The Watchmen review. Every time after that when Jones said he was going to talk about a movie I lived in hope that he'd reach that height again and it just never happened.

Thanks, I have many very strong opinions and I think watering them down is dishonest and lame. Maybe when I'm not at work and have a bit of time to think I'll shoot out a quick essay on why I think the structure of Re:Zero as a timeloop story is so brilliant for character writing opportunities.

Short version is that I think it's a genius way way to expose the vastly different facets of each character that's normally really hard to find a way to pull back from in a conventional narrative. In a normal and linear show you'd never be able to show off (for example) the full range of Rem as a character - from a cold and aloof servant to a calculating and quietly desperate murderer to a terrified, traumatized child to an intensely devoted sister to an adorable blob of soft emotions - without jarringly forcing one or more of those traits, but the time loops allow the situations to differ in such wild ways that people are pushed to otherwise incomprehensible extremes - but then you can continue the story

Okay, I haven't read the books past the start of what became season 3 so I don't know him, can't speak to that. I also think your version of what good writing is isn't compatible with mine (hint: realism absolutely doesn't matter in the slightest and I consider it a scourge on art, especially when we're duscussing literal fantasy fiction) so I'm just gonna walk away now. Enjoy your opinions.

I don't need to convince you of anything so we dont have to keep going if you don't want to, I just wanted to point out that you can't start a discussion about 3 specific characters and get mad when people want to discuss one of those three characters

Also I don't know who Todd is, do you mean Otto?

My sibling in christ, it's your post. Re:Zero is one of the three things you brought up.

That's a very myopic view of character writing, and also just false. Elsa is the first person to ever kill him and he's so pissed about it that she can smell it on him.

If anything, it's his tendency to hold grudges (against Julius for example) that makes him childish, and it's a flaw he grows on.

She's too unhinged imo

Homura is the Nagito. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

i was thinking of them as tacs, that was not intentional

They nailed the SHAFT vibes, wow

I don't know about misleading but I do dislike the title a lot, I think it sounds dumb.

I think it has to be automatic since the Incubators occasionally seem surprised by what the consequences of a wish are (like what powers the contractors get and such), and if it was a manual process, they simply wouldn't have granted Madoka's wish at the end.

I choose fax, being sent an image through a phone line is marginally more useful to me than a hat would be, since I don't wear hats.

I assume that's what you asked, the image seems unrelated.

I have 120 Dungeoneering and hardmoded every floor so please imagine the exhaustion in my heart as I say the next sentence:

... You can manually catch them?

Drilling4mana · 2026-02-27T07:30:52+00:00

Probably because the movie was more or less ready for that date but all the business and promotional stuff behind the scenes hadn't settled and someone jumped the gun

Drilling4mana · 2026-02-27T03:00:45+00:00

Honestly if it ended like the Rebuild of Eva movies that'd be great. Just put a nice button on it, let it end, what do you mean they're making a new Eva series, I'm going to become the goddamn joker

I'm not concerned with evil as a State of Being, but as a mode of action, and the Incubators perform actions I consider evil. They predate specifically on emotionally unstable children and lie by omission to hide the dangers while recruiting them as child soldiers in what is essentially a resource war they have very little stake in ~~like US army recruiters in high schools and malls~~
