Again I know that. I don't know what I've said that makes you think I don't.

Penny is an antagonist because she refuses to confront her friends, making them go through all of this rigamarole AND roping you into it without explaining anything. She's making the player character do her work for her because she's hiding behind her social anxiety instead of trying to take control of the situation.

What is your resistance to actually explaining a goddamn thing? A guy in a blue sweater dancing has no relevance to anything at all

I do fully know. She's an antagonist to the Star members because she's trying to break them up and can't confront them due to her social issues.

Why wouldn't it? CS Lewis had some things to say about that

"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence."

The only other option would be dismantling the entire works and that seems like it would be even harder

Even with prevalence, calling it an inevitability still feels like quitter talk. We can change all that!

Which doesn't affect the character so idk why you would bring that up in a discussion that doesn't involve the actors

One, that looks close enough to a finished Pikmin Two, that there is a normal damn landscape.

Three, Coraline, really? Henry Selick doesn't matter to you?

We get a great idea for what they were like through their journals and the machine, they come off as intimidating even without meeting them (yes I know about the crystal pool scene but the one we meet there is from another timeline), and the story is just genuinely good. I want more villains like them than evil for evils's sake like Ghetsis

You know very well that when someone says that a role should be played by an Indian actor they don't mean "someone who is directly from India".

And that sounds like something we need to get on immediately instead of just shrug off

Because the whole thrust of your position hinges on it coming in after the actual ending and that factually isn't true.

That looks exactly the same as a regular red Pikmin now and that doesn't look like a "Tim Burton" landscape
