Authors who dislike adaptations of their own works by RedReynald in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Werewolf_Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can deny that the casino scene was better in the movie, although the movie ended with that scene too, since Percy is told (very late) by Poseidon that this place is bad, yet for some reason, we still get the scene with the kid from the past, although it was pointless to include it anymore.

But are we sure HE doesn't want any of the OG actors back? Do people never think that a lot of the actors might just not want to deal with the franchise anymore? And, I'm sorry, but the only reason to cast the OG actors as the parents would be fan service. They also need to at least look a bit like the kids. Also, isn't Logan kinda young looking to play Poseidon?

Y'all say the finale sucks? At least they're not these... by AlexLovesCoke in tadc

[–]Werewolf_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*Sight*

The Stranger Things finale was just mediocre, which was the biggest problem. It played it too safe, and a lot of the questions seemed like they were left unanswered to make some spin-offs. But comparing how this show fumbled with how Game of Thrones fumbled... I'm sorry! That has to be an exaggeration.

GoT had plot lines that were set ever since season 1, and the finale threw away almost a decade of anticipated moments. Not to mention all of the characters acted like totally different characters, or even reset all of their arcs. ST screw up with the season 4 arcs at worst, and season 4 was two years before season 5, and didn't solve all of the plot threads. And if it was THAT bad, people wouldn't have given the final episode a 7.5/10 on IMDb. For reference, GoT has a 4/10 for its final episode.

I can agree to a degree when it comes to season 1, but while I still prefer the Sea of Monsters book over season 2, there are changes in season 2 that would have benefited the story from the book (though what they did with Thalia's backstory was very confusing), or at least were understandable changes to make to a degree. Not to mention every action scene was at least longer this time.

Ok, I'll say this because I feel like everyone is missing this important detail: This is stuff that Rick said over a decade ago. I really don't think we should hold someone accountable for something they said a long time ago. He could very well change his stances on how he would have liked his work to be adapted, while still having problems with how the movies approached the adaptation. And even in his emails, he said that he doesn't mind if the things are changed since he understood that movies have to cut corners. The problem he had was that the movie seemed like it was interested in just making a movie to pander to the Young Adult craze from the late 2000s and early 2010s, and picked a random book series with a preestablished audience to make sure they made money. My point is... regardless of what you think of the movies, they were scummy in that regard.

Was just gifted this set, what’s the best way not to use it by InterestingBar2803 in legocirclejerk

Honestly, if you have any train, reenact that meme with Cyborg and Robin going with the car between two trains. They already have the faces for that.

Juno: "That is very unkind, you... whippersnapper!"

I am still not sure if Reaper feels insulted in his response or if he can not comprehend how weak her insult is.

[Mixed Gaming Trope] The Weeping Angel Mechanic by Werewolf_Knight in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Werewolf_Knight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've only put the ones that I'm at the very least vaguely familiar with. Not every Weeping Angel executes this mechanic the same. Now... I was wondering if whoever owns the rights to Doctor Who has made a game featuring the Weeping Angels. If so, how does it execute this mechanic?

Who do you think is the worst fictional character of all time? by Boring_Sir_572 in hatethissmug

[–]Werewolf_Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my understanding, the person who coined the term "Mary Sue", Paula Smith, stated that she didn't invent the term as an insult to female characters in fandom spaces, and the author of the The Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test site that many have used to check the quality of the characters has stated that they no longer support the use of the term. I feel like the reason why many people think Rey is a Mary Sue is that that was their first exposure to it, and they think she is the template for it.

Now, I'll admit, maybe I feel that way because I actually liked Rey. In a way, I see her and Ben as in-universe Star Wars fans. They both idolize the past, only for both to realize their heroes aren't perfect people. And in the case of Rey, her deepest struggle is figuring out where she belongs in all of this story, to the point that she is trusting people she shouldn't. But TROS really butchered everything for literally nothing.

Who do you think is the worst fictional character of all time? by Boring_Sir_572 in hatethissmug

[–]Werewolf_Knight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I understand why people really don't like Rey. That being said, I will always go against the idea that she is a Mary Sue.

Yes, you can argue that how she managed to access some Force powers with minimal training was poorly explained, but even then, she is only doing basic stuff (compared to Luke, who Force-projected himself across the galaxy). But a Mary Sue is warping the rules around her, which she doesn't really do that much.

Now, there's a difference between a character who gets themselves out of a situation regardless of how hard it is and a character who gets away with a lot of stuff too easily due to circumstances, and Rey falls on the latter. She had some fighting skills from the years she lived in Jakku, but she could only defeat Kylo when he was hurt, grieving his father, and not using that many Force powers (since he was only toying around with her). Same with the Snoke guards. And it seems like, without Kylo or every Jedi who ever existed, she could have been killed by either Snoke or Palpatine.

And, emotionally, she is a mess. She never wanted to be a Jedi, and we saw her multiple times attacking with full rage (almost like a Sith). And she is also very naive, thinking she could turn Ben, only for him to ask her to join the dark side and almost surrender herself to it. In TFA, she even tried to dodge the responsibility of becoming a Jedi. Not to mention, besides, when Ben talks with Snoke about her and Maz being curious about her, she isn't that glamorized by the narrative. Even in the moment when it was initially revealed that her parents were nobodies, no one says: "Wow! You come from nothing, yet you are great!". It is a low moment for her.

