In my opinion, Shadow Slave’s flaw system is one of the best ways to balance a system. It allows for the underdog to win in a fight because they are smart enough.

I recently watched this movie and I absolutely loved it , the movie hooks you in the first scene , throughout the movie the stakes are always so high and you never what's going to happen. The narrator/protag has very little role , the movie is set on the dynamic/rivalry between the semi- protag and the anatogonist. and shock value is executed so good. the supposed climax was executed in anti-climatic way and it will drop you jaw. the storytelling of this movie truly excels at hooking the audience, it will always leave with ' something is gonna happen ' factor. Overall I recommend this movie to everyone, it's a must watch imo.

Recently, I've been experiencing one of my favorite franchises (the Precure series) experience a huge boost in popularity, thanks to a new character (Cure Arcana Shadow) introduced in the latest installment, especially in Japan. However, it seems she is actually way more popular than Precure proper. It got me thinking into what are some key examples of characters who surpass their franchise into being more well known than their actual source material?

I don’t even like demon slayer, it’s the definition of style over substance, but I still can not believe how genuinely excited and flabbergasted I was that this guy stood back up after looking absolutely dead. And it doesn’t help that it’s followed by one of the most impressively animated “fight” scenes I’ve ever seen. (Fight in quotes because from what I recall it’s just a lot of blurry slashes and fireworks). Sometimes style over substance just works because this was truly hype. Did it make sense? Not really. But boy was it jaw dropping.

Honorable mentions include spot vs miles morales (it was round 2 for the villain this time, fun twist) and Absolute Batman vs Bane

For me is the question (specially the O Neil version). His early character arc was about moving past the Ayn Rand objectivism his character was meant to be a mascot for a more introspective zen character who fully agrees there are multiple shades of grey in the world.

Like a story you liked at one point and then the author completely fumbles it with a scene, trope, twist, etc. Whatever. It can be anything

Name the series and name the reason.
