For me, that doesn't matter so much as the lack of appearances. He is so disjointed in his presentation. I can understand a week here or there for someone, more if you're a jobber with no push. But you should at least get a backstage appearance if you're not on the show. The lack of momentum demonstrates to an audience that no one cares about Almas as an actual valuable component of the show. If his only appearances in the last six months have been a biweekly appearance in a functional qualifier match of some sort, then he's a jobber that doesn't matter.

I mean he is essentially the Essa Rios to Zelina Vegas Lita.

He is basically a jobber.

Should he fight Tyler Breeze I would assume Breeze was going to win.

Right, this is kind of how I feel about him at this point as well. And the discussion is centering around whether he's being pushed or not, so I think it's fair to point out that it's an important role in a weekly wrestling show but still not a real push.

Here's how you know Almas isn't being used right.

He went months without an appearance.

You can get people over in losses. You just, you know, need to have them actually appear.

Also I dont see how cuckolded applies <_<

He acts as though he is not worthy of her I.e. he as a corollary likely believes someone else is.

I... really don't get that vibe from any of his appearances.

Wow, you really ripped through that.

I will make a note about the Kyle Rayner week. I was actually planning a weird week where I pulled an old JLA storyline out that featured Kyle in an important role, but I may save that for a K-Ray Day.

I get the feeling that the prologue must have done just enough to really draw you into the story, and I'm glad of it!

6. Action Movie Characters
The most bombastic and action-packed fighting game that could be on the market. Filled with plenty of exploding buildings and terrorist plots.

Projected Roster:
John McClane, Ellen Ripley, James Bond, Sarah Connor, Indiana Jones, Han Solo, Ethan Hunt, The Bride, Terminator, Martin Riggs, Neo, Snake Plissken, Dirty Harry, Katniss Everdeen, Mad Max, Rambo, Jason Bourne, Man With No Name, Imperator Furiosa, T-1000

I feel like this game would have a lot of overlap in moveset.

Deathwing (Team Titans)
a.k.a. the second most ridiculous '90s DC character

Rating: 64 out of 100

I love the concept of Deathwing, and with the right artist in front of the character, I think the design can be excellent. The idea of an alternate reality spilling all of its embarassing secrets right into the middle of a long-established continuity-heavy world is fantastic, and I can't think of an example before this one in comics. Deathwing is actually a character concept I would love to play around with if I ever had the chance to write a Titans title. I think the potential is there. The execution was not well-handled, but I can't fault the overall construction of the character.

Link (Zelda)

Rating: 89 out of 100

Link is partially a player window into a game world, something that I think is hard to accomplish across multiple generations without massive overhauling. I think it's a testament to the creators and designers of Zelda games that this system continues to appeal thirty years in. But Link is also a legend of folklore that most of us want to believe. The once and future king. The hero that rises in the time of crisis. Link is an antibody response to the illness of Ganon as it rearises and spreads across the Land of Hyrule. One of my favorite concepts is to take a natural archetype and say, "There is a reason this is an archetype" right in the middle of the story. Link is unabashedly party to that sort of storytelling. Legend of Zelda is about Link because the story needs a hero both in the story and of the story and for the story. On multiple levels, the concept of Link, the concept of you as a player, the concept of a savior, recurs because it's the natural function of Hyrule and a natural function of longterm storytelling. I love it.

A great character without enough substance. He's flash. He's style. He's Keanu Reeves putting a little bit of spin on a bland concept and making it pop with a little bit of cold brutality.

Frasier Crane

Rating: 81 out of 100

Frasier is actually a tough character to rate because he has evolved a lot over the what? 20 seasons of TV he was on. But at the same time, there was a level of two-dimensional sitcom safety attached to Cheers and (to a lesser extent) Frasier that I think held him back from having the sort of emotional connections that I had with characters like Michael Scott or Chris Traeger on less traditional sitcoms. I think that his personality is such a burst of color and flavor though that he stands as extremely unique and utterly memorable. That's probably all due to KG's masterful performance.

I mean... again, they aren't meant to be write-ups. They're literally an attempt to take a Fallout 3 character and produce their dialogue in a way that makes it seem like they're literally part of the movie. Can you honestly disagree that anyone from my jokes were not as if they were part of the movie?

All 40 of your write-ups for the sci-fi project were parodies?

That explains so much!

Okay, that's mean, KBM.

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

I mean, did hyperspace tech actually improve? Because there was mention in one of the old books of some legend of someone hyperspace jumping into a planet or something and blowing it the fuck up.

It feels like a "life hack" to me more than anything.

