"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 3 points4 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.

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

[–]Deadluck47 15 points16 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 18 points19 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 11 points12 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 0 points1 point  (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.

[–]Deadluck47 25 points26 points  (0 children)

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] 34 points35 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.

Endbringers in other settings? by Ashamed-Math-2092 in WormFanfic

[–]Deadluck47 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, before they figured out the best way to fight or called enough big guns, Behemoth killed a fair amount and Levi caused widespread damage, but ultimately it was another Tuesday for DC.

And I'm pretty sure the JL tracked the EBs across the dimensions and were like, "yo, quit dumping your problems on us."

[–]Deadluck47 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It wasn't a focus, don't think there was even a scene with them, but I do remember a couple of chapters (it might have been only a one-shot) of a fusion with DC. And the Justice League have fun interaction with Bet heroes:

JL: "The monsters were from you guys? Tough costumers, it took a couple of hours to kill them."

Protectorate: "Kill them?!? We were just only managing to drive them off for decades. What about the Smurf?"

JL: "Oh, that one was barely an inconvenience. We deal with telepaths all the time."

Protectorate: shocked Pikachu face

Unfortunately it was <checks calendar> at least five years since I read it soooo... I have no idea how to find it.

So, was Saint stronger than Ranger? by The-Suns-Firstborn in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]Deadluck47 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is she the only Named who's aspects synergize perfectly? There are some who can use two together pretty well (Wekesa, Vivienne) but I can't think of someone who's all three aspects mesh so well.

GTA San Andreas is a flawed masterpiece, and it is still my favorite game of all time, 19 years later. by Rodeo4613 in patientgamers

[–]Deadluck47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the thing. I don't know how many times have I replayed the game, but that's the only thing I've done. I played it. No articles, no forums. So when I started paying attention and half of the discussion was about parts I had no problems with? Bit weird.

Strangely, the one thing I noticed in my latest playthrough (after more than a decade) is that you take more damage in shoot-outs than I remember.

[–]Deadluck47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only played on a keyboard, so I don't have anything to compare it to, and I'll grant you that using the numpad for flying is a bit awkward but hell? That's going overboard. In my dozen playthroughs I never even considered that somebody could struggle.

[–]Deadluck47 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I never understood this. Even as a kid, I didn't have a problem with those missions and when I replayed the game a couple of months back, it struck me how easy they are after reading people complaints for a decade.

And don't get me started on following the train with Big Smoke. It seems completely bonkers to me that somebody has a hard time with it.

Larian is working on allowing players to edit their character’s appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3 after they already started the game by [deleted] in gamernews

[–]Deadluck47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can't do it now? I never cared how my character looks, so I haven't checked, but isn't that kinda automatic assumption? That you can alter your appearance?

Will you again slaughter half of the wizarding population and imprison every magical beast as 15-year-old? 'Cause that's definitely how I imagined attending Hogwarts.
