You know people like to go on and on about how villains make a piece of media and whatnot, writing endlessly about them to the point you'd think the heroes are irrelevant. But that's not true, the heroes can be just as pivotal as the villains to a great story, and possibly even more of a driving force behind how beloved a series is. The connection is just more important and thus more complicated for most writers to comprehend how to make the audience truly root for a hero.

Anonymous 09/12/24 (Thu) 05:55:13 No.133154

It's because usually a proactive villain defines the conflict, and that conflict then defines the reactive hero.
You know, da jokah starts some shit and batman goes after him, an ancient evil awakens and yuusha must search for the mcguffin, aliens attack and humanity puts up a resistance. It's the antagonist that starts off by imposing themselves upon the world and setting the terms of... whatever it is is happening. So the aliens oughta be good. Guts is a great protagonist, but he wouldn't be who he is without the immense adversity he's forced to face, and most importantly without Griffith, one of the most reviled characters ever. There's a ton of examples where the antagonists are some cardboard cutouts that don't get fleshed out and nobody cares about them, but it's the endearing ones that make things dramatically more interesting.

Anonymous 09/12/24 (Thu) 06:19:46 No.133155

Part of that could also be the recent (as in last decade) reaction to villains in popular media being wet noodles. They talk about how important a good villain is because nearly every big name movie and TV show nowadays has milquetoast forgettable villains barely qualifying as an antagonist.
Villains exist to give the heros contrast.

Cool weapons! Anonymous 09/01/24 (Sun) 19:56:50 No.132851 [Reply]

From pointy sticks to plasma cannons, what are you favorite weapons in real life or fantasy? Weapons are more than just implements of destruction, they represent the culture and time period around them, and many cultures find certain types to be sacred or at least ceremonial. In fantasy they can similarly be an important part of worldbuilding, or more importantly just be really cool. Even wizards often need a good item in their hand to cast their magic.
Cuteness is not considered a weapon in regards to this thread!

I like the Bo as well, I actually have one and I have been trained how to use them a bit. My Karate dojo trains with the Bo instead of Nunchucks because they are easier to get and you can actually make them yourself pretty easily.

My Bo is simply a 6 foot length of Tasmanian oak that I got from a hardware store, I sanded it smooth and then oiled it and people at the dojo would say that it was better than the one they had which they brought from a proper martial arts store.

I've seen that guy posted elsewhere on the internet before (years ago) and his humor really never clicked for me. I remember him as some happy-go-lucky guy that looked like he was 12 so it's weird to see him with a beard and long hair being serious. He reminded me of silly 00s internet humor, although a bit dated by the time he did it. So it's a whole movie of unlinked skits or something? I don't know how the suicide clips relates to an internet song.
Comedians swerving into serious territory isn't something I generally like too much. I've never really seen any of them do it well, they seem to add humor where it shouldn't be and can't take things seriously enough, perhaps because they feel pressured to perform due to their reputation and career. There's the saying about the jester being the only one allowed to speak truth in front of the king (or however that went), but I don't think it really applies to most of these people.

I'm not sure what the last movie I saw was...

>So it's a whole movie of unlinked skits or something?
Essentially, yes. Typically 3-5 minute scenes, but some are really short, less than 30-45 seconds. I wouldn't call them "skits." There's not really any punchlines. They're all loosely connected in that they're about isolation and alienation. The film is set during the COVID lockdowns and, according to the film, Bo never leaves his house for nearly a year, and doesn't until the very end whereupon he's locked out and wants to go back inside. This was probably my favorite scene. It was completely out of left field, but it's amazing in recreating the exact sort thing he's critiquing.

>I don't know how the suicide clips relates to an internet song.
Between the scenes you would consider "worth watching", are shots of the disorganized and cluttered room Bo lives in. They're moments where you can faintly glimpse into the mind of the author and empathize with the same feelings during the pandemic of loneliness, and cabin fever. Maybe these concepts don't translate well to an audience that wasn't bothered during the pandemic and not being able to go outside or interact with people...

File:Death in Venice (1971) Cri….jpg (505.26 KB,1920x1632)

Death in Venice is the kind of film that people think cinephiles go wild for.

