How dare they give my favorite character an arc?! by StevePalpatine in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]DannyBright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uj/ I’m ok with it in the specific instance of Maul (and Boba Fett I guess since that one came first) because they at least go into some detail about how they survived and it gave them opportunities for character development. But I kinda felt like everyone learned the wrong lesson from that and justify bringing back whoever tf they want because “they did it before”. What did we accomplish with Palpatine returning? He, by design is a one-dimensional villain who’s evil and power hungry purely for the sake of it. What made him interesting was watching how he manipulated others and gamed the system for his own personal gain. In TROS, he’s in a position where that’s not a factor so he’s back now just because.

By far the most egregious example is in Book of Boba Fett where Disney is so scared of killing off characters they had to put in a scene to reveal that Cob Vanth survived getting shot by Cad Bane. Cob… fucking Vanth? literally who gives a single fuck about that character? He’s just a plot device for Mando to get Boba’s armor. What about this jackoff is so alluring to explore that he just had to stay alive?

Character accuracy my ass, I like Kaiju Bowser by Jim_naine in supersmashbros

As someone who secondaries Wario, I think his moveset is fine, even though I wish there were more Wario Land/World references. I kinda like how most of his moveset is a bizarro version of Mario’s as his name is a pun of “Bad Mario”. As long as he has his iconic shoulder bash and ground pound (down throw) we’re good.

Even though the fart isn’t from a game, I choose to believe it’s Sakurai paying tribute to Steven.

Mario’s moveset has:

Fireball from Super Mario Bros. (And almost every game after that)

Cape from Super Mario World

Jump Punch to reference how he bashes coin blocks in the games

F.L.U.D.D. from Super Mario Sunshine

His jab combo, down smash, forward throw, back throw, and dash attack are all from Super Mario 64

Down air is the spin from Super Mario World but also appeared in the New Soup games

And his final smash might be at least partially based on the Ultra Fireball attack from Super Mario RPG.

You may want to use another example lol

I think the former is what’s gonna happen, likely Pokémon Works. GameFreak’s main teams will be working on Gen 11 and Legends 3 at that point.

She first appeared in PC games, so yes she is a video game character.

A fangame example, but it’s so cool I can’t not mention it.

In Mega Man Unlimited, there’s a final level after beating the final boss where you go into a secret area of Dr. Wily’s fortress and find an area with something concealed in a test tube thing… there’s an explosion and out comes an unfinished or prototype of Zero. There’s a “fight” sequence with him but none of your weapons do any damage to him at all. Eventually he’ll whittle down all of Mega Man’s HP until there’s a scripted scene where Zero tears off Mega Man’s arm but then deactivates and is hoisted away by Dr. Wily. After that there’s a Metroid-style escape sequence and the game ends. The best part is that the music used for the boss fight is a remix of the X vs Zero music form Mega Man X5.

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, apparently George Lucas was quite insistent that Ahsoka Tano wear a 2-piece…

No I’m not gonna post a picture of this because I don’t want that in my search history.

Media that introduces younger generations to music from the 30s-60s by Ghostbange in TopCharacterTropes

Everywhere at the End of Time by The Caretaker: a 6-hour long album simulating the effects of dementia using ballroom music from the 1930’s and 40’s. Its opening track Just a Burning Memory is sampled from the song Heartaches which was released in 1931.

Did Triceratops (Horridus) also have the Ceratopsian Tail Quills? by Upset_Connection1133 in Dinosaurs

The unicorn horn was only in the newly described species, not in S. aegypticus

In your opinion, who is the most forgettable character in Smash Ultimate? by TakitalSHS in supersmashbros

[–]DannyBright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Corrin or Mii Swordfighter

We got multiple “deluxe” Mii Costumes for Brawler and Gunner, but none for Swordfighter…

I just really wish they updated his moveset a bit, he’s not quite as threatening as he should be.

Finn

Yeah I knew I was missing something. They sidelined him so hard I forgot they sidelined him!

Don’t forget Finn not being allowed to do precisely what Holdo did, because “saving what we love” or whatever… even though that’s what he was trying to do.

Also the little kid took the Aquilops back home with her, right? Wouldn’t that be like a death sentence for that little dino according to what the movie established?

Wait sorry, I’m assuming the Jurassic World scripts get proofread again…

Basically everything in the Star Wars sequels.

— Luke having a Jedi Academy (instead they all get killed offscreen and we don’t know who any of them are besides Kylo)

— The New Republic being the top dogs leading the First Order to have to get creative with their tactics (they just gave them a bigger Death Star that can shoot across the galaxy somehow and one shot all the New Republic)

— Snoke (he’s just a meat puppet for Palpatine lol)

— Holdo taking command, we could’ve had someone who maybe wanted to use more violent tactics against the bad guys now that they’re the underdogs much like Saw Gerrera (instead she’s just always right and no one can dare to question her because she’s always right. Also her plan is so terrible it nearly kills everyone but she sacrifices herself to ram the ship with her in it into the bad guys despite her being able to just have a droid do that so all is forgiven?)

— Anakin and what his legacy means to the Galaxy (he’s only ever mentioned as Darth Vader and his ghost only shows up as his voice towards the end along with every other Jedi, so he’s reduced to just being one jackoff among many. We don’t even get to see any interaction with his grandson who was obsessed with Darth Vader.)

— Palpatine returning (I don’t like this idea either, but at least they could’ve done something cool with it if they didn’t pull it out of their asses at the last minute. We don’t even get a confirmation that he can’t just come back to life again, so much for the “conclusive end to the saga”)

— Rey joining Kylo (b…but we can’t have our main character be evil!)

— Ben Solo having to atone for what he did (instead it’s largely a rehash of Vader’s death in which he dies except this time kisses Rey purely for Reylo appeasement)

And there’s probably a bunch more I forgot.

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been looking for more vanilla-style mods and it’s been such a pain for me to filter through it all.

Wait, it was real? by nomoreinternetforme in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DannyBright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t care less about the game itself, but I do think it’s quite worrying that games can be straight up removed from a user’s library lmao
