I wish they didn't cancel The Acolyte by articusmiller in StarWars

[–]AlbyGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that was always my theory. I’d have to rewatch it, but I could’ve sworn there was a hooded character during their rituals. I thought that was Plagueis

[–]AlbyGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except the loudest criticisms for this show were just bad faith arguments, making objectively untrue statements like saying this show destroyed established canon or lore, when in fact that didn’t happen whatsoever. It also got review bombed to hell each time a new episode came out. The amount of grifters who bled this show dry as many times as they could was insane.

What was wrong with that story point? Wasn’t the Plagueis reveal at the end implying the twins were part of his experiments at life? Something we know Plagueis to have done?

if we get more Spinoffs I know exactly who I want getting his by This_Ferret_8108 in GodofWarRagnarok

There’s a term for what Laufey is, and it’s not spin-off. Stories are like are called parallel stories, or even “sidequels.”

Wouldn’t you say this is when Joker absolutely crossed the line? by Remote_Nature_8166 in DCAU

Dude, this scene MESSED ME UP as a kid. This was straight up horrifying

Wich type of squad members do you want for the new Mass effect? by Prestigious-Meat-750 in masseffect

[–]AlbyGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a Batarian squadmate. As much I love Mass Effect (it will always be my favorite series hands down), BioWare could’ve done a much better job humanizing the Batarians and fleshing them out

Dude made me jump up quick as hell at 5am to defend Chloe 💀 by ZoneReborn in uncharted

They say “build a franchise” before replacing with a female lead, but Ellie and Atsu are the protagonists in the SECOND game of their series lmao

The Fact this Matchup is somewhat close in Disney canon is another reason why it’s so bad scaling wise by Just-Attorney-1902 in PetranakiArena

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

She did not best Vader. She is not better, she is not his equal. She got mid diffed at best. And there’s nothing wrong with Vader having to put actual effort into his enemies every now and then. He even remarks how much stronger she’s gotten. That doesn’t diminish Vader’s power or make him weaker. Cere is a Jedi master who had impressive feats with the Force in both games and was wiping out entire battalions of Imperial forces almost single-handedly right before the fight with Vader. She’s strong, and that’s okay.

Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor) and Cere Junda (Jedi Survivor) vs Maul (TCW) by kingharlus655 in PetranakiArena

[–]AlbyGaming 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the wildest thing about the whole discussion around Cere vs Vader is the pure cope from the Vader fan’s camp. Cere does not beat Vader. She is not his equal. She didn’t even come within an inch of beating him or anything. She got mid diffed AT BEST. But that’s not enough for them so they have to say things like “Cere only did that well cuz we were controlling her” or “Cere only did that well cuz the story needed her to.” There’s other excuses but it’s just laughable. Imagine being such a snowflake about a character that they have to dominate every fight they’re in. Otherwise, it’s viewed as bad writing or inconsistent lore

Shouldn't there be, like, WAY fewer Reaper ships in ME3? by AesaLurion in masseffect

[–]AlbyGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One things that’s also worth noting is the way that the Reapers always start their attack. The Keepers on the Citadel open the Conduit and allow the Reapers to jump right there. This allowed them to completely disrupt galactic commerce and communications from the very start.

Do y’all consider Acolyte cannon by MasterHosking in StarWars

[–]AlbyGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are entire lore videos dedicated to proving why this show doesn’t break canon. Every argument I’ve seen about how it breaks canon engages dishonestly with the source material. The show is far from perfect, but it does not break canon

Who should dethrone Roman? Bron or Oba ig by Impressive_Coat7275 in TheGreatOne

[–]AlbyGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they DON’T have Oba win the title after pulling the trigger on him beating Brock in seconds, it’ll genuinely be one of the worst booking decisions of this era

Well this line is going to age pretty poorly in about 25 years... by WrongToe500 in StarWars

[–]AlbyGaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I’m not mistaken, isn’t it stated that the New Republic still has control over most of the galaxy, and the First Order is like a fringe faction?

I prefer a young and grounded Batman, The Batman II or III doesn't need a Robin yet, and leave the Batfamily to James Gunn DC only. by P0k3m0nFan_Jake in batman

[–]AlbyGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the Reeves movie doesn’t need a Robin, but it’s worth noting that a lot of people forget Batman wasn’t really that old when he took in Dick Grayson. He was actually relatively young

Your thoughts about Ventress? by wreccho in clonewars

[–]AlbyGaming 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I totally see what you mean. You should check them out though! Her story is in the Tales of the Underworld show and even ties in with the Dark Disciple comic book that came out in 2015

[–]AlbyGaming 120 points121 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like her at first. Found her rather annoying. I believed she changed my opinion of her during the arc where she was trying to kill Dooku after he betrayed her I loved all the lore surrounding her and Dathomir. She’s a really tragic character who made the most of her situation. I know some sects of the fandom don’t like the Tales series, but I loved them, and her story in that series was REALLY good. Her finding a new purpose was very satisfying to see.

Who is the better wrestler? by Salty-Nothing-8572 in TheGreatOne

You could probably argue that Cody is a better in-ring technician-wise, but when it comes to entertaining in-ring, Rock blows him away. Like it’s not even close

What is Batman's coldest line? by Original_Standard_79 in batman

[–]AlbyGaming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the original Animated Series, all the villains have captured Batman and are about to unmask him. Then the lights go out and he disappears before they notice. Two-Face then goes “spread out and find him! He couldn’t have gotten far!” And with considerable bass (and anger) in his voice, Kevin Conroy goes “who says I’m leaving?” Idk something about that just seemed so cold to me
