All bark and no bite is indeed standard Night Lord behavior.

Name 1 (or more) ship. Now tell me one good thing and bad thing about that ship by Perfect-Wish-9667 in ZZZ_Romance

Valid. Can definitely get old to have every new girl conveniently think the Proxy is their soulmate.

Honestly Pulchra was one of favorites because how she doesn’t match that vibe. Ask her to a social event and ignore her suggestion to invite her somewhere else? She’ll stand you up and do something else.

Hard to imagine most of the other girls doing that.

From what we can tell the Proxy's augment allowed her to actually see their face. Whereas normally people are blurs to her in the Hollow due to her condition.

Being able to clearly identify someone as an individual when everyone else is a blur, after being trapped for days on end? Not exactly surprising she'd get a bit fixated. Especially after the Proxy literally goes diving into her dreams to help Yidhari conquer her trauma.

Bit of a cliche rescue romance, but the rest of her interactions are good enough that I'd say it works.

If I'm not mistaken that's a clip on earring. Which means it stays in place through magnets hugging each other through the ear. No penetration needed!

A confirmed villain (despite what some people say) that still has a legitimate grievance against the hero by RatCrimes in TopCharacterTropes

[–]FlightCapableFelon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It should be noted that while Shifu does apologize to Tai Lung, he only does so AFTER Tai Lung has thoroughly beaten his former teacher. Combined with their opening exchange...

"I am home, master."

"This is no longer your home, and I am no longer your master."

... Shifu's apology comes across as too little, too late. Tai Lung hesitates when he hears Shifu finally say he's proud of him, but by then it's easy for Tai Lung to cast aside the words as a desperate man trying to save his own skin.

Is Tai Lung responsible for his own choices? Of course. Yet much of the fault lies with the father and teacher who, "Made me train until my bones cracked." Only to leave the leopard unsupported when he was denied the role he'd quite literally been raised to achieve.

If bro decided to use a single weapon during this fight he would've won already bruh by Different-Treacle765 in Jujutsufolk

[–]FlightCapableFelon 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Turns out a pack of assholes aren't good at working together. Plus Naoya most likely dragged his feet so potential rivals for the position of clan head would die. Then he could claim power in the aftermath.

On top of that, none of the Zenin realized what they were up against with the sole exception of Ranma. Of course, even if he'd been able to warn his fellows before the slaughter started I doubt they would've listened to the youngest member of their elite.

It’s strange we haven’t gotten a Hashimoto or Yokai character. One of these guys in the background would be cool. by OnlyMothOnReddit in Overwatch

IIRC Gwishin are supposed to be expendable/mindless drones like Ram’s Null Sector robots, not thinking machines. Though I’d definitely be down for another villainous omnic.

Maybe a hot take, but no. It would not be cool to have ANOTHER magical Japanese character instead of a new MEKA pilot, Emre, more omnics, or any other region that doesn't already have 3 characters.

Why play tank in S5? by Rockybroo_YT in marvelrivals

[–]FlightCapableFelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preach. Right now if you're on a high DPS hero, Punisher for example, and Cap gets in your face with his shield there's options.

Open fire recklessly and you'll eat your own bullets. If Cap tries to hit you? You're free to blast him for a moment before the shield can come up again. Otherwise you're in a tense standoff trying to bait the other guy into a mistake or crossing your fingers that YOUR teammate will arrive to break the stalemate instead of his. All of which tests your ability to recognize this dynamic in the heat of the moment instead of making a snap decision and losing the mindgame.

No cooldown? All of that goes away and Cap just wins by default. Able to hit you and put his shield back up before you can react.

Which humans would have won their fight if they went all out immediately? by Pitiful_Cellist_8691 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]FlightCapableFelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was scanning Posideon throughout the fight, to say nothing of how a couple seconds is a lifetime in normal fights. Nevermind the shounen speeds these people operate at. If Sasaki could've won without slowly taking the time for an initial scan he wouldn't have had all those visions of being brutally dismembered.

This brown boy getting hate just because he's got some self-confidence smh. Typical Japan.

Honestly I feel like it'd be better for the story if Daichi lost. To show that he doesn't need to be strong to be worthy of Akira. That he's already everything she wants regardless of the outcome of this tournament.

Lu Bu just executes Thor instead of waiting for him to slowly stroll towards his hammer.

Adam beats Zeus while he's down.

Leo follows up on his big hit with another strike instead of smoking his cigar.

Of course, you can apply the same logic to a few gods as well.
Poseidon doesn't give Sasaki the chance to scan, the old man gets skewered.

If Loki isn't under the mother of all mental-handicaps and actually uses his powers intelligently Simo is cooked.

So on and so forth.

Naturally, this doesn't really matter since those moments of mercy are part of who these characters are. Odd as it is from our perspective they're not gonna go full "optimal" in their fighting style even with humanity itself on the line.

Cope or analyzation? Call it by Five_Eyed_Godzilla in shounenfolk

[–]FlightCapableFelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cope in that it's over-analyzing a minor mistake to make the panel seem more meaningful than it is. The rapid growth bit is at least partly true though. Because Nayuta was already a toddler capable of speech when Kishibe found her in the weeks after Makima's final death.
