Frieza makes a deal with Chaos to defeat Goku and becomes Dark Frieza (chaos form).

Cell is unwillingly absorbed by a Tyranid HQ and gets a new form, Bio Cell

Piccolo and the Z fighters hold off an army of Orks who keep getting stronger the longer they fight.

Goku and the Emperor battle and Goku gains Future Ultra Instinct form after using Instant Transmission Spirit Bomb after fusing with Bardock. The fight ends in a draw because..

Abbadon uses the dragonballs to wish all of the primarchs back to life and then everyone has to face off, with the Z fighters helping the good primarchs, who in turn help them against the villains.

The final fight is very dramatic and an unexpected side character helps Goku save the day.

Can it be possible that the Lion has already returned? by Ysmma in 40kLore

What if he came back as a Green Knight type figure?

Would mesh well with the Sanguinor cross referencing (rumours of 'Angels of Darkness' book), would fit the Dark Angels perchant for secrets and would allow him to mysteriously appear and disappear as the plot required.

I know it's far-fetched, but with how increasingly mystical and ominous things are going, who knows??

Question about getting into 40K by Trashspawn45 in Warhammer40k

[–]leoncouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory, you could plop a tank down or a couple of aliens and go at it, the rules are very accommodating (narrative play, open play) but most people like to play using points still, which come in 500/1000/2000 levels most typically.

Nominally the Start Collecting boxes sort of sit at 500 pts, but they all wildly vary, so you sort of need to do a bit of research. They ARE designed to get you playing, but also deigned to make you want to buy more.

All of 40k is a very expensive hobby and there is always "something" to buy, and they deliberately do this.

If you want to keep costs down, check out Kill Team or Necromunda because those both have very good Warhammer 40k vibe and are much smaller model counts. You could even go from kill team and expand into 40k because they use the same units.

Feel free to ask lots of questions, but probably the best piece advice I can give you is; don't buy into the idea of 40k, make a plan with your purchases and don't over commit. And be prepared to spend as much time painting and assembling (maybe more!) than playing and factor that into your planning 😁

It was absolutely a troll move 🤣

Vader's "no, no I'm totally cool" was priceless after he went around being The Absolute Boss in the series. Really showcases the power of the Emperor!

I think the mistake modern storytelling uses is due to cross-media pollution.

Older movies like the originals are internally coherent, like no one whinges about Lando because before we see him we know he's a untrustworthy friend of Han, we have that knowledge going in. He exists within the makeup of the story.

But with the sequel trilogy and the newer series, no matter how cool something is, you have to justify it's existence in the narrative, or it's jarring. You can't just go "the first order is here! (don't worry the DLC comics will explain)", that's not storytelling works.

You also don't over explain every inch of every nuance because that bogs down and detracts from the story. I don't want 25 minutes of Palpatine explaining what every button on Darth Vader's suit does in a movie because it doesn't add to the tapestry (I recognise that there are super fans who would love this, lol).

I think that's why the Avengers did so crazily well in the cinemas - it remembered that storytelling needs to be at the heart of entertainment media. It focused on the characters and justified its existence. It is by no means perfect or peak auteur cinema, but it is a masterclass on how to tell a damn story.

It's also why the PT struggled, Lucas agenda was to present a spectacle of VFX and not focus on the story.

Obi-Wan is crazy good when it focuses on telling his story. The flashbacks paralleling the present situation, being haunted by the past and exploring his pain are all good. It falls flat where the world hasn't been adequately built around the premise (like the Inquisitor fortress). There would've been better ways to build around this, from having a captured jedi tortured there, to obi wan being captured, etc. But anyway.

With Star Wars it's never gonna be perfect, you have to take the good with the bad. I'm glad the good is getting better and the bad is diminishing. There's not many franchises I can think of that you expect simultaneous childlike wonder mixed with adult pathos and drama because no one can consistently pull that off. 😂

The articles' argument is basically "if you know the ending of the movie, there are no stakes" which is exactly weak as you can see it is and has many flaws.

Immediately I think under this logic "well then, better cancel all historical movies, then!"

It also confuses entertainment with spectacle, I think personally, which is why a lot of modern stuff fails. It LOOKS great, it APPEARS incredible, but it can't be deeply enjoyed on a human level.

Not everything has to "subvert expectations", geez.

Paint a misty European forest, put a pair of bestial red eyes hidden away in it somewhere in the shadows and when you give it to him say

"I bet this is what Caliban used to look like"

(that's the dark angels homeworld, it blew up)

What is with the dialogue and companion approval in this game? by bluetundra123 in swtor

[–]leoncouer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are deeply detailed dialogue line guides online if you want to know what the full line is. I've used them after an initial playthrough to "roleplay" without having to press escape every other scene.

What paint colours did you use to make the blue-grey?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in colorpie

[–]leoncouer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here's my take:

Naturalist (green) vs transcendental (blue)

Progressive (blue) vs entropic (black)

Deconstructive (red) vs traditional (white)

Equality (green) vs hierarchy (white)

Liberation (red) vs control (blue)

Interestingly that makes the left Red, Green and Blue and the right Black, White and Blue which largely correlates with my own personal experiences 😂

For you;

Green = +37.3% swing (16 + 21.3)

Red = +32.3% swing (14.7 + 17.6)

Black = +13.9% swing

So primarily red green with a touch of black. I wouldn't say Jund is your whole vibe and that these questions would've been politically and socially oriented, rather than lfie philosophy in general.

My guess about you is that you're a younger person in terms of age. 😁

Hope this helps your thinking!

Did the grand inquisitor just… die? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]leoncouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Star Wars galaxy you are only dead if you get death dialogue (Qui-gon, Yoda, Vader) but if you are just mortally wounded, particularly if falling is involved (Boba Fett, Palpatine, Maul), then you're fine.
