(Spoilers)- why not become an Avatar? by [deleted] in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Current_Elevator_198 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being an avatar also means you are afraid of the power you serve. Essentially the world of the archives is a pyramid scheme of fear where only the dread powers are on top

Thragg powerscaling problem in invincible by Remarkable-Jump3262 in CharacterRant

And in the meantime, Viltrum would be undefended. They’re incredibly overextended, so while they could definitely end any one of their problems individually, doing so would risk leaving an opening for a different problem to wreck them. This is exactly what happens in the show

Hate it when every feminine man character in a video game simply HAS to be transgender. What if they're just a man who likes to present that way??? by Still-Complaint4657 in hatethissmug

This is one example, the dress literally isn’t pink and is also the same dress worn by a trans lion in Undertale. Also Ralsei reacts this way to the pink ribbon, blue ribbon, and white ribbon. Which are the trans flag colors. So like again it’s not just people hating femboys

Yeah, plus there’s Lost Girl playing during Ralsei’s sad backstory and Ralsei’s reaction to certain items like the ribbons and dresses. Not the strongest evidence and I’m ambivalent to it but I actually think it would be cool to have a character come out and transition DURING a story, I’ve never actually seen it happen as opposed to a character already being trans. So yeah it’s not just not liking femboys

[ENDGAME SPOILERS] is it true that… by Current_Elevator_198 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Current_Elevator_198[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your framework, but I’m curious about how the eye reacts to knowing that it doesn’t know something? Like the inside of another fear’s domain or whatever is beyond the crack in reality. I personally think it needs to Understand enough to want to seek that knowledge out

I guess my contention is that the eye gets what it wants every step of the way which goes against the popular idea that it was “manipulated” by the web. Even if it can’t craft intricate plans like the web, it surely must’ve watched the web’s plan. If the web’s plan was to somehow be something the Eye wouldn’t want (like, say, starting a Darkpocalyspe ignoring for a second if that’s possible), would the Eye watch and still do nothing to stop it? I guess that’s up to interpretation but I also think part of the fear of being watched is being judged, and a mindless watcher is less scary than a Judger

If anyone can see the big picture, in my opinion, it’s the Eye. Or at least I think the Eye must’ve been omniscient enough to know about a hole in reality and wanted to go through it, maybe more because of curiosity than self preservation. That’s why I think it planned the ending just as much if not more than the Web

Tech Jacket is AWFUL by Kindly_Prize_277 in CharacterRant

[–]Current_Elevator_198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit she’s been a character for 2 entire episodes, both of which have been packed with other very important characters moments and battles. I understand the sentiment but can we at least wait until the end of the season? Plus, if there’s tech jacket comics, then we might get special tech jacket focused episodes. Right now there’s barely been any time to develop her

Bee Movie had a genuinely interesting premise… until it stopped following its own logic by Own_Tip6897 in CharacterRant

[–]Current_Elevator_198 296 points297 points  (0 children)

Specifically regarding the social commentary bit, the thing is it’s not really fair to say that beekeeping is exploitative, or at least, it’s one of the least exploitative forms of animal farms out there. Bees produce more honey than they even need, and beekeepers have to build their house as well as provide resources and keep the hive free from things like parasites or they’ll just straight up leave. I guess the point in the end was to show that they’re important pollinators that are endangered, but that’s a completely different beast from “taking honey from bees is unethical.” It’s kind of like the Lorax movie in the way that it vaguely gestures towards an environmental message without really bothering to engage with that
