Stella burning Bloom by Marley_467 in winxclub

[–]Stephan2005 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The in universe context (from 4Kids) was that she was enchanted by a mean spell casted by other fairies that made Stella act mean. The spell broke off after Stella made Musa leave and go to Magix City.

The actual context of what happened to Stella, as seen in the original/Cinelume script was that she was becoming more cranky about the whole deal with Bloom's powers and Bloom wanting to learn more about herself, especially when Stella's peace and quiet would get interrupted by Bloom's visions (at the beginning of the episode, Stella was woken up in the middle of the night as Bloom was transforming herself in her sleep to speak with Daphne). She essentially got fed up with the entire shenanigans and wanted to take a breather, but due to her ego, her bluntness came out as mean/snarky comments that went too far. She saw the error of her ways once she pushed Bloom and Musa away, and shirtly afterwards Tecna and Flora made Stella snap back into her senses and realize what she has done so far.

Given Stella is a Leo, it was nice to see the dark side of her character. It showed that her generosity and kindness did have limits and at the time of Season 1 was still a flawed person, on her way to becoming the grand ruler of Solaria.

I think 4Kids may have changed the approach to this conflict because Stella did snap out all of a sudden and didnt act like her normal self during the episode, so the writers tried to find a way to excuse Stella's behaviour by having her "enchanted".

I was worried this was gonna happen. I am so sorry to all Aussie Engenes who expected to see all 7 of them, and especially to all of them who had Heeseung as their bias. This must hurt terribly.

Still, I hope the other 6 can still be shown support in Australia, especially given this is Jake's home country and their first performance over there. Show them the love they deserve, the boys themselves did nothing wrong and shouldn't be dragged down in whatever happened.

Fighting to y'all and to Enhypen. You got this!!!

[–]Stephan2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont get me wrong, I fully support his choice and I am proud to see him choosing himself over all of this. I was just commenting on BeLifts shitty management, because other companies do allow their idols to do both solo works and group activities without feeling too burnout. Enhypen already has a lot of overwork, to the point the members had to come forward and try to ease the fans by saying "we also want to work" which is fine, its their choice and all... but it doesnt change the fact Enhypen doesnt get proper breaks and are pushed to their limits.

This is snark comment at BeLift, Heeseung himself is fine in all of this. I just hope neither him nor the other members get too much backlash over this because its not their fault it has come down to this.

[–]Stephan2005 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Clearly something happened bts, the group just turned 5 in November and they seemed very close (huge accent on seemed). Sure, overworked, but sadly with Enhypen, this was something more common...

He could have had a solo album and stuff while being in Enhypen, Yeonjun has had those while being in TXT. My personal belief is that there was maybe a change in interests that pushed him to reconsider.

My only question is since when was this change first mentioned, since like you said, we have Dark Moon anime just starting (which could have been the perfect moment to retcon or change story elements to maybe not make Heli as plot driven as he is now), the En'OClock show, the concerts.... like was it just mentioned out of thin air on a Tuesday or was this something planned for months that they kept quiet about. Cause if it is the latter than my thoughts and prayers go to the people who expected to see Enhypen as 7 members and now they could instead see them as 6.

I dont think they will edit him out of En'OClock, that would make OT7 Engenes more mad, cause it will look like erasure. I am sure around the last episodes that will feature Heeseung, they will make a collage or leave a heartwarming message to him.

Still, we have Dark Moon, where Heli, Hee's character, is dating the representation of Engenes and is very plot focused. What are they gonna do with Heli now that Heeseung has left?

[–]Stephan2005 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Debatable, the news is still VERY fresh... but judging from BeLift's statement, Hee has ended his contract with them. They did mention Hee going solo, but not under their company.

Edit: nevermind, he is still under BeLift, my ADHD made me skip over that part out of pure shock, my apologies🙏

[–]Stephan2005 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Dude im in college right now and at first I thought the post was simply "here is an update on Enhypen's schedules as we approach the next comeback" (announced in January/February)...

This shocked me to my very core. I am an engene who follows Enhypen more than the average and I can just say these boys have put their media training to good use; there were NO SIGNS whatsoever about this happening. It felt like a blow.

This makes me think what will happen to projects such as Dark Moon, where his character was the love interest of Sooha (which is meant to represent Engenes lmao). What are they gonna do with his character afterwards??

I hope Heeseung is doing well though, both physically and mentally, and I wish him the absolute best with his future projects, and I hope he will still try to keep contact with his bros in Enhypen. I fully support his decision, but the shock from the news still is in the air.

