Endorph posted:nah, plenty of long running stuff is good. there's stuff you can only really do with longform storytelling. What examples would you put forward as shining examples of long-form storytelling? I'm always interested in finding more of them that don't gently caress up later on in the run. https://forums.somethingawful.com/newreply.php?action=newreply&postid=513890944 Spek posted:I like the anyone can die gimmick. Not only does it increase suspense but, more importantly imo, it helps sidestep the issue with long running stories where the writers have done everything they can think of doing with a character as we cycle through a new cast relatively often. I'd like to see that sort of thing more, and in more genres, honestly, doesn't need to be dying the characters could leave for other reasons. Like maybe a college comedy where no one is staying for more than 3 or 4 seasons add a few new characters every season, retire a few characters every season. Would help keep things fresh longterm and avoid the situation where the writers run out of things to do with the cast so eventually every character has had a romance with every other character or the like. Also, the new characters GRRM made for books four and five were almost always boring.

oh right, duh, brain fart Though, relating to internet reviewers and jojo, did anyone ever get hold of/review the infamous part one movie? I remember being super excited about it a billion years ago but it seems like every effort has gone in to wiping it off the face of the planet.

Jolyne is the Jojo who has to clever her way through all her fights more than any of the other Jojos since her Stand isn't as physically strong as the others and it doesn't have some bullshit OP power like stopping time or trapping you in an infinite death loop.

I mean, aside from Joseph as far as Stands go. Araki looked at Yuyu Fungami and was like 'Hmm, he's not even strong enough to break a paper shredder apart with his Stand. That gives me some ideas about prison. And Society. GRAVITY

I'm always interested in finding more of them that don't gently caress up later on in the run. i will give season 8 one thing. the episode before battle of Winterfell is solid and it would have been alot of better if more of them died especially the folks i liked. or the battle had been actually well done. plus there version of jenny of oldstone was good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCnEJYds1iA Just imagine how impactful this song would have been if Podrick died. Imagine if everyone sitting in this room died.

Captain Invictus posted:Usopp is my favorite character in one piece besides luffy. I kinda wish they had stuck with his changed design for the time skip(big fatty) instead of Ripped Badass Usopp, though I don't entirely hate that design either. I liked every crew members' pre-time skip design more than the new ones they got. I liked the simplicity of them.

RareAcumen posted:Good loving luck finding a Captain Olimar or Shadow of the Colossus protagonist in an anime these days. Anime can have a lot of secondary characters that I like a lot for this reason. Like Usopp and Seras Victoria. The problem is that these characters often stay useless until they become overpowered instead. There was a Hellsing TV show and at the end when Alucard was at the moment of truth against the big bad villain. Seras is injured and Alucard completely carved up by some runes and he needs her to get a magazine for his gun so he can finish off the bad guy. She tries but she fails and then he uses mind powers to collect the magazine, finish off the bad guy and save the day. I would pay through the nose for a series that was just early series Seras Victoria investigating overpowered vampire lords causing problems and then defeating them by sneaking into their castle and using various tricks and devices to kill them and clear up the mess.

The price being so cheap meant she would actually try to get it rather than go "well that's impossible to attain". I don't know about that. Namis treasure hoard was something like 3 cubic meters of gold, jewels and money. Which was somehow comparable to the surplus wealth that Arlong could take from a small peasant village over 4 months. Nami was consistently stealing enormous treasure hoards from very wealthy pirates. Yet together it all amounted to less than what a small village can produce in surplus over 4 months. What sums were used in the original manga?

Junpei Hyde posted:Unless you're Giorno Really even Giorno still has to get through some of them only after a lot of difficulty, like Mista has to outright die and Giorno gets busted up against Ghiaccio/White Album, it's just that Giorno gets the most swiss army knife stand in the series which gets to roll back all the damage so much of Passione takes, as long as he gets to them in a prompt timeframe.

It has some of my favorite jojo moments, and seeing it in whatever art style they choose to go for with the anime will be great, because imo it came out at a really rough point in the manga visually speaking.

Same. Part 5 anime fixed a lot of the issues the manga had, and brought a fantastic style of it's own. If we get a similar approach to 6, which it looks like we're getting, then it's going to be a good time. My hopes for the outro is "Heaven is a place on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle, and for the original JoJo theme to start playing right at the end when Emporio hold up the CD, in the exact same way as when Joseph holds up the jewel when fighting Kars.

Stardust Crusaders is of course the worldwide favorite, but it's neat how certain places popped a lot more for this or that part.

Nuebot posted:I feel like part 5 is the most hit or miss, Part of that might be because a worse-than-Duwang level translation was all we got for the longest time. With that said, Part 5 never really clicked for me the same way part 4 did, even after we finally did get a better translation. I certainly wouldn't call it bad or even sub-par, there's lots of really good stuff sprinkled in there (multiple consecutive multi-page spreads of Giornio beating someone to death, Notorious B.I.G., everything to do with Mista and Sex Pistols), but I never really connected with Gio the same way I did with Josuke or Joseph. Also that explanation for where stands and the arrow come from was just odd, like Araki typed it up in 5 minutes to fill out some panels and then immediately forgot about it. Edit: I will always maintain that Part 6 is the most buckwild surreal JoJo ever gets. It also feels the most "meta" overall, like parts of it are directly commenting on the series itself. "Hey, what's the weakest stand?" "Haha what kind of loving stupid question is that?" MechanicalTomPetty fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Apr 11, 2021 |
