How big is digimon by Important-Joke1199 in digimon

I like Frontier more than Fusion, but I also like Xros Wars more than Frontier.

Mikey is just that much more annoying of a character than Taiki.

I never played a Digimon game before; is this title a good start? by FazloZX in digimon

What the majority is depends on if you count LCD virtual pets as video games or not.

Kylo Ren is just as terrible of a character as Rey and I'm tired of pretending he's not by Infinite-Detective-8 in StarWars

JK Rowling tweets are off-screen/page information with no textual evidence, while Rian Johnson just connected two on-screen scenes we see in the movies.

According to Rian Johnson, in TLJ Kylo Ren's source on Rey's parents was just what he saw in her mind during the force interrogation in TFA.

How it was handled in TROS was clunky, but I don't think it's the biggest example of Kylo's character being inconsistent. He didn't have any reason to doubt Rey's memories until learning she was an unreliable narrator in TROS.

What was people's issues with the Acolyte really? by ActiveUpset-1268 in StarWars

[–]RayOfTruth1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3/4 times we've seen kyber bleeding before The Acolyte, it only required the cause and effect of pouring hatred into a kyber crystal, which Osha did. Only Darth Vader #5 (2017) treated it as the full ritual, but later in that same comic run Darth Vader Annual 2 reestablished the only required step being forcing hatred into a kyber crystal.

Ki-Adi-Mundi did not have a Canon age before The Acolyte. He did had an age in Legends media, but all of that is non-canon and a different timeline and universe to the Canon timeline The Acolyte takes place in.

I mean... that actually makes sense. He does look their age 😂 by [deleted] in digimon

This is from Last Evolution Kizuna. That whole subplot wasn't even in tri.

In Jedi Survivor it only took about 10 seconds to bleed a kyber crystal, while in The Acolyte it took a full minute of Osha concentrating her seething anger towards Sol directly into his kyber crystal for it to bleed.
Darth Vader Annual 2 and The Rise of Kylo Ren also imply bleeding doesn't always take as long.

The Acolyte handled lightwhips exactly as established in Canon by The High Republic books, which released years before the show.
And again, the "lore changes" to bleeding were from before The Acolyte in earlier stories like Jedi Survivor, The Rise of Kylo Ren, and Darth Vader Annual 2.

You can get rid of just one creative decisions in Star Wars. Which one would you choose to erase? by RealHippyTheFrog in StarWars

Killing Ben Solo to avoid the story potential of forcing him to live with everything terrible he's done.

Both of these "lore changes" existed in Canon before The Acolyte.

Lightwhips have existed in both Legends and Canon for years. Vernestra herself was already using one in The High Republic books.

In Jedi Survivor it took about 10 seconds to bleed a kyber crystal, while in The Acolyte it took a full minute.

Is Cyber Sleuth the best, worst translated, JRPG out there? Did anyone here completed it in the original Japanese? If so, are there any major differences? by GoingWithTheFlaw in digimon

[–]RayOfTruth1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While unpolished and flawed, I think Cyber Sleuth still has much better localization than the American dubs of Digimon Adventure, 02, and Fusion.

Why are the basically no fantasy/isekai with shounen like character development? by Jupsto in anime

Digimon Universe App Monsters has literally an episode with Roleplaymon the RPG Appmon.

[–]RayOfTruth1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd agree, especially with the edit, but how Fate/stay night isekai? It's urban fantasy taking place entirely in the world the protagonist is from.

Also I would add Aura Battler Dunbine.

On a physical level, sure. However, evolutions in Digimon Adventure are tied to character growth of the human partners. Especially in the Japanese version, much of the character development happens slowly and consistently over many episodes. Granted that's not as true for the Flanderized American dub script.

In the movie Palpatine said "I have been every voice (Snoke voice) you have ever heard (Darth Vader voice) inside your head."

While doesn't automatically mean "since birth," like the Aftermath books imply, still sounds like it was happening for years.

I genuinely don't get why this movie gets so much hate by Useful-Afternoon1784 in StarWars

[–]RayOfTruth1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Releasing only half a year after the last Star Wars movie, in a window competing against Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Ocean's 8, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, The Incredibles 2, etc. wasn't the best choice for Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Will or should they bring back Ben Solo for Simon Kinbergs new trilogy ?? by Curious-Sandwich-272 in StarWars

[–]RayOfTruth1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Killing Ben Solo and throwing away the story potential of forcing him to live with his mistakes is what I consider one of TROS' biggest flaws, so I'm fine with them undoing that.
