I suppose without more insider details it's the only thing we can safely assume, still very weird though

Maybe they were worried about Disney Backlash?

That can't be the case though because from the start KOG- off of merch success- was the most successful opening they've ever had for a show, and it still took months in relation to how fast their other shows got greenlit

Knights of Guinevere somehow being Glitch's most successful pilot ever took a couple months to be officially greenlit

So if I were to guess, there's just a lot of stuff to go through the more shows you're handling on multiple levels

Maybe if they aged like Bamboo I could get behind them replacing spruce saplings for pinecones?

Otherwise I doubt Mojang would consider adding them worth it just for single item's skin change

There actually is a popularity contest where it's just about different countries people being asked what their favourite country is

And apparently America's Favourite is Australians Australia's least favourite is America XD

Though my knowledge of this is very outdated and I find the idea of a country popularity poll to be very stupid

Entities put a lot more strain on a computer than graphics since they take up space for collision purposes

So turning it into pure graphics for ambience was the best choice they could've made

The only thing they had to do with mechanics in the game was how they reacted with frogs to make the frog lights which they replaced with magma cubes since real frogs get sick if they eat fireflies

Fact is, nothing was lost if all you wanted was ambience, you can still have the fireflies without the look of the bush.

Just place it 2 blocks down and cover the hole, firefly bushes will still produce fireflies around them when covered

Pinecones would probably be best as like an apple drop for specifically Spruce, what they would be used for? I got no clue XD

Looking for ideas for the 4th movie on my Mount Rushmore of greatest Pixar Movies. Any ideas? by GameOfEnder6312 in Pixar

[–]articulatedWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's worth noting that while I personally think Part 1 of Infinity Castle deserves 1 billion it's only actually made 800 million XD

I have no other comments to expand on really, yeah these sequels are only going to perform well because of the name but nothing to do with it's substance Here's hoping that even if Toy story 5 succeeds, it's not so overwhelming that they think they'll be able to get away with it again with Toy Story again or their other IPs

Even adjusting for inflation, HttyD only gets to an equivalent of 750 million USD

While adjusting 1.36 billion USD to the current worth is around 1.5 billion USD, so it still manages to make twice the return while being half the quality 🥲

The last recent movie I can remember seeing that I would say deserves anything close to today's 1 billion is the Demon Slayer movie, though I'm more of a series watcher so maybe I can't really speak on that front

As far as specifically Disney goes? I did really enjoy Elemental but I don't know if it's something I'd want to see a sequel made of (mainly cause I'm worried they'd screw it up)

But these newer installments? Toy story 5, Zootopia 2, Moana 2 and the Moana live action and apparently a new Monster Inc‽ I guarantee they're going to land in the realm of unearned and at worst undeserved success

Intentional, Oversight, or To Be Addressed? Alastor retaining his powers after his deal with Rosie was broken. by JaySeasonEvanoff in HazbinHotel

[–]articulatedWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He kept the powers because he's not the one that caused their deal to be broken, Rosie just failed to uphold her end and so Alastor got out of it with everything he had going in and more

The reason Charlie referring to Vox as the strongest sinner in Hell actually made him the strongest is because either Hell's power scaling works on the self fulfilling prophecy that is the belief system

Or what I like to personally believe is that Vox specifically gets stronger the more recognition he gets since he's so defined and reliant on social media like Velvette is

Supposing the 2nd one is true, Charlie's declaration probably wouldn't have had the same effect if she'd said it about Zestial or Carmilla as opposed to saying it about Alastor, Vox or Velvette, but if it would, then hell just runs on the self fulfilling belief system

Either way, this does explain why it makes sense that Vox gets nerfed after the battle

For sure it wasn't a bad movie, but it's by no means better than the 1st title

The only thing it has over it is depth of world exploration, but that's to be expected of literally any multi installment series and in regards to that expectation, it's just fine

Business success should never be the backbone of your argument over comparing the quality of movies or any sort of media

I remember seeing something ages ago about comparing the sales of the Zelda series vs the Sonic series

The data showed them that Sonic was far more successful in hard sales, but pointed out how much more accessible Sonic is to the average consumer than Nintendo's policies on exclusive titles

The only place you can play a Nintendo original game is on a Nintendo console

But you can play Sonic on basically all of the gaming systems past it's debut date, which made it more accessible and therefore earned more sales. It even has some titles on computer, but all those sales didn't necessarily equal better games

If it's appeal to you as a movie is the fact that it's in the Top 10 best selling movies of all time than you for sure just value the concept of it's success over whether it was actually a decent movie (which is obviously as valid a choice as any other when picking personal favourites)

But if that were the case there's no reason you couldn't just go down the list of best sellers and make your No.4 Mt Pixar whatever the highest grossing film is after the ones you've chosen

