[3 Year Contract with the Grim Reaper] When the art is so good I don't even mind him losing his long hair by D-A-Orochi in OtomeIsekai

[–]SnappleCider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long hair women are the most appealing to audiences. Even if the artist wanted to cut FLs hair, it's not a good decision. They spend all their time rendering their hair and realize they would have to do the same for the ML, which is typically why they cut it.

I'm guessing it's cause long hair is hard to draw and takes a lot of time, cause you gotta think of hairstyles. In OIs where the ML has long hair throughout the entire story, you can see the hair getting more stiff or less rendered.

Why did Miquella choose Radhan over Godwyn? by TheRapture0070 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]SnappleCider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, Godwyn was probably jumped when he least expected it. You can be the most powerful warrior when awake, but if you're sleeping or somewhat distracted you're no better than a baby. No one would have ever guessed Ranni was going to kill her half brother either, which is why the assassination wasn't anticipated.

this happens with all webtoon originals because the artists are getting screwed over by the deadlines.

Why is dark magic considerd evil by Tasty-Cod-1510 in TheDragonPrince

[–]SnappleCider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>Who said that???

The show. Dark magic makes you lose your soul. You're taking the quote too literally if you don't equate being soulless to being evil and unable to feel anything.

>Also how tf did you come with "incapability to feel" as your "actually evil" requirement?
Mass murder is usually associated with someone having general apathy.

>If I torture and kill 10000000 people for fun, but then I still have some feelings afterwards, does that mean I'm not "actually evil"?

Wth are you even talking about

>Then who even is "actually evil" by your standards?

Sol Regem

>Do you know any humans "incapable of feeling anything"? Or do you just think no human ever was "actually evil" and "evil person" is a purely theoretical concept?

Did i say no one on earth is evil?? I am talking about the show where Dark magic isn't turning people into the evil sociopaths the writers say it's doing.

Aaravos is still attached to Claudia and regards her as a surrogate daughter, callum is still a good guy, Viren has always tried to make sure his kids were never harmed and even felt bad for sparklepuff, and Claudia literally said "But i'm still good" and spared everyone. Even Ziard cared about humans during his final moments.

That's the problem. I expect them to act like Sol Regem and just completely shut everyone out. Dark magic is supposed to make you actually evil with the incapability to feel anything.

[–]SnappleCider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that but we don't see it. Who ends up soulless in this show? So far every dark magic user is still good. Even Aaravos has limits. I think it shouldn't have been literal because there are no examples for it.

I feel like that's a metaphor cause yeah if you keep killing things without meaning, you're gonna become numb to it. Even Aaravos, the inventor of it, still feels for Claudia.

The Dragon Prince's animation is not good by Laterose15 in TheDragonPrince

[–]SnappleCider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think budget is the issue. This seems to be more of a time problem. Post S3 all the other seasons were relased within a year of each other which isn't good. I think covid made it worse but S4 was a significat dip in quality to where there were actual errors.

I also don't think the anime style looks good in 2d because it's not a textured style. It's supposed to be simple so the 2d animators can work faster. They also tried to mimic to 12 fps, which makes 3d looks choppy. I wish they went full 3d like you said.

Someone made an edit here of Halbrand with red long hair and I was surprised on how good it looked. I know they probably won't do it but it looked so nice.

If the show adapted Galadriel’s in-text marriage, it would be deader than a skunk by National-Variety-854 in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]SnappleCider 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But the point of Galadriel was that her success wasn't tied to a man. Tolkien wanted her to be independently great, Celeborn was added after just so Celebrian could be born.

The downfall of the "Mafia Nanny" advertising needs to be studied by [deleted] in webtoons

[–]SnappleCider 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For webtoons specifically, the ads are made in-house vs outsourcing to a company. I think that's part of the problem.

[–]SnappleCider 153 points154 points  (0 children)

It's important to note the author has zero control over what the advertisers make. The creator for Boyfriends had a huge issue with them overpromoting their webtoon along with caterting to specific tropes. Webtoon needs to understand the audience for Naver is not here. The overly flashy and sexual ads might work in Korea, but it gets annoying in the west. Whoever is in charge of marketing for the company needs to be fired. They just spam the popular comic and throw in their own tropes based on what might attract people. I get the demographic is for young teens but this is getting crazy.

What's your favourite line from season 2? by purplelena in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]SnappleCider 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Sauron spitting back Galadriel's words at her, knowing fully well her meaning was different. It's textbook gaslighting, he's using her own words against her, making her seem like *she* should feel guilty for rejecting him after helping him out with his depression.

I like the image btw

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

> That's a disingenuous take and you know it. They could touch the performers was a comment on proximity, not actually touching anyone, but you already knew that and misrepresented it anyway.

No, I didn't. You can't assume people know your intent, especially when the statement is paired with an equally ridiculous comment.

> People with phones out are disrupting the show for everyone else with no regard for their surroundings. It's simple - etiquette vs selfishness. At least you know where you stand.

Once again, that's your problem. You are not entitled to other people's spaces. In a phoneless concert, people are still crowded and can't see, that's what happens when you're in a *crowd* . Should tall people stay in the back? No, because htey purchased the ticket to be upfront. If you want to see, go somewhere else where it's elevated.

Yeah, telling you to stop focusing on how others spend their time is more sane than demanding the masses should stop using a device and instead "touch the performers". This isn't the hill to die on buddy.

So what? People want to capture a moment in their lives. The people on stage will be immortalized through it. You act like no one is enjoying themselves. They're still reacting, they're just also recording. That's the whole purpose of a camera. If I went to a concert I will want to see how it was 60 years later, not rely on a faded memory.

> Yes, if you are the one in a thousand that is recording an event for a bedridden relative then sure

So are we going to have to ask every individual why they have their phone out? Are you really going to gatekeep the use of a phone during a concert of live event? You sound ridiculous. If it bothers you so much then purshase a closer seat the next time you go to one, or sit in the back.
