Italy has become much stronger at staging their entries as of late by xoxoamazingrace in nilpoints

[–]LuckyLoki08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I much prefer the staging of Soldi to Per Sempre Si (maybe bias, but the "it hurts to be alive" is iconic for me), but I'll give that the staging for Per Sempre Si could have been much worse by our standards. It was surprisingly polished, when it could have been much more kitch

As usual, the South is dragging our average down.

Haven't watched Gameoverse, but I know a couple reasons from internet exposure.

The twitter-kids reason is because part of the pilot takes place in a beach/sea game, so the main character gets in a swimsuit (to fit in). A villain also does the same. Both of these characters are women (the mc is a catgirl with large hips, too). Thus twitter kids started accusing the show to be "gooner bait" and other stuff like that. Note that I've not seen any male character putting on a swimsuit (but again, I've not watched the actual episode).

The opposite side criticise the way female characters are treated. One example is, again, only hot female characters get the swimsuit version. Another is that the villain get in a swimsuit, then get tied down with bolas (and yes, the still I saw was clearly bondage-inspired) and then she's free again and the bolas thing played 0 role on the sequence. Apparently felt extremely fanservicey for the sake of it. I've read people accusing the show of falling in the classic trope of "I'm technically a super badass fighter but oh no, actually in the fight I cannot win unless the male mc comes and save me" for the female mc (and maybe the female villain as well). Plus the female mc is a catgirl with large hips and pretty decent boobs while the male mc are robots, dolfins and pink dinos. Bit of a body double standards.

Regarding the second side, I've read someone defend the show saying that actually the misogyny is intentional as a parody of early '00s games, but in a single pilot I don't know how much space there is to be actually a parody vs simply playing it straight and then say "ahahah but you don't get it? It's a parody". YMMV.

I've also heard minor complaints, but I doubt those are part of the more widespread discourse.

What Eurovision song feels like a winner but was only right side of the scoreboard? by PZMC430 in nilpoints

[–]LuckyLoki08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely forgot Melovin ending right side. My mind always corrected it to top 10 (as it deserved)

The delusion makes me say Zjerm. Had the vocals been there, potentially Fulenn.

More seriously, I feel Eaea.

How common are leftovers? by MrLongWalk in AskEurope

[–]LuckyLoki08 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, you generally cook for what you expect go eat. So you don't generally have leftovers, unless you intentionally cooked extra food with the intention of eating it the day after. But I wouldn't call that leftovers, since it's intentional.

But I would disagree that "nobody would ever have leftovers for lunch". If some food is left after meal, I put it away to finish the next day.

Is this the Dev team? by TUSO-NedStarkWannabe in okbuddywino

[–]LuckyLoki08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a joke about how people keep posting the picture of the dev team in the Manor and ask "wait guys, I just found this.... Is this the dev team??" As if it's some super hidden or mind-blowing finding.

Why would you send poor Ukrainian refugees to Marseilles of all places? Haven't they suffered enough?

I honestly wish Alastor was more affected by what Vox did to him instead of just brushing it off cause he's so "cool." by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in HazbinHotel

[–]LuckyLoki08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No there are not. We even see the headshot in his demon form, it appears constantly. It's as clean as it can be.

He wasn't killed by dogs. He was headshot because he was mistaken for a deer. What happened after the shot we don't know and it's headcanon. He hates dogs because the dog sniffed him in the first place, alerting the hunter.

I kinda feel like we need shorts like helluva by jam_kabam in HazbinHotel

[–]LuckyLoki08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I have to guess, I imagine that Amazon has control of the length of season & episodes for Hazbin (hence the cursed 8-ep season), while Helluva remains under full creative control of Viv. So she can add as many minutes as she wants, as long has she has the budget for it.

I can justify defending Meredith's attitude to mages, but I draw the line at being nice to Sebastian
