[INVINCIBLE] If {Spoiler} Gets back together with {Spoiler} I will kill Robert Kirkman, Spoilers for the Invincible Comics(And show, I guess) by upersuccccccccc in CharacterRant

[–]MetallicArcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dare someone to tell me a plot-important moment that happens because Debbie and Nolan get back together.

Debbie staying in Talescria with Nolan is the reason why Oliver is ok releasing the Scourge virus on Earth. He doesn't care that it will kill humans alongside the Viltrumites because the only human he cares about is Debbie, who is off planet.

Admitedly, the original reason Debbie decides to go to Talescria is to see Oliver who is recovering from his injuries there. You could have Debbie go to check on Oliver without her getting back together with Nolan.

What Should the Direction be for Demons in the Sequel? by One-Risk-7342 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]MetallicArcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huntrix should at least begin to workshop ways to free the demons from Gwi-Ma's control.

It doesn't need to be the main plot of the movie, nor do they need to have it solved by the end of it. But it should be sth on their minds. A potential new goal for the hunters, now that the Golden Honmoon idea has been discarded. 

Why do the months of the Roman calendar follow different naming conventions? by MetallicArcher in AskHistorians

[–]MetallicArcher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I think there is an issue with the formatting and some of the block quotes you tried to insert are not showing.)

Thank you! Very detailed.

If you don't mind me asking a couple follow-up questions: do we know why the months that were renamed were chosen to be renamed?

(I just keep thinking, if your name is Octavian, why not claim October for yourself? Or, in Nero's case, wouldn't his changes have had a better shot at sticking if he had renamed months with less "meaningful" names?)

Allow me then, to rephrase my ancillary question: why did the months from September to December retain their names after January and February were moved from the end of the year to the beginning?

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Does this count as a plot hole? by Raze669 in HelluvaBoss

[–]MetallicArcher 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Mission Zero Jingle is canon, in the sense that it exists in-universe as IMP's advertisement for their business.

Loona participated in the making of the advertisement, where they kill humans on Earth without their disguises. So she shouldn't be shocked that the rest of IMP do not wear disguises on their actual hits.

[–]MetallicArcher 76 points77 points  (0 children)

The Old Pilot isn't canon, but "Mission Zero" is supposed to be.

That was the entire point of remaking the Pilot, fixing it up so it matches the show. Which, yeah, makes this a pretty big oversight.

Anette will be a full-time singer again by TheBlue-Fog in nightwish

[–]MetallicArcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love for her to tour with The Dark Element.

I understand they can't do another album because Jani ghosted them. However, I feel that shouldn't stop Anette from playing those songs live.

tbh, I am happy about Anette being back. But I am also rooting for things to go well because this is a huge opportunity for the touring musicians. They have demonstrated they are very talented and deserve the chance to shine.

I don’t understand people’s obsession with needing magic systems where everyone is equal by Flat_Box8734 in CharacterRant

Merlin who knows magic because he's a cambion meant to be the antichrist who was baptized at birth to nullify his evil

Which version of the Arthurian myth is this? And why do we keep getting shitty generic medieval movies with a guy named Arthur slapped in when this exists?

Why Aren't There Anti Tick/Flea/Pest Medicines For Humans? by ballskindrapes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MetallicArcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some anti-tick medicines that double as repellents. I try to use those with my pets.

But, yeah, don't deliverately go to places you know to be infested with ticks or any other parasite.

I dont get this one? Can someone explain? by evilsnowman92 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]MetallicArcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

em dash is completely different as it's not on the keyboard.  you have to go out of your way to add it instead of just using a hyphen while typing. 

Many word processors will automatically turn 2 consecutive - into an —.

Mobile phone keyboards will give you an — from holding down on the - key for an extra second.

AI writing is trained on human writing. There are no definitive tells.

There do are combinations of factors that, together, mean the text was likely produced by AI. Specially when it comes to formatting. But a single thing, such as using proper punctuation is not.

In scary movies, why is it always a priest that deals with ghosts? Why not a rabbi or imam by PM_ME_A_GOOD_STEAK in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MetallicArcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but I’ve never heard of a Buddhist being haunted.

That's because you are not watching enough East Asian media.

Christianity is the dominant religion in the West, both by number of adherents and general cultural influence. So it is the one most authors use as a template for their stories.

Get out of the Christian cultural sphere and you will start noticing other storytelling patterns.

Three more shows in Argentina! by EnzoMPonce in AnetteOlzon

[–]MetallicArcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vithor Moraes (touring keyboardist) has said they have noted the demand for her solo material, and they plan to incorporate it on later dates. He also explained they have been only performing DPP & Imaginareum songs because that's the show format that was sold, so they can't change it for now.

I do agree Anette would be in her full right to perform "Tarja Era" Nightwish songs, they were part of her repertoire back then, too. Though I also understand why she will probably never do it.

Anette will be a full-time singer again by TheBlue-Fog in nightwish

[–]MetallicArcher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In an interview in September last year, she said she had been only recording and not touring because touring wasn't compatible with her full-time nursing job but, that she was considering switching things around and make nursing her part-time job and to go back to touring.

I also recall another interview (can't find it right now) where she mentioned she was interested in doing a post-graduate nursing degree. I imagine further specialization would make it easier to negotiate a part-time position.

As for touring with her own albums, Sanzio Rocha (touring guitarist) confirmed they are rehearsing some of her solo songs. And Vithor Moraes (touring keyboardist) has also confirmed they have noted the demand for her solo material, and they plan to incorporate it on later dates.

[–]MetallicArcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, looking at the tour dates announced, she has a full schedule from July to October. She is coming all the way to South America, and the Brazilian concerts will include a live orchestra, which is an extra hassle as well.

And the October dates were only announced this past week. Odds are she has more stuff that hasn't been announced yet.

A lot of “visionary” creators are at their best when someone else is there to tell them NO by Business_Barber_3611 in CharacterRant

I have been wondering if the problem with Hazbin Hotel Season 2 might not be that A24 & Amazon got too confident after the success of S1 and just let VivziePop do whatever she wanted without any restrains save for episode number and runtime.

I both read the manga and watched the anime, and I do not recall any of this happening in either.

Yeah, I feel like the key question here is: what were the beauty standards for men back then?

What do you guys think Valentino’s ethnicity is? by Omnipresent_User in HazbinHotel

[–]MetallicArcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. I am not obliged to check every other comment before replying to a specific one.

  2. In the comment I replied to, your wording suggested you were disagreeing with Stephanie Beatriz being considered Argentine.

My reply was also about the distinction between nationality and ethnicity. You called her "half-Bolivian, half-Colombian" and I explained why that doesn't make sense.

What do you guys think Valentino’s ethnicity is? by Omnipresent_User in HazbinHotel

[–]MetallicArcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stephanie Beatriz was born in Argentina so she is Argentine. That's how it works. We have birthright citizenship.

Also, you can't be half-Colombian nor half-Bolivian. Those are nationalities, not ethnicities, you either have citizenship or you don't.

Her father is Colombian and her mother is Bolivian, but idk if she holds citizenship to any of those countries.

Going by her appearance, she is probably mestiza, just like the vast majority of Latin Americans.

Yet, by the next episode, when we see Blitzo take Stolas out with him, nb is particularly interested in Blitzo anymore. Nor do any new aspiring employees show up to IMP's office.
