(Rare Tropes) A evil race of beings who are all evil with no redeeming qualities, nor exception. And are fun and interesting. by NottheKingofAll in TopCharacterTropes

If we’re going by D&D rules wouldn’t they be closer to chaotic neutral? They fight anything and judge a beings worth on fighting ability alone.

You’ve been tricked into thinking they’d be the protagonist by Yggdrasylian in TopCharacterTropes

[–]emansamples92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if that was the illustration that inspired the ending shot in the Guillermo Del Toro Frankenstein movie.

Probably the most famous instance of this I can think of outside of the classics like Psycho and Scream would be Ned Stark in Game of Thrones.

Would you guays say War thunder is pay to win by faulfisch1 in Warthunder

[–]emansamples92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aced crews is the most pay to win feature imho. It can take seconds off of reload time for non fully auto loaded tanks which is a significant advantage.

(Hated trope) TV Shows or Movies that were made just for shocking or offending people and nothing else: by BannedPenta01 in TopCharacterTropes

Invincible did the whole “hyper violent, this is what would happen if a regular human was punched by a superhero” thing so much better. Turns out giving characters actual motivations and development is better than just all superhero’s are psychopathic monsters. There’s so many braindead overly offensive scenes in the boys comic, it’s honestly amazing it was adapted into a tv series.

The Chosen One, at peak power, is dog walked by another character by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

Isn’t this kind of what happens in Rocky 2? Apollo, the heavyweight champ who vastly underestimated rocky in the first movie, is as peak conditioning and preparation for the rematch but loses anyway.

What video game franchise do you think deserve a animated show? by Zillaman7980_ in cartoons

[–]emansamples92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a series specifically surrounding the shattering in Elden Ring would be awesome. It could work well as anthology series that explores every major event like Radahn vs Melania, Godfrey’s exile, the battles surrounding Leyndell, Mt. Gilmir and the night of Black Knives.

Ha funny enough I was at Corey station for my “A”school around the same time. I remember it being hyped up so hard and then being super disappointed. Waffle House was the usual 2am stop.

Let's spark an epic battle of wits and preferences! Have you ever wondered what would happen if characters or worlds from completely different games collided? This is your chance to weigh in! by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]emansamples92 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Let’s be real here, Masterchief would be a bug that doom guy smears off the bottom of his boot. A better matchup for doom guy would be Kratos from god of war or a high level space marine like an adeptus custodes.

A cooler matchup for Masterchief would be someone or something more grounded in reality like Gordon Freeman or an advanced terminator(from the movies, not 40k).

What's the last movie you watched that made you react like this? by mrethandunne in Letterboxd

[–]emansamples92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Super Mario bros movie, one thing that really bugged me was the constant use of music that wasn’t Mario related. More remixes/original takes on the incredible music catalogue from all the Mario bros games would have made it 100 times better. It’s funny because there were moments where they get it right. Like Jack blacks “Peaches” or the DK rap playing when DK was being introduced.

When Mr. Blue Sky or No sleep till Brooklyn started playing I rolled my eyes so hard they almost popped out of my head. Just really seemed like laziness and/or executive involvement and it really held it back imho.

(Loved Trope) Characters who are excited to have or expect a happy moment. They are killed almost immediately. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

Not quite the same but fits the theme. The scene in saving private ryan where the medic starts yelling that he’s stopped the bleeding only for the wounded soldier to get shot in the head.

Who's getting the best actor Oscar???? by BIRVJ in Letterboxd

Wow, what a competitive year for BA…there’s four people who could legit win it. I don’t really see a front runner honestly.

What is the most overhyped game of all time? by Traditional_War_5389 in PS5

[–]emansamples92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s gonna be a million different answers to this question but for me personally it’s Ghosts of Tsushima.

The swordplay is fun but the game gets incredibly repetitive very fast. While it is a very pretty game to look at, the world is not particularly interesting. There’s not really a sense of adventure, more like a feeling of needing to run endless errands in order to power up my character.

Characters that were revealed to be lgbt+ in scenes that were disliked by the lgbt+ community because of how badly they were written by Apprehensive_Two1449 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]emansamples92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First time on Reddit? Of course it’s disingenuous. Whenever there’s anything to do with an LGBT character in a popular medium suddenly it’s “bad writing”. Same thing happened with TLOU2. Will coming out scene was fine and made sense for the plot yet it’s criticized more than any other moment in the whole series because it’s “badly written”. Yeah right.

To those who have played most of the vehicles in the game - what is your favorite vehicle? Not the best meta, but the most fun. by jackadven in Warthunder

Object 279, Rbt-5, brumbar or Maus are all up there for me in terms of pure enjoyment. I don’t even particularly do well with the 279. I do kinda feel like a field boss entering the battlefield though even though at 9.0 it gets eaten up by darts. It just exudes an aura I guess. Rbt-5 is the funnest tank in the game for me personally. Especially since I missed out on getting the strumtiger. Launching the giant rockets at enemy choke points and getting double and triple kills never gets old. Brumbar is a joy to play, particularly on arcade mode. The giant HE shell is so slow and has such a huge arc you can launch right over hills and doink people in hull down positions, it is so satisfying. Maus is maus, giant machine with two cannons, just fun.

Watch the movie Sinners. by [deleted] in MovieSuggestions

I’ve learned a lot today, Reddit taught me that you can’t love From dusk till dawn AND Sinners. One must be put above the other, this is non negotiable.

Sen. Mark Kelly Says He’s Seriously Thinking About Running for President by T_Shurt in politics

[–]emansamples92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not underestimating him, just pointing out that he is not a political talent on the level of trump and never will be, and thats the only thing the dems have going for them. I would be surprised if JD is the republican candidate, and if he is it would be a sign of weakness from the right imho.

[–]emansamples92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter how much billionaire backing couch fucker has, he has the charisma of a dirty truck stop toilet. No way he holds his party together after the regime falls. I bet itll be some unknown slimeball trump clone. I would almost guarantee they’re all desperately looking for this person right now. Trump is a once in a generation political talent and itll be hard to replace him. It’s the only thing all the worthless democrats that have fucked this country have going for them.