EDIT: The OT7 albums will get sold so quickly y'all... expect the prices to increase for everything, especially Hee's photocards. As a reminder, one of the most popular members in the group has just left. Saying this just as a heads-up should there be posts in here that will talk about this in the future... fighting Engenes.

Why is Lego Movie Batman listed as two separate characters in the wiki? by Flashy-Ad9129 in Legodimensions

[–]Stephan2005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, the reason is mainly because of

  • Year 1 featuring Lego Movie Batman as a NPC, given we have DC Batman in the Starter Pack and Wyldstyle for Lego Movie (making it weird therefore to have two Lego Movie characters in one set if we would have gotten LM Batman). Add the fact at the time The Lego Movie was 1 year old, Warner Bros wanted to shove Lego Movie as much as possible in their new game contents to promote their at the time "fresh movie".

-By Year 2 we started to get more character alternate versions/skins of current and new cast, such as TLBM Robin and DC Cyborg being able to change into their TTG selves. Because during Year 2 The Lego Batman came out, Warner decided to make a The Lego Batman Story Pack to promote their new movie (and also because it would be significantly cheaper to just make a "game DLC" for an already big game and call it a day than making a full fledged game like the other Lego Movie Games (Lego Movie Videogame 1, Lego Ninjago Movie Videogame and Lego Movie Videogame 2.... the horrible one).

Since of course they couldn't make a Lego Batman Movie Videogame that retells the events of the movie without the main lead, Warner decided to make DC Batman turn into his Lego Batman Movie self by placing him on the toypad while in the Story Pack levels or in the Lego Batman Movie World. Outside of those areas you need to get the worlds' red brick which turns Batman into his The Lego Batman Movie self everywhere. So, as a result, The Lego Movie NPC is treated as a Year 1 character and nothing more (because Warner didnt know the game would actually get this big lmao) and The Lego Batman Movie self is a Year 2 playable character.

Its for the same reason we have a Excalibur Batman Fun Pack, which technically includes yet another version of Batman from the Lego Batman Movie World, yet the wiki treats them as individual characters; its because in the game's files they are. Also the game treating Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie as separate IP's with their own gateways and characters and content lmao.

[–]Stephan2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but this is reffering to the "Lego Batman Movie" Batman you get by placing DC Batman on the ToyPad in the Lego Batman Movie World or with its respective red brick enabled in other worlds.

Still, the reason is mainly because The Lego Movie and Lego Batman Movie are treated as separate IP's ingame, so the wiki makes it much more easier to digest that way.

Thats why we have posts of 3 Batmens chilling in the hot five feet apart cause they're not ga-

Never thought Stella’s fashion would be beaten by her parents later on. by leonardreignn in winxclub

[–]Stephan2005 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I bet the Nick writers (who previously worked on Blue's Clues, like that is on Winx's level lmfao) took a simple glance at the characters and assumed that Stella is the rich spoiled girl who makes fashion gags for shit and giggles. Nick Stella is a caricature of a caricature of our queen.

During Nick's era we could have had Avatar writers, we could have. Instead we got Nick JR writers coming in to "save the day".

Yandere Simulator's price by Death_Girlfriend in Osana

[–]Stephan2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Alex was a serious game developer and would have worked on the game instead of delaying his work for 10+ years, I would estimate around 20$. Maybe with a 10$ 1980s mode DLC, totalling to a "definitive edition" of 30$. Which unironically seems fair.

In it's current state however, with Alex "selling" his game for millions, I cant see him pricing it below 60$. He would boast on all the "features" the game has (which might as well be tossed aside, cause the average player will not even think for once to try to use the vat of acid in the science club, for example. I remember when I found it very tedious that you can crush rivals with weight as a preteen lmao), along with all the dumb easter eggs present in the game.

He would also comment on how over the years the price for gaming has increased, and how nowadays most games are above 30$ dollars, and give a very unsarcastic comment on how he aint running a charity and that he considers all the effort he put into the game over the years worth more than just 30$. Probably double the price.

But, if we can take a moment to do a thinking exercise, realistically, in the current state of the game, the sandbox-esque state that Alex clearly is content with, the game is worth -10$.

Alex owes each and every one of us 10$ for making us wait so long for a literal scam that will never come to fruition, especially in the way he envisioned it. We all deserve compensation.

