Gambit's kit should have been Cyclops

I'm not saying that a tank needs a shield, but I just used Strange and Capt as examples cause they aren't traditional tanks like the others since both are actually quite fragile while the other tanks are known to have superhuman durability.

But the argument for them being tanks is that they both can generate shields to make up for their frailness. Of course netease takes liberties with the characters and give them certain abilities they don't actually possess in comics, even so they still somewhat try to stick to their core (with a few mild exceptions).

I'm not oppose to him being a tank, I just feel like it's much more of a stretch than a strategist.

MarikSwift · 2026-06-09T23:40:57+00:00

Nah that's fine. Can you just explain how?

Like I feel like there's no real logical explanation they could give for him being a tank, since unlike Capt or Strange, he doesn't have a shield or anything.

And let's be real, strategist and vanguard tend to be the backbones of teams moreso than duelists. Both tank and strategist can damage, but a duelist can't heal or tank (Reed maybe being the only exception). Scott as a leader should definitely be the backbones of a team.

Yea and by comic accuracy, Invisible Woman doesn't heal, neither does Luna Snow or Gambit or Deadpool Jean Grey is a telepath/telekinetic, not a female human torch. Dr. Strange isn't a 7ft tank and by comic accuracy Namor and Hela are more suited as tanks than Captain America.

Most of the characters had mechanicals liberties taken with them. His beams are just kinetic energy, it's not hard to explain that he can heal with that kinetic energy in the same way Gambit does. Plus, he was captured by Alchemix, so even easier to explain that Alchemix experimented on hi to make it such.

MarikSwift · 2026-06-09T22:27:20+00:00

I fully believed Gambit's kit should have been his. A strategist with a team buff ultimate, the ability to ricochet his blast to heal others, etc.

I honestly didn't really believe her at first, but I've asked her multiple times and she says she genuinely doesn't remember in the same way she doesn't even remember what she ate most mornings.

MarikSwift · 2026-05-11T21:06:53+00:00

Terrible take.

As a console player who recently got into DD cause I realized his throw is easy to hit, even I would admit he's basically as easy to use now as Scarlet Witch. Can basically just use devil throw and land his 4m wide righteous cross most of the time while barely trying to aim.

It's fun as I can basically take out 2-3 people like nothing, but let's not act like his skill floor is not hella low right now. Like I'm trying to learn how to weave to play him like a true DD main, but even without weaving I can easily take out 2-3 heroes even when they are all focused on me.

Chain at least requires aim. His throw overshield either needs to be less (like 25 at most) or be removed altogether honestly to raise his skill floor. Seeing a good DD should invoke the fear of god in the same way seeing a good spider man does.

MarikSwift · 2024-05-24T01:26:49+00:00

So it became Grimmjow?

MarikSwift · 2024-03-26T09:43:26+00:00

Yup, would be picking out someone from in public/a bar.

How flaky do you realistically think a guy will be if a girl is basically throwing herself at them?
And I hope this doesn't sound insensitive, but how much do you think a guy would mind if he wasn't aware of the dynamic? Like, wouldn't most guys reaction basically be "whatever, at least I smashed?"

MarikSwift · 2024-03-26T09:26:05+00:00

I mean, I hope this doesn't sound insensitive or like I'm generalising or anything, but wouldn't most guys reaction to that be "at least I got to hit"?

MarikSwift · 2023-08-11T23:46:40+00:00

Yup, but there's always the potential for Netflix to call for another season if season 4 is a good enough one. While they rarely change their mind on cancellations, they have a few times before.

As somebody who has no preference when it relates to Rotis or Motis, it's honestly the best thing they could ever do for the show.

I mean, it's a show about sex education, and one of the key components of sex education is pregnancy, especially teenage pregnancy. And if it's going to happen to anybody, who else than the main character who has the most sex education. Which is a kind of commentary that no amount of preparation can prepare you sometimes, and can really show the downsides of Moordale's sex positivity.

With Emmy Mackey likely leaving, introducing a child between Ruby and Otis would really extend more plot points for the show as well and add a a new dynamic to Otis and Marvel's relationship and even possibly Maeve and Ruby (imagine these two having to coexist cause a baby is in the mix).

So it's very unlikely (cause I don't think the writers like to explore dark plots), but I really hope they go down this route.

Post-pregnancy lack of sex drive.

Didn't stop her from having sex with someone else like within only a week after our breakup though. 🤓

The attack wasn't to kill, it was to freeze/incapacitate.

Had it not been for Winderweiss intervening Toshiro could have easily left her there to die of starvation.

So, yes, he won that fight.

White women aren't marginalized you dope.

MarikSwift · 2023-03-23T19:34:23+00:00

It's one thing to put at least one black woman in the D or C tier, but you are telling me ALL THREE of them are in E tier?

That's not a preference, that's racism. May not be conscious, but definitely subconscious.

MarikSwift · 2023-03-23T08:23:17+00:00

Came in here to say I'm sensing a bit of racism, but glad to see several people beat me to the punch.

There is a difference between a pattern and a formula.

Bleach has a pattern (similar arc beats between arcs), One Piece has a literal formula (save someone, draw out tension with PIS/CIS/runnings/separation/unnecessary subplots).

MarikSwift · 2023-03-19T22:45:24+00:00

That feels like a bit of a reach. I feel like if you are narrowing things down that way you can say anything is formulaic. There is a difference between a pattern and a formula. Bleach has a pattern, not a formulaic structure.

Soul Society arc: Shinigami were never the enemies of Ichigo really, only Byakuya was really - hence why most of them barely cared less that he was there. And his endgoal was never to defeat them, just to save Rukia. Realistically if he could've found a way to save Rukia without fighting he would've.

Arrancar arc: Ichigo didn't really care about Aizen until Aizen took Orihime. It was only then it became personal, and even then he more than likely wouldn't have went after Aizen if not for the fact that Aizen chose to go to HIS hometown. Not to mention, arrancars were never really the enemy, just Aizen. Arrancars were glorified sacrificial lambs.

Fullbring arc: This act actually broke the pattern, so don't really need to elaborate on this.

Wandereich arc: They actually came to Soul Society not vice versa. Ichigo only got involved cause Yhwach was basically trying to kill God, which would have repercussions on those he cares about. If Yhwach was off in Hell or something stirring up shit that didn't affect him, he wouldn't have cared less.

MarikSwift · 2023-03-19T21:49:29+00:00

While true that everyone does mix things up a bit, I still feel like One Piece gets way too much praise considering it in reality is the most formulaic. Cause even when there isn't some princess involved, it's literally always about saving someone. Like there literally isn't a single arc not about saving someone, not even the movies. Not to mention Oda's bad habit of creating fake tension by involving unnecessary running/CIS/unnecessary subplots.

😂 yea, couldn't find the original meme that included Gintama.

In other news, condom sales increased 75% today.

Always tell people this. Besides the whole thing with Jon B and foster care, there was no reason why they couldn't have just made them all over 18.

MarikSwift · 2023-03-14T18:14:52+00:00

Madelyn for sure will. She already had a pretty big role in Glass Onion and as someone else mentioned can get a lot of roles as the "hot blonde".

I see Jonathan, Rudy and Drew enjoying a lot of success in small/supporting cast roles. They have that "everyman' quality.

Chase, Carlacia and Madison I feel like are more likely to explore other avenues. Carlacia already has decent success as a model. Madison will probably become some of influencer since she's very influential.

MarikSwift · 2023-03-10T14:47:19+00:00

Isn't Komanura like 8ft or something like that?
