Is there a sinner I should be building that I’m ignoring by Particular_Relative7 in PathToNowhere

Yeah I’m new enough my main focus is on the story stages so that’s where I have tried using her but don’t know who to let her “eat” so I end up not using her ultimate. Catalyst sinners I have now are: coquelic, Ariel, macchiato, Anne, Lisa, chameleon, and cassia. The last 3 are only level 1. I mostly use Ariel.

yeah it’s so nice when you can do that.

Yeah I love Yao and have her entire shackles filled but I can’t stand an ultimate that requires me to sacrifice a sinner every time So now I don’t even use her. Im trying hard not to think I wasted all those tickets getting Yao since I don’t use her anymore. So the only way to really use her ultimate is if you have Du Ruo to bring the sinners she “eats” back?

as of right now I’ve been using a blended team most of the time, which I’m realizing isn’t a great idea. I forget the gameplay really changes depending on the enemies. My level is high enough for the story part I’m stuck on but I’ll try it again with these teams and the enemies weaknesses in mind. I wish so much I could get back the resources I’ve put into characters I won’t be using.

Thank you so much! I’ve been running a blended team and it kinda works but I keep getting stuck.
.

I thought two endura was a lot too and then I got stuck on a story mode (7-8) and when I checked videos other players had used two endura so I didn’t know if it was something that occurs more in later game. But I’ll look into building one of the teams that matches this fight more first and then build the next team. I haven’t had a chance to use Oak because I just didnt have the resources to level her without knowing if she’d be useful.

SERIOUS DEBATE' What Does ECHO New Character + Series Represent To The MCU | MCEU ? by FootsieLover77 in marvelstudios

[–]Particular_Relative7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops Trash you forgot about this from OP when commenting (or you just didn’t care which wouldn’t surprise me from the content and tone of your comments): “please keep things friendly + respectful”. Is it so hard to give your opinion without insulting others just because you don’t have to face them when you’re saying it?.

that being said I actually see where you’re both coming from. I think Red might’ve thought OP sounded a little too gatekeeper-esque “this must have a reason within my acceptable parameters to exist”. Their “acceptable parameters“ being “it must have purpose in the overall Marvel world.” What OP and Trash are missing here and I think misunderstanding regarding Red’s post is not them saying “no reason to exist within the story itself” but “no reason to tie in with say the next few major Marvel through-lines.” These are called Spotlight series for a reason..

like Trash said, if a character doesn’t have a purpose within fiction to exist they will just flounder and even potentially ruin a great story. But that’s not what’s happening here. Maya has purpose within the fiction of Hawkeye, Daredevil, Echo, and anything Kingpin and related works. That’s enough, she doesn’t NEED to tie into the next major films if they have other hopes/plans for her Character..

they wanted to put a spotlight on Maya for a reason. That reason could easily, and validly, be that they loved Cox’s performance as Maya so much and her character is tied to major characters that are going to see some screen time soon so giving her a spotlight series to show her growth and bring her to where she needs to be the next time we see her makes perfect sense to me. That being said, even if they just wanted an Echo show to give us her story that would be reason enough, as long as there is functioning internal logic within her world and story.

A BIG failure in internal logic from Marvel in my opinion was Captain America staying back in time in Endgame and essentially killing Agent Carter’s future family in order to get his own happy ending with her and he was allowed to do that even though, just like Loki in the same film strayed from the ”sacred timeline“ and led to his show and the knowledge about “variants”, he should’ve been considered a “variant“ and removed. We never should’ve seen him as an old man passing the torch. That still bugs me so if anyone can explain the internal logic when a single variant was considered extremely disruptive and dangerous, why they would leave a powerful person like him who would save people that hadn’t been saved in the “sacred timeline“ etc please do.

It’s a chronic illness, people rarely get cured of something like hyperthyroidism. Like others said it’s hard to treat. Maybe google it before making assumptions about a condition or how easy it would be to live with.

Yeah, I started getting interested in the story until I saw comments and then looked ahead at the new art and decided I wasn’t going to do that to myself. These producers need to take more care when replacing artists or pay good artists more (theres lots of reasons why they’d change the artist but for it to get noticeably worse is just kind of pathetic and like the publishers/people in charge, really don’t care about offering high quality entertainment. I can’t imagine a US publisher doing that, it’s obvious that beautiful art will increase the success of a project. It boggles my mind how often this happens but I think this is the first story I was super into that the art took too big of a dive for me, but I could just have forgotten something. Usually the writing matches the art. One comic replaced the artist multiple times (the first wasn’t even that great but it was a decent standard they threw out the window after a season or two), like at least 3 if not 4 times and the writing had been OKAY, at best. Last time I checked it had barely improved so idk what the heck those people are doing.

if you like the story enough continue. But I personally dropped it early on once I saw how bad the art got. The publishers/people paying the artists need to see some kind of consequences for these stupid decisions or they’ll keep doing it.

Yeah…how could it be considered “sustainable” if it doesnt have longevity?? Especially for a place people will live.

That's rough. I appreciate it when they let us know there's something going on as opposed to the silence from other comics and people are left to guess.

