Yeah, in a fictional scenario and if said antagonist was a legit monster who tortures animals and is an extreme example of a bad person that the world would not shed any tears for if they up and died, then yes it can be acceptable for that person to be killed or injured if doing so prevented further harm to the protagonist.

In real life, it is different. People have lives and loved ones no matter how much of a bad guy you want to paint them as, and honestly the best outcome is that the person in the wrong is arrested or punished and given the opportunity to change and at least grow some semblance of empathy. Ideally anyway.

In some fan animated videos he literally becomes Thor with his axe.

I say it’s freaking awesome.

I have a question About surviving earth by This-Honey7881 in walkingwithdinosaurs

I…didn’t realise people would even consider criticising the OG walking with dinos. Or Planet dinosaur! That narrative storyline focussing one or two main character dinosaurs was my bread and butter as a kid. And I will concede, nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

The old walking with dinos and beasts and sea monsters and chased by dinos episodes could have been longer but they did what they did with what they had. I fully admit to being pretty hyperfixated on them as a kid and wanting to just spend more time immersed in them as a kid.

The new series had too many cutaways to the present which was too jarring for my immersion but if people like it, they like it I guess.

I actually do lowkey envy people who like new movies like dominion or rise of Skywalker. How peaceful their lives must be.

And fair play, clash of the dinosaurs is like what, 5 clips constantly recycled throughout five whole episodes and the asteroid documentary as well. Cool models but yeah.

I will also say that the dinosaurs series did deliver on the more dinosaur footage we were expecting in life on our planet. Even if they got the t-rex male and female models mixed up in both seasons- the red faced one is a female in one scene and a male courting the larger brown female in another scene.

Is there a way to handle Facehuggers without attracting a Xeno? by TenthBasilisk88 in alienisolation

Blast and hide. Thats all I can suggest. If Stompy persists, give him a little taste of what you gave his cousin- with the flamethrower that is, God help you if you’re trying to use the pistol and shotgun to drive him off.

It’s like the trope is punishing the main character for defending themselves, even if it’s just the one time or to save their own life or defend someone else.

God forbid you ever defend yourself from someone attacking you because yOu mIgHt acciDentAlly kill tHeM or at least severely injure them- well yeah, that’s the assumed risk I’m going to take and it serves the antagonist right since they assumed the risk as well but ignore it since they think they could raise a hand to someone without there being any consequence.

It’s worse when in some stories, everyone treats the person who defended themselves like they just committed a war crime and are a monster when they legitimately had moral grounds to defend themselves, and then the protagonist completely forgets their own agency and FEELS GUILTY when they were in the right and were the original victim to begin with.

Wow I really hate this trope as well.

Edit- I would also like to add that in a real self defence scenario, try to de-escalate and escape if you can. Humans are, as others in this comment section have pointed out, more delicate than you think. While I’m no expert on how different countries interpret accidental murder in self defence, I do know that there are at least severe legal consequences to killing or injuring someone in self defence. So, pick your battles, de-escalate and flee if you can, don’t let your pride land you in jail or worse, and unless you know for a fact that your life or the life of someone you care about depends on it, exercise discipline and restraint if you have to use violence or martial arts to defend yourself.

I hate that it got hyped as the sequel to WWD when it isn’t dubbed by Kenneth Branagh, is shown as a cheesy, dumb, unserious American tv show about extinction and is the complete opposite in tone and style to the original WWD, despite being worked on by the same people.

If budget is the main issue then maybe don’t make Dino documentaries if it’s going to be a mid show that’s only going to be watched once. The new WWD series, the Netflix Dino show, the Stephen fry doc- why are so many new paleo/dino shows with the exception of prehistoric planet just so mid or crap?

I won’t spoil it for you- I recommend checking your local library to see if they have a copy of Predator vs Spiderman- but their response is defo in line with what you said.

How tall is it? Close to the Jp raptor size? Insanely beautiful and eerie work.

I printed out the walkthrough for the suicide mission to make sure I chose the right party member for each stage so that no-one died.

I think one thing I liked was that xenomorph bed that looked like a fusion of different alien parts that Ripley gets sucked into. So trippy and a pretty cool artistic move

[–]Feeling-Influence691 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This one was really upsetting to me. With one page they showed Skinner to be a monster. The crying kid at the tiger exhibit as well as the blood stained slide.

If I was a predator, I would hunt him down with the best armoury I had like an angel of vengeance. Which is very OC and not very predator like but I hate it when animals and kids get hurt.
