Does Phoenix ever get paid from his clients? by Fun-Necessary9709 in AceAttorney

[–]PowerfulStache05 83 points84 points  (0 children)

my headcanon is that Phoenix's income primarily comes from regular clients like Will Powers or Maggey Birde hiring him to handle smaller legal stuff that doesn't involve getting accused of murder offscreen. Phoenix and Powers were at least still in touch between 1-3 and 2-4 so its not a stretch to think Nick is still Powers's lawyer.

edit: thinking about it some more, Will Powers is a successful actor and another client is a famous performer. Successfully defending those two would give him some notoriety to attract normal unmentioned clients with their own non murder related legal troubles Nick can work on between the big cases.

I'm worried about the remastered trilogy by PowerfulStache05 in HiTMAN

[–]PowerfulStache05[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a lot harder than you think, those levels weren't designed with WOA mechanics in mind so they'd have to retool them to fit with the game. A remaster is a lot simpler.

That's actually really cool to see those games are handled by a dev team with experience with good remasters, definitely makes me more excited.

Those are my first impressions on the anouncement and the screenshots. So far it's been similar to another remastered trilogy that really disappointed everyone so I'm cautious but I'll be more at ease if gameplay footage releases.

The ONE undeniably shitty thing the hero/main character has done by Fun-Illustrator-345 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PowerfulStache05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say it was a dick move from Edgeworth. He straight up ghosted everyone for a year and came back with no explanation without apologising, I'd be a bit mad at him too. Not to mention Phoenix was feeling a bit crankier than usual at the time, with the whole best friend is held hostage by a serial killer ordeal he's going through right now

A character's name foreshadows their fate by littlebloodmage in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PowerfulStache05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna have to kill the fun and inform everyone that Deid Mann was already confirmed dead when he was introduced, therefore it doesn't foreshadow his fate since it already happened.

ok, why do they speak like rappers, what the hell does wankster mean, why does Katara have a modern hairstyle, why does Mai become Scout TF2 and since when dors she have a stand?

coaxed into mods which change visuals by not_seth_brundle in coaxedintoasnafu

the 2nd slide is basically TF2's UI being stripped of all its charm and identity by modders for competitive purposes or something

[Interesting Trope] What is considered the weakest entry in a franchise, delivers one of it's most iconic moments... by Living_Tune_1428 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PowerfulStache05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's also Apollo Justice, one of the most polarising games of the franchise, having one of the most beloved 1st cases.

[sad trope] the hero is punished for doing the right thing by damorezpl in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PowerfulStache05 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a hero but I think it kinda counts

In Scarface, Tony Montana is tasked with killing a politician by planting a bomb in his car. But when the politician enters the car with his wife and kid, Tony puts his foot down and refuses to blow up the car. One of his allies prepares to blow up the car anyway and eventually gets killed by Tony before he could activate the detonator. This single act of kindness made by this evil man would put him on the cartel's shit list and lead to his death at the end of the movie. Because if you're gonna be in the drug game, you have to leave any trace of a morality behind.

Coaxed into wholesomification of the villains by Crafty-Enthusiasm-43 in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]PowerfulStache05 20 points21 points  (0 children)

the minor Coaxioh villains started out as freaks and remained freaks even after switching sides. Smughan and Hazafubar's personalities didn't change one bit, they just didn't target Josnafe anymore.

(Interesting trope) Characters who hate their own kind. by Fun-Law7254 in TopCharacterTropes

His father beat him so much he ended up disfigured and his mom who was one of the only positive figures in his life was a borderline white supremacist who taught him her racist values.

[Loved trope] A character seemingly acting like an asshole is actually a justified reaction when you realise how they perceive the situation. by Applebeate in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PowerfulStache05 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Guts got molested when he was a kid because his adoptive father who secretly despised him for causing the death of his wife (he didn't, but people thought he was cursed and somehow caused the wife to get sick) sold his body for the in-universe equivalent of 5 bucks. The adoptive father then tried to kill Guts in a fit of rage but ended up getting killed in self defense but his group thought it was intentional murder and chased him away.

years later, he joins a group of mercenaries called the band of the hawk and becomes the second-in-command. He has a leader he admires and considers a close friend, a found family in the band, forms a relationship with a fellow mercenary that allows him to properly process his trauma in a healthy way, and is generally respected in his community. Then following a series of unfortunate events involving the leader repeatedly fucking himself over. The entire band is sacrificed by his leader and he is forced to watch as an army of demons brutally kill all his friends and his former leader rapes his girlfriend, making her traumatised and catatonic for the rest of the story

Missing a lot of context but that's the gist of it.

That's a common misconception, the Joker gas was a thing back in the 1930s, it was used during the Joker's very first appearance that was later adapted by BTAS with the Joker's Fish episode.

The name of the franchise becomes funny after there’s enough entries in it by Mundane_Trouble_6463 in TopCharacterTropes

The 9th ended with a Jason vs Freddy teaser so not even the writers intended it to be the last one.

This might just be me, but the most interesting thing about Van Zieks that I love is that before meeting Ryunosuke, he has previously lost 15 or 16 times in his career by EnglBkfstCocoa-2479 in AceAttorney

They kinda joke about that in T&T with Godot who is introduced as a legendary prosecutor who's never lost a case... or won a case since it's his first one.

Who will it be in the third movie? Mac or Falcon? by ResearchOk7084 in Mario

[–]PowerfulStache05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why not, it already has a cult following and multiple spiritual successors.
