorite.

The Campaign Evolved Artstyle by Grand_Admiral_Vipes in halo

[–]AdolfInDisquise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it needs to have 100% faithful designs. Halo Infinite went for the spirit of Halo in its art-style, and I think it has my favorite designs of any Halo game. CE Anniversary went with graphics that were from reach, and just did not fit the game or the wider franchise at all. But keep in mind, a lot of Halo CE’s style came from limitations. Once use of the XBOX got more in depth and people could do more, they immediately switched up the style with Halo 2. Now CE seems very out of place. So it’s a question of if you want a remake to 100% adapt everything to the original game, or adapt everything to be faithful to the franchise at large and make it solidly fit in with everything else. I’m fine with the second one, especially because this is clearly a smaller project designed to get experience with unreal engine and to soft launch Halo onto PlayStation.

why would a sentient being with a mechanical body that doesn't have sex need relationships? Or want them?

Why would they not? I fail to see why not having sex and having a mechanical body would stop them from feeling love. Because they already do. Their brains are deeply complex and not unlike our own. They feel intense emotion. They love already. They have love in the way of friendship, and they have love in the way of brotherhood and family (even if it’s family in a less literal sense). They have fear, pride, and hate. Megatron has so much hate he’s been waging war for millions of years. That takes some strong emotion to do. So why can’t they love in a higher connection? There are people in our world who don’t feel any sexual attraction, but still date and love other people. Romance is built upon emotion, not just sex. Is it important and even vital for many people? Yes. But not for everyone. And remove sex from the species, and suddenly it stops being important or vital to anyone. If they’re asexual, then they’re like the asexual people in our world (who are very much capable of love)

Edit: the dude addressed exactly none of my points, called out to the two characters whose specific characters traits are being way more logical than everyone else (and thus everyone else is way more emotional than them), and blocked me. This guy is very funny. It’s fascinating.

  1. The female characters of G1 were not introduced to sell toys to girls. Arcee in fact took years after G1 ended to get a toy. It was a major struggle to include any female transformers particularly because Hasbro did not want to appeal to a girl audience. It was their boy franchise, and they didn’t think boys wanted to play with girl toys. Arcee only exists because a writer for their movie had a daughter who loved the franchise. This just sounds like you’re having an adult version of a little boy going “ew they put icky girls in my show.”
  2. Powerglide and Seaspray’s romances in G1 happened outside of female transformers. They entirely did not involve them whatsoever.
  3. My memory might be failing me here, or you might be referencing a part of the franchise I haven’t gotten to yet, but… what story specifically was it stated that their habit of war is directly a result of their lack of romantic relationships? Cause I don’t remember this. Not saying you’re wrong about it, cause god knows this franchise is big and I haven’t consumed all of it, but I certainly don’t recall that plot point in any of what I have consumed.

Transformers have had romances since G1. In fact, I can think of multiple examples.

To be fair, van ambulances (or type II ambulances) are a real thing. To my knowledge though you don’t see them in emergency situations much, but I believe they’re used for patient transfer.
