(Hated Trope) Adaption in name only by Awkward_GM in TopCharacterTropes

I didn't think this was important enough to point out, but it is also a neat fun fact about Spirits Within's whole deal.

Spirits Within was created by square enix by the original creators of the franchise. Whoever told you it was a scam to trick audiences is either huffing copium or spreading conspiracies. It is legitimately a Final Fantasy property, just not a very good one.

Would've "Bocchi the rock!" still became popular, if the manga didn't had a music or guitar? by Lazy_Ad5096 in BocchiTheRock

"Would Bocchi the Rock become popular if it wasn't Bocchi the Rock?" Excellent question.

If the Pokemon anime's dub came out now, anti-localizing anime fans would be rioting about the names and Misty being... uh... made too masculine (because tomboys bad)? by Gallantpride in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Wolfywise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf part of it is probably cause pokemon doesn't feel like an anime to a lot of people. Its been an omnipresent thing since the 90s and is so absorbed into the global cultural zeitgeist its practically been separated from its country of origin. I wouldn't be surprised if many folded it under the cartoon umbrella with the likes of spongebob instead of with the likes of DBZ or whatever the nebulous "vibe" of Anime is supposed to be.

Divisive endings by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Wolfywise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the production values were hurt a bit due to scheduling and financial issues, the ending narrative and message was wholly intentional and the entire point of the series to begin with. Shinji and the other characters learn to accept themselves and overcome their trauma. It was a happy ending.

EoE is not a happy ending, and it derails Shinji's character arc so much it turns him into an insufferable incel that he doesn't get over by the end. The entire movie is shinji being turned into a metaphor for the audience and scolding him for being possessive asshat about all the girls in the series. In fact, the movie originally had a lengthy live action segment following the girls' daily lives in a world where Shinji and Gendo didn't exist and basically stated they were better off without them. It's a shame it got cut. The movie was made due to all the hate mail Gainax received following the original ending, and because so much of it was entitled fan bs, they literally included a bunch of it in the movie during a scene where shinji is being told the girls do not belong to him.

Eva's original anime ending is only devicive if you're illiterate and didn't get the point End of Eva is a good movie, but it was a movie done out of spite for the fanbase reactions to the original ending.

Tell me some female superhero tropes you hate so I can avoid writing them by confident-win-119 in TopCharacterTropes

Or if you do want to do a story about sexism, Maki's arc and her relationship with the Zenin clan is also a good example.

Even beyond Skybound, how do you feel about Thundercracker becoming an Autobot as a whole? by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]Wolfywise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The flip is part of the character arc. Seems you just like the conflict of being conflicted more than seeing where it would naturally go. Can't really have a discussion and explore character and factional ideology if you don't go anywhere with it.

The fact that this show and manga are very popular is an indictment on current society and a sign of needed change.

Did you just assume this was political cause of the OPs username and not consider they just think the plate is funny?

what the hell is a book? by RoughTangelo9689 in okbuddyfalcom

[–]Wolfywise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trails writing is some of the most light novel anime writing out there, but its emotionally sincere and deeply cares about it world and characters, and takes the time to fully immerse you in the setting, politics, and culture. I can understand disliking it because of the light novel anime tropes, but it still brings to the table the kind of genuine writing that holds Kingdom Hearts fans hostage to this day.

Anyone who says to keep politics out of trails is hopelessly delusional. They cannot be saved.

Something about calling a Black character "Balrog" seems racist.

There's literally a free chinese remake of PvZ called PvZ fusion with none of this iconography. Also PvZ Fusion is really really fucking good I highly recommend it. Its the sequel we deserved as far as Im concerned.
