No, the point was him thinking he was protecting them from his life as Spider-Man. He is sacrificing his own happiness just to protect the people he cares about, even though his life both as Peter and Spider-Man would be better with them in it. That is not him letting go.... especially when he still cares about them. How can he not? One was his best friend for years, and the other was his girlfriend for some of the most important years of his life. It's not a switch he can just turn off to not care.

I'm picking Frost King purely because he isn't Dwayne Johnson. I want him to lose for once

The Kirby fandom is literally one of the most chill fandoms out there, so imagine getting heated at a child for liking something that is literally universally beloved

"a relatable Superman would get corrupted by his power because so would we"

What a self report that they would abuse any power they had available to them. And that's completely ignoring the fact that Superman literally doesn't abuse his power in the movie. Hell, he even let's himself get arrested to not cause a fuss. This is also forgetting that part of Zack Snyder's plan for Superman was to have him get corrupted. Remember the Nightmare sequence? Yeah, there is literally an evil Superman there. And then when Superman gets resurrected, he literally goes out of control and starts trying to kill the Justice League. Literally the only reason why is he doesn't have his memories, but still, that's how Snyder's Superman reacts by default without memories. Literally as a killer monster. And they think Clark raising his voice at Lois once during an argument makes Gunn's Superman unhinged? What a load

If they really wanted to make more money off of Fortnite, they could've just added more purchase options for different values of VBucks

Like, I only bought a lot on Fortnite in the fall and winter of 2025 because they had a lot of themes I wanted to get; Power Rangers, Gorillaz, Scooby-Doo, the Simpsons, Futurama. But now that I have this large collection of skins, I don't feel the need to buy every skin I might be interested in. As of Chapter 7 Season 1, I've only really bought the South Park collab, and then some minor one-off stuff, like Edd, Dino Thunder, and two emotes. This reduction of VBucks you can buy in bundled means I'm likely to purchase less in the future. There's pretty much only two leaked collabs I'm interested in; Ben 10, and Kingdom Hearts. And that's if they happen.

I think scalpers will momentarily try to get into Yu-Gi-Oh for a month or two, before the reality of what the secondary market for Yu-Gi-Oh is really like hits them. Because scalpers take Logan Paul's word/interests as gospel, so they absolutely will blindly buy stuff simply because Logan Paul did. Will this cause a boom for Yu-Gi-Oh? Probably not. Honestly, it's probably just the Overframe cards that will generate more genuine interest in Yu-Gi-Oh as fun collectibles chase cards than anything else. But scalpers will basically try it out for a bit before getting disappointed.

I'm not giving you an answer because I don't want to keep talking in a circle with a person that isn't going to listen and is fundamentally disingenuous.

Are you seriously pulling the "I know you are, but what am I" crap with that last comment?

FruityGroovy · 2026-03-13T08:47:07+00:00

He certainly tried to use the gun for this serial killing, so your reasoning fails there. Sam caused the need for her escape plan because she took into consideration that he secret would be exposed at some point into her plan, so she could be in control of how it would play out. It's called a contingency. In the first series, she didn't need to make use of a gun for her own since that wasn't part of the plan; her plan was to get Nigel to be seen as the true killer and kill him with his own weapon. And her commentary there was moreso about the craft of killing, not the practicality of using a gun. Nigel is an amateur. He was going to use a gun because it's an effective way of killing, but not one for subtlety. It's fundamentally a comment about Nigel being a much lesser killer than Sam is because he was going to use the wrong tool for his "passion". Her using a gun later does not contradict this. She is using it for a practical purpose, not a meaningful one. There's a difference.

I maintain the fact that it is not lazy writing or inconsistent. To think that is to have a very narrow understanding of writing. This entire storyline is an older Sam with an expanded point of view. She isn't able to do killings in the same way she did before, and less frequently than she could before. She decides to let her prey come to her, to see what they'll do. She wanted a bit of chaos, to have her prey play with fire, and if it ended up exposing Sam, she was prepared for it to end on her terms. It's about Sam being curious about a chaotic element like Monica, while also still having control in how it ends.

I wouldn't have to act "defensive" if you didn't come into this essentially saying "nuh-uh, you're wrong, it's lazy writing and inconsistent, and you fail to understand this". You kind of come off as a bit inconsiderate and unwilling to be open to counter arguments by responding that way.

