Discuss about your favorite ship(s), vent about sinking or sunken ships or rant about ships that you hate from any movies, tv series, animation, books, games, so on and so forth.

Or just some nice art of them couples you enjoy.

-No ship wars derailing.

it's so lonely being a mai fan. i feel like everyone who thinks she's boring glossed over her backstory, flashbacks, and development when she decided to ditch azula, or maybe it wasn't exciting enough for them. she and zuko have the emoness in common at least.

ayrt and tbh i love mai but i really don't like zuko, so im pretty sure that even among mai fans i'm in the minority lol.
that said, i don't find her boring but i suppose i can see why others woudln't like her, you don't see many female characters being this detached and unemotional.
>>360523
even as someone who doesn't ship zutara (i don't care much for either character), i agree taht aang and katara's relationship felt more like a sibling dynamic, especially since aang acts like a little iid a lot and seems (imo) kinda too young to ship. the relationship in the finale semed tacked on. but then again the whole finale was rushed as hell, the writing rly took a nosedive in quality at the end of book 3.

I wasn’t even a big shipper as a kid, but I always expected Katara to end up with Zuko and Aang with Toph, because that made sense to me. Aang and Toph were both kids while Zuko and Katara were teenagers, and it felt natural for them to be paired like that

i love wasps! and reminder to hornet-haters, most wasps are solitary and completely chill. it's very unlikely they'll sting you. i have a big wasp that nests on my balcony in one of the posts, and she has her babies in there every year. she lets me get really close and watch her work. she puts pine needles inside the nest, and she'll hover in front of me and stare at me but not do anything.

I've played tons of games. Maybe I've just been really lucky to not come across it in the games I play, but the amount of games with SA in them are still a tiny minority compared to the ones that don't. Video games aren't "filled with rape". The way you're talking about it makes it seem like most games have a chance of someone getting SA'd, which obviously isn't true.

I'm assuming they're talking about indie horror/psychological thrillers where these tropes are probably more present

Yeah, I remember thinking that was weird and I only understood the PTSD backstory when I looked at the director's commentary and concept art. They said they discarded scenes to develop the plot about her past, so that felt out of place. It's really weird given the context of the rest of the game, that she can have sex with Ethan (in a really weird cringy scene with interactions) and seduce the bar guy.
>>450904
I'm the first ayrt, I even said in my post
>I'm not saying it's extremely common
So I don't know where you got the idea of video games being filled with rape from my post. It does show up in quite a few games and very notable ones, so I disagree that it's extremely rare as you said in your original post. That's why I mentioned the ones I could remember that weren't horror games to get my point across. I can keep on saying other games with SA victims, Jack in ME2, the female character in Ghost of Tsushima implied she was raped, but I don't remember her name. Ellie at the end of TLOU is almost captured by a guy who showed interest in her before and implies rape and I remember the writer confirming he would have raped Ellie. The new Tomb Riders had some controversy over that. Rayne from Bloodrayne backstory was that she was a child of rape, same thing for that P5 villain. Even FF7 remake took me by surprise when they included a line for Hojo saying he was considering breeding Aerith with soldiers.

Sorry, the "filled with rape" comment was said by the the other anon I responded to, not you. Your post was very reasonable, and I'm sorry for lumping you together with the other anon. I haven't played those games you mentioned, and I still think games like that are rare when compared to the vast amount of games that don't have SA, but I'll admit that you know more about this topic than I do.

Out of those games you mentioned, are there any that actually handle the topic well, or at least have the SA be relevant to the plot, rather than using it purely for shock value?

I wanted to bring up Tokyo Ghoul too.
My issue with the story is that while Ishida can be occasionally brilliant with the horror part of the story - with Torso’s backstory, for example - he’s not that great with it in the grand scheme of it, and can mainly produce deranged, power-upped characters, who we are supposed to be afraid of. I lament the lost opportunity of psychological horror of turning into something horrible, and having to make horrible decisions. Kaneki is edgy, yes, but has he ever eaten a human? Besides these misterious sugar cubes and some parts of Hide’s face, I don’t think he ever ate human flesh, and I find it so annoying. Oh, it’s all gore and horror, but the character will have his morals intact until the very end. It’s the same “vegetarian vampire” shit all over again.

This thread was made for Crash bandicoot. I've been introduced to the original trilogy and CTR when I was a literal toddler by my granpa who kept his PS1 through the early 2000s. I grew up with the PS2 era games and am now experiencing the PS4 revival as a young adult. I've been obsessed with Crash for my entire life and I consider it my n°1 comfort media given it's ties to my childhood and my family. My point is that I consider myself well-qualified to handle this subject. Here are my biggest issues with the Crash bandicoot franchise.