I think it's a cool moment that is just betrayed by the movie because the movie is very busy trying to break every Star Wars convention at once, so it becomes easy to pile on top of this moment as well because breaking convention starts to lose its luster when you do it too much.

I think for a lot of people, they smack of War's write-ups for... Disney or Dreamworks? And I hated that concept because when I want to read peoples' opinions, I want to read peoples' opinions. I did ask about the one ranking because it seemed so out of left field, but it's asking a lot of people to go out of their way each time to say, "please provide us real answers" because there have been certain attitudes from ussers in the past that have caused a lot of us to be cautious of attempting to confront someone on their opinions in these rankings.

WickIebee posted...

Maybe I shouldn't do these projects at all. I do write-ups everyone bitches at me for the content, I don't do write-ups and people don't even read my goddamn opening post that straight up says you can ask for something if it really concerns you to know my opinion. I have write-ups for every movie, I don't like submitting them since I just become the ass of anyone's joke whenever I type.

You had an unusual perspective that made you of interest to people. Guess what? I've never been in that position. People would much rather talk to someone who is weird and out there and makes no bones about their position. People actually wanted to talk to you about you and you decided to say, "Hey, I have a good thing going so let me do my level worst to make write-ups no one will get. And not only not get, but also be so unimpressed with that they will try not to even say a word about it because of just how unimpressed they are." It's a very "this is what people DON'T like about Board 8 attitude." I think people watch these movies so they can glean a little bit of insight on themselves and the other people in this group. While I love humor, while I love the idea of doing something unique, I think there's a fine line between having a gimmick and being consumed by it. I did a gimmick on Karo's list, but at the same time I made sure that I shared my actual thoughts because I respect not only the effort the group made to participate, but also Karo's effort to curate and host a list. This mini-list almost smacks of not mattering simply because you gave what READS as low effort joke material.

Again, War did this years ago and everyone really detested it after about 2 write-ups.

Jerry (Tom and Jerry)

Rating: 25 out of 100

A Mary Sue sort of character, I never found myself thinking of Jerry as interesting or enjoyable in any way. I relate to the story of perennial second banana fuck-up Tom. I feel his plight and can understand his position. Jerry has X-Pac heat with me. I never want to see him succeed because he's built on success. He's kind of an unentertaining asshole.

The Happy Mask Salesman (Majoras Mask)

Rating: 71/100

For a fairly minor character in the Zelda mythos with not much screentime, this guy really lands a striking impression. The pinched face and squeezed eyes convey to me a pained person hiding behind a mask of their own, an emotional wall that only is rarely breached. The sight of his anger in the Clock Tower is something that has always stuck with me because it was a rare moment of unbridled honest emotion conveyed in a very dark and mature way in the Zelda series. Zelda has always been a series that I think hides a lot of complexity behind its fairy tale nature, and HMS is a good example of this subtle depth.

Sheva Alomar (Resident evil 5)

Rating: 73 out of 100

I think Sheva scores extremely well in spite of a fairly lukewarm playing experience embodied in Resident Evil 5. Sheva is a character that I'd like to see portrayed in a different medium before I really go all in on my opinion; the RE5 experience just seems like it demands a cinematic expression rather than a gaming one.

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

I'm not saying it's as drastic of a change as some others are suggesting, but I think that people watching a movie with other people definitely are affected by it. Charon and Genny always seem to be affected by each other in their write-ups. How much? I think Charon has the ability to bring Genny's impression of a movie down by his general indifference or dislike of a movie. For me, I saw that in the Moon ranking where she didn't say a single negative thing about the film and yet still ranked it at about the exact same placement of Charon. Is that bad? No. It's just the nature of things. If Travis said, "Father, I am moved by the plight of Mr. James" during 12 Monkeys, I think you would have maybe given the film an even higher placement because you might have just thought about it a bit more. And a couple of the more cognitive films where Travis is doing something else, I think you maybe didn't care for them AS much because, as a father, you are influenced by your child. I see it in other parents with young children too.

Like, does that change my opinion of your, erm, opinions? Not really. Your experience is different and valuable to me in the way that other peoples' write-ups are. I don't like to be as cynically critical as Karo is about movies because I enjoy happiness in my life and I want to find the value in a movie. But Karo's heavily critical nature is nice because there are times where I probably over-romanticize a movie. I love to put characters and films on pedestals because to me that makes the world a happier, grander place. Karo doesn't. So sometimes it's probably prudent for me to read someone pounding the dirt in anger.
---

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

I don't think you're not watching or anything so sinister. I'm just saying that I think his attitude influences your write-ups sometimes. If Travis had sat wide-eyed in wonderment during 2001, I bet you would have been a little softer on it.
