god dammit, why did i have to dream about my ex

 

[zeemumu]

There's a ghostbuster in the library. Maybe he's hunting the ghosts of the 80's that also seem to be here.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Someone who seeks justice and will attempt to not kill people unnecessarily, but will kill if he has to. Where's that hero? Are there any of those? That actually seems far more interesting

Deus Ex games let you decide how it should go. There's got to be at least one other.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

The arkham games steadily got worse over time

Nah. AA is missing tons of stuff that makes the mechanics in AC superior. The open world I'm not a fan of but everything else is tight. AO has the best story. AK looks stunning but I'd say not that much better than AC in pure gameplay.

I don't mind the tank fights because they control well but they are superfluous.

 

[Misha]

Batman is a detective and a ninja, not a tank commander god fucking damnit.

And how fuuucking convenient that all the badguy tanks are unmanned drones. All the badguys have to do is put pilots in those things and Batman is fucked

Speaking of: How come comics only seem to explore two extremes in heroes... Heroes with a "no kill code" (batman, daredevil, etc) and "antiheroes" who slaughter all the badguys (the punisher, red hood, whatever).. What about a happy medium? Someone who seeks justice and will attempt to not kill people unnecessarily, but will kill if he has to. Where's that hero? Are there any of those? That actually seems far more interesting

I'm 90% certain there are a lot of examples, and probably a lot of the same characters you assume are all goody goody

not comics by my avatar appeared to be a pragmatist type that wants the best for as many people as she could

Spoiler

till they made her do what trump wishes he could

(I screwed up the spoiler text at first so reread if it sounded like it made no sense. if it still seems like it makes no sense then well....)

I feel you brah. did they try to apologize for all the dumb shit they did? that's how much ex dreams usually go but even on dream level it's not believable so I'm always like "wat".

I don't know who your ava is and I'm not sure what trump wants.. I guess he wants to get rid of muslims and mexicans? or something?

My God, it's become a music video.

Daredevil kills. Not a lot, but he has killed when he had to. The X-Men also have quite a few murders under their belt. Particularly under Cyclops and Storms' reigns with the team. Generally only Professor X had the no killing thing. A major plotline was Psylocke fighting her enjoyment of killing and Wolverine has a LOT of murders under his record.

After my ex had an affair I had nightmares for about a year where I ended up screaming at her and crying out "how could you do this to me".

Those dreams were actually really good motivators for me when I'd be at the gym.

For some reason I picture you wearing a Tommy Wiseau wig while punching a bag and yelling "Why, Lisa, why?!"

my avatar is from legend of korra

Spoiler

She initially strong armed people into accepting her rule over them where she'd control goods and services and distribute them where necessary since the country was fractured and essentially in anarchy. It worked really well at first though some people were upset that they didn't have any choice and the situations weren't exactly good for long term private property. Eventually it turned out that she built a big wall around the country to keep out immigrants and put the rest in slave labor camps and built a super weapon to try to take over the neighboring country.

but before that last part she seemed to be the kind of person thats doing things for the benefit of others despite their wishes which is an interesting grey area


Korra on the other hand, sided with a small group of leaders who were trying to force the country to accept an incompetent monarch for seemingly no good reason

Spoiler

She was the type of leader who would disappear people, though. That was her whole deal: that it worked out on the outside but internally it was a place of horrors. Also she attempted to murder her own fiance for the chance to kill Korra.

 

[Jobbs]

I had a girlfriend I basically lived with and we both cheated on eachother

not my proudest moment

I was very young though

I think my picture of Daredevil was colored by hte Netflix series, where he actually got Elektra critically injured because he had to stop her from delivering a killing blow to a badguy

my avatar is from legend of korra. there's a lot there to unpack

doing those things could easily have been morally grey but they wanted her to be an out and out villain so the reasoning ended up being dumb

it was hard but I'm glad it happened considering where I'm at now.

