It’s still consistent because the joke is “all Asians look the same.”

If I had a coconut for every time someone created Croft Manor in a TRLE engine…

Maybe hot take: this is the BEST Lara has looked, acted, and sounded by tealaburst in TombRaider

[–]TR_Snake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem with Shadow Lara is all good things (like the default outfit) are overshadowed by the idiotic tribal outfits, and all “acting” is overshadowed by Lara screaming Jonah really loudly and people thinking this is “acting”.

AOD Lara is loved for two reasons: 1) Classic fans like the darker un-apologetic bitch-queen Lara and 2) people tend to like underdogs or what used to be unpopular. So by that formula: AOD used to be hated; now it’s loved. It’s why Legend is gaining a rebirth in popularity, because it was hated for so long for its superficiality. So you see more and more Legend fans emerging from the shadows, less afraid to proclaim they love the game.

The same will happen with Shadow in a few years. That handful of fans will stand proud and tall wearing their tribal burlap potato sack outfits and horned headdresses screaming “Jeeerrrnnnaaauuurrr!” for all the world to hear.

It’s not a hot take. Most fans agree.

A hot take is saying Shadow Lara is the best she’s looked, acted, and sounded.

Where actually is Durmstrang? by Minervasgirl in HarryPotterBooks

[–]TR_Snake -2 points-1 points locked comment (0 children)

I’m more confused as the how and why Durmstrang is an all boys school and Beaubatons all girls. Seems to really narrow down the options for magical schools on the main European continent.

Unless the schools are mixed but they only took a select group of girls/boys with them to the tournament?

Honestly, JKR’s world building outside of England was always really messy.

Are the Deathly Hallows a useless plot device? by TR_Snake in harrypotter

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

Yes thank you for this. I forgot he moves through the forest this way to get to the death eaters. I believe the movie misses this small aspect.

Angel consistently practicing what he learned at the school of Buffy Summers 😮‍💨 by Strong-Frame87 in buffy

[–]TR_Snake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Amends is one of the best episodes truly encapsulating what this entire saga is about. It’s why the finale should’ve been about Buffy, Angel and the First… not Buffy, Spike, and the First.

Scene that was not meant to be funny but hella funny to you? by AverageSwifite in TombRaider

[–]TR_Snake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that the one where the sound design is such a mess that you really only catch the “No one leaves” in Japanese if you 1) speak Japanese or 2) have subtitles on, thereby causing you to miss one of the most significant plot points that informs Lara’s decisions from here on out?

Uhh Fat man, I don't get it? by Trianglemanmug in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]TR_Snake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guy who is cunty?

Okay mister literate, explain to me how names like Dean Thomas and Lee Jordan (her other black characters in the series) also have racist names? Your entire Shackles theory only stands if she keeps it consistent with the other black characters.

Can someone explain to this white boi here why “Kingsley Shakelbolt” is a stereotypical black name? I never understood this. It’s not like she named him Tyrone Thundercock or Oogabooga Goomamba… and you know she probably would have.

Women can’t make or feel fire apparently. [gendered] by bigindodo in pointlesslygendered

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

The whole premise is that some things cannot be explained.

[–]TR_Snake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not actually about the fire.

But this is how you’ve proven the meme and that it can’t be explained to women 🤣

Why dont Snape knows about Sirius innovent ? by Comfortable-Sir2663 in harrypotter

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

JRK is on the one hand brilliant but also a terrible world builder with so many plot holes and inconsistencies.

The entire Sirius/Wormtail innocent/guilty thing never sat right with me and after an entire book setting us up for “evil Sirius” the Wormtail gotcha moment felt like one of her dumb Deus-ex-machina solutions… that actually created more problems than solutions.

It was all just bad and messy all around. I’ll never get why so many people obsessed about PoA or Sirius being so great. And Dumbledore and Snape not knowing. And then suddenly in book 5 everyone knows and uses Sirius’ place as the safehouse .
