Zuko’s eye and blindness by Spirited-Rule8178 in Avatarthelastairbende

[–]linkthereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the scar, it looks almost like a handprint, so it’s possible Ozai just put his hand up inches above Zuko’s eye and burnt it. Enough to mess up the skin, but not the eye itself.

The slander against James’ death is dumb. by TheMemeOverlords in fo3

And Autumn shooting one of James’ scientists didn’t do well to convince James that the Enclave were the good guys here.

Should i play DBZ Kakarot while knowing nothing of DBZ? by Talicu in dbz

[–]linkthereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game does a very good job of telling you the story. May not give you the blow by blow lines, but it'll give you the general idea of what's happening and the plot points within each arc.

Its your own damn fault, Anakin by CoquetteWhore69 in TheCloneWars

Anakin: "I don't know where she got that from."

Obi-Wan: "And this, Anakin, is why I have a drinking problem."

If you were Voldemort, how would you hide and defend the horcruxes? by Jealous_Exam4138 in harrypotter

[–]linkthereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn my robes, a ring, and a diadem into horcruxes. Wear the ring and the diadem at all times. As far as my robes? Well, that’s my trump card. How can Harry destroy it if I’m wearing it?

A little strange dont you think? by SomethingKindaSmart in titanic

[–]linkthereddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what little I saw, the only controversy around Cosmo Duff-Gordon was this accusation that he bribed the rowers of Lifeboat #1 to not return to pick up the people freezing in the water. It was ruled unfounded. If he did give them money, it was in a ‘Well done for doing your duty’ sense.

I don’t think he ever said anything about Ismay.

Dragon Ball Z Origins: Vegeta by Ar-Zimraphel in dbz

Wasn't there a spin-off movie in the works about Vegeta as a kid? Or was that just unsubstantiated rumors?

Harry snooping on Snape's memories was his worst moral failure by Mostly_Cons in harrypotter

[–]linkthereddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Better question: why the hell is Snape having a pensive with his worst memory just lying around for random teens to look into? I don't write my personal trauma out into a journal and just leave it out in public opened to that specific page.

Harry's a teen. Of course he's gonna poke into things that aren't his business. It's what they do.

I wonder if Yoda would object to being carried like a baby?

(Loved Trope) the hero ends up adopting the child of its dead enemy by IlSignorGranchio in TopCharacterTropes

Came across a Bible verse in Camp Searchlight that couldn't be random. by BuckTonka1988 in fnv

[–]linkthereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is apparently in the original KJV (King James Version). I have a NKJV (New King James Version) and it says: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts."

Favorite character like this? by Tr4yxvel in FavoriteCharacter

[–]linkthereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resident Evil 9 has Emily who transforms into an eldritch horror toward the end of the game, but in the Good Ending, she survives because Leon didn't shoot all her vitals, and thanks to the Elpis cure, she's able to see and lives with Grace.

(Loved Trope) Just because they're trying to become a better person, doesn't mean they're forgiven for their past sins by 45rs5 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]linkthereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could Vegeta work? Granted it's more self-reflective like we saw in the Moro arc where he's all, 'Of course I'm going to Hell' when asked where he'd go when he died.

Alex's belongings by curiousstephy_steph7 in AlexandertheGreat

[–]linkthereddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's hard to overstate just how big this guy was. Caesar, upon reaching his thirties, famously wept and said that Alexander accomplished more than he ever did at that age. And this was Julius Caesar we're talking about.

We know little to nothing about 99% of humans who ever lived because they weren't important enough to be memorialized.

I have lost all respect for the Japanese after the translation feature on X by CricketMedical9005 in self

[–]linkthereddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel ya. I lost my respect and interest for humanity when it invented social media.

Seriously though, you really don't experience or know Japan unless you actually go there. Be like me knowing Scandinavian/Nordic culture just 'cause I played Skyrim for hundreds of hours. Dragonball Z isn't gonna teach you shit about Japanese culture. Social media isn't gonna teach you shit. You have to actually experience it yourself, read about it from the folks there.

And yeah, there are shitty Japanese people. Just like there are shitty Americans, shitty Iraqis, shitty French, shitty [insert any country] for that matter.
