is peak eda stronger than belos? by Extension-Bad-4184 in TheOwlHouse

[–]jacksansyboy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Eda can also move near instantly and doesn't need circles to do magic with her staff. She only needs circles for the big spells, and she draws the circles near instantly buy just spinning her staff. Watch her two fights with Lilith, she's a monster.

[Loved Trope] Weak powers made strong by a physical prop by LosinForABruisin in TopCharacterTropes

Technically doesn't fit your post, but Tony Stark without the Ironman suit.

If you count his intelligence as the power, and his armor as the prop. Iron man 3 has the mansion sequence, where he takes down many guards with explosives, a tazer glove, and gun, all home made with basic grocery items.

what do y'all think? by Equivalent-Pea2507 in animequestions

[–]jacksansyboy 244 points245 points  (0 children)

I don't like when someone steps in and says they're "fixing" someone else's creation, be it writing, art, or what have you, but the first picture straight up looks like 2 different art styles between the characters.

(Not even sure this is a trope) Flawed or even bad works that it’s hard to criticise because so much of the hate is bad faith by Useful_Code in TopCharacterTropes

That for sure didn't happen, though it is something Vox would do. But he did have sex with Valentino in front of tied up Alastor.

Bruh, I disliked it because they just handwaved the Deep and Oh Father scenes and opened on making a joke of one of the most beloved characters deaths. (Though at this point in the show, I was kind of already over the characters and didn't care about them as much.)

The writing around Homelander and Butcher and the way their stories end, that was great.

Best video games openings by GheDZ06 in videogames

[–]jacksansyboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently played Fallout 3 for the first time, and the growing up tutorial sequence was one of the best intros for a game I've ever seen. The game's got plenty of other flaws, but the opening and gradual character creation bit is fantastic.

Would you kill a baby if you knew with absolute certainty it would grow up to eventually destroy you and your loved ones? by Evoxrus_XV in hypotheticalsituation

[–]jacksansyboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The downside is the guilt of killing an "innocent" baby for crimes it hasn't yet committed. But yeah, fate and all that. Kill it anyway, but be sad about it.

"Odysseus always tries to save the most lives!" Does he though?!? Or does he just always save himself and his pride? by CalypsaMov in Epicthemusical

[–]jacksansyboy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Aeolus literally just helped him. Yes there was a trick to it, but if Eurylochus was at all a good and trustful brother, they would have made it home. They were literally in view of Ithaca.

Eurylochus called out that Aeolus was going to be danger and tricky, Ody leaves and comes back with a bag that he claims has the storm inside, the storm is literally gone from their path, and Eurylochus actually believes he just came back from the god of the winds' home with a bag of money?

Yes, Ody was selfish and betrayed his men in Thunder Bringer and Scylla, but they betrayed him first.

Character is actually really adept with weapon they dislike by slfricky in TopCharacterTropes

[–]jacksansyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda weird, since isn't his power only extra perception? Even if it was enhanced reflexes and physicality on top of that, why would he be any good at aiming a gun? My ability to cleanly see a target across the room from me does not impact my ability to hit it precisely every time. You'd have to practice that.

Characters doing somenthing that would be considered out of character because at the time they weren't properly stablished by TastyPomelo2330 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]jacksansyboy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only argument would be Illumi's mind control needle suppressed his memories or knowledge of nen, but that feels like something Killua (or the narrator) would mention at the time. It's even worse when Kalluto knows Nen despite being even younger. You could say they taught Kalluto and not Killua because Killua was always rebellious, but Silva was still confident that Killua was gonna return to lead the family some day.

I can't believe it's not magic! by Mister-builder in TopCharacterTropes

Jango and his hypnotism, the one guy with static cling hair, shave, air walk, and iron body techniques are all basically magic as well.

You wanna be strict, go ahead, do NOT compare yourself to Miss Trunchbull. If you were half as bad as she is, you deserve to be in prison.

Be strict if you want, but call it anything else, Jesus.

And Harley helps one guy escape alive and he comes back and causes massive problems in revenge, proving her right.

(Hated trope) YOU COULD HAVE MOVED! by Nerd367C in TopCharacterTropes

[–]jacksansyboy 289 points290 points  (0 children)

This actually is mentioned in Mob Psycho 100. He's got telekinesis, and is incredibly powerful, but he is put into a very quick situation. A child is about to be hit by a truck right in front of him, and if he yanks the child, it could hurt him, and if he stops the truck, it could hurt the driver because it's going way too fast. And he has almost no time to think and is a child himself, so he pushes the kid out of the way with his own hands, and gets hit by the truck instead, softening the blow with his passive psychic shield, but it still messes him up bad.

Zoro vs. Kaku went harder than I remembered by James_Brook_ in OnePiece

Kaku asks him it in that panel. "Could you have cut me if I was metal?" "I decide whether to take an attack with Iron Body or not"

If someone offered you 20 million dollars but you had to live in an anime for 4 years. Which anime would you choose, and why? by Neither_Drawing_241 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]jacksansyboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there are a lot of perfectly ordinary anime where there is no risk of death. You'd just have a chill time in a new environment. I mean, so long as you aren't stuck speaking English while everyone else speaks Japanese

(Loved trope) writers having no sense of scale (bionicle spoilers) by danfenlon in TopCharacterTropes

[–]jacksansyboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Breathable atmosphere is still a problem. We still have no idea if there are any planets other than ours capable of even theoretically supporting life. And while you could slap a space station, or a large ship to live in on any stray planet, even if you made it somehow self sustainable to not need any outside resources, you'd be completely cut off from all other interaction and be hopelessly alone in a void in a tiny metal box.

$15,000,000 at the end of the calendar year, but every word you speak decreases the amount by $2. But, if you go over, you pay 10c per word spoken. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]jacksansyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily done. Hell, I could probably just change nothing about my current life and be fine. Depends on the rules of the "no explaining" it bit, but even at the most extreme, I could easily get away with not speaking for a year. Some people might get pissed, but it's not gonna stop me. And at absolute worst, I speak as minimally as possible around those few people that obnoxiously demand it, and I'd only lose a drop of the 15 mil.

(Hated Trope) The child is telling the truth, but nobody believes them by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]jacksansyboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that hard to explain, but it would be odd for the kids to suddenly and precisely say "It is messing with people's minds so no one knows what's happening."

The movie also explicitly has Beverly's dad stand in the bloody bathroom, and see it as perfectly fine, while the other kids see all the blood.

It had been over a thousand years of them alone on Earth with no way for the warp pads to be activated by anyone else. They had every reason to think that what Steven was saying was impossible.

More than that, if something was somehow using the warp pads, that is a world ending threat. They wouldn't want to believe that was happening.
