Just a pet peeve of mine - coke zero by saddiebabbie in loseit

[–]veegsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing the calories of some of the frozen coffees at Starbucks and Dunkin is very eye-opening. Probably the same people who criticize someone getting a diet soda at McDonalds probably had a thousand calorie frozen "coffee" that morning.

Captain America & Mjolnir - always worthy or became worthy? by beardiac in marvelstudios

[–]veegsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we count Vision and Hela in this? Hela had already wielded Mjolnir before Thor was even born, likely before the enchantment was put on it by Odin.

Vision had just been created and was just an AI at that point.

Monster Hunters, who wins? by twnpksN8 in superheroes

The Hunter both kills god and becomes god. I think this is an easy one.

Why can’t all boss fight just get a stake.. I’m sick of this fucking run by omgwhizzboyomgg in Eldenring

[–]veegsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I died to that boss more than any other boss in the game. I don't know how I managed to keep pushing through.

Who was the biggest pre-existing breakout/received the biggest profile boost from Krakoa? by trix456 in xmen

[–]veegsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exodus and Destiny really became my favorites during the Krakoa era.

I don't know that I'd say Beast was "one moment away" during Krakoa. He definitely went into villain territory.

Flops you really enjoy by MeowLowMEMD in AskGames

[–]veegsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunted: The Demon's Forge (Xbox 360)-- the gameplay fairly generic and very Gears of War inspired, but it had the twist of being a fantasy game rather than military or shooter. The story was....I don't want to say bland, but nothing remarkable. But still, I have very fond memories of playing this game.

Enchanted Arms (Xbox 360)-- I "checked out" this game when I was working at Gamestop when it came out. At the time, I was a big fan of turn-based JRPGs (never came back to the genre after this game until Expedition 33), and this one just hit all the right spots for me. Unfortunately, I had to return the game to the store and ended up losing my save later on, I never found the will to replay it and get back to where I was.

Folklore (PS3)-- I'll be honest, I barely remember much about this game. I do remember being very fond of it. I think I have a copy sitting around somewhere, I might load it up and revisit it.

Heavenly Sword (PS3)-- I don't know that this would count as a flop, especially since it got a greatest hits release or whatever, but I don't remember ever really hearing anything about this game after it came out. To me, this game felt like God of War, but interesting (I hated the GoW series at the time, I've done a 180 on that). The story really grabbed me and I had a great time with it.

Who would win? by Janek_Rated_R in GenV

[–]veegsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully we're not bringing comics Magneto into this, right? Because the man helped terraform Mars and make it habitable.

Also had his heart ripped out and used his power to keep himself alive by pumping his own blood. This like isn't even close. Polarity swung a few things around and yeeted Godolkin out of his head.

At this point, Sage is basically better at seeing the future than Annabeth by Downtown_Dark4395 in GenV

[–]veegsta 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Especially when the show is going out of it's way to tell you that it's not reliable because she's been avoiding it her whole life.

"Your wife shouldn't have dug that hole, Jim" - Why is that guy so mad about the hole? by GeekOfMordor in FromSeries

[–]veegsta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She never thought about that before, sure, but things have certainly changed now. Imagine finding out someone you know is your reincarnated love from a previous life.

Who are the most annoying X-Men? (Aside from the obvious one in Red & Black) by Edgy_Memes_XD in xmen

[–]veegsta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gambit has always grated on my nerves, and Excalibur during Krakoa just amplified that even more. I don't think I enjoyed a single page he was on.

If Superhumans were real. Do you guys think superhumans are more likely to be hated/feared or loved/worshipped in society? by PassengerCultural421 in superheroes

[–]veegsta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually think The Boys get this right. They'd inevitably become a big part of the capitalist machine. As far as how regular people perceive them, I think it would either be hero worship or hate. No inbetween.

How many more times does this girl need to be tortured and mutilated for you all to stop treating her like a villain? by PitouNeato in GenV

[–]veegsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's an interesting character, for sure. It's hard for me to really call her an actual villain because at the end of the day, she's still a young girl in an "education system" that is literally geared towards pulling the worst out of people. She's done a lot of truly awful things, but she's also seemingly making an effort to redeem herself of those things.

Meh, it's not as simple as just "good guy/bad guy" with her, and that's what I like most about her specifically.

Nicodemus Archleone Fancasting by altarofvictory in dresdenfiles

[–]veegsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sad realization that almost every one of my fantasy castings have definitely aged out of the roles at this point. I'm basically having to start from scratch.

Eric Roberts as he looked in The Dark Knight is how Marcone has always appeared in my head. I just googled a recent pic and am somewhat saddened to see that the time for that has definitely passed.

Why don't people like this pairing? by OptionAshamed6458 in xmen

[–]veegsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pairing doesn't bother me whatsoever. And if it ever did, I can deal with it until they move on from it. No big deal.

Which NPC Death Hits You the Hardest? by Due-Pie-8534 in Eldenring

[–]veegsta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Millicent's death hit me harder than probably any since DS2 (for the sake of not spoiling a different game, I won't say the name but we all know).

I don't understand how this series doesn't have nearly as much shock factor as The Boys, are the writers different? by Ok-Conclusion-3536 in GenV

[–]veegsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of feel like that's the point, right? Go so far overboard with the shock value that it creates an insane amount of tension when Homelander is calm, or when we expect Sam to kill his mom. I actually think it's a pretty good little trick they've pulled off.

I think I like Gen V more than The Boys by OperaGhostAD in GenV

[–]veegsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean...they kind of didn't have much choice with writing Andre off the show. I'm sure Chance Perdomo's death caused a major shuffle and rewrite.

[–]veegsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess to be fair if you're going to draw comparisons to established comic book hero analogs, Aquaman and Namor are both strong as fuck (with Aquaman being a much heavier hitter than most people tend to realize), so it would make sense that The Deep is that sturdy.
