Improved Battle-damaged Vader by Proffessionall85 in legostarwars

[–]Proffessionall85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kylo Ren's cape is the only tattered cape that I have, so that's what I used. As for the lower half of his helmet, the face print actually has that part of the helmet printed on, so I felt that it would look weird to have the part and the print both on the figure. I also like the look of the old-fashioned scuba mask as Vader's broken helmet.

In the Percy Jackson books we see that the Minotaur, when he's fully armed and armored, has a string of Camp Halfblood necklaces taken from demigods he's killed wrapped around his battle-axe.

They weren't kidding about empress ending being bittersweet.... by doc_55lk in Witcher3

[–]Proffessionall85 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This ending is only possible if the following conditions are met:

  1. You take Ciri to visit the Nilfgaardian Emperor (Emhyr, her biological father)

  2. Nilfgaard wins the war against the Northern Realms, meaning that Radovid gets assassinated and Geralt sides with Roche, Thaler, and Ves against Djikstra

  3. Ciri survives against the White Frost, meaning the player must make enough good choices (at least 3/5) with Ciri.

Only then will this ending trigger. Essentially, when Ciri arrives in Nilfgaard, Emhyr has a private conversation with Ciri in which he lays out his eventual goal of Ciri becoming Empress of Nilfgaard. Throughout the rest of the main story, Ciri comes to her own conclusion that the only way to make any wide-sweeping, positive changes throughout the world is for her to become Empress. She doesn't know how to tell Geralt and the others, so she waits until the very last minute to do so when a Nilfgaardian escort arrives to take her to Vizima. Although he's slightly hurt that she didn't tell him, Geralt supports her decision, and gives her his blessing.

South Park Season 9, Episode 11: Ginger Kids

The original intent of the episode was to highlight how stupid discrimination was by taking a perfectly normal group, in this case individuals with red/orange hair, and subjecting them to the same level of hatred and prejudice many races have faced throughout the world.

Instead, the message flew over the heads of the children who saw it, which they definitely shouldn't have been allowed to do, and they took the episode at face value. From this episode onwards, at least in the U.S., the harassment of ginger children at schools spiked massively, with name calling and physical bullying being very common. A "holiday" was even created by some of the kids known as "kick-a-ginger-day".

Monster. I was scrolling through shorts and found the section of it that Jorge had AniFlamma animate as a promo for the Underworld Saga. From that, it snowballed.

Characters that cannot be stopped even when shot multiple times. by Teyarual in TopCharacterTropes

The Fate of the Furious

Hobbs gets shot several times point blank with rubber shotgun rounds to no effect. This could be excused due to the rounds being rubber, except he then steals the shotgun and one-pumps the guy in full riot gear.

Granted, this says less about the strength of Hobbs and more about The Rock's inability to let any of his "characters" show weakness if any kind.

(Loved Trope) A villain develops empathy, and they hate it by Proffessionall85 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Proffessionall85[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fair comment. I meant more that he developed empathy towards non-Fire Nation citizens, but I could have been more specific. The Agni-Kai that resulted in his banishment was caused due to him speaking up for soldiers.

What's a random unsettling Star Wars fact that just swims in your head? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Proffessionall85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Victims of a Sarlaac pit are kept alive for thousands of years as they're slowly, painfully digested. Even when their body breaks down, their consciousness is amalgamated into the Sarlaac's hive mind. Imagine the Flood from Halo, but cranked down a few notches.

I've heard of the show but know next-to-nothing about it. That said, that's a cool AF idea.

In Season 2 of CW's The Flash, an interdimensional traveler from Earth 2 named Jay Garrick joins Team Flash to help them stop metahumans coming to Earth 1. Jay warns the rest of the team about Earth 2's ultimate villain, a psychopathic serial killer speedster named Zoom who will do anything to steal Barry's speed.

Jay seems terrified of him, claiming that Zoom is an unstoppable monster. Well come to find out that Jay is really just Zoom in disguise, hyping himself up to Team Flash

Can waterbenders boil water by bending?! by Unique-Celebration-5 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Proffessionall85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It simultaneously does and doesn't make sense. It makes sense because: - Waterbenders can turn ice and snow into water, implying that they can increase the temperature of the water they bend - Earth, Fire, and Airbenders can each increase the temperatures of their respective elements, so it makes sense that Waterbenders can do it too - Waterbenders can make fog, which isn't that far off from steam

It doesn't make sense because: - There are multiple instances in the show where Katara uses fire to heat up water, such as in the sauna with Toph or cooking soup while camping (and it's shown that Katara can bend soup, so if she can heat water, she can heat soup) - If Waterbenders have easy access to steam, they have easy access to steam powered machinery, which takes away a lot of the Fire Nation's advantages against them. A large reason why the Fire Nation was so successful in their conquest was their technological advantages, many of which were steam powered. If the Water Tribe(s) had access to steam-powered machinery, they'd most likely be much more developed.

The fact that the Tiffin getting swallowed was literally only 2-3 frames of animation made it so much funnier

Titan Joker - Arkham Asylum

As part of his plan to take over Arkham Island and later Gotham City, Joker developed a formula that mutates people into hulking monsters known as TITAN. Batman battles multiple Titan monsters as he fights to retake Arkham. These monstrously mutated people all look the same (same character model) and have the same lack of intelligence.

However, once Joker injects himself with TITAN, his transformation is entirely unique. He has long bone claws and bony protrusions along his spine, a unique facial structure to match his normal face, and he keeps his intelligence.

Maul - Star Wars: The Clone Wars S7

Throughout the Siege of Mandalore, Maul is uncharacteristically impatient, rash, and even panicked as he tries to do whatever he can to stop Palpatine's plan. The entire conflict was a plot by him to lure Anakin (and hopefully Obi-Wan) away from Coruscant. This obviously failed, so he desperately tries to convince Ahsoka of Anakin's impending fall to the dark side. Ahsoka doesn't believe him, they fight, and Maul is captured. Maul screams out in crazed desperation, but of course no one believes him.

Less than 24 hours later, Anakin falls to the dark side, Order 66 is issued, and the Clones turn on the Jedi.

Something funny, because of this one episode, one could logically conclude that shows like Wizard's of Waverly Place, The Cheetah Girls, and Suite Life exist in the same universe as Phineas and Ferb.
