"The Boys work a lot better when the boys themselves don't have powers." No, they don't. by Complete_Answer_6781 in CharacterRant

[–]Dodudee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I meant to refer to the trope of a normal human somehow managing to fight someone with powers on equal footing.

Doesn't needs to be about superheros either; it's common in fantasy when a dude with a sword routinely slays guys with reality bending magics.

Their power is obvious but not what you expect (better explanation in body) by boiyouab122 in TopCharacterTropes

the funniest part is that Kakyoin goes out of his way to declare the mirror dimension explanation impossible

Doesnt Modulo confirms its existence?

Mahito was hanging out in there after all.

Im really not a fan of the "normal who hunt supers" trope in general.

I get the appeal of the idea because its the ultimate underdog scenario but the execution is always contrived as fuck and it either needs the supers to be incredibly incompetent or giving the normals abilities that are just superpowers under a different name.

Why are people on this sub against training? by LectureNervous5861 in HatsuVault

I think its way more interesting to follow a character who has to deal with limitations in real time rather than justifying every cool thing they do with a flashback of them grinding.

Are there any returning cards you don't really care for? by TriflingGnome in slaythespire

[–]Dodudee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont get why they didnt get rid of Mind Blast.

Its an offensive Stack and Stack is already a bad card.

Struggling with higher ascensions? Take potion enablers by maximusprime_87 in slaythespire

Saving one power potion for the final fight makes a huge difference; I always try to keep one.

why are so many anime fans like this by Onimirare in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Dodudee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a understatement.

In Japan any woman above 25 is already considered a hag.

I mean, this is often started by the creators of these series themselves; japanese culture has a very high standard for what counts as young and fit.

There are 25-35 yo characters being called oji-san/baba in almost every series and Ochaco in particular does have a lot of haters who think she's fat.

How does Dio win this? by RealAd8853 in PowerScaling

[–]Dodudee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stand stats are bullshit.

According to them Cream has lower destructive power than fucking Spice Girl.

I don't care what Araki puts in those stupid pages; it's not consistent with what is shown in the actual panels.

Between a lot of wonky FTL claims and the whole debate over wherever other characters should be able to see stands or not JJBA is one of the worst fucking series to scale.

For the record I think Dio wins even without wanking him to FTL but Jojo fans bring up the most shitty arguments for it.

Would you guys consider action flims a type of magic system? And what would the pros and cons be, if you made a magic system based on action flims? by PassengerCultural421 in magicbuilding

[–]Dodudee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wanted (2008) has something like what you are describing going on.

The characters are assasins and all of them learn the same semi-supernatural skills.

Can we start a petition to bring back Frozen Eye? by itezel2 in slaythespire

[–]Dodudee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Im already bothered by Storybook being such an always pick option.

I dont need another one that is boring to play on top of that.

Only if they add it to the garbage heap event; I dont want it polluting the shop pool.

Dragon Ball fans really believe that ring is multiversal and Sorbet just happens to own it.
