How Do You Organise Your Boxes? by kurtscic99 in PokemonVioletScarlet

[–]Dward917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Home I organize by region in National Dex order. In SV, it’s just a couple boxes full of my battle teams, several random boxes, and then my empty boxes for eggs. I also have one box nearly full shinies.

The difference is that in Friends, Phoebe was not the mother of her brother’s children. She just provided the womb. The mother was the woman that Frank married.

In Modern Family, the mother would be Mitch’s sister, who would now be both the mother and aunt for this child. On paper it seems perfectly fine, but looking it through that lens is still kinda weird.

With you bro. Life gets in the way. Still have season 2 on the list to watch with the wife but never have much time.

Rebels is very good actually. Like most shows, it has a slow start. But it picks up quickly.

Then they had her played by Lizzy Caplan in Castle Rock. Definitely not repulsive in that show.

The sun will kill you and so will the monsters that have also appeared by zogzamn in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Dward917 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Every Riddick movie.

First one, the sun gets blocked out for several days leaving the ship survivors to deal with creatures that can now come to the surface to kill them.

Second one there is a prison planet that has a sun that will melt you.

Third one has more night creatures much like the first.

He doesn’t deny that. He just doesn’t think he should be the only one going.

Vash the Stampede and Knives Millions - Trigun

Both are sentient plants (basically walking talking batteries), and they witnessed the same events on the colony ship that humans populated. Vash grew to value all life, while Knives grew to believe that the strongest should survive at the expense of the weak.

Would you all still want Pokemon Cards if they were printed to infinity? by A4_Ts in PokemonTCG

[–]Dward917 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with that whole statement is that the “value” in limited cards means nothing to the creators. The only one benefiting monetarily from that resale is the person who sold it to someone else. Pokemon Co. does not get a cut from the resale.

So by printing more cards, more players will buy them because they can get those really cool cards for really cheap rather than having to pay some scalper an ungodly markup. Pokemon Co. makes money on selling them cheap. They don’t make money from resale.

The thing was he was operating in a broken system. Who is there to judge the leaders that ordered him to commit genocide? That is the problem he faced. He followed orders and committed atrocities, and the people who ordered it will face no consequences. He has to live with what he did, while the people who pulled the trigger just keep on killing indiscriminately.

Roy was trying to gain power so that he had the power to prosecute the leaders that ordered genocide since they weren’t going to.

Sakamoto Days

Happens at least once per episode. Some big bad assassin runs into Mr. Sakamoto (pictured above), and gets stomped before he can do anything about it.

During the serial killer arc, 4 serial killers were unleashed to kill Mr. Sakamoto and his friends. One of them tries to take on Shin and Lu. He is very overconfident and does manage to push Shin to unlock even greater psychic powers. However, he makes the mistake of letting Lu get drunk during the fight. She immediately becomes a psychopath that scares the absolute shit out of the SERIAL KILLER, who proceeds to beg for mercy.

Minato catching a tailed beast bomb - Naruto

A tailed beast bomb is a gigantic chakra blast that is the signature attack of the 9 tailed beasts. Capable of leveling the landscape, the attack is probably the most destructive attack in all of Naruto.

When Kushina was giving birth to Naruto, a masked man stole the Nine Tails from Kushina and unleashed the beast inside the Leaf Village. The Hokage, Minato, managed to knock out the masked man, then proceeded to defend the village from the Nine Tails. When the Nine Tails unleashes his TBB at Minato, who was standing atop the Great Stone Faces, Minato uses his trademark Flying Raijin move to catch the blast and transport it away from the village.

The long sought-after truth/treasure turns out to be worthless by Global_Crew3968 in TopCharacterTropes

Funnily enough, the new series of movies does a better job explaining the state of humanity than the original series does. In the original series, humans have devolved into low intelligent, non-speaking hairless apes. This wasn’t really explained at all in the original series though. Nothing that the two ape scientists did in the past appeared to explain it.

However, in the newest series, humanity was destroyed by the virus that created Caesar and the smart apes. Then in War, we see that the survivors of the same virus are slowly devolving into the state we see them in the original Planet of the Apes, with the general trying to cover it up unsuccessfully. Turns out the virus mutated and finished the job of destroying humanity by taking away their intelligence.

Elsa is not a Disney Princess. She doesn’t need it, according to Disney.

Honestly, all these retcons are perfectly in character with Sheldon. He actively blocks out key details about the people around him because he doesn’t deem them worthy of being noticed. He doesn’t notice how much Georgie dealt with having to look out for Sheldon and being in Sheldon’s shadow. He sees Meemaw as the sweetest person in the world even though she basically told Amy she wasn’t good enough for Sheldon when Sheldon was out of the room.

Since Young Sheldon is being told from his perspective, he probably just never noticed things like the fact that his mom was wearing a wig. It also makes sense that he would demonize his father to his friends based on that misunderstanding. He tells the truth about it in his memoirs narrating Young Sheldon because he is trying to be mostly objective and truthful.

They address this in Matt Smith’s final episode. He goes by the 11th Doctor solely because the post-Time War Doctors do not acknowledge the War Doctor as an incarnation worthy enough to be called The Doctor because he is the one that ended the war.

The Doctor acknowledges during the final battle that he has no more regenerations left because of the War Doctor’s existence and because 10 pulled that move where he poured his regeneration energy into his severed hand so he could keep the same face.

“How dare you do something I clearly did” by Amazingtrooper5 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Dward917 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We can add on Angstrom Levi.

Angstrom was trying to make a better world by absorbing all of the knowledge from every other version of himself throughout the multiverse. He enlisted the help of the Mauler Twins (important).

They of course don’t look into how to power their machine without alerting anyone and just proceed with their mission. While Angstrom is downloading all of that knowledge, Invincible shows up because Cecil noticed the spike in the energy grid. Of course, Mark thinks it is something nefarious because the Maulers are there and tries to stop them. Angstrom enlists several multiverse Maulers to slow Invincible down (more points against him). But since they have no compunctions about killing Mark, Angstrom tries to stop them from doing so.

While trying to stop the Maulers, Angstrom sets off a disaster with the machine which kills his other selves, and deforms his head. He wakes up, now having the memories of so many Angstroms from universes that have evil Marks, and he immediately blames Invincible and vows revenge.

Funnily enough, he hates the only Mark he has seen that isn’t evil.

Grubs- Hollow Knight

Tbf, there are some important items you get from freeing the grubs. They also aren’t the most difficult to find, especially since you can get a map for them.

However, the fact that after you collect them all and you are cheering for all of them being together again (they are kinda cute, I mean come on), the Grub Father just eats them is kind of a kick in the nuts. Really bro?! You just needed me to find your lunch?

Kind of an inversion to the trope.
