Really hate it when protags effortlessly beat someone miles above them just because it's fated or by sheer luck.

MC can negate enemy powers only so you can throw the most overpowered enemies against him and he defeat them with punching, sword swinging or other nobrainer attacks.

Because it is safe. You make money once you get your own merc. Making a generic story with basic girl designs means that if you hit off you can start shitting out bad figs and dakis.

Also look at the west. Harry potter got fished out of the rejected bin, got big and suddenly you get a whole wave of magic books. Something like that can happen in japan too. Now its battle harem anime. But maybe something else comes up that gets popular and they start reproducing that en masse.

Nasu sucked all the tension out of that plot aspect after the first one or two incidents of Shirou "miraculously surviving the impossible." But he used it like 30 times per route. It's awful. It's like Nasu think's we're complete idiots.

How often do people go for high grade shit instead of the stock drivel they poop out.

Whether it is food, books, music or movies. Most people consume the simple shit. People dont want engaging stories. They want simple attractive stories with little to pull them out of their comfort zone.

In your real life you have to be the one who takes all the risk and makes most of the decisions in a relationship. Even with feminism, that's still what most girls want from men. You don't see these feminist she children running around approaching men and breaking the ice themselves.

Women want to be told what to do. The downside is that you have to take more responsibility, but the upside is that you get to, in essence if not anymore directly, tell her what to do.
>>
>>133567723
ok?

>>133567546

I'm sure even you wouldn't constantly run from a attractive girl showing interest in you.

That is why I find the trope ridiculous and unrealistic, They use romantic tension to bait the viewer to keep watching but 10 seasons later literally nothing of substance has happened.

Abilities that "shave your lifespan" as a price, without any other explanation, just "it cuts your lifespan down"

It's fucking stupid, because it's supposed to be this "OH NO" revelation, but in reality it's just putting a pointless price on a debt that will never be paid back because usually the repercussions will only happen after the conclusion, so it doesn't even matter in the end. It just comes off as a cheap method for putting a limit on a characters strong abilities or powers without having to resort to more extreme prices, it's just "Hey barkeep, I'm gonna use my super mode, so just put it on my tab like usual!"

If this is accompanied by other repercussions though, it's a bit more bearable

GOD I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT

I hate, fucking HATE uncreative power usage. It's why I always gripe about main characters with fire based powers, because they rarely ever use the powers in unique ways, it's always just "THROW FIRE, THAT DIDN'T WORK? THROW MORE, BIGGER FIRE" I know thats a bit of an exaggeration, and you can only do so much with fire, but at least fucking TRY, it's the same with MCs whose only method of fighting is flailing their fists, and yet they always win. They have no other attack options, no real strategy, just flail fist and win.

So seeing a "super technique" is just something generic and boring it irritates me so fucking bad.

Nah, overly convulted most of the time doesn't lead to anything while something simple like Mushishi can still leave space for thought and be entertaining.

Yeah, that's not true at all. The first alien is really great from basically any perspective whether it be the set design, practical effects, cinematography, lighting and themes. As for action movies, Aliens is often cited as a great one, which as a sequel sort of ruins the first film but succeeds again visually and thematically.

Consider that you might be the sort of person who considers "story" too much when rating a film, which is primarily a visual medium.

Letting people walk all over you with no consequences is betamax-tier, and it's not like people wanting revenge is not realistic.
>>
>>133572550
The thing is also good and succeeds on pretty much the same level as Alien except in the use of a dramatic camera. I don't know how you can like one and not the other.

And the themes of the lone survivor girl, maternalism, and the invincible monster are done really well in Alien.

And Blade Runner in its restored director's cut is also an excellent film. No it's not as good as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep in terms of story. Yes, it's a cinematic powerhouse that helped codify an entire sci-fi aesthetic.

Seriously, if you think Blade Runner and Alien are bad, I question your taste in film.

Eh. Usual "urban" story that's too "street" for whites to watch.
>>
>>133573336
Because at their core, good revenge stories deal with more than just revenge as getting back and triumph. The Cask of Amontillado works because it subtly deals with the psychology and horror of deadly revenge. It's exemplary in how it shows the satisfaction of revenge as a "cold" dish.
>>
>>133573657

A nigger falls in love with a nigger.

Unable to nigger, nigger is gifted with by a nigger machina with the nigger's phone number. Never minding the strange nigger , nigger immediately calls nigger, and is overjoyed to find out that nigger has a nigger on nigger as well.

But, the next day, when nigger recounts the previous day's nigger to the nigger, nigger only looks at him with a nigger. After some investigation, nigger finds out that the nigger nigger called is not the same nigger he fell in love with. In fact, nigger doesn't exist in this nigger at all. nigger is the nigger's alternate nigger counterpart, who has fallen in love with the nigger 's own nigger , who too is blissfully unaware of nigger crush.

Hijinks ensue as nigger strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private nigger in order to equip the other with the nigger they need to conquer the heart of their nigger. While nigger chase their respective nigger , nigger ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the nigger of nigger.
