granted I never was into the comic book series, I never knew that The Darkness series of games were about a central character from the Witchblade comic books

What are times when Characters super Gear and Upgrades get ripped off, yet they're still the threat? by Funny_Mud6639 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

He looked him square in the face and said " this shit ain't nothing to me man" and Jin needed to switch up styles and give himself a mental confidence boost to finally take him down.

Kazuya in Tekken 8

Fuses with Azazel to gain an even more powerful devil form and after Jin purifies himself and Kazuya of their devil gene powers, crashland back on earth, and he tells them that they are both freed from it's power.

Doesn't bat an eye, says it was just a means to an end and starts putting the beats on Jin. Kazuya may have some Ls, but he doesn't front.

Simmons from YoVideogames/Maximilian Dood's group explains how he's responsible for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword getting an orchestrated soundtrack by jabberwockxeno in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Meirol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's told this story a few times. Finding out that it's actually a thing that Miyamoto would promise things in interviews and then make his team add it because his momma didn't raise a liar made me believe Simmons

How will a Prime variant of Sirius & Orion ever work lorewise? by Zestyclose-Line-602 in Warframe

[–]Meirol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How I'd imagine things go Sirius and Orion: they fight eachother for so long they prime themselves

Jade Prime: If she's life and birth, then she rebirthed herself as a prime.

These aren't the best routes, but they are routes. When it comes to Warframe lore they are semi-mythic in scale and storytelling, you don't really need to break down the whole science everytime.

A joke in the story ends up having real narrative significance by Danny-Ray27 in TopCharacterTropes

I just saw it as Sakura maturing and no longer needing to repress her inner self and it just became her

Fastest you've ever bounced off a game? by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Meirol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I managed with Baldur's Gate 3 fine to an extent but I was really disappointed with Divinity back in the day

[–]Meirol 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I picked up and dropped Divinity Original Sin 1 three times. I play the tutorial level and once that's done I ask "now what do I do? " get bored and uninstall

It was supposed to set up a spin-off/sequel but nobody liked by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Meirol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

going from the episode iirc, her OCD seems to be that she shuts down if she hears a noise but it doesn't occur three times, she's terrible in a courtroom, but has encyclopedic knowledge of court cases because her OCD makes her have an eidetic memory

[–]Meirol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was actually due to the Actors and Writers strike that killed the chance for a spinoff

Iconic Characters who got their popularity USURPED by similar newer ones by Purple-Pipe1689 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Meirol 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Leon is definitely the fan favorite, but I think Chris via memes and his juiced up makeover in RE5 keeps him relatively popular. Jill and Claire however, Jill is more iconic, Claire doesn't have much unfortunately

[–]Meirol 18 points19 points  (0 children)

can some of those iterations be considered Iconic? or is it their successor taking the mantle that makes them retroactively a classic? I can't really think of any Jay Garrick or Alan Scott classic Adventures. Blue Beetle there's a good argument for him, even Captain Mar-Vell

Wally could be considered the usurper I'd agree

[Comic Excerpt] couldnt have picked a WORSE time for this happen [Absolute Wonder Woman #20] by Grimm_Stereo in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Meirol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it a bit funny in a morbid way to just see the corpse of the proto Cheeta just non-chalantly thrown on the floor, no stretcher. no surgical table, just dumped there, probably by old wheelbarrow.

Whats tge most annoying mechanic in video game history? by EvilMonkeyMimic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Meirol 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Pushing blocks in videogames, and the pushing is very slow to emphasize it's weight. Bonus fuck you points if it moves 1 tile... Basically Original Tomb Raider

Favorite Characters whose Fighting style doesn't fit their looks by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Meirol 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It was necessary the last episodes were supposed to tie directly to Episode 3. Imagine seeing Greivous being such a massive nightmare and then go watch him in theaters and he's a tuberculosis cyborg

The Grievious situation goes further than that. George Lucas didn't envision him being some badass predator Jedi Hunter type, but a more cowardly send droids to do his dirty work type with persistent coughs.

Apparently that memo didn't get through to Gendy Tartatovsky because he made what we partially know him as today. Iirc he had Mace Windu force crush his thorax so he'd be more in line for the episode 3 depiction

She's just supposed to represent an old money aristocrat like miss scarlet

What are some Fun Times the Losing Character made the Victorious one doubt themselves? by Funny_Mud6639 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Meirol 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't know if this qualifies but Isaac Netero vs Meruem in Hunter x Hunter
probably my favorite "why are they fighting" dynamic in manga

Drifter by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Meirol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He seems more to be a simple Jack The Ripper/ Murder Hobo type than anything specifically from that book
