In the Filmation series, Teela's recklessness and ill-temper in situations that she does not agree with often lead to poor judgment, which results in risky situations. Unaware of Adam's dual-identity and duties that go with it, Teela often scolds him for being work-shy, fearful and unattentive to his training.

Source: Grayskull wiki

And it's been a long time for me, but I seem to recall every so often that Teela would be suspicious of the Adam/He-Man dynamic, but it never actually led anywhere.

For me the reason for Teela abandoning everyone she knew was pretty unbelievable, but then I never really watched the original series so idk the backstory much.

Well that was predicated on Randor getting really mad and banish-y after, admittedly, learning about the death of his son, being unaware of his double life, and learning that his wife knew. He kicked Duncan (Teela's adopted father) out of the country and basically the entire team fell apart. Teela lost her best friend who was also lying to her, felt super betrayed and that was it.

It's heavy, but not out of the question, and it's meant to kick off the main plot anyway.

Were people really mad about Brave, because it wasn't about what the trailers led people to believe?

Well don't forget that Brave was a new property, not a decades-old franchise that built up a posse of purist fans who "know" how the media is "supposed to go".

People also forget that we've seen half of the series to far. There are going to be five more episodes, and Adam is most definitely alive at the end of the fifth.

In regards to the blacked out piece: they kill him twice.

Anyone who says this is most definitely looking to twist facts to suit their argument.

Uh, where _is_ Kiryu's home? Have we ever seen it?

He lives on top of the gate to Tenkaichi St. Little sleeping bag up there.

You mentioned before about the game being weird with urgency in the main plot, but you could still do anything you wanted to. I think that's an artifact of it being a remake of the first game. Future games in the series are better about cutting off your ability to explore when things are serious and urgent.

Also in the first game on PS2, you couldn't explore once you began the final chapter, because it automatically threw you into the big fight leading up to Millennium Tower. It's so weird how you actually have to initiate it and that's when all the bad guys decide to show up.

Given all the other awful dialogue in the PT, I'm surprised it gained so much groundswell.

Maybe it was the way Anakin was looking at the time.

I wonder if the correct response is to just have your phone out and camera running pointed at the cops as they approach, like up on your dash pointed out the driver side.

I've beat the first and am I'd say a good two-thirds into the second.

I was prepared for the general plot of these games to show their age. They were visual novels made in the 80s, back when all video games were new and the genre hadn't solidified. I'm fine with them being hokey, the twists being pretty obvious, and so forth.

What I'm not fine with is the gameplay being such a slog of trial and error.

For those of you who have played games like Phoenix Wright or others that involve detective-style investigation and interviewing, you're probably familiar with the concept of just clicking on dialogue to exhaust it so you get the go ahead to continue on with the story.

This is kind of in FDC as well. You're given a list of actions, and from there, typically a sublist for each one. For example, if you're talking to a person, you can select "Talk" and then the subject "Ask about murder". There are also several others, like the average "Look/Examine", one called "Call/Engage", which is typically used for talking to two different people in a scene, and some other ones like "Think" and "Remember".

The problem is the game wants you to follow a pretty specific path and not deviate from it. Therefore, sometimes you can ask someone about a topic, they'll have nothing to say, but they will AFTER you've asked them about another topic. Sometimes you have to ask them about a particular topic multiple times, and one or twice this required my character to essentially be badgering the person they were talking to until they finally spilled.

Also there's no obvious rhythm to it most of the time. Every once in a while you'll get a "Ask about murder" and they'll mention "Carl" so then you know to "Ask about Carl" but most of the time you just have to exhaust all topics, then hit the vague "What they know" topic and they'll be like "Oh I forgot! I meant to tell you about this suddenly important thing that just happened!" Then once you do that, you go through all the topics AGAIN to pick up anything.

