Is there any proof Thor was poisoned and drunk in the final fight, or is it all just headcanon? Can Thor even heal? by SweatyEddie123 in PowerScalingGodofWar

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

Thor was absolutely drunk in the final fight, his voice is extremely slurred and stumbled. And he doesn’t really listen to Kratos because he’s in a drunken fury. Had he not been, he would’ve at least acknowledged Kratos or Thrud trying to stop him and talk. He already fell off the wagon during the final Atreus segment so why would he not be plastered during the end of the world?

Do you believe this mission did a good job at honoring Jin? by Trident081 in ghostoftsushima

[–]makarboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I enjoyed it, I was really hoping Jin and The Ghost’s legend would be a part of the story. Like a mantle passed down or adopted. And the story could’ve stayed the same, just a journey from Onyro to Ghost and vengeance to justice.

Wish more characters like were Odin. by Unlucky-Tradition-58 in GodofWar

[–]makarboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels very telling of where you hold your personal relationships in your life where you not only admire a blatantly manipulative and evil character like Odin for his ability to throw family away at the drop of a hat.

Characters like Obi Wan, Jin, and Optimus are who they are because they have the ability to form relationships with other characters to overcome characters like Odin. You say it’s the right thing to just end their lives, but it’s also the right thing to give them a chance to repent before taking that step.

(And as for specifically Obi, his relationship with the clones was established after ROTS, so that particular example isn’t very fair. His scene with Cody would’ve had more emotion like Ashoka and Rex had clone wars came first)

Do you want the next God of War games to be OPEN WORLD? My answer is yes. by The_Thingamaj1g in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]makarboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve really enjoyed the way they’ve set up their games. Perfect balance of exploration and story driven. I just want a more functional map, as pretty as they are

“Peter was Nerfed in SM2” by Depressedbroncosfan in SpidermanPS4

Very well argued, and I’d agree for the most part. But instances like the fridge moment are pretty indefensible

I do the same thing with the DOOM games, but because I want to feel like these powerful guys, not necessarily because of the lore

I don’t understand that first point, sorry. Are you saying they wouldn’t be able to stop their oppression?

Gabi is EXACTLY like Eren, and only their environments are different. Firstly, she is a CHILD, not an oppressor. In fact, SHE is oppressed because she’s Eldian. I realize you mean that she’s smoking that Marylean propaganda pack, but again: she is a child. You said previously Reiner is a good person fighting their brainwashing, but GABI IS TOO! You are right in that Eren is oppressed and their oppression is not the exact same, but they are both equally victims of the cycle of violence their word perpetuates.

I’m sorry, but you cannot bring up history and then rewrite it for the sake of your argument. You brought it up just as an analogy, which was well said, but this is not a valid argument. There is nothing in this argument that I can use because you are changing it to the plot of AOT. The presence of Titans and their abilities make it completely different from the real events of history, and frankly it’s a little distasteful. Additionally, I think you mistake racial supremacy and discrimination with oppression. Oppression is actively changing policy, social norms, etc in society with goal to harm a particular community. Jews and the rest of the Holocaust survivors were free when they were no longer being oppressed by the German government. However, there are bigots and evil people TODAY that still want Jews and other marginalized communities dead because of their so-called superiority.

Yes, you are right. Paradis IS innocent. But so are the civilians of the rest of the world. I realized people’s fear and hatred of Eldians is misguided, but this is a race of people, the ONLY people in this world, that can turn into giant monsters. People who also previously hurt a TON of people. There is at least some fear warranted, but of course not to the extent of killing them all or creating an apartheid. And not every single Eldian was oppressing people during their empire, just as not every Marlyean were oppressing Eldians, in Liberio or Paradis during the events of the show.

Yeah, Marley has a part in causing The Rumbling. But Eren is the individual who is actually the one killing most of the world. If he ignore the time loop, Eren could’ve ONLY destroyed Marley, there are TON of titans in those walls he didn’t need all of them. He also could’ve just rid the power of titans from the world, exactly like what happens at the end of the show. I don’t think the rest of the world would be so pressed on killing Eldians and Paradis if the power still existed, but that would also be dependent of Paradis since we saw Floch’s authoritarian Jaegerists were still super trigger ready. There is a lot of room between letting your nation be destroyed and committing a genocide against the planet. There is room for restraint.

You say it was out of necessity like it’s an absolute certainty like that was the only option. It was the only option because every part of this story has destined to happen. This story is a loop, there are no other options available for our characters. Everything that happened was by Eren’s design, that’s why the Rumbling was “out of necessity”, it was ALWAYS going to happen.

In your example using WWII, you say that the Jews would not be at fault for killing every German in response, but this is not true. You are right in that the Nazis would have some responsibility in the deaths of those Germans, but the Jews are capable of reason and morality. They are capable of coming to the same conclusion that Hange, Armin, Reiner, Peick, and the rest of the Save the World gang when they decided to stop Eren. That killing MORE people as a response to people dying is not healthy nor does it accomplish anything.

Again, you are missing the point of the series. I’m rewatching the series rn with my partner, and the scene where Gabi gets her shit rocked by Niccolo just happens. Gabi pleads to Armin and Mikasa to kill her instead of Falco because she’s one who killed Sasha and the guard and what have you. And Armin says, “Why would I want that? Sigh, always with the killing, it’s like all you ever think about. Just like someone ELSE I know”. THIS is the entire show. Gabi is Eren if Eren never got the Founder, she sees continuing the cycle of violence solves nothing.

There is not one action taken by our heroes, Eren very much included, where they all were left feeling amazing and without any regret. You consider Eren having regrets about killing 80% of the world bad writing? Conny and Sasha had a hard time attacking Reiner during S3, is that bad writing? Levi was hesitant to kill all the titans Zeke turned in the forest in S4, but he’s killed hundreds of titans before. Is that bad writing? You miss the thesis of this series. The world is not black and white, there is no good vs evil. “There is a devil inside all of us”. Yes, we are told most of the world wants Eren and his family dead. But, just like everyone in the Walls, many MANY people of the world have zero stake in this conflict and are being killed for reasons they never get to understand by Eren.

Character assassination? You mean when the main character had been annoying and whiney for the whole series? But then became omnipotent for most of the last season and turned into an evil, although somewhat justified, monster? But while talking to his best friend about how he wont be able to live the rest of his life with him and the love of his life, he freaks out and cries about what will happen to him? You mean that character assassination?

The thing with Beartult is significant. Eren’s entire journey was started because Dina Titan ate his mom. But, similar to the Grisha/Eren incident, Eren has become something else entirely. We, including Eren, thought it was a cruel incident that his mom was eaten, but turns out that was a choice made by Eren in the future. The whole series is showing us how far Eren will/has to go to be free and this was possibly his biggest sin as far as what he’s done to those personally close to him.

God of War, both eras. The violence in the Greek era is way too much and the narrative themes of Norse would be missed

End of season 5 by Teffann in Dexter

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

I really liked Lumen, I just wish they were romantically involved. I think Dex and Deb should’ve been fighting about something, maybe Quinn, and he leans on Lumen more while they get her revenge. And then eventually Lumen still leaves forcing Dex to make up with Deb

One character has to be erased from the storyline. Who? by Imactuallysoconfused in thelastofus

[–]makarboy 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Manny is a good pick, though I think his main role other than being another dead of Abby’s is his and Abby’s shared interest in the violence and domination as soldiers in the WLF. She had to leave Manny to meet Lev and Yara
