| Topic | A "Worthwhile" upgrade for the Galaxy S9? |
| ellis123 03/30/23 2:05:57 PM #5 | I have generally been happier with Pixel over Galaxy, but I have to preface it with my having used Pixel pretty much since it has been a thing (though not every version) where I barely used Galaxy (one phone + vicariously through people I know). Overall I find Pixel is reliable as a phone brand, but inconsistent as to whether or not the phone is actually better than Galaxy in terms of specs/performance. It seems to mostly flip-flop around, so you should look at whether or not the Pixel is ahead this generation or if it's Galaxy (if it's something that really matters, of course). I prefer Pixel's UI and layout, but that's more of a personal thing. Otherwise I haven't experienced any major bugs/glitches on Pixel, which isn't true for Galaxy. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome? Thweeet!"

| Topic | Joel/ Ellie in Resident Evil 4... Do they survive? |
| ellis123 03/29/23 11:34:57 PM #61 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Master Chief is the exception? Like, Doom Guy doesn't get to count for FPS'? Marcus Fenix doesn't get to count for third-person shooters? What? Heck, Max Payne is based on John Woo films and is an homage to kung fu stuffs, hardly a standard way to view the "average American protag", Lara Croft and Nathan Drake hardly have anywhere near something that could be considered superhuman outside of gameplay bits (or random plot McGuffins that absolutely have no business being counted as "part of their character"), etc. Jason Brody isn't even from an American studio, wtf are you doing even bringing him up for? Also, you've switched your argument entirely. Japan definitely has special chosen ones up the wazoo, but they rarely fall into the "genetically modified" affair. Certainly Snake could fall into that bit, but he is rightfully put in the "emulating American media" pile. By comparison you more have Link, does superhuman stuff due to being destined to have the Triforce, Sonic, does superhuman stuff because he really likes chili dogs (well, because of several different things based on which era... but certainly not because of genetic modification ~.~), or literally every isekai protagonist. Similarly I am not saying that American studios don't use plenty of non-"special" protags, just that Japan makes a massive majority of the characters that explicitly do very superhuman things. Something where the MC is considerably more grounded and not capable of jumping up a skyscraper, such as the majority of MGS, is what I'm saying that they lack, not that America doesn't do "zero to hero" stories (or whatever you seem to think I'm trying to say). Even in something like Halo Master Chief absolutely doesn't jump up a giant building in the way that, say, Sora does. His most superhuman feats basically are just "has a super suit" and while they are certainly superhuman he is far less powerful than Mario in literally every way in terms of what both have been shown to do. The fact that that is the case should hopefully make it kind of apparent wtf I'm talking about: the fact that a super soldier in a super suit is less strong/athletic/etc. than a fat Italian plumber. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

| Topic | Joel/ Ellie in Resident Evil 4... Do they survive? |
| ellis123 03/29/23 10:39:26 PM #48 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] The answer is simple: because it is dramatically more flagrant in Japanese media than it is everywhere else. In America you get big bulky men doing macho crap with explosions everywhere (thus post RE4 being more "American" in your other post: it has more explosions... that's it). It, however, has nothing to do with characters being excessively over the top in completely inhuman ways. Let's take Halo as a good example. In it you play as super macho man Master Chief. He is in a super cyber suit that he is the only one left alive that can even wear it because everyone else is dead. Super edgy crap. That, however, is all relatively explained and is superhuman in a very standard term. Compared to the *insert anime here* protagonist being a teenager with no training and whatnot being able to jump like OG Superman on the fly it feels extremely grounded. And that's ignoring the fact that a major reason for the augmentation in Halo was to allow for surviving the blunt force trauma that an average Shonen protagonist has to deal with every episode multiples of times. There is certainly the existence of characters that live and die off of the Rule of Cool elsewhere, comic books are a good example there, but the overwhelming majority of Japanese/imitating Japanese media are heavily based around characters with the most vague of threads to power doing stuff out of Warhammer. Even supposedly extremely grounded things that shouldn't really have characters even needing superhuman whatever end up doing stuff that is pretty questionable sheerly because it is just completely normalized. *Every* character can jump at least their height, a person's emotions are enough to shrug off a bat to the head, etc. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] No, the trope is that you play as a badass super soldier, alien with superpowers, or someone who absolutely is very much not a normal person. Like, the "regular person who is actually superhuman" is practically the opposite of "Americanized." Otherwise basically no major media anything would apply to what you're talking about. Certainly it would exist, but when you basically have to write off every FPS, every action game, and, like, half of the RPGs the basis for what you're talking about is super suspect. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

| ellis123 03/29/23 9:44:27 PM #33 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Ye.

| ellis123 03/29/23 9:38:10 PM #30 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] That's Japanese content in general. Everyone involved does absurd feats of strength period. That was actually one of the changes in Trigun to Stampede. In the original the rest of the cast never really does anything superhuman and even make remarks about how in-human Vash was. Because superhuman feats were completely normalized by the remake, however, not only do the characters not make remarks they also do superhuman feats (just to a lesser extent). --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

| ellis123 03/29/23 9:14:44 PM #18 | KeeperOfShadows posted... Depends who you ask. There are some anime fans who hate yuri with a passion, but most who are actually into it tend to prefer when the girls actually get together. Ironically, they tend to get irrationally angry if the lesbians are only implied, or just don't turn out to be lesbians at all (like the Lycoris Recoil example above).I am not saying that literally everyone follows what I said. *I* don't follow what I said. It's just the reason that lesbian pairings almost exclusively being minor fan service before either going nowhere or "just not existing." The existence of people feeling the opposite doesn't change this from being the reason. It's also why when gay pairs happen they almost entirely always are overtly gay: the pairing happens because the writer actually wants them to be together (though it can end in tragedy), not because they are doing bottom rung fanservice like it is with lesbian pairs. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

They're as natural to hundreds of otherwise humanoid fantasy characters as they are to anything that actually exists, so you can't always say that they're animal in nature what you're talking about another fictional character.I mean, everything involved is an animal. We make the distinction for hairless monkey-like creatures because we happen to be one. In either case I said non-human, so my comment stands unchallenged. Making the point that suddenly loads of fantasy creatures apply isn't exactly challenging it either.
