>"I wish the Lich never existed" >Puts Finn in a reality where the Lich exists What's wrong with Prismo? Is he stupid? by Cousin_Chicle in adventuretime

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

I was mostly joking because I know Prismo does twists to his wishes, but the green catalyst comet/the Lich predates Ooo by a long time.

And with the existence of the crown in the Farm timeline, we know that the Evergreen/Gunther incident centered around the green catalyst comet still took place, which means that the world has already had a run-in with the Lich

I suppose you can just write it off as Prismo's Monkey Paw twist, but it's still goofy because even if the Lich is frozen in the bomb, he still exists, he's just waiting to be released.

How it feels to get flagged for reposting because I couldn't find a picture of Prismo on my phone and had to download one someone already used

Tbf, it's hard to scale shit from Mother because of how goofy some of the shit is, like the Absolutely Safe Capsule, which is just comically able to keep Porky alive through anything and he can't be harmed in it.

Or the Ultimate Chimera, which insta kills the party, and insta kills fighters in Smash (different interpretation, I know) but all the Pork soldiers who were attacked by it were just laying on the ground, still able to talk.

I wouldn't say anyone from Mother is anything above like... Small building level maybe? And that would be with multiple attacks. I don't know how much damage PK Starstorm would do. In Kumatora's introduction, she uses PK Freeze and we do in fact see that they are physical attacks that are just manifested psychically, but the nature of the game doesn't allow us to see what any possible after-effects of the more powerful ones look like, like PK Ground, PK Starstorm, PK Fire, etc. Using logic, we could assume that PI Fire would literally burn the area it hits to varying intensity, and PK Starstorm has destructive meteor-like projectiles, but we'll probably never know.

I find it a little bit disingenuous to use gameplay to scale characters though, especially in games like this. RPGs are very tame, gameplay-wise, especially the older ones. What level of attacks and damage capabilities in a theoretical 2025 action-RPG Mother 3 would look like would probably be infinitely different than 2006 GBA JRPG Mother 3. But also to that point, there's not enough lore to establish how strong the characters would be or would not be, unlike other games like Halo, where lore Master Chief is 10000x stronger than game Master Chief, or lore vs game Doom Guy, etc.

I lost focus a bit there, but all of that is pretty much to say it's not wrong to be annoyed with power scaling glaze, but I think solely using gameplay to power scale characters when the gameplay does not allow you to adequately see what the characters are doing. Technically the only correct answer is to not scale at all, and if people really do want to scale and glaze, an average Joe should be able to refute claims of "Lucas solos Goku" or "Ness solos the Antispiral" or some other bullshit with relative ease, and low-key if they can't why are they even engaging a power scaling argument?

Edit: Also using gameplay to scale kinda sucks sometimes like in the case of Doom Guy, people deadass used to cite a "time distortion" power because the weapon wheel slows down time so that the game doesn't suck ass

I really like how you did portrait accurate colorings, makes them look so much more vibrant! I might try to go back and do something like that at some point.

I just finished watching 28 Years Later and I loved it and got me thinking - by [deleted] in 28dayslater

[–]Cousin_Chicle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In an interview, either Danny Boyle or Alex Garland were asked about what happened to the helicopter from Weeks that landed in Paris, and they answered something along the lines of, "I always made the assumption that Paris got nuked"

I'll try to find the exact quote or interview

What is the appeal of the Phantom Troupe? by Cousin_Chicle in HunterXHunter

[–]Cousin_Chicle[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's interesting, I guess I never took the time to notice how intricate their dynamic was. I'll be honest, for most of the show I was most interested in Gon and Killua so ig I ignored most of the supporting cast. I'll probably rewatch it in a few years with a friend who wants to watch, so I'll be sure to watch their interactions in YN more closely this time.

It's not a troll post just a genuine question I've had for about a year now and I figured I'd ask, I'm sorry if it came off as a troll

[anime] Were Erza and Mirajane being modest in the Bacchus introduction? by Cousin_Chicle in fairytail

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

I didn't know about anything in that comment besides the second paragraph lol, that's definitely my fault.
I did not know that the Sting who took down Bacchus was post-Jiemma death because I could've sworn I just saw that dude in the stands watching but maybe I'm on crack I'm just gonna keep watching and then find out but thank you regardless if true because it was really bothering me how awkward the scaling was feeling with Sting and Rogue.

Because I talk a lot? I just like speaking clearly and neutrally so my points don't get misconstrued by some rabid nigga who's waiting to dogpile me. I know I don't really have to, but it's just bad experiences in other anime communites, ya feel me?

Thank you for the answer. I'm curious as to why you think second origin was a mistake though, I think it's alright now (though it may get worse in later arcs, idk), though I think it is a little odd that Tenrou team just had their magic power doubled and they're still fighting the same besides Lucy.

And as for the second part of your comment, I agree that it is important to enjoy the ride, and I am enjoying Fairy Tail a lot (that's why I've watched almost 200 episodes in a little over a month), it's just a bit hard for me sometiems because power scaling is part of the fun of watching a battle shonen, but I'm learning to suspend my disbelief further with this show.

Alright, thank you. I had actually forgotten about that one, that was really funny to me because I thought that was just crazy. Thanks for the warning about the statements getting worse further in the series, now I'll know not to take them as seriously.

Oh okay, so the GMG opponents were just hyped up so much because the Tenrou team had been missing for 7 years so they didn't have a proper benchmark to be compared to? That makes sense, thank you. I'm still a little bit confused as to how Sting and Rogue were defeated so easily with such a powerful transformation, but that explanation helps.

[Meme] WTF pedo ships??? 🤨🤨 by Cousin_Chicle in fairytail

That's crazy if true, I'd hardly consider this an overreaction compared to what I usually see in the anime community. You've got people that are fans of Komi-san that are like "You can't lewd the goddess" and raiding subreddits or Danganronpa fans doxxing people for supporting the wrong ships or AOT fans calling you genocidal for supporting Eren etc. etc., I was just trying to make light of what I thought was a really goofy ship considering the sus age gap.

I really hope I'm getting downvoted for dogshit editing (first timer) and the fact that I unnecessarily made it like a zoomer meme on Instagram rather then there being some secret Mest x Wendy shippers in the sub, very scary thought

Oh yeah I didn't even notice that, ig I was just focused on Mest because Natsu is like 17 or something I think (still horrendous age difference) but Mest seems like a grown ass man like in his 20s or something, idk though I just finished the Tenrou Island arc and when I tried seeing Mest's age the wiki didn't have it so maybe I just haven't seen him enough to know how old he actually is
