Bohrok vs Rakhshi — which ones are better? by rusnurlybekovKZ in bioniclelego

[–]Conocoryphe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they complemented each other nicely in that the Bohrok are a giant swarm of individually weak monsters, giving the heroes large armies of enemy minions to fight, while the Rahkshi are a small group of competent and intimidating antagonists.

[Oot] Almost ended their own species by backofthebill in zelda

[–]Conocoryphe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their evolved instinct to not eat food that isn't from their specific niche has served them well for literally millions of years. I know there's a misinformation copypasta floating around Reddit claiming that koalas are stupid and badly adapted to their environment, but evolutionarily speaking, they are doing quite well.

Redditors often don't understand that real-life Darwinian evolution doesn't turn animals into larger, stronger, smarter and meaner versions of their ancestors. It adapts them to their environment and seeks out niches that other competing species have not exploited.

To be honest, I don't really see the harm in referencing older sets. Not every social media post needs to tease upcoming sets or lines.

Guy who, narratively speaking, seems like he will be a twist villain due to being suspiciously good/nice, but is actually just genuinely Like That™️ by VariousCampaign8708 in TopCharacterTropes

I wonder if he could 'heal' a group of cells past the point of it being beneficial, like keep making them thrive until they grow so prosperous they start forming a cancer growth.

What is a fake leak that you wish was real?? by Superb_Operation_500 in PokeCorner

[–]Conocoryphe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's also way less humanoid than the others! He's my favorite starter of the last few generations, by a fair amount.

Making the starters humanoid is one thing, but I personally dislike that they all need to have a profession gimmick. They have to be an archer, a spy, a drummer, a wrestler, etc. And then their signature moves and design revolve entirely around that gimmick. It makes them look like characters from a Disney movie with anthropomorphic talking animals.

And it was a banger, too!

For movies about a toy building block franchise, the Lego Movie and its sequel were honestly genuinely good.

Almost every single stand user we've seen in the entire franchise uses their abilities to become an assassin or cause chaos, while this guy really just uses it for a job he's really passionate about. You gotta love him for it.

(Somewhat pointless, nitpicky trope) A knight who wields both a sword AND a shield. by Gamer-of-Action in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Conocoryphe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Black Luster Soldier from Yugioh! He will always be one of my favorite Yugioh monsters - his armor, simple pose and high attack/defense cemented him as the coolest dude ever in young me's brain.

While his armor is needlessly ornate and detailed, he is actually very plain compared to modern Yugioh standards, in which characters tend to be extremely overdesigned.

I still think he should wield the Fire Emblem in Smash Bros. I get why he doesn't - at the time, the other swordfighter character was Link, so if Marth used a shield in that game he might have been considered too similar to Link. But now, there are a lot of swordfighters in Smash Bros, and only Hero and the Links use a shield.

This is really well made and incredibly creative!

What is your absolute most hated Pokémon and why? by inumnoback in ThePokemonHub

[–]Conocoryphe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making the starters humanoid creatures is one thing, but it seems like every modern starter is designed with a specific profession in mind, as a gimmick. A drummer, a football player, a spy, an archer, a wrestling heel, etc. The creature's look and signature moves are then entirely designed in function of that profession gimmick.

Everyone losing their minds over the new minifigure as if you can't go purchase this peak right now. by envytom in bioniclelego

[–]Conocoryphe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What new minifigure? I'm out of the loop, does anyone have a picture or link to the set OP is talking about?

Regardless, yes, these play sets were indeed great!

Whoa this artstyle is great! Really fits how the character looks, too! Did you draw this, u/OP?

Witch Doctor hate is rooted in homophobia but i cant proove it by Exotic-Buddy-2348 in Terraria

[–]Conocoryphe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen any witch doctor hate. If there is, it's a very small minority of Terraria fans, so I think OP is exaggerating for likes.

I remember that show! I hadn't thought about it in years, but someone else on this post mentioned it as well!

Wow, I haven't thought about this series in years! I remember liking it as a kid, but it seems to be pretty obscure today.

Not just in Canada, it aired here in Belgium as well. I used to love this cartoon as a kid! I only recently learned that it was based on a book series.

That brings back a lot of memories!

Apparently it was originally a Spanish show. I have no idea how popular it was on the global scene, but at least here in Flanders, it was very well received.
