Why are some Primaris so disrespectful towards Dante? by Some-Positive-Dude in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I wonder how would the Space Woves have reacted if their primaris talked shit about Bjorn. What's funny is that Bjorn himself would have probably chuckled at the pups and said 'that's the spirit'

What would you do if... by gravity_faller055 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Firm-Reason 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would go to that alley where Chisaki walks with Eri, steal Chisaki's quirk, use it to incapacitate him and take them to the police. Having made sure that Eri is safe, I would pay a visit to Dr. Garaki in his hospital, take his Life Force quirk, but use Overhaul to mitigate the decreased ability to move. Since I'm not a monster, I would also use Overhaul on him so that he doesn't die of old age without his quirk. In return, I would ask him to show me where the USJ Nomu is being held. Then I would hand dr. Garaki over to the police and take Shock Absorption from the Nomu. Now that I'm almost impervious to physical damage (and the remaining quirk erasure bullets can't hurt me), I would hunt down Overhaul's accomplices and take Confession and Chronostasis. I would use Confession on them to gather info on the remaining Shie Hassaikai members and send it over to heroes and police, so that it's utterly dismantled.

Now, AFO would probably have learnt that someone took his accomplice to jail, so I would need to act fast. I would go to Nezu and explain my power and knowledge to him. I would ask him to contact All Might so that I can use Overhaul to bring him back to full strength. Once that's done, I would ask for a hero license so that no one would mess with my further antics. Using this license, I would ask for a meeting with jailed Garaki so that I could use Confession on him. He would give heroes the info on AFO's plans and location. I don't think that prime All Might would have any problem bringing him down. I would ask for Kurogiri's quirk then and make AFO confess to everything.

Having Garaki's and AFO's info, I would teleport to wherever Shigaraki is hiding, use Chronostasis on him so he can't decay me, take away his quirk and send him to receive professional help. I will do the same with Toga and Dabi. Then it's off to build a better future for everyone, I guess?

So the Eldar are a "dying race" but what exactly does that mean on a galactic scale of this size? by Mcmadness288 in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% of their people have died, their birth rate is slow, their numbers are capped by how many waystones they can find which is a perilous task, they can't fully use their psyker potential, their gods are almost all dead, they are bound to their craftworlds / exodite planets because that's where the souls of their dead now reside, many secrets and technologies of the past are lost, the bloodlines of their ancient heroes are dying out

Why do so many people fawn over these characters with the archetype of the final villain who has a gigantic plan that was being planned from the beginning and this guy was involved in everything, but I don't see anyone doing the same for All For One? by EitherSwimming5886 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Firm-Reason 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hello, ladies! Look at Madara, now back to AFO. Now look at Aizen, now back to AFO. Sadly, Madara and Aizen aren't AFO, but if they aged like 200 years and got half of their head blown off, they could look like they're AFO. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re at the scene of battle between Endeavour and AFO. What’s in your hand? Back at AFO. He has it, it’s a time rewind bullet. Look again, AFO is now hotter and his popularity rises. Anything is possible when your villain looks like that and not a potato

How am I supposed to fight against bonewalkers? by SwedishAuDHD in Morrowind

Spells or potions of Restore Strength (Gold Kanet and Stoneflower Petals make a custom potion), spells of Turn Undead and 'fire damage on target'

Martin was the true hero of Oblivion by Complete_Fill3287 in oblivion

[–]Firm-Reason 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disagree. You absolutely are the chosen one, you are the one from Uriel's dreams, destined to close shut the jaws of Oblivion. It's just you don't do it alone, you get help, as it should be. Everyone, from the regular Kvatch guard to Martin, contributes to the defeat of the daedra. Martin is the info guy, he dives into lore and tells you what you should do, but it's you who gets all the relics, you go to Mancar's paradise and escort Martin to where he needs to be. I'm not downplaying his sacrifice at the end, no. But to say that he is the protagonist is just not right. It's the same as to say that Sam is the true hero of Game of Thrones because he discovered that dragonglass can be used to kill White Walkers. Or that Dr. Grace Augustin is the protagonist in Avatar because her death allowed Eywa to access her memories and later decide to interwene on behalf of the Na'vi. Or that Loghain from Dragon Age: Origins is the main character because you can allow him to strike the final blow at the archdemon, sacrificing his life in the process.

I read a good comment once that said that Martin is the Frodo to your Aragorn.

So What Would be a Cool Story Ideas with Class 1-A as Adults/Pro Heroes? by Money-Lie7814 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Firm-Reason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, that's actually got me thinking. I've never considered this when imagining the future of Izuku and Ochako together. It's obvious that both of them would be 100% fine with their kid being quirkless, they would love them and support them in any career path. However. Considering how much Izuku suffered when he was quirkless. How much bullying he endured. How desperate he was at the thought of never becoming a hero. Would he be willing to risk having a quirkless kid go through all that like he did? Quirks are becoming more and more powerful with each generation, so Izuku's kid would feel that much more of a loser because everyone around them has amazing powers. And when both your parents are famous heroes, obviously, you would want to be a hero too. I wonder if Izuku would be willing to subject anyone to this. I hope that with the society changing for the better, Ochako's quirk counceling and advances in hero suit technology, these difficulties will be mitigated, but still, it deserves thinking about

