Cause Korrasami is a hard ship to like canon or not, those are just two pieces that don't naturally fit together.

Crazy thing is that she always used to reblog Korrasami artworks and stuff like after the finale.
But I guess she saw the light

She probably realized how boring that shit was after finding her lord and savior Korvira. That's the shit Jiraiya writes about right there.

Remember, this is Sasuke's Raiden. He needs to have Sharingan eyes and a Rinnegan on his forehead like combustion man
Plus a million HP
And some sort of power up when his HP gets low

Sorry if you were expecting quality feedback out of me Veelk. I liked reading your take on the story a lot. One part in particular I liked was the part about Sasuke and Naruto both achieving their dreams at the same time and dealing with the "now what". I know it's not exactly the same thing, but it reminds me of what I liked about Korra continuing after season 2. The end of season 2 just seemed like a spot where an average series would just end. Something huge and seemingly world changing happens, but we don't get to see the aftermath of it. I remember some of my friends were saying how it was weird that there was a season 3, because season 2 felt like "the end".
Though we do see the aftermath of everything in the actual series, I would have liked to see the immediate moments around Naruto becoming hokage and how he initially dealt with it.

I think we all did lol. Now I just think Zabuza is behind the scenes gay. Sasuke's Raiden needs extra arms and hand wings as well plus a curse mark and Orochimaru snakes and Itachi crows and and and...

We all got tricked, even Naruto. And I don't think it was "behind the scenes", Zabuza wore his feelings for Haku on his sleeve.

That pokemon thread got me thinking if the Avatar characters were trainers, what would they have?
Korra - Blaziken, Beartic, Steelix, Hawlucha, Milotic, and Xerneas
Bolin - Furret, Graveler, Hippowdon, and Primal Groudon
Katara - Lapras, Vaporeon, and Glaceon

*lights signal*

I think I wrote a Veelk on DmC.... A long ass time ago. I basically wrote that Donte himself is acceptable as an incarnation of Dante in terms of basic characteristics. Not better, but acceptable. However, what makes Dante as good as he is is not just himself, but also his interaction with others, and they've utterly failed to have Virgil be who he needs to be. Here is a thread explaining why Vergil is as good as he is. In DmC, it's established ahead of time that Vergil's the weaker sibling and has a very confused character arc in general. Similarly, they make Sparda just a demon that couldn't keep it in his pants, with the significance of his betrayal hinging on some bizarre universal blood technicality instead of Sparda himself. Instead, DmC focus' the romantic angle with Kat, who is pretty generic. Nothing wrong with her, I guess, but very by the numbers.at least she'll see the all the Lengendaries.

And belligerent Dante falling in love with a generic spunky girl is a far less compelling story than the one of familial rivalry (with Vergil, but also with the excellent Lady) transforming Dante DMC3 told.

You did write a DmC Veelk, I remember getting hit by that wall of text
Stories in action games are weird.
The character journey is typically shallow. DMC3 is the only one I would say has some measure of depth to it. There is legitimate depth to Dante struggling with his awakening to Justice, Vergil as his foil and struggle to gain power, and Lady's struggle with acceptance. It's is more than a solid foundation that they could have built on.
DMC1 was the actual foundation that 3 built on, but it is extremely shallow. It's oozes atmosphere however, and it's environmental storytelling is probably the most intriguing there is in the genre.
DmC is a combination of 1 and 3, obviously, but it isn't as good with either. Mundus is one very bad villain, compared to his DMC1 self who was also flat and generic, but atleast larger than life so that you atleast were intimidated by him instead of this corporate dude that fucks lilith and...ugh. And like I said, reimagining Dante's awakening to justice as a romance with Kat is pretty by the numbers.
DMC4 is an amusing disaster. Nero is just a generic shonen hero that is after his cardboard cutout love interest. Very lame. But it puts Dante in an interesting position of mentorship. He embodies the DMC veteran player, who can easily blaze through each boss with a stylish comical attitude. Whereas other DMC games have him up against something that challenges him, and while that is certainly the case with Nero, for him, it's Tuesday. However, it's casual disregard of the series mythos in several regards leaves DMC4
Bayonetta is probably the best action game character, but I would not, on any level, say is in a good story. This is a very usual statement from me because I am typically a holistic viewer. You can't have a good character unless you have good characters for them to interact with, which need a good plot, which need a good setting. Ultimately, it's all the same thing, the story itself. You can have emphasis on one or the other, but you can't neglect them and not have it affect everything else. Well, Bayonetta is like "Fuck that" and is a very intriguing character that is trapped in a very badly told story. I think it's because she's thematically intriguing, and the fact that there isn't really a character like her. If we had more female characters that use the themes that Bayonetta embodies, we'd probably not be as intrigued, but as it is, Bayonetta is doing something no one else is, and with no reference point, what can we compare it to to say it's bad?
Fuck Kratos. Search my thread history for a greater Veelk.
And Ninja Gaiden is just emptiness.
But whats weird is that all these have bizarrely in depth worldbuilding. Like, seriously, I loved NG, so I read the text explaining the world in, and while I wouldn't say it's good, it's clearly the aspect that got the most thought put in. It's really baffling, someone put in work here. Same thing with DMC1, 3 and Bayonetta. They all go in stupid amounts of depth explaining history, creatures, etc.
The Souls games seem to capitalize on this the most. I haven't played that series, so I can't give a greater depth answer to that, but given how huge the lore is fandom is, it seems the Souls Lore is the logical conclusion of someone who took action games and wrote as good a story as they could around explaining the world. The game I'm working on that will likely never be realized is based a lot around this, though the main character isn't the blank slate you get in the Souls games.
...er, which is why I think an action game is the perfect genre for an avatar story. Platinum already proved that the action mechanics could work well with Bending, but you could make it with a past Avatar, exploring a particular part of the world anew, learning about the four nations on a deeper historical scale.

You still haven't finished Bloodborne yet?
I know, I need to get back into it. I will start it up again soon, but I'm scared I forgot the small bit of skill I worked up so far. I got exams coming up this week though, one of which is in a high level class that I haven't attended once.
