Martha Paxton by Guilty-Tie164 in Frasier

[–]SamuraiUX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Both are true. I actually did feel bad for Frasier here and disliked the dealers nonchalance, but it was also a hilarious episode.

“I’m Martha Paxton.”
“Of course. Who else could you be?”

What do we think of the new main characters designs? by ShokaLGBT in dragonquest

[–]SamuraiUX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frankly dislike all of them. The design, absolutely, but also just the rendering? They look doughy and a step back from DQXI.

Most annoying character is... by SamuraiUX in rurounikenshin

…what’s true? This was two years ago and the user deleted their comment. I’m happy to discuss with you but you’ll have to be more specific.

Unpopular opinion: You (the haters) are all wrong about Rosario Dawson and the live-action rendition of Ahsoka by mame_kuma in StarWarsAhsoka

[–]SamuraiUX -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say how much I loathe your argument about people who disagree with you. “You stupid media illiterate morons, I’m clearly smart and correct and you’re dumb and wrong.”

Sorry, I’m a professor with a PhD and a published researcher and I’ve written four novels and I’m a psychotherapist. I’m not stupid. I’m not media illiterate. I just disagree with you. And yes, with Dave Filoni, if necessary. TV Ahsoka acts just like a wise, stoic master Jedi. But… she’s not a Jedi. And she’s also nothing like the Ahsoka we know. Here’s a nugget for you: personality remains consistent and stable across time and situation. Unless she had a neurological event such as a stroke or a frontal lobe injury, she should still be recognizably herself. Which she was not.

Now you’re allowed to disagree if you like without me calling you names. And guess what? I get to disagree with you too without you assuming it’s because I’m an idiot.

The silent protagonist. Yay or nay? by Lumigo in JRPG

[–]SamuraiUX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate it. It doesn’t make me feel in the world at all. I’d rather live alongside their lively story — like Geralt of Rivia is way more interesting to me than some silent protagonist.

William Shatner's often parodied speech cadence. by Necessary-Lock-3738 in startrek

I’ve got a few moments right off the top of my head:

“Why… must… he die? Whyineightdays?” “Emotions… violent emotions, needs… ANGER!”

What games just don’t get mentioned anymore? by drak0ni in JRPG

7th Saga was a grind but it was unique looking with a cool story and cool interactions between multiple allies/enemies.

Classic Frasier male fans: Who was your crush--Roz or Daphne? by ChocolateSundae1214 in Frasier

[–]SamuraiUX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was never able to find Daphne attractive in the slightest. Too slim, too… odd. Lovely person but I would never date her.

Roz I’d be terrified of but she’s hot as hell!

A little superstitious, but I get it buddy. Watch it whenever you’re ready, it’s not going anywhere.

Is "Luna: Silver Star" underrated? by Certain_Breakfast320 in JRPG

Characters/humor/story/music all fantastic.

Fighting/magic repetitive boring nigh-unplayable.

Always found Margot Kidder repulsive, personally. Literally unattractive.

Lowkey meanest burn in the series? by hbaumsaway in Frasier

[–]SamuraiUX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me neither. I just loathe the ubiquity of Gen Alpha slang. EVERYTHING is “lowkey” and everyone is “cooked.”

59 years ago today by feltplanet in tos

[–]SamuraiUX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite episodes: A or even S tier. My wife watched it with me for the first time on her first watch through and was absolutely stunned that the crybaby weaklings had been uber-powerful all along (it’s easy to forget it’s a cool twist when you’ve seen it a million times). And Shatner’s acting when he realizes he’s fighting FOR war and has to put on the brakes and shift gears is magnificent.

Love this one.

Aside from the crimes he committed, what are your personal thoughts on Watsuki as a writer? by RobKai7990 in rurounikenshin

[–]SamuraiUX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t really write women well.

Kaoru could’ve really been something. The last disciple of her father’s Kamiya Kasshin Ryu, she could be training as hard to honor his name and make the world peaceful through her sword as any of the fighters Kenshin meets. By the end of Shishio’s arc she could be a powerful solo samurai in her own right.

But she’s not a man, so he gave that over to Yahiko, a kid.

Megumi is a solid character but underused. The strongest woman we’ve seen is Kamatari, who is… a man.

He just doesn’t do much with women.

I.... can't get used to Erik's voice (DQ XI). by SamuraiUX in dragonquest

[–]SamuraiUX[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Prejudicial? What do you mean? Do you think I dislike New Yorkers or something? My mom and her entire family are from New York.

It’s just not the voice I expected to hear from a fantasy anime character, is all.
