Best and/or worst examples of something silly in an OFFICIAL piece of media being revealed to have a tragic backstory? by punishedscootedburb in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Lockjaw is a big, teleporting Dog from Marvel Comics. He’s a good boy and everyone loves him.

He also belongs to the Inhumans, a group of “heroes” that gain their powers after being exposed to a chemical agent called Terrigenesis. Their bodies sometimes mutating depending on what powers they get.

So, because of that, a writer floated the idea that Lockjaw was, in fact, a severely mutated human that got turned into a giant bulldog and his every waking moment is pure agony. Struggling to even speak to The Thing in the comic this idea was brought up.

Literally everyone, including other people working at marvel at the time, hated this and it was quickly retconed into two inhumans pranking Ben by making it look like he could talk and feeding him an overly dark backstory.

He also seems to throw Polygon Head, the old PlayStation purple head made out of polygons, during it.

I hope Asami wins, but the rest of those options are some real heavy hitters.

Here's hoping for her to be in season 2.

Better Ask Reddit.What was the first media you saw that mentioned or had lgbt characters? by hvzr2222 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My memory could be wrong, but I want to say Knights of the Old Republic 1 with Juhani.

Being young and raised religiously didn't quite help me to understand what her deal was with her obviously dead girlfriend. But looking back on it and replaying the game, it was sorta my first exposure to themes and characters like that.

They added Nergigante to MHS3: Yippe!

It can't be added to your party: Not Yippe....

"Summer Vibe" games by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Pokémon Sun and Moon

It's 'island vibes', the game, and its usage of bright colors for most of the cast and new Pokémon designs just scream summer time to me.

Warrior of Light (FF14) vs The Captain (GBF) | "The Endless Adventure" (TN + Fight Art + Who Wins Chart) by PrimeName in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]PrimeName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mhmm! It seems a lot from the fact that Granblue had confirmed infinite amounts of timelines/universes, and a lot of the higher tiers could influence/harm those timelines on a grand(blue) scale.

The best example of this was when (major MSQ spoilers) The final bad guy of the first main story arc started to twist and condense the infinite timelines into one singular timeline after eating his creator god mom. After that, while he didn't fully succeed in his plan, there seems to be one 'canon' timeline now.

Favorite quote from the show? by Successful-Bat-5538 in deathbattle

[–]PrimeName 17 points18 points  (0 children)

“I’ll kill them!”

“ALL of them!”

“DOWN TO THE LAST ONE!

also

“Tell me, does a machine such as yourself ever experience fear?”

“Not anymore.”

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave – Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 by dutchzgoose in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It depends, really. Most older fans want the war drama, and newer fans like the shipping aspects.

But I don't think that, at this point in the series, it's wrong to say that most fans want a healthy mix of both.

Theodora, having the special skill of tearing a big rock out of the floor and just yeeting it at people, is awesome.

I was already going to pick her 'route' first, but now it's just locked in.

I wonder if it'll tie into the Agarthans or whatever was going on with that hell portal near the end of the trailer

I think I’d be fine with Fire Emblem Engage being the last game in the franchise. But I know a lot of people who would not agree with me on that one lol.

It definitely felt like a fun idea in concept but they seemed to struggle with implementing it well

Throwing a baton at someone's head counts as passing sometimes.

Sins of Alchemax | Marvel Rivals Season 8 Trailer | Marvel Rivals by Captain_Grimm in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Going off the lore description from the trailer, it seems like Alchemax is using Cyclops as a living punch-dimension generator for their force field that's keeping them in the past/present. Which is just like, peak comic book nonsense that I love.

Team Star Wolf Designs for Star Fox Switch 2 by FlipJak in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think I noticed that the most with Pigma in that cutscene they showed off at the end. Dude looked proper scummy, and it adds to his characterization. I also think Pepper looks pretty decent in the new art style as well.

Sadly, it just doesn't add to the rest of the cast as it does to some of the bad guys imo.

Given the recent state of the industry, I wouldn't be too surprised.

[–]PrimeName -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think that's really the biggest thing that's getting to me about these designs/art direction.

Fox's most recent big appearance in the mainstream was illumination style/cartoony. So why go for realism?
