Topic	THE Snake Ranks Anything Horror Related (Vol. 5) 5th Anniversary RANKINGS

Well, don't forget, I score importance on their influence in their particular media too, which can sometimes look a little inflated when compared to others. It just seems to me, as far as the medium of VNs go, Umineko is just gigantic. It sold like hotcakes, it inspired mangas, novels, an anime, a fighting game, the OST is popular, it's one of the few VNs at least to me that isn't niche and penetrated the mainstream to some extent. I suppose that's fair. I feel like it hardly had an impact outside of Japan and on the horror medium, but I guess you're moreso ranking for generalized importance. Xiahou Shake posted... Absolutely exceptional write-up on The Lighthouse! It's easily one of my favorite movies to come out in a very long time. The performances for both of the characters are downright spellbinding, and the way the staunch opening sections of the movie completely decay into insanity alongside them is a one of a kind experience. 100% concur with this and jcgamer's post. The Lighthouse has stuck with me in a way very few other movies could possibly match, including many I enjoyed more. On Badeline: I'm largely in agreement with your write-up, and I really like your thematic points. I think the key reason she's such an effective character is because of how effectively she subverts the evil doppelganger trope. Certainly, I'd say her story (that is to say, Madeline's story) needed the resolution it got, and I dare say Celeste wouldn't be half the game it is otherwise. Thus I find myself concurring most of all with Reddit user PeliPal's take that Badeline represents all that doesn't fit Madeline's ideal conception of herself. I think it's especially worth pointing out that Madeline's need to climb Celeste Mountain at the game's outset came from a distinctly unhealthy place, and she was unwilling to accept that truth at the root of Badeline's introduction. Edit: I'll comment on In the Mirror later maybe because I've been working on this post on and off all day, just awesome that you liked it so much! --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do."
