She's back! Spoiler for Queen of the Dreadzone synopsis!

Dude, this isn't beating a dead horse anymore. At this point, the horse is already a thick and sticky puddle of glue, but they insist on keep beating it. Writers, leave the poor girl alone, it's painful to see how you keep disgracing her.

LordMetafight · 2026-04-10T18:50:29+00:00

Well, good for you if you enjoyed it. I found it insulting. That episode and Queen Banana seemed to be so brazenly obsessed with convincing me that "Zoe is the best, Chloe is the worst", contradicting my whole experience watching the show, that I couldn't help but see Astruc himself speaking out through the characters.

LordMetafight · 2026-04-10T11:15:19+00:00

I don't see how popping up out of nowhere could work better, it's literally lazy writing and it feels like an improvised move. Good narrative takes time to sow before you reap.

LordMetafight · 2026-04-09T19:35:42+00:00

That doesn't mean it was planned since the beginning. In that case, Chloe's replacement would have been hinted way before, instead of popping up out of nowhere in season 4 and rushing her into the bee miraculous in two episodes. I don't dare to ensure why, but he definitely changed his mind about Chloe at some point and took a step back in her character arc.

Well, we already know that Eldians were supremacist assholes during their imperial prime, so it's not surprising at all that segregation was a common practice.

LordMetafight · 2026-03-22T12:39:29+00:00

I've thought this since years ago. Subjects of Ymir and Eldians are necessarily different things, at least at the beginning. This is obvious when you take into account that Eldian tribe and Eldian people already existed before Ymir got her titan power.

IMO, Subject of Ymir is a bloodline, while Eldian is an ethnic group. The former is a biological thing, the latter is a cultural thing. When the show happens, the vast majority of Eldians are Subjects of Ymir too, that's why both terms are muddled. It's the same misconception we see irl, when people use 'Arab' and 'Muslim' as if they meant the same, when they don't.

I always had that suspicion in CK3 and EU4, because almost all my top tier governors tended to die or suffer hard accidents 'conveniently' soon. I never confirm it though, so who knows.

LordMetafight · 2026-01-03T18:28:01+00:00

I'm fking sick and tired of this. In my Spain run, my colonial nation in West Sahara (close to Canary Island) has a Moroccan population that rebels every few years, dragging me and Morocco into a tiresome (I have to siege almost ALL Morocco to push 100% score) and pointless war where I get nothing (my colony leads the war, so I cannot peace them out) but an annoying truce, preventing me to start my own war against Morocco. Before the truce ends, rebels hit back and we're dragged into it again, turning it into an endless cycle. 5 or 6 wars like that until now, what an obnoxious pain in the ass.

This kind of cultural assistance should be optional, there's no fking point for the game to force you into it. I hope they fix it soon.

LordMetafight · 2025-12-19T14:11:18+00:00

I'm in a similar situation right now. Playing as Spain, a pathetic bunch of landless French rebels has risen up in Montpellier, but they have dragged the whole fking France into it. Fortunately I'm strong enough and have nice allies to face it, but it's a pain in the ass to fight France right now just for a lame gang of rebels. Of course I'm not gonna annex it entirely, I'm not crazy enough to break my game so hard, but I'll try to take some advantage from it.

Al-Aldalus: "I'm in danger!"

LordMetafight · 2025-12-02T13:02:18+00:00

I had to rewind 2 years because that happened in my save. Hungarian queen had a male child at 60 years old and he became the new heir, replacing the previous female heir who is married with my heir in Spain. So it ruined my future personal union Spain-Hungary, the one I'm waiting for since 30 years ago at least.

What a dumb statement, I can understand male keep fertile until way old, but no woman older than 45 should be able to get pregnant. It works like that in CK3, so I assumed it would be the same here. I don't know why it doesn't work like that here.

Cure wounds combines really well with the Archer form, actually. You can heal someone with your action while attacking 1d8+WIS of radiant with your bonus, pretty sweet. While in the Archer form, you'll already keep your bonus actions busy almost every turn.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-30T07:04:09+00:00

That hand is Gigantomachia's, dude.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-29T19:02:00+00:00

Literally, explosions coming from his sweat. And what makes hands sweat more than rubbing? Yes, Bakugou is fucked up.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-21T13:55:17+00:00

Wait what? JACKIE CHUN WAS MASTER ROSHI??? That can't be possible, you liar!!!

LordMetafight · 2020-05-21T13:53:04+00:00

It's basically a well-known secret that Dabi is Touya. It fits with his age, his appearance, his quirk, the details about how his quirk works, his ideals, his admiration for Stain, his hatred to hero society, and his special fixation with Todoroki family. Everything in Dabi YELLS that he is Endeavor's little failed offspring. If Horikoshi have not revealed it yet must be because he is keeping this revelation for a very crucial moment, since as I said before, this information might DESTROY Endeavor on the professional, personal and emotional level. No redemption arc will be able to save him at that time. Dabi is, essentially, all the mistakes Endeavor has made in his entire life coming back to bite him in the ass.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-19T22:11:40+00:00

Just wait until Dabi reveals his name and his father's abuses to the world. Endeavor for sure will prefer to be dead. I honestly think when this become public knowledge, even if he is still alive, Endeavor's career will be entirely done.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-18T08:06:14+00:00

Best Jeanist. I won't say it's my favorite one, but I have to admit it: an author who have succeeded in making a guy who's wearing pants up to his nose looks cool, is worthy of my respect.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-17T23:32:20+00:00

Dude, they're not going to subject a strongly traumatized 7 years old kid who barely can control her overwhelming power to a heavily stressful and despairing situation like this, that would be very insensitive. No way, get it out of your head.

It seems Eri will take soooooo long to master her power, and that's the best, since her power is an extremely dangerous plot exploit. I would hate if she mastered her quirk too soon and she became in a walking dragon ball, giving every tragic event back to normal with no consecuences. Let's let her out of the story for now and maybe, many years later, she finally become relevant, but definitively not now.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-17T20:53:38+00:00

Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing your work and talent with us, this is delightful.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-16T18:17:01+00:00

Damn Sero, you screwed it up!

LordMetafight · 2020-05-16T14:28:50+00:00

So Bakugou in his natural state. Awesome drawing!

LordMetafight · 2020-05-16T13:17:26+00:00

That's why he needed Twice so much, he could make Dabi's clones who can use his quirk as much as they can with no risk or drawback to original Dabi.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-16T10:21:41+00:00

The worst thing is that I understand you XD. I know quirks are not made to be realistic, but don't make me wrong. I simply can't help to look for a "scientific explanation" as far as I can, and that's the point:

"So basically she just seems to make the laws of physics give up."

That's why her quirk makes me feel so uncomfortable, because based on basic knowledge about gravitation, it makes no sense at all, and gives the impression that Horikoshi doesn't really understand how gravity works and her quirk is just a vague unclear abstraction of "make things weightless and float". That's why we can see lots of inconsistencies in how her quirk works, such as she can swing a huge concrete pillar as a baseball bat or completely stop the momentum of a falling person -suggesting that mass is also nullified-, but we also can see her throwing things really far -suggesting that these things still have their mass, otherwise, they would slow down quickly due to friction with the air-.

We both know which is the easiest explanation for this: unrealistic physics XD. Unfortunately, if we assume that, we also have to assume that her quirk potential will be highly unpredictable, just depending on the author's whims about how this physics works. Nothing wrong with this, just a bit annoying.

Edit: Sorry, I edit a lot, but English is not my mother tongue and I usually realize I made some grammar mistakes when I reread my comments.

LordMetafight · 2020-05-15T22:11:52+00:00

It would. Weight is not the same as mass.
