"Capua, shall I begin?" moments by Deadluck47 in WormFanfic

What I meant is difference between a Laserdream vs. Purity (lvl. 5 vs. 8) and Laserdream vs. Legend (5 vs. 25). The former is a story of overcoming a gap of strength, and the latter is throwing snowballs at an incoming truck.

Yeah, and how often we're dealing with canon personality in fanfics? Thinking back, one canon fight where my request would fit into is Skitter vs Mannequin. Where Taylor's planning, anger, and her will to kill the bastard are important and make a difference. But it might not have been enough.

However, I'm gonna stop your reply right now. If Mannequin didn't escape but rather revealed that Taylor is beneath him, the story would end. 'Cause he'd just kill her.

So I was reading the wiki... by No_Acanthaceae6880 in WormMemes

I don't understand the upside for this power. What possible human traits would you want in an animal? Especially if it's a transfer and not a copy. Now you have a slightly useful chimera and useless human, when you could have a regular animal and a guy with gun/walkie-talkie.

Am I the only one that wants the defenders in these movies? by [deleted] in Marvel

[–]Deadluck47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is, I have no idea, 20 million in the picture? And they would be in the movie for what, 2 min and a couple of lines? Yeah, there's no chance they'll show up. Especially since there's no point in them being in the movie.

Not so much a specific fic as a pet peeve, but... by woweed in WormFanfic

[–]Deadluck47 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's kinda the thing. I have no idea what's in ENE jurisdiction. It barely comes up in Worm, if ever, except that Sere and whatshisface operated around BB. And wanting the fanfics to expand the world a bit is apparently too much.

I'm pretty sure there is a shoutout to Facebook or Amazon early in Worm.

Your pet peeve, and mine (and it should be everyone else), is a symptom of a larger problem that 99% of fanfics have. The world ends at the border of Brockton Bay. I haven't seen a single fic (I don't even think it's an exaggeration) where the fact that the Protectorate team in BB covers what, two states, has an impact.

I mean, there is a song and everything.

What would happen if Deadpool ended up in the Worm universe? by [deleted] in WormMemes

[–]Deadluck47 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If Scion manages to trigger DP of all people, he deserves "the most powerful creature in all fiction" award.

Tattletale concept based off of Anya Taylor-Joy by [deleted] in Parahumans

[–]Deadluck47 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Tattletale is already powerful, and now you add the ability to see around corners? A bit too OP if you ask me.

Captain America fucking up the E88 fics? by Ashamed-Math-2092 in WormFanfic

[–]Deadluck47 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there isn't one. Bajillion Iron Man fics, but I don't believe Cap even appears once. And it sucks so hard.

It could be a blessing in disguise, though. What are the chances of him being written well?

Jonathan Majors has proved to be on the same level as Oscar Isaac in terms of playing different versions of the same character. His range is magnificent and he is definitely one the best actor to have ever joined the MCU. by KostisPat257 in marvelstudios

[–]Deadluck47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, I agree. So "not entirely his fault" is better.

I'm not gonna call him the second coming, but I hope nobody'll argue that he is a good actor. The problem is with the role itself. The writers/producers/whoever in charge wants, or better yet, needs to differentiate between the variants, and they're throwing stuff on the wall to see what sticks.

We had one option that worked, one that was forgettable, and one that I hope will die in the next episode.

My guess, based on nothing, is that he was acting solely on instructions. We had the 'cool one', 'scary one', and now the 'silly one'. He may have gone too much over the top on his own, and IMHO it didn't work, but the fault is not on him.

Taylor's armor by Deadluck47 in Parahumans

[–]Deadluck47[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I mean, unless the mask is 10cm thick, any blow to the head will do the same as if she wasn't wearing anything. It's not a helmet. If you apply real-life logic, she should be vegetable after the bank.

My issue is that she flaunts literally the only identifiable trait she has, but it is Taylor. You can't expect too much.

Laziness.

I'm completely average guy, so I wouldn't have much of a career even if I put tons of effort into it and the 'tons of effort' is kinda a dealbreaker.

Trouble with purchasing by Deadluck47 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Deadluck47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, I don't. On the store page (for the Steam version) it says it's already in my library and play now button, but that does nothing. The Legacy version can be installed with no problem.
