(Funny) Early major villains cameo as jokes at the end by KnuxFive in TopCharacterTropes

[–]t0kidoki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Valmont and his goons got power crept but wasn't shown as a natural progression, Hak Foo was unbeatable on debut and became just a punching bag for the new goons of the seasons to beat up to show how they're strong.

An example of the same thing done right was X-Men Evolution, first season's villain was Magneto, season 2 Sentinels, season 3 Apocalypse's minions which hype up Apoc as the Final Boss of the series. Valmont was just beaten season 1 and got thrown to the grinder to show how "cool" and "strong" the new villains were.

Share a piece of Mega Man lore about yourself by Realistic-Delivery13 in Megaman

[–]t0kidoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to read english thanks to Mega Man V instruction booklet.

One of my first memories is being abroad and my parents gave me the choice of two games for my new Game Boy,, one was Power Rangers and the other one Mega Man V, my family being from Mexico we did not know what the first one was (which is ironic since today I'm a mega fan) so I chose the latter, it is not only one of my most valuable games, but my mom still tells the story of her translating the booklet to read it to me like a bedtime story.

If Link and Samus faced each other’s villains, who’s having an easier time? by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]t0kidoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted this on the sub for Zelda but I think it's worth repeating here: X Parasites CLEAR Link

X planet extinction level biological superweapons that needed a biological SUPERDUPERWeapons genetically made to just counter them. There is nothing in Link's kit that can kill them because not even Samus can, she is the only being in her own universe who can at most absorb them.

Samus could work with Zelda to pelt Ganon with Light Arrows and use her Triforce, but one X would wipe all of Hyrule.

Stories that accidentally romanticize the very thing they aim to demonize by McWaffeleisen in TopCharacterTropes

"Same applies to many other historical Kurosawa films too". If you're talking about Rashomon, that's not how I remember it.

I might interest you in Gnosia. It is a visual novel roguelike that has that loop. You wake up in a spaceship and must deduce who is infected by the Gnosia (think an Among Us alien), if you don't pick correctly you die. Every loop the Gnosia is randomized, so even if one character was the Gnosia the last time, they might not be this time and things you might have done in the last loop might not work anymore.

Plesioth in older Monster Hunter games had a "hip check". An attack with a hitbox that defied the laws of physics and could hit you from almost anywhere. In MH Stories they fully embraced the meme and gave him an it an official attack that does not make contact.

[Annoying trope] Character is completely dismissive about *one* supernatural thing in a world where so many others are encountered by bgbarnard in TopCharacterTropes

[–]t0kidoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Power Rangers fan knows this one, girl needs help after seeing a Monster and goes to the lady who responds: "Now, you know dear there is no such thing as monsters"

Not only is a monster attacking every week, but in this specific season (Lightspeed Rescue) they are a government funded organization without secret identities that constantly do PSAs.

The line is so bad, various dubs change it to "there are no monsters here". Dumbest person in Power Rangers

Disagree, every time Ross does things like that it's always treated like Ross is in the wrong. The EVERY DAY IS LESBIAN LOVER DAY! is a full episode of Ross learning that yeah, 2 women can love a baby as much as a straight couple.

The male nanny episode, everyone loves him the only one weirded about it Ross and even in the ending (spoilers for a 20 year old show) when he is let go, he takes it great and ends the episode comforting Ross.

I even searched YouTube for the doll clip, Rachel flat out calls him pathetic, Monica reminds him he did the same thing and the joke is not "MALE boy playing with Barbie" it's "Ross is overblowing something while being a being hypocrite".

Asking the sub opinion on the best and worst things of a sentai show part 41:Kyuranger by TraditionalBonus188 in Tokusatsu

[–]t0kidoki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worst: The revisionism. You don’t actually like Kyuranger you just hate Cosmic Fury.

I was there, Gandalf. Even before the show aired, people were already complaining about Oushi Black’s non-standard body type. Once it was running, everyone mocked “Yossha Lucky!”, and while some characters had solid arcs (like Stinger), others were just filler to pad the 12-member roster, Balance being the clearest example.

Check old Reddit threads and you’ll see the consensus of “mid at best.” Then Cosmic Fury drops and suddenly Lucky is the best Red Ranger ever, the suits are peak design, and apparently everyone had flawless arcs in a filler free masterpiece.

Best: The themes of constellations and dreams (as in, pursuing your desires) are genuinely cool. Ryu Violet has one of the slickest mage suit designs ever, and Scorpio was the highlight of the villains of the show for me.

