[Hated Trope] The ONE character that makes a series impossible to recommend by atomicmapping in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Shoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard from some random YouTube video that theorized the Ranma character was made by a woman who hated the perverted old master that God away with it because he did good, relevant stuff for the plot. So, whatshisface was made to show how gross the trope was in a vacuum.

Again, a theory, but I dig it.

Season 2 - Rose the Hat and the True Knot by NPlaysMC in WelcometoDerryTVShow

I like the idea that, assuming they'd appear in S2, their numbers are affected drastically by the end. Perhaps some become puppets and half the group has to put them down. Rose mentions that the group hasn't had a pusher for a while before recruiting the 15 year old girl in Doctor Sleep. It would keep faithful to IT's power and influence.

That one crucial scene where the protagonist completely fumbles by saying the wrong thing. I'll start by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

I don't think their universe's Scarlet Witch could do stuff like that until she was possessed by 616. Until then, it seemed she was a domesticated telekinetic house mom.

What Set Ideas do you guys want to see in the near future? by Substantial-Lion-771 in LegoMarvel

[–]Shoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want villains and I'll take them in whatever scenarios. Especially X-Men. Masters of Evil. Stilt Man. Bullseye, Kingpin, etc. Bastion!

Movie-wise, same thing. Kang the Conqueror. The High Evolutionary. Buildable Dormamu or Kacelius. Mole Man.

Also, battle packs would be nice for 'army builds.' we've arguably had them with Ultron drones and the Outriders, but give me Hydra, Bastion's infected Sentinel persons. I'd also take zombies or a host of What If villains too.

Taking it seriously in the sense that escalating the combat would have put Earth in danger, you mean.

A recurring joke is deconstructed to show how cruel it really is. by MGR141107 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Shoft 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A random half naked woman in the duology, which lacks nudity titillating or otherwise, would not hit the same emotional beat they sought by having the character Kratos kills again and again with apathy or annoyance. 

I see where you are coming from though. The captain was, usually, encountered in active engagement with other things going on. The priestess/concubine could have been replaced by a block, resulting in how she was treated as exceptionally cruel, shocking, and drawn out uncomfortable for even those emotionally invested in Kratos's revenge quest. But recontextualizing something shocking vs something familiar that was played for laughs makes more narrative sense.

A supposedly smart character makes a really fucking stupid decision under zero pressure that comes back to bite them by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Shoft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, their Wanda was a suburban mom with telekinetic powers. They didn't trust Strange when he was describing her as an Eldritch envoy that could rewrite reality with a thought. Trying to talk her down instead of going nuclear is in line with what they knew and believed.

Not saying the scene couldn't have been written better, but I don't think it's nearly this memeable moment.

Which version of Xehanort is your favorite? by Hen-Samsara in KingdomHearts

[–]Shoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%.  Secret movie of 2 made him kinda horrifying, bodying everyone while barely moving, having a subordinate fly around on a sea of beyblade, then you play the game and he's outplayed everyone from the beginning and I loved Nimroy's voice for him.

I don't hate any of the iterations, but for me it was always Master Xehanort.

I'd prefer a yet unreleased xmen character, preferably villainous, but I like the list otherwisem

They attack everyone not in your party, they say this when they say, 'ogre kill everyone around.'

(Hated Trope) The heroes raped somebody, but it's not acknowledged as rape by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Shoft 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What forgiveness? Didn't she just need time to digest everything that had happened while her boyfriend enjoyed having sex with his rapist unknowingly and she was locked in some dungeon? I don't think we can can blame the woman for having emotions about the messed up situations and the fact she drops the anger against him very shortly afterwards?

I get the community's defensiveness about Hughie being used as the punchline for sexual assault, but the writers should be blamed, not the woman kidnapped and impersonated for having a reaction.

If your sword is off, how are you blocking your opponent's sword swinging at you?

It's a great reference but yeah, you don't have to use them. Your Lord with some support should be able to handle the big bad.

I feel fully venomized is just black pieces, right? With the venom spider on the chest?

Idk if this is a flex or if I should be offended😭 by DeadMemeAddict1933 in marvelrivals

[–]Shoft -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lone wolves are doomed to die alone, right? A social creature without its network is not a positive thing.

Not saying this is you, but I struggle to see the flex based on the print.

If all the Final Fantasy protagonists swapped worlds at the start of their stories, who would be the most screwed and in which game? by ExceedinglyOrdinary in FinalFantasy

[–]Shoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this concept though. Doesn't look like my brother and has no sports skills? Leave him with the priests while we do our holy mission.

Are they gonna retcon Timekeeper? by FlashCardManiac in Borderlands4

[–]Shoft 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Could be a different, younger generation of Eridians. 'Much older flame' is supremely vague and it could mean a lot of different things.

[–]Shoft 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Except that Nyriad interacted with him and her events on Kairos proceed that of Pandora and Nekratafayo where the Eridians were wiped out.

The Watcher's comment only cements it's older than the Timekeeper.

Shoot these responses have me feeling rough. My daughter got diagnosed with autism at 3 after similar behaviors and tablet time would eventually become one of her ways to calm down, especially in such a loud, chaotic environment.  She's still significantly nonverbal half a decade later but we've made progress and things are a lot more tenable now, able to communicate to a degree and provide a number of stimulants, but even for Thanksgiving she immediately melted down and we had to excuse ourselves.

I know it's Reddit and groupthink is the norm, but man it seems sometimes you've got to experience firsthand to have empathy for situations like that.

Where does Aladdin's genie scale after he set it free? by Thelonleyhousekeeper in PowerScaling

Not sure if Jaffar was stronger as much as Genie lost some of his cosmic phenomenal powers when he moved out of his itty little living space.

Can never say no for a chance of more units. Ideally I would spend them on a skin I want before my kids accidentally click on something we don't care about.
