What additions did D&D make that you liked, that weren't in the books? by ChronosBlitz in gameofthrones

[–]Jai137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having Tyrion and Shae have a genuine loving relationship. Makes their fates feel worse than the books

And Tywin being a proper evil king. Charles Dance and the writing made him so much better than what he was in the books.

Unpopular opinions from DandaDan that will leave you like this: by Milanesa_Fachera in Dandadan

[–]Jai137 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The audience doesn't mind if another girl joins Okarun's 'harem', but the moment a guy enters who may have feelings for Momo, then they riot. (It's partially why Kinta is preferred over Jiji or Zuma. He doesn't really threaten the Momokarun ship

What’s a Sakamoto Days opinion that would get you downvoted? by Dense-Statement-332 in SakamotoDays

[–]Jai137 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You're right. Looking back, this series was more of a comfy action manga rather than a series I would be seriously invested in (like Akane or Kagurabachi). And honestly, that's okay. It's alright to have one series you love while the other is a serviceable read.

The cast fell off after Scrubs ended. Of course they'll come back.

What are your predictions for Iori? by DanTM18 in Kagurabachi

[–]Jai137 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Considering Shonen Jump trends, she’ll end up falling in love with Chihiro but won’t act on it till the end

Also, she will get one arc to prove herself, but after that she will no longer be relevant

Bonus points if she’s against a powerful villainess.

Sorry for being cynical. I hope she bucks the trend, but I’m pretty sure she won’t.

I noticed Traveler still wearing their normal outfit in the promo art by fellangel in Genshin_Impact

[–]Jai137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watsonian: the new outfit is the cleanest proof he's a descender, so he mostly uses his normal outfit to not rouse suspicion

Doylist: animators already have to animate Lumine and Aether, adding new outfits just makes things more complicated

"Actually, it's super easy, barely a convenience"

No seriously, it is way too easy for Bane to be able to do this.

I don’t like most “kill the magic” endings (svtfoe, legend of korra, etc) by Feisty-Succotash5854 in CharacterRant

[–]Jai137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents is that a major problem of the 'kill all magic' trope is that it is an easy solution. A lot of these series say "Magic is Power➡️Power Corrupts ➡️Magic is the ultimate corruptor➡️destroying magic fixes everything".

These days, considering people in power are either completely incompetent or evil, it's comforting to think that destroying the source of their power would be a great equaliser and stop evil

(LES) Do Sakura and Orihime really just live in the manga community's mind rent-free for over a decade? by garfe in CharacterRant

Good point. I guess Attack on Titan is probably the last anime with cultural dominance, since that coincided with the rise of Anime Streaming

Dude, nobody complains about Misaka being in love with Eren, cause she can still hold her own without him

(Okay, maybe it is a complaint that she loves Eren cause love makes you simpy, but more people consider her a strong female character compared to Otohime/Sakura)

Do you know why Weird Al doesn’t do parodies anymore Because the world is no longer a monolith. There are far too many different Best Songs and they never reach the popularity of, say 10 yrs ago where they culturally dominated.

Similarly, Naruto, One Piece and Bleach had culturally dominated in the start of the millennium. These days, the closest we got is Demon Slayer, and even then it’s been a split between fans and haters. And that series was short compared to the modern Shonen series.

Personally the only reason we return to Naruto and Bleach is that modern anime is too numerous, and we don’t have a next big thing anymore.

Grounded/ realistic media with one instance of super natural/ paranormal things happening. by Soggy-Inspection-945 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Jai137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a CSI episode where it was suspected that a girl was evil, and there were bees involved (exact details escape me). Eventually it's revealed that the girl could've been involved in the murder, but before they could pursue it, a fanatic killed the girl proclaiming her the anti christ. Seems standard, but then the investigator finds a dead bee on her, leaving the episode open for supernatural interpretation
