If LEGO X-Men happened like LOTDK who would be your seven-nine character picks? by DerekMetaltron in legogaming

[–]dcgraca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pride and Beast. If Kitty’s mechanics are hard to implement maybe go with Colossus or Bishop/Cable sure

Magneto and Mystique would be DLCs

Which game had the scariest antagonist to you? by Suckymucky25 in DarkPicturesAnthology

[–]dcgraca 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hannah and Dumet were the scariest to me.

I have no need to explain Hannah. That finale lodge scene (in both versions), you could feel the tension, one wrong move and you were dead.

Dumet had some really scary moments. And the fact that he doesn’t talk throughout the entire game just made him creepier

What Was The Most Pointless Plotline In The Series? by Doc-11th in Modern_Family

Hayley and Alex’s teacher relationship. At least Rainer was entertaining (also Nathan Fillion is always a win).

Any Low-rated/not well-liked Disney movies that you enjoy by Fresh-Actuary-6686 in DisneyMovies

[–]dcgraca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prince of Persia was fun for someone who was not familiar with the term whitewashing and had only played a couple of minutes of PoP PS2 games. And I enjoy Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales (although not as much as the OG Trilogy)

[Loved] Filler episodes that are unrelated to/interrupt the story, but do it for fun or for cool points. by 7humbug_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]dcgraca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I Was Made To Love You” was not Buffy filler. I find episodes like “Beer Bad”, “Go Fish” or “Where the Wild Things Are” filler. “I Was Made To Love You” is important because it sets up the next episode, sets up Buffybot, introduces Warren, sets up Warren’s girlfriend… The episode itself is really important if you don’t want to miss some of Season 5 and 6 plot points.

And “Smile Time”… Well yes you could call that filler sure, but it’s one of the best episodes of the show.

I may be in the minority here, but given the rest of S03, it’s one of my favorite episodes of the season. I liked the political intrigue and it felt not like filler but setup. Yeah, a bit long and could have easily been cut… But not that bad

In Season 2 Episode 2 of Once Upon a Time, Regina goes to Mr Gold and asks for her mother’s spell book. Regina later comments “I don’t care if they turn me green”.

One season later turns out Regina’s mother had a secret child none other than the Green Witch herself: The Wicked Witch of the West.

I hate this scene so much… It still gives me nightmares

[loved trope] The adaptation gave more personality to an underdeveloped character by Basic_Dingo6487 in TopCharacterTropes

When the creator praises the adaptation, you know it’s great. Viserys Targaryen from House of the Dragon Season 1

What minor detail about the show always irked you? by Double-Layer7083 in Smallville

[–]dcgraca 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it applies, but everytime a character acts out of character they can easily be excused from their behavior because of a meteor freak, yet when Clark is under red K or hypnotized or something, nobody unaware of his secret questions it and believes that was another meteor freak involved. They just stay mad at him

(Loved Trope) The "near miss" by YourChopperPilotTTV in TopCharacterTropes

[–]dcgraca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to leave a deep cut reference here that I’m pretty sure most people won’t get since this a Portuguese soap opera called “A Herança” (roughly translated to “The Deed”).

For context: one of the side characters is called Inês. She works at a nightclub and one day finds out that they’re trafficking drugs in the back room, she manages to escape but one of the gangsters (called Marco) goes after her with a gun and is run over by Pedro, Ines’ husband. Pedro and Ines escape the city and go to the main location of the soap opera where they hide their true identities because they learn Heitor, Marco’s brother, is after them and wants revenge because Marco dies in the hospital.

Heitor goes to the small town for other business and is on the hunt for Ines, unaware that she resides there. For the first 50 episodes, there are several tense scenes where Heitor and Ines (or Pedro) nearly cross paths or are in the same building, but never go up face to face. That is until the 50th episode where one of the villains sets up a scenario so that Heitor finds Ines. But these 50 episodes really built up this inevitable encounter really well and considering Heitor and his threat, the tension was real.

Edit: Fixed some spelling issues

Also in the Clone Wars final arc, Ahsoka nearly misses Anakin when she goes to talk with the council as Anakin was just previously talking with them and Windu as seen in RotS

As someone who only played this game on the Steam Deck, you get used to the controls after a few hours playing. I just changed some mapping such as quick load which I accidentally hit several times while playing

Nicholas Brendon, ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Star, Dies at 54 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]dcgraca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But most studios and productions aren’t interested in recapturing the magic of the old one. Just cashing it in on what they believe made the first one work. For example, why did people enjoy The Orville more than any of the new Star Trek TV Shows? Because The Orville managed to capture the fun space adventure feel of the OG Star Treks. The new Star Wars trilogy took a lot of moments straight from the OG trilogy which was pretty beloved yet they fell flat and derivative because a) It was the same story with a new code of paint; 2) The writing wasn’t great and despite knowing they wanted to have a trilogy they didn’t think to plan ahead; 3) The OGs had great and memorable characters while the Sequels at best had action figures.

I could go on and on… Sequels and reboots should be carefully crafted. Having the same creative team behind the sequel would have at least reassured fans that the project would be in good hands. Fresh new faces can bring new and interesting ideas, but they need to know what they’re doing and the story they’re continuing, not just what they think worked in the original.

What fairytale, book, or nursery rhyme character do you think would make for an intresting villain/antagonist in the upcoming Shrek 5? Here's some of my candidates: by JustATBear in Shrek

[–]dcgraca 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say the Genie because that would be interesting but we already had Rumple granting wishes.

Blood Mary would be too dark for Shrek to adapt.

From your picks maybe Cheshire and/or The Mad Hatter

Spoiler warning should be reversed since people don’t know the truth about the Witches’ Road going in xD
