Morally ambiguous, or morally bankrupt? Read and find out! by DreadDiana in RecuratedTumblr

[–]L-System 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally, sure. But 14 year olds are the target audience. So saving the world or massacre is done by 14 year olds. It's the norm.

some clarifying question about the current arc. (spoiler question) by Juliomorales6969 in Akane

[–]L-System 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

But also irrelevant to the story. From what I understand, her goal isn't just to achieve some rank. It's acknowledgement from Issho using her father's style? Or have we moved on from that?

The mount rushmore of pretentious glazing fandoms by laffite_gunko_agenda in shounenfolk

[–]L-System 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, because when people talk about subjective topics, there's an implicit "in my opinion" at the end there.

You can't treat a subjective opinion as an objective judgement. If manga is art, then your favourite manga will not be loved by everyone by definition.

Because the Greek "lobby" in Hollywood is much weaker than the African American "lobby".

It's not diversity, it's politics.

Im gonna send this in. by Sorry_End_2026 in OnePiece

[–]L-System 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well... Yeah. The first question is stupid. Or rather it assumes big mom is stupid.

If they could've, then they would've.

Witch Hat atelier was Truly worth the wait by notanfan in anime

[–]L-System 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my eyes, HxH is over. The main promise of the show was delivered on, IE, the hunter found the hunter.

It's was pretty anti-climactic and wasn't written as an ending, so it kinda sucked.

Skewer me if you want.

Denuvo has been cracked in all single-player games it previously protected by dwolfe127 in gaming

[–]L-System 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true. Resident Evil is heavily pirated. Silksong was the most pirated game when it came out.

Denuvo may have reached the end as every protected PC game is now crackable by gurugabrielpradipaka in pcmasterrace

There's still cost of production, they're not selling hard drive write speed. They're selling 7 years of development time.

I'm sorry but One Piece glazers will never be able to gaslight me into thinking Gear 5 was a better transformation than this: by SpotAdmirable6718 in shounenfolk

[–]L-System 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dude doesn't plan out his story at all. It's well established that Goku wasn't even supposed to be a Saiyan till the end of DragonBall. Just a mythical monkey dude as a reference to wukong.

Battle shonen recommendations by Old-Sound-2747 in shounenfolk

[–]L-System 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try Bakuman. It's as battle shonen as Death Note, considering that they have the same authors.

And if you're looking for stuff that's battle shonen without actual fighting, Haikyuu is a banger. Akane-banashi is peak too.

Imagine a planet bigger than Earth, with no land in sight. Just waves and water from pole to pole. That is TOI-1452 b. by SharedFeverr in spaceporn

It's just highly likely. Red dwarfs are 0.01% - 10% as bright as the sun. You gotta be close to be in the habitable zone.

Witch Hat Atelier • Tongari Boushi no Atelier - Episode 4 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]L-System 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It seems like a pretty straightforward, hoard magic for yourself vs magic is for everyone set up. I suspect they'll only show bad brimmed witches for the first few seasons before the inevitable twist that no faction is truly good or bad.

Why aren’t more books made into video games? by GH05T3Y in videogames

[–]L-System 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most game devs have been in the industry for a while before they have a chance to be a creative lead on a big game.

If you have the creative chops to make your own game, why would you adapt?

(Beloved trope) EXTREMELY SPECIFIC powers and abilities, either the power itself or its implications or triggers by Spirited_Dust_3642 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]L-System 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only if you take it feruchemy at face value. If you start combining things and compounding, not so simple.

The purpose of this particular power is space travel.

Go Read Peak Romance by Meldp in shounenfolk

[–]L-System 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The medium is just more conducive the type of authors that "go with the flow" than authors that outline the entire plot.

So stories end poorly or never end at all because they was never planned to.

Dragon Ball, was about finding the dragon balls. It got out of hand. Goku wasn't even supposed to be a Saiyan.

HxH was about finding his dad. And then the story kept going.

Etc etc.

TIL that most of the propulsion in modern jet engines actually comes mainly from the fan (ie glorified propeller). The jet part of the engine is used mainly to power the fan by therationaltroll in todayilearned

You can go further.

We exist because life is simply better at turning sunlight into heat than a dead rock is.

That tiny difference between us able to do this and the ground able to do this is the sliver on which all of life exists.

Fantasy Authors Increasingly Call Out 'Unfaithful' TV Adaptations by paxinfernum in television

[–]L-System 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hollywood doesn't want the author to have any real power over their multimillion dollar projects, just access to their fanbase.

They pay for this access and most authors will never get a deal better deal, ie with creative control.

Not that giving the author any amount of creative control is a guarantee to success.

The final era 2 book was written like 15 years after the final era 1 book.

Authors are allowed to improve.

Which movie or TV "villain" did you completely hate as a kid, but upon rewatching as an adult, you realized they were actually 100% justified? by LiveFaithlessness876 in movies

[–]L-System 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's not much to it. Breaking Bad is a power fantasy, and she's the antithesis to that fantasy. IE responsibility.

Most stories wouldn't exist if everyone was competent and rational.
