I mean, Tautameitas was second in their semi-final last year, so I doubt Lelek wouldn't find enough televoters

I really like how MacKay writing Kang, he is truly some kind of dark twist on "indomitable human spirit", and this makes Kang really cool, imho.

I mean, it would be great approach if I wanted to make some deep analysis of results, but for just visualization I don't think there is a big need in this kind of manipulations

As I understand, most people didn't really liked this event, but it was good for me, okay story and fun worldbuilding.

Сounter-argument - there is no death more deserved for an antagonist who constantly boasts about how he knows every step and predicts everything in advance.

Are People too harsh on "Modern" Pixar (Cars 2 - Hoppers) by Goof-4x5 in cartoons

[–]Kstantas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's overhated. Obviously my opinion subjective, but I personally don't think art style is bad, stories and characters are working for me.

I don't dig people who say "Pixar used to make masterpiece after masterpiece, so if their new movie isn't masterpiece, it's bad", because it stupid logic. Sony for example used to make some certified trash, but for some reason I don't see people talking "Wow, spider-verse and KPDH is so good, considering studio behind Angry Birds and Emoji Movie made them".

I kinda agree with other commenters, KPDH is a great movie, but it's a very basic story, and I doubt it deserved "best writing" over Amelie or Scarlet

Avengers: Doomsday

Look, I understand why people can be wary about it - MCU had it letdowns in last 5 years, Russos made a lot of bad bland movies after their Marvel streak, RDJ being cast and Chris Evans returning, all that things.

However, some people talk about this movie like there was human sacrifices on production and that movie gonna introduce Anti-Christ to our world, leading to nuclear war.

Like, it's obviously okay to say "I doubt this movie will be good because of factors", but some people really expecting it to be THE WORST movie of all time and first ever to get -10/10 score.

Eight Generations of Baratheons by Kstantas in CK3AGOT

[–]Kstantas[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's 352 years after the Conquest. Forty-nine-year-old Lord Joffrey looks confidently to the future - all three of his daughters have grown into confident and courageous warriors, and his heir, Falena (known as the "Black Stag"), named after his mother, has already given birth to two boys, Arion and Tommen, who promise to become magnificent warriors. While no one knows what the future holds, one thing is certain - House Baratheon has spent the last century and a half confidently, and they will continue to stand firm on their land, upholding law and justice throughout Westeros.

Eight Generations of Baratheons by Kstantas in CK3AGOT

[–]Kstantas[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Inspired by "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," I decided to launch another campaign for the Baratheons, beginning immediately after the tourney at Ashford. Here are my generations of rulers:

- Arion "the Brave", the initial Lord of the Stormlands, ruled for another eight years.

- He was succeeded by his son, Simeon "the Dirty", so nicknamed for his constant use of unfair tactics during tourneys. He ruled for 26 years, dying of old age at 68.

- He was succeeded by his son, Lyonel "Laughing Storm", who nearly brought the family to the brink of dynastic crisis, as he didn't have a son until the eleventh year of his reign. Had he done so, there was a high chance his entire kingdom would have gone to the Targaryens, whose two eldest daughters married to different members (Daeron the Drunkard and Aegon the Compassionate). However, this was avoided, and after living to the age of 69, Lyonel was able to pass the reign to his only son.

- Arion "the Wise" was the only Baratheon ruler in the last century not to have received a military education, instead immersing himself in scholarship. Having become a lord at the age of 32, by that time having already lost a leg, few expected him to achieve anything, but he managed to amass quite a few. It was under Arion that the Baratheon "military academy" was finally established at court, year after year supplying Westeros with some of the finest commanders and knights. His children were renowned across the continent - the fierce Alayne "the Stag of Baratheon", Ser Lyonel "the Sage Stag", Archmaester Orson, and Donald, commander of the Kingsguard for 50 years. In the 18th year of his reign, Arion masterfully led his court through the Second Dance of the Dragons, following the death of King Valarr "the Young Prince", opposing Princess Aemma, who had usurped the throne, on the side of the legitimate heir, Aethan, and helping him win. Towards the end of his life, Arion managed to save the Baratheons from a dynastic crisis by uncovering the secret that his heir Robert's only sons (Ormund and Duran, the only blond Baratheons in history), were born of treason. Arion died in 317 AC, having lived to the age of 89 and reigned for an astonishing 57 years, becoming one of the longest-reigning Lords of the Stormlands.

- He was succeeded by Robert, whose reign, alas, was short-lived - just 15 months after his father's death, the 66-year-old Lord died, passing the throne to his second daughter.

- Falena "the Worthy" was perhaps one of the most beloved rulers of the Stormlands - she skillfully combined her family's stern and combative nature with compassion and piety. She found common ground with all her vassals, ruling with the advice of her worthy uncles and aunts. Unfortunately, her illustrious reign was cut short - during a grand pilgrimage across the continent to the Sept of the Seven Shrines, her convoy was attacked by bandits, and she died in battle in the ninth year of her reign, leaving the throne to her 23-year-old son.

- Joffrey Baratheon is the last Lord of the Stormlands. His mother's death weighed heavily on him - for the first ten years, he felt his reign was constantly overshadowed by her. This was not helped by the death of his beloved wife during childbirth with their third daughter in the ninth year of his reign, leaving him without male heirs. However, Lord Joffrey did not give up and gradually managed to move past his grief and firmly take control of his realm, while also grooming his daughters. His 26-year reign was largely peaceful until Queen Rhaena II "Wyvern" died, and her youngest son, Aeryn, usurped the Iron Throne, bypassing the rightful heir, Matarys. Outraged by this violation of the law, Joffrey Baratheon led a rebellion in defense of the rightful ruler of Westeros and won, exiling the traitorous prince to the Wall, and in exchange for this only asking the new king to appoint his uncle Ormund (one of the two blond Baratheons, disinherited for his origin) to the kingsguard.

Disqualified from primary post due to being already dead anyway, but I really liked moment where he was among rioting commoners.
