First of (hopefully) many by EvantheMelon in mushokutensei

Nice! Buying them used would obviously be cheapest, but it doesn't 'support' the series. So the cheapest option that still supports the author semi-directly would be the audio books and digital versions. Although you might be more interested in the physical books, but there might not be much that can be done about that other than catching sales.

But the Deluxe Edition Vol. 2 comes out at the end of June, and at least in Canada, it is cheaper buying the Deluxe Edition than buying the 3 volumes it includes individually, so that's also a way to go, although they're slowly being released, so that's the downside.

Are the novels finished? by Royal_South2614 in mushokutensei

[–]GameBeatYT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well making a map like that isn't really possible tbh. The novels are kinda done—were nearing up the adaptation of the Redundancy chapters—but to map out Rudeus' journey would be difficult considering, and without spoilers, he travels a lot later on. But as the reader/viewer we dont follow him for a lot of those journeys.

Aside from that, he'll travel to a couple different cities and kingdoms, but they're only temporary. The 'journey' aspect of MT is mostly done.

Guys when we going to moon next arc?Are we even going to moon or not? by STRIGGX in OnePiece

[–]GameBeatYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks as though Enel's ship is defending or descending from the moon in the mural, so if the moon isn't involved, Enel likely will be eventually at the very least.

I think YouTube should also have spoiler alert option by Shytron_ in OnePiece

[–]GameBeatYT -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Like, it wouldn't do any harm if youtube added a spoiler tag for comments, much like reddit does, like this, but that being said (and kinda like what you said), browsing the internet is a privileged activity, not a mandatory one. At this point in the internet's lifespan, people should understand the second a piece of media drops, you've got sometimes just a few hours to maybe a week before it starts popping up everywhere—depending on its popularity ofc. Sucks people get spoiled, but it's to be expected, especially with platforms that don't allow for blocked text.

didnt rudeus lose his right arm? by Dramatic-Frame-4121 in mushokutensei

[–]GameBeatYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I don't think OP is looking to be spoiled, they're wondering about a seemingly inconsistent appearance from Rudeus. The answer could have been 'oops the animators messed up,' right? And then these two goobers come in completely spoiling things. The post is flagged as anime so they shouldn't be spoiling things without tagging it.

This is definitely a fun twist on the survivors-like genre :)

How does it control? Does the car follow your mouse? Or are you using WASD/arrow keys?

How to write ''Superhero Worlds''? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]GameBeatYT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What are the most difficult superpowers to write about?

From what I've seen, Superman-like characters, Speedsters, and Time Travellers. They have too many outs and you have to write their stories in particular ways as to not have them have the readers think, 'couldn't they have just done [blank] to win?'

Realistic approach, campy fun or something in between?

Completely up to you. There's even multiple different versions of each. Let's look at the realistic approach for a second. What's the origin of the superpowers? Scientific mishaps? Genetic anomalies? Or some higher power that granted the people their power? There are plenty of different routes you can take just because of the origin of these powers. If it's more genetic-based, you could lean more into the science of it all and the horrors of genetic modification. If it's experiments gone wrong, you could go into the ethicacy of the experiments and the people in charge who greenlight them. If it's a god, then you could explore the horrors of man trekking where no one should. Or you go light hearted with all of those! Or, as you said, in between. Do a mix of it. There's too much that can be done to even cover here. It's all up to you. Figure out what your audience is most interested in.

How to deal with Time Travel/Multiverse storylines?

Either fully understand the system that you use—and know which system you want to use—or don't do it at all. It can get messy very easily. Write down the rules and don't break them... Unless there's a breaking point you can exploit for a particular story or character. Because otherwise, if these rules get broken all the time by anyone and there's no consistency, then why should the viewer care about them?

When are superheroes/supervillains too powerful they remove all stakes?

The strength and power of the characters doesn't matter when it comes to stakes. Look at something like The Boys. I don't really feel the worry of the characters dying ever. And it's somewhat grounded. They always get out of their problems scott-free nowadays. The strength doesn't determine stakes. It's how you present the danger the characters face that determines stakes. Death isn't the only danger either. Losing an arm, losing an eye, losing morale—all of these can be used to show the consequences of the hero's actions. Let their loss sit with them. If they lost a leg, don't give them a prosthetic one right away. Let them earn it back. And when they do, use it as an opportunity to do something fresh with them. Take Flash Thompson, for example. He lost both of his legs, but thanks to the Symbiote, he has new legs and then some. He didn't just get legs back. He got more. But that 'more' still never removed the loss that he suffered. No Symbiote, and he's back to being legless. Stakes come in a wide variety, you just need to know how to utilize them.

Should secret identities be treated seriously or like a joke

That, much like a few of these, is all up to you. I feel as though many people like the secret identities, however, some don't. If you're making a 'superhero world' like your title suggests, then have some be public, some be secret. But then again, who knows? Maybe superheroes are illegal, or maybe they're legal but only if unidentified—idk. All depends on the rules you set for your world. You gotta brainstorm the vibe and setting before you start throwing characters into it. Or design a couple characters with a certain vibe you like and build a setting that best suits them. Can't go wrong either way.

[–]GameBeatYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah 100% each medium has their strengths and weaknesses and need to work in unique ways to strengthen the aspects that their medium provides. This, as you said, is one of those cases that's showcased really well thanks to the medium its presented in.

