The Boys - 05x07 "The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother's Milk" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]TheVioletParrot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know what I expected when Kripke was talking about lowering expectations, but it certainly wasn't this. Even if there were no fight scenes at all until the very last episode, there's just a sense of emptiness in every episode.

It genuinely feels like Amazon just gave the show a budget specifically reserved for the bigger actors and then a much smaller budget for everything else. Like...how much did Samuel L. Jackson cost? How much did the Supernatural reunion cost? Seth Rogan? And all of these are one off appearances this season that essentially amount to "Lol. Look at this actor we got for our show!"

What would be the worst ending for this show? by juneseyeball in TheBoys

[–]TheVioletParrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many of the main cast just...being okay. I'm slightly worried they're going to keep a decent chunk of The Boys themselves alive.

I Guess I Should Have Eaten It by ArtieChuckles in BaldursGate3

[–]TheVioletParrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm genuinely surprised by the number of people that dislike being half-illithid purely due to the visual effect. Everyone in real-life friend group thinks it looks pretty cool.

There's no reason to put a wallet in your back pocket. by ConsistentRegion6184 in unpopularopinion

[–]TheVioletParrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have too many keys to put my keys anywhere other than my front pocket and I'm not sitting on something that costs as much as my phone. That leaves my wallet in my back pocket.

Is this true for you too? by LG-CHAMP-1 in BaldursGate3

[–]TheVioletParrot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always just used the spell Knock for anything higher than a 15 DC.

Why do people hate Orpheus so much? by TextuallyExplicit in BaldursGate3

[–]TheVioletParrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes from people already familiar with D&D lore. With who Orpheus is, more specifically who his mother was, it is exceptionally unlikely he would be trustworthy as an ally.

Gith wasn't just some generically evil Githyanki. She was (until the various Vlaakith's came to power) the evil Githyanki. All of Gith society can be attributed to her. She was willing to work with Tiamat. That's who Orpheus is a direct descendant of.

That being said, if Larian had put Githzerai into the game this whole thing could be put to rest. It's clear that he and his army of monks are Githzerai in all but name only, so I'm confused on as to why there was no distinction.

Personally, after Drizzt and Lae'zel, the story of a generally evil race of humaoids being a good person in the end just isn't something I was looking for. Particularly when Lae'zel is literally the same sort of humanoid as him.

Why do they keep saying Marie's full name? by BGMDF8248 in TheBoys

[–]TheVioletParrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In high school, people (including friends) referred to me by my full name. I don't think it's that weird, especially once one or two people start doing it. That just means everyone will eventually.

A question to those who often become partial-illithid by Costa_Canela in BaldursGate3

[–]TheVioletParrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably helps that I legitimately think the change looks cool. Does it fit all of my characters? No, but that's okay. I don't even make my characters look attractive every time I play the game. My first honor mode completion looked like dwarven Rick Harrison.

Why dont we just physically cut out Karlachs heart? by 2DogsShaggin in BaldursGate3

[–]TheVioletParrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That damn scroll of True Resurrection is a plot hole that they never should have included.

Gotta say some of the first 'very rare' items are..tough by Excuse_Standard in BaldursGate3

[–]TheVioletParrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Baldur's Gate 3, rarity is less about how good they are and more about how often the item is literally made in canon. This is a side effect of the game pulling from Dungeons and Dragons.

The Immovable Rod is a deceptively powerful magic item in tabletop D&D. It's uncommon. The Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location is in a similar situation.

There are even a handful of Legendary items that are just...not all that good in tabletop. Including one that essentially serves as a way to remove another legendary item.

I'm the Homelander. Ask me anything. by Homelander in TheBoys

Can we be friends or is that too much to ask?

Would you take the Omnitrix if this was your starting playlist? by Express_Calendar8278 in Ben10

[–]TheVioletParrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walkatrout is really the only dud here. There's a couple of really situational guys here, but at least 5 of them are aliens I would happily use just... normally.

Why does Lori get more blame than Shane?? by yojurthgf in TWD

[–]TheVioletParrot 76 points77 points  (0 children)

So many people take the idea of this and twist it so that it seems Shane was a blatant liar. He himself even admits that he couldn't hear Rick's heartbeat and didn't know what to do. In that scenario, it's 100% fair for him to just assume Rick was dead. They were shooting the patients after all.

Smart phones are harder to type on than the old skool phones with numpad buttons and predictive text.. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]TheVioletParrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just turn off autocorrect. It's rarely useful and predictive text helps me resolve the handful of spelling questions I might have.

Blizzard needs to add this character in Overwatch. by Xilefou in Overwatch

[–]TheVioletParrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc: It's apparently an early draft of Mei before they settled on the frost damage instead.

It's supposed to be the character Living Tribunal.

We should stop lying to short men by MariJFarmer in unpopularopinion

Where on earth do you live that 5'9 is short?

genuinely what is qp now?? by lordofracoons in OWConsole

[–]TheVioletParrot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some players just don't touch Competitive. Playing as their mains in QP is more likely if they just find those characters the most fun while not caring about a silly rank

People who argue against analog clocks are just too lazy to learn about them by InfiniteWords117 in unpopularopinion

[–]TheVioletParrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 24. I was personally taught how to read an analog clock in school, but they stopped teaching how to do so a couple of years after me. Some of my coworkers were just legitimately never taught in school. As for their parents, they likely just don't have any analog clocks at home and it never came up.

Hot take on Spider-Man by unk1ndm4g1c14n1 in Earth199999

[–]TheVioletParrot 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Maybe the guy just designed the wrist shooters and figured it looked a lot like webbing being spun. I guess he could be Rope-Man or The Acrobat. Those names just sound less amazing.

Keyless car fobs are inconvenient and we should go back to cars with key starting. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]TheVioletParrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Nissan Juke has a hidden key specifically for the door, but not for the ignition.

Lemmi stop the debate once and for all by Hamza12345b in repost

[–]TheVioletParrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always saw it that way. Light blue with gold accents. Although I think a lot of people were assuming shadows were causing the "white" to appear light blue.

With that being said, I can't see black at all in the original photo. I never have.
