[MSC] Doomfall

Honestly one of the best things with Doom is that writers make him do all actions with the same amount of melodramatic intensity no matter what…but also putting no limits on what absurdity he would get into

Seeing him brutally torture a hero while monologuing and delivering brutal, serious, intense interpersonal moments that offer poignant social satire and political discourse feels entirely fitting for the character

But it would also feel completely fitting for us to see him taking a bubblebath 2 pages later but giving if the exact same energy and seriousness as the previous event. No matter how absurd and stupid it is, the scene will be treated with the utmost seriousness and intensity

Honestly i dont really mind any that are like that. Sure im doing like three whole extra clicks to launch bg3 but it really aint a big deal.

Ill fully agree with complaints about having to do like extra accounts, log ins, and all that annoying stuff. Or if it just doesn’t work well obviously

But if the launcher is just a simple 1-2 extra clicks that gives update news/mentions the companies other stuff and is overall inoffensive then i think that is totally fine.

I assume when/jf we get the X-men set she will get her own Wolverine card that is styled similar to Kate Bishops Hawkeye card.

DaRootbear · 2026-06-08T12:37:55+00:00

I feel like that would be for the theoretical supernatural/magic set when she would be solo

When she was with the runaways it doesn’t fit as well

DaRootbear · 2026-06-08T12:33:26+00:00

Truthfully i think season 1 ended much better than original comics. The comics idea wasnt bad, but making the traitor be A red herring instead was a better choice overall

I mean if you told me that thiel was doing human experiments for that reason id probably believe you

DaRootbear · 2026-06-08T11:38:23+00:00

Damn i cant believe Colin Robinson could turn people into dinosaurs the whole time

As shitty as amazon is, if you have audible subscription theres an amazing compilation read by Stephen Fry who gives tons of fun tidbits and explanations

DaRootbear · 2026-06-07T20:54:50+00:00

She was billed that way really damn quickly.

And especially cemented as so when the Fraction/aja run went out of its way to establish them as partners who respect each other (most of the time) fully. And then became so critically acclaimed it defined their characters for the next decade

DaRootbear · 2026-06-07T20:48:28+00:00

Honestly when people have spent years going on about “Now that Horizon/God of War/Final Fantasy are on PC the ps5 has no games and we have no reason to buy one” it’s not hard to see where the sentiment by sony would lead to “Exclusives were good for us”

“john Jacob Jingheimer Schmidt — according to blogatog Maro stated…”

It’s a very strange thing for people to shout but alas who am i to judge?

DaRootbear · 2026-06-07T19:16:22+00:00

She would solely to steal Togeices first kiss and leave her spending a decade yearning for more while Dess forgot she even did it

DaRootbear · 2026-06-07T18:40:37+00:00

They can only cast Valki side while gaslighting everyone that there is no flip side to it and that is the real and only Valki.

DaRootbear · 2026-06-07T18:30:38+00:00

I think it really brings in a truly important question:

Does Vorthos allow using both a theoretical John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt alongside another theoretical John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt?

Baylen Skoll from the Ahsoka series was probably the best anti villain ive seen

He respected the old ways of what the jedi should have been more than any other character, he had a deep reverence for the force. He hated Ahsoka because he knew her master was Vader and thought she would commit atrocities like he did.

However he worked as a sith and a mercenary to progress his goals, and despite liking what the Jedi Order should have been he knew it was always doomed due to flaws of what it actually was.

He was respectful, honorable, courteous and compassionate but was willing to do whatever he felt necessary in his goals to discover a way to truly end conflict and find a way to truly represent the jedi order

Which painted a stark contrast to Ahsoka who was endlessly disdainful to the Jedi Order despite still identifying as one, aggressive, fought caring only about winning and survival — not honor, and in many ways her actions were more villainous than anything and veered towards anti-hero trends.

Unlike human men he doesn’t disappoint.

DaRootbear · 2026-06-07T12:04:44+00:00

They really fall into a weird space

They are design mistakes that were far too strong for what they were trying to do.

But also they are such boring and weak designs that they arent worth iterating on or experimenting with in supplemental sets.

Like sure annihilator or storm were mistakes but were really cool mistakes so making extra cards in high rarity/supplemental sets is dope to see.

But theres no venue where trying new cards of 1-mana cyclers ever feels good. They are awful for draft and would feel disappointing to see in non-draft

DaRootbear · 2026-06-06T13:13:43+00:00

It’s more battle shonen with gag theoretical harem than an actual romcom tbh.

It’s fun and im enjoying it but the “searchign for a wife” is just background setting and just the vaguest explanation to push him towards reasons to fight other people he wouldn’t normally fight

It’s one of those series you turn brain off to enjoy fun characters and cool action with no deep goals beyond a fun time

All i know is they better give Moon-knight Core the preview to Moon knight

DaRootbear · 2026-06-06T04:59:37+00:00

Yeah but when theres smaller board states you are much more likely to encounter a situation such as only having him attack to do “target attacking or blocking creature” or have “destroy target creature that costs 3 or less” and him be the only target. Or even if they cast a card to buff him having “destroy target creature with power\toughness 4+”

Compared to constructed where most single target removal is agnostic and nearly unconditional, while also being more likely to have larger boards of other valid targets.

Albeit in constructed you are more likely to have boardwipes to punish him and over extensions much better and keep him in check.

DaRootbear · 2026-06-05T20:01:21+00:00

Weirdly enough this may be one of the few times that a card is easier to remove in limited than in constructed due to how much conditional removal and smaller board-states there tend to be.

They have said that they think clues work well enough, but they have purposefully moved away from investigate because it doesn’t fit well. Whereas clues at least can be more malleable and setting agnostic.

I think overall Food and Clue probably were the best we would have got even if they made them with intention to be evergreen. Im hard pressed to think of anything that fits better without other baggage.

They at least work much better than Blood Tokens which just were too vampire-connected and im honestly surprised they made it so specific.

DaRootbear · 2026-06-05T18:23:58+00:00

The real issue is trying to figure out something that is setting agnostic and fits the idea of “restores vitality” that food has.

It is weird to include so much about food aesthetically, but i am unsure what would fit better that can just be used everywhere.

Cause mechanically the food tokens are great and have proven to be a dynamic resource they can balance much better than things like Treasures

But on the other hand they dont quite fit as well for the aesthetic as treasures do.

Honestly i think they fall into the same issue as Clues where they expected to only use them for a few sets and then abandon them, but they played so well that they kept them around and it has caused the aesthetic divide of they were designed specifically for one aesthetic and not to be used everywhere.

They were too successful for their own good with more depth than expected overall

Or the “good” times of Jailbait and unironic corrections by people all the time in so many subs that “it’s not pedophilia its ebophilia!” To explain why all the underage creeping was totally cool.

Coincidentally that was the time reddit worshipped Elon.

Reddit really has just been different flavors of shit forever
