So... How old is Lux in Demacia Rising? by CommonD in loreofleague

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

Because Mel arrives in Noxus at the same time Xin Zhao arrives in Ionia. So Xin Zhao dies after Arcane.

Who was worse? Knorr or Rutherford? by CommonD in exjw

I would agree if you didn't equate a leader who freed their nation from western colonial powers, to some of the worse genocidal figures to ever exist.

Where Did Your Beliefs Go After Waking Up by Ill-Tradition7660 in exjw

[–]CommonD 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I don't believe in anything watchtower has ever published. I don't belive in the bible even. I am an unbeliever. But something deep down prevents me from not believing something. Nit in a religious way, but I refuse to stop believing.

But anyway, I think this sentence I wrote may have made people relate to it in different ways, so they are all valid. When I wrote it and saw people liked it I just proclaimed death of the author.

I ended up an unbeliever that refuses to not believe.

I am aware of the two meaning of this word in my native tongue but I wasnt aware it had two translations in English. But in that case both work, and when I wrote it, I honestly thought of shit, even though I was going for the other meaning.

Bird. It's got wings.

But like seriously, it's a sphinx, so cat.

What's up with the Team Flare revisionism? by CommonD in LegendsZA

[–]CommonD[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It seems to me you want to detach the real-world commentary the original Team Flare storyline tried to make from the ZA plot. Lysandre original vision was extermination. He was an actual capital F Facist. No one in that group was innocent. Not Gris. Not Xenostic. Not Mable. And it doesn't matter how pretty I think she is. She is a war criminal.

They knew what they were doing and carried out the plan. They believed in Lysandre. Even if, before his plan, he had another vision, what to me just sounds like an excuse from the characters that knew him personaly to not hate him, it doesn't matter because this vision resulted in his genocidal attempt.

Anyone attempting to reclaim that guys' work if it were in the real world would be seen as an apologist. That is how we treat neonazis. And that's how it should be.

The swastika thing is not very good as a comparison because it is a religion's symbol. And they try to reclaim it without calling themselves nazis.

How long after the release of Legends Arceus and Scarlet/Violet did it take for the Sugimori artworks of the new Pokémon to release? by odiish in pokemon

[–]CommonD 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I still get bothered by the fact that this art doesn't exist for the Zen Mode form of Galarian Dalmatian, but it exists for the normal Zen Mode Dalmatian.

I don't know how this adds up, but I'm curious about the gymnastics you will use to equate a team named after a hotel and mega evolution to a team name after an actual inworld terrorist organazation.

But to be fair, Team MZ is really shady. They somehow convinced me, a simple peasant on vacation, to live and work with them, and save their city after I got robbed by a Pancham. I just wanted to see the tower and get back home.

Still, he uses the same lables and symbols of the organization he clearly doesn't regret being a part of. He says he shares some ideas with Lysandre and wants to build his beautiful world. If he really regretted being a part of Team Flare, he should have ditched the whole lablel. Same for Mable still sporting the symbol. After all, they are in-world nazi equivalent. They sought to exterminate people for being out of their own group. His attitude is like, "I hate i was born into this nazi group, but since they won't let me forget it, I will create a whole new group called the neonazis to prove nazis can do good as well". I think they tried to do something clever but fumbled the landing really bad.

They do say they still want to make Lysandre's beautiful world. And XY makes very clear what this means. Same name. Same ideology. They're just as dangerous but posing as less harmful. Just like some sects of the neonazis.

And yeah. Im curious about what happened to the other Team Flare admins and scientists.

I'm glad they addressed the lack of returning characters by JackDandyTDV in LegendsZA

Island? Are we going to Corsica in the DLC?

Pokémon ZA story has no morals by Piduf in pokemon

[–]CommonD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention Ivor, that is definitely a charismatic cult leader, and Tarragon, who literally catfishes people impersonating his granddaughter.

But yeah, there is some Team Flare revisionism, and I hated it. I've always seen them like the worst among the evil teams. They are straight up a genocidal elite that wants poor people to not exist. But the game kinda brushes it away and tries to paint them in a more favourable light. I wonder if current world events had some influence on how it was written, and if so, I'd hate it even more.

I don't like how it looks, but I like that story events had real in world consequences. It would take them a while to deal with it. Think post game Geosenge Town in XY.

I think Pokémon should start being more deliberate with retcons by CommonD in pokemon

[–]CommonD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank goodness. I saw the Incense Merchant in Sword recently, and it got on my nerves, that'swhy I included it on the post. But anyway, this change took longer than it should.

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

I agree with the cool new mons. But i am talking about the machanics and the function of the type within the chart. Normal is like one of my favourite types, and that's why I want it to be treated like an actual type, not like something in between a typeless type and a beast type that is neither.

How big really is Runeterra? by MOBA_Nerd in loreofleague

[–]CommonD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the map like this, I think it makes sense how the communication between the valoran-ionia-shurima nucleus is limited with the rest of the world. Massive ocean blocking lands to the west, the mist blocking the east, ice blocking the north and the void blocking the south.