If it happened again for some reason I think my brain would explode. I should bring flowers home..

it was a little of that, and also me forgiving her...and then other things

 

[Jobbs]

I was in a dysfunctional relationship and 19 years old, (and my girlfriend was 25 at the time!) surrounded by destructive people and destructive behavior. we had a pot roast on the porch for an entire summer. it was metal as hell.

when I kinda got out of the christian stuff in my late teens I went through some serious acting out

Like just a chunk of meat on the porch? did it rot. Did you lick the rot.

Spoiler

True, but then Korra would have had no reason to get involved with the plot.

 

[Misha]

wow.. isn't that a nickelodean show or something

yeah. two fo the previous villains were actually more messed up though way more black and white

Spoiler

one tried to depower everyone with powers since he had a traumatic experience when he was younger and didn't believe people could be trusted (though he turned out to be a hypocrite)

Spoiler

another was an anarchist who believed the monarchies of the time prevented individuals from having freedom and that the avatar's power was too much for one person to hold so they tried to get rid of the avatar

its disappointing though that for all of them they tried hard to make them villainous and go overboard instead of just following their ideology to something that makes sense. its like they wanted them to go and murder children or something everytime they looked sympathetic

Spoiler

also the other main villain was sorta dumb. he just wanted to basically summon their devil/cthulu/w/e

Spoiler

True, but then Korra would have had no reason to get involved with the plot.

Spoiler

she had no reason to in the first place. they retroactively justified her and especially tenzin's actions

 

[Jobbs]

Like just a chunk of meat on the porch? did it rot. Did you lick the rot.

yeah.

when I was 19-20 I lived with 2 other guys in this house with a lot of other people always coming and going. There was a fight over a pot roast once so the one guy just put it on the porch, then everyone just defiantly left it there, and it got worse and worse until maggots and stuff yeah

I'm remarkably boring now though. No girlfriend swapping or cheating or maggots or anything. I don't have any patience for nonsense.

I want to make a story where everyone's sexuality is fluid. I mean actually fluid. When they get aroused they liquify and pour themselves into an odo bucket

I'm so fried.

 

[zeemumu]

Sigh, Amon was so cool

I'm running on a stream of motivation. I need to use it up before I get lazy again.

 

[SystemBug]

My cousins name is Amon lmao

Korra was so good. Avatar the last air bender was so good

I mainly just liked the movie. fuckin ruled

Oh no I thought the movie was just simply okay but there are people who hate it. Like you know how much you hate *insert video game Jobbs hate here* well people hate the movie atleast 10 times that.

[zeemumu]

It's okay. I doubt shyamalan saw either too

Not after what he did to Ozai.

And Katara. She's useless in the movie.

I can discuss ATLA all day, Legend of Korra slightly less so (I'm better at discussing the villains), and everything The Last Airbender did wrong.

I've never actually seen the cartoon or the movie

You might like the show. The animation's solid, the characters are complex and interesting, and the setpieces are really cool.

If I had to rank the Korra villains, it'd probably be

Spoiler

tie between Amon and Kuvira for 1st, then Zaheer and anti-team Avatar, then what's his face and his red glowing manta ray.

My hero

I never liked the look of Avatar, even though it was Korean studios doing the animation it just looked like Americans trying to do anime and it just put me off

 

[Halcyon]

I've seen the first season of the cartoon. I didn't much care for it. It's a little too Asian for my taste.

I did however like the ThunderCats remake and wish it would have lasted longer.

gotta be starting something.

 

[zeemumu]

Something feels off today.

You're missing a great show by not watching Avatar: The Last Airbender
You're not missing a goddamned thing by not watching Korra.

Go back to dreaming about your ex.

Was eating lunch, but...

AA>AC

Didn't even finish AC due to getting bored.
This is referring to the Arkham series.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Vaping culture confuses me

Why are they so obsessed with 90's Pokemon and Windows 95?

 

[zeemumu]

He's missing the dulcet tones of Steve Blum and Korra's voice actress have an identity crisis.

 

[Professor Beef]

Go back to dreaming about your ex.

I'd rather CRAWL back to my ex than willingly watch Korra again.
