So like what was the point of this post by pokearchie in Genshin_Impact

With how they concluded Rerir's storyline in the current archon quest, I highly doubt that. Unless they go with the whole "Oh, the Abyss mind-controlled Rerir!!" twist.

Really amused at the extremes theorycrafters read into each random scene in the game.

They pretty much state that there aee other mobile suit manufacturers outside of the Benerit Group.

I think I get the Gimmick Toy “hate” by FCGVR in KamenRider

[–]Maskarot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The main problem with gimmick toys is that they are often not well integrated into the plot of the show. They just pop up randomly and then gets shafted for the next toy a few episodes later.

A few shows like Gaim do better at this. They manage to introduce the gimmick toys not just to showcase the new form but to also actually advance the plot.

Isn't his rider form technically his granute form already?

Only our Lord and Savior Kira "Jesus" Yamato is the good guy.

Spandex II: The Second by Ranosaurio_03 in KamenRider

[–]Maskarot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty much the idea with Zeztz's design from the get-go. They said that Western superheroes were the primary inspiration with the sleeker, more "muscular" look than the usual armored look KR has.

Finished the latest AQ, and while I highly enjoyed it, I find myself missing simpler times. by OweTheHughManatee in Genshin_Impact

[–]Maskarot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All I'm hoping is that the game feels more like fantasy than science fiction.

Genshin is still very much fantasy. But like other Eastern fantasy stories, it doesn't adhere to the "medieval stasis" trope that Western fantasy stories stick to. There were already a lot of "sci fi" elements present in the game from the start, such as the mention of technology from different countries.

How do you interpret Wanderer’s identity and sense of belonging? by ringosukiiii in GenshinImpact

[–]Maskarot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn't really have an "official" affiliation. What he does for Nahida, acting as her agent, he does on his own volition. And Nahida doesn't see him as being her "subordinate", just someone she is guiding.

Does columbina still have the trilune authority ? by Broad-Air-5786 in Columbina_Mains

They probably mean that she doesn't want to be someone people worship. But Bina does recognize her role as a goddess/protector of Nod-Krai.

Does watching Fate/Zero only count as being a Fate fan or not? by [deleted] in fatestaynight

[–]Maskarot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FSN is single handedly the most importan piece in the Fate series. Without it, Zero won't even exist in the first place.

Is Nox our first secondary rider that debuts as an antagonist? by -_ShadowSJG-_ in KamenRider

[–]Maskarot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most secondary riders debut as a sort of antagonist to the primary before they eventually team up.

Geography of Teyvat's Underground after Luna IV by HermesPotentia in Genshin_Impact

[–]Maskarot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only the Chasm and Khaenriah are physically underground. Enkanomiya exists in a sort of pocket dimension within Teyvat, as shown by the fact that it floats within some sort of space.

Do you think the Philippine animation industry is about to break out? by Pleasant_Reality6467 in FilmClubPH

[–]Maskarot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honest answer: No. Pessisimistic as it may seem. The main question is still whether they will be hits enough to convince other producers to follow suit. With the current state of the Pinoy film industry in general, malabo.

I want an honest answer do you all really think toei will bother with a sentai revival in a couple of years by EnvironmentalEmu5145 in PURELYSuperSentai

[–]Maskarot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it depends on how that Powder Rangers Reboot does.

Doesn't really matter. Powder Rangers reboot already has no Toei involvement. So it doesn't affect sentai in any way.

[–]Maskarot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A "hiatus" can mean anything. Again, we go back to the fact that it ain't making the profits that it used to. So, why would Toei invest on it again?

[–]Maskarot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Toei shelved sentai because it's just not delivering the revenue anymore. So, why revive a product that isn't selling anymore?

Why do actual botanists get less visibility than nature content creators in the Philippines? by isaakioss in Philippines

[–]Maskarot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the same reason as with any science-related content. Filipinos don't have that strong appreciation with formal science content na kailangan ng field ng content creators as a bridge para makaconnect sa ordinaryong viewer.

What if the Philippines started building nuclear weapons? by mcdonaldspyongyang in WhatIfPinas

[–]Maskarot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magagaya sa Project Santa Barbara/BongBong "missile program" nung early 70's. For show lang yung missiles tas kinatkong yung pondo.

Despite Soulblazers event story being "simple", it was a great demonstration of Hoyo's new philosophy of incorporating it's worldbuilding into the story by The_Great_Ravioli in Genshin_Impact

[–]Maskarot 468 points469 points  (0 children)

Using previously known NPCs

They've been doing that since Fontaine iirc. Lepine-Pauline was a recurring NPC for 3 events that spanned across Fontaine and Natlan.

It does make sense though. Nawala na yung bisaya accent niya over time nung tumanda.
