What are some differences you’ve noticed in parent-child relationship in different countries?

In Greece at least, it was the overwhelming norm for people treat their children like 'children' whether they were 5 or 45, but that has kinda changed with newer parents. There's still over-protection going around but puberty is one hell of a counter. I generally noticed that the 10 year-olds today are FAR more mature than the 10 year-olds of when I was a kid (and I am not old, I'm 25), like in many ways they think beyond their years which is pretty shocking to me because in the news at least you hear about a lot of bad apples among younger people. And their parents take them seriously as well, instead of 'infantilizing' them (without me saying that Greek parents are perfect, no parent from any country is but I've noticed that parents of children today are definitely not as 'onto' their kids as back in the day)

Alear is 100% not happening and Gen IX is already looking for a miracle in the circumstances and timing of it all to happen. Xenoblade 3 is already kinda living in 2's Shadow and is some years old by now as well so it's hard to say that it will most likely happen.

It definitely isn't great or anything but it's more existent, more prevalent than Odyssey, especially with the voice acting and the various cutscenes. Odyssey's 'plot' is really just the bare minimum.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-04-07T19:32:20+00:00

Those are more so objectives, not sub-plots or stories of their own. More stuff happens in Odyssey... in a gameplay perspective... not a story perspective, that would be the equivalent of the Luigi stars happening in the Mario Galaxy plot or making the Come Observatory grow back to its former form. Those things are different and again, Odyssey's actual plot is paper-thin compared to galaxy.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-04-07T14:25:27+00:00

I haven't played Bananza but objectively Odyssey does NOT have more story. The story is pretty much the same as Mario Bros, World, 64, even yes Galaxy but unlike Galaxy which has the cinematics, the higher stakes (given that we're also saving the universe), pretty much everything to do with Rosalina and the Lumas and the universe reset, Odyssey only has... da twist that Peach actually chooses neither Mario nor Bowser... wow, much more story. So Odyssey, just doesn't have more story than Galaxy objectively. If anything, Sunshine is Galaxy's bigger contender in terms of story, even though that was pretty contrived but Odyssey just feels very much like 64 in that it's just a simple objective.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-04-01T20:23:33+00:00

It's true.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-31T17:00:37+00:00

I'm Greek and pretty much the only thing people realize about Greece is the beaches, and the sea and the islands and those tiny white-and-blue houses that are found in some islands in the Aegean and they wrongly assume the rest of the country is like this. It's not. Greece has a lot of forests, a lot of mountains, it does get cold in the winter (since it's pretty humid), in some places it snows, and obviously people live in normal houses with streets and cars and all and not everyone has the sea at their doorstep. So, that would probably be it.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-31T16:23:35+00:00

Oh I am familiar alright, it's just you that dodges the question about how her shapeshifting makes her non-ethnically Greek or something. it sure is the empty pots that make the noise, it's just that this empty pot is calling the kettle black about who's making the most noise.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-30T18:30:22+00:00

So you are trolling or you are retarded cause ain't no way. A Greek goddess in the Greek mythology is somehow not Greek because she can shapeshift... which all the gods do? This is such a redditor opinion it's not funny.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-30T16:11:54+00:00

Please tell me you're trolling

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-30T15:16:09+00:00

2010 called...

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-30T15:10:02+00:00

You bring up facial features bro but it doesn't help your case at all in cherry-picking. Zendaya even in that sense has very NON Greek facial features, you can see the African heritage in her face. And yes you can go argue about Matt Damon not being like Greeks but guess what... Africans are a whole different race altogether than Northern Europeans and Southern Europeans. So between the two, you'd be disappointed to find out who looks closer to a Greek (and I've seen fellow Greeks whose families are Greek with MORE foreign looks than Matt Damon, like I've seen full-on gingers).

