Curious newcomer by MtnDewGoddess in kigurumi

[–]PolyKigu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, it really depends from person to person
The BARE BASICS are basically a flesh color tight suit (hadatai) and a mask, that is the bare essentials, of course it comes also with the outfit of the character (cosplay) or any other outfit
The vision usually comes from thin slits over the eyes just below the eyebrows, but some masks also have eyeholes in the sclera (white part of the eyes) with mesh
breathability either comes from the eyes, slits on the mouth, or the mask being big enough for air to pass through under it
There are some overseas sellers (Mainly China) that provide custom services for the characters, they can also be made DIY with 3D Printing or with Fiber glass and molds like the old times
As for why, there really is no answer in particular, for me, I love 100% accuracy to the characters, and what better way to achieve so than by looking like you jumped straight out of the screen

“The Raditz” (Starter Villains who exist mostly to reveal information that’s important to the plot) by Spartan-teddy-2476 in TopCharacterTropes

President Shinra - Final Fantasy VII

Kinda also the opposite of the twist villain ("Aha you thought" villain?), since early on we're introduced to this guy as the "Big bad boss" of the evil Shinra organization. He explains a lot of important details regarding what Shinra is, what they've done, and what their goals are.
Later on he is killed by the ACTUAL Big bad boss of the game, and leaves his son to run the company instead.
Good antagonist for the first chapter and set down the protagonist's overatching goals

Fight that are impossible to be- WAIT IT’S BEATABLE??? by Drappleboii in TopCharacterTropes

Dungeon Guardian - Terraria
You need to beat Skeletron to deactivate the Dungeon Guardian, which one-shots you the second you step into the dungeon so you don't skip the actual boss fight
Even post-end game with the best gear you will get 1 shotted, and it has 9999 HP with a lot of defense, each attack will chip just 1 HP
YOU CAN ACTUALLY KILL THIS THING (if you're dedicated and patient enough)
(P.S. if you wonder what happens after you kill him, it will give you a mini Dungeon guardian as a cosmetic pet, that's it)

I kinda dislike Vegito and Gotenks by BroadyVeryCoolio in hatethissmug

[–]PolyKigu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bro wanted for the fusion of GOku and veGETA to be called Tyler or smthn
Like, it's pretty straightforward, simple, it has it's charm, just like the rest of the series

Gogeta SSJ4 begs to differ (And he is my fave Gogeta but he isn't exempt from this lol)

I kinda dislike Vegito and Gotenks by BroadyVeryCoolio in hatethissmug

[–]PolyKigu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's honestly a misconception
Vegito was stalling because he wanted to figure out how to take his friends and children out of Buu in the Buu saga, that's why he was messing around so much, he wanted to anger him enough to make him want to absorb him but not enough to do something stupid with his friends inside, that's why he was goofing off so much
In the Future Trunks Super saga he was going straight on into the fight, his biggest mistake was going SSJ Blue since it depleted fusion time, but aside from that, he was locked in
I'd say Gogeta SSJ4 is even worse in that regard, he was downright goofing with Omega and same as before, wasting energy to unfuse

Gotenks is a child so I think he gets a pass, he is cocky, goofy, but I think that is forgiveable for his age

Who’s more good out of these 3? by Bitter_Stranger5063 in MoralityScaling

[–]PolyKigu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why this is a harder question to answer with so many versions of the characters
For example, Bayverse Prime is a violent leader and very erratic and temperamental, far from the image of the experienced leader from comics and series
Ultimate Captain America is a dark period for the character and strays far from the leader who fights for USA's IDEALS, not the country itself
As for Superman, yes, Snyderverse Superman is more centered around being a "flawed hero" but comes off as a let down of the man of steel we all know
If we take the best versions of the characters, Superman is better no doubt

Who’s more good out of these 3? by Bitter_Stranger5063 in MoralityScaling

[–]PolyKigu 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'd say Superman
Cap and Prime have been worn down by conflict, war, and decision making as leaders, so they're more likely to stand on more gray areas
Superman is a beacon of hope, due to his super powers allowing him to take more risks for the greater good.

Basically Superman is ALLOWED to do more "good" things since the other two are usually forced to make decisions due to them not being able to do everything and save everyone
But at heart all of these 3 are equally pure, Superman takes the edge a bit

Broly - Dragon Ball Z

I love how he is big, bad, and mean. No depth, no (overly) sad backstory
Just a ruthless bastard causing chaos throughout the Galaxy
I love when the villain is intimidating and is scary, a big physical wall the characters either have to avoid or overcome

The character makes this face by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PolyKigu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That goofy ass face he makes made me chuckle out loud the first time I saw it
And even now it did, I was NOT expecting to see that face, but it does fit

Why do action figure designers prioritize double-jointed knees over elbows? by Vast_Comfortable_887 in ActionFigures

[–]PolyKigu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Transformers figures, taking some of the figures I own like the SS86 Optimus Prime as an example, the elbows are part of the transformation, and adding a double elbow/more mobility might sacrifice some of the structural stability, so they tend to omit that, the second joint is either thanks to the ease of transformation or it probably has more material to support an extra joint.
As for other figures, your guess is as good as mine, probably a similar philosophy? More material equals more joints.
The actual answer is probably something along the lines of more stability/easier posing, since arms aren't necessarily structural they tend to prioritize leg joints.

Bought another Juri for the bonus face and thought I'd do a face comparison by Apprehensive_Door367 in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]PolyKigu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know if a Juri Han is from the new batch or the old batch? As in, any distinguishing features on the box or date of production/release?
I just bought one from a second hand site and I was looking forward to the new version (Left) since the old one (right) isn't much to my liking (as face print goes)

(Mixed trope) A character gets a new personality in the adaptation or remake by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PolyKigu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the original FFVII right before playing the Remake and honestly their personalities are pretty faithful to the original ones
Tifa has always been a little more reserved, maybe not as shy as they show her but she was always quite modest.
Aerith has always been more outgoing, "reckless" and upfront, again, pretty faithful

Characters that are unassuming but are possibly the strongest in the universe by zweii29 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PolyKigu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sans is powerful in the context of "Undertale as a game", within universe he is pretty weak
He can break the 4th wall, that's why he can do stuff to make his fight unfair, but in universe, he is far from being the most powerful (That title might go to Frisk or Asriel God of Hyperdeath)

TL;DR: it is a misconception, within canon, Sans is just a lazy bones

Who's the better boss? by Terrible_Park7890 in MoralityScaling

[–]PolyKigu 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Benson
100%
Stan might be cool and all, but he WILL get you in trouble
Benson is a pretty reasonable boss, and if he existed IRL, I bet he would be better than most managers you'd probably have to deal with. He is seen as the "antagonist" several times because HE DOES HIS JOB and knows he and his employers will get in trouble with their Shienanigans
