| The_Ivory_Man 03/23/20 5:27:29 PM #11 | A lot of the comic strength people are pretty fast too. Hulk can cover miles in seconds, and remember that Hulk does stuff like catch up to missiles in flight, or catching and throwing mid-flight tan shells. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

| The_Ivory_Man 03/22/20 8:05:52 PM #30 | Tenlaar posted... Wasn't one of the rangers in Return of the King black? I recall being like "woah, a black person" when I saw it. Yep. There were black people, just really far south. MorbidFaithless posted... This is what kills me. Y'all reading books about wizards and elves and magic. But dark skinned people are unfathomable. If somebody made a film depicting a fantasy version of 300 BC Japan and the local Lord was a blonde blue eyes dude you wouldn't find that strange at all? Wouldn't pull you out of the movie at all? It's not like other races don't exist in Tolkien mythology, and again a North African people are a huge part of it. Feetish posted... The orcs were black. How are the Orcs black? The Elves are clearly Scandanavian based and the Orcs are from them. scar the 1 posted... It is perfectly possible for a racist to write a non racist character. That said, I don't know if Tolkien was a racist or not. My point is that it wouldn't be at all unlikely if he had opinions that would be considered racist or problematic today. Tolkien didn't display any racist attitudes, he flat out wrote letters to the Nazis tells them he wished he had heritage from the proud Jewish people. scar the 1 posted... Wasn't Tolkien a white guy born in South Africa? He was British, just born somewhere else. He spent all of his schooling years in Britain. And so what every comic book creator is a racist now? --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

I still enjoyed what it did over GTAV, and I didn't think Sleeping Dogs was a great game (which I said in the above post) I'd take Sleeping Dogs mediocre combat over GTA's sloppy combat any day of the week. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

| The_Ivory_Man 03/22/20 10:45:27 AM #21 | I didn't think Sleeping Dogs was fantastic but I probably liked it over GTAV. Frankly I don't get why people like it that much, the game's plot and characters aren't good and the humor is really poor. The gameplay isn't anything to write about and they don't really do anything groundbreaking in terms of content. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

| Topic | Is it the same Link in every Zelda game? |
| The_Ivory_Man 03/13/20 7:38:52 PM #14 | YellowMustard69 posted... I see every game as its own retelling of a story about Link saving Hyrule and Zelda from Gannon. There's no reason to expend mental energy figuring out if he is reincarnated or if the story from each game is connected. Certain Zelda games are directly connected though. Child Link calls the Hyrule police on Gannondorf at the end of OoT and Navi (his fairy) leaves him, Majora's Mask picks up with Link searching for Navi after the events of OoT. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

| The_Ivory_Man 03/13/20 7:28:03 PM #10 | BeyondWalls posted... Are you guys just making this up or is it actually said in game somewhere? There is a "timeline" But really only some of the games work on there, and the rest kind of get slapped wherever. The timeline split with OoT>MM>TP And OoT>WW>PH>ST Is pretty explicit though. And then you have like Skyward Sword being a sort of origin game. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

| The_Ivory_Man 03/13/20 7:02:45 PM #7 | Zikten posted... I think it might be the same soul. but it's different lives. I think he gets reincarnated over and over Not the case for every game, but this is typically the case But there are direct sequels like OoT>MM or WW>PH where you are the same Link. Games where descendants are used like TP (I believe this is the only game where a previous Hero Link interacts with the new Protagonist Link) Or even things like Four Swords. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

| Topic | So the TRoS novel invalidates Anakin's chosen one status |
| The_Ivory_Man 03/05/20 7:21:17 PM #74 | Darmik posted... George's plan for the Sequel Trilogy was to explain the Force as being tiny little creates called Whills. Which wasn't foreshadowed anywhere else before. So no he made it up as he went along as well. But you do get more consistency when it's one person on the wheel which is what the ST lacked in which they treated it more like a relay. Might want to rewatch the prequels there. The Whills are said to be an ancient force order that predates the Jedi. RchHomieQuanChi posted... Nobody had an issue with this in the old EU when something very similar to this happened. Tons of people did, even other EU writers were writing pieces on why it was a bad idea. codey posted... It's not whataboutism. People are acting like Disney killed the end of Ep. 6, when the EU did it a long time ago. People may not have liked it then, but it doesn't change the fact that that's where Disney got the idea from. "X idea is shit" "Well uh Y did X idea first so there!" Why does it matter? People hated it there too, what's the point of bringing it up other than as a deflection? --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

Other EU writers were criticizing the decision, and this was before the prequels came out even. It was always a disliked thing. So why would Disney bring in so much disliked stuff.

Okay, so he was outed as gay after a psychic read his mind and told him he was gay -- after years of having exclusively female love interests. It's clumsy, it's hamfisted, it's retroactive. It's shit. He was "outed" after talking about how hot a girl was while Jean Grey got jealous since he didn't find her attractive and then sprung that on. It has very wrong undertones, and continuing to push it doesn't look good. And if you do want to count retconned sexuality Wonder Woman is a far more well known character who has been said to be bi now. Why not actually push one of the many good gay characters more to the forefront, you mention Midnighter in a "haha nobody cares" but if bloodthirsty monster hunter Batman who demolishes his opponents got a film appearance, people would love that character. Why not use the good characters instead of a shitty retcon? --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

| Topic | dragon ball super is fucking garbage |
| The_Ivory_Man 02/22/20 6:28:29 PM #54 | It's definitely iffy. And the animation, while improving over the course of it. Still had problems in the later arcs. Remaking the two movies was a mistake, the U6 Tournament is fun for me personally and Hit is a really fun character, but stuff with Piccolo and Buu sucks. The Black/Zamasu arc is fine but falls flat near the end, having a like Reverse Flash style villain is fine and Zamasu's over the top speeches are still enjoyable. The Tournament of Power is a mixed bag, some characters like Roshi, Frieza or Android 17 have great comebacks, but then Tien was treated horribly and the new characters are the same way, while Toppo is a stand out new character for a number of reasons, Jiren falls flat and never manages to be interesting, despite the antagonists in Dragon Ball typically being pretty memorable. Super's filler also has a lot of strong episodes over the course of it, Vegeta trying to make an omelette for Whis, the baseball episode, and Goku's rematch with Hit were all well done. It's certainly a drop off from the original, and DBZ. But I do find it more enjoyable than DBGT (which really magnifies most of Super's faults, but doesn't have as many bad animation bits from what I remember) --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan |

The Bakers are nowhere near as funny for that reason, it's far too self aware and none of them leave a lasting impact, just bland swamp people. Wesker tries so hard to be serious but everything he does is stupid so it creates this very entertaining performance.
