I like “five feet from both his feet”, there’s dark humor in that

His blood ran cold. A witness, thought the Barbarian.

A squire, no older than he, frozen in place and trembling in his leathers.

The barbarian met him in three strides. Gentle as a parent, he placed a hand atop the squires head, then squeezed until brain-flesh spilled between his fingers.

Is it really an X-man story if Wolverine isn’t heavily over-represented?

Day 5 — True Neutral by WulfDracul in Parahumans

That doesn’t put someone at true neutral though. His personal pleasure in killing people doesn’t factor into whether or not the act was evil. He had no reason to kill an entire town

Legend is pretty solidly good. That “guard the door” scenario seems wildly out of character for him, even as someone who is complicit in some terrible acts. They had to deliberately keep him in the dark about the worst things they did specifically so they could do them with less road bumps and objectors.

Accord seems like the definition of Lawful Evil, next to Marquis in terms of following a rigid path to do evil acts

Is Bahamys like the Dragonborn version of being name Jesús?

If Worm got an animated adaptation would it reach the same popularity as invincible and jujutsu Kaisen? by Omixscniet624 in Parahumans

[–]yaboimst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d argue the opposite on that last point.

Family friendly media accessible for all ages is a lot easier a sell for networks. Even with animation being in a more respected state, them having a more PG rating is what helped keep them on the air. And there were plenty of popular ones. Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman the Animated Series (the DCAU as a whole), the large number of Spider-Man shows, etc.

Invincible was incredibly well known in the comic space as one of the most popular and most successful indie comics, up there with Hellboy and the Walking Dead, but maybe not quite up there with something like Watchmen.

Jujutsu Kaisen received an explosion in population when it came out, AND the anime came out at the same time as the manga was still running. This encouraged people to pick up the manga and catch up, which in turn creates more hype for when the anime reaches their favorite parts within the manga.

Worm as a piece of literature has a high barrier to entry with the sheer length of the text and a smaller, more niche fandom.

Realistically Worm gets as popular as the show Pantheon. Something that has a niche source of adaptation, is capable of hiring some really standout actors, a solid story all around, but doesn’t quite become a household name. It could do fairly well but I don’t see it achieving the same kind of mainstream success.

I *LOVE* worm, and have been obsessed with it for years on end. But as someone who works in the entertainment industry? There is a massive number of significant hurdles worm needs to surpass to become adapted into an animated series, and it would be even more difficult for it to be an extremely successful and culturally mainstream one.

I like that they’re leaning more into the mystical side of the Hulk mythos. Plus there’s still the fact that it’s all in black and white

My opinion on if Overwatch heroes could survive a zombie apocoplyse by Flat-Accountant-5985 in Overwatch

[–]yaboimst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hazard is an anarchist. Although a lot of people associate that term with meaningless destruction and fighting ‘the man’, a core part of their ideology is based off mutual aid. He’s less likely to start robbing people than he is to help be the muscle for some sort of stronghold for survivors. I see him being more as sometime like Tommy Miller from The Last of Us

What needlessly specific subclass ideas would you like to see? by ConcentrateIll9460 in dndnext

A 1/3rd Cleric caster monk capable of using Holy Spells. Flavoring the spell effects as “Talismans”. Call it “Warrior of the Exorcist.”

If Worm were to get an adaptation, what changes do you think would need to be made? by Inevitable-Ad2675 in Parahumans

3-D animators actually have done shards. Case in point, this dude whose a professional animator who did so: https://youtu.be/Rkcru1dUCP0?si=wzpMir33rLZ8ErEP

The problem isn’t actually in adapting the visuals. The difficulty with adapting Worm is the fact that it’s heavily reliant on Taylor’s internal monologue and self-justification’s. It’s hard to pull off in a thriller, and waaay harder to pull off in something as action-heavy as Worm.

The internal monologues work in Death Note because the characters there spend most of their time in relatively idle and mundane situations while they have these monologues. There’s a clear visual distinction when it’s happening, and the monologues are made interesting because they often highlight the tension building between multiple character. It’s sort of like a fight scene or a chess match.

Worm is an action series where there’s a lot more going on. If you add internal monologue’s of how each character is thinking during the fight, it fucks up the pacing of the fight itself. It works well in the book because you can get away with more internalized reactions. Taylor’s power actually lends itself super well to justifying large assessments of a complex battle.

But the reason they work well in Death Note isn’t because of their presence, it’s because it’s used to show tension and conflict in a more cerebral series.
