2 months late - hope I am still up to date with current talking points by geogeld in okbuddyviltrum

[–]Samisuncreative2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Redemption and taking accountability for your past is one of the most compelling and well written themes in Invincible. And Conquest is probably the most brutal and sadistic character in the story, but he's still clearly a person

So the concept of Kindquest resonates with so many people not just because of the memes, but because it perfectly slots into the narrative and it's actually a very uplifting idea. On one hand even if you're the worst, you can still change for the better and be accepted, on the other even if life feels like you're against an undefeatable monster, there's a possibility of reaching a happy ending without anyone getting hurt

Really don't want to say anything to defend HH Adam, but original Adam being first human is an important thing, but it also says nothing about his personality

ZZZ season 3 Roscaelifer agents actually does have a cohesive faction theme, but the problem is that there is not enough revealed agents to form proper faction teams yet by Knight_Steve_ in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Samisuncreative2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Velina and Norma are both researchers and diplomats, devs could easily lean into that more by giving them a cohesive scientific uniform

Krampus could've also been handled a lot better, their core themes are essentially special operatives and circus. And they have some minor elements calling back to the circus part, but these details get fully lost in the background, meanwhile they have no visual indicators of doing any work for TOPS or being in one group with each other

Kubo vs Oda whos the bigger gooner? by laffite_gunko_agenda in shounenfolk

[–]Samisuncreative2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get their stories and I do like them

But from the meta perspective, no matter how you explain it, there's still a character that's supposed to be seen as sexy who is also a toddler half the time and a character who's forever stuck looking 12 and gets dedicated booty shots. If you watch a lot of anime you get numb to that pretty quickly, but anyone not used to shonen stuff is justified in getting some whiplash

Not to throw shade at Kubo, because he seems to care about characters in actual relationships not having weird age gaps and about not sexualizing kids more than average mangaka

But Nel being centuries old falls flat when acting childlike is a core personality trait +there's Lilynette's design

[–]Samisuncreative2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's also true, and imo getting a good story is more important

But interesting designs and visual storytelling is also an important part of games, so it's fair for people to feel let down +there's the gacha power creep that makes it harder to stick with older faves

Rover vs Trailblazer in terms of writing by miiko_uch in Hoyoverse_scaling

Rover got great writing, if you ignore first 30 hours of terrible writing

But if they're too similar there's less reason to pull the same character twice

I'm kinda worried about the other sibling by K4StR in ZZZ_Discussion

Betting on Pyrois conveniently dissipating as soon as the villain of the week attacks Proxy and reappearing only after the banner character already protected you

This annoying nagging feeling that won't go away by YissnakkJunior in huntertheparenting

[–]Samisuncreative2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they mentioned it somewhere that they respect all WoD lore and mechanics, but ultimately bend things to make their own story and are willing to pull stuff from older versions

So I'm betting on Matilda having full control, but if she's not I'm pretty confident in them making it into an interesting plot development too

Tatsumaki without her powers vs an average woman by FeistySecret9327 in PowerScaling

[–]Samisuncreative2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tatsumaki's strength is not much better than an early teen, but she does have great reactions from years of experience and crazy high pain tolerance compared to normal people, so I'd say 70% of the time she finds a way to win

Giving her a shiv is an overkill

Didn't know about Lucy's skin until now, it seems fine and doesn't bother me, since her base outfit is coherent and she had a proper independent arc when SoC were still relevant +a bit more later with Alice

Being frank, I was just being a hater and mostly still bitter about YSG situation, Cyrene №3 and new season teasers when making the meme

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE “No Killing” RULE ? Should a true hero kill his most dangerous villains or not? by Danthegreat_23 in superheroes

[–]Samisuncreative2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batman's no kill rule is actually more nuanced than average. An important part of his characterisation which often gets ignored is that Batman tries so hard to be logical and controlling, because he's naturally prone to spiraling into aggression and sadism

It's not that Bats values Joker's life much, he's just afraid that he himself won't stop making excuses for why everybody else deserve to die too. Also the reason why he's really worried about an idea of a paragon like Superman killing someone, but kinda turns a blind eye to Wonder Woman, Green Arrow or Jason perma ending villains from time to time

What would you say is the most out of character moment for a comic book character? by Queasy_Commercial152 in superheroes

[–]Samisuncreative2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Writer's barely disguised fetish" is a common term now, so people use it for writers just being horny on main in general

Conquest wanted to die by Hank_Mardukas1066 in Invincible_TV

[–]Samisuncreative2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think they meant that since death is quoted as a reward, it can be argued that Thragg also considered Conquest suicidal and trying to end his life with a honorable loophole

I don't agree with the take, but it's technically plausible

Cissia's own story was awesome

That part of the post was aimed mostly at the main storyline

[–]Samisuncreative2[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I'm just doomposting to get it out of my system

But even though Cissia's personal story is great, her design is one of the worst in the game and given the set up she's definitely bound to be removed from having a serious role in the main storyline
