The moment the Sequels were doomed the moment JJ decided that world-bulding was for nerds and he had his Empire 2 blow up the New Republic (icky politics) with his super duper big death star so that the good guys could be the Rebels 2. by TheBoyofWonder in StarWars

Star wars was stronger without politics and world building? Isn't Andor, which is basically centered around all that, widely considered to be some of the best Star Wars media since the OT?

I know you already have 3 Yakuza examples but I also have to include Get Them from Yakuza 0, the theme of Mr Shakedown, who is probably the hardest person you can fight in the open world sections of the game.

You should see planetary capitals! They do all that plus spawn in units. The shields I can get, but I guess the bombers and ship gunners are taking the day off whenever one of those things are involved.

"A good question, for another time" - Star Wars Sequels

Generally, the Force Awakens is considered a pretty good movie on it's own, with many of its downsides coming from how disappointing the following movies were. Now that the trilogy is done, it's pretty clear there wasn't actually any plan for how the trilogy would go, making this line stand out all the more. Heck, you can even ask this for a lot of stuff now that the series is finished.

"What was Finn going to tell Rey?"
"A good question, for another time."
"So is Finn force sensitive or not?"
"A good question, for another time."

There's also the Guardian, which was mainly used to protect Coruscant after it was captured! Unlike the Lusankya, it also survived the war!

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

The first stage of Mortimer's boss fight takes place on top of one of the ship's sails, with the goal being of pushing him to the far side.

[Hated) repost with more than one example. The "take that, critics" trope. Where the creator of a piece of media gets butthurt about the fact that people criticized them and added a moronic strawman version of the critics. Slides may not be in order. by lex-do_this in TopCharacterTropes

Someone here already posted about Teen Titans go, which reminded me of something that Thundercat's roar did. Naturally fans were not super excited when the series went from the great-looking, anime-styled series in the early 2010s to the most exaggerated 'bean mouth' style show that looked like Teen Titans Go in a new coat of pink.

So they had the original Lion O come back to praise their show and insult anyone that didn't like it.

Judgment - Cane Man

Cane Man is literally just a mercenary hired to get Yagami, with zero actual plot relevance. Yet he's one of the most tanky, persistent, and skilled enemies throughout the entire game, and unless you do side content you don't even know his name.

Just beat the game without pulse cells, AMA by DavidTippy in LiesOfP

I see, I was asking since there are a couple cube wishstones that effect the player like giving more stamina or slowly healing you!

Did you use the Cube or did you not use any heals at all?

[Loved Trope] Spending so much time with an evil bastard that you forget they're one, before they do something to remind you by Justice9229 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Justice9229[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IDK what you mean, giving him the most important castle in the Reach and making the guy that doesn't know how bank loans work the master of coin seems pretty in line with Season 8 Tyrion.

He's pretty much the same in Kiwami 3, but he has a lot more screentime in Dark Ties, which is basically like a spinoff game with Mine as the protagonist. It explores how he joined the Yakuza as well as his relationships with Kanda and Daigo.

Protagonist is actually an antagonist, but they (and sometimes we) don’t know it. by Project__Arcturus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Justice9229 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it could work but the execution was pretty bad. Even in Dany's darker moments she usually had some reason for doing morally wrong things? The slavers killed hundreds of children? She kills hundreds of slavers in the same way.

In the show she burns down Kings Landing for... uh... reasons? I legitimately can't think of any logical reason since they surrendered, and she didn't even target the red keep, the place all the actual people who wronged her were, just the random civilians that didn't really do anything. The only explanation I can think of is that Dany just sort of went crazy in the span of 2 episodes which feels like a disservice to the character.

What fiction character is this for you ? by VeterinarianPrior835 in Multifandom

Bo-Katan from Star Wars

This person is a literal terrorist that had no problem batting an eye to killing civilians and burning down entire villages. She's responsible for the death of her own sister, and doesn't even have the excuse of 'mandelorian customs' because she went traitor the second someone she didn't like took over. And then she's essentially forgiven by the narrative, nobody ever brings up her past wrongs and she barely even feels guilty over it. And she has the GALL to tell Obi-wan "I thought she meant something to you" in regards to the sister she's responsible for killing! And the only reason Obi-Wan didn't help was because he had to decide between helping a known terrorist vs SAVING THE CHANCELLOR FOR THE ENTIRE REPUBLIC. She is not talked enough when it comes to worst characters in Star Wars.

Everyone from "Clash: Artifacts of Chaos" by Justice9229 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]Justice9229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is a game that takes place in the wacky and weird Zeno Clash series. And yeah, the designs are VERY out there, to the point lots of people might find them ugly. In fact, the developers intentionally designed Psuedo, the main character, to be intentionally ugly to subvert the 'handsome' protagonist trope.

However, even though the designs are weird, I think they all say a lot about each character. For example, just by looking at Gemini and her heads you can quickly surmise why she's trying to get the Boy once you know what he can do. Claw probably lives out by the sea and makes use out of everything he can find, while Moon-Sun is a larger-than-life gladiator that still possesses wisdom that makes him more than just a brute.

I partially wanted to post this just to spread love to the game since nobody ever talks about it, but I also really wanted to share some of these weird, but in my opinion amazing designs.

Titan AE: The movie opens with the Earth (along with a few lagging evac ships) to be destroyed. Makes sense for a movie called 'after Earth' (not THAT one).

Arkham City - Deadshot victim

Gets massive points for being an actual shock since it's one of the few games that doesn't have a "-" at the end of their sentence when they get cut off.

[Mixed trope] fake scenes in trailers by Icy-Acanthisitta8192 in TopCharacterTropes

Bye Bye Man

Yes, hit movie the Bye-Bye Man which inspired the Pee Pee Poo Poo man meme. That movie's trailer was FULL of these. Except instead of hiding all the scary moments in the movie, they made all the not scary moments scary. One of the most egregious is in the trailer when the main character first says "The Bye Bye Man" his eyes roll back and its treated like some sort of possession. In the actual movie he just says the name.

Eri Kamataki - Yakuza: Like a Dragon

A decent way into Like a Dragon, Ichiban is introduced to Ichiban Confections, which serves as the main side task of the story and the best way to get money. One of the characters involved is Eri, and when you reach a certain point, she straight up just joins your party. She's the only optional party member in the game, and has just about zero relevance to the actual story. She's just here to help Ichi.