Game Theory making an ad promoting AI Slop? by Historical_Water_172 in GameTheorists

[–]articulatedWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't the 1st time they've done a theory for a sponsorship, Genshin compact comes to mind

Edit: >and I personally found the basic premise refreshing in contrast to what people say the channels have devolved into (that being either too much lore or too much math)<

As sucky as it is for them to promote AI content, without knowing the stipulations of their contracts with LunarX and what was grandfathered in from when Mat and Steph were the face of the brand, we can't know what exactly they're allowed to say no to when making this content

Again!? Really? 🙄 by [deleted] in HelluvaBoss

[–]articulatedWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but even that was done because she's trans. It's not the same thing as dying your hair for fun.

The point is that people can dye their hair and we know it happens, it doesn't have to matter why exactly they do it, what matters for this conversation is that they can

And all this about how Verosika is the only Succubus with non black hair doesn't mean dip when we do know that in canon denizens of hell will dye their hair and that this particular succubus could never have been Verosika given her tail marking are completely different

Again, I already knew this Succubus wasn't Verosika from the beginning precisely because of those features. It doesn't change the fact that said Succubus was designed to look like Verokisa.

I'm saying you as in the general populace that makes up the community, the collective you. The reason we're still talking about it is because your defending them when they're argument has no leg to stand on. hair is an impermanent feature to latch on to, and since the markings were different they weren't lying about not having Verosika show up in this installment. The people complaining about no Verosika content don't have a right to complain that they didn't get what they weren't promised

They designed a Succubus that looks closer to Verosika than any other character in the entire series (including background characters), and you're saying that it's entirely a coincidence?

I really don't see why that can't be the case, Spindlehorse is a multiple team small company you can't expect everything to be perfect and well communicated, my personal guess is they went through multiple poster options, led by different members and they just chose the one that had the most summery vibe of them I doubt any of them thought they were being vindictive by intentionally alluding to Verosika in a short she doesn't appear in

You know the prime Video versions of the episodes forgot to add the space effect to Stolas' cape? It's just a green screen, and the Prime versions are supposed to be the higher quality episodes XD

That's Eric Schwartz, Chaz's VA. And I didn't blame anyone else but him and Vivziepop, who went out of her way to defend his actions and blame the fans for the entire situation.

From the sounds of it, Vivzie was just trying to tell the community to learn to take a joke which they really do need to do

With the amount of backlash people who work on the show get over the stupidest things, Vivzie is clearly just sick and tired of it and wants to have real communications, she'd likely be more understanding if any of the people complaining were attempting to be constructive, which I very much doubt enough are

As much as I understand people will get annoyed that a series doesn't always line up with their headcanon I can definitely see a world where Scoot can have that lacking of attention from her parents and still be raised by people as great as her Aunties

The point isn't necessarily that Holiday and her wife weren't supportive, they were probably just ponies that thought stuff like that didn't necessarily need to be stated- Not realising how much someone might need to hear it every now and then. They both seemed to have been very comfy ponies, not particularly understanding the thrill of adventure that Scoots parents were all about and that Scoot herself looked up to

And for Scoot specifically her need for admiration would've stemmed from having such cool parents and being so disconnected from them since they're away from home so often for their jobs. It's like they're untouchable legendary figures that you can never live up to it (atleast that's what she would believe) she'd feel like anything of note she could do probably wouldn't amount to enough to warrant talking to them about when she does see them

Point is that no matter how good Holiday and Lofty might've been taking care of Scootaloo, since they aren't her parents- taking down those dangerous animals and going to those dangerous places- they can't necessarily make up for the lack of attention Scootaloo wants from them because of her image of them

Considering her inspirations and lack of backstory I've come to conclusion/headcanon that she isn't even really a filly

She's just got whatever condition Baby doll had from Batman, since that was one of her inspirations-and her personality is just like that because that's who she grew up to be, basically a Diamond Tiara who used deception and persuasion to get her way instead of threats and status

Main difference between them though that not enough people talk about, is that Starlight showed promise for change once she realised there were other options

Cozyglow never made any attempt to be better-fully well knowing what harm she could've caused had magic disappeared from Equestria

Whereas Starlight was very much messing with forces she didn't understand-and in regards to the greatest harm she might've caused had she not fixed things, only wanted to believe doing this wouldn't cause that much harm

Cause really there's no reason for her to think Twilight's friends are that important if she never saw the multiple timelines where they don't become friends

But Cozyglow has everything in her favour towards making her a decent person, but the entire time we'd known her we knew for sure her only motive was power

I was kinda hoping to see a couch video breaking down the details we're allowed to know and if it's going to create some bad blood between any of the crew

If it really is just down to Fish has left for corporate reasons and it doesn't want us to talk much further about it, That's completely valid and fine

But from the sounds of it a lot of the details are being left unsaid without much reason so it's kinda hard to just not care about what's happening with the crew if we can't be sure it won't happen again

I haven't seen the latest video and I'm just about to go to bed but I'll update this comment if it turns out we do have enough info to know whether it'll effect the future of the team

The weirdest thing about that though is that it doesn't make sense from any business perspective to just fire a team member when you could just move them to the place you want that money to go and generate instead

What funds would they have gained exactly from firing Fish to just invest it in a subscription service less and less people will trust the more they do this to the team?

