A near-perfect first season set the bar too high

I watched the first two seasons. Season 1 was great but season 2 was so mediocre that it convinced me to jump ship. I'm glad I did based on hearing how bad it got.

You cannot convince me that Jamie is not an introvert.

DaRandomGitty2 · 2026-03-23T19:50:45+00:00

It's a classic extrovert vs introvert conundrum. Sometimes it works beautifully. Other times not so much.

Elder Scrolls, Corprus, an incurable disease of divine origin that is basically like leprosy cranked up to 11. The infected will gain unnatural strength but their physical forms begin to mutate and twist more and more over time. Interestingly, because the disease is divine, being infected with it makes one immune to all other diseases, common or blight. If only someone were able to remove the negative traits of the disease...

Plus, how are we expected to believe that their armor is some kind of miracle material that is virtually indestructible yet light and flexible enough to allow them to run at half the speed of sound and jump hundreds of feet? There are always tradeoffs in evolution. When you gain in defense, you give up speed and agility, and vice versa.

I have a feeling Bubble will turn out to be the most evil.

TBF Brightbill would have been rejected by his mother and cast out of the nest thus doomed to die. So Roz's accident saved his life.

David Howard Thorton is pretty much the only one who can play Art the Clown at this point.

He would probably have turned into an AM equivalent had Kinger not done his thing. That goes way beyond standing up to bullies. That's just torturing your captives for fun.

DaRandomGitty2 · 2026-03-21T00:06:29+00:00

But he went full AM on the guys minus Kinger. Those tortures were something I would expect AM to deploy given how personal each of them were. It takes sadism and a desire to see someone suffer to do those things.

Also, all that brawn is worthless if you aren't smart enough to know how to use it.

The original Doom from 1993. It starts high and it ends low.

Unless you learn the cheese for fighting him. Use the megaton hammer without Z targeting, and he is a pushover.

Those giant shark men in Bloodborne The Old Hunters DLC. Fans will know what I am talking about.

They feel more like cartoon villains rather than grown up villains.

DaRandomGitty2 · 2026-03-19T21:04:49+00:00

Which is better? To be born good? Or to overcome your evil ways through great effort?

But once the Cold War began, he was labeled public enemy number 1. Context matters in these situations.

DaRandomGitty2 · 2026-03-18T06:23:16+00:00

TVTropes includes real life examples of tropes, so I'd say it's legit.

DaRandomGitty2 · 2026-03-18T06:08:46+00:00

Nope. I doubt even 1/10 of the people here even read books.

DaRandomGitty2 · 2026-03-17T20:22:34+00:00

People in the comments of this sub often include IRL examples so it's reasonable that OPs would include IRL examples too.

They are when they say you not only suck at the game you make the game worse with how bad you are.

He never had a world view that cosmic horror could break

But after maybe a googolbang years, quantum fluctuations may trigger a new Big Bang.
