@EzriMuldoon @halo2mappack Your being dishonest. He asked a broad question and you took it upon yourself to represent that group. You gave an entirely different reason randomly assigned to liberals, but owned the conservative one. Its very weird that your trying to weasel out of it

@DefinitelyASpud @halo2mappack "I'm not the one who named dropped conservatives, that was good old halo2mappack I'm just trying to be consistent with his chosen language." Did you not read the first post? I'm just respecting his choice to use the term "conservative" to describe those who do not play Marathon

@Yut4rific I said it all the time between kindergarten and 4th grade. Then I realized that how much someone can bench has very little to do with the story an author is trying to tell through the combat.

@MilesUchiha13 @ASubect @BluebriarArts Is your belief that the audience for Shonen is exactly the same as the audience for Amazon's adult animation? Or are you disputing that American animation very rarely leans on spectacle? Thats quite the claim.

@ronesolos Good lord man what happened to people that they expect the "My guy would beat yours in a fight" school of analysis to be taken seriously. Kindergarten ends.

@Critical_Scribe @WhTeaMaster The politics are baked into the story choices though. Hail Mary focused on optimism and human ingenuity. That is a choice, isn't it?

@EzriMuldoon @halo2mappack Did you forget your last post? This is your provided reason for the problem conservatives have with Marathon. Now if you'd said "old school marathon fans" that might have been coherent.

This is a particularly revealing issue because there are literally zero good arguments even on anti-colonial grounds for Argentine control of the Falklands. Leftists who take their side give the game away by demonstrating their “anti-imperialist” commitments have nothing to do with indigenous rights or self-determination, only whatever is bad for whitey

@MilesUchiha13 @ASubect @BluebriarArts Its almost like people watching adult animation in the US have different viewing priorities then the teenagers Shonen is directed at.

@starwarsslop I think we should acknowledge that padme was a hyper competent woman with comically bad taste in men. Not unlike many women her age.

"She never could've seen him being a fascist" when one of the most overused prequel memes of all time is the scene of him telling her to her face that he's a fascist

@GnySgtKabar Weirdest rage bait I've seen in a long time, but the ol' "intentionally misunderstanding something simple" is a classic.

"theres hackers!" Like modern cod games aren't also ridden with hackers and cheaters. "RCE exploits!" You would sooner be struck by lightning than get ratted on console and for pc you can run things like plutonium for free. "There aren't enough players!" Cause you won't play
Gunnery Sergeant Kabar@GnySgtKabar

Im tired of this mopey shit. You can pop any CoD into your xbox right now and play online, but people refuse because they'd rather just "reminisce." People go on and on about how much call of duty has fallen off, but the entire series is available, and you all won't play it.

Powerscaling is the absolute most joyless way to interact with any piece of art. It's not even a recent phenomenon, people were powerscaling Tolkein's work, and he had to send them letters pointing out that they were ruining their own ability to be happy.

Poe's Law, Esq: Poe's Lawyer@dyingscribe

Invincible as a TV series has deeper issues, but it wants to act like it’s the boys where people will forgive poor powerscaling as a result of live action limits and they can just shrug about it But you can write that off in live action for a reason because it’s live action. Sure you can try and make it stable, but it’s still live action. However, you can’t have things like the Re-Animen slow Nolan down right before he survives a nuke from space that flattened the ground for miles and destroy his entire forest with just a nosebleed The fight with the Immortal and the Guardians was bad enough, but each of them could’ve been forgiven if it was just a one off in a first season mistake. But that sort of thing kept happening all the way to season four with Mark and the Vils.

@halo2mappack It betrayed conservative gamers by taking a beloved narrative trilogy & twisting it into a microtransaction filled live service It betrayed liberal gamers when it intended to profit of stolen art, only removing it and paying Antireal after being caught It spat in everyones face

@halo2mappack Funny how it's always "It looks great" And never "I've played it so please let me tell you why its good" 💀 Public player data never lies: steamdb.info/app/1895900/ch… Good art can break internal biases, cultural boundaries & political divisions. Good art will appeal to everyone.

@timAcatsoftpaws Jedi and sith and the force are the entire focus of the setting, and the force itself is quite frequently expanded into new factions and mythology. That comparison is completely off base. But anyway this conversation is dumb. We dont agree and its that simple.

By the Legacy of the Force books Mandalorians were simultaneously the ultimate warrior badasses whose generic soldiers could take storied Jedi Masters, but also the moral arbiter of the Galaxy. Calling them an authors pet would be underselling it by orders of magnitude.
Dylan Emery (King Kong & Darth Maul Era!)@timAcatsoftpaws

@DefinitelyASpud By completely butchering them like most things he touches I see. Why do you hate Mandalorians? Where did that even come from?

@Framinthor @some_leftie Your position has changed quite a bit from "we all believe the same things we did in the 90s". And are you sure you want to do the list thing? It doesn't look great for White Americans around that time either (outside of 9/11, obviously).

@OfyBurger Its completely irrelevant though. Im sure if Onmi-man had been interested in destroying the planet he'd have done so. He wanted to kill the big bug in such a way that would leave it in good order to butcher and eat. Very different level of force needed. Not like the bug hurt.

I think invincible is a perfect example of why I find the whole “I don’t care about power scaling, I just care about writing” mindset to be really misguided. Like, the power system and the logic behind fights/how strong characters are is BAKED into the writing. Not separate.
@

I’m reaching the point where powerscaling is genuinely starting to hurt my enjoyment of the show. #invincible I cannot believe this is the same dude struggling in any way to fight bugs

@timAcatsoftpaws Lol man he is a side character, and remained one except in a few books until he got a TV show. Thats just a fact. Idk why your so stuck on that. Lots of side characters are well liked.

@DefinitelyASpud Pretty sure the only name I've called you is hypocrite. Also denying Boba Fett's iconic status is objectively wrong. Just say it's not for you. You don't have to lie about how popular he is.

@timAcatsoftpaws Instead of exploring the consequences of Return of the Jedi, we are playing hot potato with a black lightsaber. Starwars is a huge world. The way creatives lean on mandalorians and just pile on traits to them is boring when they could instead invent entirely new factions.

@timAcatsoftpaws I couldn't disagree more. They limit story opportunities and shrink the galaxy. Instead of a deep republic tradition or a strange kaminoian design, we get Mando armor because the audience recognizes it (i know the Canon reason).
