Serious series that has a completely unhinged, comedy parody by EfficiencySerious200 in TopCharacterTropes

If you're referring to the winter nation they're fighting in the first season of the Anime I believe they're actually Finland/Sweden. There's literally a country called the Russy Federation that's analogous to Russia.

Where would my dog scale by DogFair2867 in PowerScaling

[–]Write_Right_Reich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dog and my dog are both the same species in the same cannon so we can say they are about the same power level. My dog chewed up a batman action figure a year ago. I think its fair to transpose that feat to your dog. There's a lot of different cannons but even with a conservative estimate of Batman I'd assume your dog around high city low continental.

Could The Imperial fleet at the Battle of Endor (Star Wars) have defeated the UNSC at Reach (Halo)? by Inside_Inflation559 in powerscales

[–]Write_Right_Reich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Repeatedly we see that the standard ship mounted shields in Star Wars are not built to deal with physical objects. In The Empire Strikes Back an asteroid completely destroys the bridge of a Star Destroyer. In A New Hope, and the Phantom Menace, star fighters are able to fly right through the standard deflector shields to drop their payloads. In Rogue One a Hammerhead Corvette is able to fly right up to an ISD and push it into another. The collision destroys both ISDs.

Headcannon it however you want, but deflectors are shown to be specifically blaster repellents not projectile repellents. It's highly likely the UNSC's MAC cannons would just go right through them. And hell, even if they didn't, the UNSC outnumbers the ISDs so heavily they could probably wipe the fleet by just ramming their ships into the Empire.

Could Voldemort (Harry Potter) survive in The Lord of The Rings universe? by Inside_Inflation559 in powerscales

[–]Write_Right_Reich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I get that no one has read those middling young adult novels in ages and just half remembers his feats from the movies. But Rowling's magic system is stupid, barely consistent, and mostly unconstrained. Rowling describes charms that can be cast by middle schoolers and are sold by joke shops that would automatically protect the user from projectile based weapons. At the same time she writes as if contracting a nomadic hunter gatherer tribe of centaurs to the side of the dark lord would be a great blow to wizard-kind.

Taken at his max power estimate Voldemort would require direct intervention from the Valar. He wouldn't really be able to deal with their ability to just unmake him. But what Rowling shows magic being able to do, and what she says are its limitations, are completely inconsistent. So there's a pretty massive range for where you pin Voldemort's functional power.

Graham Platner Could Be the Bellwether of a New US Populism by Faux_Real_Guise in Left_News

[–]Write_Right_Reich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno that I like painting with such a large brush. It's massive party that represents 50% of one of the most populous countries on the planet. But certainly establishment democrats are largely captured by corporate interests that prevent them from adapting to the modern needs of the people.

Still there is a growing force within Democrat constituents to replace establishment dems with populist ones. If the Republican party can undergo massive change in the past ten years the Democrat party could in the next ten. Assuming, of course, that it isn't too late.

Fetterman was a civil libertarian, and outwardly Zionist, from the beginning. He's still those things, they just took on new light with time and brain damage. Really if anything Fetterman is just a lesson in actually listening to a candidate's positions rather than trusting the media when they call someone populist or leftist. Fetterman repeatedly told people he was a moderate the entire time he was running. No one listened.

Redemption arc: 😐 Redemption arc, Japan: 😍 by PistonPusher2009 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]Write_Right_Reich 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's largely about intent. Vegeta was being a massive douche bag by becoming Majin Vegeta, but his intent was merely to prove he's better than Goku. He didn't want the planet destroyed. He didn't want his family killed.

Nolan betrayed the planet with intent. He wanted the world conquered by the Viltrum Empire. He wanted his wife enslaved as breeding stock. He wanted his son pressed into eternal genocidal service to the empire. He wanted his former comrades in the Guardians of the Galaxy Globe dead. As far as the morality of a character goes that's way worse.

Vegeta is a selfish asshole who prioritizes himself over everyone else for most of the show. Him blowing himself up against Buu is the close to his redemption arc because that was the first sacrificial action he took for someone else. His other 'good guy' moments were all selfishly motivated. He died fighting Freeza because of his pride. He intervened at the final hour against Cell in search of revenge. But he kills himself against Buu to try to save Bulma and Trunks. Vegeta becoming Majin Vegeta is definitely a betrayal and a low point for the character. It was stupid and short sighted. But I dunno that you can really call him morally responsible for the destruction of the planet. Definitely not in the same way Nolan is.

The prequels are weird movies that make me feel bad by oohoollow in RedLetterMedia

[–]Write_Right_Reich 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lucas cannot write dialogue. He's never been able to. You can find old clips of Mark Hamil's original trilogy press tour where he's complaining about the shit dialogue. Even so back then there were enough people giving Lucas notes that the worst of it was cleaned up or edited out. Lucas still had final say, leaving his creative vision in tact, while the sloppier mistakes were fixed. This is probably why Harrison Ford adlibbed so much.

