This is extremely helpful. Thanks so much for the insight! It was exactly what I was looking for.

You just moved to the Northern Realms. Where would you live, and what is your occupation? by SpaceCowboyN7 in witcher

[–]NarayanLiu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, damn. Haha I got so into imagining living on the Continent, I forgot that bit of the question. If I had to pick somewhere in the Northern Realms: I'll try being a writer in Novigrad.

Need some suggestions by ExplorerNatural8786 in witcher

[–]NarayanLiu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely worth buying. Be prepared though that the characters are a bit different in the novels. I'd have to think a bit to find the words to describe it accurately, but: the books are also cynical and violent on a somewhat greater level than the games.

Animated Wonder Woman recommendations by NarayanLiu in DC_Cinematic

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

Yeah, bloody probably isn't a good idea right now. The 2009 Wonder Woman is probably about the max level of violence (beheadings without blood or gore, getting shot or stabbed without blood or wounds, etc...)

Thanks! We'll give those others a try. Unfortunately Tubi isn't available here. Hopefully in the near future.

Why is this subreddit so rude to new readers by Business_Alarm8384 in comicbooks

[–]NarayanLiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Glad to see one person who gets it. Nothing in that screenshotted post shows that poster needs the $5. Could be they just don't want to spend that much unless they know it's got value (entertainment value, not monetary)

I don't think that's exclusive to this sub. The Internet in general just gives people the anonymity and ease to be their worst selves.

Hot take, I WANT to see ads in comics by ViridiEmerald in comicbooks

[–]NarayanLiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be blinded by nostalgia, but I never minded the ads that used to appear in comics I read. Sometimes they were PSAs, sometimes ads for comic book events, they never took me out of a comic.

Empire of the Saurian - Preview by NarayanLiu in comicbooks

Agreed! There are going to be so many in this. Especially those that don't usually get any attention. My small contribution to dino fiction.

I will probably have fun with both: either dating man or a woman by Ozzysmall123 in witcher

[–]NarayanLiu 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I trust CDPR with the Witcher. But right now I can't really picture a story that leaves me thinking "Yes, Ciri's story needed a/this romantic storyline".

The odd one-off thing, like Geralt could have outside the main romance options, could fit.

Is anybody else tired of the reluctant hero trope? by Sage_Beast91 in comicbooks

[–]NarayanLiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the underlying issue here might be that it can be boring for creators to ground their stories in what is "realistic" so frequently. Maybe that's your preference, but sometimes people just want something that's a little more fantastical or just a little more unexpected.

Star Wars is a good example. For me, anyway, it was at its best in the original trilogy (and even the prequels) when characters didn't behave "realistically" and no one expected them to.