It's about a troubled artist that goes down to the titular city for a vacation and runs into a boy so incredibly beautiful that it fucking destroys him. You'd be tempted to compare this to Lolita, but it's a totally different story: the two never interact, it's more about the mental state of the guy and his reaction to the sublime (done through commendable acting), as well as a depiction of a luxurious setting at the same time that a cholera outbreak begins to tear it down. But it's very hard to say that anything happens, it's mostly walking around in very normal situations with only a couple scenes where the guy actually talks about what he's thinking, there's no narration or anything. Ultimately, he drops dead from cholera, sitting in a chair at the beach, unceremoniously.

One review Wikipedia quotes says that some shots "could be extracted from the frame and hung on the walls of the Louvre or the Vatican in Rome" and given how much they have been reproduced and reposted (particularly those from pic's scene) I absolutely agree. I downloaded the book it comes from and found its rebuttals quite funny:
>Other critics afflicted with private blind-spots have called Death in Venice boring, tedious, slow, devoid of action, pointless, without catharsis, etc. All of which, I humbly suggest, indicates more about the shallowness and obtusity of the individual critic than about the intrinsic qualities of this superior film.
>Death in Venice is not a story about a pretty teenager and a dirty old man. It is superficial to carp about "nothing happening,” "lack of confrontation,” "absence of catharsis.” For here we are faced with a complex and sophisticated mood piece, relentless in its pursuit of esthetic truth. The boy and the man never converse; why should they? Their unique communion is not based on the banalities of social intercourse, nor is it founded on coarse physicality.
Lol, lmao even. It's not wrong, but, you know, it's not a film I would recommend to anyone ever. He also downplays the homosexuality in favor of more abstract ideals, that part I do disagree with. Ebert's review is better.
I also watched a 2021 documentary where they explain how he was impacted by it and the situation in general, how a kid was given global fame and thrust into a situation he didn't understand while Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Music in Media Anonymous 08/12/24 (Mon) 02:29:02 No.132328 [Reply]

Do people really not take note of the OST of anime/games while enjoying them? I find it really hard not to notice since the sound in media I find to be one of the more important facets of its enjoyability. Like take this scene from the most recent episode of Nige Jouzu for instance, the OST during bursts with obvious Lupin influence and it makes sense given that Tokiyuki's playing thief and also making his big escape during the scene. The bombastic more samba-ish style fits very well with it and provides a more exciting scene due to it. If it weren't there and it was just some normal epic orchestral soundtrack the difference would be astronomical I feel. You wouldn't have the same lighthearted adventurish feeling to the scene that relays Tokiyuki's own emotions.

Similarly in something like SH2 after Pyramid head kills Maria after you make your escape without her, this plays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcsySeJSVD0 . It's somber and slow, amplifies the guilt James feels and forces you to dwell on your actions even if it's one of the parts of the game that can't be avoided, you don't know that. The impact wouldn't linger as long without the OST pulling you back into it.

So I really have to wonder if people that say they don't notice actually don't notice, or if they just don't think too much on it.

I'd like to see Greg Egan's Orthogonal trilogy adapted into an anime.
The setting is a universe with an alternate law of physics whose consequences include that
¥ light of different colours travels at different speeds and there is no maximum speed of light
¥ liquids largely don't exist as a state of matter, they're all explosively unstable
¥ temperature acts weirdly (I didn't quite understand it from the books and Greg's website but it seems like the characters use gases as a way to dump arbitrarily high amounts of heat energy from their bodies)
¥ the direction of the arrow of time is determined by local conditions (entropy I guess) and in the greater 4-dimensional universe, the worldlines of objects can go in any direction. You can be hit by a tiny meteorite whose worldline is perpendicular to yours, which you will experience as something traveling infinitely fast, punching a great hole through your stuff and massively damaging it
¥ related to the above, it's possible for time-reversed matter to interact with ordinary matter and both see time running backwards (e.g. objects reforming from a broken state) for the other
and more.

The consequence of the alternate physics most important to the plot is that it is possible for a spacecraft to accelerate away from a planet so that it is travelling infinitely fast, i.e. 'sideways' in 4D space relative to that planet, then turn around and return, such that a short time passes for the planet's inhabitants but many generations pass on the spacecraft. (In our universe, it's the other way around, a lot of time can pass for Earth but the spacecraft ages less)
The plot is a multi-generational drama centered on precisely such a spacecraft, which the inhabitants of the planet built to buy time against a world-ending catastrophe.

