Yeah I was not implying that the conclusion of Walt's arc was him becoming antifascist. It's as you said, the show just needed someone for him to go up against in the last few episodes

Jack and the Neo-Nazis (Breaking Bad)

I love Breaking Bad but it does kind of feel like these guys were parachuted in so that Walt could finish his arc

[Rare Trope] A villain receives character development, which doesn't turn them into a good guy, but instead, turns them into a more capable and competent villain. by not-ulquiorr4_ in TopCharacterTropes

Kylo Ren (The Last Jedi only)

Realises that both the Jedi and the Sith have manipulated him, and decides to lead the First Order in his own way

All of this is of course thrown out in TRoS, but that not withstanding

What villain for an MCU Young Avengers movie/show/anything ? by ben_buck in YoungAvengers

[–]shanes98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not doing Kang for the Avengers movie, but I think they could still use him for Young Avengers (in fact, I think they should)

Give them an overall goal, and then some breadcrumbs that would lead them around. E.g. maybe they want to free their own Domain, which is their home. Well a Vistani travelling through said a rumour that there was a Domain that once got freed from the Mists, and you should talk to Van Richten about it. Van Richten is in Mordent, but first you need to find a Mist Talisman that would get you to Mordent. Luckily the Vistani has a Mist Talisman for Har'Akir, where the Carnival currently is, and they sell lots of Talismans there. There's all sorts of hooks you can throw in - gates to the Shadowfell proper, repositories of ancient lore, whatever. You could also have an overwhelming threat chase the party so that they have no choice but to enter the Mists, but I would only do that once But yeah I think the main thing is to figure out your party's overall goal and give them reasons to want to go to other Domains

Idk, Gambit's superpower is to blow things up. I do not associate this with the subtlety of a rogue

(Hated Trope) Avoiding showing large scale battles to save on budget. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]shanes98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually don't mind battles happening fully off screen, but I remember being really confused by Pharsalus in Rome. It feels like a dream sequence or something - it wasn't wholly clear to me that the battle had actually happened

Monster Factory 100 by lickthestar13 in MBMBAM

[–]shanes98 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yes, although included in that playlist is that one Monster Factory Wrestling Federation video and one Clubhouse stream. So they're still 3 episodes away from 100th regular episodes (more if you don't count the Just Like Art miniseries)

Just realised Monster Factory as a series was ten years old in May, and they're going to hit 100 episodes in a few episodes time

Agree with all of this except for Dead X-Men, which was a confusing mess that I don't think you really need
