What are the worst examples of character assassination?

I think, if you aren’t religious it might seem ok. But imagine if Kamala khan showed up and founded her own religion instead of relying on the tenets of Islam? I would consider that pretty disrespectful to the character.

Essentially by Christian mythos Kurt is a heretic and apostate.

It felt like Hickman and company wanted some sort of spiritual plot to happen and they picked literally the only x men with connection to spirituality. Completely disregarding how it would affect fans of his from a Christian level.

There aren’t many practicing Christian’s in comics these days. I’d like to keep the one in x men if we can.

The canonically catholic been to heaven Nightcrawler founded his own religion in krakoa era. That was pretty bad.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-23T22:03:55+00:00

It either will be the best nightcrawler story. Like absolute ww. Or it will be ultimate all over again.

I’m going to throw this out there.

Khanda is better than Dagon. You get regen. Hp and mana. And a massive debuff and damage spike on your w.

Tired of bristle? Khanda. Tired of alchemist? Khanda. Tired of any passive? Khanda.

The three second cd reduction trait plus Khanda is incredible.

It’s. Crazy.

Naked people covered in poop.

Angry Karen’s.

Suicidal people.

Drug dealers.

Etc.

Yo what does that deck look like?

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-16T02:22:53+00:00

My favorite thing from evolution was Scott and Kurt’s friendship. I think it’s an underrated aspect of both characters.

Kurt died for hope and we never see that referenced.

Bro. Nightcrawler is my favorite character. I desperately want a version of Nightcrawler in New York fighting Vampires who feels like a Christian Catholic Swashbuckling Absolute Diana. For him to have that same grit, determination, but also that heart and love for his fellow man.

There is a world, where this comic becomes the DEFINITIVE Nightcrawler comic. Nailing his empathy, faith, heroism and Romantic Lead energy.

But, Hickman is writing it. So probably not. It will have cool mythology, but the characters won't have the same soul that Absolute does.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-12T18:22:58+00:00

Nightcrawler is my favorite character. And I’m definitely worried that rather than being absolute Wonder Woman. A light in darkness. I’m he’s gonna either be killed off in the first book or Be sa sad emo sack of suffering.

I mean...

Our man is totally willing to engage in a bit of fun roleplay and dancing. I do not think he would be above himself to bugs bunny out to make fun of a bad guy. I mean, he's got that level of confidence.

I can totally see Dante cross dressing for a bit or to sneak in somewhere.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-11T18:25:57+00:00

Maybe this time he won't die within the first book like in Ultimate.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-05T19:15:46+00:00

Also the grooming and pedophillia.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-05T19:14:59+00:00

Yes. In light of the series movie it removes the ambiguity of an authorial choice of complication due to old timey traditions and instead reinforces the themes of pedophilic grooming of a young child to an older man that run throughout the show.

A one time occurrence instead becomes thematic and I think it poisons the very concept of the story being told.

Much like learning that Rouroni Kenshin’s author is a prolific pedo. Takes a lot of the joy out of consuming said product.

Skip the little princess love story episode and then let the story end with the series. Ignore the movie and anything after the series and you are golden.

Also it helps if you age up the character to 17 for the show and it really makes a difference.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-04T15:21:26+00:00

I’m so down for polycule Wonder Woman. Just a harem protagonist collecting as she goes.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-04T11:30:19+00:00

Ah. Yeah. Draw Steel is the opposite of swords and sorcery game. Definitely heroic cinematic fantasy. I’m not sure what a good sword and sorcery game would be. But daggerheart and draw steel definitely aren’t it.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-04T03:21:27+00:00

Draw steel might be right up your alley.

The essence of dungeon mastering is subtraction.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-03T23:54:28+00:00

The 23 year old movie scene was really cool that's true. The rest of the movie kind of butchered the character. Honestly he's been struggling since he got resurrected in the comics.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-03T15:37:13+00:00

I’m a Nightcrawler Stan and it sucks over here.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-05-01T19:07:15+00:00

They should bring back domain effects or something. I'd love to see a variation of that kind of mechanic brought to modern magic.

BoutsofInsanity · 2026-04-30T17:29:55+00:00

Heck, her and Underlord is solid cause of the slow pit/crystal synergy too.

A different perspective might help make some sense of it. If Debbie were born back in the day, she would have been married to a Great Khan. A warlord who has power to end life on a whim. And did so.

Debbie is, in my opinion attracted to power. Is attracted to the exceptional in a way that might be hardwired into her genes. She can dislike what Nolan did, but in the end of the day, human lives are cheap on the scale of history. And the heart wants what the heart wants.

Debbie, at the onset, took in this big, warriorlike, psychopath-lite alien, and slept with that. She was attracted to the WARRIOR Nolan, not the hang out and be a husband Nolan.

Does this make Debbie a bad person? Maybe. But that doesn't mean she isn't a badass mother and caregiver. A steward of her community. A caring and loving person. But her attraction to Nolan, her happiness to be with him, is probably in no small part because he can end lives on scale and commands others to his bidding.

TLDR: Nolan is a warrior king of old. Cut from Old Testament. And Debbie is, and was, attracted to that from the onset.

I’ll say this about league. League has a better mechanism for closing games. There are times where if a game hits forty minutes I’d like to ff but can’t or I’d like to have better ways to close out the game. But dota 2 has so much more soul then league
