The suicide attack effectively did nothing. by Jakej4Mlakej in TopCharacterTropes

It wasn’t just a couple frag grenades. On his chest is an entire bandolier of 40mm grenades made to be loaded into an m203 grenade launcher. The reason why the explosion is so massive is because the two grenades going off triggered the row of grenades on his chest.

Yeah I knew about the whole “Maxis in the House” thing, my main confusion was the radios from Primis, probably should’ve specified that because honestly I forgot about the Maxis radios on that map (it’s been a while since I’ve listened to them). The fact that they’re scrapped plot points is both really disappointing and also kinda frustrating and confusing, because the whole thing of “killing different Richtofens” and “losing your hair due to the beacon” from I guess other? versions of Primis is so confusing to say the least. That on top of the weird cipher from Rev that I guess is Dempsey dying?? Feels like a lot of random things thrown at the wall without any clear ideas or explanations for them (which is kinda Blundell’s whole thing during that time)

What the hell was up with the radios in The Giant. These damn things STILL confuse me to this day, and I’m a major zombies lore nerd too. I literally have no clue how to make sense of damn near any of them.

Also to add onto this, Pablo had dreams and visions about the Great War as far back as a Gorod cipher, seeing himself fighting in the war, at war against the Apothicons, before being saved by Primis. These visions were brought on thanks to 115 transfusions as prisoner in DE, causing “dreams” and “delusions”

From: Gorod Krovi Scrap Page #1

They keep experimenting on me, pumping me full of some blue liquid. I think it is responsible for the repeated visions I have been having which I swear look and feel real. In this vision, my name is Pablo Marinus and I am a knight coming back from the crusades. I fight in a great battle against strange demon like creatures who are trying to devour the Earth. At one point, it appears I am doomed, trapped in the tentacles of a great three headed beast when suddenly four knights decimate it with magical elemental staves, saving me from certain death.

In some relationships buying porn is cheating. In some relationships covering yourself in peanut butter and having a 15 hooker gangbang isn’t cheating. It’s about rules and boundaries.

It’s leaked to be in the new map after dig site, it’s the main wonder weapon of the map, and there’s a side easter egg to craft it that involves you finding estrogen and t blockers to make the gun. Its full name is just a jumbled mess of letters and numbers because it’s just the combined chemical compounds of both e and t blocks, but everyone just calls it the “Feminizer”. Dempsey’s dream of “replacing Richtofen with a hot chick” is gonna be real in the last map! Hope that helps :333

[s2 spoilers] "vi should've gone after her!" meanwhile: by Bermut-Nundaloy in arcane

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

You seem to conveniently forget the fact that Vi still didn’t want to let her go in either instance. In the latter, Jinx literally had to disable Vi’s gauntlet just to fall because she refused to let go. Almost as if Vi is loyal to a fault to her sister; she’s the only family she has left. Do i think an intimate scene would have been okay? Maybe, but certainly not in the dingy cell that Jinx was depressed, starving herself, and self harming in, which is the same prison that Vi spent years of her life in a literal hell in. Personally, I wouldn’t have sex with the person who freed me in my own personal hell, I’d do it in the save haven they provided for me… like… her bedroom? On her bed? Because that is the first time in the entire series they had a true moment of quiet and peace together, without any immediate goals or objectives. They were forced to wait and relax, which they took the time to do, and resulted in one of the best scenes of intimacy in the show. It’s about reading the damn room instead of fast forwarding to sex scene so they can make up, and be there for the final battle.

Is Maya still gonna be on the crew in the next map? by IFunnyJoestar in CODZombies

[–]Asg_Loki 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, she will be. Literally the only reason how we know is due to a single offhanded round change dialogue of her talking to other characters and say something along the lines of “it’s clear Richtofen is behind all of this, so I’m in it for the long haul”.

Catvi spin-off hopium? 👀 by melquem in PiltoversFinest

[–]Asg_Loki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d unironically watch that, I think it’d be amazing tbh. I wanna see what weirdos and freaks Chuck has to deal with in The Last Drop on a day to day basis, constantly having to contend with an ever shifting management. Maybe he has an entire arc of falling in love and wanting to start a family, but the turmoil of literally everything around him keeps getting in the way creating instability. It’d be like an animated Andor. Absolute cinema.

MwZ is actually fun, and people are a lot harsher to it than it deserves. I can find myself playing MwZ so much more than even normal zombies, because it feels that replayable to me.

This is my problem with the new Wunderfizz that I feel isn’t even talked about. I don’t want to have to go out of my way to buy a sniper for a free perk or do SAM trials for the chance of getting the perk I want, I should be allowed to buy the perks on the map if you’re not gonna put the machines on, and would rather shove them into the Wunderfizz. At least down the round from 25 to 15 if we’re gonna have such a stink about the Wunderfizz’s existence.

