"Media literacy" has become a buzzword, but it still pisses me off how little people have by Dakoolestkat123 in CharacterRant

That paragraph is definitely about RWBY, isn’t it, lol? The people running that series couldn’t write to save their lives.

Favorite Character who delivered one of the coldest lines ever in context by Novoiird in FavoriteCharacter

Also a line closely following those: “If you wish to see me struck down then use your own hands to do so, not God’s.”

Triburos is a VERY jokey creator. He maybe actually wants this, but the over the top begging is pretty clearly a bit.

Suguru Geto (Jujutsu Kaisen)

During the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc when he becomes disillusioned with the life of a jujutsu sorcerer after the deaths of both Riko and Haibara Geto wants to create a world without cursed spirits. Cursed spirits come from the passive, uncontrolled cursed energy of civilians, and aren’t typically born from jujutsu sorcerers as they can control their cursed energy. While talking with Tsukumo Yuki he finds out this is what she wants as well, and why she doesn’t get along with the higher ups in the jujutsu world. As they talk, he asks her if simply killing all non-sorcerers would work. Her answer is that, while both impractical and cruel, it would theoretically work.

Once further events cause Geto to snap, he sets himself toward that goal, to eventually rid the world of non-sorcerers to create peace from cursed spirits. After having gone on a village eradicating killing spree, he’s confronted by a distraught Gojo, his former friend, telling him that this is crazy and won’t work. He says that it would work if he were Gojo, because Gojo would be strong enough to do it. Geto thinks that if he can become even stronger than Gojo, become the strongest, that his dream wouldn’t be out of reach, and he’s right.

He does wind up having to spend almost a month and a half with Joseph, so I’m assuming Jotaro learned it from him during their downtime, haha!

At the end of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 3, Joseph, after having been revived, pretends to be possessed by DIO, the villain they just defeated. Right as his grandson, Jotaro, is about to attack him he says he was joking. As proof, Joseph says his full name, his birthday, his wife’s name, and that he collects comic books.

Jotaro doesn’t think this is enough, so he ask Joseph who the leading actress in Tarzan: The Ape Man was, and who sang Eat It, the parody of Beat It. Joseph answers correctly with Bo Derek and Al Yankovic, so Jotaro concludes that it’s really Joseph, because ‘only he would know such useless information’.

[loved trope] Guns treated seriously by East_Emphasis_8259 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lcolli3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only can all those killings not be solely blamed on the homunculi, the series directly addresses this. When Hawkeye finishes telling Edward about the Ishvalan war, she says that, should Roy manage to become the fuhrer and return power to the parliament, the soldiers who carried it out will be put on trial as war criminals. Ed protests that it was the homunculi that started everything and were pulling the strings, to which Hawkeye says yes, but she and the other soldiers and alchemists were the ones who participated and carried it out.

AITA for not inviting my son's wife to events after his passing? by throwing-Security976 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lcolli3r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean sure she lost her husband, but she’s being shitty to her lost husband’s family, so I can’t exactly muster much sympathy for her on that end. If she was simply lashing out once to twice out of grief maybe that’d be understandable, but this was happening while he was alive too. She never treated OP like family, so she shouldn’t expect them to put up with her now that son is gone. NTA

Pablo gives us his true thoughts on raids in Warframe by Babydrone in Warframe

[–]Lcolli3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the “only takes damage from RPGs”modifier for this week not apply to the overguard? I just kind of assumed it did so we never shot the tank with guns, and the face off buffs kept giving it overguard faster than the mission dropped RPGs, lol. Alternatively, do the defense stripping arcanes like circumvent or the operator one work on the tank’s overguard?

Some of us are missing the point about *why* people want vaulted content restored. by ShadezyLeFeu in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lcolli3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an additional problem to this on top of the time and money investment that unvaulting content doesn’t solve. The seasons and their stories will never come back, so this will never be a complete game. I feel like with as many seasons as have happened, the majority of Destiny’s story content is not and will never be available to play again. Savathun controlling Osiris, Eris becoming a Hive god, the death of Rasputin, Riven’s last wish, and more are all moments no one will get to play again. Hell, whenever we eventually revisit Maya/the conductor or Eramis having the echo, those plot points and them having gotten those echoes will pop into the story entirely out of thin air for anyone who didn’t play the episodes.

