I would be very curious to see if there has been any instances of this not being followed and a candidate still being on the ballot and they just NOW seemingly found out about this one simple trick.
You mean like that one cop who enforced the exact speed limit?

Interesting question.

It's the rare exception to the remake paradox. Bad games don't deserve a remake; good games don't need a remake. But with Xenogears, the game is brilliant with obvious budget issues holding it back.

ooh, ooh, now do the JRPG checklist
Why are JRPGs comparable to the whole Western sector? Oh I know, because you're used to Western gaming where there are only two genres. Well, it's not that way on the other side of the planet. The Japanese gaming sector has loads of variety.

But sure, if you want to stack the deck against the Japanese, I'll play along because it will still leave Western games in the dust.

Genres of JRPG include:
Turn based JRPG
AJRPG
SJRPG

Settings of JRPG include:
The inside of a giant machine (Resonance of Fate)
The Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG)
Dieselpunk (Final Fantasy 7)
The age of exploration, except the oceans are sky instead of water (Skies of Arcadia)
Fantasy that actually has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings (gasp!) (Baten Kaitos)
Chinese folklore (Suikoden)

World styles of JRPGs include:
Open
World map
One big dungeon
World menu

I will concede, though, if any genre of Japanese gaming has movement that could be comparable to how bad it is in Western gaming, JRPG comes closest.

Eh as batman said he just chose not to save him. Which is still out of character
He chose not to save him from the trainwreck that he caused, yeah. I get what the writers were going for--Ra's sacrificed sure footing for a killing stroke, which is a cool little plot thing, but even then, in the earlier scene that it was referencing, Ra's didn't just leave Bruce to freeze to death after knocking the ground out from under him, lol. I mean, I guess Bruce might have pulled himself out but still.

Well, there was the ending of Batman Begins. He didn't even give Ra's a choice. Of course, that was an open and shut case; despite what he says, he absolutely killed Ra's.

Pretty sure it was common in DC media for a lot longer. One of their best animated movies imo is about the multiverse. It's called crisis on infinite earth's.

The concept is foe every decision made a alternate universe is created where the opposite happens resulting in infinite universes. The villain feels this makes any decision utterly meaningless as the opposite is gonna happenelsewhere. So hebfeels the only decision that can actually carry weight is to destroy the entire multiverse. He gets so close that batman breaks his no kill tule
That was actually the rare exception where it worked. Mostly because they kept it at two and made them different in clearly defined ways.

But no, he doesn't break the rule. He gives Owlman the choice to live or die, and Owlman decides it doesn't matter. Or at least, that Owlman decides it doesn't matter. It's kind of a plot hole, but it makes for a cool ending anyway.

This is actually a lot more clever than it appears at first glance, especially out of context. The guy with the magnet on his head is suspicious of Lex already, since Wally has been doing a terrible job impersonating him. Wally/Lex actually went in there to get a moment to think and/or try to contact the Watchtower instead of to actually use the restroom. Naturally, since he didn't actually use the restroom, Wally decides to just leave without thinking of washing his hands, which magnethead notices and pieces together what it means. So the question wasn't a legit hygiene question; he's indirectly saying "you and I both know you're hiding something."

But Wally's counter caught him so off guard that now he doesn't know what to think/do, lol.

There are still people who reject the heliocentric model...and it's not for scientific reasons but because the bible says the earth is the center of the universe, aka Geocentric model. Technically, you can make the earth the "center" of the universe if you believe there is nothing at the center of the universe, because then you can make any point of the universe the center of it.
The Bible doesn't say that.

It speaks about the sun through human perspective, in the same way you or I would, but it never says the Earth is the center of the universe.

Suddenly going from Earth being the most important thing in the universe to being a not-even-mentionworthy speck near the sun is pretty intense.

Like, it's not even just that Earth isn't the center, but, that its mass is 0.0003% of the sun's. Jupiter could fall into the sun and the sun wouldn't notice, but also the Earth could fall into Jupiter and Jupiter wouldn't notice.

Like some people living in the Jovian equivalent of Russia would be like what the hell was that and upload their dashcams to Jupetube and notice that their windows broke, but everyone elee would be like "huh wow interesting" but still go to work.
