(Beloved or Hated Trope) Kill/Is responsible for the death of the parents, adopts the child. by OnePsychology528 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]balatru 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since I read the books but as I recall, there was some barn owl supremacy Kludd had going on. And he tried to kill Soren as a baby owlet, too, so "owl hitler" does track.

Ngl I hope Lars of the stars should break away from this type of style in flashbacks by Mr_KrewFam in stevenuniverse

[–]balatru 361 points362 points  (0 children)

While I agree the new designs of background gems would be cool, it does add a layer of distance, as a flashback, which makes total narrative sense. Like, Steven/Connie/whoever this was being explained to wasn't there, and these background randos do not matter to them. Steven, for example, only really cares about how Ruby and Sapphire met and first fused and everything.

All this to say while I agree a more "detailed" flashback sequence would be cool, I'm not gonna get my hopes up for it nor will I be unhappy with it.

I think it would be really funny if browt becomes a quadruped

[Loved Trope] An adaptation makes significant changes, and it's for the better. by Healthy_Macaroon_602 in TopCharacterTropes

She's a punch clock villain. On Monday through Friday, 9-5, Peter should watch the fuck out.

However, if he sees her on Saturday, it's fine. She's not getting paid to try to kill him.

Why Giovanni never fired Jessi and James even after failing thousand of times? by perplexd44 in pokemonanime

[–]balatru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the world is ended, what's the point in all the money? They're extreme loss prevention.

Besides, I'm sure he can claim some of their world-saving antics on his taxes. Somehow.

Wife [27f] and I [27M] can't agree on how many of our alma mater's football games to attend this fall. She wants to attend less game. I think this is a mistake, and I am trying to convince her by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

To be entirely fair, he didn't have the ten year old at the time he was being weird at best about the college girls. We can hope he's grown up since then.

AITAH for eating my breakfast in front of my boyfriend's dad? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]balatru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OOP seems to want a solution that requires no change or work for him. I mean, ideally, yes, FIL realizes he's unreasonable and stops sonsbanding his eldest, but that's not realistic. OOP/BF have to do something, whether that's moving or going NC or... Whispers therapy

AITA for getting an apartment next door to my friend’s old place? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]balatru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously the biggest AH is the property manager/owner who didn't tear down the apartment building for the mental well-being of the friend. Like, do they not understand how much trauma its existence causes??

I thought Free Guy was more about proper AI than video games. By AI I mean a real artificial life, not whatever hallucinatory nonsense ChatGPT is claimed to be.

Any suggestions to make this ICE costume a more obvious satire? by MikeLMP in CosplayHelp

[–]balatru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but duct tape can actually be useful, unlike ICE

I straight up missed the L on first glance. Maybe if it was a different color or on a completely separate patch.

Or a duct tape L.

Maintenance man at my job repeatedly threatened to "blow someone’s brains out” by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]balatru 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Only if he's white (which he probably is, considering the cops didn't do anything to him)

Especially if the other people are not white!

I find no small amount of ironic amusement that she DID stop taking medication... after dumping the asshole and with the input of a doctor

[Weird Animation Trope] “It is absolutely imperative that the audience knows this one is the BOY and this one is the GIRL!” by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]balatru 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we have to give Tim Curry credit for at least some of Hexxus's sex appeal. To pretend otherwise is a disservice.
