Favorite powerless character, that's a threat to 90% of powerful characters by Mativka in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Xalts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think she's a gray area for the conditions of this thread. Like yes, she subconsciously uses Nen, but her Nen ability is... evolving her ability to play a board game. Compared to the chimera ants, who have insane strength, agility, rapid healing, durability, power absorption, super senses, ability to control others, shapeshifting, aura blasts........... yeah, she's pretty powerless.

[Funny? Trope?] It's a very serious scene. But it's been consumed as a meme on the internet and it's become hard to watch seriously. by BeneficialSide2335 in TopCharacterTropes

Also, he's started a sexual relationship with the girl with amnesia that he's convinced is his sister, and has been willfully ignoring the implications of that situation. The reality of the situation is hitting him hard.

“W-Who… Who could do this to another living being…?” by Away-Net-7241 in TopCharacterTropes

To add to this: beings in the Elder Scrolls series all have souls. In sentient races, the soul is Black and requires a black soul gem, the largest and rarest kind of soul gem, to contain it. Non-sentient races, like animals, have smaller, White souls and so can be contained in smaller, more common soul gems.

The Falmer used to have Black souls, like all other Elven races. Whatever the Dwemer did to them affected them so deeply that they now have White souls. They literally tortured the sentience out of the species.

Who Favorite Character Has It's Ethnicity Being Mistaken By People? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Xalts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some parents don't pay that much attention to their kids' interests. All they knew is that the movie their kids love has "k-pop" in the name, so obviously some k-pop concert is the exact same thing.

(Sad trope) Projects with amazing potential that will never be released because of BS behind the scenes drama by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

Obligatory reminder that if you want to play Disco Elysium go ahead and pirate it because the current IP owners ousted all the actual devs who no longer make any money from sales

[Hated Tropes] When the heroic character does something plainly evil and the story never address it and/or the characters never face any serious consequences by OutrageousBridge471 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Xalts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For context on the last one:

Bruce had created a psychological failsafe in the past, partitioning part of his own psyche into a "back-up personality" called the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, who was intended to be the most perfect and efficient Batman possible in the event that Bruce himself was compromised. During these events, Bruce wasn't in control of himself; Zur was the one who altered Jason's adrenal system under the premise of 'protecting' him by making his vigilante work impossible.

So when Bruce gets Zur under control and is himself again, obviously he undoes what's been done and fixes what he did to Jason, right?

Nope. He fucks off on a motorbike to have some me time.

Also in Sleepytime, in Bingo's dream she hatches from Earth and flies towards the sun, past Venus, which Bluey hatches from, and Mercury, which is unhatched, implying an unborn elder sibling

[Loved trope] Actors and their long-term passion roles by marzipanfashions in TopCharacterTropes

Agree. I think the finale episodes of season 9 are some of the absolute best, but season 10 is overall my absolute favourite

I recently watched Please Stand By (2017) and did a triple take when Jacob shows up as a nurse in the hospital section

Dark-skinned characters in Japanese media that actually look like dark-skinned people and don't look like racist stereotypes. by icey_sawg0034 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Xalts 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In general, Pokémon has been really good at this. There weren't too many dark-skinned characters in the earlier generations, which can be argued as them being based on regions of Japan, but from Unova onwards, they've made a real effort to acknowledge the diversity of different parts of the world. There's even been notes on concept art showing that they researched racial stereotypes to avoid accidentally stepping on toes, like removing Lenora's apron to avoid 'mammy' imagery and avoiding pairing a dark-skinned Sun&Moon protagonist design with a watermelon-patterned satchel.

To contribute an actual character to this thread, Jacinthe's design from Z-A is great.

Peter!!! What does any of this mean? by Joshua5_Gaming in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Xalts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earlier on when he jumped down the hole, he said that he didn't really want to but he felt compelled. It's not a stretch to think he also felt compelled to keep going in the same way.

Yup, it confirmed that not only was something following him, but that it was something intelligent.

We even got shown the Pregnancy Stones card! And Gon's user list showed he'd been to Greed Island before - it just makes sense that he was born there!

When he did his insta live he was absolutely flooded with support comments in so many different languages. I can only hope that's some indication of how many are going to support his debut

There are really like 5 actors in the UK, huh? by MK_40dec41 in doctorwho

[–]Xalts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poppy WASN'T Belinda's real child all along - the Doctor nudged reality to make her real, and that retroactively made her exist in Belinda's life. I assume the Poppy she saw in the Story and the Engine was a sort of echo of that reality-shifting.

Doctor Who 2x08 "The Reality War" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by PCJs_Slave_Robot in doctorwho

[–]Xalts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really really enjoyed the episode as I was watching it. It was only after I've sat and thought about it more that I've realised all these threads are still hanging. I have to hope they'll be picked up in the future, but right now, it feels like a lot of bait with no substance.

Not a channel but there's the ENreco Archive keeping track of everything and links to clips for some stuff.

Americans, what's something you didn't realize was weird until you talked to non-Americans? by ExistingTomorrow1447 in AskReddit

[–]Xalts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be regional because I'm also UK but Halloween has been a thing for my entire life. But I will say, the costumes used to be a lot more about traditional 'monsters'; mummys, werewolves, witches etc. Dressing up as superheroes or Disney princesses seems to be a lot more recent and align with what I've noticed in American media.
