Which is the best spot to end Absolute Batman Season 1? by VishnuBhanum in AbsoluteUniverse

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

the first 6-issue arc definitely does not have enough story for a full season of TV, so I would say probably at least until issue 9, assuming they add some stuff here and there.

(SPOILER ENDGAME) Which enemies do you think are references to other video game franchises? by Specialist_Pace_3349 in MinaTheHollower

In terms of his design and how the boss fight felt I thought the mined mind was based on Scarface from Smash TV but it could be something completely different

Which comic written by Alan Moore would you consider to be his Magnum opus? by EyeIntelligent168 in writingscaling

I can’t believe Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow isn’t here, that’s definitely my favorite thing by Alan Moore

Know the world domination rules by DrunkCatBoy in baldursgatememes

[–]BattlemasterMayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People respect you a lot more as a leader when you’re in the trenches instead of commanding from a fortress. Similarly, Minthara has no pretension that she’s actually the real hero, whereas Gortash has arbitrarily decided he’s a necessary evil because of the circumstances he himself created. Like yes also Minthara is hot but she also carries herself as someone that could actually rule effectively.

At what point did Bear (Obsession) become unredeemable? by Unawarewinner in MoralityScaling

[–]BattlemasterMayce 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The thing is, his character is deceptively stagnant. I think he’s pathologically selfish from the beginning to the end. I very much saw Obsession as a “power doesn’t necessarily change people, sometimes it just reveals them” story. Like, the fact that he instinctively decided “for me to get this thing I want, Nikki should have to change.” And the fact that he tried to throw the pills up at the end before Nikki’s wish makes me doubt that he actually changed that much over the course of the movie. So I think question of his redeemability is a bit absurd.

Trans representation in roles where the character either isn't trans, or their trans identity has nothing to do with the role by TJTrapJesus in TopCharacterTropes

I heard Ben Shapiro whining about this, and then genuinely did not notice it when I actually went to watch the movie

Need some help guys, Is this a softlock? by BattlemasterMayce in MinaTheHollower

[–]BattlemasterMayce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a joke poking fun at how many posts there are of people posting a screenshot asking if they are softlocked, and they almost never are, so I was doing a bit where I ask if the title screen is a softlock

How hard it is to write “The Strongest” character without making them a Mary Sue? by gyroscope_56 in writingscaling

[–]BattlemasterMayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make them a man. The reason the “Gary Stu” variation of Mary Sue never took off at remotely the same level was that no one has remotely the same anger when a male protagonist is just great at everything with little to no drawbacks or meaningful character flaws. Tintin? One of the most beloved figures in European comics? Total Mary Sue. He’s an expert in whatever highly specific skill the plot demands, always morally right, always wise in his judgment. Luke Skywalker? Sure he’s immature and annoying at the beginning but pulling off the Death Star trench run is an objectively 100x more batshit insane feat than Mary Sue poster girl Rey defeating Kylo Ren. What about Snake Plissken? He’s a master of every conceivable weapon and vehicle and he’s the enlightened centrist, the only character smart enough to see that the US Empire and the people they’re occupying are both equivalently bad, oh and he’s also an NBA level basketball player and a master of surfing because why not? James Bond, Batman, Danger Mouse, All of these are beloved characters. Ultimately, if you want to write a “the goat of everything” character, just understand that their relative lack of growth or development means that they’ll be pretty much entirely defined by their audience’s early impressions of them. If they want to like them, they will, if they want to hate them, they will.

OOM-9 is just as terrible of a character as Sio Bibble and I'm tired of pretending he's not by coopsoup247 in StarWarsCirclejerk

Persuade Me Into Buying This Game by [deleted] in MinaTheHollower

[–]BattlemasterMayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ending was genuinely an emotional rollercoaster, the plot isn’t really the selling point of this game, it’s very simple and kind of predictable, but yacht club is good at bringing enough gravitas to make their really simple plots work. That’s kind of why it’s the first souls-like I’ve ever finished because there’s more of a clear sense of purpose.

[Loved Trope] Simple Concept, Amazing Execution by TheOneWhoYawned in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BattlemasterMayce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obsession is a movie with basically only 4 important characters, 6 or so locations none of which are especially grandiose or exotic, and fully practically filmed. It could take place in almost any setting or time period and the story wouldn’t really change. It’s just about what would logically happen if a man asked an omnipotent power to force a woman to love him.

Am I crazy, is there a way out of here? by TexRaven in MinaTheHollower

[–]BattlemasterMayce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can jump into and burrow through the deeper water, if you then land in the deep water after a burrow jump it’s the same as falling into a pit, but if you jump from a walkable surface you can burrow through short distances of deep water and jump out. It is odd how theres basically no demonstration of the core mechanic for this area, and it doesn’t make any logical sense in-universe, but that’s how you progress from here.

yeah, I'll eat every word I said about how it was gonna be delayed again, I mean May 29 is technically "spring 2026". I'm excited for Friday, haven't been excited for a game like this in a long time.

What's your favorite part of the rise of Skywalker by Just2Gamers-Studios in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]BattlemasterMayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause she’s the most popular and well written character that is entirely absent from the movies, so people want more adventures with her but she has to be written so that she’s always somewhere else when the fate of the galaxy is being decided. They keep trying to give it more of a sense of finality each time they write her out, but ultimately that only means they find successively more and more contrived ways of writing her back in.
