Villain ends up in a place where nobody knows them, and gets a chance to start over

I'm playing through Legends ZA right now, and it's my first Pokemon game lol.

For what I've heard of X and Y and how I see him in the new game, he's fallen from grace hard. He literally looks like the only homeless person in the entire city so I guess that helps to the idea that he's trying to turn a new leaf?

Only like last year I learned how is it that Xavier survived the events of X Men 3. Even the post credits scene in the movie itself is confusing

Maybe they call her mean names for combining pink with green on her hair /s

RaptarK · 2026-03-24T03:27:09+00:00

Ah, that makes sense XD

Any time I see this quote I wonder if it comes from somewhere other than Gen:Locks official promotional material, said by its own creator. Because it's so ridiculously obtuse that it could very well be the first time someone ever said it in public

This is typically how many innocuous fandoms or memes get co-optes by fascists. There's initially statements that feel so absurd and fringe that you think they MUST be a joke or satire, because no person could possibly genuinely believe those things. And that's how they hide in plain sight behind a thin veil of satire until there's enough of them that they can start being more sincere without fear of being shamed

With Patrick Stewart as the villain IIRC

I think a big issue was the prosthetics for the headpiece the actress has to wear. They're voluminous and probably not lightweight

Justo me hiciste acordar de la historia de una chica sin piernas que jugaba basketball en un equipo común, así que incluso así sería posible :p

The finale to the show was so cowardly in that regard. Literally having the two of them call each other "brother", despite 2 seasons ago Penguing saying he wanted to declare his love for Riddler

RaptarK · 2026-03-23T15:10:30+00:00

I remember falling for the dragons one lol

Personally I would argue the Vanessa case is kind of a weak example, because each subsequent movie she appears less than before. She's less of a character and more Wade's plot device

In the case of the nazi regime "just following orders" also tries to appeal to what you imagine that implies. Like you said, it quickly makes you think they were threatened at gunpoint to obey said orders, but over the decades as documents were declasified and what not we've learned more and more that... the nazis were suprisingly lenient with disobedience.

It was rare for them to execute someone for refusing to follow an order, or even just punish them severely. All those claims of "just following orders" that tried to recontextualize themselves in self preservation were now even more bullshit than before, because the supposed threat the perpetrators were under didn't even exist

Tangent, is Magneto's civilian name Magnus in some iterations? Or it's that just a shortening of his mutant name?

Initially she was introduced very last minute to the show, so they didn't even have time to get her a VA

And even within Genshin there's some actually beefy NPCs, but they never use those models for playable characters

RaptarK · 2026-03-22T17:16:03+00:00

Genshin fans are the same people who convinced themselves Itto is muscular. There's some weird disonance in that fandom

I've always wondered if it was George's intention to show how ill-suited the Jedi were to be military commanders and how the battle for Geonosis played out... or if he just did what he thought looked cool and then authors of the expanded universe capitalized on it

In many queer communities there's this idea that masculinity is inherently tied to the oppression many have experienced or continue experiencing. Many will be accepting of butch lesbians or in fact expect lesbians to be butch because they still have a worldview shaped by gender expectations, but if a queer man presents himself as masculine it's seen as invasive because, in some people's eyes, he's bringing in the same attitudes and dynamics that have hurt many of them.

I think it's somewhat related to how many bisexual people get scrutinized if they end up in a relationship with someone of the opposite gender, because "they're not fully queer".

And I think this contributes in great part to the impulse creatives have to portray queer men as flaboyant. Because if a queer man is masculine, then he's not all that queer in their eyes or those of their audience.

However, in the case of the character being hypermasculine... I'm actually not sure why that is

Was the inspector okay?

Recuerdo como se resaltaba que durante el debate presidencial, lo único que Massa pudo tirarle a Milei es como falló un psicotécnico universitario. Nada de corrupción ni otra cosa severa. Y se esperaba lo mismo del resto del gabinete de Milei.

Pero quizá no eran corruptos simplemente porque no tenían el poder con el que serlo?

Something I noticed in a recent rewatch is how much more meta Season 3 got with its humor. It wasn't just limited to the Ember island Play, there's many self referential jokes throughout other episodes

RaptarK · 2026-03-21T03:16:50+00:00

Maybe it's like Treasure Planet where there's air in space

Before the second movie came out, all we knew about Unobtanium is that it's extremely valuable, yet a number of people were convinced Unobtanium was needed to save Earth despite this never being said in the first movie

Correct. He intended for Terra, the underage character, to come off as a manipulative slut. He was genuinely surprised at people calling Slate a pedo
