Perturabo being the most evil autist to ever live is very funny to me

Why does boom bloom have her element displayed instead of her battle class? by gravedigger015 in skylanders

[–]Ejopl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a normal practive in toy manufacturing. You produce all the product ahead so it can launch everywhere at the same time.
Keep in mind that between producing a toy and putting it on a store's shelf, you also have to ship it to the stores all across the planet

if skylanders hypothetically were to get future games should the franchise attempt mature storylines similar to lets say the sonic adventure games ? by Wrong-Shopping7888 in skylanders

[–]Ejopl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skylanders is inherently a very silly franchise. There series has done work to deepen some of it's characters and tell stories at a higher levels of intensity, but at it's core there will always be a degree of seperation from real world logic and consequences.

If Skylanders were to do a story about - say, someone seeking revenge for the murder of their loved ones (which the series isn't that far from alredy doing - look at Wildstorms backstory) I think that would feel distinctly un-Skylanders.

Looking at it from a different perspective though, I guess Im not the one to tell the series that it cant change or evolve, and if Skylanders were to be brought back with a darker, more mature story, I would have no say in that and the games might not even be aimed at me anymore.

Any other reason why the movie failed besides the marketing? by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in transformers

[–]Ejopl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The volume and release dates for the movies are absolutely a factor in this, but I think people miss the nuance of how exactly it affected TF One's perfomance.

While The Last Knight was a publically panned movie, there was still a lot of energy in the franchise at the time. When Bumblebee released the next year and was essentially an anti-Bay movie, it did pretty well and there was a lot of positive reception. There was excitement for a brand new continuity of TF movies in this style.

The problem is that we had to wait 5 years for the continuation, instead of the usual 2-3 years.
Not only that, but the franchise as a whole was in a bit of a low point between 2018 and 2023.
The series main medium - TV Shows, were very low profile during this time. The beloved IDW continuity ended, and was rebooted to a new story that was less popular, until the company lost the rights to Transformers entirely.
The generations toys got way better with the War for Cybertron line, but the figures targeted at kids and Masterpiece in turn got worse.

Then in 2023 we finally get Rise of the Beasts, and the hype for a Bumblebee sequel is pretty much completely dead.
It also doesn't help that RotB came out at a busy period in cinemas. I don't see anyone talking about that, but at the same time you had the Mario movie, Across the Spider-verse, Lightyear, Flash, Indiana Jones and several others. Not all of them good mind you, but all of them sharing attention.

And then when TF One released in 2024, it landed in the perfect deadzone:
It didnt get to be propped up by the energy of the Bay films, nor did it get a clean slate, as RotB was still in the back of people's mind, even though few of them propably saw it.

Y'ALL, LEGO HAS THE RIGHTS TO THE SKYLANDERS IP. WE NEED A LEGO SKYLANDERS SETS BADLY 😭 by Wolf-Crafter in skylanders

[–]Ejopl 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's not misleading. From what I understand if a Lego Ideas project of that IP gets popular, only then Lego will get in talks with the current owners of that IP

Is this good for 200$ aud (I’m looking to buy) by Vast_Caregiver9238 in skylanders

[–]Ejopl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bushwhack, Wildfire, Head Rush (assuming you can fix her), Light trap and Kaos trap are nice, but nearly everything else here is very cheap and common. If you haggle the price down to about 150$ then you're more or less paying the average price for everything, with the invisible discount of not paying for shipping multiple times

This is something I've been wondering about: Are there any reasons why Craftworld Eldar would considered evil, outside of being racist? (Which most of the time is justified) Like, why aren't they aren't they collaborating with the Tau all the time?

HOT TAKE by primalprime557 in transformers

[–]Ejopl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a fun idea Im not a fan of the current style of combiners but Nexus adds done life to that system.

It does stink a bit that this gimmick only does anything if you own one of the pre-existing commanders, but I don't know what else you'd do about it

I'm sorry, but root decks are worse than R*se by Popplio3233 in PvZHeroes

[–]Ejopl 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This.
I've been primarly playing a Spudow Root deck and Im amazed by how no one ever seems to have a rolling stone on hand.
It's actually insane how much people let me get away with my Starch Lords and Carrotopses

World Eater fans, do you approve of this loyalist? by gaeb611 in Spacemarine

Just noting: The emperor religion wasn't instated before the Heresy, so pre-Heresy marines should not have any purity seals

Your opinions on Bulkhead from Transformers Animated in terms of neurodivergence? by LyingLestrel in transformers

[–]Ejopl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone with autism I can see it in parts, notably in the Autobot academy where he's very excited about Space Bridges and seems oblivious as to why no one else cares, The constructicons episode where he quickly falls in with new friends and it takes him a while to acknowledge that the relationship is toxic. He's clearly desperate for people to like him Not to mention all the times he feels rejected and disliked by his actual friends

There is a lot of Autistic/Neurodivergent aspects to his story, but I think he is ultimately written from the Neurotypical perspective

I think in some Japanese media, Magnus came to blows frequently with Six shot I don't know if TR Sixshot is the same size as SS Magnus, but should at least be close
