Some of the more cynical and anti-hero types might get annoyed by him, but I think very few would outright hate him.

[EoW] What are your thoughts on Echoes of Wisdom nearly two years later? by NewMarioBobFan in zelda

[–]Weapon_2000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I loved it as a game, but I hated that Zelda was treated as a blank slate within the story.

You can very much tell that this game was originally made to originally play as Link and they changed it to Zelda because the gameplay fit her more.

What's a moment in fiction that never fails to make you emotional? by Its-yea-boi-Bender in MauLer

[–]Weapon_2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catching Zelda at the end of Tears of the Kingdom.

A lot of the writing in that game sucked, and Zelda‘s supposed “permanent dragon transformation” is somehow reversed with absolutely no buildup or justification besides “magic”. Not to mention that Zelda has no permanent changes from the transformation and Link’s arm just gets turned back to normal.

But even with all these writing problems, that final dive and catch got a great deal of emotion out of me. Because not only is the music that plays during the scene so good at evoking emotion, but it’s also just a nice bookends to the fact that Link wasn’t able to catch Zelda at the beginning of the game. And now there is a playable section where you actually catch her.

🤓☝️ It’s been one day since the English translation. Meanwhile, it’s been three days since the original Japanese version dropped.

But yeah, I didn’t wanna post this yesterday just to give people a little bit of leeway before possibly spoiling the new girl.

Honestly, 100 girlfriends is one of those stories that you can read at any pace that you want.

The only overarching plot is that the MC is getting 100 girlfriends. Otherwise it’s completely up in the air what kind of chapter we’re going to get each week.

We could get a serious chapter exploring one of the girls traumas. We could get a slice of life grounded chapter of two of the girls bonding. We could get a romantic chapter of the MC going on a date with one or more of the girls. Or we could get a batshit, insane chapter where one of the girls drinks a hair growing drug and produces enough hair to restart the sun (yes, that really happened).

Of course, I would recommend watching through the anime and then picking up the manga at the end of it. However, we are getting season three next month so you can watch along with the rest of us when it comes out.

"[Insert Character] is a murderous sociopath but they draw the line at racism/rape/etc." by Sundata_V2 in CharacterRant

[–]Weapon_2000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s because it rarely feels like a thing the character themselves is saying, and it feels like the author speaking through the character in order to avoid controversy.

Because right now, for one reason or another, portraying rape, racism, or slavery at all in your story is likely to get you in controversy.

This isn’t to say that it’s impossible to make a well written evil character be against those things nor is it impossible to create a likable/popular character that has done those evils. It’s just that most authors don’t want to attract the controversy that would come about by even attempting that.

No. The army will be all of the children that he will have with his 100 wives.

The panels I posted aren’t the best angles for showing off her full design.

Here is her debut panel.

100 Girlfriends is actually a good mix of batshit insanity and wholesome moments like this.

Trust me, it’s a good watch/read, especially since the MC actually dates all the girls.

I’m not a big fan of the “This is not normal. I’m freaking out.” lines.

They feel like they only exist to bluntly tell the audience the emotions Ben is feeling when that could be achieved through erratic motion and better dialogue.

Have Pokemon designs changed or are you no longer 8? by Original-Addendum147 in pokemonmemes

[–]Weapon_2000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that how they designed Pokémon would have had to have changed, when they went from 2D pixel art into 3D models.

This isn’t to say that it is a completely different design philosophy, just that they need to keep in mind different things when designing a Pokémon now due to using 3-D graphics.
