A kind, bumbling entertainer who had to go travelling after he accidentally dropped what he thought was a prop sword through the chest of a noble. He never means to hurt anyone, but he keeps slipping in battle and hitting their vital organs. It’s just an accident. He’s definitely not doing it on purpose. (In reality, he’s an assassin with an elaborate cover story)

A 900 year old elf, which is really old, even for elves. He’s a forest guardian looking for allies, but everyone just assumes he’s a crazy old man. His entire backstory is a pun I refuse to tell, or even set up, until I get to play him.

A man who always wanted to be a bard, but was unable to use magic until he slept with a groupie and she became his stalker. She watches him, sends him messages, and even gives him weird gifts. In case it’s not clear, he is an archfey warlock.

A powerful wizard from another world. Sadly, magic works differently here, and he couldn’t get used to the change. He is trying, but in the meantime, he needs to pay the bills. Hitting stuff still works the same, so he’s a fighter with aims of being an eldritch knight. And he uses a flail he painted red that he calls a fireball.

Yeah, there’s a definite battery marketing push with all those sales going on. I was able to pick up some depleted batteries just the other day, free of charge.

Magic is fictional. Therefore, it can do whatever the heck you want it to. Do you want magic to win? Then it does. Who’s going to tell you otherwise?

This time, Trump is intelligent, and it’s OPs fault it’s happening.

Granted. Trump is now fully capable of stripping the people of their rights to enrich the state and turn America into an effective fascist engine of war. He then turns his machine on the rest of the world to spread the goodness of America.

…I’m gonna need more to go on, here.

Anyone with a net worth listed on their wikipedia page.

Anyone who can lose several million dollars at work and might still have a job the next day.

Anyone who can damage fancy clothing and think “I’ll just get a new one.”

Anyone who can have a holiday abroad every year. Especially if they have a summer home.

Anyone who gets surprised when they find out someone has never been skiing.

Gen 1 had a lot of design issues: The special stat is overpowered, too many pokemon were poison type, move diversity was so poor that some types were just useless, and there were a lot of glitches.

Recent generations also have design issues: The story holds your hand every step of the way, characters are more detailed but less expressive, each generation has a gimmick that gets abandoned in the very next game, and there’s somehow a lot of glitches again!

Personally, my sweet spot is gen 4, but gens 3 and 5 are pretty solid too.

Chip (my car) is a boy, but he is not a “dude”.

Also, it’s about a man attending a party in order to fix his family, and he needs to learn to let go of his pride. Classic Christmas movie message.

It’s a movie about a man attending a Christmas party in order to patch things up with his wife and spend the holidays among his family. But the only way to do that, and to defeat the greedy villain, is to let go of their pride. And also there’s guns and stuff.

It’s a Christmas movie in the same way Addams family is a wholesome family. They obviously are, and you only disagree if you’re unable to look past the surface.

There can be more than one asshole. I will also note that apologising makes them LESS of an asshole, so…

“Oh, there wasn’t any political agenda we need to acknowledge. He only did it because he plays radical, violent video games like Among Us. I wouldn’t be surprised if he committed suicide in prison after beating himself unconscious while all the cameras were unsuspiciously turned off.”

Striving for purity is a fools errand. Striving to be better than you were before? That could work.

If you think you’re pure, you definitely aren’t.

I’ll have you know that Ducktective has a big mystery element, and a lot of humour that goes over kids heads!

I mean, you can do whatever you want. But I would strongly recommend not using AI at all.

If you can’t draw (like me), then find an asset pack that’s close enough to what you want and do some minor edits to make it fit. Even a quick little doodle will have more heart and soul than an AI can ever try to poorly emulate.

Ever seen a game called “Thomas was Alone”? Every character is made of simple rectangles in different colours and sizes. You don’t need much.

Skies of Arcadia.

For one thing, the entire setting is just a bunch of floating islands, and I love that trope.

For another, there’s 6 moons, each with elemental powers. The land under each moon is affected by these powers, making the land under the red moon a scorching desert, and the land under the green moon a thick jungle.

Then there’s the subtle mysteries. There’s an iron star in the atmosphere, which is a satalite but everyone forgot what it’s called. There’s a black moonstone, but no black moon to go with it. There’s a looper of every moon colour, but there’s also a black looper that only shows up once you defeat the main villain.

I think, most of all, I love the tone. Pirates fight an evil empire, and a heroic, upbeat attitude is never punished.

No, it doesn’t prove your opinion, because I am not talking about those movies. I am talking about recent movies with equal or worse writing that were better received. If it was about writing quality, Captain Marvel would have gotten apathy, not hatred. That proves it’s not about writing quality.

Shang Chi and Loki were both released after Captain Marvel and did not suffer due to superhero fatigue. So that shouldn’t be a factor in Captain Marvels reception either.

Captain Marvel was released so late into the MCU due to Ike Perlmutter being deeply misogynistic, so there is absolutely precedent for misogyny in the superhero space. Why are you so insistent there isn’t any?

What does Brie Larson’s charisma (which could be argued either way but I won’t) have to do with the writing quality? Considering everyone blames the writing quality for her reception, as seen above. And people being tired of superheroes didn’t apply to Shang Chi or Loki, which came out AFTER Captain Marvel.

Whenever someone gives me an reason for their opinion that is provably untrue, but they don’t change their opinion, it makes me question what the actual reason is. And when I look at the bad (or even just okay) movies and look at which ones the “fanbase” is angry about, I can’t help but notice it skews towards hating the ones with female leads.