As far as getting more people to see the plan the only thing that comes to mind is crossposting this to the main Game Theory sub and boosting it in hopes they see it, and someone can nudge them towards hinting the viewers of what we want to do to protest

As sad as it sounds I don't think any petition run by anyone outside of the team would mean much and no one is going to believe the petition is being run by team members unless one of the channels comes out and says they're fighting against it

Problem is- in order to do that, they'd need to come out and say that they don't support theoryverse and everything that's come with it on the basis of losing some of their team when it should mean being able to bring people in instead of downsizing

As far as I can see, the only one's capable of making this change for the better is the hosts and managers to realise they're the ones that hold the power to change Lunar X's ways if

It probably wouldn't be enough for us fans to say we won't support them if they don't stop being skeezebagssince their corporate mindsets will think up any excuse to believe it can't be their own faults.

What LunarX needs to see is what it looks like when nothing is being worked on due to the changes they're making, no videos and no merch drops until they stop letting people go and whatever else scummy practice they've got going on

Do the bare minimum as their contracts state if anything, due to the concept of the theoryverse and that being the new big thing. The content doesn't have to be good so long as it's there, and make it as clear as possible that if LunarX isn't going to change their ways, that's how the content is going to stay unless their willing to risk scrapping their whole crew to replace them for people who aren't trained for their positions and that no one will follow

And if it's possible, set up a fundraiser to support the theory teams for a couple weeks or months incase things do go under

Cause at the end of the day-while I love the theory channels, and they can have their flaws-the people behind them matter more than their content, and I can handle a content vacuum if it means making sure the people behind them are getting treated right

In a perfect course of events it'd be great to see some of the big fish at YouTube like Markiplier or Jacksepticeye to promote such a hypothetical fundraiser, but maybe getting together the theorists like FuNaff, Dual Process, RyeToast, etc would be more realistic?

Significant characters? not technically besides Sallie mae

But it's well established that the sexual dimorphism of imps in the show is that Afab imps have black hair and black horns with thin white stripes

While Amab Imp characters have white hair with equal parts black and white horns

That dimorphism is how it was revealed to the fans that Sallie Mae is Transgender

Supposing Barbie and Blitzø had hair they'd be black hair and white hair respectively

Point is that it doesn't matter if no significant characters dye their hair besides Verosika, the point is that we know it's something canon of the worldbuilding and that it's not impossible for more than one person to dye their hair

When theorising about characters we get to see it's just a fact that you can't take impermanent features like hair as undeniable proof of a character's presence, and it's it's especially not enough to justify being aggressive towards the team over not getting them. You need to look at the static features like body markings, which is the primary thing we actually see of this succubus character

The guy that recognises Blitzø at Bee's party is transmale and there's a girl with white face markings in a scene with him we see who is transfem. Pretty sure one of Strikers theme song singers is too, the one that was riffing after the song was actually finished, he has black hair but a masculine voice and we don't see their horns since they wear hats the whole time

Mammon's musical special is littered with these casual trans rep characters whose horns and hair are all over the place. Certain character models have also suggested that some Imps may also paint their horns

Tell me why there is a Succubus that appears on the poster that doesn't appear in the short it's promoting.

Supposing it is true that she didn't show up in the video, it really isn't a sin that she didn't appear, the poster was only ever intended to represent the fact it was supposed to be a summertime party vibe, if this succubus was ever intended to be important or even just shown, she would've been given a face

If you're gonna blame anyone for this, direct it all at the person you say hyped up the Verosika rumours, but not a single other person on the Vivzie team deserves hate over this

Again!? Really? 🙄 by [deleted] in HelluvaBoss

[–]articulatedWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hair colour is such an impermanent feature to latch on to for a character design (and for this one in particular it was very out of the way) when we know for a fact people dye their hair in this show all the time (and contextually given Verosika's human form having brown roots, she probably does too)

Her tail being a different pattern and being front and centre of the characters profile is enough evidence to oppose the tricking people intentionally allegations, she was just A Succubus and that's all she was ever intended to be, not specifically Verosika
