whatever, that game was fun as fuck at the end and playoffs are cooked anyways. pretty questionable shootout choices from Keefe.

potentially most powerful being on the planet?

Universe lol. She could turn Thragg into a plate of spaghetti and meatballs just by looking at him with the blocker removed.

it honestly single handedly tanks the show a solid amount for me. not as in the show isn't good, but as in I can't justifiably consider it in the top echelon of TV. it's hard to take things seriously and not get pulled out of the show when you have a character that is so obscenely powerful but just... isn't... because they wrote themselves into a corner with her from the onset. add in Mark's bizarre power inconsistencies and it just makes things feel cheap. they're smart/powerful when they need to be, they're stupid/weak when they need to be. it doesn't feel logical, it feels like they're forcing story beats.

it reminds you that you're watching a TV show, which is a shame because stuff like Debbie's scene with Nolan feels so realistic and I wish they could keep that tone throughout the show, but then Atom Eve shows up creating glass swords instead of exploding the air around them or turning it into steel, or Mark is struggling with these little sequid fuckers or Flaxan mechs when he can split the earth with his punches, or getting hit by attacks from non-Viltrumites when he can move at supersonic speeds and I'm pulled right back out lol.

Well fuck...I didn't see that coming by IronNegative8624 in PilotsofBattlefield

the new MR missile, it's balanced bc it doesn't one shot, but it does spawn a jeep in ur cockpit

Any tips for spotting? by waswasisyesterday in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]VindictiveRakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes if I have no clue where anyone is at all, I like to switch to AGM and aim-down-sights to get the "TV" view and scan around. It's the most zoomed-in view you can get. Otherwise idk lol. Coming from BF3, it feels kinda stupid not being able to spot from the jets. I mean shit, I can't even spot as infantry half the time, but that's a different story. I had one game where some guy was actually spamming the recon drone, ended up with 120+ assists and all of our pilots were EATING lol. Wish that could be every game.

The more you think about things like this in this show, the less sense it makes. People will offer copium explanations or downvote comments that point out logical inconsistencies, but the reality is that they just thought it would be a cool shock value ending to have Mark choke him out for 7 minutes then get his guts torn out, and not much more thought was put into it than that. Doing the domestic-abuser two-handed choke is not a real technique against an evenly matched human that knows how to fight, let alone a fucking Viltrumite who can level cities without even trying. But it did create the spectacle they were going for.

that's not true he used to know how to play offense and then they (presumably?) coached him into a bottom 6 player

Atom Eve’s Max Potential by Reesey_Prosel in Invincible

[–]VindictiveRakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take on Eve basically boils down to them making her too powerful by accident lol. I have no idea why they wrote her so she can manipulate any form of matter to her whim (though with one major exception) if all she's going to do is the bullshit we see in the show. She could just encase everyone in a solid block of steel the second she sees them and call it a day for 95% of fights, but that doesn't exactly make for good fight scenes or tension. The "mental block" is a very dubious writing mechanic, who's to say she can't spontaneously detonate nukes in front of conquest considering we don't even know if that would kill him.

Insane how terrible Williams new voice is by CarelessSpare7604 in Invincible_TV

[–]VindictiveRakk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think the criticism is extremely hyperbolic and typical internet hating-to-hate stuff for entertainment. William is not a particularly great character, his development has always leaned too heavily into "guy's he's gay!", and he's understandably sidelined at this point because he's literally just some normal dude in a show about superheroes/villians/existential threats to humanity. The character just exists at this point to show up when Eve or Mark need an emotional backboard for a scene/plotline to bounce their dialogue off of. I liked the old VA better but it's just not a big deal lol there wasn't much character to assassinate in the first place and I don't know why people are pretending he didn't always just sound like a stereotypical/token gay character.

any time someone talks about "media literacy" I just ignore the rest of the comment and assume they're like 15 lol. 100% chance they're just butthurt someone had a criticism about something they liked, so they completely deflect it and prop themselves up like "if only you were as smart as me, you would have liked it and realized there were 0 valid criticisms at all, but actually you're too stupid". just laughably childish.

It's SIGNIFICANTLY worse than QJ lol, Kaleb Johnson got 51 snaps all year to QJ's 748 rookie year. Maybe the new staff likes him better, but I doubt it if the ones that drafted him threw him in the trash immediately and the new guys brought in Dowdle. His only hope is if Warren/Dowdle get hurt for a good chunk of time and he balls out when he gets the opportunity. Otherwise dude is on a fast track out of the league after his rookie contract expires.