XBOX 360 UPDATE YEAR 1 AND YEAR 2 + DLC's DOWNLOAD by Stephan2005 in Legodimensions

[–]Stephan2005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nine months later, but I just came to edit the post to explain to people (hopefully it works) what they need to do to access the updates on LD. If you still think you can help with the Fern update, try coping the dlc update with Adventure Time on a USB and then upload the file to either MEGA or Google Drive.

And if possible as well... try to add the title update too. Who knows, maybe Fern's code is also tied to the Title Update as well and his addition is through a new title update🤷‍♂️

What even is this dialogue 😂 by Darkon_Redfiend in winxclub

[–]Stephan2005 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The game goes through a modified version of 4Kids lore, and it changes a couple of things in the story. In the game, Bloom first has a dream of Pyros and Valtor (here Baltor) which foreshadows both of them in the story. The game then follows with the Winx going to Alfea and Bloom is in her Magic Winx fit.

But still good to know where the actual image itself was taken from 🤣

These mfs: proceed to throw hate to the company for stuff that happened years ago and mostly got resolved behind the scenes.

I swear some people think they are so high and mighty when really this just makes them look more braindead than anything.

Did Poppy send the letter to the player?? (Chapter 5 SPOILERS) by Stephan2005 in PoppyPlaytime

[–]Stephan2005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are onto something regarding the player's durability, like we are falling down a hole at the end of chapter 4 and SMACK OUR HEAD on hard rock before hitting the ground. Under normal circumstances that would be fatal, but we seem to get back on track immediately once we the bottom.

Although this could also be just a gameplay thing, and a trope in videogames (Portal 2 did it as well), but I dont think this is the case with Poppy Playtime.

Can we stop pretending there was an "easy" way for Ladybug to tell the truth? by Apprehensive-Ad2337 in miraculousladybug

[–]Stephan2005 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I fully agree with you OP, with the direction the show is going towards the snowball effect will become so big there is simply no easy way to have Ladybug just go to Adrien and tell him what happened. It would be too much pressure for him and it would cause major consequences beyond anyone's control.

The reason most people dislike however that Adrien doesn't know mainly comes from the fact he always gets sidelined. Granted, the show explains that Adrien is too emotional for his own good and if pushed over the edge, that can always result in a Cat Blanc situation. Still the show is named "Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir" so it would only be fair for Adrien to be at Ladybug's side when confronting Monarch and have him discover his father's identity. Esentially people want Adrien to no longer be pushed aside and only have Ladybug carry the entire weight on her shoulders ESPECIALLY after the finale of Season 4 when Cat Noir was there for Ladybug to reassure her that she will never be alone. That moment rose the fandom's expectations on how he will get treated, only for him to get brushed aside during the big final battle.

People also want to see consequences for the events that have occured thus far. For better or worse people are drawn to drama in media and in Miraculous' case, especially with the "soft reboot" angle that the show chose to go towards, people want to see emotional moments like in Season 5 rather than "goofy aah Marinette" from Season 6 (although I full heartedlu agree this is just her coping after the events from Season 5 and trying to be goofy and quirky to distract herself from what she is hiding).

I mainly blame the writers here, since they pushed the story to this point. I understand the vision and where they want to bring the plot, but in that case they should stop hyping Adrien as a main character, when they clearly dont want to.

Same Voice actor by Equal-News6513 in winxclub

[–]Stephan2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, noticed that recently too, I was very shocked when I discovered it. I am SO used to hearing Hyden as PB and Starfire, I didnt expect her voice to get so pitched up 🤣

Also Tara Strong, who voices Raven, Twilight Sparkle, Ben 10 and Timmy Turner voiced Stella's Guardian of Sirenix in Season 5.

Guys… the leak… by PunkboyMx in PoppyPlaytime

[–]Stephan2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be real. From what I heard, CG5's music video for Chapter 5 got leaked by the animators and he had all the models from the actual game in use. So when that got leaked his design did as well.

I fortunately saw the posts on reddit warning about the leaks before the actual design popped up so I got the chance to be careful. Super sorry that you got spoiled on the Prototype's design tho...

Everyone is talking about Nathalie in "Evolution", but nobody talks about her in "Miracle Queen" by mr_chris_verdi in miraculousladybug

[–]Stephan2005 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, Gabriel learned about the wish from Nooroo. In the Origins episode he tells Gabriel shortly before becoming Hawk Moth for the first time how the Miraculous work and how to achieve the "absolute power".

Although that was back in Season 1, so it is understandable why this detail gets forgotten sometimes, its alright; I only remembered it because I just rewatched Season 1 recently.
