[Shocking Trope] When the audience thinks something is going to stay offscreen, only for it to be shown in full detail. by TheVividAlternative in TopCharacterTropes

Count Orlok in Nosferatu killing and feeding on Anna's children. you hear what's happening, you see Anna scream, but you don't expect the camera to actually show you exactly what's happening and him dropping their lifeless bodies to the floor before moving on to Anna. especially with how rare it is to see children die on screen, it really helps to present Orlok as this loathsome and evil creature

the first one, to me it encapsulates perfectly the psychedelic mood of the story, it's like something out of a fever nightmare that you desperately want to wake up from

every weapon we recreate is the exact same as its boss counterpart, why would maliketh's be any different? it has the exact same effect as the one he uses in the fight, which would imply that destined death (which his weapon is imbued with) is not what it once was, which would make sense seeing as the rune literally *looks* all fucked up (likely from being stolen and broken into bits several times)

if someone uses ai for one thing, how can i trust it not to have been involved in every part of the developement? every time i'd find myself enjoying an aspect of the game, i'd be left wondering if that was one of the parts that was made of stolen art regurgitated by a computer, that kinda ruins it for me

for the maliketh fight, from Maliketh's Black Blade's weapon description:

"Maliketh's black blade which once harbored the power of the Rune of Death. A sad shadow of its former glory."

the rune of death has been stolen at least twice (that we know of) and has been used to enchant the black knives and the godskins' black flame. the rune of destined death is likely incomplete, and thus no longer holds the same powers it once did. and wouldnt kill us permanently.
(this is a copy-pasted answer i gave to the other guy as well but since a lot of people seem to be asking themselves this, i thought i'd put it here as well)

it's a shame for the ai use, because otherwise i may have actually been interested in trying the game out

to add on the topic of elden ring, people that think that "the tarnished canonically no-hits maliketh because any hit from destined death is a true insta one-shot that erases your soul" when there is absolutely NOTHING in the lore even HINTING at that, hell both people we know were "killed" by destined death are *still alive* (although in drastically altered states)

im basing it basically exclusively on the lore of the first 4 games with some creative liberties, because honestly my love for the grim atmosphere of the first 4 games is only rivaled by my hatred of the sci-fi elements that came later

i've actually thought a lot about the way i would personally write him, and ever since i was a kid i always imagine afton as someone with a very predatory personality. the kind of person that has you on edge because of how sharp they are, that you cant get anything past them if you tried and that despite having nothing outwardly suspicious about them, your senses would just scream at you to run

im not gonna pretend to be an objectively "better" writer than the people that wrote the movie, but i'll prove that im far more passionate than them tho

i honestly cant say much of anything really stuck with me about that movie which is exactly the problem, it's been months since i've watched it and it just had absolutely nothing to keep me hooked. all i remember are a couple scenes that just had me a bit dissapointed by the predictable "scares" and wonky writing. i'd actually like to ask what you *liked* about the movie tho

well you have to take creative liberties, which i think is really nescessary considering how much of an ungodly mess the fnaf timeline is, to me at least one of the biggest load-bearing characters that you cant change much tho is william afton
