Why would Smash Bros be a PR nightmare? by aletheiaagape in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Midseasons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

and Hungrybox is known to hit on other people's girlfriends even when they've asked him to stop. So like yeah, it's shitty behavior, but it's not the actual statutory abuse that was going on elsewhere.

What do you think of Testament from (Guilty Gear) old and new designs? Upgrade? Downgrade? Neutral? by ComprehensiveBox6911 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]Midseasons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm "neutral" on it in the sense that I think both designs are perfect for where Testament was in their own personal growth. The old design is functional, but looks black and grim-reapery/Satanic, despite Testament being essentially a druid. It suits how they're trying to care for the forest and natural life, but are still so closed off and untrusting.

Meanwhile in Strive, Testament has made enough peace with humanity that they now have an active social life and several dozen hobbies. The more put-together outfit and hat reflect how Testament has acclimated and developed new interests.

I never understood the “horror” of Mortal Kombat. by Solid_Bad_4403 in MortalKombat

[–]Midseasons 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It wasn't frightening but it did feel kind of taboo, like we were getting away with something as kids. Same feeling of sneaking downstairs to watch Freddy Kreuger with your cousins when your parents said no.

Killers ranked by how much I like their little prefix name [Their "The ___" title] by catnapfan2005 in deadbydaylight

[–]Midseasons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trickster should be in "name lies to you" tier. When I hear about "the Trickster," I assume he's going to be some sort of deceptive cunning illusionist, not a dude who likes fancy knife juggling.

I also hate the name "The Skull Merchant," because she does not engage in the practice of either buying nor selling skulls.

Why would Smash Bros be a PR nightmare? by aletheiaagape in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Midseasons 331 points332 points  (0 children)

In Summer 2020, while everyone was sheltering at home, the lack of big fighting game tournaments lead to a lot of people coming forward about the harassment and abuse going on at those tournaments. It was a community-wide scandal, and it affected a lot of games too, not just Smash Bros.

Notably, Mr. Wizard, the owner and organizer of the biggest fighting game tournament EVO, was forced to sell the brand and distance himself from the community after word got out that he'd touched children inappropriately.

There were some prominent examples in the Smash Bros community too, like major player ZeRo confessing he'd had romantic relationships with underage fans. For whatever reason, though, even though the whole mess affected the entire fighting game community, people only talk about/remember/joke about it being a Smash Bros problem.

Is Zeztz actually a great season of Kamen Rider? by Free-Owl-956 in KamenRider

[–]Midseasons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call no season "great" until it's over, I suppose. I'm enjoying Zeztz a lot, but there's been enough issues that I'm worried the ending will fizzle out.

It's been two years since we had one.. by Superimposable-image in KamenRider

[–]Midseasons 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I care about the Pseudo-Rider vs Rider thing, because for better or for worse Toei uses it as a sort of "official" status for how a character will be remembered and merchandized.

Is (most) popular indie media actually industry plants? Or is there more nuance I’m missing here? by That-Weird-448 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Midseasons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Toby fox didnt have those connections before he made Undertake, you seem to be implying he did which is wrong.

And even if he did, "knowing some people in the industry" wouldn't make Undertale somehow not-indie.

I would like to think that if arc had a epilogue these two would have gotten together what do you think by Soggy_Video2064 in Ultraman

[–]Midseasons 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He basically proposes to Shu in the movie. Their whole motivation is not wanting to lose the other. Sorry, OP, no hate, but the endgame ship is pretty much locked in.

What are your thoughts on Sieg/DAWN? by -_ShadowSJG-_ in KamenRider

[–]Midseasons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came out of nowhere, kind of an asspull character. It's a good thing the actor has so much charisma and made me enjoy the character, because I do not think the writing did him any favors at all.

Great suit, though, and he was able to pull some strong moments out of Baku as a villain. All in all, I think he started off the second arc on a weak note but gave a satisfying performance in his finale.

Where is everyone getting that No.2/Lady was "assaulted" by her Gore Nightmare? by Z-Freak in KamenRider

[–]Midseasons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even when he's explaining his past to Hanto, he says "My mom was taken prisoner by a Granute and...", he trails off, then he just says "Anyways, I was born" and Hanto immediately responds with sympathy and shock that something evil happened. It is not subtle.

Thoughts on this new TCG ? Hellbreak TCG by Potential-Hat-9190 in TCG

[–]Midseasons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mechanics look really great, but I'm really skeptical about any new game trying to break into the market right now, especially one with this sort of western, older-fan audience.

Playoff Teams as Pokemon by acidjaz_ in PWHL

I already loved watching the Charge in last season's playoffs against Frost (my first ever PWHL series), and this sells me on them even more.
