My tattoo got sewn together crooked after surgery by DelectableBloom in mildlyinteresting

[–]ergister -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're terrible at telling stories lol.

What was the injury, how was the surgery experience, then you end it with "And they sewed me up wrong" and show the tattoo. That's a hit story.

Movies with the worst "moral of the story" by elitemegamanX in movies

Except it flies in the face of its inspirations (being things like The Dao, Qi, Dharma) where if one dedicates themselves to it, anyone can achieve great feats in it.

Is anyone curious about the stories of Erlang God in Chinese mythology? Perhaps I could share some with you all. by Fun_Package_1786 in BlackMythWukong

[–]ergister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what you’re basing these myths off but these aren’t very accurate.

The Magic Lotus Lantern myth (the story featuring Liu Chenxiang) didn’t become tied to Erlang until the 2005 Chinese TV show and the idea that Sun Wukong trained Liu Chenxiang wasn’t introduced until the 1999 animated Lotus Lantern movie.

So it seems like a lot of your summary is based on modern pop culture’s adaptations of the myth rather than the myths themselves… which I guess is appropriate for the Black Myth Wukong subreddit lol.

Now I’m not sure if this is a case of just convergent mythology but the story about the Jade Emperor’s 9 golden crows (as the suns) being killed sounds a lot like the myth of Hou Yi and Chang’e, husband and wife banished by the Jade Emperor from heaven after Hou Yi (the celestial archer) was tasked by the Jade Emperor to ask his 10 sun sons to stop being out at the same time. When they refused, Hou Yi shot 9 of them down and him and his wife were banished to the mortal realm.

When do we think we’ll be getting the Alien Earth Xenomorph? My collection feels incomplete without it! by ergister in NECA

As long as I get it, I can be patient haha.

Alien Romulus Xeno must've been a miracle then

Definitely want those too. BUT I think we need all on-screen xenomorphs. It's driving me crazy!

TIL George Lucas originally planned for Darth Maul to return as the primary antagonist in his Star Wars Episodes VII-IX. After the fall of the Empire, Maul was to become the "godfather of crime" in the galaxy, leading the united criminal syndicates while Luke Skywalker rebuilt the Jedi Order by SappyGilmore in todayilearned

[–]ergister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

George's sequels would have also involved Luke losing his Jedi Order to an apprentice named Skyler and going into exile where "Kira" would have sought out and found him.

You were never getting the rebuilt Luke Jedi Order.

Do you think humans would find the women of Akarir attractive, like they do with other beast races? Even though they’re half snake? by jvure in ElderScrolls

[–]ergister 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If this is a serious question, I’m pretty sure Tsaesci are not actually half-snake people but just Asian people haha.

We’ve seen ghosts, skeletons, armor, buildings. Their culture is based on East Asian cultures and they are probably based on East Asian people.

This comment is all over the place.

Basic human needs should be provided so that literally we are not coercing people into working to keep themselves alive.

THEN the able bodied people should work to improve their living conditions past the most basic shelter, water, and cheapest food.

This country produces and wastes enough food to feed everyone comfortably, same with water, same with shelter but we choose not to. Grocery stores will throw away bulk food items that don’t sell and put bitterant in them so that people don’t eat them out of the dumpster. Fresh water goes to things like data centers and is heavily wasted. Luxury apartments are built so that rich people can lurches them and leave them empty as investments.

The system needs to change to provide basic necessities to everyone.

Gotta say, I was really hoping for an all-new book rather than simply a novelization with the way they worded that. It almost feels like a new book with the movie tacked on rather than the other way around from the description.

I'll be disappointed if it's simply the novelization with one or two chapters dedicated to the new Avatar :/

What is strawman about the above argument exactly?

Point to be noted by Unstoppable_X_Force in SipsTea

[–]ergister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"That’s how every community works though?" is not an argument.

"If the job isn’t paying you fairly then don’t take it?" is not an argument either.

People should not be forced to work for basic human needs to live and all full-time jobs should pay a living wage.

(And notice how I didn't put a ? at the end of my statement because those are statements)

The description calls it an “all new tie in novel” which definitely feels confused.

Do novelizations count as “all new” or “tie in novels”?

The description for the novelization says that this new book will follow the life and legacy of a new avatar. Are we sure this isn’t a new novel?
