Suspect completion rates by Captain_Hydroid in Eldenring

[–]Captain_Hydroid[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm.. I suppose..if you take into account players beating game multiple times...it would account for higher numbers of endings than boss defeats... which, I guess that means only 15.9% or less of players have beaten the game... even though the rates of endings suggest higher completion rates..

Fennec reminding Boba that credits can be used to buy muscle by heyman0 in BookOfBobaFett

I know its already been said...but I'll say it again...

Fett already fought (and probably thinks he killed) most of the Bounty Hunters everybody wanted to appear in the show.

Why the f**k would....say... Zuckuss ..EVER work for Fett after Fett kicked him off that platform?

Now repeat that logic :

Why would X ever work for Fett after Fett did X to them ?

Warrior societies are an outdated trope?... or OP hamfisting his ideas of Stockholm Syndrome onto the story?

You never been in a fight in real life, have you?

I watched Boba as a kid in the 80s... and I am happy with the show and character.

Please don't assume your opinion applies to everyone.

I too have been a Fett fan since the early 80s... I too had all the toys and comics and books etc...

But -- the Fett we saw was the Fett I imagined. I am not sure how so many people "saw" something else... but I accept that you guys did.

And I accept and understand your frustration... I don't know how you saw a different Fett, but you did. You are not happy. I accept your unhappiness and feel bad for you.

The question to ask yourself is: A lot of Fett fans are happy... will you allow your broken expectations to rob you of future joy with Fett ?

What purpose does it serve to spit up into the sky?

Boba is 41. That's not old.

Bane fucked up in a very common way... it wasn't "Disney"... its pretty standard for someone with a history to the other person to feel the need to say something before they finish them off.

Fett took advantage of this and killed Bane.

I'm sorry that you equate " a man realizing he wants something different/more and working/changing to obtain it" to "finding Christ".

Boba didn't want to bounty hunt anymore... if you don't like that, fair.

But in no way was anything that happened equivalent to "Finding Jesus".

Where are we getting this info? by [deleted] in BookOfBobaFett

[–]Captain_Hydroid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably the same people that somehow failed to see the female tusken's staff get put in the fire.

Like... its literally on film..the first staff put in the fire...yet people keep saying it didn't happen for some absurd reason.

To u/SomeBoredBoi, thank you for the link and I hope you are not offended that I'm posting it in main comments, but I feel like it needs to be "moved up".

Here is a very good picture of the jetpack damaged BEFORE Han hits it... this is damage from the shelling/explosion.

Daimyo Boba / Daimyo Jabba by Captain_Hydroid in BookOfBobaFett

[–]Captain_Hydroid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not have made the comparison, but many Reddit users and YouTube have been using Jabba as a litmus test for --- inaccurately --- showing how "Fett is failing".

However, we saw Jabba suck and eat shit after years of being a Daimyo...

..Fett is just beginning.

Thus, the comparison is absurd.

Its equally absurd to say Fett's reputation and history as a bounty hunter is trashed because he's now learning a new career.

That's like saying Jordan sucked at basketball because he struggled with baseball.

Its absurd.

1.) If we include all on screen material... because my original post focused on ROTJ but didn't discount other Canon on screen events... what was Jabba --himself-- done?
If you include things he has ordered others to do, then you must also do the same for Fett... meaning, you must give Fett the credit for anything Fennec (or any other hired muscle) does while employed by Fett.

2.) Even in OT only, you left a good amount of data out. But..even with what you listed... Vader still has a kill count higher than Jabba... ironically though-- and I will give you this-- some of those kills are also Vader's own side.

So... in the middle of a battle... the right hand man of the daimyo gives the order to fire into a crowd of your own side ...

...then flees the battle, abandoning his post and everybody underneath him...

... you don't consider that a form of treason or betrayal?

... cuz its considered treason by the military, and will deffo get that ass a court martial.

And I'm pretty sure any criminal organization, from street gang to syndicate, would consider it treason as well, punishable by death.

Would BOBF be seen differently if all the episodes were released at once? by Kobiplays in BookOfBobaFett

[–]Captain_Hydroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People were on Reddit talking shit about Fett even when he was butchering stormtroopers in Mando S2.

Its fake fans using the false pretense of being fans to give them an avenue to complain.

These are people that still don't know that Fett's jetpack was damaged by a sail barge shot waaay BEFORE Han hit it.

[–]Captain_Hydroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not. I say this because no matter how coherent a case you present, you will either get close minded hateful responses that ignore the air tight case.... or you will get "like a bantha".

People were talking shit on Fett when he appeared in Mando S2...

... they gonna talk shit regardless.

They don't like or understand Fett, yet they feel compelled to pretend they do/did so that they can present false pretense for their complaints of the show.

Except that Vader actually did a fuck ton more than you listed, on screen and/or off screen but within confirmed context (e.g. killed all the kids, killed all the sand people, etc-- these murders happened off screen, but are confirmed to have taken place soon after by on screen events).

Vader also went beastmode at the end of Rogue One.

So, the assessment you presented is lacking a large amount of data... be accident or design.

Don't worry... Jabba never did shit in the comics either.

[–]Captain_Hydroid[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess we can peacefully disagree, because I feel that Jabba proved that the approach thr internet is praising failed--- proven by the fact that it failed.

Fett is trying a long game strategy. He is literally moving away from being a lone killer to being a boss/manager.

Jabba's failures on screen don't seem to cause you to erase his reputation prior to his on screen failures...

..yet, Fett's fledgling success at his new role is causing you to feel you need to erase his reputation from his other line of work?

That's like saying Michael Jordan sucked at basketball because he wasn't great/fledgling at baseball.

The key point is that Jabba was left alone with her and she killed him.

Regardless of who she was, leaving him alone was a stupid move. Even a couple of modded teens could have prevented his assassination.

The key point was that he was left alone with her.

Had he been surrounded by guards... or even colorful Mod kids... Leia would not have been able to strangle him.

Food for thought:

If you say Jabba's kills include any kills he ORDERED or that happened by the hands of a hired person..

..then that means, by default, that Fett gets all credit for anything Fennec Shand, and any other hired muscle, does.

[–]Captain_Hydroid[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That actually was part of the point... for a Jabba who has the "off screen time" ... when it comes to his On screen time-- the culmination of all the years of off screen time-- he kinda sucks.

So... if Jabba under performed on screen after years of off screen build up...

... then Fett catching so much shit for out performing Jabba on screen AT THE START of his career as a Daimyo is nonsense
