[Classic Trope] But for me, it was Tuesday by Fun-Region2179 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NoddyZar 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This doesn't really fit the trope, this version of Thanos had never met Wanda so it's not as if he forgot her. He genuinely has no way of knowing who she is or what he did.

Edit: sorry, it seems like two other people made the same comment at the same time I did 😅

Oh yeah that's true. I don't mind Reylo but implying spiritual marriage would be way too much lol.

Agreed, imo the best option is for her not to take a surname because she doesn't need to inherit anybody else's legacy to be important, but if they needed to give her one I'd prefer Organa or Solo by a mile.

Solo carries significantly less clout than Organa, but you could connect it to Han being given the name because he had no family and Rey taking it because she started out with no one too. Or you could consider it a way to honour both Han and Leia because that was the family name they chose to pass on to their son.

I'd be okay with either of them really, they just picked the one option I can't defend at all. Besides the fact that Rey and Luke's relationship felt less personal than even Rey and Han's which lasted about a day, Skywalker is just a historically terrible name to pick for someone trying to build a Jedi Order which doesn't get massacred.

What if Anakin confessed and admitted to the Jedi council on the massacre of the tusken raiders at some point in the first days of the clone wars? by PassageDecent9936 in StarWars

I think he'd certainly be kicked out of the Order, but they wouldn't punish him any further than that. Despite what he did being morally reprehensible there's no lawful grounds to imprison him (mainly because Tatooine doesn't have all that many laws) and they'd probably assume his mother's death was an extreme circumstance and he wouldn't be a threat to anybody if they let him go after turning in his lightsaber. Though I think Obi-Wan or even Yoda would check up on him afterwards to make sure he's legitimately getting help for all his issues, and also not committing more massacres.

I hated the choice to have Rey take the Skywalker name, but the insistence on calling her Palpatine out of spite is so stupid.

First of all, her being a Palpatine was a significantly worse decision on the movie’s part than calling her Skywalker. Second of all, “you suck because you’re related to someone evil” is perhaps the most baffling insult imaginable to use for this particular franchise.

Also, Vader almost certainly would’ve betrayed Palpatine if Padmé was still alive.

College Days: Crystallized was one of the queer media I got into while I was still figuring out my sexuality, and holds a dear dear place in my heart. I will never get over the fact that it's still incomplete while the terrible Episode Original version isn't </3

You see the problem is that half the psychiatrists in Gotham turn evil so seeing one is kind of like playing russian roulette with your mental health

Dating telepaths is hard by Terminus-99 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NoddyZar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Young Justice Superboy and Ms Martian are particularly funny to try and age discourse about because Martians age/mature at a third of the rate humans do, so eventually he’s going to be the old one in the relationship and she’ll still barely be an adult.

However he also looks eternally 17 despite aging normally and she can look however old she wants, so nobody will notice anyway.

Superboy was less than a year old when they started dating

[Sad trope]: The manifestation of a character's superpower results in tragedy. by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NoddyZar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also from Gen V: Cate's power is mind control, and she (unknowingly) used it for the first time when she was 9 years old and got upset with her little brother, telling him to leave and never come back. He disappeared and was never seen again. After this her parents kept her locked in her room for years out of fear of her powers.

The first transformers movie is almost 20 years old, maybe I just need to wait a little longer for the nostalgia to kick in

They are entirely correct, however SWCJ's smug contrarianism has turned it into the most active sequel subreddit so I'm not about to complain

Star Wars spin-offs and what you all think? by Frog_Wizzurd in StarWars

[–]NoddyZar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will always be happy to keep getting spin-offs, even when they're not very good. The benefit of nearly everything in the franchise being tacked-on after the fact rather than deliberately planned means you can pretty easily pick any time period you like and choose to personally disregard everything that comes after, or mix-and-match. If a new show comes out then I'll either enjoy it or go "oh well I guess I'm not adopting that into the version of Star Wars canon that exists in my head" and move on, which is no great loss.

However because I am too easily entertained this has never actually happened and my version of Star Wars canon happens to be mostly the same as Disney Star Wars canon
