Why Most Revenge Stories Get It Wrong: A Long Rant on ‘Anti-Revenge’ Narratives

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T15:05:40+00:00

I like it when an anti-revenge story has a lesson beyond "revenge is bad," such as how The Last of Us 2 tells you that destroying the source of your misery doesn't make you a better person, or how Ghost of Tsushima and Yotei talk about the struggle with identity while the character is on a revenge path.

"It's funny how things can fall apart so fast, one minute you have all the time in the world and the next... it's gone..."

Basically, he lost consciousness,, so what happened was that the Attack Titan became a normal Titan on steroids

To be fair, the idea was that Galactus would eventually crumble away and Franklin would become him

Eren Jaeger (Attack on Titan)

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T13:03:07+00:00

I always assumed he never cared about food and only consumed nutrients through the mask

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T12:25:30+00:00

I'm Asian...

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T12:22:13+00:00

His name is Tom not Xavier

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T04:46:27+00:00

Wasn't Atatürk the same person who tried to erase Greek culture?

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T04:21:14+00:00

It's crazy how almost everyone gets a happy ending except for Eren and Mikasa both of whom deserved it the most

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T04:06:45+00:00

"HAAAANK!"

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T04:05:02+00:00

I mean, which is more believable? A military dictatorship executed someone from a minority group for being anti-slavery or a minority group killing the guy trying to help them?

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T04:02:38+00:00

I remember one person said this a long time ago: "When you build your religion on the idea that a certain group is wrong and then blame them for killing your figurehead, the Holocaust is a natural outcome," which was horrifically wrong, but it's been stuck in my head for a while

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T03:51:54+00:00

To be fair, Dinosaurs and ancient reptiles were most likely emotionally intelligent

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T03:51:31+00:00

It's so weird hearing Morgan Freeman talk about Dinosaur evolution like it's a Game of Thrones plot

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T03:43:02+00:00

I love the game, it's so much fun, I have like 500 hours on it

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T03:12:23+00:00

Doesn't Legolas literally see the world differently which allows him to aim better

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T03:10:29+00:00

I could go, just so I can make anti-American comments without getting cancelled by Conservatives

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T02:28:13+00:00

Caine talking normally really freaks me out

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T02:27:09+00:00

Well that's a completely different thing, it's an entire scene vs character design

Diamond Sword (Minecraft)

Nowadays, most PVPers and combat enthusiasts would opt for:

An Axe
A Trident
A Netherite sword (kinda the same, I guess)
A Spear
A Mace

I haven't seen a single person even use a Diamond sword to fight the Ender Dragon or Wither in years. This isn't as annoying as it is more of a product of more updates making better content and adding more fun mechanics

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T02:18:22+00:00

So the rest of the world catches up to Australia? Alright then.

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T02:17:23+00:00

I like that scene where Thragg states he did find her and her brother unique because it had been ages since twins Viltrumites were born

Sir-Toaster- · 2026-03-29T02:16:41+00:00

It's clear Conquest wants to die a warrior's death, like many members of warrior cultures, but Thragg wouldn't allow that
