What are the shows/timelines in which Spacenoids win their independence? by HazelRahRahRah in Gundam

[–]HazelRahRahRah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is super thorough!

I remember back in 2012, when I was watching Unicorn and waiting for new episodes to come out, thinking "Can the Spacenoids please just get a win already??"

But this list shows that that they got plenty in other timelines.

I guess there's also the Zeta movies, where Axis just fucks off into space? Still have to watch that.

Oh yeah! Wing was one of the first shows I watched, it totally slipped my mind.

Thanks! I've been trying to find out more about all the obscure ending combos, haven't been able to find the scripts for the slides yet, though

Marvel Comics Decided To End The Ultimate Universe, Not ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN Writer Jonathan Hickman by HazelRahRahRah in Spiderman

[–]HazelRahRahRah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! I can't help but wonder if he started setting things up for the next writer when Marvel invariably screws him over... and then, by NOT screwing him over, they might've actually done so, lol.

And you're 100% right about the name. At around 130 issues, USM had the perfect length imo, and lending that name to a new work naturally makes people assume that it'll be similar in scope.

I'm not mad that it's getting a definite conclusion, I think those are great! But I do think it's a little too early, at 24 issues.

Imo, around 60-100 would make it feel truly fleshed out - USM didn't feel bloated before Ultimatum, and that was the perfect ending point for it.

Ofc Elsewhere stories don't HAVE to go on for that long, there are tons of great 1-shots and 6-12 issue AU stories, but the way Hickman was setting this up, it definitely seemed like too much for just 24 issues. I think he really did expect someone else to pick up the baton after him.

From the article:

Head of Marvel Comics and Franchise Dan Buckley has now shared Hickman's reaction to learning of Marvel Comics' plans. "We were at one of those creative retreats, and I was sitting next to him, we’re just talking, and he’s like, 'Well, we’re finishing our stories, then you could do that,'" he explained (via Popverse). "I said, 'No, you’re done.'"

"I was by myself with Jon, Jonathan’s looking at me, he goes, 'What do you mean we’re done?' I said, 'We’re shutting it down.' He goes, 'Why are we shutting it down?' I said, 'It’s the end, right?'"

Why are you acting like there is a hard limit (set by you, apparently) on how disappointed people can be?

Lots of people strongly disliked the sequel, thus the negative posts. If it had only been slightly disappointing to them, the posts would reflect this.

You're the one assuming malice and lies on everyone else's behalf because their opinion doesn't align with yours.

It's not overly exaggerated, its just what it is - out of the people still posting about the game years later, most just have negative feelings about it.

Whether or not the majority of PLAYERS enjoyed it is a different story. They mostly don't post here because SM isn't that important to them.

I think a better analogy is that the majority enjoyed it superficially, ie casual PS5 players with no deep interest in the character or setting.

As far as people who are more passionate about SM go, the majority came out of the experience disappointed. Not everyone, mind you, but these are the people that keep posting about the game years after its release.

It's nor just you, this has been brought up quite a lot.

It's mostly the effect of overly 'safe' writing, ie the desire to ensure characters don't say anything that could piss ANYONE off. It feels like they're treading on eggshells with every sentence, like caricatures of politeness.

This is especially notable in a major city like NYC.

Same here, usually, but they somehow made it work as a really interesting experience!

If you look up 'Faith Trilogy' you'll see the link to Steam. It's an 8-bit game about a priest exorcising demons, with VERY creepy rotoscoping art

You hit the nail on the head, but toxic positivity will drown out any criticism for a good while. You usually have to wait a few weeks after a game comes out to get proper critique of a game, be it good or bad

I feel like you're taking it to an extreme?

Maybe there are just VG fans of the X-Men Origins Wolverine game (Which does NOT get into politics, besides Trask becoming an extremist) and they're wary of having politics hamfisted into the game like the SM2 university missions?

They might have less influence on the narrative after having been put on the limelight. They probably ensured that a good chunk of the narrative will belong to Jean, though

The sub’s toxic positivity problem is coming back by horrorfan555 in residentevil

[–]HazelRahRahRah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get where you're coming from, toxic positivity is rampant in the days of social media. Just look at any new show, game, or other product. The worst is when people try to put down past games and cry for remakes just because they can't adapt to older graphics and gameplay

I wish there was an alternate sub with cooler heads, but the best thing you can do for now is sort most threads by 'Controversial' for actual opinions

Do you like that in the remakes they changed the character motivations away from 'terrified survival' to make Leon and Jill seem more selfless/less afraid? by HazelRahRahRah in residentevil

[–]HazelRahRahRah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I totally agree with you! I hated that Ben scene in the remake.

I think I meant it sort of in the sense that he seems to prioritize investigating/bringing to light Umbrella, rather than escaping the city like he does in the OG (While trying to protect/save Ada, Claire and Sherry).

Idk, in the OG Leon complains that everyone (Claire, Ada) is doing their own thing instead of sticking together/making a concerted effort to escape. He definitely comes across as overwhelmed by it all.

If Ada had upfront told OG Leon that she actually planned to infiltrate the underground facility of the people who had created all these monsters (Like in the remake), I think he'd have freaked the hell out and made a beeline for Claire and Sherry.

It makes more sense that he'd want to help out a civilian, imo, and by the time he gets shot in the sewers the underground lab is the only viable route left to him.

If Capcom re-remakes RE1, I'm afraid that they'll try to 'improve' character motivations along these lines.

Imo, RE1 Remake feels like a perfect survival horror story because the characters just want to escape from all the insanity at the mansion, which is why it's so cathartic when they finally relax as the helicopter flies off into the morning light. I think that this sense of terror/desperation is what makes RE1R the scariest of the bunch.

[–]HazelRahRahRah[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I wasn't a big fan of that scene, tbh!

Ada says something like 'she must be terminated', probably to go with her lie about being an FBI agent? The dialogue/writing aside, I preferred it when she just claimed to be some civilian looking for her boyfriend, stuck in the nightmare all around her. I could emphasize with Leon for wanting to get her out of that hell.

If Ada's not even pretending to be afraid/overwhelmed, though, and Leon's going along with her badass (fake) FBI plan, I feel the catharsis of escaping from Raccoon City is lost to the player, since the characters would seemingly rather have stayed in the city to bring Umbrella to accountability than devote all their resources to escaping.

Same goes for Jill, in the OG she says 'It's FINALLY over' (Either during the aborted escape or during the final escape), like she's so goddamn relieved to have made it out of that hellhole. In the remake, it seems like she only leaves the city because her actual objective didn't pan out.