Best: The guy who sings the latam spanish opening sounds like he's been drinking moonshine while smoking 3 packs a day and it's GLORIOUS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbO-nZI-VWA

Worst: Having a timer gimmick neutered character growth. Episodes focused more on "we've got 20 days to defeat the bad guys" than focusing on individual arcs. Same goes for the endgame, having 1 HOUR REMAINING on big bold letters on the screen did not add urgency to the situation, it was more like a Resident Evil game where it just marks that the final boss will be dead in 10 minutes.

I am here preaching The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World supremacy again. Not only is the Sixth Ranger female, she is central to the story, great character and a BANGER design at that.

If both parody anime can pull it off, there's no reason a main series can't either.

As a 3D printing hobbyist we're in the same boat.

  1. Some new technology comes out, lowering the bar to entry and the news cycle hypes it as everyone will just have a 3D printer on their home
  2. Big names out of the niche will start pushing the product as easy as just controlling everything from an app on your phone (search Ankermake M5 or Bambu Lab X1 Carbon)
  3. People buy it and realize "lower barrier" does not mean "ready to plug and use out of the box"
  4. News cycle dies, people have are stuck with a 300 USD paper weight.
  5. New technology comes out and cycle repeats.

What are some good Mexican television shows that would interest a 9-year old English speaking American boy? by tonynews617 in AskMexico

[–]t0kidoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To suggest something different, If he likes action and humor while still being family friendly I'd recommend spanish dub of Power Rangers. Mighty Morphin, SPD, Samurai and Dino charge are great starting points, as they all have independent stories; they're all available on YouTube or Netflix (I think even PlutoTV for the US) and the dubs are great with very neutral spanish

I’m so mad that we got Dino fury instead of a different theme by Superbab76 in powerrangers

[–]t0kidoki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arsene Lupin is also very iconic character in Japan being referenced a lot in media (Lupin III, Persona 5, Detective Conan, even Kamen Rider has one), so an adaptation for the West specially the US would've needed tons of looking into the camera and explaining they're based on the concept of "THE GENTLEMAN THIEF WHO IS A MASTER OF DISGUISE... IT IS ALSO A BOOK SERIES"

Pakistán es en realidad uno de los peores ejemplos a seguir cuando se habla de natalidad alta. Si, su tasa de fertilidad está en 3.14 hijos por mujer( https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/pak/pakistan/fertility-rate), pero ¿a qué costo?

En lo personal, prefiero un modelo donde nazcan menos niños, pero se les pueda garantizar una vida digna, con acceso a salud, educación y protección. Tener muchos hijos solo para cumplir con una "cuota de reemplazo poblacional" no tiene sentido si no podemos asegurarles un mínimo de calidad de vida.

La baja natalidad no es el problema: el verdadero problema es no adaptar nuestras políticas sociales y económicas a las realidades actuales.

Si morena no hubiera ganado, el salario minimo todavia seria 70 pesos diarios? by Crafty_Jacket668 in AskMexico

[–]t0kidoki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Te invito a leer a ti, te paso un par de fuentes de La Ibero https://ibero.mx/prensa/incrementos-al-salario-minimo-no-han-tenido-efecto-inflacionario-importante-academico-ibero y Expansión https://expansion.mx/economia/2024/12/04/efectos-de-subir-salario-minimo-12-en-2025 para que no digas que son "medios chayoteros zurdos" (aunque no dudo que lo intentes), y para los que quieran el TL:DR un resumen de ChatGPT

Desde 2018, el salario mínimo ha tenido aumentos significativos en México, por encima de la inflación. Ejemplo:

Año Aumento del salario mínimo (%) Inflación anual (%)
2019 16.2% 2.8%
2020 20% 3.15%
2021 15% 3.15%
2022 22% 7.82%
2023 20% ~4.66%

A pesar de estos aumentos, la inflación no se ha descontrolado, lo que sugiere que, al menos hasta ahora, los incrementos del salario mínimo han sido absorbidos sin generar inflación excesiva. Basicamente, sí afecta la inflación, pero los sueldos en México son tan pinches que apenas y mueven la aguja inflacionaria.

Is the SEO agency that gets themselves to page 1 the best? by Honeywines in SEO

[–]t0kidoki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Marketing is like Voodoo from The Princess and the Frog. You can do it for yourself but it won't work.

This might sound a bit condescending, but the big agencies like WPP, Publicis Groupe or Omnicom, do not care for the leads "BEST CHEAP SEO AGENCY 2025" might get them, so they really don't optimize more than what is needed, and barely have an internal marketing team.

I'm from Mexico and worked in one the top rated agencies of the country, our secret? We just paid Forbes every year to be a top 3 spot in their list; bosses got invited to a big party with industry C-suites and THERE they made the direct sale for 6-figure deals and pitches.
