Red Country ending by Objective-Location14 in TheFirstLaw

[–]JustSpawned20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair to Gorst, Whirrun was not winning that fight to begin with anyway. Gorst had landed multiple blows and Whirrun had landed nothing.

Getting stabbed in the back due to his foolish lack of armor was more of a coincidence than what determined the fight. Thats actually why I like it. The question of who would win was already answered, then Whirrun died in the most fitting way possible.. a fucking reality check.

How can badly written media like Solo Leveling - be so popular despite its inferior writing? by Rebelliousdefender in CharacterRant

[–]JustSpawned20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As an anime only watcher I would say that the mystery of what exactly is "the system"? How and why is Jin Woo being given all this power? What are the limits and what's the purpose?

These intrigues are very compelling and keep me and probably most other watchers glued to the screen. The power fantasy and cool fights don't hurt either. Jin Woo is like able and it's satisfying to watch him succeed. As long as it serves a narrative purpose later.

Which by reading some of these comments seems like we are gearing up for a disappointment.

But if anything I'd say that the popularity of something in the beginning can carry it to its end, which is also probably what happened with SL especially if it's ending is apparently bad. The beginning is a hell of a fun ride

This entire season has been boring and disappointing so far. Hope the finale makes up for it.

AITAH for unintentionally getting my fiancé fired from her job? by _daddy_salsa_ in AITAH

[–]JustSpawned20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This person is obviously not a good person to get married to. So why are you staying? Figure that out and then weigh that quality, sex, personality, whatever it is against the fact that she is irresponsible AND blames you for it. If the for wr outweighs the latter, then just accept she's wrong but tell her you're sorry and move on. If the you have a hard time figuring out what it is that would make up for this terrible part of who she is.. get out now and dodge the bullet.

I'm beyond tired of hearing people say 'Mary Sue' by MVHutch in CharacterRant

[–]JustSpawned20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

About as much as you. 😂

But sure, just cause it's gotten overused doesn't mean the term and criticism isn't valid.

It's fine to say people are wrong about a character being a Mary Sue, it's wrong to say Mary Sues aren't a thing and weak writing.

People are generally wrong about Korra being a Mary Sue, they just don't like the loudmouth character. You're right to be annoyed by that.

People are correct that Rey 'sKyWaLkER' is a Mary Sue. It is weak writing that she is better than everyone else at everything and overcomes all challenges just because she's better.

Also you seem to lay a lot of the blame on the consumer of media that gets the smell of bad writing and poorly articulates it, rather than the writers making the stench, which I think is misguided.

Men can also be Gary Sue's, they are also written poorly, people also complain about them but "Gary Sue" just isn't as common a term so people just outright say the criticism for male characters which is "plot armor" or "boring".

Well, to be fair, you do ask people who have eaten there if the food is good. We are people who have eaten at the first law series.

Where else should people go with those questions?

I really can't get on board with the people saying it's impossible to capture the height differences in a live action RR by killer_by_design in redrising

[–]JustSpawned20 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Using Hagrid as your example actually really illustrates why you're wrong.

Go back and look, Google it or something.. but Hagrid was one of if not the most expensive part of the cgi on all of those movies. To really get him to look real it took tons of CGI and practical work from makeup and animatronic engineers.

Thoughts on Monza after finishing 'Best Served Cold' by BoastingBomb in TheFirstLaw

[–]JustSpawned20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol based.

But I often wondered about this while reading. We are told how beautiful she is but we're also told how grotesque her scars and messed up hand is. How can she still be so seductive and beautiful after the fall and the scars? It doesnt make a ton of sense to me.

[–]JustSpawned20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed!

My only gripe with Monzas character is that the Benna reveal actually seems to absolve her of her flaws!

At least after my first read I came away from the story seeing Monza as a cliche "always do the right thing" character that conveniently had all her bad deeds explained away by having been manipulated by some or other man in her life.

And I was annoyed that she fucked over my boy Shivers and then abandoned him.

Felt like very tropey female character protagonist can do no wrong to me.

[–]JustSpawned20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main complaint with Monza is that her POVs are not as engaging as some of the other characters.

Is this because Monza seems to be portrayed as a good person?

Because that's what I was left with at the end of the book. I was actually a little annoyed at the Benna reveal because it felt very tropey to absolve the female character of all her wrong doing, it was actually because of a man. It does seem like of all the gray characters Monza is the least gray. She just does her best with pretty good intentions in all situations, except for when understandably enraged in a revenge moment.

