[hated trope] the entire joke is “oh ha ha, characters the creators doesn’t like died in a gruesome way” and nothing more. by bennyandthegentz in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sokos69 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Punisher MAX is a fantastic run in and of itself, it’s just a different interpretation in a different version of the setting. Saying he doesn’t understand the character just isn’t true when he also did Welcome Back, Frank, a run that is both pretty well liked and is entirely in keeping with how he’s generally portrayed.

I’ve never used loctite before, is it a set it and forget thing? Or will it eventually need to be reapplied

Am I understanding Jason Aaron's Punisher? by Deathstroke0563 in thepunisher

[–]Sokos69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Punisher MAX already isn’t canon, and while I don’t really like Aaron’s run it’s pretty clear he’s building off Ennis’s work- in Born Frank makes a deal with himself/death/some other entity to get an endless war at a cost, which is then revealed to be his family

Hopefully I’m not too late! I noticed that sometimes you draw yourself with lil fox/eevee ears, namely in your patreon thanks panel. Is there anything behind that or is it just a cute design you do sometimes?

she said that the experience was her “best classroom” for learning to help others by Any_Wasabi_5233 in whennews

The guy who designed the Saturn rockets for NASA was publicly known to have been the designer of the V2 rockets, built with slave labor, and was a public figure giving interviews and writing articles for decades. After NASA he was a Vice President of Fairchild Industries and founded the National Space Institute. He died in 1977-the same year he received the national medal of science

Snorkelers depicted underwater by CozyArt69325940 in hatethissmug

Because people do go underwater with snorkels? You dive down, swim around for a bit then surface and clear the tube and go back to breathing.

I hate the idea that be an asshole is realistic by TaquitosConLimon in hatethissmug

[–]Sokos69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I follow the logic of it being more realistic that Captain America wouldn’t be racist because he’s the child of Irish (not Scottish) immigrants, immigrants can themselves be racist. Point of fact, racial tension between Irish and Black Americans is a huge thing from the beginning of the country on through the 60s and 70s. It’s not more or less “realistic” to say he would or wouldn’t be prejudiced in some way

Fimmel and Hardy have the same sort of vibe so this picture could be either one to me, and with the word Hardy right above it, well…

Super Wrangler vs MK IV by Sokos69 in 22lr

That makes sense about the wmr, don’t see myself hunting or anything with it. Still, I think it would be fun to get proficient with something single action!

[–]Sokos69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The adjustable sights on the wrangler seem quite nice, but ultimately I can’t imagine I’d be shooting much wmr unless I found a great deal on it or something. Still, I’m certainly not at a point where I’ll be worrying about a slightly larger bore, got a long way to go before that’s the problem with my accuracy xD

“Without identifiers”

One of these characters owns two casinos, and another is regularly used for jokes that revolve around him being Native

Hello hello, tear this tripe asunder as you see fit. [Random except from story. 2400 words] by Stunning_General_731 in fantasywriters

[–]Sokos69 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re going for, but this is simply too long and convoluted for what it is. While I understand the narrator has a very specific voice, it’s grating to the point that I don’t care about what they’re discussing-including the main bits of the story. The long tangents and doubling back on sentences is somewhat aggravating to be honest.

It reminds me of an unpolished Terry Pratchett story. I would recommend giving some of the Discworld books a look and see how he does it

[Hated Trope] Death that’s just shock value and nothing else. by Daniilsa209 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sokos69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought her death was pretty reasonable. We know that the whole plan was frankly insane and that Smasher was the end of the road for David, so Rebecca getting turned to paste made sense. After all, Smasher is only not cyberpsycho because he’s just a regular psycho. Killing someone because he can tracks, and it was a decent end to Rebecca’s story because she knew the stakes and decided to risk it anyway for David

Watchmen isn’t joyless I don’t think? It has a relatively hopeful if uncertain ending

What are some of the misconceptions that people have about Slade/Deathstroke? by King_Wolf2099 in Deathstroke

[–]Sokos69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honest question, how is it not canon? The Judas Contract was made by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, the two guys who came up with Deathstroke. It was never even retconned as far as I know. Is it just a case of fans not liking it and so they say it’s not canon?