I've been in scenes where I literally have to go into a faculty lounge at a school and waste time exhausting all the dialogue with a teacher in there and learning NOTHING about the case before the actually important person to the case walks in, then I can go talk to them, listen to them be evasive, and then leave, and realize I've accomplished absolutely nothing on this trip.

This is not to say the game gives you no hints. When new topics or actions are added to the menu, they're in yellow text, but if the topic/action already existed in the list, there's no indication which way you need to go. I just wish they used that yellow text throughout for marking anything that might be important to bring up so I'm not just going over and over again.

Still the graphics look gorgeous, and the sound design and voice acting are on point.

It sadly has been for a long time if not always but Im saying it never should have been. Accepting people should be good manners, not something on the balot. You don't see arguments over 'please & thank you' or keeping your elbows off the table. We should argue about taxes instead of civil rights because rights should be obvious.

Yet here we are. This is the world we're living in.

This is pretty helpful thanks guys. Is there like four guardians though? Like I started it and they showed He Man, this green tiger monster, some wizard, and like a guy with a weird hat. Are they like powerful guardians like He Man?

I'm pretty sure most episodes ended with He-Man saving the day while his pals made a token effort.

He-Man and Skeletor are an order of magnitude more powerful than anyone else in the franchise.

is that enough?

Yeah I guess that's pretty much it. Perhaps I should reword my response in that if you have the vaguest idea what He-Man is, you should be fine.

It does require a connection to the old show, even if it's very faint and you barely remember it apart from some clips, commercials, and toys.

since when are things like racism and abuse of authority political things?

I mean the cynic in me says "since a major political wing decided they were for them instead of against them", but then, there's always been a political arm that's been for them.

---

CyricZ He/him

Yeah having read through Antiracist Baby it feels less like an actual tale for kids and more of a guideline for people who understand more advanced concepts, but presented in the medium of a child's book, and thus guidelines on how to raise one's children to be antiracist.

That makes sense. The average trump supporter would definitely struggle to differentiate between elephants and birds. If you show donald trump a picture of an elephant and like a dozen bird pictures and ask him to determine which is the elephant, he would probably point to a lampshade on the other side of the room...

He would tell you how it's a violation against HIPAA to force him to answer that question.

I was going to inform you on the situation.

How nice of you to just presume someone's intentions in a way that benefits your side of the argument.

You must be new to GameFAQs, otherwise you'd know that "being serious up to a point where they have no argument and then claiming it was all a joke" happens quite a bit in these kinds of discussions.

uhh i think it's mostly the fact that he's been under investigation for the same thing before and kicked off his college team for it, and also the fact that historically speaking, ivy league college athletics tend to have a "boy's club" sort of culture where behavior like this is usually downplayed or shrugged off, and people like him tend to not be forced to face any real consequences for their actions.

Oh absolutely. I'm right with you there.

I just found some people in this topic who will decide that such things aren't worth believing, and that very specifically a conviction is required before deducing he's a bad actor who shouldn't be considered a good representative of his nation in a global games.

Like a conviction is some kind of magical switch that makes him guilty by fact.

"If it's also okay to tell them... it's okay... they shouldn't be satisfied"

I feel this is where I'm confused on the sentence, the middle "it's okay". I'm not pretending. I'm literally asking you to word your sentence in a way that makes sense.

Did you mean to say "if it's also okay to tell them that they shouldn't be satisfied"?

It can't be immoral to tell children it's ok to be the way they naturally are if it's also ok to tell them it's ok they shouldn't be satisfied with the way they're born.

First, would you like to retry the bolded part? It's a grammatic nightmare.

Secondly, what element of that is a contradiction? I'm guessing what you meant to say is "It's okay to be who you are" and "it's okay to not be satisfied with you are" are contradictory?

Poor He-Man got the shaft in his own show.

Remember this is one half of a season that's been released. Adam could easily be prominently featured in the rest of it.

Not that I especially care. I think it's fine if the "solve everything" function of the show were eliminated. Makes it more interesting to watch.