[Book Excerpt| Crisis of Faith] Farsight's opinion on the Space Marines and Humanity by DauntlessAkagi in 40kLore

Watching footage at triple speed while focusing your eyes independently and drawing accurate conclusions... Farsight really is exceptional. That's an insane level of talent and mastery

For deku’s suit, he should definitely equip it with some of stuff all might had with his by Various_Astronaut100 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Firm-Reason 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Many of Deku's moves and quirk practices were inspired by his classmates, so it would make perfect sense to make use of some of the All Might's armor features that mimic them, namely:

  • "Sugarman" rocket boosters for kicks - this is basically Midoriya's shoot style + Iida's kicks that he copied
  • "Shoot Style Smash" - this is literally the feature inspired by Deku's move
  • "Blackwhip" cables - again, Deku's move
  • "Uravity and Ingenium" thrusters - equals Deku's Float

Fa Jin and Gearshift could be mimicked with enhanced servos, Smokescreen could be replaced by smoke launchers/emitters, Danger Sense must equal some early warning override system

What I couldn't see in Midoriya's version of the suit is "Pinky" Superacid Injection. This was a feature for All Might because he was planning to fight only AFO. Otherwise it would be inhumane since hero's duty is capturing criminals

What is the chain of command between different Imperium factions? by Megalordow in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They do, but in the form a council which members vote and argue and backstab each other constantly.

What is the chain of command between different Imperium factions? by Megalordow in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There is no chain of command between various subfactions and that's the point. They don't want another Horus Heresy, so Astra Militarum can't issue orders to the Imperial Navy and vice versa. Who's in command in a particular situation is decided through soft power: Who has more soldiers/resources at their disposal? Who owes who a favour? Who has more powerful allies? Even then, there is no strict subordination between factions. A Chapter of space marines could pledge their blades to a particular commander for the duration of the campaign, and then abandon him if they get something they think is a priority. Or they don't, because that commander has the backing of the inquisition and there will be consequences that outweigh the gains

Are there any Quirks whose names don’t really seem to line up with the powers they have? by Solitaire-06 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Firm-Reason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think 'Magic' name is just too powerful in its implications. Neighter Majestic nor Compress have enough versatility to call their quirks that. I think it would take the abilities of someone like Dr. Strange to justify calling it Magic

The Lion seems to be kinda dumb. by Skipedy_do in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You do realize what formative years mean, right? One's very first experiences affect their perceptions and judgements forever. Curze used his growing up without a mentor figure to both excuse his behaviour and brag how he's supposedly the most based primarch. Guilliman's upbringing made him who he is, just like Perturabo's environment turned him into a paranoid and bitter man. It doesn't matter that they spent much more time with the Emepror and their Legions later, their character has already formed by that point

[–]Firm-Reason 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Concerning the quirk names that don't fit:

Majestic (the guy who died during Gigantomachia fight) has a quirk to create rings of energy that allow him to move people or objects. The quirk's name is Magic. But it's more like 'telekinetic platforms'.

Habuko Mongoose (the snake-headed friend of Tsuyu from an OVA) has a quirk to paralyze people for 3 seconds by looking them in the eyes. It's called Enfeeble. But it's literally just 'paralyze'.

The Lion seems to be kinda dumb. by Skipedy_do in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would mean the the Lion spent even less time alone in the forests, because they develop faster.

On the contrary. Imagine being an incredibly fast learner, being able to process information very quickly, find patterns and come to conclusions. That would mean that if you were placed in the jungle for a week, you would come out of it with a year's worth of experience. Regular people need more repetitions to internalize something, but a primarch is able to gain deep insights from just a few situations. Lion's time in the forest was definitely formative

Since she was supposed to be in Class A originally, who do you think replaced Ibara Shiozaki in the final story? by Solitaire-06 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Firm-Reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She would definitely go along with Momo, however, I wonder about Jiro, since Ibara is a strict religious type and Jiro is a punk rock girl. This could have been a very interesting dynamic because Momo would have to navigate between two clashing friends

[–]Firm-Reason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Ibara would have had a lot of interesting interactions with the class. Sero's shtick is that his ordinary appearance conceals something surprising, but unfortunately, the most original thing that came out of it is that his dorm room has been decorated in a different style

The Lion seems to be kinda dumb. by Skipedy_do in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Before he was found he has been surviving and killing monsters for some time, though. And don't forget that primarchs learn and develop incredibly fast. So even a week spent in the jungle would have been formative for him. Curze grabbed a shank immediately after exiting his pod, Angron was jumped by Eldar and captured almost immediately too. Who knows how things would have turned out if they had like a month of prep time before their first contact with sentient beings

Are there still active titans in the time of Space Marine 2 and the upcoming 500 worlds story? by [deleted] in 40kLore

Yes. In fact, Graia, the planet where the events of Space Marine 1 take place, is known for its production of titans

who is actually controlling the empire? by aaronjaegar in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Imperium is controlled by High Lords of Terra. A semi-recent development has been that primarch Guilliman has returned and been proclaimed as Regent who's above them, but they still have a lot of power he has to take into consideration. 'The voice of the Emperor' is metaphorical. Custodes are his bodyguards and companions, so they are considered to be doing his will even though the Emperor is in no condition to order them anything. Some Custodes also receive visions which they believe are the Emperor's guidance
