Favorite and least favorite Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonists?

[down]Perhaps Mega Evolutions returning and seeing them stack with the Terastalization mechanic. Also characters from previous regions such as Alola and Galar appearing here with new redesigns and Mega Evolutions for their Pokemon that appear in those regions. Also, maybe the ability to swim (and dive) in water without the need for a Pokemon or vehicle, which would necessitate the use of an oxygen meter.

What Pokemon concept you would like to see in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

[down] Oh, ho ho *cracks knuckles and does the Anime Glasses thing*

First off while Marie Antoinette may not been the best queen, she is still best girl. And about the queen part, can't 100% blame her for that as she wasn't expected to be Queen of France in the first place. Yet some of her unmarried older sisters that were supposed to marry Louis XVI but they got sick and died, so she was pretty much the only other option left, so IIRC her education was rushed. That and there was also France going into a financial crisis over the years which she wasn't really experienced to deal with it. Also French nobles did spend their money like how people drink a lot of water on hot days, so that didn't help with the financial crisis.

Even with her somewhat costly fashionista passion, Marie did still try to help out through donating to charities and selling off her jewelry. Hell, she declined the infamous du Berry Necklace, due to it being too costly. Alas after some framing on Jeanne de Valois' part, the Affair of the Necklace happened and dragged Marie's already declining reputation to the ground, eventually becoming the most hated woman in 18th century France. That scandal was one of the things that helped kick-start the French Revolution. And as you might be aware, she ended up losing her head in 1793. That was after being imprisoned in the Tuliere Palace, a failed escape through the Flight in Varannes, sent to the Temple prison, her husband (who she grew to love dearly) getting beheaded, and being separated from her children, and living a miserable life in another prison (this time being the Conciergerie). While I admit that Marie could've done better as queen, the beheading was kinda excessive; like sending her back to good ol' Austria would've been fine, but the Reign of Terror was merciless and Marie's rep didn't help, so extreme measures was expected.

On a much lighter note, Marie was a decent mom. She loved her children dearly and when two of her children died young prior to the Revolution she mourned them deeply. When her first bio kid, Marie-Thérèse Charlotte, the Madame Royale who grew up to become Duchess of Angouleme (who is another subject I'm quite interested in), Marie wasn't disappointed in the fact that she wasn't a boy (only boys could inherit the French throne cause typical misogyny bs ofc) and said this to her newborn child:

Poor little one, you are not desired, but you will be none the less dear to me! A son would have belonged to the state—you will belong to me

Yeah, it's clear (at least IMO) that Marie loved her daughter right away and she also gave her an Affectionate Nickname (Mousseline, which in this context I think was referring to the silk since Mousseline refers to multiple things). She also was close with her younger son, Louis Charles AKA Louis XVII and was considered her favorite (Marie also had an affectionate nickname for him - Chou d'Amour). When Charles was forcibly taken away from her during their stay in the Temple prison, it fucked Marie hard. When Marie was on trial that would lead to her execution, amongst other things, she was accused of doing something... truly bad to her son (which I won't say the exact details here cause it's very fucked up), she appealed to the mothers in the court, saying a mother doesn't even think of doing such a thing to her child.

Yeah, and that shall be all for my Marie Antoinette Ted Talk. Oh and Kirsten Dunst Marie and Fate/Grand Order Marie are my favorite portrayals of her.

Favorite movie?

[down]I don't really know a lot of cat breeds actually. I'll say European shorthair for my favorite, if only because that's every cat I've ever owned. Least favorite? I dunno, maybe those sphynx cats without hair? I still think they're kinda cute in their own way, but I just like the fluff, you know.

Favorite cat breeds, and least favorite cat breeds? (Sorry if this has been asked before)

[down]Still a bit cautious on it. I wasn't a big fan of the films for changing a lot from the books, and I'm gonna wait until this series actually comes out before deciding if it's great or not.

Do you have any thoughts on the Disney+ Percy Jackson series?


[down]I don't like the idea that In Name Only adaptations are necessarily bad. If an adaptation makes a bunch of changes from the source material, I try to question why those changes were made rather than immediately getting annoyed that it was changed at all. If an adaptation is unfaithful to the point of being unrecognisable, I judge it on its own merits rather than in relation to the source material; a bad adaptation does not equal a bad story.

Worst case of an In Name Only adaptation in your opinion?

[down] The version Legendaries themselves. I can't even make up my mind which version to get since I like them both so much. 😅

Not including those two, though, Fuecoco is still my #1 favorite so far (not that I don't like any of the others, though, in particular, I like Smoliv, Cetitan, and Cyclizar a lot).

I am very interested in Chloe Jessica's question for Cutegirl920fire above. Are there any characters, people, etc. that you think you could gush about for two minutes?

[down]Balan Wonderworld... kind of? I haven't actually played it, but I am disappointed that the gameplay is enough to make everyone dump so much hatred on it. I love NiGHTS into Dreams…, which this game was meant to be the Spiritual Successor to. NiGHTS doesn't deserve that. And besides, I think the artwork and music in Balan are excellent.

Shallowest parody you can recall seeing?

[down] Apologies for the late response!

Some parodies I can think of off the top of my head include a lot of VeggieTales' parodies ("Lord of the Beans" and "Sumo of the Opera" are some of my favorite episodes) and some of the spoofs on How It Should Have Ended (like the Spider-Man 3 one; "I TOOK A BOMB TO THE FACE, DUDE."). I'm not a real big fan of the MAD cartoon either, but there are a few parodies from it that I thought were Actually Pretty Funny, like "Destroy, Bob the Builder, Destroy" (especially since Bob himself gets the last laugh) and "The Buzz Identity" (if only for just how utterly ridiculous it gets).
