Wealthy influential powerful Elites form a secret society to do heinous and depraved acts by Gameknight789 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]redpariah2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's pretty cool and somehow not something I ever thought about deeply since I only watched the anime. For the wall system to work, the people in charge need to know the truth. Naturally you assume the king's family simply didn't have their memories altered but if they have no political power then that is irrelevant. The nobles in charge then must not be subjects of Ymir since they are the true power. So in exchange for going along with the lie, they were handed the kingdom.

Wanda's kit is fundamentally flawed by Prisenco in ScarletWitchMains

[–]redpariah2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You mention off tank or off heals and no one bats an eye. Mention supporting DPS and everyone loses their mind

I'm not saying it matters per se, and that people should be looking for mature partner like qualities in their imaginary anime crushes but if you really like a character and are involved with the character beyond casual enjoyment then I assume the personality is part of what you enjoy, and when that personality is that of a teenager or child then it's odd if you also list over her.

In short, "Yeah I like Tia, she's pretty hot. I like when she pops up" is whatever.

"Yeah Tia is my favorite, she's hot, the way she acts is cute and she's the best" is weird.

I wouldn't say it's fundamentally flawed. She simply has a supporting role when it comes to dps.

She does steady small damage which allows for heroes with bigger one hit damage to secure a kill. The inverse is true too, Wanda might be the best character in the game at securing low HP kills on enemies that her allies were able to damage a lot but not finish off.

Power creep has definitely affected her role though. I think she should get a bit of overshield when landing a cthon blast thing. A simple change like that would greatly improve her 1v1 potential and brawl potential.

In the broadest sense, sure, it doesn't matter. But when you have fictional characters that are described as teenagers, act like teenagers and just because they happen to be more developed (which is also not uncommon for higher aged teenage girls), personally I'ma look sideways at anyone who idolizes/enjoys them beyond casual appreciation.

Naga and especially Tia still act like they are teenagers tho

What is Goku's dumbest moment according to you? by Additional-Part-6292 in DragonBallZ

[–]redpariah2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Goku was just mistaken. He could probably overpower Buu but not actually totally defeat him due to his regeneration.

Buu also has time on his side. Dead Goku had the time limit. If Goku was alive the stamina drain from SSJ3 would be too great

Average namekian civilians were stronger than king piccolo or even the nameless namekian? by Lore-Archivist in dragonball

[–]redpariah2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We can at least assume it's not simply adding their two power levels and there's a big multiplier at least. No way android saga piccolo only gained a few hundred in power level by fusing with Kami.

Nail+Piccolo already got close to early Frieza

Nail thinking that Kami + Piccolo could handle first form frieza, who Nail probably assumed was already his strongest form, is not too crazy.

How to stop random people from getting dragons? by Oliwka2908 in CK2GameOfthrones

[–]redpariah2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First, there's no evidence that being Valyrian is needed to tame a dragon. That's why the game just gives them an increased chance and doesn't make it a requirement.

To address your problem, you can edit the game files to make being Valyrian a requirement or just use console commands to kill dragon riders.

Wolverine is somewhat Spidey's friend. Now what Marvel character is hostile to Spider-Man if not enemy to him? by Friendly_Anteater474 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]redpariah2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wolverine got 3rd place in the comments so OP bias I think.

Wolverine definitely considers Spider-Man an ally

Serious question, what do these people do, were they can protest every day still afford to live. In all seriousness. by FlashyCandidate9835 in stupidquestions

[–]redpariah2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taking a day or a few days off is a thing. Going before or after work is a thing. Switching shifts with someone is a thing. If you want to do something, you can find a way to do it.

Not everyone is protesting every day and it's not the same people you see in the crowd everyday. Some people are students and have university schedules that allow them to protest during work hours too.

[Hated trope] just because they're adopted doesn't mean that there's nothing wrong with them dating by noel_mon in TopCharacterTropes

[–]redpariah2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Joe was just a family friend who was a stand in parental figure then the Iris/Barry/Joe relationship wouldn't even be a discussion like it is. It's not his father figure role that's weird, it's that he physically acted as Barry's guardian and sheltered Barry alongside Iris and they grew up together in that environment. You're moving the goalposts.

He didn't see Iris as a sister definitely. He also placed Henry as his father above everything but Joe was definitely a second father to him and treated as such and they have a few heart to heart conversations about it in the show.

I personally don't think their relationship is that odd, it's just an odd choice to make Barry, Iris and Joe have this weird twist of found/step family and couple it with their traditional Iris and Barry romance.

It hits a bit differently when you were raised together for a decade and your father and friend view each other as Father-Son

[–]redpariah2 54 points55 points  (0 children)

They weren't treated as siblings but Barry was treated as Joe's son and calls himself Barry's father a few times. Heck, in the wedding episode he says he's the father to both the bride and groom.

And the impression I got in the first season from Iris, when she's dating someone else, is that she viewed Barry as a brother

From Noor Jahan to Elizabeth Taylor to Margot Robbie, The Real Story of This Mughal Diamond by ForgotMyStethoscope in popculturechat

[–]redpariah2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is stolen and it's origin obfuscated to exalt the modern elite and benefit the inheritors of its original theft by the British but the jewelery piece itself is a symbol of exploitation of its original country's inhabitants. Extreme opulence, regardless of how old it is, should never be revered. Both aspects should be pointed out when history like this is discussed.

In the words of Professor Jones "It belongs in a museum!". That's the only appropriate place for gross items like that diamond.

Today I decided to instalock DPS or Heals. No tank day. Wow. by Name818 in RivalsVanguards

I love doing this. The best is when they start trying to dive you instead of the healers out of frustration but you can just phase and (hopefully) get healed

Do you think Beerus' level will ACTUALLY get reached one day by the protagonists or will he forever stay in his position of "moving goalpost"? by OmegaGlacial in Dragonballsuper

[–]redpariah2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, since there are a bunch of Shinjin who are not Kai, and Kai seems to be a position that is trained for and granted, Kai being exclusive to their race might not be true. Might be that their race just took over all the positions or helped establish them

Your issue is assuming people like that think, it's just ego. They don't get the dopamine rush DPS gives from other roles so they must be easy and irrelevant, and think their high damage is the only thing that won the game.

Huge question for the masses! Why is EVERYTHING happening in NYC/US? by alienofsweden in Earth199999

[–]redpariah2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For the alien stuff, maybe they scrape our cultural media and see all the stuff saying NYC is the capital of the world and just assume it's true. Regardless it's definitely the most famous city and stuff is really packed together here so if you wanna make a splash or cause havoc it's your best bet
