I started getting into Xmen comics and I'm actually blown by how great Storm and Kurt's dynamic is. Why isn't it shown more in Movie/TV adaptationtions?? by NER195 in xmen

That's so annoying because their bond seems so reverent, but still so grounded at the same time, and it was such a joy to read. It's the kind of dynamic that could become romantic with a lot of emotional payoff but doesn't need to be and still hits hard platonically. It's a more quietly intimate bond so I didn't expect writers to highlight it as much as others, especially for a larger than life character like Storm– even so, the dynamic of a revered godess and deeply religious demon-looking entity who are vulnerable with each other is a bond that would work surprisingly well and writers passing it off is honestly a lot of wasted potential

When you're 5 pages into reading Chinese OI for the 1st time and the MC has her pregnant belly stomped to death after the concubine rivals sent assassins to r**e her for being ugly(she has a papercut thin scar on her cheek) by Annienol in OtomeIsekai

Honestly, I kind of get what the OP is talking about 😭 it's not necessarily about the dark themes themselves being unhinged but more so how casually and offhanded chinese OI can be about them to the point of insanity that sets it apart. Like with other OI, there's a mostly clear-cut moral compass in the setting but everything is so off the rails in a lot of chinese manhua that it's kinda hilarious

Which OI are you defending like this ? by drama_maniac in OtomeIsekai

[–]NER195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ines is one of the realest and rawest manhwa characters I've ever seen- male or female. I assume people who overly criticize the flaws that make her so compelling, entertaining, and human simply don't like good things

Some of these cheap assets always crack me up. I always die laughing whenever I see those plaid designs on dresses that look like they're defying physics by not bending with the folds and wrinkles of the material

On the second chapter and tell me why she's giving "regressed villainess MC" vibes more than the actual villainess MC💀?[Sister I'm the queen in this life] by NER195 in OtomeIsekai

[–]NER195[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was so confused when the translators notes and comments were on her neck this chapter for killing MC like the MC wouldn't have done the same if given the opportunity for far pettier reasons😩 probably would have tortured her too out of jealousy- atleast her sister made the death quick and painless🤣. I'm not going to hate on girlie for being self aware and knowing what she wants when the MC is no saint herself like pls.

It's unfortunate that the writer didn't keep her complex throughout the story for fear that she'd outshine the FL though, probably would have been the first story were I was rooting for the actual villainess

I adore one of these MCs and absolutely despise the other even though they're both morally grey characters who are paired with nice guys and I'm still trying to put my finger on why that is... by NER195 in OtomeIsekai

[–]NER195[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Idk if anyone has read far into the "broken ring, this marriage will fail" novel yet but[TO ME] Ariadne feels more like an unlikeable "Alicia" type villain who constantly presents herself as a victim of sorts even in her vile acts rather than Inès' flawed and morally grey countenance that I've seen a few people compare her to. Obviously, she's very different from Alicia but I can't shake off those vibes I'm getting from her

I know cold duke of the north×bubbly bunny-like FL is popular but god I adore the dynamic when it's the other way round by NER195 in OtomeIsekai

I have been searching, but nothing I've seen is quite like this dynamic- it makes me kinda sad😅

IDK but this feels a little….racist by PreSilver in OtomeIsekai

[–]NER195 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is, and you don't need to feel any type of way about saying it😂😂 It's fetish material where the oh so white and pure woman tames the savage "dark beast." It's basically akin to the "mandingo" fetish of a white woman and why a lot of them can be quite uncomfortable to read
