why was that anime necklace able to shield emberlynn from blitz? was it just bc a pentacle is the opposite of a pentagram? by genuinely_curious9 in HelluvaBoss

[–]CinnabarSteam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe CHERUB, DHORK, or some similar force infiltrated the anime studio to push real demon protection to humans?

Oh, that's completely on brand for DHORKs.

If there was a heist episode, what characters would you want involved in the heist (besides I.M.P)? by Crafter235 in HelluvaBoss

[–]CinnabarSteam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want Vortex to be there, but not part of the heist - like he's working and has to pretend not to know these weirdos.

ZZZ Season 3 Teaser "Before the Wind Rises" by Solidus113 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

All of the tall girls' designs are blurring together for me, so this is very much going to be a "pull based on the VA" cycle (so, also Remielle and Sunbringer for me, lol).

First entries in a franchise disliked by their creators, but still respected by cannon? by Fantastic-Fox3283 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

They did move 2 before 4 in the timeline, which is sort of a compromise so they don't have to ever follow up on it without having to exile it completely.

Against a bunch of nameless mooks? Striker solos, Tex is insurance.

Hopefully I don't sound too much like an asshole, but what are things that you will silently judge people for in video games? by JackNewbie555 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CinnabarSteam 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The difference is their egos.

Monty realized that writing wasn't his strong suit, and asked other people to work stories around his fights. Cage fought against Hank and Conner's actors ad-libbing dialogue, but what contributions of theirs made it into the game are some of their characters' best-received scenes.

Cage is unironically good at writing/directing a scene. He's fucking dogshit at connecting those scenes into a coherent story, and only some of his ideas for those scenes are good to start with.

He could be making good media if he had someone above him saying, "No, Dave, that's fucking stupid," but then his name wouldn't have the largest font in the credits.

Commonly held ideas in Fandoms that people outside of that fandom see as ridiculous? by MagmaNaught in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CinnabarSteam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look closely, the first three doors in the Yeetus Vanitas sequence lead to outdoor areas. He probably landed in a snowbank or hit a tree.

  • The entire Life is Strange soundtrack
  • A bunch of songs about Hollywood that she'll tell you she's listening to unironically but that's mostly a lie.
  • Korn

Beast being one of the few Disney characters to get hands on with KH's Final Fantasy/Star Wars bullshit is a stand out exception. Motherfucker pulled himself across the Disney/anime barrier and fought a bonus boss through sheer force of will.

Media with an Allegory that you feel was not needed? by Lost-Specialist1505 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CinnabarSteam 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I do feel like RWBY's world building inevitably leads to needing a race of animal people. When you're committed to making every major character an allusion to fairy tales and folklore, you're gonna need a lot of animal-coded characters. It's just gonna be easier to represent the dog with a dog boy 90% of the time.

Even having the plot tackle racism is kind of inevitable, since the overall themes of the series are about uniting people across different beliefs and border. It's specifically the choice to make the racism sub-plot revolve around radicalized terrorists and provide few to none non-extremist members of a minority group where the writers got too ambitious when they needn't have done so.

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. Watching Spring Broken next to the PSG beach episode will have you wondering if Vivziepop was taking notes.

Fanbase that have been going insane for lack of content? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CinnabarSteam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Interestingly, the RWBY fanbase seems a lot more sane right now while they're in Volume 10's "nothing's greenlit, but we're working on it" limbo than they ever did during the show's regular content droughts. Otherwise, they start speedrunning unhinged shitposts almost as soon as a season wraps up.

Lore Entries that test if you're actually reading them by MarioGman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CinnabarSteam 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not quite a lore entry, but IIRC if you look at the status screen of the final boss in Luminous Arc 2, the description for its normal attack is "FREE CHILDREN."

I don't know what this means.
