Ohh oohh, are you talking about who is more evil?
What about someone that steals people from other universes and timelines, then brainwash them, then commits genocide?

Thank god you are here!
Could you help me with a thing in Mother 3 and Earthbound that I don’t know how to deal with?

I say what it is on this post:
Oh yeah, I started playing Mother 3 with a fan-translation in Spanish.
At the moment I am in the part where the forest is under fire and you are attacked by some kind of weird flies.

It plays nice and looks dope, although I have trouble with a thing present in Earthbound too: the mechanic where certain hits make you lose energy until you die.

I always die because of it and I don’t know how to deal with it, so any help with that would be nice.
Besides that, it is looking like the masterpiece everyone told me it was.

Thanos achieves what a good villain should: you understand why he would want to do what he does, and can sympathize with elements of the character, but don't agree with his methods, and still firmly believe he's the bad guy in this story. It's more intriguing than "evil for the sake of evil."

Side note: Anthony Higgs is most definitely alive by the end of the story.

That’s in the MCU doh.
In the comics, he kills species and galaxies just to impress Death and win her hearth.
Although the motivations in the comics justify the title of “Mad Titan” too well, I feel like the MCU motivations are more justified in a way.

There are many ways to interpret a story but you can still see the intent behind it through other elements beyond the story. It's important to take it in consideration how it's presented.
Gamora may scream all she wants but the universe considered Thanos's "love" for her real as it focused on his teared eyes and made it out to be his greatest sacrifice as the camera switched to slow motion so Thanos could be rewarded for all of this.
Thanos is willing to sacrifice others for his goals but the heroes aren't, that's the conflict in the movie. The movie paints his goal as noble and logical but the means don't justify the ends which is why he's the villain. The movie justifies his genocide on Gamora's planet because he says things are better now and no one refutes or questions him, they just accept he's right.

Applying Neo-Malthusian values on the entire universe is not a moral dilemma, regardless of the killing, it won't succeed what it's attempting to do but the movie simply ignores that.
I don't think the characters are accepting that his whole "commit genocide" M.O. is right though, or ignoring it, considering they like, try to kill him throughout the whole movie because of it. I mean genocide is pretty universally considered a bad thing, the movie doesn't need to baby us and tell us why

Also I'm pretty sure the whole tears+slow down thing was for a mixed effect of "damn he would really do that" and "aw man now im emotional she's one of mcu's only good female characters smh"

That's even better, Thanos is one fine gentleman and knows how to court a lady.

No recuerdo muy bien el principio de Mother 3 salvo que habia un fuego que lageaba mi emulador, estoy casi seguro de que resolvi todos mis proble
mas a base de farmear enemigos debiles y seguir bien el ritmo de las canciones que suenan de fondo para poder hacer combos de hasta 16 ataques.
Aqui un ejemplo:
No puedo ayudar mucho porque como digo, apenas me acuerdo del principio, good luck with that!

I'm not saying they ignore his killing MO, it's the rest of his plan they ignore, that being: it doesn't ****ing work like that.
The only counterpoint they provide is that killing is wrong but in everything else, the movie paints Thanos as right: he actually loves Gamora, the genocide commited on her planet was a good thing and his ultimate goal will make things better for the survivors.
The movie pretends Thanos is right when an unbiased look would tell otherwise just so it can have a fake moral dilemma to make it seem morally gray when it really isn't. Because the movie is biased, it chooses a side and it says Thanos was right.

I recommend reading the article as it explains it way better than I can though. And they use Star Trek as a good example of how to provide a proper moral dilemma.

Oh, y por cierto, un golpe critico no significa que estas muerto si te curas rapidamente antes de que la vida te baje del todo.
Also sorry to everyone reading this and asking what the hell are we talking about.

For the love of God please shut up
Constructive.

They're all hideous there no two ways about it.

Which is weird because Injustice was fine.
It's weird. They oftenmost wear the outfit of a stripper but have the jawline of a dude. Almost always.

Not to mention the hip area almost always looks awkward.

As a dude that enjoys fanservice more often than not, me liking Mortal Kombat definitely doesn't have anything to do with these weird attempts of pandering to my sexuality.
The stripper designs are too pretty hit or miss. Like in the past decade Melina had her best look in MKX

Nah, it's okay, I know very little Spanish anyway so I can roughly tell what you are talking about.

I came across this while looking for more wholesome art and...is it bad that I kinda want this to officially happen?

There was a problem fetching the tweet
I mean, James McCloud is both a Star Fox and an F-Zero character so I don’t see why not.

Saying they look ugly and then "look like men" can be rude and has some bad implications.
What people wany to imply about what I say about fictional characters is on them.

Not everything has to be a gender debate, the art is just bad and or not very appealing. Nor has it ever been 100% with MK.

The women of MK have never been on par with the likes of Chun Li or even King, or Mai or anyone really.

Are you sure?
Because I feel like the characters in MK11 look like they were taken from MvC:Infinite. And that game had Chun Li on it.

Of course, I refer to every character in both games as a whole, not just specific ones.
Because something is wrong with Capcom when Sakurai can make Ken look better in a 3D game than the ones who actually own the character.

Infinite is just a train wreck all together so eh.

SF5 everyone's hands and feet are massive which is off putting but they're faces are fine.

I don't know if this supposed to be a cheap shot at Infinite but didn't they fix Chun Li's model before release?

Sorry but there’s a big and real problem with the faces in Street Fighter V, not just in MvC:Infinite.

The problem of the faces isn’t exclusive to Chun Li or even MvC:Infinite.

Street Fighter V also has it.

Telling someone to shut up because you disagree with them is also rude so, where does that put us?

Though again what is unsaid, I take no responsibility for. I said they look ugly, I foolishly assumed that since we were talking about video games that everyone would think I was referring to art. Because that's what they are... art. Models, polygons...

The weird thing about Capcom’s problem with 3D faces is that it mostly happens in the fighting games alone.
Because then there are games like Megaman 11, what we have seen from Devil May Cry V and the Resident Evil games; where the faces are actually done better.

Maybe the problem relies on the team in charge of the fighting games?
