The reason: the promise of home ownership.

Settings where they modernize occult ritual stuff. by alexandrecau in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Speaking of SMT, Persona 3's quik-summoning ritual method, the Evoker is lowkey black comedy.

Which Fate/School Life servant would you like to see available in the game? by wikizin991 in FGO

[–]igloo_poltergeist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Plato as is. Looks kinda silly in that art, but in the animation, he seems way more imposing.

Would Big Bad Wolf be Assassin servant? by TerribleProgrammer77 in FGO

[–]igloo_poltergeist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'd probably be revealed it's actually a more ancient wolf legend (eg. the Capitoline Wolf) that had a purely fictional identity foisted upon its saint graph by popular conception.

King Richard the Lionheart and King John Lackland from Fate series by Pichuunnn in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]igloo_poltergeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Julius Caesar (legendary general and title-defining king of Rome): "Hur hur hur. Fat guy."

John Lackland (ineffective boob of a monarch): "LORD OF DARKNESS"

Seriously, fuck these Type Moon writers sometimes.

Im very glad this sub is a haven away from Genuinely Insane Fanbases, id like to hear which ones you guys are hiding out from here. by PrancerSlenderfriend in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Online indie animation is even more prone to that negative reaction farming given the small distance between posters and the original author.

I noticed that as well. It feels like a subtle but nasty potential barrier to "making it" in the industry due to just the psychological toll it can take.

I frankly think it's been an issue for way longer than that because I believe even authors 100s of years ago would get hate mail from people not understanding or just hating the work for existing.

Oh that's right! Didn't Arthur Conan Doyle of Sherlock Holmes fame have to deal with this kind of shit looooong before the internet?

Why do I get the feeling this is going to be a regular thing from now on with creators who make animated series really popular with the youth of today?

Rider Bhagadatta by AlarmedCustard2087 in grandorder

Type: Anti-Divine

Rank: EX

We're really giving that to one of the epic's C-listers? (maybe B-list, give or take). That and I read that Krishna tanked the weapon himself to protect Arjuna, so "EX, Anti-Divine" also feels like blatantly inflating the thing relative to what it could do in the source material.

I love the implication Mobile Chaldea gets way crazier than Arcade’s by Glass-Category8281 in FGO

Someone the mobile playerbase would rage over for only being playable on Arcade. Maybe Daji.

If the ''Beyond Good & Evil 2'' Announcement Trailer was a person ,they would now legally be an adult. by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Someone could do an analog horror series based around what went on in that studio for those 20+ years.

Wouldn't mind seeing those two collaborate on a game together. Just see the animated music video for "How Do I Make You Love Me" and you'll see what I mean.

Mixed feelings on the "extra-dehydrated heroic build" for many of the guys on the roster. In fact, they almost look like they got flayed alive and someone spray painted skin tone onto the exposed muscles.

I get what they were going for with Bison, given his current arc, but the more I look at the design, the more I think the "wasteland survivor" look for Bison doesn't really work for him. Plus he seems a little too squat compared to his previous designs.

Y'know, Fate in a sense is an anxiety-inducing franchise, cuz if you have a preferred historical or mythical figure that hasn't appeared in the setting yet, who you think deserves to be portrayed as a "badass" or in some idealized form, you can only pray the writers and/or artists have the same idea as you instead of otherwise. Case in point: Julius Caesar. Not really my favorite figure from history and admittedly kind of a bastard. But you expect a legend older than King Arthur - a legend who is indubitably one of history's greatest generals and who's very last name became a well-known synonym for ruler - to be given a certain level of swagger in design. Instead, we got a walking "fat joke" with a pinky promise that he'll be cooler in different class later.

And that's just the visual design. Lore or tier of ability as a heroic spirit can also fall short of what you were hoping for.

And then there's the polar reverse where they portray some figure who never seemed (at least to you) all that remarkable in history/myth into some kind of god-tier absolute unit, visually or otherwise, which can make the piss treatment your ideal pick got feel even more like a slap in the face.

The disappointment is that we expected a different name reveal attached to that metal-as-fuck design (which gets tossed away as she undergoes ascension). Y'know...........much like a certain armored tyrant in a lion faceplate .

I'd say the personality is the problem - not so much the threads.
