Lurker > CyricZ

I do admit we got off the main thread of the topic which is shitting on Kevin Smith.

My apologies for contributing to that deviation.

Aaaand there it is. The last line of defense you could take to deflect from the horrible fate of being wrong about a single aspect of a show's writing. You got enough karma, Cyric. Just say it. Get it out of your system.

I don't recall being the one to give up on the search to prove me wrong.

Because there's nothing more important.

Is there.

CyricZ He/him

Okay I'll get real.

It's painfully obvious that you've got this idea in your head about what the show is supposed to be and it was never anything more than nostalgia that existed in your head. It was a fantasy you cooked up. A better time that never actually existed. Fanfic. Headcanon. All to make yourself feel smarter for having figured out the lore and themes of a fucking commercial.

Something about this version of the franchise bothered you, and I'm putting dollars to donuts it's not respect for the lore.

But you'll never admit that.

The show having legitimate flaws does not make you "wrong" for enjoying it.

Nor are things you don't enjoy necessarily "legitimate flaws".

I'll see if I can find any examples of Adam himself doing something in the old cartoon.

You do that. I'll be playing Ace Attorney.

The Adam in this show is the Adam from the old show

Then why doesn't he have shit animation and why isn't he voiced by John Erwin?

Okay, but is his criticism of whether THIS Adam is the same as the old show's Adam right or wrong?

Does it matter if he's right or wrong? Is that all that's important?

Show me the old show's Adam. I'm largely going off my memory of him. I seem to recall the show largely paying very little attention to Adam as a separate character but I might be misremembering.

So then you believe that Adam in Revelation is accurate to his character in past media?

Adam wasn't given a character arc in this. He's a set piece designed to failure so that Teela can succeed.

Y'know for a guy who hasn't watched the latter five episodes, you seem to know a fair deal on where the entire story will go.

CyricZ He/him

So what you're saying is that Adam's character arc is already complete?

Noted "person who is still alive" Anita Bryant is not happy with her granddaughter getting married to a woman.

Anita Bryant became famous in the 1970s for spearheading an anti-gay campaign in Florida.

CyricZ He/him

I guess he was "supposed to be" but was suppressing it for reasons? If I'm understanding what's he's saying.

Which implies that Adam having rippling glutes and a giant neck makes everyone an idiot for not connecting that he's He-Man, Teela most of all.

CyricZ He/him

Kevin Smith is a product now? That's... well given the commoditizing of the workforce I can't say that's too offbase, but bleak as hell.

My problem is that they made Adam a weak beta cuck

Wasn't Prince Adam's deal that he wasn't as capable as He-Man? Or am I misinterpreting the original work?

I seem to recall that's largely what Teela had against him in the original series.

If anything I feel that the original series didn't convey that enough.

Look at this goofiness:

My headcanon is that the Yakuza universe is a parallel universe where are humans are stronger and more durable than they are here.

Kiryu is Superman but doesn't actually realize it. That's my theory, anyway. He just presumes his healing factor is his natural fighting spirit.

Lost_All_Senses posted...

Is it the company that made those claims or was it said in game or something?

It's just a prevailing meme. Kiryu has never stated outright that he won't kill, but it very much seems that the games will go out of their way to prevent Kiryu from needing to make the call, which is to say that if the enemy dies, it will either be by their own hand, or another (evil) character's.

When people think Masters of the Universe they tend to think He-Man and Skeletor.

My counter to that is ten episodes of He-Man and Skeletor fighting would be boring.

Yeah Essence of Throwing in Yakuza 4 is a cartoon lol. By Yakuza 0 they made it look at least a little more realistic and weighty.

The substories are canon

They are not in the context of how the creators meant that comment. There's basically two levels of canon. What happens in the story, and everything else (minigames, substories, business junk etc.)

I get that you're trying to be super disingenuous here, but not everything is some grand conspiracy among people who disagree with you.

There's a hot difference between "I didn't like thing" and "this was all a giant con against us!" that we are actively seeing in this topic.

The implication here is that there is an effort, in greatest secret, by Big Hollywood to make "the fans" mad.

Shocked this hasn't been posted yet

Because the conclusion at the bottom doesn't match the context of the scene. For one, neither is fully in the right or fully in the wrong. They each call a truce on it by the end of the episode and I suspect it's going to be further resolved by the end of the next five episodes.

Furthermore, Teela isn't mad at Adam for dying. She was mad at him for never confiding in her, his best friend, when he confided in others close to them. That hurt is real, and Adam dying doesn't make it better.

Also Adam didn't die "to save Teela" specifically. He died in his general universe-saving role as a champion. To put it another way, he was a soldier fighting for his country and the argument that meme is making is basically saying he's owed respect and forgiveness for doing his duty. I'm sure we've all heard stories of soldiers who hide behind their service to excuse their behavior in civilian life.

I mean, when the Right Wing Outrage Machine start complaining that a show or game is just SJWs forcing wokeness on us all, I consider that quite the accolade.

Yeah, and for He-Man of all franchises. A franchise almost entirely predicated on the big tanned blond guy with muscles solving every problem by punching and engineered to sell the toys that came first.

So the intent is to use 1-1 for the first case of the first Great Ace Attorney game in this topic? That would make 2-1 the first case of the second Great Ace Attorney game.

I'm just asking because there's already a global case marking system and wondering if "G1-1" might be a better notation.

Yeah, that was later called "Wiki" and it's what I was referring to.

And it failed hard. When you've already got Wikia well-established as a resource and a community for little fandoms to gather, and when the people who come to this site do so for the full guides, not to add little bits that are can't be curated to a collaborative effort that can be replaced or messed up at any time, what was the point? Anyone who just wanted to add little bits of info were already doing it elsewhere, and anyone who wanted more ownership was already making their own guides.

---

CyricZ He/him

Turn them off then.

One badge for me is particularly useful: "Select FAQs". It allows me to track the number of people who have positively rated my guides. Not just looked at, but also left an upvote on it.

Otherwise, welcome to any "achievement" system.

The "worst" addition to GameFAQs in my mind is the Wiki section.

You may be thinking "what Wiki section" and... exactly.
