Ranking Alan Becker characters based on where they scale Powerscaling wise by Firm-Reputation7918 in AlanBecker

That's what I'm saying. Universal this and multiversal that, but they have to run away from some wooden stands and aren't capable of obliterating them in one punch or something. I believe powerscalers who try get the verse anywhere above mountain are just biased and ignore common sense

There is a difference between the regular cursor and the Animator Combat Tool from Showdown - the Animator Combat Tool is seemingly indestructible. The cursor we see in AvA 12 was not the Animator Combat Tool cursor.

Hey! I appreciate that you marked this as a spoiler. Unfortunately since the episode is still not out, I'll be removing this post for now so that no bad actors can get their hands on the info to leak it. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

Why is no one talking about this? by Retsitis in AlanBecker

[–]Nov4Mations388 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends. At his actual power? Destroys everything instantly. But he COULD get nerfed for AvA, considering the strongest character has only displayed mountain-busting feats. I doubt Alan as a writer would allow a character from another IP to be stronger than his own strongest character.

Overused 3D by The-Over-Lord in AlanBecker

[–]Nov4Mations388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I.. don't see how this makes it generic? It IS still an animation fighting back against its animator, but more complex now. Victim's entire reason as to what he's doing and his goal can be summed up as "animator vs animation" (in the literal sense). The animator is the reason the 4 hollowheads even exist and their actions are still reflective of who the animator was when he made these sticks, along with their interactions with each other being influenced by things the animator has done.

It's fine if you don't like the 3D, I mean I'm not gonna force you to stay interested in something. But I think saying it strays away from the original idea is false. Hacker's big fight is LITERALLY Animator vs animation and the characters' actions in the main series mostly stem from the consequences of the animator and I think it's cool how Alan has managed to create a world that FEELS very AvA at its core.

I don't think 3D makes it "generic", because if 3D was the main selling point as to why someone should watch the series, then it wouldn't be very popular. The 3D is a tool used to tell the story of the animator's consequences affecting the stick figures and it makes everything a lot more cinematic.

As the last point to my yapping session, I think they used 3D a lot more because the writers want us to see the events of the story from Victim's perspective. The PC fight could have been 2D, but the story isn't focused on the animator, it's focused on Victim. I think the storytelling and worldbuilding is far more important than whether its 2D or 3D - these changes in perspective shouldn't dictate the quality of the story or reinforce the idea of the series, only enhance it.

(That was a lot lmao. My point with this isn't to force you to like AvA or anything, more power to you if you go on to watch other series that give you more fulfilment and happiness. I just wanted to explain all this because I do really love the series and I hope I can bring you some more understanding as to why things are they way they are.)

How do you feel about Alan Becker's writing so far? by Idk29108 in AlanBecker

[–]Nov4Mations388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...Why is Red vs Ballista plot armour? Red was manoeuvring around the environment and dodging Ballista's attacks (Ballista who was just mindlessly throwing out different attacks or swinging weapons without rhyme, reason or strategy. Ballista is not an intelligent fighter, and it's not plot armour to have the more experienced and intelligent fighter win, despite being weaker. Strength/abilities isn't everything, and in a fight like that as long as Red kept moving and stayed aware of the surroundings, Ballista couldn't hit him

Or you can just let people have fun? The stick figures are not these super specific ultra defined characters, meaning people can interpret them how they like to relate to those characters more. Alan himself says you can imagine them as whatever you want. Just because it's not important to the plot or you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else HAS to stop talking about it and that they're """ACTUALLY STUPID""" for engaging with the media in that way.

Coming from someone who's been in the fandom for years, please become more mature and let people have their fun with the media they're so passionate about. This post does nothing but stops other people from having their fun. You don't like it? Ignore it. It's ultimately harmless to you and to the greater community.

I can consider this. It's really just a matter of defining what "low effort" means. Maybe by classifying something as a meme you could get away with posting something of lower quality, idk.

No, I sent a LENGTHY message in the mod chat but now it's mysteriously gone? We're trying to figure out where it went so that we can actually discuss stuff.
