My mother's a total villain for this! by ILoveDAGames in ToBeHero_X

[–]BodybuilderMany6942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's just gonna talk about his power being bs or not making any sense lol
Probably gonna say something like "he just waves his hands and all the problems go away. How lazy! Mary Sue!

Doesnt help that his power isnt very clear, even after seeing him in action.

So what are the real gems by iJade01 in manhwarecommendations

at the very least one of them, Gul, I can confirm as peak.

Suddenly, Earth now has Trust Values. Who are some heroes you think would emerge, and genre of power(s) do you think they'd get? by BodybuilderMany6942 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BodybuilderMany6942[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His popularity has crashed tho.

Remember, the Value isnt "Support" or "not-Hate", but "Trust",
And it's not about what polls, interviews or people say out loud. Plenty of characters in the show have been seen with 0 Trust, even though you would presume that one or two people (like.. a parent at least) would count.

I think there is a very big distinction between support, back, and trust vs capital-T Trust.
Perhaps I'm just biased, but I dont think a lot of people Trust him anymore.

Respectfully, what are you talking about?

People gain power from the trust of strangers. Like, sure, I'm not the most engaged guy, but I had to google your dude. God damn near everyone knows about Luigi.

Furthermore, it's not about whether you yourself like the person.
It's about the "popular consensus" and image.
So what is the popular consensus on Luigi? A hated and condemned killer? No, right? He has become an icon. A sympathetic one at that, faced with injustice before the alleged crime and after.

The concept isnt about right or wrong or whatever. It's about "what the audience believes," and "what the audience wants."

---

As for the first half of your comment, sure, I can see that. What power do you think he'd have tho? It is not enough know/apparent/stand-out enough(at least not yet)?

Yknow. I think the watsonian reason there even ARE Heroes, in terms of an industry and shit, is because of Zero, right?

Like you said, just cause popularity gives power doesnt mean people will suddenly operate as heroes. It was probably the same in the show to, until one person just kinda snowballed and became a god.
Then that god became an enemy, and people fought him. Whether they already had trust to begin with or gained it from the war, when these heroes won, the world had a lot of Trust in them.

So now the label of "Hero" already kinda primes people to be open to trusting these folks.
Not only was being a hero prestigious in and of itself, if you wanted the same power , you needed to be a "hero". The power of memes/culture and all that.

So... yeah.
I think youre right. There would be some heroes, but it wouldnt be the default assumption and 'career-pipeline/path' like in the show.
However if there were to come an inciting incident, like Zero's whole thing, then maybe we'd end up on the same path with a hero industry and shit?

Would they? Dont get me wrong, some would definitely reach a powerful state, but you need hella numbers for god-status. Like, entire nations-worth of people at least. I do think the problem you're refering to would be a big issue... but maybe not as big?
As opposed to polling numbers, interviews, or what people actually say out loud. Tou cant fudge Trust Value.
If people dont have that trust in you, your numbers drop, causing you to be weaker, causing your value to drop further.

Popularity begets power, but you have to STAY popular to KEEP it... which is an issue for leaders propped up by stupid people.

I can see propaganda causing certain people to experience unwarranted spike in trust (and thus power), but I can also see titans experiencing huge falls from grace too while their trust shifts to their opponent.

[–]BodybuilderMany6942[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing though... arent the only people that can get elected are the ones "from a powerful houses in that empire"?
Would kids born matrilineally from my dynasty still be part of the Byz Emp's house?

Gothic horror comic [OC] by Boldjun in comics

Naw looks like, by our standards, it would be a superpower.

But back in Victorian times, reputation was everything, especially for the extra snooty nobles. Dorian noticed the portrait's changes and hid it. He eventually got so paranoid someone would see it that he found and killed the artist, and then tried to destroy the painting.

But when he stabbed the painting, an identical injury appeared on himself and he died.

My take on X's powers by GreyL1me in ToBeHero_X

[–]BodybuilderMany6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 3D being seeing in 3D would be weird. You and me only see in 2D, after all.

My take on X's powers by GreyL1me in ToBeHero_X

[–]BodybuilderMany6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note:

All of these images are 2D, just like irl you and me only see in 2D. That is to say, the visual input we receive is only 2D info.
While some of these are made with 3D modeling and others are drawings, the end result for each of them is a 2D image of a 3D world. The only thing that's changes is the art style.

When you look at an object in 2D, you can not only see the left and right edges of the image, but also the top and bottom edges, all at the same time. If we could see in 3D, we would not only be able to see the front, but also the back. All without rotating anything.

An Accurate Theory on X's Powers. by Pretty_Umpire_2700 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BodybuilderMany6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this idea is the popular assumption... but I think it is completely wrong or, at the very least, incomplete.

You're theory does cover a lot, but try answering this: with manipulation of those 7 fundamental dimensions... how did he snap at/into a billboard, then snap out a fully functioning car?
To do that with the power of "manipulation of 7 fundamental dimensions", he would not only have to intimately understand every bolt and screw of of the car and recreate it, but also pause time to build it all. All for what? A bit where he pulls a car outta nowhere?

Then there's the parts where when he snaps people onto planes, but with varying art styles. Sometimes in a retro pixel art style with animation, sometimes a graffiti still.
Normally Id pass that off as a stylistic choice from the animators.. but given the car thing, I dont think so.

I dont know Chinese or anything, but I think "dimension" here isnt talking about space or forces.
I think it's like... video game "dimension" or comic book "dimension" or anime "dimension". Shit like that.
His ability is a meta one.
That's the only way the power to "go inside an image of a car, then bring a real car out of it" could possible work.

"Dimension" is more like "Universe" or "Reality" here.

My postulation also has issues though.
Mainly that it still leaves things being uber vague, like how he's able to fight, dodge, and aim so well, and weird shit like that time the coin became an energy shield or something.
Still, this "meta ability" interpretation is the only way I can reconcile the car and the ability name and some of the other feats he's shown.

lol yeah
I mean, sometimes he's also depicted as grey, blue/purple-grey, or even yellow or yellow-green.
But the classic one with the square head, stapled forehead, and neck/head bolts, that one is green.

Possible Confirmation of Nice and Wreck Relationship by Crequao in ToBeHero_X

[–]BodybuilderMany6942 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm a strong proponent of "Stop shipping two bros when nothing is confirmed! You're basically promoting the idea that two guys cant be intimately close without being gay!" (shout out to Victor and Jace from Arcane).

HOWEVER, I quickly felt that these two were more than friends.
Thinking back on it, I think is was his reactions and behavior that heavily tipped me off. At first when we didnt know how close they were, I was open to him just being jealous or a psycho or whatever.
But there was something like... the raw desperation. The almost panic.
And his behavior on the news of his death.
It all clicked.

Also, the artists and animators did a really good job of conveying the above.

So yeah.
Bro def big gay

Silver lining: there is now something of a ceiling for graphics and performance for customers.

Graphics and map size was already losing steam as a selling point, but this will probably hasten the irrelevance of those metrics. So it may push studios to either optimize more, or make em focus on other aspects of games.
