Because it’s the commonly accepted acronym for point of view. Seeing as we’re in the middle of a worldwide character shortage, using acronyms is all but necessary for finishing sent

No-no-no-no-no!

There’s no such thing as a word choice that’s, “objectively better.” It all depends on what you’re writing. More specifically, it depends on the tone you’re going for in what you’re writing.

For example, if your PoV character is a child then even in a third person narrative you’re going to want to stick…

Well, you had the end of Dragonball Super early in the year. MHA season three partway through. Then Jojo, Goblin Slayer, and That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime all at the tail end. Between all that and the shows mentioned by the editor, I’d say it was a pretty solid year. Maybe not as crazy good as some previous…

And yes, I know some people have liked this season, and others have hated it. Still, this early on the goodwill grace period for new Doctors is usually in full effect. For there to be mixed reviews this early is a bad sign.

But I digress, this is only my opinion. All of you are entitled to your own.

See, this is why I was skeptical of the idea of gender-swapping The Doctor.

First, it wasn’t needed for Representation. Doctor Who has a long history of strong female characters already. I don’t think I need to remind people that River Song is a thing, after all.

More importantly, it demonstrated a glaringly unbalanced…

Counterpoint, they charged money for Blizzcon tickets and this is what they gave the fans. Sorry, but this isn’t “gamers rise” this is “fans raging” and for good reason if they had blown money on a blizzcon ticket.

Yeah, Toby has already come out and definitively stated that this is an entirely different world from Undertale. What’s more, he also stated in fairly plain terms that Delta Rune doesn’t in any way affect Undertale’s ending. Whatever ending you got in Undertale is still canon and nothing here’s going to change that.

My, it must be great to go through life without integrity! 9_9

Exactly.

Mary Jane has plenty of personality in the comics. Sure, it often takes a backseat to Spiderman, it is his comic after all. Even so, Mary Jane is one of the most heavily fleshed out non-costumed characters in all the comics. Saying she has never been given enough attention to make her feel like a real person…

Ehhhh, not really. She’s still mostly herself.

I mean we’re talking about a character who’s quite literally stolen a gun from two thugs she electrocuted into unconsciousness and rushed off to force villains away from Peter at gunpoint.

but there hasn’t really been a generally poorly-received one.

“Be respectful!”

Sit down, boy, you’re about to get schooled. Do you have any inkling at all of just how progressive Star Trek was for it’s time? Seriously- Do you know just what was going on that Roddenberry was directly challenging?

DS9 didn’t really throw out Roddenberry’s vision, it just pointed how that there would naturally be a difference between “The Hheartland” of the Federation itself, and places out on “The Frontier”.

The problem is that TLJ’s writing sucked so bad. And that was all Rian Johnson’s work there. He went lazy with Luke, he needed luke to be out of the way so Rey could take over the heroes journey. Rather than let Luke be a person who completed his journey and be a real mentor on the new Journey for Rey, Rian just…

Real people can’t be good. Got it. Everyone here is conflating realism with pessimism, and it pisses me off. At no point was Picard anything other than human. He could be ruthless and hard. He suffered trauma, and had to take time to heal. What he never was was cynical or bitter. That’s not unrealistic it’s just good.

And the whole thing with Luke is that while his ending was everything I could have hoped for the character he had to go fucking backwards to do it. They wanted to make the new trilogy about the new characters but undeserved them by focusing on the deaths and making the biggest moments in these movies about those OT…

DS9 built up a long road to reach Sisko’s lowest point in that episode (In the Pale Moonlight). And Sisko was never as morally inflexible as Picard was, to change Picard that would be a major 180 in his character, and unless it was really well built (which is unlike TLJ) it would turn me off from such a series.

It’s like I said in another article: Nobody nowadays knows how to write a character unless they’re constantly in angst over something. 

Here is the thing though. Picard pretty much represents the idealized version of what humanity can be in the Star Trek universe. If you “Skywalker” him then you sh*t on Rodenberry’s whole progressive vision of humanity striving to achieve their potential, which is pretty much the whole point of Star Trek.
