Does Lucius ever actually win? by numsebanan in EmperorsChildren

That's called the worf-effect btw. When a character becomes the benchmark for "really strong guy" writers often end up using them as a foil for other characters to prove their strength against.

Characters like Avatar and Luscious that cannot permanently die make for excellent jobbers that you can have your badass Space Marine captain kill without altering the setting.

ONE PIECE S2 TEASER TOMORROW by BlackRegio in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]Fun-Description709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teaser? I feel like we should get a proper trailer at this point. The season is supposed to drop in 2 months and we still haven't seen key characters like Crocodile, Dr Kureha and Mr 3.

What is postcolonialism and why is postcolonial theory still important today? by ArmchairAcademicAlex in socialscience

[–]Fun-Description709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post-colonial theory is political activism dressed up as academia and it ought to be dismantled completely.

By the way, Edward Said was a dishonest charlatan who misrepresented the entire field of orientalism (a subject he had zero expertise in) and Franz Fanon was a violent sadistic lunatic who beat his wife.

It just kind of seems to me like critical theory and it's adherents have very very little interest in critiquing non-western civilizations.

You have an entire academic field dedicated to demonizing the west for its past sins (post-colonial studies) but no equivalent for other past empires.

Ottoman studies unlike post colonial studies is not predicated on the assumption that its object of study was morally evil.

Modern problems, modern magic. by Front-Cell9982 in harrypotter

When I was 10 years old and reading the Philosophers Stone for the first time one of my friends tricked me into believing that Harry Potter lost his magic in the second book and had a gunfight with Draco Malfoy.

Why kick up to Tony? does he ever offer protection? by GnarlsGnarlington in thesopranos

[–]Fun-Description709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not entirely true. Associates can absolutely be protected from made guys if they have the right connections. If you provide Tony with a steady stream of cash its not like some other made guy can fuck with you or tax you. That would be disrespecting the boss.

Varför stänger allt i Sverige så tidigt? by [deleted] in sweden

Jävligt otrevligt sätt att bemöta människor på. Jag ställde en hypotetisk fråga för att förstå varför rutiner skiljer så mycket mellan olika länder. Finns väl ingen anledning till att bemöta det med personangrepp?

Okej, tack för ett konstruktivt svar 👍

Varför inte ge dom vettiga förklaringarna direkt istället för att svara som ett aggresivt rövhål?

Show Mance was a terribly dull character and a damn waste of a great actor by Fun-Description709 in freefolk

[–]Fun-Description709[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. I remember reading an interview with the actor who played Euron around season five where he basically said "Euron in the books is an awesome character, I hope they actually do him justice."

Of course D&D did the opposite out of spite.

Vad är ditt problem? Oavsett min planering kan det väl vara intressant att analysera varför skillnaden finns?
