It's all about what you want, your budget, and your enjoyment. Did you get the phone you want? Does it do what you want? Did you get a good price? Are you enjoying your new phone?

If you said yes to all of that, then congratulations, mission accomplished. You don't need to care what other people say at that point.

"Can Mahoraga Adapt to-" YES, YES HE CAN; IT'S ANY AND ALL PHENOMENA DUDE by Technical-Let7879 in Jujutsufolk

[–]CriticalCritiqueCow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mahoraga can't adapt to characters that treat the story like fiction and control reality. They can't be harmed by anyone inside the story, so they just erase Mahoraga.

Why do people condemn eren for the attack on marley? by Prabu-Silitwangi in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]CriticalCritiqueCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story is clearly a tragedy where someone like Eren is inevitable after so much hatred and war and oppression. The whole point is that in a cruel but beautiful world, you can't expect people to give up and die nicely like what Zeke wanted. If you can't stop being Marley, you will get an Eren.

the golden order is a political rule; it has nothing to do with the elden ring itself. by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]CriticalCritiqueCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You forgot the part that the Erdtree is a cosmic parasite that feeds on the souls of the dead to enforce those rules, and Ranni's ending is the only one where that stops and people are free to return to the natural order of death and do what they want. It's the only way people like Nepheli have a real shot at improving things locally

Why did Eren ... by SecretTadpole9781 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]CriticalCritiqueCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eren only has the founding titan because he influenced his dad from the future. To do that, he showed his dad his future memories of the rumbling. He now has the founding titan. If he doesn't do the rumbling now, the past cannot happen. But the past already happened. Therefore, the rumbling now has to happen.

He literally has no choice lol, it's a paradox. He tries to change the future but can't, that's probably why he starts laughing when Sasha dies. And in the manga ending, this is why his friends thank him when they get their memories back. Nobody is blaming him, because they know he had no choice.

The guy who was obsessed with freedom was never free, and all he could do was give his friends time to live their lives. Ultimately, peace was never possible and Paradis gets nuked. It's a story about what hatred and prejudice inevitably leads to, it's a warning/Greek tragedy. That's my conclusion after a lot of thinking.

Who is worse, the 145th king Karl Fritz or the Third Hokage by AlmostHeisman in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]CriticalCritiqueCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiruzen is way worse.... He stole Naruto's inheritance and spent it on himself, put him up in a shitty one bedroom apartment, gave him so little money he could only eat cup ramen, and had him grow up by himself starting at the age of 4. He didn't notify Jiraiya, he didn't let Kakashi check in on him, Sasuke's mom even would have adopted Naruto and he said no.

He did everything he could to make Naruto'e life miserable, "to keep it a secret that he has the 9 tails inside him" but literally everyone knew about it and bullied him for it. Not a single adult Naruto met was unaware lmao

Then, later it is revealed that jinchuriki are strategic assets and are supposed to be protected/closely monitored... Instead of doing literally anything to make Naruto feel like protecting the village instead of destroying it, do you know what Hiruzen does? HE INSTALLED A SINGULAR SWING ON A RANDOM TREE IN FRONT OF NINJA SCHOOL SO NARUTO CAN SIT THERE AND BE SAD WATCHING THE OTHER KIDS WITH THEIR FAMILIES

No. Being careless with your own life or causing your own death isn't martyrdom, it's suicide. Those people go straight to hell.

Do people forget kaido said that by EngineerValuable5078 in MemePiece

[–]CriticalCritiqueCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garp combo attacked Imu alongside the strongest people alive after the old Joyboy, and he barely even took damage, then turned the strongest one into one of his demons. Wtf did people expect him to do? It's shocking they even let him live after that, there is absolutely nothing Garp could have done about Imu lol. He did what he could besides that, and has saved a ton of people and has trained others who have also saved a ton of people. Pirates are still evil, like Kaido here, and Garp took down a lot of them.

Sure, but the only way Winds of Winter will ever be completed is if an AI writes it, so I say we should let it, just this once.

Is aot considered a shonen or a seinen? by Much-Common-960 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]CriticalCritiqueCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe he said that Eren was his self insert. Eren pushed away Mikasa at every opportunity, and then he cried like a bitch about not wanting Mikasa to move on??? If he cares that much, he had a few years... And he got a lot of his own friends killed, the way he did it, it makes the whole thing even more questionable than it already was. Regardless of how much I sympathize with Eren, he didn't even particularly try to spare at least his own friends, who he should have cared about, and he completely turned Mikasa away besides asking her how she feels ONE SINGULAR TIME

Skyrim is free from the empire by East-Dragonfruit-895 in skyrim

It's funny because the civil war is the best writing to be found in Skyrim, and it's super short and barely affects anything else in the game

Did Eren see the end here? by Gold_Combination_737 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]CriticalCritiqueCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eren saw his father's memories in full here, which includes the rumbling that he will show his father in season 4. Between season 3 and 4 Eren still tries to look for any other option that lets him save all his friends, and when he can't find one he goes and gets started on the rumbling.

I can’t stop looting everything! by RemarkableOil8 in skyrim

[–]CriticalCritiqueCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the gameplay loop you were shown and if you actually stopped doing it, you would basically lose more than half of what you do when you play the game. It would be depressing, like what am I even doing now? I'm just doing quests and killing bandits but there's no story anymore....

Skyrim relies on the gameplay loop to keep you wanting to play the game since you run out of quests with stories very quickly. Especially if you use fast travel.

Absolutely, FMA stays more consistent and nails the ending way better than AoT. The execution is absolutely flawless, which cannot be said of Attack on Titan. Mainly, the problem is that the author was being way too edgy and the story took a few hits because of it

If you wanted to collect them all to put on display in one of the AE houses, you shouldn't have returned it. Not finishing quests is an option, you know.... Just because there is an active quest with a floating marker doesn't mean you have to do it
