As soon as I saw the concept art of WandaVision it had my full attention, and that teaser didn't disappoint. F&WS looks good too. Might have to actually get on board with this whole Disney+ thing at some point.

I hardly ever agree with Darmik on anything but I'm with him on this. Unfair just doesn't seem to understand what Roleplaying is at it's core.

UR understands one thing perfectly: most people are smart enough at this point to ignore someone claiming FO3 is better than NV. But saying FO3 <i>and</i> FO4 are better? That's guaranteed to get UR some sweet delicious attention.

I haven't watched either in years, but I have to go with Alien. Aliens is excellent once it gets going, but I happened to catch the first half-hour on tv a few months ago and was surprised at how long it takes to get to that point; imo this slow of a buildup doesn't work as well in a sequel, when you as the audience are already familiar with the threat.

...it scares you?

Personally, I grew up watching a 50 Greatest Cartoons VHS that had a lot of cartoons from the era of animation Cuphead emulates; many of them are equal parts 'children's entertainment' and 'frighten the little bastards into obedience.' Those old cartoons had a unique creepiness when they chose to go dark - huge devilish grins / glowing eyes, scratchy audio, haunting bass quartet vocals, things like that.

I wouldn't say Cuphead directly exudes this feeling, but it can conjure up subtle memories of such things if you're familiar with the old cartoons.

vaan and penelo are overhated. they're pretty basic and are just kinda there...but that's it. there's a least a whole tier of badness below characters like vaan and penelo.

At one point I agreed on both counts, and I still agree about Penelo. But on my last playthrough of XII it really sunk in for me that Vaan is genuinely bad. His presence and dialogue are both forced and irritating, to the point where the equally-forced acknowledgement of his overstayed presence by real main characters Balthier and Ashe almost feels like a meta-commentary at times ('oh yeah, by the way...I guess you should have my ship if something happens to me, seeing as how you're the eager apprentice by default.'). But I could look past all of this if Vaan sold himself with even an ounce of personality. He has all of the bad qualities of Tidus, but none of his endearing enthusiasm or personal arc payoff.

EDIT the most hilarious thing about Vaan's character for me is that the only time he shows a hint of personality is when he appears in FF Tactics A2, and even then he's merely hamming it up as a Diet Coke version of Balthier.

Since we're throwing other celebrities in the mix here, I'd like to remind everyone that nothing beats Elvis. His death was so shocking and depressing that people to this day still carry on the running joke that he never really died (bonus points for his name being an anagram of 'lives'), not to mention the spawning of an entire subculture of dedicated impersonators.

Ashe is the main character of that game, I don't care what anyone says.

Balthier is the real main character - best lines, best personality, best character growth, most actual impact on the story. Ashe's entire arc boils down to the burning question of whether or not she'll use the magical equivalent of atomic warfare to smite her enemies. Shockingly...she doesn't.

Robo from Chrono Trigger comes to mind: his friends turn on him, beat his ass, and have to be destroyed; has to destroy his girlfriend, creator, and shut down further manufacture of his own kind; labors alone and friendless for 400 years to regrow a forest and still gets second billing to the human who inspired the idea; finally, while he technically has a happy ending, he does have to put on a brave face and step into a future in which he may very well no longer exist.

Wakka is great.
He also ends up pretty OP and while I didn't like Blitzball first, I'm glad his crest/sigil thing made me give it another go because I ended up liking it.

Dunno if he's been topped since then, but at the time of FFX's release his maxed Attack Reels (with break damage limit and proper leveling) was the most powerful attack in franchise history, dealing just shy of 1,200,000 damage.

D. There's plenty of characters worse than Wakka (I actually think Wakka's quite good, being considerably more layered than your average meathead sidekick), but Vaan takes the cake for me; he actively brings his game down while contributing little to nothing positive to it. He's a Raiden who did actual damage to his respective game. Incidentally, I never get the equal levels of hate for Penelo, who is benign at worst.

I think TC was banking exclusively on the whole 'Wakka started out as a racist!' angle to get a bunch of Confirms.

The actual quote was:

It's obvious he was talking about inventors as a whole and not that Thomas Edison specifically invented the wheel.

Thank you, this sounds so much more intelligent in-context.
