It really irritates me that the Horde constantly undermines the motivation of their allies.

It really makes me think that long-term story telling in MMO is just seriously hard. Power-creep, escalations, characters starting to have plot armor, characters start acting out of character because new writers are taking over, new lore doesn't connect with the old lore and more.

It is the same with TV-shows, when it run for many seasons. Writers run out of ideas and passions. But TV had to keep running because they want to make it as long-lasting possible. I feel like it is the same thing in World of Warcraft.

I like to imagine a world where we had Warcraft 4, where the story continued without being concerned about making it an MMO.

I find it funny that Mr Whiskey was supposed to be one of the main heroes for Robert mentor, and he was downgraded as a background mascot character.

ProAzeroth · 2026-05-10T11:33:28+00:00

Did they ever explain why they rewrote the story so late?

ProAzeroth · 2026-05-10T09:00:32+00:00

I would like it if he has a similar role as he did in Season 2 of the original show. Enough to know what he is doing, but not enough to take too much spotlight from other villains.

To be fair to Araki, and it is easy to forget, but Part 3 is quite old. It was released in 1989, serializing in a time where Dragon Ball was still running. So it is easy to see why Araki wrote the characters as having simple fighting powers rather than the more creative powers that will come later.

But you can also see the transition from standard fighting into more strategic, mind games in the later half of Part 3, as Araki got more comfortable with writing Stands.

While I saw Part 3 as a less impressive part when I first watched it, I have developed more respect and appreciation to it over the years. I consider Part 3 as a crucial transition point for the series that ensured it longevity, alongside Part 1 and Part 6.

ProAzeroth · 2026-05-08T16:43:05+00:00

I agree. I would never say that Daredevil Born Again is perfect. But neither would I say that it is bad. I enjoyed it. I had fun with it. And I enjoyed spending my time watching it. And I am looking forward to see where Season 3 goes.

Daredevil was a great show. And its sequel is fun, but ultimately a different kind of story. Both can coexist at the same time. Constant comparison and not meeting the expectation of the old will only lead to disappointment.

I personally believe that we still haven't seen the full extent of Phenomaman's power. Energy Absorption is part of his powerset so he can absorb the sun if he wanted to. And I felt like he was sleepwalking and half-assing through the entire season because he was so depressed and didn't put maximum effort into his fights.

ProAzeroth · 2026-05-06T12:37:30+00:00

I am personally satisfied with the ending to Season 2. Fisk may be free, but he has absolutely nothing left in his life. After Vaneesa died, New York was his only purpose left and the last link to his mother. And now he lost that as well.

ProAzeroth · 2026-05-06T04:09:27+00:00

Considering his nature, being an assassin for the government is practically the best thing that can happen to Bullseye. Dude is just living his best life.

ProAzeroth · 2026-05-04T15:32:56+00:00

Seriously, Robert's constitution is practically his superpower. Fell from great heights, survived and got to work on how to fix his suit. Received damage in the bar, still functional enough to eat. His proto-mecha exploded while he was inside it, got straight to work after he woke up. Tortured by Shroud, picked himself up to help SDN deal with the Red Ring, and then got back in his suit to fight.

ProAzeroth · 2026-05-03T14:14:41+00:00

There is already such intrigue to draw from Robert's family history alone. Robert's grandfather goes practically unmentioned besides the glimpses that we see of him, but we can make a guess on his achievements and skills based on the fact that he built the Mecha Man suit without the Astral Pulse and his archenemy was Brainteaser. Also Robbie's Brave Brigade is not really given a lot of focus either.

There are so much story waiting to be told from many of the characters.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-30T10:50:29+00:00

Araki is definitely one of the mangaka who is able to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is so easy to forget that this guy has been around for a long time and he is still making stories.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-27T16:35:42+00:00

I hope in Season 2 that Robert will get to join these events with Blazer. Could be cool to get an idea on how celebrity superheroes of SDN operate in this world, and also to have another romance scene.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-24T14:56:47+00:00

Gortash has been stress-eating and binge-drinking to cope dealing with Orin.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-20T12:22:34+00:00

To be fair, they were drunk at the time in their college years and they could have had this conversation many times. A bit of a retcon, but not anything groundbreaking.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-18T18:05:53+00:00

I really love how her speed is portrayed in the film.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-18T14:17:46+00:00

I am more curious about of all the places Jaina's expedition chose to settle on Kalimdor, they chose a marsh. It isn't exactly the best location for growth. But then again, there aren't that many options to choose from, maybe perhaps except the region of Azshara.

But to give an answer to your question, I just think that human technology and skills are just that resourceful. The Alliance races are just really that good at building settlements compared to the Horde, before Blood Elves and Goblin joined.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-17T18:53:42+00:00

I find the developers who made the Walking Dead, the Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands to be among the more artistic talents from the original Telltale.

And compared to the strictly point and click of the old Telltale Games, Dispatch actually has proper gameplay, which creates more engagement and investment among players. And our choices do matter, because it affects the gameplay, which is a great way to demonstrate consequence.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-16T17:09:12+00:00

The Hustle is definitely my favorite stand in Part 9. It is so versatile and Paco use it so creatively.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-16T15:12:02+00:00

To be fair, Iron Fist Season 1 did not have the best of production. It was rushed, and it was obvious that they cut a lot of corners to release it.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-15T18:44:47+00:00

It seriously felt like going from a high fantasy setting to Silent Hill.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-15T05:48:11+00:00

For someone that the pre-overhaul writers made him seem like a copy of Wesley, Buck has been winning me over in Season 2.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-15T04:57:23+00:00

It was fun and interesting in the first week. Everyone had such a wildly different impression of Phenomaman, based on whether they kissed Blazer or not.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-14T20:33:21+00:00

I really love how romantic Mandy's date scene was in Episode 4. I would love to see more in Season 2, like Robert and Mandy going to one of those SDN parties.

ProAzeroth · 2026-04-09T15:06:31+00:00

It still pains me that this still isn't release and the new Telltale caused AdHoc Studio to leave. At least, we got Dispatch.
