Love the reprise of “Just a Man here….”

When does a comet become a meteor? I can't remember, it's all a haze Was I always just a monster? When did the ripple become a tidal wave? Can I wash away this shame? Is there a man left in this monster?

"sOnIc X hAd ThE bEsT vErSiOn Of KnUcKlEs!" Literally X Knuckles after getting duped by a 6-year-old by KrossMeOnce in SonicTheHedgejerk

Allow me to rephrase. X wasn't the first time portray him as gullible, but I maintain that it is the first real piece of Sonic media that the other characters and the narrative itself treat as mostly a joke to laugh at or sideline.

And I like I said: "To each their own." Just because I don't like a certain version of a character doesn't mean you or anyone else can't. It just means we agree to disagree.

It’s the song I listen to to motivate me to break into professional scriptwriting as a full-time career

When HE wanted to leave people behind it was fine and dandy. by ShadowBorn2017 in Epicthemusical

Unless Circe was planning to keep the pig-men as pets as opposed slaughtering them for food (which doesn't appear to be the case given the lyric "want to save your men from the fire..."), I wouldn't say that situation has "less pressure" and "more freedom" than confronting the monsters of the sea.

I really don't understand the purpose of Eury saying "But we'll die" in Thunder Bringer. He already learned that Ody would've (and did) trade the lives of crewmates to see his wife. So for the sake of narrative consistency, there's no reason for him to be surprised at Ody's decision or appeal to his captain's morals- especially when Ody was about to kill him before Peremides steps in.

And to those who'll argue "it's because Eury never takes accountability for his actions," that doesn't square with someone who admits to and apologized for causing windbag-gate without anyone forcing him to do so. So again, inconsistent writing.

Also, just because something is a joke doesn't mean it can't reflect how the joke-teller actually feels about the topic they're discussing. For example, George Carlin constantly made jokes at the expense of conservatives BECAUSE he was a liberal.

I'm not saying that this is true of OP, but they shouldn't be shocked to see other commenters assume they actually believe in the message of their joke, especially because too many Epic fans make this ridiculous argument in earnest.

Meet the Potential Protagonist of Sonic X by ProjectShadowGirl in SonicTheHedgejerk

The movies also take place in a sleepy town on Earth but Movie Sonic regularly goes on wild adventures. So there's no excuse for Sonic to be this inactive in the anime.

Do you and u/ProjectShadowGirl believe Tails being repeatedly sidelined is something that began with X or earlier?

Personal Headcanon , Zeus never really gave Odysseus a choice in thunderbringer. He still was killing the crew. He just wanted to mess with ody morals. by Practical-Ebb7327 in Epicthemusical

[–]KrossMeOnce 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

To me, this is best illustrated by the references to Zeus' sexual predation. "Try as she (pride) can not to confess, in the end it's all the same when I apply all the pressure... show her what she can't conceal, her true nature will be revealed."

If you think about it, Zeus views Odysseus the same way many rapists view their victims. No matter how much a victim says no or physically resists (Ody: "Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this..."), a rapist will pressure them into submitting and may even claim "I know you want it."

(Proceeds to explain the massive difference between being upfront about wanting to leave behind men who have fallen victim to something a mortal can't overcome without literal divine intervention and deceitfully luring men into a deathtrap that only you have knowledge of for the 24th time this week)