Now, a problem I have with Greg Egan's books is that I never really like the characters, I'm only there for the math and physics. The characters tend to be annoying, unlikeable 'Young Adult protagonist' snarkers, and I never care about their stupid emotional problems. The plots mostly aren't interesting to me (Orthogonal's plot is one of his better ones, he successfully portrays the epic scope of tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>¥ the direction of the arrow of time is determined by local conditions
this in particular seems pretty fucking trippy
like, how does regular matter interact with time-reversed matter? because of course there's a lot of stuff surrounding the broken object and only one part of a person going back in time i figure it'd really fuck them up
>Now, a problem I have with Greg Egan's books is that I never really like the characters, I'm only there for the math and physics.
kinda sounds like it's the same for him, seeing as he has a hundred thousand words on the topic but i can hardly find anything about worldbuilding, writing characters, or the like

Zippyshare will shut down by the end of this month.
I think the impact is limited since it's meant as temporary file hosting, but a small number of files have survived for much longer due to continued downloads.
If you know some old files you want on Zippyshare like those on some DDL sites, download them now.

On the other hand, if Mediafire was to go down, the impact would be much larger since lots of files on it are now over a decade old. The same can be said for Mega due to the huge amount of files shared on it.

You can hire new people to draw the girls or write the songs and as long as they're sexy and catchy it won't matter that they're not the same guys because there's no ethos to the work.

you're not wrong, but that generality misses the point that the people who were responsible for doing that just left and are going to set up their own blackjack and hookers, that's what's impactful

No, it's not April 1st. Could this all be because of the social media response to that Japanese ad? It is pretty funny since 'WcDonald's' is indeed something that pops up now and then in anime and manga. If they did this 20-30 years ago it would have been witty and kind of cool, but it feels kind of late now.
The style here is very 90s Western anime imitation, especially the Miku. You need to download the usual spyware app to see the comics, so screw that.

people think that touhou is a doujin product but it's more like a franchise that lost it's intelectual property rights nowadays

Yeah. The "doujin spirit" is still there somewhat in Japan since the physical cons and events there are still popular, but online it's a FFA. As long as you don't break the rules on fan creation (which really only applies to charging money on it) you're good to do whatever with those characters and setting. Making a Touhou mod of X isn't going to make ZUN or his faggy lawyer hunt you down, unlike say Nintendo, Capcom, or Games Workshop. But this is for small time creators, they have different rules for corporations which I imagine they still have to go through the hoops for permissions. I doubt McDonalds can slap Doll Judgement in an ad and not at least pay lip service to ZUN.

I don't think so, it's altered too much from the original.

>>132953
Zun never sold the IP... He still owns it.

>>132964
Copyright is an incredibly complex topic. Zun has always come down on people trying to make and sell Touhou fan games but making a fangame of a franchise is legal so long as it's not made for commercial gains. That's the same thing with mods, though mods can still be illegal but that's due to terms of service and not copyright(some games put restrictions against mods in their terms of service).

The way Touhou is managed is not actually that different to any other franchise.

what OP/EDs do you like? I was thinking about the popularity of LycoReco when it came out and how nice it'd be to see more anime inspired by gunslinger girl since that was one hell of a boson anime. the OP for it being one of my favorites and having that early 2000s english indie song for its op. also do you remember that in the same season lycoreco aired there was another original anime "engage kiss" that failed miserably and was just a soulless gacha cashgrab checking boxes to try and hook a playerbase, lycoreco had no tie-in and was the biggest anime besides bocchi so goes to show how far creating something good takes you compared to trying to cash out on the trendy market researched ideal money printer

I love this opening. I love that 99% of "fans" don't get the joke. I love that people hate this show. I love this show. Most importantly: I love my waifu Hinata.

Can't post best OP without best ED. Hinata my beloved!

Thats good to hear! The show was really good from what I remember, maybe i should rewatch it.
I like the ED more than the OP; both are good, I just like ナナヲアカリ.

That whole era around 2010 in youtube the Japanese rightsholders were so autistic about expunging everything from youtube.
I got a giggle a few months ago seeing Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari in my recs, they finally uploaded the tv version officially to advertise off/monster.

I've legitimately never heard anyone say anything about about this manga.

Is there anything else as beloved as Soremachi?

Hakumei to Mikochi is another manga I have never heard anyone say anything about. Inoffensive slice of life stuff tend to not get much backlash unless it's popular enough to attract the attention of trolls and loud contrarians.

I had plan to stream the anime here at some point, but never really found the motivation for it. I think it might be to sleepy to do a long one.
SoL manga isn't really something that gets my attention in general.

Yeah it's definitely the type of anime you only want to watch 1 or 2 episodes of at a time. It loses its iyashikei effect if you watch too much at once.