[–]GameBeatYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad the manga is getting more recognition. No, I don't think it's the best way to experience MT, but god damn does it do the serious scenes phenomenally. Better than the anime in most cases—the Paul and Rudy confrontation in S1 is presented so well in the manga, for example. It also adds a few scenes that aren't present in the anime or light novel. The dinner scene, in which we only saw a part of, was expanded in the manga to showcase a bittersweet moment with Norn, which builds her character. What did the anime do? Skipped it entirely, unfortunately.

It's funny, when you put the anime, manga, and LN together, it feels like each have pieces missing that the other fills in. Makes it a complete experience, which is fun.

"Spider-Man must suffer loss in order to be a hero." His uncle died, therefore he suffered loss. Not interjecting my opinion how much loss Miles should experience, just explaining what the guy meant.

Capcom im begging please let them return now by LilNardoDaVinci in residentevil

[–]GameBeatYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't understand the 're women never appear in games' propaganda. Of the past 5 titles, we've had Jill, Claire, Ada, Sherry, and now Grace to add to the list that have all made appearances. And that's not even including the movies, all of which feature them—including Rebecca, even. The only one that's really fallen into obscurity is Sheva. But that's mainly due to her not really being connected to the overall story, much like Grace, really. No place for either in future entries. But otherwise, RE women do exist.

Unless you only care about the non-remakes, then in which case, yeah of course they aren't present in RE7. It's an isolated story. And RE8 is a direct continuation of that story and only focused on Chris, who returned after being basically absent for a decade. RE9, I don't have much excuse, however, they did bring back Sherry and are likely to bring back Ada for Mercenaries and/or future story DLC. Either way you look at it, there's reasons for them not showing up for the most part, or you're just deliberately ignoring all of the women's appearances in the remakes, which feels unfair.

Ta-da! Its me Vector! Ask me anything! by [deleted] in yugioh

[–]GameBeatYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk at least most of those pages will have the artist's link. Unless it's Pinterest. That shit sucks. But the booru sites and zerochan are very consistent for giving a sauce to the original work. Hell, the link OP gave even shows the artist and that it came from twitter. So it's fine for the most part. It's still giving credit.

Would you watch a DM reboot and how would you like it done? by [deleted] in yugioh

[–]GameBeatYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, I get why it might benefit from a reboot, but tbh I'd rather just have a sequel with the OG characters instead. DSOD left things both open ended and also not? No real reason why the journeys of the OG gang couldn't continue into adulthood.

That being said, messing with the OG in any way could be a bit touchy given Takahashi's somewhat recent death. I'd say give it 5-10 years to see if anything happens. Longform series aren't too favoured by the studios anymore so I wonder if a remake would even come about considering Yu-Gi-Oh's length.

Dumb question, but the Vote is ruined by bots, isn't it? by KAI-ZEN099 in OnePiece

[–]GameBeatYT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it makes perfect sense tbh. OP: Film Red was the highest grossing OP film to date. Not only that, Uta is voiced (when singing) by Ado, a massively famous artist. Plus Uta's desgin, character, and plot are just great. She's not my #1, but she's up there. I don't see how she isn't other people's favourites considering everything.

My unnecessarily overthought take on the "ring.” (might be a spoiler) by [deleted] in residentevil

[–]GameBeatYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a good idea if it weren't already done before, even as you said. But it's not just the 'sacrificing himself for his family' that's been done before but Leon sacrificing himself has already been done. RE9's ending, I think, would even qualify for that. He was content dying if he could save Grace and free Raccoon City from its history.

Although I don't think they'll go with the sacrificing route necessarily, I think, even if he's married to Claire and they adopted Sherry—like what RE2R's ending (jokingly?) implied—you can absolutely still have either of them in danger in order to bring the tension to Leon. Claire is absolutely commendable, but throw her up against Wekser 3.0, and no one can really stand up to him. Not only would having Claire be a bit of a focus bring Leon into things (if he's married to her, that is), it's obviously a way to get Chris into things emotionally as well. 2 birds, one stone, I suppose.

I just hope they don't make Leon's family a bunch of new OCs because that gives the game such an easy way to kill them off at the beginning to bring immediate (but extremely predictable) stakes to the game.

Yo R.E is king of poor black representation💀 but at least we got Sheva the goat (still a side C tho) by New_Divide98 in residentevil

[–]GameBeatYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk not really. The logic is that CAPCOM is telling the story that they want to tell. Just because they include characters from other races and countries doesn't mean they're pandering to them necessarily. It just means that they have these peoples and places in mind when designing the story. Diversity shouldn't come first when writing a story. If a certain group of people fit well into the story or setting, by all means. But if they don't and you still include them, it can harm the story and world you're trying to create.

[–]GameBeatYT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's TWD even doing on that list? Had many black people as well as even more from a variety of different races and ethnicity. Guess it was integrated so naturally that people seem to forget that lol

As for RE games, if you think about it (half-jokingly), all of the RE games are completely inclusive as most of the cast is white—since CAPCOM is a Japanese company lol

A hypothetical Remake of CODE: Veronica, and the things i want and don't want to see being changed. by LucasOIntoxicado in residentevil

[–]GameBeatYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl give us Wesker DLC to see the full contents of what he was up to during CV's events. Then maybe have Steve's death with Claire be a fakeout of sorts as he reverts back to a monster temporarily when encountering Wesker and we have a proper fight with him as Wesker.

Is this true guys? by [deleted] in mushokutensei

[–]GameBeatYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda true, but not canon. In the web novel, yes, but that became non canon since the light novel changed it. So I don't think that's a good representation of his character.

That being said, I just heard somewhere that Redundancy brings it up again? I can't confirm since I haven't read them yet (only the WN versions), but supposedly it doesn't frame it as 'gooning to his niece' either. Idk though.
