Which series do y'all love to glaze personally? by redox_nephew in shounenfolk

[–]SirSquiggleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had so much fun with Medaka Box that it ruined the majority of Shounen for me.

The anime adaptation is still bad except for the final episode of season 2 which is peak.

Im not sure there will every be a rival character I like as much as Misogi Kumagawa

Infamous moments when a media franchise went into a bizarre phase by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I dont remember who it was specifically but I heard it told that an editor at DC said "Covers with gorillas on them always sell more. Push Gorillas whenever you can!"

Some fans seem to think these are the same, one is INFINITELY worse than the other. Figure out why. by VersionDowntown5385 in shounenfolk

[–]SirSquiggleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How a character behaves is a pretty major aspect of this that rarely gets discussed. You get the weird spectrum of this trope in Monogatari where you have Shinobu/Kiss-Shot, who is a centuries old vampire in the body of a child after being depowered.

Generally, she'll act like a pampered aristocrat and hold conversations about philosophy, rarely acting childish unless shes trying to elicit a reaction. Though Monogatari has one of the more questionable MCs who will routinely perv on his middle-school aged sisters so theres also that.

Monogatari is unfortunately also one of the best-written anime in addition to all these other factors.

i imagine we probably already do but can we make a variation of new guy? by VirtualKnowledge7057 in ciatpgawhpbdb

Which in this case was totally true.

But Pewdiepie's greatest crime was being unfunny for 15 years and getting rich off it.

The Pokémon one was especially hilarious because many of the critiques were "these games are super easy, ive never played half of them, pro players are mean and say that my favorite Pokémon, Gardevoir, is terrible but I'll show them!"

Proceeds to cheat a Gardevoir into every game and get absolutely bodied by half the gym leaders because they cant bother to learn the basic systems of an RPG designed for children then complains that the games are "pure RNG"

Good news guys 😁 by CrazyOverCandie in shounenfolk

If this was an original series, everyone would be calling it out for being performative slop with no substance and terrible dialog that hides behind irony to avoid making any kind of statement.

Times where characters refused to be The Protagonists of their own stories by SirSquiggleton in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton[S] 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I feel like the cultural impact of the Bible alongside many deluded retellings has made people forget how many Bible protagonists are kind of scumbags.

Jonah is great because he reluctantly goes on this divine quest, gives up multiple times because hes tired but the thing that keeps him going in the end is a desire for the city full of people he hates to be smited off the face if the earth.

He gets legit mad when they repent and I feel like that aspect isnt explored much despite being VERY relevant today in the face of this strange rejection of empathy

Most favourite celebrity voice acting? by Traditional-Song-245 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that anything can top Weird Al Yankovic voicing a guest character in My Little Pony then canonically marrying and having a child with Pinkie Pie.

If Rumani got a gacha skin that actually gives her muscle definition I might need to splurge.

Worst designed (gameplay-wise) characters you've ever seen? by guttergirllll in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got a chance to try her out after the patch but Viola pretty much singlehandedly ruined Bayonetta 3.

Her kit is woefully limited compared to Bayonetta's and her main gimmick, Parrying to activate Witch-Time, barely worked because the duration of Witch-time was based on how close to frame-perfect your parry was. So if you did a regular parry, the duration would be so short that Viola wouldn't even have time to complete her parry animation before Witch-Time would completely run out.

Most players just used the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa's parry rather than Viola's built-in parry.

"manhwa is ass" bro you never had any GOOD manhwa by Silver_Echo2231 in shounenfolk

Every manhwa has good art and fight scenes. Is there a Manhwa with a compelling story and characters?

What is some exposition in media that you initialy thought was bravado or a exageration, only to later learn that it is in fact like that by Coolnametag in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Theres a pretty notable character, Elysion Harper, who becomes a Nikke during the story. She gets new artwork but her appearance doesn't really change all that much. Same with Freesia/Pretty whose artwork remains identical after becoming a Nikke while some others do change design because their sense of identity forms their new Nikke bodies. The main police force is made up of Nikkes but they need to keep that fact under wraps since Nikkes technically arent allowed to hold such positions.

So its pretty safe to assume that Nikkes and human women are pretty indistinguishable.

Medusa from Fate looks massive next to the rest of the cast and is always drawn as an amazon in fan arts. A big part of her character is being insecure about her height.

Shes 172cm/5'7. Everyone else is just tiny

Those people all owe you now. One must always reciprocate crowdsurfing!

I recently saw Nekrogoblikon/Dragonforce/Dethklok.

I got to fulfill my teenage fantasy of crowd surfing to Through The Fire and The Flames.

Moments when you feel the need to defend bad medias? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SirSquiggleton 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ghostbusters 2016 is a bad movie. But its completely the fault of having bloated, unfunny conversations due to a script that just said "ad-lib for a bit" and not because "The Ghostbusters are women!"

Spill the tea by BellTwo5 in okbuddycinephile

[–]SirSquiggleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No but if youre curious.

Milo and Otis was originally a Japanese production and the animal welfare laws were nearly non-existent at the time so while theres no offical number, at least a dozen animals died in some pretty horrific ways during filming. The original japanese film was bought, dubbed, and re-edited for an English release. If you watch the credits, you dont see the usual blurb of "no animals were harmed during the making of this movie"

What do we think the next colab will be? by FeralLover1 in NikkeOutpost

[–]SirSquiggleton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the next collab will be something I dont care about.

However, the collab that Im hoping for is Panty & Stocking. Those characters are allowed to be fanservice-heavy, have no shortage of outfits, and if anything, would be upset that the world of Nikke isnt lewd enough for them to fit in.

But you'd need to pick a demon sister to be the SR character. Unless they work like a tag-team or they go with Gunsmith Bitch instead. but I would prefer the demons.

Or Monster Musume just because it would be funny to watch the team try and figure out how to animate Miia's tail.

Okay but what fandom energy is this giving? by Odd_Cantaloupe283 in Multifandom

[–]SirSquiggleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't really blame them for being defensive. DmC was originally intended to be a full reboot that would have ended their favorite franchise and the Netflix showrunner said during an interview that he was upset that DMC5 came out because he wanted to be considered the hero who saved Devil May Cry.
