Everyone can (or should) agree that the PT is worse, as is TRoS. However, some people have convinced themselves the movie isn't terrible or they're pulling an UnfairRepresent and that is why it needs to be thrashed harder than the rest.

Also, killing a cop in the police station doesn't exactly fit the rule of dont get caught lol.

Clyde Phillips said in an interview it was an accident though. He wasn't doing it to follow the code.

Idk if Clyde knows this but you don't just accidentally snap someone's neck, especially someone like Dexter doing it.

Doakes has strong corroborated alibis for many of the Bay Harbor Butcher killings.

And Dexter has an iron clad alibi in regards to Kurt/Matt and there were no new bodies in Iron Lake that matches the BHB mo. Dexter going down for murdering either of them or the BHB simply was not going to happen, especially with how much of a slam dunk it was with the frame job on Doakes.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

And as I've said several times now, Angela had absolutely no evidence on Dex, she had less than LaGuerta and Doakes. His decisions made absolutely no sense given what Angela "had", the intelligence Dexter has displayed throughout the series was completely dropped, and it was overall stupid.

Yeah, they are toxic in the good way that doesn't make playing the game unfun.

Enabling bad players/griefing is pretty common in this game

Didn't they stop selling new copies of their game due to their server acquisition issues? I was led to believe this is another effect of pandemic shortages.

The fun thing about this is the game population went up roughly 250% from June 2015-June 2017 and SE never once upgraded their infrastructure after boasting about record breaking numbers and increasing server queues. SHB was an even bigger explosion in population and still nothing. The semiconductor shortage is just a convenient excuse for them not upgrading earlier.

the ff14 community is incredibly toxic in a way different from wow/lol

Pray, elucidate unto me thine belligerancy once more, youth... Erstwhile, while thou hast frittered thine days away in indolence, mine own excellence hath soared higher than the peaks of Sohm Ahl, nay, to the very vaults of the heavens themselves! From the collegiate of Baldesion, to the deepest reaches of Garlemald, fifteen-score men have I lain low, with the grace and skill of chirurgeons of legend, and all the rancor of the Primals and their beastmen subjugate. Thou art yet but one more fetid soul to rend unto Oblivion. Verily, the wrath I have yet to bear upon thine personage will be found even within the tomestones of ancient Allag, so great will thine suffrance be of mine ire, that even time itself will disobey its casual flow and rescribe history forthwith; Hearken to me, cur. Thine words reach mine ears and they resolve into naught but coyness, replete of filth and ignorance. Thine puissant scribework, as grotesque as an unmasked Goblin. Pray, and speak true, dost thou truly believe thineself equal to mine own personage? Nay. Ere long, mine compatriots shall away and arrive anon to thine dwelling, fire and fury in their breasts, stell bared, and cantrip upon the ready. Thou'rt doomed, wastrel; even The Mothercrystal weeps for what shall befall thee. Nay, not even the Twelve themselves shall shelter thee from mine ardor, and even the Ascians will decry my cruelty whenceforth issued. Such will be mine wrath, that it shall bring about the true Eighth Umbral Calamity. Thy glibness hath only wrought ire and fury, and not even the Warrior of Light will be able to save you from mine. For I hath drawn forth the cards of eld, and thine fortunes spelt plain. Thou'rt fucked, churl.

I got the impression that the real goal of Ikaruga was to get high scores (by destroying enemies in threes or however it worked), not just beat the game

Which is the goal for all shmups

Ikaruga is an insanely easy shmup compared to most. It's definitely the beginners/intro shmup even on higher difficulty levels compared to other sgmups.

How tho

Dexter being ousted as the BHB only happened because of retcons of things that never happened in the original series. Weal marks are never once mentioned and something like that would've been picked up on by Lundy (who is repeatedly acknowledged as a master of catching serial killers and noticing details/patterns). Dexter also never used ketamine in the original series and Angela learns this from a fucking Google search from a non official police source. There were also no new bodies to even begin to link to the BHB and 0 evidence Dexter killed Matt or Kurt that would've held up (Dexter's fake alibi is rock solid and the handwriting on the letter would have easily been traced back to Kurt, which then opens the box of why did he have Matt's screws that were in his leg if not to frame Dexter). Him knowing about Kurt's lair is obviously a big question mark for his alibi but it was given to Angela off camera.

As for the confrontation, like I said, Harrison finally comforting Dexter makes sense, but the letter Dexter wrote Hannah basically answers many of the questions Harrison already had for Dexter. He yells at Dex saying he's nothing likes him and only kills because of his pain yet this completely ignores the fact Harrison gaslit Ethan into friendship and then planned on framing Ethan to kill him to make Harrison look like a hero. Dexter kills an innocent cop (wildly out of character) and Harrison grills him for this despite the fact Harrison attempted to murder someone he tricked into friendship to look like a hero to people. He yells about wanting to be normal but then kills his dad in cold blood to fix his pain and be normal?

Which then leads into Angela breaking character and essentially being an accomplice to murder (considering Harrison killed Dexter when he was totally defenseless [though not innocent of guilt for other crimes]) by covering up what Harrison did and and wiping his prints from the scene. This goes 100% against her morals she has displayed over the season and logically she should have arrested Harrison on the spot too. It wasn't a self defense kill, it was purely out of revenge/hatred.

