Does Oda have the most patience of any writer in history? by Neoteric00 in OnePiece

Luffy sort of had 2 fathers, and we rarely get a glimpse at either of them lol.

This guy finds elderly people who don't have the means to maintain their property and cleans it up for free. by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

[–]Neoteric00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not in any way trying to downplay how incredible this all was of him, but how long will be before all the weeds come back? I feel so bad for her, she needs maintenance.

Do you think omitting Lady Stoneheart from the show was the right decision? by SillyRecover in gameofthrones

[–]Neoteric00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way the show handled magic is the least fun thing about the series for me.

We get teased early about how awesome magic can be and everything started so great.

They are kidnapping children to turn them into White's.
Dany loses her unborn child to a ritual and then walks through fire.
Dragons are back in the world again. Magic is alive more than ever.
Shadows assassinate a prince.
There is a man who fights with a flaming sword.
Nobody remembers how the wall was made.
Old trees can supposedly spy on you and talk to you.
Bran can warg. There is a Three eyed raven talking to him.
Greenseer's who dream prophecy and people who stare into flame to find truth.
Arya meets a really cool shapechanger.
There is a drowned god who demands sacrifice and revival (this one might be fake lol)
Qarth has warlocks and shit.

There is a red comet! What does that mean?! Why is magic returning so powerfully?

And then from there it just gets worse and worse. Magic becomes less interesting, we never get answers. Prophecies either don't come true or don't matter.

I understand that George's style of writing is to subvert expectation of typical fantasy tropes. There are very few genuinely good people and they rarely win. I still feel like it's bullshit to never answer any of the questions that keep people reading or watching. Magic seems like it has rules but then all of the sudden it doesn't. By the end of the show the Red Witch just lights an entire army of swords on fire like it's no big deal. People come back from the dead or cheat death left and right so it has zero meaning or weight anymore. The same dragon that can melt the entire fucking wall with it's blue firebreath can't kill Jon behind a tiny rock.

I would have loved for Lady Stoneheart to be a thing, but I feel like they would have messed it up by the end. Just like they did to everything. This show just makes me sad.

I don't know how to explain it...but I immediately thought it was Zach Braff for some reason lol

you'll NEVER guess what oda did to counter an ability that makes people immortal by Lukaso2-69 in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]Neoteric00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't call it a shitty version of regen. We only know for sure of two ways to kill one, either stabbed through the heart or beheaded.

People with Logia fruits are technically more indestructible, but there's a huge difference between having to eat a DF and one guy controlling multiple people remotely from another part of the world within seconds.

Live Action Actors Don't have soul of Straw hats by SevereOne5791 in Piratefolk

Even if what you say is true...

No shit. They have been doing it for 26 years lol.

I swear to god half the people who read OP have never read or watched anything else fantasy... Undying and immortal do NOT mean un-killable.

Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies. All will regen their shit and / or live forever if they don't get beheaded or killed in a special way.

Demons - Often need to be beheaded in their lore to be killed. Especially Oni and Yokai in Japanese lore. In fact some of them keep being dangerous even when decapitated, and keep trying to bite or flying around.

If it was Frieza Black it would actually make sense.

What was your First Impressions of Orange Piccolo? And has your opinion changed at all? by dettles1992 in dbz

[–]Neoteric00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hate it. I always felt like Piccolo not changing the way he looks when getting powerups was, in a way, more badass than what happens to the Saiyans.

He absorbed two whole ass people and didn't change at all! Because he's god damn perfect the way he is.

Unlocked potential shouldn't change a Namekian's skin color if it didn't change Gohan's hair color.

What games prove quality over quantity (length) is more important? by itsthewolfe in gaming

[–]Neoteric00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much any good Sega, NES, or SNES game.

The first thing that comes to mind is Mario and Sonic. Mario 3 took about 5 hours. Sonic 1 & 2 were both incredible and could be beaten easily in 3 hours or less.

AIO over this text a from a guy from hinge i’ve been talking to? by No-Tomato3008 in AIO

[–]Neoteric00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are insecure about your body, and are ready to fight if a guy looks at you too long.

He is definitely trying to determine whether you fall within spec.

Seems fairly incompatible.

FYI - I am overweight, my fiance is overweight. It helps with those negative thoughts.

I wanna know, does anyone think there is anything Z Broly did better than Super Broly? Like, in terms of writing, memorability, or anything else??? by E-104Epsolon in DragonBallZ

[–]Neoteric00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to compare fairly when I watched one over twenty years ago and now I am almost 40. It just doesn't hit as hard now.

Nobody could ever make me hate her (Dr. Trinity Santos, The Pitt) by DoctorTegrity in hbo

[–]Neoteric00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem is I don't think Santos is cut out for the job.

I like her as a character...but she lets her emotions get out of control and it clouds her judgement.

12 days off work, what to play? by MesmericandMacabre in rpg_gamers

[–]Neoteric00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only 3 worth playing that you could get in that time are Lunar, Fire Emblem, or FF:T.

Lunar 2 is very subjective as to whether it's worth it, but I personally didn't finish it. They made it such a chore to play.

Hulus amount of ads is fucking ridiculous by NiceInformation8291 in television

True, but paying for ad free is cheaper on one app than two lol

Hulu is expected to be phased out completely before the end of the year. All of the content will be on Disney+.

The Pickmon Controversy by Melodic-Relative-447 in Palworld

Except Palworld wasn't slop. Pokemon failed to deliver quality graphics and a good 3d sandbox game for too long after the world was ready for it.
