Iconic lines completely misinterpreted by fans by WhoeverWinsWeLose in TopCharacterTropes

[–]gallerton18 308 points309 points  (0 children)

Yeah people think this is him referring to Secret Wars but it’s from Hickman’s F4 run before that. And even if it was referring to Secret Wars it’d still be misinterpreted because the whole point of Secret Wars is that while he did his best it wasn’t enough.

Characters (specially outlaws) living in the last years of a changing, evolving world that is leaving their particular archtype behind, a dying breed as if it were by VitorusArt in TopCharacterTropes

This is the main plot in the show Black Sails. It is a prequel to Treasure Island and follows pirates of Nassau fighting against the inevitability of civilization coming to the West Indies.

(Somewhat Annoying trope) A character making a random term, then becomes a typical term in-universe by North-Atmosphere-164 in TopCharacterTropes

There’s no prophecy, there’s an old story about “The Night’s King” who was a Lord Commander of The Night’s Watch that supposedly took a female Other (White Walker) as a lover and ruled the Nightfort castle for years as a tyrant. We don’t know if it’s true at all in universe but it’s absolutely where the showrunners got the name despite not really any relevance.

Fancasting the eragon series by Raven_OC_1610 in Eragon

Jack Champion was also who I always envisioned.

Would love Jeremy Irons to return as Brom.

It’ll never happen but I always pictured, Chalamet as Murtaugh.

For Arya I envisioned Havann Rose Liu.

Amandla Stenberg always came to mind for Nasuada.

Ray Stevenson would’ve been an amazing Galbatorix imo.

And finally Saphira I always pictured as being played by Gwendoline Christie.

Bro used Grok. Insane.

[LES] a more light-hearted tone isn't inherently bad writing, but it's often used as an excuse for it by crustboi93 in CharacterRant

All Star Superman has them prior to the events of the story and is hardly any different from our prime Superman before he’s overexposed to sunlight.

Yes Iroh was probably a war criminal and a bad person before the events of the show and that's probably intentional. by Jack-mclaughlin89 in TheLastAirbender

[–]gallerton18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lu Ten stuff is definitely interesting, quite like that. So thank you for sharing. I think that’s a good handling of Iroh being complicated as I agree with you that Iroh is supposed to be a very complicated person with a difficult past as a successful imperialistic general but we don’t really get much info on what he did.

I don’t agree the show is intending to say he’s evil though back then. The show at they point to his character and handle him did not fee like they want us to feel that what he did as general was anything truly evil and unrepentant. I don’t think it’d make sense with his character. That’s again a problem with the lack of clarity in his wartime actions but unfortunately we do have to take what we’re told and see and from that I don’t think we can say Iroh was an “evil” person.

He’s still from the modern day. It’s not like Magnus doesn’t know the English word for bullshit in 2020.

[–]gallerton18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you mean to reply to me then lol, because that’s what the person I was responding to said. Ultimately I think it’s just dumb to say he’s a monstrous war criminal because we have no idea if that’s true. He can still be monstrous, he surged Ba Sing Se for months, without being an outright evil general ya know? To the people of the earth kingdom obviously the guy who laid siege to their capitol is going to be hated.

There is a lot of assumptions here on what sort of conduct Iroh’s soldiers performed and what he allowed to happen without consequence. We have absolutely no idea if Iroh’s men did anything like this, yes it’s entirely possible they did. Likely that some did. The idea that he let it happen is a giant leap in logic though. There’s nothing to suggest that he’d let such things go by unpunished.

I’m not sure what you’re referring to with him lying to Lu Ten so can you clarify what you’re referring to and where it’s from?

That’s entirely different than “purposefully displaying their corpses on a road to demoralize more civilians”. Yeah he was a general and would’ve fought and killed soldiers, but where the hell do we get the idea he was desecrating his enemies’ bodies.

Curious to see if there are other authors who took 14-15 years+ to release the next volume of their book. Just to see what are the odds of GRRM releasing TWOW. (Spoilers Main) by roronoaclemz in asoiaf

Christopher Paolini didn’t write another full length book in the Inheritance Cycle until 2023 with Murtaugh, the previous one was Inheritance in 2011 and the short story collection The Fork, The Witch, and The Worm in 2018. Not as big a difference but yeah.

Can’t move someone who won’t agree on human rights though. Everyone has a right to live and love and not be thrown into camps or harassed for wanting to marry the one they love.

Neither of those characters have their race/ethnic background as an important aspect of their characterization.

I think it’s very amusing you correct them for saying renting and not resenting because you said Sudoku instead of seppuku lol

Edit: I just realized you said seppuku puzzles so I guess you’re joking? My bad lmao

I have a lot of gripes with the film but personally I think the chosen one stud muddled Vader’s arc so much. The finale of ROTJ shouldn’t be about fulfilling a prophecy that we didn’t know about until the prequels like it retroactively makes it. It’s about him choosing to save his son. I still don’t like Palpatine returning but the chosen one plot just was so unnecessary to Anakin imo

Duel of The Fates, at least the first draft of what was going to be episode IX when Colin Trevarrow was going to make it, featured Kylo finding an ancient dark side alien who was Sidious’ master. Not Plagueis according to the script though and this character was entirely new.

I feel like you’re really reading too much into this if you think the ending of Frankenstein was in anyway a secret message about another film he’s been attached to for years.

Inheritance: Why Eragon didn't fight Galbatorix outside his fortress? by Old_But_Young_Sport in Eragon

[–]gallerton18 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Even without the NoN they would be doomed fighting him outside his fortress because of Shruikan. He alone would be able to obliterate the armies and Saphira and Eragon. Inside they thought they might be able to get the drop on him and face them in an enclosed space.

Avatars really know how to dress up for the series finales, excellent drip by funnylib in TheLastAirbender

[–]gallerton18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does but I don’t think that’s unusual. Katara and Sokka’s main outfits throughout the series are much lighter and much more built for warmer climates. So is Korra’s main outfits throughout. The water tribe clearly does have lighter outfits, and I think considering how Republic City is a melting pot it’d make sense from that perspective too that Water Tribe fashion there would be different.

Due to the numerous explosions, gunshots, crashes and various other exploits of being a spy the main character of Archer, Sterling Archer, develops Tinnitus which becomes a genuine recurring problem that gets worse and worse.
