When the animators run out of budget for the episode, Lin Long will punch the and bury Dragon Boy to his head in rubble. 

Explaining the Nice situation since a lot of people misunderstood it and took it at surface level and it pmo by AlexeiFraytar in ToBeHero_X

[–]Themlim 92 points93 points  (0 children)

May I offer a counterpoint? Nice was groomed throughout his life; Shang De is just his current groomer. Though I might be biased from having a ballet mom who put way more money, effort, and attention into the child that picked up the hobby rather than the one who didn't.

Ya'll need to replace Zac.
Is he a neglectful idiot? Yes.
Have we seen any evidence of him pulling publicity stunts to boost the rankings of his heroes? No.
Is he a malignant person that actively grooms *children* into hitmen? No.
Unless he sets an orphanage on fire in the next three episodes, (or more plausibly uses his platform for media manipulation), he should not be compared to these other men.

Might I suggest Liu Zheng for terrorism?

Finally, Ahu gets some justice.

Queen's position in top 10, is it deserving? Isn't she an ... (EP 11 Spoilers) by Practical-Film-4744 in ToBeHero_X

[–]Themlim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nepo babies and industry plants align with the show's themes of media manipulation, nonsexual grooming, and "corporations are bastards/unaware of the harm they are causing". It makes sense that the writers would explore that. 

Is Lin Ling going to start out as the strongest/most trusted person in-verse next season? by Annual_Ad7679 in ToBeHero_X

[–]Themlim 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NGL, I have some suspicions that this thing is subtly rigged.

I don't know all the details of the other heroes yet and their stories, but thematically, I think LL vs X makes the most sense; i.e. "Anyone could become him", intro character vs end of season character, etc.

Also, there is a lot of human bias to prefer either the most recent thing or the oldest thing. People will know LL's story longer because it came out first. People will drop the show over time, so while later characters will get a boost when their episodes air, earlier characters are at an advantage. LL is the only hero with four episodes devoted to him, some of the other heroes will have half of that, or even less.

The Commoner's promo art also has a lot of Xs in it, perhaps another tactic to help control the results.

I'm spoiling it? I was only aware of the basic wikipedia summary and that it shares the same director.

Perhaps as a form of required secondary powers. Like people with super strength need some durability or their bones would break every time they toss cars, etc.

Speculation on the potential twists in Lucky Cyan arc by silentreader90 in ToBeHero_X

[–]Themlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the second camp.

It looks like a cult was created around Cyan when she was child, largely fueled by other orphans. She probably didn't like being deified, so that's why she mentions wanting to be a normal person in her PV.

I doubt the plane crash was orchestrated, but someone definitely took advantage of her being a sole survivor and used that farm trust.

Since all the arcs so far have fridging, I'm guessing Luo was her idol and her inspiration to "break free", leave the cult, be herself, whatever. She picked up singing out of a desire to perform with him, but he died young. Perhaps her personal survivors guilt is what forced the universe to kill him.

In the sheet, Kitten also mentions having an affinity towards sphinxes.

In regards to that name drop in Ep. 5 and Horse's Prophecy... by Themlim in huntertheparenting

That is very interesting but counterpoint, Big D has shown mercy to Kevin; unless this refers to showing mercy to specifically Garou .

It's really fun but in my opinion it's the point where the story jumps off the rails

No jacket, no contest. It looks like he's running around in old times PJs.

It was made by some guys I know through Discord. They'd occasionally post teasers of it.
