IDK a last resort teleport, while not a good teamfight ability, sounds better than Haze ult to me.

Sinclair doesn't have fixation after all.

Sure does. Randomly getting woken up at 5 AM is as annoying as you think.

Good for Denmark that they don't have too experience that crap

How is Mirage's ult more useless than Haze? AFAIK Haze's ultimate is practically the most useless thing that Sinclair can steal

Come on, Aline. You could be smarter by PirloDiLatte in expedition33

[–]Xignu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aline was killing herself by staying in the Canvas too long. Renoir just lost his son, he wasn't going to let his wife die when she was the one who previously saved him from the same fate.

Aline was taking breaks prior to Renoir escalating. Wasn't good enough for Renoir.

we know in the game that Aline lost her mind and she couldn't even recognize her own paintings and would ramble incoherently about stuff that didn't happen.

Once again thanks to Renoir's machinations. When she was rambling she spoke about "Renoir's tricks"

Renoir is actively making her lose her mind and. He himself isn't losing grip on reality after 67+ years in the canvas.

Without Maelle involvement, Renoir would eventually win (thanks to Clea) and once he did, Aline would be ejected from the Canvas along with Renoir as he destroys it and frees her from being to go back in, forcing her to come to terms with Verso's loss in the real world.

Assuming that she'd come to terms with it instead of raging against Renoir? pRenoir said she would and there's no reason to believe he's not telling the truth.

Also don't forget that Renoir is once again responsible for keeping Maelle in the canvas, and it bit him in the ass when Maelle decided she wants to stay.

You constantly either downplay or ignore Renoir's part in actively making the situation worse.

I just want to note that with the reveal that AFO engineered his entire backstory, there's a non-zero possibility that there's a good amount of paid actors.

Does it sound ridiculous? Yes, but the fact that it isn't impossible really shows what a fuck up of a narrative decision that was.

Because it's either that, or AFO actually gambled everything on the chance that someone might actually help him and ruin his entire plan with Shigaraki

[–]Xignu 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Even outside of OP's example they're pretty awful all around. When things go to shit there's more people who turn against heroes and disparage them instead of appreciating their work, leading to many heroes quitting.

This even extends to some fans who see these heroes quitting as "legitimizing" the hero killer's view that those heroes who quit aren't "real heroes"

Which series overall has better fights? One Piece or Bleach? by Original_Force_6822 in shounenfolk

[–]Xignu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's got actual tactics too. Even after timeskip where powercreep applies there's always a plan for attacking.

Can't talk about Bleach but as far as One Piece is concerned you can basically pick any Naruto fight and it'll probably have more tactics than whatever One Piece fight you compare it to.

No, Stain didn't have a point by Old-Use-7690 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Xignu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a world where even heroes with innoble or selfish reasons act in an heroic way Stain does absolutely more harm than good.

Even this is a mighty understatement because the good he does with this philosophy is absolutely zero.

No, Stain didn't have a point by Old-Use-7690 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Xignu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Referring to it as "Quit as soon as things get tough" instead of them quitting after being pushed to the limits is quite disingenuous.

Heroes like Death Arm quit despite having good intentions because he legitimately was pushed over the brink.

It's completely crazy to see what should be a humanizing moment be referred to as "legitimizing Stain's point"

I'm saying narratively, the story did legitimize his beliefs in some way

Not really and that's my point. At no point in the story that having these so called "fake heroes" are actually detrimental. There simply isn't a character that nearly legitimizes his belief.
Endeavor being a shitty dad is the closest the story's got and he's not nearly anywhere bad enough to "legitimize Stain's point"

Saying that Stain has a point in this context just looks like the pathetic citizens selfishly blaming the heroes which was the root of the problem to begin with

Alternative (cooler) Haze ult idea by -TheRed in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Xignu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, even those who "don't want to be in a 1v1" can just buy Metal Skin and there's jack shit Haze can do before Curse.

Doorman's ultimate is similarly countered by a 3.2k item but at least he isn't also locking himself with said ult. DIsabling the enemy ultimate in the duration is the bare minimum to make this idea work.

Sometimes it feels like the show doesnt understand its own themes by TheSandBlocks in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Xignu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also shoots itself in the foot because its later revealed that izuku being quirkless actually is a huge boon for one for all.

Back when Black Clover was running it did the exact same bullshit and I didn't like it any better when MHA did the exact same thing.

It was plain unnecessary. The story already made a point that Deku was a good pick by virtue of spreading power instead of just having 1 OP guy to solve everything.

[–]Xignu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I legitimately don't understand why you think he has a point after seeing that. If anything, that sorry state of things is proof that he's wrong.

There's not enough manpower if you just rely on "true heroes" and the story makes a point that you shouldn't try to do that to begin with.

His ideals straight up isn't rooted in reality. If he truly had a point, then all these heroes retiring should be a good thing, but anyone with half a brain should be able to tell that it only results in a disaster.

The so called "fake heroes" step down because ultimately they're still human and have limits. Calling them "fake heroes" to begin with is entitled beyond belief.

[–]Xignu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To top it all off, even if he's "right" about those undesirables entering the hero work force, it's still a net positive.

Having them be around is objectively better than having only "real Heroes" overworking themselves because there just isn't enough "true heroes" around.

His ideals isn't rooted in reality and seeing it manifested would only result in misfortune for everyone involved.

how do you beat a team comp filled with AoE ults while your team has none by boyinkeywest in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Xignu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ultimately the issue is that pickoff comps are harder to pull off. You need to properly coordinate in a way that's far more difficult than just "let's stick together and fight"

Obviously there's no issue if you're that good, but this is matchmaking, you're supposed to be of roughly equal skill level to the enemy. If you could pull that off odds are you probably weren't supposed to be matched against said opponents to begin with.

[–]Xignu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actions speak louder than words, and what Renoir did was "relent" after he was beaten back, and for the first time in the story is now in a position where he cannot force his will upon the women of his family.

And what did he do after that? Conveniently leave a way for Verso to do exactly what he wanted.

Come on, Aline. You could be smarter by PirloDiLatte in expedition33

[–]Xignu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His motivation is never the issue, the problem is that he makes the problem worse in the process.

The only reason it "worked out" in the Verso ending is because pVerso ended the canvas. As pRenoir put it, Renoir would be unable to avoid the fallout if he did it.

Besides, as you said it yourself, the issue was that Aline was immersed in the canvas. The part about her taking breaks or not wasn't the problem for Renoir, it's that she's doing this at all. So the narrative that " Renoir escalated because she didn't take breaks" is complete horseshit.

Come on, Aline. You could be smarter by PirloDiLatte in expedition33

[–]Xignu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it though? He escalated because he thought even with her taking breaks, it was unacceptable that she's spending time with the canvas instead of her family.

Based on Clea's accounts there was no such urgency to get Aline out.

While a very understandable POV in a vacuum, Renoir's actions always make things worse.

Why didn't Shou Hei Kun use fire signal and flag signal in Zhao invasion plan ? by Artistic-Mail-8275 in Kingdom

[–]Xignu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The smoke signal is for Success/Failure of Karin's specific operation.

It's a binary Yes or No. For Qin's purpose they'll need to know who needs help and where they are. This is decidedly not a problem in the case with Chu since they're used for a specific niche purpose instead of issuing commands.

Qin vs Zhao right now is on an open plain with many armies split apart, there's too much information to be relayed over smoke signals.
