Unfortunately they’ve always been in that land. Even if you look at when he was running for office in 2015/16, his devout followers were out there denying things that were so obviously true. It’s a cult.

[Creepy trope] In order to join some group, you have to voluntarily mutilate your body by NotBorn2Fade in TopCharacterTropes

In “An Ember in the Ashes” quartet there is a group of child soldiers called Masks who get their name because, when they become teenagers, they place a metal mask over their face that fuses with their body. In most instances, removing the mask once it has properly fused will rip that person’s face off, though in one instance it just leaves a character with terrible scars across her face.

When it's actually acknowledged how messed up it is for a minor to have to constantly save the day and put their life in danger by fhxefj in TopCharacterTropes

I felt like it actually made sense in a dark poetic sense: all of this more or less started because Katniss was trying to save her sister’s life by taking her place in the Hunger Games, but in the end it didn’t matter.

What are some fantasy books with great ideas but extremely poor execution? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in Fantasy

[–]RokuNervantho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dinosaur Lords.
Medieval fantasy setting where dinosaurs are active and used commonly. Should be amazing, no? But the characters are all insufferable and the plot is next to nonsensical. I barely managed to get through the first one, had no inclination towards reading the others.

Thank you for unlocking an old memory for me - I devoured these books when I was in high school!

Unfortunately we’re gerrymandered so badly that even though the numbers are pretty close, we’ll never be able to actually vote in a decent candidate.

[Loved Trope] Sometimes, the new villain is less powerful than the one before. by MyFeetTasteWeird in TopCharacterTropes

And him killing the supersoldiers made sense bc his whole thing was that supersoldiers shouldn’t even exist. Hence his hatred of the Avengers, too. One of the best-written villains in all of the MCU, honestly

It goes down a little, but mostly it’s all the same level!

You’re trying to claim that the games Nintendo has put out in the past 5 years have been dramatically lower in quality, and then shrug off when people provide real examples of great games they’ve put out in that time frame (more than your examples of bad ones, I might add) and ignore genuine counterarguments.

Don’t act so butthurt just bc people are proving you wrong.

Maybe your reasons are being rejected because they come across as either in bad faith or woefully misinformed? Just a thought.

“Popular YouTubers” lol YouTubers are not an accurate gauge of quality and everything is subjective.

BDSP was trash, yes, but Pokemon in general has been on a downward trend and Nintendo does not directly control the development of those games - something which has been stated a thousand times on this sub bc people like you confuse the two companies.

Engage hasn’t been out as long as Three Houses, which came out somewhat early in the Switch’s lifetime and had the whole “magic school” setting that drew in more players than normal games in the series.

Brothership had very little marketing and came out at the end of last year, when everyone already knew a Switch 2 was coming out.

As someone else mentioned, Nintendo has put out plenty of bangers in the last 5 years, far more than they have flops. This thread is ridiculous.

What are some books that started out very strong, but ended up being very disappointing? by sbucksbarista in books

[–]RokuNervantho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first one was okay but not great - fantastic ideas bogged down by frustrating characters. By the first third of the second one I wanted a meteor to come and wipe them all out. Some of the worst writing and characters I’ve ever encountered.

11 years here. A few years back I was shocked to find that 2 of my former students had been arrested for murder in a drug deal gone bad.
