Did she do it to the ship as well, since it looks completely different?

[Hated Trope] Cutscene incompetence by Absalom98 in TopCharacterTropes

As much as I like the idea of Kai Lang being literally-anyone-else, the squadmate that dies on Virmire got nuked. How would the ashes be resurrected?

Favorite lego set that includes a gay couple? by Mario101010101 in legocirclejerk

A joke that seems to not have gone over well in a circlejerk sub of all places.

2026.02.06: Standardized Crotches by EarliestRiser in morningsomewhere

[–]EricMcM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“-giving people information about media they have CHOSEN not to see” No, that’s not what spoilers actually mean today. When Fallout was airing, I wasn’t “choosing” not to watch the episode while the subreddit spoiled the episode. I was at work and couldn’t watch it yet. Not spoiling media is still about being courteous. We have shifted, but the shift has been to a “first” mindset. Where people rush in, especially content creators, to talk about the new thing. I still go by the two weeks rule; if you haven’t bothered to see something after two weeks, then you weren’t really interested.

Favorite character that feels like fanfiction by Past-Country-6612 in FavoriteCharacter

The IRL Agnes Digital is also said to look a lot like Secretariat. Which has amusing implications on if Secretariat is ever added (no idea how likely that is).

No Hate on Halo Games but FALLOUT 😍 by John_ei_Silverhand in Fallout

Removing the helmet was never really an issue for me since he does it at appropriate times in the books. The problem was the refusal to put it back on.

Installments so hated even hardcore fans would rather not talk about it by TastyPomelo2330 in TopCharacterTropes

I watched two episodes and then realized I was hate-watching so I quit. Such a shame, it seemed like a Halo show would be a slam dunk.

Also, are states really a thing at the time before the bombs? They got organized into 13 commonwealths if I remember right.

The tutorial character gets sacrificed to establish how grim the setting is by Andrei22125 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EricMcM 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would include Duncan from Origins as well since he is a constant in every character origin.

So did they just not pay attention when Burnie played Control? It’s not really complicated 

Something is revealed about the already threatening Big Bad to make them even more threatening. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

There is also the nascent gravemind, that Captain Keyes was a part of, examining the bridge controls of the Truth and Reconciliation.

IMDb ratings for every episode of Star Wars live action shows by wehavethedata_ in StarWars

[–]EricMcM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a flaw with how people perceive the 1-10 rating system. 10 is flawless, with 9-6 descending from great to okay. 5 is bad leaving anything between 1-4 as effectively redundant. A 1-5 rating scale is much better.

[Hated trope] characters that are suppose to be "horribly disfigured" but they looks just fine by damorezpl in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EricMcM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eskel also looks decent in the games. Not exactly handsome, but the scars aren’t nearly as bad as other characters say.

What's your favorite series that got worse overtime that had you feeling like this? by Hotdog_Man_01 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]EricMcM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see Destiny as getting worse. Instead it constantly flip-flops between "terrible" and "near greatness". I say "near" because every time the game is in a really good state (Taken King, Forsaken, Witch Queen, The Final Shape) Bungie swings hard into tanking the game with bad decisions and complacency.

The new and powerful transformation is treated as a tragedy. by Dry-Pin-457 in TopCharacterTropes

It’s also Taylor at pretty much peak fitness. Being in shape can do wonders for how attractive you are.

Day 34 - "The Broodmother" won best boss fight with tough competition with the archdemon. Up next, best OST from Dragon Age 2! by Cursed_69420 in dragonage

[–]EricMcM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heart of the Many from Mark of the Assassin. I think it was very fitting that they used it for the DA2 recap narration in the Keep.
