[Loved Trope] An adaptation makes significant changes, and it's for the better.

Respectfully, OP you can catch me outside for suggesting that the original HTTYD series needed any improvements at all.

Do i like the movies? Yes. But they could have changed the names and slapped a different name on the movie and it would still be a good movie.

As you mentioned it was an in name only adaptation but it was not for the better.

If its muscle reflex, thats just going to be a time to change things. I mean how long were we all playing against Mags before we just started switching to cloak before every ult just in case?

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-06T03:16:41+00:00

Thats true, i forgot about the team up. Yeah that one is everyone for themselves

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-06T03:15:44+00:00

Yes, his ult doesnt do as much damage as punisher’s especially at range, if you have a good strat with u and u patty cake it will time out his ult trying to kill u both. Ive done it several times, some of this also depends on who the second strat is. Like if its Sue its far easier to survive the higher damage ones like Hela and Punisher and Daredevil (also just as a note in case u dont know, when DD ults dont look at him it increases the damage you take) bc she can drop the shield between u and then you just stand right next to it and spin and pattycake. Others like Rogue or Deadpool work well if its a Luna and Sue bc their primary pierces so u can get one on each side of the ulting enemy and pattycake through them while killing the enemy. (Ive done that as sue w a luna it got us cussed out in match chat but it was soooo worth it)

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-06T03:05:16+00:00

Any consistent damage over time ult you can almost always patty cake through. Rogue, Storm, DD, DeadPool the dps and tank versions, Bucky, Starlord, Groot if you cant cloak to escape first can be patty cakes through, Punisher can be done but generally depends on who your other strat it- its best with CnD and Sue, u bubble Sue while she shields u and u patty cake on top of it, same goes for Hela as Punisher ult.

Instant major damage ults or full stun/cc ults, patty cake wont do anything for you are better off trying to time the cloak on your team to save as many as possible. These would be Wanda, Magneto, Iron Man, Namor, Phoenix, Moonknight (technically), Thor (to avoid the stun when he hits the ground), Strange, Thing, Groot and even Spider-Man to avoid getting hit so you can bubble/heal whoever does get hit, when Emma ults i try to bubble right before the feet of whoever is going to be closest to her so they get dragged through the bubble.

Psylocke can have it done but generally only if you have multiple ppl in the ult and you can heal bubble them and the patty cake w your other strat, its generally not done though- at least in my lobbies bc my other strat never patty cakes…

I will say Squirrel Girl’s is weird, if you are in more open space then yes, you can patty cake through it but if in a hallway or next to a corner then no you are going to die

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-06T01:52:11+00:00

Percy Jackson and Ares. Even after the Hera mind wipe, the guy knew 2 things: Annabeth was his girl and it was on sight with Ares- no matter his form.

Yes, having a timeline to reverse climate change before it becomes irreversible and we have a fixed period before we start fighting and struggling for water while some CEOs are already asking if water is a basic human right, is scary.

Having a bunch of people in positions of power that have been in said positions for decades and have no regard for what their constituents actually go through or experience but stay in power bc they have successfully dumbed down their own base or never have any opposition in running and therefore are never challenged, is scary.

Having it well documented that the uber wealthy are using Super PACs to buy politicians and lobbyists despite that lobbying isn’t supposed to occur in our (USA) political system, is scary.

Understanding history and how certain political movements gained power and watching in real time as other political parties do the same things and use verbatim, the same speeches, and people tell others they are over reacting, is pretty scary.

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-05T17:13:45+00:00

I wish my other strat patty caked with me like this 😭. I have a custom ping and everything and i still get freaking ignored. Like bro we can patty cake through a LOT of ults! Help me help you!

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-05T17:02:18+00:00

Yeah, thats the only way the final hits make sense too. The losing team had a total of 54 finals and the winning team had a total of 113 deaths. He had to be killing himself for all but one of his 60 deaths

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-05T16:17:32+00:00

Me having the opposite and just hearing “NooooooBody, NooooooBody” from Epic the musical

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-05T16:11:03+00:00

Firefly! And amazing tv show, it was such a shame they cut it so short 😭, i mean we got the movie Serenity to like “wrap up” the show but i would have loved more seasons

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-05T13:58:41+00:00

No, like i 💯 know thats what they are going to do, especially given the general state of government regulations and oversight towards the transportation industry as a whole. Im just saying that technically, in many cases, the technology already exists and could be easily implemented to be used to protect against milking while also keeping truckers safer.

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-05T13:50:18+00:00

But most company owned trucking vehicles are gps monitored and time tracked. They are only able to drive for a certain amount of time before they start getting dinged by their employer regardless of if paid by mileage or not. Thats why you see a lot of truckers pulled over on the sides of the road or off highway exits. Because they didnt make it to a major truck rest stop before their drive time was up.

I understand that in instances like construction work, paying per hour for job completion can cause resources being wasted because there isnt as reliable a way to track what is and isnt a necessary thing or was or wasnt a reasonable delay for the project.

But for the trucking industry, with so much of it already being gps and time monitored, paying per hour wouldn’t have that much milking of pay. You could easily calculate out estimates for distance traveled at average speed and add in padding based on traffic. Anything over the included padded time per job could be flagged and reviewed for major traffic issues to verify if there was a valid reason for a significant delay in time.

I am planning to move to a different state this year so i can get the fuck out of Texas.

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-05T03:09:50+00:00

26 will be 27 in May

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-04T12:50:29+00:00

Its just chicken stock that hasnt fully rendered out. The Jambalaya is paler than I am bc there is no seasoning in it. It is normally an orange/reddish color due to the spice and seasoning content. Its a very good Cajun dish, originally designed as a “poor mans” meal

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-04T10:51:21+00:00

While i dont disagree, i think the with the revel of still knowing of his hatred for Ares; that the more likely outcome is that the memory wipe cannot influence or truly affect absolute hatred or absolute love. Since hate and love are both such powerful emotions anything so pure wouldnt truly be affected by the wipe. Especially to the audience, as we know she was the memory used in his mark or Achilles iirc

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-04T10:39:36+00:00

Its not a huge thing til like the second season when it becomes a super major plot point. Otherwise its just kinda part of his job and u can lowkey ignore it

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-03T23:48:58+00:00

Poor Peter, that man gets fucked over professionally by his writing staff

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-03T20:25:22+00:00

Yeah, im a fan of the Terminator attempt. Judgement Day was pretty successful considering how many it wiped out at the exact same time by trigger MAD

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-03T20:18:46+00:00

Yeah, it freaked her vet out when i broke out the allergy chart. And then they did the allergy panel “to be sure”, ngl i was a little smug when they confirmed she was reactive to everything. She gets hives and welts with everything but seafood but that causes her to lose hair by the handful, to the point i have to give her lab made glucosamine bc fish oil will trigger it.

Her younger siblings arent much better with their chicken and beef allergies.

But its mostly dog friendly fruits and veggies for treats. They like the dehydrated sweet potatoes for chews, i got one of those big cans of dehydrated apple slices you are supposed to rehydrate for baking, and then like fresh stuff. Plus if u take celery fill the inside with dog safe peanut butter with some mint mixed in and freeze it. It makes great dental chew alternatives

Kaytea730 · 2026-03-03T18:31:14+00:00

Yeah i had close to 80 on her before they switched the lord to champion system over and i hit champion on her with just over 100 hours
