I just beat the final boss of Hat in Time and is the ending seriously "all the villains gang up to beat up a little girl while chanting 'get lost', and this is a good thing"?

I'm glad Monster Prom is getting the praise it deserves. I've been holding that torch since I played the demo at PAX. Unfortunately my friends are all lame-os who don't get its humor so I'm stuck with doing single player If this avatar wasn't still pretty new I'd get a Miranda one. Still might.

Yeah she does look a little stockier but because women in media are usually on the extreme end of slenderness, a completely normal amount of stockiness can look weird, especially to someone with toxic views on gender

Attractive people in media is one of those weird things where what people want (to look at pretty people) and what benefits society (realistic depictions of people so expectations don't get hosed up) are at odds

It's also harder to make a less-attractive character than a generically pretty character because things like facial asymmetry and skin imperfections and weird-looking hair and poor-fitting clothes are harder to draw or render

chumbler posted:Just like female protagonists. Well my point wasn't "and this is why we shouldn't have average-looking characters" it was more intended as an explanation of why characters tend to be attractive unless steps are specifically taken to make them uglier, even if the artists didn't set out to make them attractive

This isn't really relevant at all but I want everyone who hasn't read the silmarillion to learn about Shelob's cool-rear end spider momThe Silmarillion posted:There, beneath the sheer walls of the mountains and the cold dark sea, the shadows were deepest and thickest in the world; and there in Avathar, secret and unknown, Ungoliant had made her abode. The Eldar knew not whence she came; but some have said that in ages long before she descended from the darkness that lies about Arda, when Melkor first looked down in envy upon the Kingdom of Manwë, and that in the beginning she was one of those that he corrupted to his service. But she had disowned her Master, desiring to be mistress of her own lust, taking all things to herself to feed her emptiness; and she fled to the south, escaping the assaults of the Valar and the hunters of Oromë, for their vigilance had ever been to the north, and the south was long unheeded. Thence she had crept towards the light of the Blessed Realm; for she hungered for light and hated it. The Silmarillion posted:A cloak of darkness she wove about them when Melkor and Ungoliant set forth; an Unlight, in which things seemed to be no more, and which eyes could not pierce, for it was void. The Silmarillion posted:Then the Unlight of Ungoliant rose up even to the roots of the Trees, and Melkor sprang upon the mound; and with his black spear he smote each Tree to its core, wounded them deep, and their sap poured forth as it were their blood, and was spilled upon the ground. But Ungoliant sucked it up, and going then from Tree to Tree she set her black beak to their wounds, till they were drained; and the poison of Death that was in her went into their tissues and withered them, root, branch, and leaf; and they died. And still she thirsted, and going to the Wells of Varda she drank them dry; but Ungoliant belched forth black vapours as she drank, and swelled to a shape so vast and hideous that Melkor was afraid. The Silmarillion posted:Together they went on, for Morgoth could not elude Ungoliant, and her cloud was still about him, and all her eyes were upon him; and they came to those lands that lay north of the Firth of Drengist. Now Morgoth was drawing near to the ruins of Angband, where his great western stronghold had been; and Ungoliant perceived his hope, and knew that here he would seek to escape from her, and she stayed him, demanding that he fulfil his promise.

nothing wrong with junk food fiction. If you like a book and people tell you to read something else the correct response is "who the hell are you to decide which books are real" Personally I'm on a Tolkien re-read rampage after discovering he had yet another posthumous publication last year. On the Turin chapter of the Silmarillion which I'm substituting by reading the Children of Hurin instead for the fuller version. I'm pretty sure the changing meaning of the word "tryst" since Tolkien wrote it (and he might have been using an archaic meaning even then) means that Beleg and Turin are lovers which honestly I'm okay with

There are like five Lyns in Fire Emblem Heroes, Nintendo knows she's popular with FE fans now and is very likely in smash 5 if they're at all interested in adding an older FE character to the roster

There's a saying that the Greek gods are comedic characters treated deadly serious and the Norse gods are serious characters treated as comic relief Like the Greek gods are constantly being petty and doing ridiculous things to try to one-up each other but this is all treated as being dramatic instead of silly. Whereas the Norse gods always have serious responsible motives but then you get stories about Thor dressing up in a wedding dress or trying to empty a drinking glass which had secretly been connected to the ocean
