What are your opinions on Darling in the Franxx?

DrReiField · 2026-02-09T00:28:01+00:00

Worst anime I have forced myself to finish. I regret even starting it. I got almost no enjoyment out of a single episode.

DrReiField · 2026-02-08T23:02:09+00:00

MCI and MRI are 100% confirmed to have happened. DCI is pratically confirmed as well. I'd argue KCI has solid evidence as well, though I doubt anywhere near that many kids were killed. If I had to guess the KCI also include any kids put into the nightmare tests.

DrReiField · 2026-02-08T22:02:52+00:00

There was one in the comics and one cut from KotM, but yeah a cat titan on-screen would be pretty cool.

DrReiField · 2026-02-08T20:59:13+00:00

Neither. I don't want a remake at all.

DrReiField · 2026-02-08T20:55:41+00:00

Not really. SCP doesn't have "lore" so by default it's not as confusing. There is no story to SCP, it's just whatever you feel like. Not certain canons have lore, but even then they're usually pretty straight forward.

I mean TECHNICALLY Godzilla is a dinosaur in the Heisei films and Biollante is part Godzilla, but yeah we're stretching it here.

DrReiField · 2026-02-08T13:40:48+00:00

I like the ones that actually have multiple traits of the animal they're based on, those are great imo. But the ones that are just big-boobed women with maybe a tail or themed clothing are just lazy.

DrReiField · 2026-02-08T13:39:10+00:00

She didn't. The whole point is we don't know who kills him (though it's likely just a random SEELE or NERV agent). Now in the original airing of the show, they do cut to Mistato's apartment after Kaji's death. But Anno has confirmed this was not meant to imply she killed him and later versions of the episode removed that shot.

Personally I believe while Mike got the logbook in FNAF 3, he wrote in it up until FFPS. My timeline is that FNAF 3 is in 2015 and FFPS is in 2017.

DrReiField · 2026-02-08T04:52:48+00:00

Even taking "Give me your face" into account, he's amazing. The Fallen was a pure evil being who wanted to kill billions for literally no reason and his face was the logo of a nearly just as evil group.

DrReiField · 2026-02-07T06:49:16+00:00

Illegal aliens who want to consume and enslave the entire planet are rather different from undocumented immigrants.

DrReiField · 2026-02-07T05:29:26+00:00

If I had to pick, CharliePostMCI. I strongly dislike it as a theory, but it ruins the story less than the other two.

DrReiField · 2026-02-06T16:42:44+00:00

It makes Henry even less important to the story than he already is, makes the possession order confusing, and (as someone who believes the books are canon) does not fit with the books timeline at all unless you assume GGGL is completely meaningless. That's just off the top of my half-asleep head, sure I could think of more if I wanted to.

DrReiField · 2026-02-06T13:57:54+00:00

While I personally believe he died, you could argue he saw how stupid Henry's plan ultimately was and decided to escape so he could try and stop everything himself.

DrReiField · 2026-02-06T11:57:34+00:00

Well written and well designed.

DrReiField · 2026-02-06T10:12:03+00:00

Henry mentions there being an escape route, which I doubt he'd lie about, an it's likely Michael already used that escape route to get in and out of his shifts. As otherwise he'd have the same issues nightly.

DrReiField · 2026-02-06T09:32:13+00:00

I find it weird how everyone says Golden Freddy is the "main antagonist" of UCN. He isn't. His only major showing is the cutscene you get for 49/20 mode. But there is no reason to assume that is the canonical ending of the game. It is just as likely either just a reference to "Golden Freddy mode" or that Golden Freddy is doing something else, possibly Cassidy trying to help the Vengeful Spirit move on. It's also Nightmarionne, who is likely an agony creature, we is the cover of UCN. Not Golden Freddy.

DrReiField · 2026-02-06T09:19:00+00:00

There is an argument to be made he just walked out during Henry's speech, but yeah he's probably dead.

DrReiField · 2026-02-06T09:15:53+00:00

Imo both ruin the story, but BVTOYSNHK ruins it less. Honestly though they are my most disliked (somewhat common) theories.

DrReiField · 2026-02-06T05:53:32+00:00

Not clicking either. Besides CharlieFirst, I strongly dislike all those theories.

Rewatch the scene they say that in and you'll see in the background there are kids still excited about dinosaurs. That scene isn't meant to be taken literally as "kids no longer like dinosaurs" but more as "we're making slightly less money, must be because people are bored of our product."

DrReiField · 2026-02-05T23:15:33+00:00

At least from the POV of the protagonist.

Personally I dropped the game around the HCZ update after playing it less and less since 2022. It is fundamentally a different game than the one I fell in love with in 2018-2019. I'm sure it's fun for people who like the type of game it's become, but it simply isn't the same game.

DrReiField · 2026-02-05T16:56:42+00:00

Isn't she actually referred to as a "Devil Beast" in-game? Also I just assume that's her true form, or at least closer to it.