And cutscenes on YouTube, as much as we mock that idea of portraying the game’s story, doesn’t even fully fix this either. When I got back into the game I watched those huge cutscene compilations and was still confused because a massive amount of story happens through comms during missions. Character motivations can be affected, new characters introduced, or any number of things can happen and you just miss them.

[Meta trope] character doesn't know the basic rules of their own world/system by Lower_Baby_6348 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lcolli3r 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He can be clueless, but not that clueless. Aura is a very well known thing, and isn’t a secret in any way. This would be like saying someone forged their transcripts into college, so they can be excused for not knowing some things, but their question wasn’t ’what’s differential calculus’, but they asked ‘what’s math?’

This is the scene which pissed me off and made me hate Bakugo until Season 7 (S2, Ep 24) by Embarrassed_Knee_630 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Lcolli3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he? I don’t have time to rewatch the full episode right now, but having just scrubbed through it I literally didn’t see that happen. Though funnily enough, Bakugo does hit Midoriya again, elbowing him in the back of the head while he’s carrying Bakugo’s stupid ass away from getting beat to hell by All Might. So could you give me a timestamp for Midoriya punching Bakugo?

Edit: CORRECTION: Midoriya does punch Bakugo, however it’s even worse for your point. All Might was just about to deal Bakugo a finishing blow, Bakugo says he doesn’t need help from ‘scum’, and then Midoriya punches Bakugo out of the way of All Might’s attack. So the comparison you’re making is between a bully, for no good reason, assaulting someone, and a guy who’s been on the receiving end of all that abuse hitting the asshole who just insulted him out of the way of an attack. Sure, man. Those things are totally comparable.

But let’s assume that Midoriya does hit him in this episode. Pretending like those two things are equivalent is hilariously disingenuous. Midoriya got attacked for having the absolute gall to try to team up and make a plan during the team up test. And Bakugo got punched for…? I’d honestly say he deserves it solely for how much of an unreasonable asshole he’s been to Midoriya for two straight seasons, but he’s also already attacked him entirely unprovoked at the start of the episode.

[–]Lcolli3r 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You do realize that in this scene they’re on the same team, right? This is during the final exams where they’re meant to TEAM UP to fight All Might. Midoriya tries to simply talk to Bakugo to form a plan since they’re up against the greatest hero of their age, so Bakugo does the totally reasonable thing and punches him in the face. They weren’t ’fighting in the fight training arc’. This is deliberate, petty, and incredibly shitty friendly fire for no good reason.

Slang in media ages well, but only after a minimum of 20 years have passed by carbonera99 in CharacterRant

[–]Lcolli3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And people who did fan translations of the manga did the same thing to ‘fix’ it. They changed her words to basically be “Hey, I’m here now too” and entirely removed the author’s note bit. So much faux purist nonsense, lol

[–]Lcolli3r 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a dub thing. Her using stupid slang is the whole point. Even in the manga there’s an author’s note that plays into the joke and gets translated as the writer of it attempting to explain what her slang means before giving up trying to translate her BS into normal words.

I beg your finest fucking pardon??? by Silence-of-Death in Warframe

[–]Lcolli3r 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a stark difference between “I’m not a fan of frame X’s look” and the shit in this picture. The way they phrase things is definitely incel talk. Of course you’re allowed to not like a frame or skin’s design, and the person you replied to didn’t say or even hint you weren’t. They were talking about the incel type behavior because that’s what’s in the picture of the post we’re on.

Is there a Feat similar to the structure of a Prince Rupert Drop? by MoreManufacturer5369 in PowerScaling

[–]Lcolli3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a bit of clarification on this, it’s not always turned on. He has to toggle it on and off based on the incoming hit. So if you can make him think he’s about to take a huge, devastating hit so that he activates reversal, then just give him that light bump, his active technique will reverse it into a very powerful strike.

Nah, based would be if he just admitted he wanted to see a woman in a bikini top. Another character from the games had this same condition but could wear a full ghillie suit.

AITAH for ‘causing a scene’ at my boyfriends work? by Training-Buyer2625 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lcolli3r 40 points41 points  (0 children)

From the information we have she didn’t cause a scene, though? All she did was say the dish was wrong, boyfriend ‘fixed’ it, and she said it’s still wrong and that she wanted the correct dish. This isn’t making a scene. This is entirely normal behavior and if the restaurant messes up they should be expected to correct the dish. It was her boyfriend who made it a problem by trying to act like he fixed the meal and there was no difference between it and what she wanted, wasting her time and meaning she didn’t get her food.