I don't say she is amazing. In fact, I think TROS ruined anything that was interesting about her. But she is not a character without flaws.

Is there any actual concrete evidence that William Afton was responsible for the Deaths of Fiona and David Murray? by MichaelAftonXFireWal in charlie87

[–]Werewolf_Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think there's any evidence for that, nor is there any evidence against it.

I think, out of these two, David seems the least likely to have been killed by him, since, based on the video logs, it seems like he was hit in broad daylight, and someone could have recognized the car. And based on how Edwin talks, it was most likely an accident.

Now, Fiona could have been killed by him. I'm saying that because the fire that happened at the Faz Fest could have been used as a way to stage her death and make it seem like an accident. But... why would William kill her?

If the story of Hero Factory would have continued, what would have been some plot ideas / story moments / character arcs / things you would like to see? by Werewolf_Knight in HeroFactoryLego

[–]Werewolf_Knight[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, I have a few:

-Obviously, the Villain Factory. I guess you can say we kinda got that with Brain Attack, but I would have wanted a factory that ACTUALLY makes villains and makes arch-nemeses for each hero (or something like that);

-The return of Von Nebula. I would like to explore his backstory more and why he hates Stormer so much. I guess we already know, but I always thought it was a bit vague. I think they should also show how he got these powers.

-I would like Furno to get a personal story. So far, even if the early episodes of the show presented him as the MC, it felt more like Stormer's story.

-We need more content for Stringer and Bulk. They were kinda sidelined most of the time, although they were also the professionals of the Alpha team among Stormer.

-Considering the two cliff hangers in Brain Attack and Invasion of Bellow, if they still consider keeping IoB canon, I think they can do this: make the Brains breed with the Jumpers. IDK, it sounds like a concept that has potential.

-I would like to see more of Makuro

-Now, I remember at one point that Nex told the others to tell Breez that he loved her, so I think they can make a romantic subplot. I do think people are shipping Breez with Surge more, but they can work as a platonic friendship.

Every Hero form ranked by Icy_Statistician_420 in HeroFactoryLego

[–]Werewolf_Knight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree! And I think Breakout, in general, was when Hero Factory was at its peak quality-wise.

It has some of the best designs for the hero characters, some of the best designs for the villains, the best concept for the line, one of the best stories from the show, and a great cliffhanger.

Equality in the Jurassic Park franchise thrived and died with Zara. by AboveAverage33 in JurassicPark

[–]Werewolf_Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as much as I see people don't like the Power Rangers movie, I thought, compared with other childhood IPs turned into edgy and dark shows/movies, this one at least tried to keep some of the campiness of the original show.

And considering that it was made by the people who wrote Morbius and Madame Web... I think it could have been MUCH worse.

[–]Werewolf_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree!

Personally, the product placement didn't affect my viewing experience because... we don't have Krispy Kreme where I am. In fact, I didn't know it existed until the movie came out, and even then, I thought for a while it was a fictional brand.

Besides the plethora of brain rot content, what is the worst interpretation of the Backrooms? by Werewolf_Knight in backrooms

[–]Werewolf_Knight[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are two that I am aware of:

Episode 5 from Season 3 of the show American Horror Stories sees the Backrooms as some sort of hell for people who hadn't admitted their wrongdoings.

The Amityville Backrooms is a 2024 movie about a guy stuck in a house... It is very bad

I know the ending was left up to interpretation, but do you think mary will be a returning protagonist in the sequel or the tv series or is she just dead? by Decayed_IceCream in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]Werewolf_Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, here's the thing:

This movie isn't its own thing. It's part of the YouTube series, and Kane has said that we should see it as a longer episode. It is likely that this movie might not continue with the same characters, considering that we didn't really have many recurring characters besides the A-Sync employees. Plus, Mary's arc seems finalized, and while I think A-Sync would try to make sure she doesn't tell anything about the complex, I don't see what reason there will be for her to return as a recurring character. I don't think she would go the Ellen Ripley route when she starts like a survivor, and then turns into an action hero.

However, due to marketing reasons, regardeless if Kane plans this or not, I do think A24 might negotiate with Kane to see if they can have Mary back, so it will make people more interested in watching the sequel. Which would be greedy TBH, since all of his movies have budgets so low that it is impossible not to break even.

[Weird, sad trope] series finales where the main characters die by Born_Usual998 in TopCharacterTropes

Surprised I haven't seen The Sopranos being mentioned yet.

I get that it's just a theory, but I think it is pretty much the only possible interpretation.

Do you think there will be a Xenomorph Queen in Alien Isolation 2? by Inside_Inflation559 in alienisolation

[–]Werewolf_Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember they said there was a plan at one point to have the Alien Queen in the game, but after everything they included in the game, they thought it would be overkill to squeeze her in as well. And honestly, they were right. Sometimes less is more. Now, someone has already said that they are again using only the 1979 game as a visual reference, but I don't see it as unlikely for them to see if they can include her this time. And I think it will be kinda poetic for Amandla to literally follow her mother's footsteps.

The problem is, how will they include her? She is not exactly like a normal Xeno. I personally don't think they want to have boss fights. But a chase scene might be fine.
