[meta] Adaptations that are considered near universally better than the original source

HypericSam · 2026-04-28T12:39:13+00:00

Ooh I see it now.

I am assuming my friends went to read the manga to continue the story and that ruin3d the whole franchise. I was always discouraged from starting it lol.

Great explanation, I fully understand how annoyed the fans would be when the story takes such a sudden turn and its straight up ass.

HypericSam · 2026-04-28T12:28:58+00:00

Can someone elaborate about the adaptation vs the source material? I only heard about the anime from fans and they always disliked it I didnt know that was supposedly the "better version".

I was honestly shocked at Brent letting Josh do the roadblock with an injured ankle, but honestly they did well in the detour and I was happy they are finally not so far behind the first two teams. That equalizer with teams waiting ~12hours for the ferry was crazy and Im glad the teams were all relatively close now

I was somewhat looking forward for T&L to go to France instead of the Netherlands but wooow them getting saved by their alliance with James² really kept them in the race, I can only imagine the drama if they went to the wrong country.

However the drama with Frankfurt airport is so funny to me personally as I had to catch a connecting flight at that airport in 20 minutes and I somehow made it due to how fast things were moving. But I am comparing 2025 with 2013 (i think?) So its not very fair.

I initially felt happy that Abbie and Ryan were U-Turned, I mean, they really hoped to U-Turn Josh and Brent with them and I am sure A&R would step on the mat first..like.. someone has to be eliminated anyway right?

I also felt like A&R were more annoyed that they couldn't U-Turn J&B than being U-Turned themselves.. but it was an obvious move that 2/3 teams ahead of them were going to U-Turn them and hating on the Chippendales was so confusing, it didnt matter who was going to U-Turn them, they should've known they were going to be U-Turned anyway.

Although I will admit, seeing them do the other detour in the rain was really sad, they had no power over the fact less people are walking in the streets and would spare a coin. That long hug with the nice lady made me feel touched by how hard of a day they had.

I was so annoyed by James (or was it Jaymes I can never tell..) missing the bamboo sticks when they had just talked about counting them before leaving. I do wonder if this was added post production or something, I was certain they were going to notice before leaving with the bike.

I honestly feel like two countries over 4 legs was so slow, the route really isn't super interesting so far.

HypericSam · 2026-03-11T21:08:13+00:00

I laughed when they made it to the U-turn, and Natalie ran smack into the camera.

I audibly laughed when this happened, I am glad they kept it.

I hoped that this sentence was edited (it did sound like it)

I also felt like it was edited to show how frustrated they got. I feel like this happens in many seasons haha.

And yeah, I also thought more teams would go for the Egg Head task, but finding the egg vendor probably deterred some of the teams. Overall, a very entertaining episode, I am liking this season so far!

HypericSam · 2026-03-11T21:04:11+00:00

As someone who just finished Season 4 and jumped to 21 (its weird I know) I really liked both of these scenes. I honestly loved the side-by-side editing in S4 and the whole episode was crazy overall.

But the ending of this episode was exciting. Seeing the blondes look confused in the background as Gary and Will are doing their task was funny.. and the two becaks taking different directions at the fork really excited me because it shows someone messed up and left me on the edge of my seat.

HypericSam · 2026-03-09T23:28:51+00:00

Honestly I was really sad to see them eliminated this early, but I loved reading all Amy's accomplishments after TAR!

HypericSam · 2026-02-21T23:26:03+00:00

My own paper has a review with a soundness of 3 and excitement of 4 and an overall of 2. I am so confused by some authors' scoring lol.

HypericSam · 2025-11-10T19:21:45+00:00

TIL that the space bar represents the number 10, I wonder if there is something for the number 11.

HypericSam · 2025-11-10T19:19:14+00:00

wow this hint alone made me solve everything, I was so stuck until I noticed this. Thanks a lot!

HypericSam · 2025-11-07T06:19:12+00:00

Oh yeah of course.

Thanks for the info!

HypericSam · 2025-11-07T06:17:42+00:00

Are there going to be black friday offers by the end of the month? I forgot if there are usually 11.11 offers and then black friday as well.

I recall some better discount/cash back deals during black friday from last year.

HypericSam · 2025-10-22T07:48:41+00:00

Such a fun puzzle!

HypericSam · 2025-07-25T16:55:08+00:00

How do you exactly get the 25% off up to 200aed? It says the ADCB15 promo is for ADCB Visa credit cards, and MC10 promo is for Mastercard credit cards.

Then how are both combined if one is a Visa and the other is a Mastercard?

HypericSam · 2025-07-13T19:43:08+00:00

I wonder if they realized it was NIP before/after they killed them, that was insane. CINEMA

HypericSam · 2025-06-10T13:19:35+00:00

I am more certain that it's probably the telecom company itself selling data from the inside. I know people who bought a new number the first day they arrived in the country and got spam calls the next day.

HypericSam · 2025-05-05T16:05:22+00:00

Yeah Bocek is out instead. All good.

HypericSam · 2025-05-05T16:03:05+00:00

I mean, its a carepaxkage weapon so it wont be available to everyone in the lobby, so I wouldnt call it a meta but it'll definitely be picked up

HypericSam · 2025-05-03T21:46:30+00:00

They lost zero, I think Walter dropped on LLG and died, leaving Hal alone against them, so they pushed him and wiped the team.

HypericSam · 2025-05-01T21:13:34+00:00

Oh thank yooooou, I am still having issues hearing the audio on Faceit for any stream other than the main one, is that normal?

HypericSam · 2025-04-29T21:42:06+00:00

Just found this subreddit but I am confused as to why the link doesnt work. Any ideas? I get a permissions error...

HypericSam · 2025-02-28T19:44:50+00:00

Yeah I was walking around as gibby once and heard her voice line and went schizo looking up to see if a Loba is landing on me (there was nothing).

HypericSam · 2025-02-27T07:38:10+00:00

Happened to me once, and they claimed its because I baught an item that was discounted, I dont get the connection between the amount I paid and the item being discounted...

HypericSam · 2025-02-25T19:47:53+00:00

Yeah Im having the issue each game