The original trilogy is a work of art, though I have some complaints. Many of these issues could've unveiled lots of potential had they been explored more.
>Tawna's role
Needless to say, she is a sexist stereotype, but my biggest issue is a HUGE problem regarding her actions (or rather inaction) in the first game. Crash's goal is to save her before Cortex puts her through the Cortex Vortex. He has his henchmen "prepare the female bandicoot" (as he said himself) right after Crash escapes the castle. It takes Crash more than a day to get back to the castle for the final fight; we know this due to some levels being set during sunset, others during daytime. So how come Tawna never got brainwashed? In the remake, she's seen in the bonus round getting whisked away by Cortex, so it implies she's made at least one attempt to escape, which would've bought her time before Cortex put her through the Cortex Vortex (an action which is, as we've seen, quick).
>Tawna replaced by Coco
Tawna, due to being an oversexualized damsel in distress, was horrible female representation. She was therefore replaced by the much more fleshed out Coco bandicoot. However there was no explanation as to why Tawna disappeared (her photo is in the bandicoot house in Warped so she wasn't just erased from the story) or how Coco escaped Cortex. The japanese manual made a horrible explanation (Tawna leaving Crash for Pinstripe) but it's not canon.
>the freeing of Uka Uka
A piece of Cortex' satellite fell onto Uka Uka's prison and it frees him. I just think the coincidence is ridiculous. Ontop of that, Uka Uka scolds Cortex about past failures during the intro of Warped. Why is it implied they've always worked together if he just got freed by Cortex? I'm willing to overlook this one since we can simply consider that he's made plans between CoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

(Samefag to >>453558 with the rest of the rant)

After this came the titans reboot, with Crash of the Titans and Crash Mind Over Mutant. These two were followed by what I like to call the dark age of Crash bandicoot, with an obscure failed mobile game and Skylander figures of Crash and Cortex. Crash and Coco appeared in the Skylanders show as well. While the Skylanders appearances were well-done and a small but satisfying crumb of content for us fans, the aforementionned mainline games are deeply flawed. I'm not trying to sound like a hater but I can't even consider anything about Crash of the Titans wasted potential since nobody asked for such a game anyway. That being said, Mind Over Mutant was a big improvement, even if it's still a mediocre game. It would be salvageable with these changes:
>stop the low-brow humor
>focus on the bandicoots and scientists more instead of introducing insignificant ones like the Raticles
>again, make Crunch like his old self instead of a brainless musclehead
>explore Nina's story more
>explore Brio and Cortex' dynamic more
>give N. Gin a more important role
>less backtracking
>include more variety in the titans' attacks
After this very grim era, Toys For Bob made the N. Sane Trilogy and CTR Nitro Fueled. These games were like love letters to fans, but despite this, it was a little bit lackluster due to the boring, watered down OST, and the slow and clunky controls. Also, this is a nitpick but N. Tropy's arm going through his other arm during the first cutscene of Warped. I don't think that much effort was put into these games and it doesn't compare to the original trilogy, but it's still MUCH better than the reboots.

Lastly, there is the Toys For Bob reboot - Crash bandicoot 4: It's About Time. Clearly the people who worked on it are huge Crash fans, but too much about the game is fanservice without much substance to it. The many references just scream "look, we totally relate to your nostalgia!" and the attempt at rewriting the canon is a bit off-putting. My issue with this last point is that they're trying to turn Crash bandicoot into a total furfest. Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I was not expecting to meet another Young Justice sperg on lolcow, holy based. I completely agree with you, especially since there wasn't really a point to the time skips or the new characters. Like, in season one they have the big cliffhanger mystery about the missing 17 hours, and then season two is just like "ooh, we still don't know…except we find out in episode one!" Like what was the point of having so many in-universe years pass then kek. They also had a habit of introducing characters out of nowhere and telling us nothing about them, which wasn't a big deal for Blue Beetle but imo hurt the others' development a little. Beast Boy had such a tragic past and strong relationship with M'Gann before he came on the team and we don't see any of it until the season after we meet him. Ngl I did think it was funny as fuck how Conner and M'Gann had a bigass mansion with just the 2 of them inside and they still made the new teenaged characters sleep in a glorified van
>Needed more Blue Beetle and Zatanna
Right? Blue Beetle was one of the best characters imo and then he barely even speaks after season 2. Zatanna got relegated to Magic Ex Machina after a while. Season 1 and 2 were peak.

i'm not a massive crash fan so i cant contribute much to your well thought out post, but i always LOVED nina's original design. her vibe is so unsettling. i even like her mcr-emo crash of the titans design. they could have done so much more with her, she'd make a fun, unconventional creepy girl antagonist but they haven't really developed her personality, and her creepyness got toned down too much.