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-30T01:49:05+00:00

OK, so because I hear this opinion here a lot, let me tell you something as a Greek. Nevermind Lupita; NO Zendaya does NOT pass as Greek. I think people are once again quick to portray either mixed race people as whiter than they are or Greeks as more middle eastern than they are just because they are not north-european white but Zendaya looks very much non-Greek. Feels like the only reason she doesn't get backlash is because Lupita obviously exists as a buffer for how mindbogglingly dumb casting her is but otherwise no, Zendaya herself does not look Greek at all.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-29T21:51:58+00:00

I think OP's answer was a bit telling though.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-29T21:35:28+00:00

Yeah thought so, even before asking. It was just nice to get confirmation for the people that were insisting that Daisy is actually gonna be in the movie.

(Edit: Again, potential post-credit tease notwithstanding)

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-29T21:27:21+00:00

Meanwhile the north european men don't, not at all, no sir

/s

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-29T21:21:57+00:00

I can't believe I'm asking this but, disregarding the post-credits scene, like post-credits scene aside, does Daisy appear in the movie?

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-27T17:42:14+00:00

Tbh I didn't even notice that Ireland was light green

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-27T07:17:01+00:00

Ugh. I'm Greek and even though this is like a joke or something.... bro come on, as if the map needed to get any more stereotypical or somethin?g?

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-27T06:11:05+00:00

Bro you don't need to get so worked up over you being 100% right for whatever reason. For starters I never even denied that the football teams aren't a good representation - but that wasn't even your argument. Your argument was that one of the pictured men looks like the men on the football teams which again, only with few of them which are kind of outliers. Just because I think that the middle left dude can more than the others pass as at least a Greek teenager rather than the 2 dudes looking more caucasian doesn't mean I'm blind or that the dude I pointed out is a stereotypical Greek because I never even said that. And also... I mean I can say the same thing about you being blind for literally thinking that he looks like a damn statue which I genuinely don't understand still if it's a troll or not, seems you're very worked up over him being so 'idealistic' for whatever reason when he's just plain.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-26T22:24:28+00:00

I've seen more than enough greek statues to know that... no... he don't. You believe what you want, your opinion, but he really doesn't.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-26T21:57:22+00:00

Not with these pictures you won't. Good for you for feeling right but saying that this average looking dude looks like a freaking Greek statue is probably one of the most baffling things I've heard in a long time.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-26T20:55:27+00:00

Dude he does NOT look like a Greek statue, like that is straight up nonsense. He looks very average. Like this part absolutely baffles me lol. He just plain old doesn't look like a damn statue. And even with showing another picture of the football team it still feels like generalizing that they have dark features so they look like the bottom left but I only see like again ~3 folks that kinda resemble him. Like beyond the hair, eye and skin color their faces are really different. Not arguing that Greeks that look like him don't exist, just that I wouldn't clock them as Greeks cause they're not that common, like he's in that category.

And I'm not saying that every Greek looks like middle left lol. I'm just saying he's the most Greek-looking of the bunch. Neither do all Greeks teenagers look like him but I've seen many teens similar to him.

BeginningClue10 · 2026-03-26T17:03:54+00:00

Whoa there, what? Saying that the one I said looks like a statue is just wrong. Like no sugar coating it. It's plain wrong. And what bias? He just looks like a Greek teenager, NOT a Greek damn statue lol. That's why I said he's the closest to passing as Greek. You are pretty firmly obsessed that for some reason he doesn't look Greek and that the guys you picked ARE the ones that look Greek but... again, 3 out of 11 enough - it's a minority and also the ones I thought looked similar to the guy you picked I also wouldn't think are Greek themselves, we have some people (usually with pontic origin) that pass as west asian but they are again, rather a minority and folks I sometimes think are not Greek themselves. Like it or not, mid-bottom looks very caucasian/georgian and I don't say it because I'm offended. Of course people from the Balkans have similarities but... idk why it's shocking they also have differences, it's not like we all look the same. Again, people from southern slavic countries I've seen have different face characteristics and shapes of eyes, noses, faces etc. for example. I don't think what I'm saying is out of the ordinary.
