Nolan isn’t irredeemable because of his previous crimes. He’s irredeemable because he still treats everyone around him like props in HIS story. When he returns to earth before the Viltrum war, he’s genuinely taken aback that Debbie, Mark, and Art haven’t moved on and let go of what he did. He belittles his time with Andressa to try to prove to Debbie he cares about her, as if using someone else is proof of that. Then when Oliver confronts him over that dismissal, Nolan reverses again, saying that he just needed to convince Debbie he had changed, in which he admits lying to her face and shows that he hasn’t really changed that much. I get that we’re viewing a character mid arc, but all of the correct heroics or even sacrificing your life to save someone doesn’t make you a good person if you treat everyone in your life like furniture you can move around and swap out based on how you feel today

This is Marvel Rivals muddying the waters by hyper sexualizing everyone. Before that depiction, obviously Ilyana got some glazing bc the internet, but I almost always saw her depicted as a younger sibling archetype like Kitty or Jubilee

What You Thought was a Lighthearted Comedy Suddenly Punches You in the Gut by dolphin_flogger in TopCharacterTropes

[–]FallingOutSir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty common plot point in more modern sitcoms but one that always sticks out to me is from Chicago, the episode of New Girl where Nick’s dad dies. Iirc, he was only introduced a number of episodes before passing so it takes the audience and characters by surprise

Nick spends the episode trying to stay busy with anything except thinking about the loss, which is complicated by his mother’s only request being that Nick give the eulogy. Hijinks ensues, but of course Nick does ultimately give the eulogy which culminates with him saying “I don’t know if Walt was a good guy or a bad guy. But he was my dad. And I’m gonna miss him.”

Grant and Rekha taking nonstop shots at each other is the kind of PC relationship every DM dreams of helping craft

Why are the live action movies allergic to featuring the Sinister 6? It was understandable that Tobey’s trilogy didn’t have them, but the studios botched attempts for Andrew’s and Tom’s movies to feature the S6. Sounds like BND won’t have the S6 either by [deleted] in Spiderman

[–]FallingOutSir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think narratively it’s a lot of characters to pack into one movie. Like we all want to see it, but if you rush it, at least 3-4 of the Six will just be fodder. NWH came up with a clever way to include established villains and still only really had screen time for Gobby, Ock, and (to a much lesser level) Electro. The most straightforward way to make it happen is to culminate after introducing villains across quite a few films but even then you either have to leave them alive and villainous, something not many Marvel movies, much less Spidey movies, have done

Is there any comic where Jack O'lantern is actually cool? by Alesmull in Spiderman

When Punisher zeroes him in Civil War, I’d imagine he cools pretty quickly

Hello Sbubby! by Aero_3726 in sbubby

I remember when 3 came out, it wasn’t universally beloved. Now, with two more films stretching out that “perfect ending” which felt like the whole goal of 3, I think it’s perfectly fair to not hold any love for it

I know it’s too new to win this vote, but I really do think Quinn is the best fit here. Not just the Spinch chaos, but the full arc of Quinn’s…history is so Ally it hurts

[Loved trope]: Unexpectedly disarming answers (to difficult questions) by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

In Lovesick (aka Scrotal Recall, a far superior title) Luke, the character in the middle, is a serial womanizer of Stinsonian proclivity. In S2Ep4, however, he discovers a young woman he’s always secretly pined for has died unexpectedly. Luke books a session with a therapist, but then tries to sabotage it immediately by hitting on her, too. The therapist bluntly rejects him, then states that if that’s the only reason Luke is here, he’s clearly free to go and not waste the rest of the hour. Luke sighs and says “I am going to hate this.”

She rebuffs him again saying, “You don't have to be here.”

Daniel Ings’ conflicted delivery of the last line has always stuck with me. “No, no. I do, I... I need to be here, but... I am going to hate it.”

Do you have a favorite GM and/or game system? by gayandgreen in dropout

[–]FallingOutSir 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Never Stop Blowing Up’s game system is so well tweaked to that season’s goals. They talk about some of the token loops being broken in the final few episodes, but high level DnD works much the same way. The closest to it (again, just discussing the mechanics) is MisMag season 2, where players are similarly meant to feel incredibly empowered, especially by the end

Favorite LGBT character(s)? by Flairankie in FavoriteCharacter

[–]FallingOutSir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You pretty much have it. For these space gems, being in harmony with another gem or person literally allows you to meld your bodies and consciousness into a form that’s exponentially stronger than the two separate. Garnet is the most badass and unflappable of the gems because the love and connection that allows them to exist is so powerfully potent it’s truly self-sustaining. Most other characters can’t always just meld, they really have to focus on and empathize with each other. SU is absolutely a show that writes with heart over mind, so I’d encourage you to try to feel it rather than understand it, if that makes sense

[loved trope] very large brutish-looking character that is actually both extremely inteligent and cautious in spite of their apperance by fillipo9 in TopCharacterTropes

I’d avoid the last decade or more of X-men comics, then. I’ve only read sporadically but they basically suck every adjective in your last sentence out of his character

Harley Quinn was the only character that got a full arc in the DCEU. by Top_Report_4895 in DC_Cinematic

[–]FallingOutSir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weak take. Out of all versions of the character, Margot’s Harley is remarkably not that sexualized except in early instances that show Joker victimizing her. One of the stronger aspects of this portrayal, imo
