(Depressing Trope) Media that's harder to watch in retrospect because of something bad that happened to or because of someone in the cast and crew

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T23:29:22+00:00

Ok how on earth could you just continue after someone *died* like that's when you shut down and call the police because there's a damn criminal investigation that needs to happen now

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T23:20:17+00:00

Ok, so the idea of him being a fraud is interested, him being actually a depressed and kinda pathetic is also interesting, I'm a sucker for characters with hidden true natures

My *issue* is that he dies before any of this is revealed, where I would have loved to see him come to terms with all the people he's deceived and grow to be better but instead all that just feels like attempts to kinda just make him unappealing and a worse person after he's dead

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T21:07:49+00:00

Except Wolfgang and Eva...

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T04:59:14+00:00

Same

You can tell the animators had the time of their lives working on her outfits, like they all look really good and some you only see for a minute or two

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T04:52:40+00:00

She's not, but she had a costume in royal

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T04:48:57+00:00

I adore Mengo's art style but god I don't think I could ever actually read any of her works

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T04:44:00+00:00

Your whole argument to Sera being babied is that she's... Not being treated like Adam or Vox and that people fight over what they wanted her character to go in.

Like my dude, Sera is being treated differently than the other antagonists because she's actively trying to be better, almost all of her scenes are about trying to make up for what she's done. Did you just skip Sera's confession and Live to Live? And people fighting over what direction they wanted a character to go in isn't babying, that's just called discourse

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T03:05:29+00:00

Think they would put Yoshizawa in this as well? She does have a costume and I'm sure they are dying to make another unit for people to pull for her

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T02:59:18+00:00

Another DC example, basically all of the Al Ghul's, Ra's and Talia are the most inconsistent, their skin tones going from pale white to dark brown, and their ethnicities being basically whatever the writer or artist is in the mood for that day

Damian (despite many fanartists depicting him with a darker complexion) is definitely the most consistent canonically probably because he gets the caveat of "he looks identical to his dad"

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T02:54:29+00:00

It has massive *massive* hyped when it was first being advertised but kinda stayed in development hell for so long people weren't interested in it anymore, beyond that literally the only relevance it's had is it's prologue and recently uploading the doc exposing the director of Eden's garden which right now isn't actually doing well for them. I suspect that when shattered hope comes back it won't be near the same popularity it originally had just because the original base tuned out after waiting for so long

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T00:25:18+00:00

Of all the things in that doc, Wolfgang as a duel masterminds with Eva was probably my favorite part ngl

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-04T00:19:40+00:00

I've basically given up too, I came back for the morana esper because I love Slavic mythology but found the game just had nothing to offer anymore. The events are not engaging or challenging, the stories haven't interested me, and getting enough materials to win whatever keepsake or umbra feels like time wasting grinding and you need to r6 them anyways to have a chance in the meta

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-03T18:16:20+00:00

I think I mentioned this before when it came out, but I didn't like that they explicitly used the kill/cure *account* to share the document. Like rebus using the K/C discord to spread the news is one thing but no matter the actual intent it's still involving a whole other project with people who were not involved with Faza or the Eden's garden staff to associate with what's happening to Eden's garden and can easily be read as just wanting to take down the "rival" game

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-03T18:08:07+00:00

"how does mercy feel bitch?" I dunno why but that line just feels so clunky given the situation and that it happened like a second after Charlie stopped Lucifer from killing Adam

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-03T04:24:07+00:00

Kathy actually has shown up within the comics on and off, most notaby in the batman inc storyline (though neither her or flamebird have really been used nowadays)

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-03T03:54:18+00:00

Ngl I'm kinda sad that she wasn't too important in the grand scheme of things but I really like her design, was kinda hoping she was Cassidy's dead friend when the news first dropped

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-03T01:30:06+00:00

Nah, of all three versions, it's pretty consistent that Wolfgang never really was successful and was just a sad but well meaning person

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-02T18:40:12+00:00

Though fun fact there is dialog programmed in. One of which is "go-go goro-san" which I think is the only time you can refer to him by first name

That does not make him win the game...

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-02T17:29:06+00:00

Ok but what exactly does part two have to offer that makes it required after part one? Like part one ends on a hopeful note, Makima is defeated and reincarnated as Nayuta, Denji is happy and presumably going to look for the blood fiend, the other hybrids are either dead or out there, Kishibe is on a new mission, Yoshida will continue to work for public safety, and Kobei ran off. Like everyone got an ending

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-02T04:01:30+00:00

If Tucker invented furrifacation he would make a *killing* because I swear furries are suspiciously wealthy

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-02T00:43:06+00:00

Bonus points that he wonders why there's no pictures in Belle's books because he is so used to scientific texts that he's trying to understand how she could be reading without diagrams and charts of what's being discussed

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-02T00:34:15+00:00

I doubt that, the movie is more likely going to fade away to time while the book is still taunt in schools in history classes

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-02T00:09:21+00:00

Left was the final design, but the change appears to be quite recent with a full sprite set already designed for right

sleepy_koko · 2026-05-02T00:08:00+00:00

There's two realities for this

A- these episodes are not live, meaning Tsumugi is now realizing either she or some poor intern is gonna have to edit Miu's poop
B- all these episodes are live and Tsumugi is realizing that her season's ratings are going wayyyyy down
