Motherfucker preach!
I like some Anime because I get bored with Hollywood, and I really just want something different, I hate most anime because the 16yo boy who is thrust into the role of the hero surrounded by attractive half naked women with huge tits and is constantly embarrassed but yet somehow manages to constantly save the day because reasons is even more played out than the NCIS writing room.
The Isekai thing is so fucking played out, Its possibly the laziest writing trope ever.
I work with too many people who insist on giving me the smartarse answer to EVERY fucking question.
Every day I have to ask every station “Do you need any assistance today?” And “Do you have enough work to fill your shift?” And every day “YEah yOu cAn WaSh mY cAr! HehEheHe” and “yEaH iF I geT thrOugH thIs I’lL jUsT tAKe a nAp!”
And every month we have to do a drivers licence check and every damn month the same people “wHaT lIcEnCe!?!”
Fuck cunt, grow up. I hate doing this shit as much as you hate being asked, why are you making it take twice as long!?!
Ive now got beef with him and I never met the guy.
From Shadowrun but still…
“Its not terrorism, its a distract spell thats materials involve C4 and a bridge”
Just because it can be done well doesnt mean it isn’t a shortcut around good writing for a LOT of these stories.
It hands the writer a blank cheque for exposition and worldbuilding because the main character needs to have everything explained to them or figure everything out and it excuses any form of set up as to the how and why the character is in this situation.