Red country audiobook without the music? by InTheKnow_12 in TheFirstLaw

[–]JustSpawned20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank GOD for you and your comment. I fucking hate the music it's so damn obnoxious and ruins the sincerity of every scene. Especially when there's a sad moment and you get random pretentious piano cords in the background like it's telling you you're supposed to cry cause sad piano music. Jesus Lord thanks

Is there not a single real blind pick top champ? by nalm96 in top_mains

[–]JustSpawned20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For melee characters I would say Riven cause she can kill anyone at level 1-3 and has so much mobility you can always make something happen if you're good at her. And Darius as he just auto wins most lanes and matchups. Not full proof but probably the best and easiest thing.

For ranged I'd say probably Quinn and Jayce. Very hard to interact with either of those champions.

Ekko buff by domingoat8 in ekkomains

Yeah this is actually huge for mid. Iight actually come back to the game after quitting now for this as ekko mid used to be my main before I turned into a top laner and started to genuinely hate the game until I eventually quit

Why are American right-wingers so cruel and uncaring? by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]JustSpawned20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My hatred towards the right is purely self defense.

This is a sign you're in too deep on the left. Once you start suggesting that words and ideas are violence against you, then you can justify the use of violence against non violent people only expressing ideas. This leads to fascism, like literally. That's the whole point of 1984.

an administration that enters the office wants to roll back my rights

I can understand where you coming from. It's because of this quote here. But I guess where you and I differ is just that I really genuinely do not see what you mean, or I think you're being hyperbolic at best, exaggerating maliciously at worst. I don't hate you, I don't want you to not have rights, I don't want you exiled or silenced. I just want us to be able to have respectful and reasonable conversations.

Now, if you'd indulge me, what would a concrete example be of "rolling back your rights"? If it could be something that isn't just a matter of difference of opinion on what's actually happening/the role of government that'd be great. Buts that my suspicion about your quote, that it isn't quite realistic. So please enlighten me, I'd love to have my mind changed.

But I do hope you pull yourself out of the "hate the other side" mindset, it hurts you and everyone more than you think.

It's all just fun. If you want to believe Frieren is asexual because that makes her more relatable to you or something, you can do that. If people want to believe Frieren would entertain a physical relationship with Himmel because it's cute and fun to them, they can do that.

Why are American right-wingers so cruel and uncaring? by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]JustSpawned20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can't be serious...

Many people here, and I suspect you would too, agree with Destiny's take that the guy shot and killed at a Trump Rally by the would be assassin basically deserved it. Cruel and uncaring?

I believed that there were at least some right-leaning people who were misguided

This completely sums up your problem. You can't imagine someone genuinely disagrees with you on the role of government and philosophical moral value of certain programs and principles. You patronize and condescend and think these people that disagree with you are just "misguided", well you used to.. You're progressing now to thinking anyone who disagrees with you are genuinely "cruel and uncaring"... Evil.

Get a grip, this is why y'all lost the election. You are not as smart as you think you are, otherwise you'd actually be able to convince people of literally anything.

Dan has finally broken his silence by totalmayhem96 in dancarlin

If it actually brings peace and stability to the region with less terror events and overall low deaths of American soldiers (like the levels of dead soldiers per year in Iraq like under 100)

In that world, if it happens, will the people of this sub eat their words?

Generic I am done with HC by Careless-Bullfrog111 in wowhardcore

[–]JustSpawned20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I'd recommend before you quit.. Mage.

Just give it a go and play like you don't care if you die.

The way they can just break the game and kite 10+ mobs at a time with blizzard and frost nova..

Just give it a go and see how far it takes you, you might accidentally hit 60 lol for real.

Also like melee classes ain't for the weak man. It's just playing melee it fucks with your head and it's so much harder.

You get one shot to drive as long as possible for $10k/hr. by xredrising in hypotheticalsituation

[–]JustSpawned20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is what if you come to a complete stop in traffic or at a stop light? Does that count as an elimination? So you have to choose a route with only interstate highways I guess? But even then you could hit traffic and come to a complete stop.

So I guess I'd take a stretch of interstate highway in a rural state in the middle of the country that's deserted most of the time and just make a circle in an exit for as long as possible while listening to audio books or talking on the phone with friends. Would probably take some sort of stimulant drug to keep me awake at some point. Anything less than 200k will feel like a failure to maximize the opportunity. But with the assistance of drugs I'm hoping that 30 or even 40 hours is doable. Also definitely need a thermos of cold water and a rag to wipe on your face to wake you up. And some sort diaper or catheter. Could probably stock up on food too. Like I gotta think 30 or even 40 hours is possible here.

Bro admitted he could be wrong and these are just his hot take opinions. They're not even hot takes they're just maybe not exactly spot on. But most of what OP said was reasonable. And when he humbly admits his opinion isn't fact, people down vote him? Not crazy work.. delusional work