Logically, Dexter being ousted as the BHB and a confrontation with Harrison in which he (rightfully) accuses Dexter of simply enjoying killing and being why he is so fucked up is the right way to go. Unfortunately, the finale handles both of those points in horrible ways.

I mean if the finale were actually terribly made then I could maybe get it, but you guys are completely losing your minds over it.

If you don't like how it went then that's fine. You can say that. It doesn't need to be the worst thing ever or pulled apart in obsessive detail like people are doing lol

It is actually terrible for numerous reasons stated. It relies on shoddy writing and bad retcons to "work", not to mention unresolved plot points and a vastly accelerated advancement of the plot for the finale. It was incredibly rushed and needed at least 2 more episodes, if not essentially a redux to S2 with a new manhunt.

I can't fathom being this upset over something lol

Are you sure you've watched the show before? Lol.

Yes, I've been rewatching the original actually. Sorry if my memory isn't 100% perfect and photographic on 15 year old content.

thronedfire2 posted...

and people are forgetting that rule #1 is "don't get caught". Killing Laguerta would have only been out of character because he hadn't ever been that close to getting caught before

The don't get caught defense doesn't exactly work as Dexter himself has stated victims must fit all the rules of the code (and yes, Dex is an unreliable narrator and a serial killer) but both the attempted murder of LaGuerta and the successful murder of Logan are example of bad, out of character writing. Again, Dex was going to turn himself in at the end of season 2 rather than kill Doakes, but since Lila fucked all that up Dex was able to use the situation to his advantage. It wasn't until after Lila murdered Doakes that Dex decided to frame him.

I will also say Clyde Phillips should have never gone on record saying New Blood would fix the original series and that the ending would break the internet

Rewatching the first few seasons today

everything after that is fan fiction and doesnt count

I don't think seasons 5 and 7 were entirely awful, mostly just 6 and 8

CADE FOSTER posted...

Aslong as this is it im ok with it if they try to spinoff with this shit actor as the new dexter fuck that

The spinoff ilhas been obvious based on the title name alone, but I expect it to be dead in the water after the overwhelmingly negative reaction to the finale.

COVxy posted...

You just don't like that Dexter died and are picking out extremely flimsy reasons to hate on it.

Especially since your criticisms existed long before the finale.

Truthfully Dexter dying was the easy way out for him, he basically wins and gets away with everything.

There are many problems with New Blood that were only multiplied with the finale.

COVxy posted...

Idk, you people act like people aren't convicted on circumstantial evidence all the time lol.

And as I've said multiple times now the circumstantial evidence only existed due to bad writing and retconning the original series.

K99 and weal marks never existed in S1-S8. Dex got beat by Google.

Dexter had a rock solid alibi about Matt, especially when it was learned Kurt burned his cabin down. He could have very easily beaten the charge on Matt and the BHB evidence is flimsy at best. There were no new bodies.

Dexter in S2: I can't kill Doakes, he's innocent, I'm gonna turn myself in (then Lila blows up Doakes)

Dexter in the finale: lol jk about killing someone innocent to protect myself with significantly less evidence compared to Doakes

and yes, Dexter killing LaGuerta was going to be wildly out of character as well

ThyCorndog posted...

It was not my favorite ending ever but I don't think it was the worst thing either. putting aside angelas flimsy evidence, dexter killing you know who was just totally random, unnecessary and breaking character tbh. if he sat tight he would've been fine

Exactly, him doing what he did was wildly out of character and never should have happened. Dex knew everything Angela had on him was flimsy at best (and again, only exists because of retcons to the original series)

Harrison: why did you abandon me, why did you hate me so much, why am I fucked up

Also Harrison: has had this letter Dexter wrote the entire time explaining everything

Dexter: ive never felt love until right before my son shoots me

COVxy posted...

Approaching this with the nuance of a typical frothing at the mouth anti-TLJ dude.

There are numerous things in the last episode alone that conflicts with previous episodes, not to mention the amount of retconning it took for Angela to figure out Dex is the BHB/simple dumb luck (her meeting Batista at a cop conference and him struggling to remember Harrison, who he was the literal godfather to).

It's objectively bad writing that relies on retcons and characters acting wildly out of character.

Angela: killers are bad and should be brought to justice

Harrison: i just killed my dad in cold blood

Angela: omg swag here's 20 bucks get out of here btw I'm going to cover up your murder

Doom_Art posted...

That was a 9/10 finale, y'all be trippin

Do TLJ apologists just have bad opinions on all media?

Google cop
Ketamine retcon
Harrison killing Dexter after screaming about how he wants to be normal and Isn't like him and showing 0 emotional response to it
Lundy being in Dexter's collateral damage montage even though his death had absolutely nothing to do with Dexter

The finale was basically another season stuffed into a 1 hr block with not nearly enough development. If Dexter just waited he wouldn't have beaten the charge and the evidence linking him to the BHB was massively circumstantial/only existed because of retcons

Would've beaten the charge*

So is anyone who hated it actually gonna give any reasons besides that was so bad?

the only thing that really bothered me wa they teased the Angel/Dexter confrontation and it didnt happen. At first I thought there was a chance of Dexter and Harrison getting away together but I knew that wasnt happening as soon as he killed Logan
