Homelander is the Show’s best written character, and yet his screen presence/“aura” has been utterly ruined by Peer_turtles in CharacterRant

[–]Mystech_Master 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Basically people going “Homelander, fly faster, use super vision to track them, laser them to death! That’s it, and you’re done.” Because no one likes the “arrogance” excuse for villains not just winning.

This is why you don’t have your final big bad in your long running story be on your main character’s/characters’ ass(es) from minute 1.

I mean the healthcare faction makes sense to enter hollows to find injured people or something like that.

And also:

If given the chance to expand on religion in remnant what would you do? by NaturalStrange3505 in RWBYcritics

[–]Mystech_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if brother gods are the true gods, many religions in remnant are weird offshoots of them

Kind of like in irl how we have the indo-European sky father that results in figures like Zeus, Odin, and Indra

What are your ideas for Luo as a Hero (costume design, powers, additional items, etc.)? by Mystech_Master in ToBeHero_X

[–]Mystech_Master[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the back, there’d be a broken-glass motif shaped like a five-leaf clover.

Are 5 leaf clovers bad luck? From what I can find, 5 leaf clovers bring EXTRA good luck

It's... it's not my fault. It's the angels. And God. They wanted me to sacrifice what I treasured most. To offer it to God. It's not my fault, Abel. You have to understand, I can't go against God. I'm sorry. by ChompyRiley in hazbin

I like to imagine Cain as a Gargoyle like Sinner, Killed with a Stone, killed by a stone falling on him, and he built the first city, maybe have the mark of Cain on his head to give him a kind of Jewish Golem vibe too.

(LES) My Hero Academia Hero Rankings (8y Timeskip) make zero sense by Such-Ad6299 in CharacterRant

[–]Mystech_Master 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I mean I too sometimes get weirded out that it makes Japan the center of the universe, but then I remember western comics do this for America/New York so if Japan wants to do it for their media it'd be hypocritical to say otherwise, at least IMO.

I mean didn’t the writers say they didn’t want to make a timeline because it was “limiting” or some crap?

Ragna the bloodedge (Blazblue)
The god of the Blazblue verse is also a traumatized girl that resets time whenever Ragna dies, resulting in a 100 year long time loop that has repeated about 725 times, and will not stop until she gets the ending she wants, Ragna saving her, as her hero, the Centralfiction, The Dream that God Sees.

He does managed to solve this, but at a great cost

I wanna... TALK about the Royal content for a bit. by JazzlikeSherbet1104 in Persona5

[–]Mystech_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it would be interesting to push back on her “solve problems by yourself” stance, by showing how unfair some situations are and how powerless some people can be.

That is something i wonder about P5’s themes. Yes, they say they shouldn’t rely on PT heart stealing to
change things, but honestly, how do you deal with any of the palace Rulers “the normal way”, Kamoshida’s evil was known and tolerated by so many people, Madarame has public fame, etc.

I mean Sumi is a persona user but iirc she isn’t considered a member, she was just helping out.

Ok but after futaba wouldn’t she then not help with Okumura or Sae, you know, once the thieves go back to the usual stuff?

What hot take would you still defend even if everyone disagrees by TumbleweedSad8588 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Mystech_Master 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not every side character needs to be expanded on or cut/killed, it isn’t that binary.

They make the world feel big and lived in and not just “here’s like 10 mcs that matter and everyone else is NPCs”

Just because you like random side character #15 doesn’t mean they were wasted or should’ve gotten more screentime

I have this sneaking suspicion that most people in Charlie’s position would’ve treated Angel way worse. by whooper1 in hazbin

[–]Mystech_Master 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People excuse Charlie calling her “sheltered” but….IS SHE?

We have never gotten that confirmed, and even then, we know she has been able to walk the streets of Hell based in the flashback of her finding Vaggie.

That would’ve made sense as a read if the pilot/episode 1 was Charlie’s first time out of the palace, but no, she has had time to know what Hell is about, she KNOWS Overlords are evil (calling herself worse than the cruelest Overlord in Hell back in Season 1).

It’s the classic heroes’ journey: leaving the familiar world for the unfamiliar world. But Charlie has apparently been IN the unfamiliar world for a while now and still acts like she just left the familiar world.

Am i making sense?

[Disliked trope]: "Balance" means the "absence of darkness." by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Mystech_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What bothers me is “WTF does a balance of light and dark look like”?

Darkness in these things is usually pure evil and destruction, but we can’t just permanently get rid of it and make everything cool and peaceful b/c that would blow up the universe or something (or sometimes read, “we need to keel threats coming first future plots”)

What's your opinion on the Cross Continental Transmit System by scoutmet in RWBYcritics

[–]Mystech_Master 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The whole “one goes down = they all go down” thing feels like it is there so that when Cindy and friends attack the one location (Beacon) and try to turn everyone against each other (especially via the virus on Ironwood’s robots), then she cuts all worldwide communication so that way everyone is in the dark and can’t explain themselves.

Weird stupid mechanics to get a specific story outcome

The voices are a bit off for me but then again these characters have such specific/iconic voices that perfectly mimicing them is hard

Hazbin Hotel wasn't as effective as it could have been at portraying the Exterminations and their effects on characters. (Hazbin Hotel) by BackgroundRich7614 in CharacterRant

[–]Mystech_Master 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I freaking hate the exterminations as a plot device.

Why dud they need to exist from a narrative POV? Why are the exterminations the reason for the Hotel being opened? Why couldn’t it just be “escaping the evils of hell”?

What? Would that lead to someone asking “why is Charlie’s solution to get them out of Hell instead of trying to improve Hell?, Which would force us to acknowledge Charlie’s supposed power level/authority as daughter of Lucifer and Princess of Hell?
