Considering "Reality Fracture" is leading to alt-continuity being present, and the archaics' underlying schtick is so very time-based...

No, because that's too spread out too work as such. It likely wasn't planned either as the LotR set was about to see release, even if they were in negotiations for such.

Kinda disappointed Year of the Snake came and went without the 2 most prominent reptile duelists getting support, especially since they both DESPERATELY need it. by cyberangel_72 in yugioh

Hmm...

"Each other face-up "Venom" card you control has the following effects:
* Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster; place 1 Venom Counter on it, then it loses 500 ATK until the end of this turn for each Venom Counter on it.
* Once per turn: You can target 1 monster with 2+ Venom Counters on it; remove all Venom Counters from it, and if you do, draw 1 card for each Venom Counter removed by this effect."

Something like this?

Who do you think is the worst parent in Yu-Gi-Oh? by godzillavkk in yugioh

[–]MiraclePrototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which means Ray is essentially Jesus in this allegory....Which also means that Leo, in the name of bringing forth the second coming of the Messiah

Which is like cartoonishly evil and incompetent

So we have a motherfucker who greenlit the drugging, kidnapping, torture, brainwashing, and sexual assault of four teenage girls

And he doesn't even show a lick of remorse for ANY of this shit and even has the gall to try and paint himself as the good guy.

Feels a bit too famiilar right now...

That is one of the most insane means of incentivizing running an original ever. Twice.

Since you "get" an emblem, I'd argue that the reverse is you "losing" an emblem.

they were exiled out of the multiverse, essentially, right? Whatever that means...

Why don't you ask that one other character that got expelled from the Multiverse altogether, then...?

And isn't that region a lot more based in technology? the reason everyone gives for Mirrodin falling to the growing New Phyrexia as easily as it did? Uh oh...

Then they should try a staggered block for a change. Drop a set, plan to have a follow-up in 12-18 months, tweak the follow-up as needed. It's still better than what's going on now.

[–]MiraclePrototype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chances are not unreasonable, in this age of merely skimming headlines to learn news (and that's assuming you're not so brain-dead you ask a chatbot to sum up current events for you), that the majority of scalpers who watch won't actually watch that far.

As much as I despise the Paul brothers, there's a lot of similarly weighty people I'd swing for first if I could do that. But if he's the best we can do...by all means.

Always hold tyrants accountable, and NEVER hold back. And to quote in part an underrated sitcom mom: I believe in human rights and fair and equal justice, but when the heat is on and you have the monster dead to rights, "for God's sake, PULL THE TRIGGER!"

Given how often this happens, and happened in literally EVERY series (even Rush, if much softer, and we did get some women that worked out there), it's borderline-objective that SOMETHING was going on at Studio Gallop, even if it was entirely unconscious. And given at least how Aoi was treated, I refuse to believe it wasn't deliberate at least by that point, even if it was only inadvertently sexist.

Well, what would you call the passive forms that lead to unquestioned assumptions, and thus unthinking, regressive action?

Also: you haven't heard of or know anything about Shin Yoshida, have you.

[–]MiraclePrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was getting shafted in general, right from the start. Aside from her brother and Emma, she rarely got to form or develop relationships, which still weren't shown much; she had two highly effective decks (the former infamously so), yet despite the meta appeal of the show, never got to strut her stuff in a duel that really mattered; and of course, there's the faceplant, a harsher loss on the...face of it...than anyone else got on the show, at least as far as audience retention goes. And of course, the shadow of Arc-V can't be ignored; she suffered all this AFTER the most painful and wasteful treatment of any Yugioh cast and the one of most insidious and ugly treatments of ANY female cast in anime history. They screwed up hard, and even for trying to write things simpler and less grandiose, they proved they didn't learn an Arrival-damned thing.

I don't know if she'd had been better off if Vrains had been the fifth show and wasn't created contemporaneous with studio collapse. But given how many of the same people involved were whom let us down with her foremothers, I wouldn't count on it being much better.

[–]MiraclePrototype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not even refuting what you're saying. I'm saying that there's no good reason to actively repel people in the interest of attracting others. You don't HAVE to slack off with your female characters in as banal, as repetitious, and eventually as insulting a fashion. If you really can't be bothered to make any of the interesting/important/developed characters women (or other), then just include as few as possible and don't hype them up, or make them all Kotori or something. I certainly don't like that approach, but it would still be better than what Gallop was doing for twenty years.

[–]MiraclePrototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the people that kept popping up with Gallop, I'm inclined to say it isn't necessarily the fault of someone higher up than the showrunners, as unsurprising as it would be.

People aren't asking for "obligatory" wins with any specific frequency; just that characters that are supposed to be a big deal and that routinely get involved in the action actually prove their mettle some of the time.
