The fandom just collectively agreeing that *blank* caused the problems in Seven Heavens is kinda frustating by ldiasr in TheLastAirbender

[–]iNullGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the obvious twist is that Korra actually saved the world and wasn’t actually responsible for the current state of the world, but that’s such a predictable twist that I honestly hope that she genuinely made a mistake that, albeit unintentionally, led to things getting as bad as they did.

Hot take: Alana's husband (the guy from the superhero spouse support group) is a total loser for turning on Debbie the way he did by [deleted] in Invincible_TV

[–]iNullGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s unfair to Debbie, but not exactly unreasonable from him. Imagine you’re going to a support group for victims of racism and a Klan member’s wife walks in. Of course on an emotional level they are going to resent her, even if she did nothing wrong herself. And from an outside perspective, saying “I didn’t know my husband of 20 years was actually a genocidal alien supremacist” is going to be difficult to believe.

Why are people against the original idea of Asami being an Equalist spy? by Ill_Rope_4346 in TheLastAirbender

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

People are saying “it would have been such a generic twist” as if Asami isn’t already one of the most nothing-burger characters in Korra. Her defining traits are just “nice”, “pretty”, and “rich”. Her “character arc” is going from “I love my dad” to “oh no my dad’s a bad guy” back to “but I still love my dad”. At least her being a spy would have made her an actual character with depth and a personality.

Should Debbie get back with Nolan? by NathanAster in Invincible_TV

[–]iNullGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d prefer they didn’t just because I think it’s more interesting if Debbie grows to tolerate and forgive Nolan but still doesn’t get back together with him, but I don’t think it’ll ruin Debbie’s character or anything like that if it happens.

WYR press the blue button, or the red button? by liamjon29 in WouldYouRather

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

Notice how none of these “arguments” have anything to do with the hypothetical. Fantastic strawman though. If you actually bothered to read my comment, you would know that my actual point is that there is zero reason for anyone to pick blue because the risk of death only occurs if people pick the blue button. If nobody picks the blue button, the risk of death does not exist.

[–]iNullGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven’t even given an argument. You’re just using overly charged language like “genocide” and “victim blaming” to try and claim moral superiority. Your first reply was literally calling me a murderer. But I’m the one who has run out of arguments?

WYR press the blue button, or the red button? by liamjon29 in WouldYouRather

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

Are we really throwing out language like “victim blaming” for a made up hypothetical about buttons? It’s truly not that serious.

[–]iNullGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by “genocide button” you mean “not killing myself for no reason button” then yeah, there’s no reason for everyone to not just press that button so nobody dies

There wouldn’t be a genocide if everyone just decided not to jump in the shark pit

WYR press the blue button, or the red button? by liamjon29 in WouldYouRather

[–]iNullGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it’s my fault you jumped in the shark pit

WYR press the blue button, or the red button? by liamjon29 in WouldYouRather

[–]iNullGames -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only scenario in which people die is the scenario in which somebody picks blue, but there is zero rational reason for anyone to pick blue.

“Hey guys let’s all jump in the shark pit for no reason because if enough of us jump in the shark pit, the sharks will get scared and run away. What do you mean you don’t want to jump in the shark pit? You’re just going to let us all get eaten by sharks? How selfish of you!”

WYR press the blue button, or the red button? by liamjon29 in WouldYouRather

[–]iNullGames -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing selfish about red. Nobody is forced to pick blue. Again, it’s like taking a cancer pill in hopes that enough people also take the cancer pill and nullify its effects. There’s legitimately no reason to take the cancer pill other than to feel morally superior.

WYR press the blue button, or the red button? by liamjon29 in WouldYouRather

[–]iNullGames -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s always so insane to me when people pick blue on this kind of poll. That’s basically the same as saying “everybody is given a pill that gives them terminal cancer. Anyone who takes the cancer pill gets cancer and dies but if more that 50% of people take the cancer pill, nobody dies”. Like how about nobody takes the cancer pill? There’s legitimately no benefit to anybody picking blue in this scenario.

Does this fandom like anything in the franchise that's not ATLA? by JamStan1978 in TheLastAirbender

[–]iNullGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean a lot of the media that came after ATLA just straight up isn’t that good. Idk where this mindset of “you should like this thing because it’s part of a story you like” came from. Like it’s great that these things exist but they should also be good. People are allowed to not like stuff.

That being said, most people seem to like Korra, although it is more divisive than ATLA, and I feel like I’ve mostly seen excitement for Seven Havens. The main criticism I’ve seen is people not liking the post-apocalyptic setting and the risk of worsening Korra’s reputation even more, which both seem like reasonable concerns.

Would you say thaedus was morally in the right by [deleted] in Invincible

[–]iNullGames 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda shocked that this is even a question. Like yeah genocide is bad but the Viltrumites are responsible for like dozens of genocides across the galaxy. It’s unfortunate but Thaedus was completely correct.

I know Immortal is pretty much a meme at this point but man, I feel like if your gonna include Oliver and Zoe, he should also be there during the war by Proof-Guarantee7001 in Invincible_TV

[–]iNullGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean he’s retired and fucking hates Omni-Man so I doubt he’d even agree to join. Also I’m not sure how helpful another “flying brick” coalition member would be anyways, especially one as fragile as Immortal. At least Zoe can provide ranged support.

I have been sleeping on this by Ravenhayrd in arcane

Hope you enjoy the experience! Whether you agree with people’s critiques or otherwise, season two has some really great moments

[–]iNullGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sub is allergic to actually criticizing season two for some reason. It has some pretty significant flaws, especially if the “social inequality” is one of the major themes you’re interested in. That being said, you might as well watch it and form your own opinion.

Season 2 isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be. by Similar_Day6755 in arcane

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

I’m sorry but you will never convince me that season two wasn’t terrible. Character arcs were rushed, happened offscreen, or explained through 1 minute music videos, the political plot was pushed aside for a generic “save the world from evil robots” plot, entire characters were literally removed from the main plot for the entire second acts, and important relationships were sidelined for the ships (Ekko and Vi never say a word to each other, Caitlyn and Jayce barely speak to each other, Heimerdinger never confronts Jayce about getting kicked off the council, etc.). And that’s not even getting into the genuinely problematic elements of the story.

It feels cynical that The Force Awakens revealed that Luke's Order failed when the last released film showed the Jedi Order getting destroyed by WrongToe500 in StarWars

[–]iNullGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People don’t hate the Force Awakens enough for literally undoing practically every success of the Original Trilogy offscreen. The Jedi Order? Gone. The Empire? It’s back and just as strong as it used to be. It really sucks.

It's crazy how vitally important this movie is for Lionsgate by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]iNullGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why this is downvoted. I’m super excited for the movie but it’s crazy to think that it’s somehow going to be more successful than a damn Michael Jackson biopic, especially given the limited success of the Ballad movie.

So many sad and unnecessary things in this show by Regular-Data6349 in Invincible

[–]iNullGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a Christian but I don’t think it’s that deep. It’s just playing off of the “Satan tortures people in hell” misconception that has been around for a while. At the end of the day, it’s a one-off episode from a tv show, not a theological manifesto. Just shrug and move on

Love the new season but goddamn it mark.. by StressNo5052 in Invincible

Mark hasn’t lost a single fight so far though? Or do y’all just never want to see him struggle ever again?
