Smithee

In other words -- kicking the BBS trio while they're not just down, but buried. And Nomura wonders why so many fans are burned out.

That's the problem -- not that she fell to Darkness, but that it flies in the face of both Blank Points and A Fragmentary Passage (and retcons the latter into a waste of time). Remember MX's @$$pull omniscience from DDD, and how it retconned the heroes into failures since KH1? It's practically that all over again, just on a smaller scale.

I.e., an @$$pull. :rolleyes:

Luxord was able to teleport/trap(?) Sora's friends (including Riku while he still had "Ansem"'s form and powers) away with just an Infinity War-style fingersnap. And he only lost because he insisted on fighting Sora on an even field. That's "weak"?

Tetsuya Nomura -- the M. Night Shyamalamadingdong of RPGs.

Now we just need Demyx (and given the trend, he's probably a Seeker, too). Oh, and REPLIKU'S BACK?! Given how MX was able to turn Ven into an artificial "Prince" Of Heart... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dctocak6Hw

I just learned about Luxord's role in KH3. On the plus side, yay! On the minus side, seeing him 'Norted is depressing because he was one of the more-sympathetic original members.

It would make much-more sense if everything in Blank Points and A Fragmentary Passage hadn't practically screamed, "SHE'S A DARKNESS-RESISTING TANK!" If anything, the not-uncommon theory of her becoming Light Is Not Good (not unlike Eraqus) via blaming Darkness for everything it's caused her and her friends holds more weight than Aquanort. Plothole is plothole.

Yeah, I can't discount the not-weak possibility that it's just another illusion by the Realm Of Trollness Darkness.

Provided this isn't just another red-herring illusion, that is.

Once again, Nomura forsakes consistency in favor of "WHAT A TWEEST!"

Alas, he's a Black Hole Sue now; logic means nothing to him. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Eddie Murphy himself was somehow 'Norted just for the sole purpose of making that meme (which will somehow factor into MX's unnecessarily convoluted plan to finally, this-time-for-real, no-takebacks-we-swear unlock KH next year).

To be fair, the newest revelation about her does seem to cheaply fly in the face of everything established about her in 2 whole games. Provided it's not just another Dark Realm illusion, that is.

Vesperia's always been my favorite Tales. Also, on a random note, I can't be the only one who thinks Yuri kind-of looks like a young Undertaker (WWE): https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/aselia/images/5/5f/Yuri_Lowell.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20081020204945 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CeCTS9LKqmc/maxresdefault.jpg

Xemnas: *Explicitly mentions "weakness of trust" as a disqualifying factor for vessels.* MX: *Chooses a would-be traitor (Saix), 2 actual traitors (Marluxia and Larxene), and possibly even someone already deemed unfit for being too pro-Light in BBS (Aqua(?)).*

Wishful-thinkingly with WWF No Mercy.

Gee, thanks a lot, Deuce Drop Distance.

Basically, half of all fanfiction is just R34 scenarios.

Never change, Wade:

Half of all fanfiction, in a nutshell:

What they all said.

Bale was much better as Bruce than Batman, IMO.

Why Deadpool can never be in Miraculous Ladybug:

Especially since every KH (arguably excluding KH2) has already done the bittersweet thing to death. Quite a few fans are just burned out and want some unambiguous catharsis for once.
