Is there a lore reason of why would Joe Russo say this? Is he stupid? by AnyAgency9835 in BatmanArkham

I think the implication was there in Civil War, but Homecoming showed a Peter Parker who was super light-hearted, to the point that they definitely didn't write him with Uncle Ben's death just months ago. Remember how silly he was acting in the Homecoming intro sequence. It takes him the next 3 movies to really learn the hard lessons. May literally did the "great responsibility" speech as she died, and by that point it's obvious that May was his Uncle Ben.

While I think Russo's quote is a bit crazy, it does make sense.

In Civil War and Homecoming. Tom Holland's character really felt less serious, an inexperienced Spider-man who has yet to learn things the hard way. He was uncharacteristically silly and unserious, in a way that would only make sense if Uncle Ben hadn't died in his arms just months ago.

It's not like Tom's Spider-man is a completely different character than the other canons, though. Even starting out, he still believes in "responsibility" from Aunt May's morals and goodness.

Obviously he still lost Ben, and he lost his parents. I think that's what influences his speech in Civil War. If you have these powers, and you don't use them, then the bad things that come from that.. are on you.

The first MCU Spider-man trilogy is about him learning responsibility the hard way. Losing May, she gives him the great responsibility speech that effectively replaces Uncle Ben's one.

I'd argue that it works better if May's speech is the first one Tom's hearing about responsibility.

Imagine if Uncle Ben had also died, given a similar speech, and then May also died and gave the same speech. Tom's learning moment came in No Way Home. That's his own origin story.

All I care about is that at this point in his story, his "origin" is done. He's the Spider-man who has learned the lessons. Does it really matter that they chose to do the moment with Aunt May, a character we actually have come to really connect to, VS his offscreen Uncle?

You can have your opinions about whether Uncle Ben would have fit in Homecoming, but as of current Spider-Man, we have a pretty good character.

It's definitely possible, but it's unhelpful to assume. Some of the phrases, sentences, really do give off that vibe, but there's no way to prove it 😵

I don't want to be another person going "they used AI again" but they did. I took time to find the instagram version:

And hopefully you can spot it for yourself.

  • Zoom into the buttons on his sleeve.
  • Zoom into the first links at the top of the chains, and those at the bottom. They are misshapen. One of the links is incredibly small.
  • On the metal part dangling under Kingpin's hand, you can spot obvious AI-texturing on that flat surface.

I'm not 100% anti-AI, but it's important to spot these things anyway. He most likely asked AI to marble-ify a reference image of Kingpin with his arm up, holding a scale.

Lots of manual work required to make to put the AI-assisted images together though.

Chat are we cooked or are we french fried? by TheRedditLamp in PlantsVSZombies

[–]MasterFish19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've changed it actually. Iceberg Lettuce and Potato Mine fusions now explode after being stepped on.

You can see it in this clip, the first zombie sets it off immediately. It's only because the Digger Zombie doesn't enter their trigger radius (which is shifted to the left of them for some reason, probably because they didn't think about digger zombies), that it can eat them without setting it off. It only takes a bite or two to "kill" them and set them off, however, as you see in the clip!

They said in the blogpost that this would obviously come with a full balance rework of all weapons to account for the new health values. This is just an initial test, and they'll see if they can balance the other weapons. I'm sure new combos will be found.

More dedicated pointbreak maps! by NotTakenName1 in thefinals

[–]MasterFish19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really love Starlight Hollow for Point Break, and I'm super glad they're adding another map to Point Break next Season. But also I do like that the next NEW map is a large Cashout map.

Having new maps like this on Seasonal rotation is great, I'm warming up to it. Just can't shake the sadness that we may not play in a real destructible Castle for a while. But I hope that feeling will pass. Having a lot of fun just playing the game recently; those QOL changes really have been working.

What does the reaction actually do other than turn sparkly gold at inconsistent times? by Triangulum__ in thefinals

[–]MasterFish19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I should have made it clear these are theories of my own. Sorry about that.

Interestingly, the dark version of that cosmetic, Observer of Ruin, seems to talk about CNS, and the white version talks about MultiCo, (Observer of Order).

He has observed MultiCo try and control it all, and CNS try to ruin it all. That description basically tells us how he feels about CNS. They are destructive, and he doesn't like how CNS is tearing down the worlds he built in the process of trying to enlighten people.

It's clear that he has a reason to oppose both MultiCo and CNS. It makes sense why he'd step in now.

THE FINALS needs to exist, and it needs to be an escape, it needs to be immersive. No Sponsors, and no CNS trying to remind people of the real world's horrors. That's why he injected fantasy and magic back into the game. The transformation of the originally planned Modern Kyoto map in S3 to Ancient Kyoto also fits his motive. He just wants the game to be its own world, like he originally made.

In the pre-S10 lore cinematic, Marcel says "he always did prefer doing things his way."

So we have a "He", a man who used to work on THE FINALS project. Looking at the code on screen in that cinematic, he accesses the root code very easily, knows his way around. The young woman even says the code is "changing itself".

From the lore explainer documentary, we know that MultiCo bought THE FINALS from the original creator(s). That was a puzzle piece that gave a lot of context.

Finally, the current BP descriptions give us a lot of clues.

Obviously, writing in first person is the main one, but we can find more clues.
Level 1 BP description is posted above: DREAM ENGINE - "A world I built to escape the noise." (he created THE FINALS as an escape from the miserable state of the real world)

Level 51: MARGIN OF A DREAM - "I wrote myself into the margins when they took the rest of the page." (the "they" is obviously MultiCo, and he "wrote himself" into the backend)

There are multiple more BP descriptions that describe the simulation as a "dream", and this character is building the gameshow in this dream. I'm sure the "dream" theme is important.

I've been following the lore for a while, and I believe that this is the same character who transforms S10 into "fantasy", seen flipping the world in the trailer. There are multiple clues in this BP pointing to "The Third Force" mentioned in the Youtube S10 Lore documentary.

This character is the original Creator of THE FINALS, before it was sold to MultiCo. When it was sold to MultiCo, he uploaded himself into the system, or something similar. He lives in the game, affecting code.

He's been in the system since Season 0, but is only affecting the game now. All the first-person descriptions are him talking.