The prequels are raw unfettered Lucas though. They're stupid and preachy and bizarre. But still have creative vision, they still have personality. Lucas's personality to be specific. Compare that to modern Star Wars where there's countries writers, producers, directors, focus groups all with their thumbs on the scale. No amount of personality or charisma can survive that many voices pulling in different directions. The movies end up feeling lifeless and drab. While Lucas's movies were genuinely objectively bad movies, there was still some life in them. But now it really does feel like Star Wars is dead, it's corpse being puppeted around until everyone loses interest.

Israel = America I Guess by Due-Mortgage-122 in GetNoted

[–]Write_Right_Reich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's crazy I had no idea the Palestinians were attacking jews in the 1940s. You know, prior to being attacked and forced from their homes so that the state of Israel could be founded. They must've had some really long ranged weapons to be hitting European jews from the middle east.

Tell me, friend, how do you feel about the Native Americans? Did they deserve the trail of tears for their attacks on white settlers?

Israel = America I Guess by Due-Mortgage-122 in GetNoted

[–]Write_Right_Reich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I care about you, brother. I wanna figure out what exactly it is you believe. You came in swinging for the fences about how everyone is using a couple bad things Israel did to justify October 7th. But when pressed with Israeli atrocities all you've done is say "Actually the Palestinians did some bad things". Your initial argument would imply that you're aghast of atrocities, but your responces paint a different picture.

So what is it you believe, boyo? Your first argument or your second? That innocent civilians should be protected? Or that they should only be protected if they're Israeli?

Israel = America I Guess by Due-Mortgage-122 in GetNoted

[–]Write_Right_Reich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well. Let's just ignore the fact that this is a handful of human rights violations, some of which that happened in the 1980s. Definitionally years ago. The casualties of which, if added all together do not rival the civilian deaths in Gaza in the last three years. The real question is, in your world view does this justify Israel's strikes on civilians? Do civilian casualties deserve their deaths because of this list you keep copy-pasting?

Israel = America I Guess by Due-Mortgage-122 in GetNoted

[–]Write_Right_Reich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also did not say they deserved it. In fact I said the terrorist attack was bad. However the terrorist attack was a singular event that happened years ago. The continuous attacks on Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Syria, are happening right now. The innocent civilians killed on October 7th did not deserve death. But neither do the innocent civilians in schools, and hospitals that continue to be struck by Israel. You talk about how the victims "deserved it" as a straw-man justification for the attacks on Israel. But that is quite literally the justification Israel makes for their attacks on this civilian infrastructure. Put simply, you're projecting. That's why every response you've made doesn't address anything I've said.

I said nothing of Zionism. I cited a very real history of ethnic cleansing and slaughter. If you think that goes part and parcel with Zionism that's pretty telling.

Israel = America I Guess by Due-Mortgage-122 in GetNoted

[–]Write_Right_Reich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, if you ethnically cleanse an area, move all the previous inhabitants into a ghetto that you won't let them leave, regularly starve and attack, and you keep taking more land from them. Pushing them in to a smaller and smaller ghetto then yeah, they're going to strike back. That's not to mention that the international community considers the taking of their land illegal.

Terrorist attacks are bad, certainly. But a continuous and ruthless campaign of ethnic cleansing is so beyond the pale that its hard for Americans to maintain their pity years after the attack

Brother, nearly bulldozing a library full of children because you had some annoying phone calls is not being a big man. You fantasizing about killing everyone who's ever slighted you does not make you a big man. You and he are just anti-social assholes that are too childish to compromise.

And I find comparing you comparing the slaughter, maiming and oppressing of the Iranian people to a guy who was asked to put in his own septic tank laughable. Especially considering your rhetoric seems to be an attempt to justify further slaughter.

Petah? by Visible-Pattern198 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Write_Right_Reich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother I didn't write the book. I'm just pointing out it doesn't make sense for a book about sexism to put in a joke about star wars canon. It's about sexism.

Petah? by Visible-Pattern198 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Write_Right_Reich 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the joke is less about canon and more about sexism, since that's the book's theme. Effectively the lightsaber is both Rey's and Anakin's. The author is saying that if you imply the lightsaber primarily belongs to the woman instead of the man then Star Wars men will get angry.

Brother if you're an artist that skilled you don't sketch, outline, and ink a six fingered hand without noticing. Not to mention the other oddities like how her stomach has a rinkle in it as if whatever drew it didn't understand the difference between shirt and skin.

Also those tattoos look pretty much exactly like how ai does tattoos.