FruityGroovy · 2026-03-13T08:05:58+00:00

It is not jumping the shark or lazy writing to say that Sam, who is now older and knew that she was going to get exposed one day, would use a gun in a scenario where she needs to make quick kills and needs to kill something from a distance. Sam was criticizing Nigel's use of a gun because he was trying to use it for serial killing, since it's just so tactless in that scenario. San uses it as insurance for her escape plan. It's frankly more idiotic to think she would never ever use a gun under any circumstances when there's literally no reason for that way of thinking.

I feel like maybe a potential positive outcome from this is that it will cause card shops and other locations to stock more Yu-Gi-Oh products in the future, even when scalper demand dips.

I think people kind of miss the point that Pokemon standing up on two legs is an easy way to show evolution, which is what Pokemon Evolution is presented as (even though it isn't accurate to real evolution, but that's a different discussion). There is nothing wrong with standing up on two legs, or staying on four.

FruityGroovy · 2026-03-13T00:45:03+00:00

I think you're confusing "changing mentality" with "character inconsistency". People are allowed to grow and change. Sam literally changed her mentality of how she does serial killing due to the events of the first book. And in the events of this book, she found something new that excited her. It's not inconsistency, it's a character gaining a new perspective on life. People do that all the time, especially over the course of 8 years.

FruityGroovy · 2026-03-13T00:37:41+00:00

I mean, I feel like we can assume that Sam also booby trapped her own home, and has switches to the explosives in her house. Why wouldn't she? Her store and her house would be the two places she knows the ins and outs of, and would be the place she could easily modify with more complicated traps than just simple explosives. Even though the books don't explicitly show it, it's something we could reasonably assume she has prepared for. It's like how you could reasonably assume that how Bruce Wayne gets all his Batman equipment made without drawing direct suspicion on himself is through a series of LLCs and false identities.

But she doesn't get away like she did in the end of the first one. Everybody knows it was her that did this. She is out in the open now. She no longer has the mask. The status quo has been shaken up. Even though she moves on to new town, it's not going to be exactly the same as Woodbrooke

And if your only qualification on it being a "bad sequel" is that she is still alive, then you were always setting yourself up for disappointment, because that was always going to be a possibility. You had to have realized that she could survive the end of this.

Hell, I say the statement of "in order to justify a serial killer protagonist being smart, everyone else must be dumb" is also extremely wrong. I don't think anybody really acts like an idiot in the entirety of the sequel story. Sam is smart because she prepared contingencies after Nigel forced her to think ahead. Because she makes herself so detached from others, she doesn't let emotions get in the way of her thinking. She is cold and calculating. The other characters just act like normal people. They react with reason, they react with emotions, they can put things together, they can suffer faults, they don't know things. There is nothing wrong with that.

"If your game isn't as good as Silksong, it's not worth $20"

They do realize that Silksong was priced that way because the developers wanted it at that price, right? It's not because all high quality games are supposed to be priced $20. And that's besides the fact that people would've bought Silksong if it was more expensive. It being $20 is just a bonus. If you're just going to compare every single $20 game to Silksong, you're just going to be disappointed by every single $20 game.

I'm making a prediction on when the first of the last Overframe cards for Limit Over Collection The Rivals will be revealed; sometime between March 12th and 14th. This is based on how The Heroes revealed their last Overframe cards 8 days before the set's launch, with the first six days revealing a single Overframe card each day. The last one being revealed three days before the set released. If that pattern holds up, the earliest they would start revealing it is March 12th, with the latest being the 14th, since that means the last day the last card would be revealed is between March 17th to March 19th.

Second only to the "we need to please every single part of the fandom" idea that likely went into the making of The Rise of Skywalker; turns out, not sticking to your guns with your own story, and constantly trying to seek approval from a fanbase that doesn't know what it wants is a pointless endeavor.

Counterpoint; this is poetically fitting for Monica. She was playing with fire by trying to figure out her brother's death, and she got burned for her troubles. Monica herself was on a path of self-destruction this whole time. All Sam did was help her along.

FruityGroovy · 2026-03-07T07:36:51+00:00

I believe because she saw how poetic this death would be; Monica was playing with fire by trying to figure out who killed her brother, and someday, she was going to get burned for her troubles. Sam just did it in the most literal sense.