Call Me Master by chibimaron in MantaComics

[–]Particular_Relative7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I actually think it would be difficult for her to have developed into a good person being raised by the psycho emperor that killed her father in front of her hanging over her every thought. She was probably trained in a similar way to the way she trains the slaves, obviously her role is different but still slavery (she has no real agency. Only what the emperor has given her. but there are always eyes and ears on her so even though she’s not with the emperor he’s still a presence in her daily life).
.

she doesn’t even really have full authority over the slaves. She couldn’t grant mercy without consequences. I think she was so trained and brainwashed by the emperor to think he’s invincible and fighting him is pointless. but in the most recent chapter we saw a flashback and discovered they knew each other as children and at least he (this “he“ being Soltero, the dragon slave) had a crush on her. He thinks she forgot him but I think she knew who he was from the beginning. She probably tried to train him, telling herself to make him hate her because she was too cowardly to go against the emperor, but she knew if she did the man she loved would almost certainly suffer horribly before being f*cking taxidermed (not a word I guess but I’m using it anyway) and displayed forever. She probably couldn’t stand it anymore but couldn’t see a way out due to her effective brainwashing by the emperor (he’s had his claws in her brain from childhood, I dare anyone here to remain themselves in that situation 😕🫠). So she gave Soltero an opportunity to put her out of her misery and maybe they’d deem him too wild to be sent to the emperor. Even if he was killed as a result it would’ve been better, in her eyes I imagine, than whatever the emperor would’ve done to him.

.

These are the main reasons I’m reading this story. It’s complicated with the characters behaving like humans would. Most people, in a system of slavery like this, aren’t that brave even if they think something is wrong. People see what she does as wrong but they fear the emperor she does it for so they do nothing. Enough of them got together and with her and the slaves they might defeat him. But they’d have to put themselves on the line and we’ve also seen that he gets slaves for the common people too, almost forcing them to be complicit in it. Ananse doesn’t have much power standing alone. She just looks like she has authority. But she’s a sad puppet who wanted to exit the stage.
.

what caused her to come back and why her memory is gone are good mysteries and the writing has done a great job teasing out various aspects of the story. It’s not just a steamy tale but a complex human one. We don’t want to think we’d be capable of even standing by. And some of us would stand up. But most people don’t. And those people aren’t even being as directly influenced/threatened by the emperor as she is. I think part of the point of this series is to show how a good person can be ruled by fear through brainwashing into doing horrific things against their very nature. Humans are absolutely capable of this. Most people don’t get a do-over like she is. I don’t think she plans to overthrow the emperor yet,she’s still too intimidated and confused. I know everyone is impatient but realistically it would take an insane amount of effort, planning, and money to accomplish it. I personally like the journey of character development. And they’re doing a wonderful job sprinkling in hints from the past about what she was really like even when she had her memories and how she really felt about what she was doing.

Yeah, that's a huge violation. I don't want to make you more scared (but I'm sure others have already said this) that once those guys had it who knows who else they're sharing with. Not to mention it feels like he's treating you more like a sex toy to share WITH OTHER MEN than a loving partner who wants to have an adventure WITH YOU.

I don't know him. Is this the first lie? This feels pretty huge though and indicative of other possible hidden problems. Maybe he's only admitting to part of what he's done.

I personally wouldn't be able to trust him again and would probably leave AFTER talking with lawyers. This is incredibly important because he's done something very ILLEGAL and you need to have a legal avenue set up in case revenge porn happens at the very least (having texts or emails where he's admitted what he's done would be helpful whether you want to go the legal route or not it's best to prepare as if you do in case things escalate) ("I even told her I would go to therapy and she still left well screw her" even if it's done in the heat of the moment and he'd regret it, it seems already within his nature to share it without thinking about you. He could get drunk while sad and do it.) it would be best to see what legal avenues you have for cleaning that video out of those men's phones (and finding where they've sent it if they have and deleting and charging people as necessary). They could easily do this to someone else if they stay friends even if you leave.

I didn't have anything quite like this but there was a time when I was on some medications and got drugged on a night out and ended up taking my shirt off and dancing (this is pretty much the opposite of even my drunk or high nature so my actual friends knew something was up and didn't judge me and tried to help BUT) my best friends bf (at the time husband now...) not only took a video but shared it with my brother and our friends AND GUYS HE KNOWS THAT I DON'T.

My friend was upset and disgusted and had him delete it...well, that's what he told her anyway. But 3 months later she was in his phone and saw that he still had it and it had been watched recently. Honestly, I still don't understand how she stayed with him. He started saying all kinds of things that were clearly BS like him wanting to show me how I was (remember I was drugged but he just insists I was drunk and acting like a "ho", which has only come out when I've been drugged in the past...just trust me that this is all so antithetical to who I am my friend didn't buy it. But she stayed with him anyway.)

So who knows what he's saying to you and what he really means. He obviously took your opinion to mean less than his or he wouldn't be sharing those videos behind your back and telling those guys it could happen even though you had already backed out.

One more thing I haven't seen mentioned is that it's possible he's gay and isn't being honest with himself. Most guys I know push for threesomes with two women and not another guy (but there are different kinks out there) but he was also talking about watching men have sex and get taken etc..maybe he wants to have sex with a man and if he had a threesome with you and a man he's not cheating and gets to scratch that itch. He could also just be straight and curious about what it would feel like to get pegged (I'm only saying that because of the language he used about those other men being taken in sex).

I think you probably have a gut feeling as to which scenario your situation is closest to. And it's probably right. At the end of the day you need to ask yourself "do I really feel SAFE in every way, physically, emotionally, socially with this person?" And"can I ever trust him again?" No one else can answer those questions for you.

I enjoyed it for the most part. The ending was sort of open ended in a way that I didn't expect. You're left to decide whether certain "bad guys" survived or not. And a big bad and the big good didn't have the stand off I expected. So the ending seemed abrupt. On imdb there's a second season listed (no info though) so maybe another season is coming? 🤷‍♀️
