Yep. It's called a gameplay loop for a reason. You could say Ghostrunner is just running and killing with a sword, or that doom is just killing demons. Doesn't make either of them boring.(edited)
What'dya know, there's a frag model, an exosuit model and a superdestroyer model... I might try to print a strat ball now that I think about it...(edited)

I sometimes wonder where I live... I mean... what am I looking at? It's just weird, like what does that have to do with the olympics? If it were the greek gods I'd understand it more.(edited)
Hmm in my case it is the hypocrisy with this. They will mock and laugh christians to venus but i got a question for you. Imagine it would be something from islam?
they have no idea how media was for like two decades.

All I know from the olympics is just that Gojira had a show at the opening, like damn, give me that after each discipline and I'd even consider watching it.
this isn't the place to have a conversation about religion & it will only end poorly

I do?! Oh! I do, stupid Discord did that stupid Discord thing where it stupidly collapses the rest of the roles in a stupid way @ I can't even view my friends list in game, I've just accepted it because it doesn't look like anyone else has the issue(edited)
The faction you are fighting you can see the colour different like day and night if you fighting the bugs, you will see a lot more orange and The bugs has mostly orange body and blend in with the environment with the robots the eyes of red and when you go to the faction, you can feel it you can feel the gloomy and also the wall fits well with the robots

Sorry for the graph
Matt Craig
Yep. Plus all the attention to little details. One example for all: Helldivers follow TRIGGER DISCIPLINE, like what?
I’m gonna fucking kill those fuckers before they kill eat all of dragon fruit cactus. I been growing dragonfruit cacti for years and I’m not let some shit eating, corpse muncher bugs eat them beyond recovery, and fuck on there rotting corpses to let there spawn to do the same thing!(edited)

yeah. look how her character evolved. she had a lot of variance and growth, she didn't become popular by remaining the same ol ditsy harley lovesick oh jokah baby

they are often so stagnant in their portrayals. the reason i love arnold as mr cold is cause he was so goofy and over the top

its good to change characters, to move and change, to see what can stick. if you don't do that, you end up with a lot of marvel comics. where they constantly de-volve characters away from any growth or change.

Name me one fictional character who has not been 'deformed'
11:53 PM
by your definition.
11:54 PM
batman? used to shoot and kill people. Superman? used to be able to shoot mini versions of him out of his hands
11:54 PM
lore is a lame reason to keep things. especially if your goal is to change and be new.(edited)
11:56 PM
if someone wants to write a batman whose like, idk, in a wheelchair, that's fine by me. Hell, i'd love to see how such a batman would still try and fight crime. maybe he has a remote controlled robot. or robot legs.
11:56 PM
Wouldn't that be a fun thing to check out. if we stamp our feet down and go 'no, thats not batman' thats defeating the whole purpose of characters, that they can change or be interpreted.

If we are too afraid to push characters into unfamiliar shapes or forms, i think that lacks convinction.
Foster

These applies to All literature you cannot have any piece of media that runs for anything longer than a short story and avoid this. if you avoid change, you avoid character.
Look at spiderman. marvel comics hates having him grow. they keep him with aunt may, they keep him being single, they were afraid to push him into unfamiliar territory of being a dad and being married. so they removed it. they undid it all. that is because they lacked conviction.
11:59 PM
the reason miles works for a lot of people is cause he isn't peter parker.
but yeah we are talking about 1 of the most creative fields of literature & arts. they come up with new words to describe some of the things the beings can do, but 1 of them changing gender would derail then having a child?(edited)
🌀♾
Uncreative people leech others ideas and deform it. They gave no unique ideas
i'd think its pretty unique or creative to alter a characters gender. you can't have a stagnancy and then also say its uncreative when that is changed.
Why isn't a fan fiction creative.. I don't have that much time
Foster

are you just assuming or.. do you actually know. careful with stereotypes, man. also. nobody is saying 'ah yes, bruce needs to become a woman' but they are saying, hey, if you want to do something new, you can go for it, yknow.
skell, you have to understand, that this idea you have is just not true for the comics industry. the fact these characters couldn't change or be moved, is why they had to reboot the entire thing like, 3 times.
both marvel and dc had to completely reinvent their characters multiple times cause once they got that initial thing, that's all they got. tony stark has gone through an intense amount of differences.
12:15 AM
any comic character has, anything in literature has.
again, we see how avoiding this change leads to a complete collpase of narrative. peter parker got removed from his marriage and his life, just cause the editors and publishers hated that he grew.
But if we are talking about tv then its refreshing to see characters in different art styled and outfits and having multiple versions of the characters so yes what you were saying its refreshing to see a characters change but change can be taken too far
its why spiderverses peter is liked, its while miles is liked. cause he isn't the mainline peter.

Thing is, none of these characters take the hegemon. they aren't the big version. they never are. there is always other variants, other lines, you can take what you want and enjoy it.
Essentially, its varety that can be taken how one chooses, if a person goes 'i like this story, but i want to see how it went if this happened instead' then we should celebrate if that becomes a thing they can enjoy
..no? none of these things are the hegemon. they are variants. alternatives. new coke was dethroning the old coke. but what im talking about isn't that. its diet coke.
if people want it, they can have it, if you don't like it, don't read it. if having a female penguin is the breaking point, then that's fine, don't watch caped crusader. but for people, like me, who enjoy change, its a nice thing
12:21 AM
cause having gone through a billion versions of batman who have like, mostly the same rogues gallery barely changed, seeing anything different is hype.

My adventures with superman is basically the gold standard superman story. It takes the character and setting into unfamiliar while retaining what works.
Fair point but we are still about men and women having no rights would prevent a woman from getting to become a super soldier because no respectable army would ever have a woman in the trenches

No respectable army would let captain america frisbee an unbelievably costly weapon

again, you shift things a little and it works out. what if it only worked with women. Now you have a cool plot idea. the inherent issues of misogyny at the time conflicting with the fact they now have a super soldier.
Like, that would be a fascinating story. to see how this super woman has to deal with the conflict of the time with womens rights. how that would change how captain america has to fight, how they navigate the world.

The elderly gentleman that goes by the name of martyr doom was reffering to the original comics. And yes, taht is what wonder woman was in the original comics.
I don't know how long you've been following. But I don't know what you are wanting. I don't see what I said was controversial other than you want it to be

i have double checked, i stand by my statement. she lived on buff woman paradise and fought in ww2. that's about it. there wasn't much commentary beyond 'your in a mans world' which isn't what i was talking about at all.
the fact wonder woman was, well, a woman, wasn't that much of an obstacle in her super hero stuff. it was idyllic and very 'ah yes we gotta whack the baddies'
12:37 AM
but she was treated pretty bad as well pretty sure in her silver age

The fact that she existed was everything what you said at the time when she was published though ♂️ Female superhero in a time when it was inconcievable for a woman to earn a paycheck in USA? Yeah.. That was heavy commentary, sorry. (edited)
its why you see the trope of 'the dc gang go back to ww2' a lot
