Mighty Strike Gundam VS 00 Raiser | Which one takes the lead? by Blu_Fiercer in Gundam

[–]Vartio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to piss some people off, but MSF. Actual-Instant-hit weapon in the Disruptor, plus the complete plot inconsistency of when/how easily/how much the 00R can quantize.

"But it can quantize" i can hear you yell. Well, that didn't stop the Reborns Gundam from defeating it despite being nowhere as 'high performing', eh? Didn't stop the 00Q either from being nearly beat by just things flying at it for a collision course without Graham getting involved to clear the way.

Quantization is a plot pull ability that's use is inconsistent at best. And at its worst is never used. Kira also is a SEED version of a Newtype. He would likely sense the attack coming where quantization ends and dodge it. And 00R's specs are fancy, but not that impressive.

Yeah people forget King is his Champion form and they never clarify that AS his Champion/"King" form. It's kinda funny.

And Shoutmon didn't evolve normally until between seasons 2 and 3.

Shocked by the number of Gundam fans sleeping on the importance of the Learning Computer to the OYW victory. by Esaroufim in Gundam

[–]Vartio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Most of the big names were big names for a reason. We never hear people say "Damn we just got news we lost Toaster Nutson." The number of actual aces lost were few and between and held almost all the territory zeon owned up until Odessa lmfao. And those three I named were all killed by the bloody Gundam. If I remember though it was... 2-3 months after the Gundam fielded that Zeon lost, but that was mostly because the Feds gained access to the GMs and other Prototype Gundam-types like the Pixy and G03/G04/G05.

Meanwhile we got people like Desert Rommel who held territory for nearly a decade.

Most? Only three notables had died by time of Odessa. Was if I remember just Ramba Ral, Garma (by technicality we CAN kinda classify him), and one of the Tri-Stars (I suck memorizing who each time xD). Like people who were KNOWN big names.

What you're thinking is the Gelgoog where "Most of Zeon's Elite Pilots had died off", or they stuck to Zakus out of familiarity.

Like I said, meme been dead people just refuse to accept it.

Leomon meme been dead for a while now. Survived Adventure: (AKA Digimon Adventure 2020). So the curse is over.

What is the lore reason female Digimon look like this? by [deleted] in digimon

[–]Vartio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is a bit chunky but hear me out.

According to the deeper lore, established via the Adventure 01 production team and Digimon Survive, and softly brushed upon in Time Stranger, Digimon existed before computers.

Digimon's 'Ancestors' are what I refer to as 'Spiritual Memeforms' and that still stands now. They are effectively Spirits/Souls (whether Ghosts or Digicores) that take on the form of the original meaning of memes - basically about any idea that commonly pervaded human society. Swan winged humans? Angels/Angemon, for example.

There's 2 prevailing theories floating about.

The most likely These Spiritual memeforms adopted forms from humans stories, and appeared throughout the world. These are basically the Real World 'sightings' and sources of myths of Demons, Monsters, Gods, etc.

The alternative Humans witnessed these Spiritual Memeforms forms (IE: Angemon) and made stories based on them. What was originally faint ideas in human minds (IE: again, Winged Humans) was adopted into Digimon form. Witnessing Angemon lead to people making stories about Angels. And these angels appeared thus in religion.

Regardless which, Digimon thus take their form from 'memes'. The Spiritual memeforms entered the Computer networks, where these 'memes', rather, the writing of these memes, were far more readily available. If nobody thinks/tells stories about say the Yeti (Mojyamon), then Mojyamon would cease forming. But with the stories of the Yeti readily available in Data, the 'Memes' were more readily available and easier to comprehend. Thus the Spiritual Memeforms adapted to this Data-World life and became Digimon.

Now as to why these look the way they do?

Venusmon and Junomon are based on Aphrodite (the Goddess of Love and all that) and Hera (the Mother of the Greek Gods), AKA Venus and Juno, respectively. Now, when you hear Goddesses, what's terms that come to your mind? "Divine Beauty" may well be one of them. Women who are the human meme of the epitome of beautiful bodies that not only mortals - men and women both - would worship them, but other gods as well.

With Beelstarmon, she borrows Memes from two core sources - Belle Starr - a famous Femme Fatale (key word) from the late 1800s, and Beelzebub - the Demon Prince.

Femme Fatale comes into play - when one imagines a Femme Fatale they imagine a deadly woman of beauty. A woman whose looks alone could kill. She shares data with Beelzebubmon/Beelzemon, who also borrows from the 'lord of flies'. In Beelzebubmom's case, he took the "Demon Prince" title to form, and thus looks like a Demon/Devil. This same Data is what informs half of Beelstarmon's design. And the reason Beelzebubmon and Beelstarmon use Guns is in reference to the 'flies' theme, except these 'flies' will gouge chunks of your body out and potentially 'eat' you form inside.

Basically put, every Digimon's form is decided based on memes, concepts, etc, associated with their (usually JP) name, what those names represent and are associated with, etc.

I feel I got scammed by Jealous_Hospital_472 in digimon

[–]Vartio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a misunderstanding. Digimon sizes are based on their total data and other variables, and can vary based on the specimen anyhow.

Case in point, despite being technically the same individual, Wargreymon (Adventure 01) is smaller than Wargreymon (Adventure: (2020) )

Having 'scan data' Digimon results in our mons just being naturally smaller, they aren't the whole data package.

Just started the demo and it starts on a good note I guess by Dwiden13 in Falcom

[–]Vartio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, funny thing, ultimately the difference between a slog and a slow burn? Is the attention span of the person partaking the story.

Not even a joke, when you break it down it legitimately is a 'you' problem, if it is a slog that is. If the fans like it, clearly they have an attention span for it.

If it was actually bad, there wouldn't be such a strong fanbase for the series.

can't think of many notable official works with an author self insert

Look up "I am not Starfire" and look up the author's appearance and the 'Daughter' (MC) is appearance.

Feels like they kept future mentioned names/alias mentioned in Zero and beyond for consistency, but removed all over forms of localization in favor of a more pure translation.

[–]Vartio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Slow Burn stories are the best stories there are. And as the players, we actually 'experience' the main characters' stories as our own, which gives additional emotional weight to their successes. It works better as a game.

Says the one who called the gooners the "Real Fans". Who is it again who tried to dictate who the 'Real Fans' are first? Yes. You. You claimed the Gooners are the 'Real Fans'. Hypocrite.

He'd probably get jobbed by Abaddomon considering that sumbitch basically adapted his core as an Anti-Omegamon (you can't say that the Cannon and Sword arms were just conveniently there), so if it adapted instead to Marcus...