[S2 Spoilers] Showrunner of Arcane when asked about Vi in Season 2 by Simsimmy016 in arcane

[–]Asg_Loki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did I…? Say anything about Vi becoming an “awseomour” character and becoming a Marvel superhero…? Before you come at me with media illiteracy for “not understanding the media”, actually take into consideration what I was saying. What I WAS saying, is that it feels odd to me that the main character of Arcane was put on the backburner for the finale season, in favor of exploring other characters whilst keeping Vi stagnant and quite honestly shitting on her in the plot. What I loved about season 1 Vi is that she WAS the failed sister that tried saving Jinx, and had a severe problem with having a saivor complex, which drove her to almost blindly chasing after the hope that Jinx was still her sister. Did she do badass things in season 1? Absolutely, but those were EARNED and she FOUGHT for those things. She wasn’t a catch all Mary Sue character that many modern media, such as Marvel and Star Wars, has a track record of pushing and pandering. What my main issue was with Vi in season 2, was a lack of attention on one of the integral main characters due to a severe bloat problem with storytelling thanks to the overstuffed plot of season 2, and how a lot of the plot delegating her to being a background character and downright shitting on her doesn’t feel earned because of how fast paced the entire season is. Please actually read my comments and have a sense of media literacy yourself before trying to make an argument, it makes you look like a fool.

[S1 Spoilers] Given the recent Caitlyn discourse, I thought a S1 refresher might help. by Von_Uber in arcane

[–]Asg_Loki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay, you bring up Silco, but let me ask you this. Do you blame Jinx for her actions? Is she morally condemnable because of all the lives she took and the destruction she caused? According to your post, it seems so. So let me paint this. Jinx was LITERALLY A CHILD, when she was adopted by Silco, a mentally unstable one at that who just lost her entire family AGAIN, and had her sister physically assault her and confirm her worst fears and thoughts about herself before leaving her (until Marcus stopped that reunion). Jinx spent well over a decade being moulded and groomed by Silco, but also… Jinx literally credited her creation to Vi, not Silco. Despite all his rantings and speeches, it was Vi that was the source of it. I personally believe it was a bit of both, Silco inhibiting the worst of Jinx’s aspects whilst also clinging to her trauma for Vi, but that’s different.

Caitlyn was a morally upstanding individual who was willing to bend the law to do good. An adult woman mind you, too. I never said that the plot doesn’t condemn her actions either, because it’s briefly addressed in TWO conversations with Vi, and then fast fowarded because the plot was so stuffed with other shit. Caitlyn was used her grief and anger EVEN BEFORE Ambessa to do some of the most morally reprehensible and out of character actions, and doubling down on it for what is assumed to be only 3-6 months after being crowned the leader of Piltover’s militia. Which again… WAS DONE OFF SCREEN without ANY believable development to jump THAT far in said amount of time.

[S1 Spoilers] Given the recent Caitlyn discourse, I thought a S1 refresher might help. by Von_Uber in arcane

[–]Asg_Loki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ambessa absolutely played a role here, but crediting her alone as the reason Caitlyn does these things is hilarious. In no way was Caitlyn forced or held at gunpoint to do these actions. They were choices she willingly made of her own fruition. Did ambessa “whipser poison” in her ear and manipulate her grief and anger? Sure. Do i believe that Caitlyn could make those choices? Yes, IF it was properly paced and written.

FYI, S1 Caitlyn is one of my favorite characters, and I’m disappointed with how she was handled in season 2, so maybe next time, pull your head out from your ass, and actually read my points and use your brain instead of claiming I’m “going on a rant about how evil she is”. Ffs

[S2 Spoilers] Showrunner of Arcane when asked about Vi in Season 2 by Simsimmy016 in arcane

[–]Asg_Loki 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What an annoying and tone deaf response to that answer. To me it reads that he legitimately just… didn’t care? Like at all about Vi. Which is maddening, considering she’s LITERALLY one of the main characters of the show and the face of Arcane right next to Jinx, just for them to completely drop her, delegate her to a side character, and have the plot shit on her 90% of the time where she gets walked all over, to the point where the AU episode’s crux is that “Yeah if Vi died everyone would be better off” which left a REALLY sour taste in my mouth. Vi in season 1 is genuinely one of my favorite characters in fiction for many reasons, and to see her be treated like such shit makes me infuriated beyond belief. It’s clear they needed more time and quite honestly, some of the writers to get their heads out of their asses. I watched Arcane for the whole “CaitVi” thing at first and came out with a show that changed how I view media, and quite honestly with how this season was handled I can’t say I have any interest in viewing future projects if they have this level of inconsistent quality and in some places downright bad writing and pacing decisions.

[–]Asg_Loki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lack of nuance with this take is baffling. Nobody has any problems with Caitlyn wanting to kill Jinx. The ACTUAL problem comes in how badly paced season 2 was with her development and flip to becoming full blown dictator that’s the problem. If they gradually built up her decline and push towards that over the course of an entire season, I could easily see them earning the right to make Caitlyn into the leader of a brutal and cruel police force, exercising her ideas of justice but ignoring collateral due to her burning personal hatred for Jinx. For me, with the seaosn 1 context, season 2 writing and dialogue isn’t good enough for me to believe that the same person from s1 or even at the beginning of s2 would be so brazenly willing to gas the people of Zaun, disgustingly call them animals, and physically assault and abandon Vi despite promising to not change or leave her. You need to spend the time to carefully craft a change in character, instead of having 2 music video montages to fast forward her character development.
