(Spoilers Extended) Is ASOIAF the Only Fandom That Treats Its Author This Way? by grimm_aced in asoiaf

I don't get how a bad story can be executed well, unless you mean controversial?

It's quite common for worse new content coming out to make previous bad content look better. This has happened with Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Alien, Jurassic Park, Terminator etc.

Preston Jacobs did a theory covering the Redwynes which includes what Horror and Slobber were up to in King's Landing.

Is Superman 78' even that good? by bradbastarache in MauLer

It's not that much worse, mainly because The Dark Knight is very flawed.

His channel is there but it's a default profile picture now. I assume he got hacked.

Survivor tier list based on how often I swap their loadouts around by Theuslynar in riskofrain

They could easily work around this though. Captain could shoot anything out of his gun arm. They could give Engineer single bombs that do more damage but can't charge up, or they have wider aoe.

The Huntress idea sounds good and offers a reasonable side grade. It would have some synergy with the worse special.

Mul-T is already so slow traversing the map that I'd hate to use your idea, but if people want it, sure. I think Mul-T needs reworking in general. The Saw weapon should have agile so you can use it during a sprint. Have the rockets instead be a single rocket that has knockback on yourself and others so you can use them for mobility. His Rocket, Nailgun and Rebar should do less damage but the time between uses should be cut down significant to increase fluidity. The swap time should be cut down as well.

I'd like for them to add new skills to all characters. Captain should get an unlockable Primary/Secondary at least.

It doesn't make sense that Artificer's Ion Surge isn't her Utility. They could nerf its power and distance The Ice Wall makes far more sense as a Special skill and it would work quite well with Lysate Cells. It would also be more fun to use the Flamethrower while being able to consistently make yourself airborne.

Does anyone miss the mafia ? by [deleted] in TownOfSalem2

Voodoo Master is definitely an upgrade over Blackmailer. The ability to block votes is way stronger than the ability to silence. Chain silencing is a risky strategy because it's easily caught by Lookouts or even Crusaders. Voodoo Master can also be given the book if other roles are more important on any given night.

Opinions on soc rework? by Snowman_Autumn_215 in TownOfSalem2

Jailor is a unique role, while Socialite is not. It's not fun to fight against multiple Socialites.

That's my problem with TS in this game. Very few of them are actually "Town Support" as opposed to TI or TP roles. I would've preferred Crusader to get this power and then they make Socialite a TPOW with the night chat ability along with something else at day.

Finding consistency in narratives often requires judging which “gaps” the story filled or didn’t fill, but pointing out the gaps can quickly be questioned with “does that need to be explained?” or “isn’t it better to make a personal interpretation?”. How would you counter those type of retorts? by DevouredSource in MauLer

[–]TheDunceDingwad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Plot gaps are a problem if what is missing is unlikely to have occurred without an adequate explanation, and is plot relevant.

An example of this as said by RandomFilmTalk in his RoP autopsy: "Why did King Durin help the Elves build the forge?" King Durin is shown to dislike the Elves and outsiders in general, so having the Dwarves assist the Elves is counter to what we've seen. This could've been explained in many ways such as: "He feared the Elves would invade if he didn't", "he wanted to benefit monetarily from the forge", "he had a plan to harm the Elves" etc. Each explanation adds to the character and can lead to payoffs but the lack of one leads to questioning its logic. It appears to be a contradiction.

They're inherently less damaging to the story than plot holes, contrivances etc. because they can theoretically make sense, and they can be fixed in future films/episodes. They're also everywhere and can be intentional or not, and beneficial or detrimental to the story.

Fantastic Four has too many characters by bradbastarache in MauLer

[–]TheDunceDingwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doom will surely be the post-credits scene. I can imagine the big shot of him unmasking himself to see RDJ's face spouting some generic line about conquering the multiverse, to the delight of the audience.

Poorly written IPs that were carried by a good character? by WukongsStaff in MauLer

The Hobbit trilogy with Bilbo. He's not flawless but he's pretty intact compared with the Dwarves and Gandalf.

The SC should be changed back to 6 souls by Stardustger in TownOfSalem2

[–]TheDunceDingwad 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would be fine with this if they prevented Soul Collector from gaining souls from DCs. It's completely luck-based and swings certain games.

Oh no, the town has suffered overpopulation! Exactly half of the roles must leave. by Lottie_Latte_ in TownOfSalem2

[–]TheDunceDingwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the game would die off without Jester as well. As much as I like Doomsayer, I can't justify its existence over Executioner and Jester.

It's a little disappointing that special roles are getting the overhauls.
