I love his work. Is he officially done making art/games?I wish akabur would work like this again
Last I heard he was still working very slowly on Star Channel 34.I love his work. Is he officially done making art/games?
Here's what google said about the meaning of "flamboyant":Which is why I said unlikely,not impossible.
Assets dont materialize out of thin air and as of right now the game shows no indicating towards it(if anything,it seems to whole heartedly embrace the whole cougar thing with Lin).
As I said,Im well aware of it being befitting of her development.
You...dont know what flamboyant means,do you?
She was a tomboy but certainly not flamboyant(admittedly part of that is the uniform).
Not the point(and actually holds very little relevance in stylized animation).
Toph´s trademark always was her gap moe concept(a palmtop tiger,if you allow me to steal from a different frenchise).
Completely abandoning said concept is asking for dissatisfaction and alienation.
As I already mentioned its validated in the narrative so I dont have a problem with it on that front,I just think it looks absolutely horrible(especially that jawline...jeez).
Take it as a personal knee-jerk reaction if you want to.
Maybe FET will finally find an answer to the grandfather paradox
I don't like Star Channel 34.Last I heard he was still working very slowly on Star Channel 34.
HmmmmHere's what google said about the meaning of "flamboyant":
"Tending to attract attention because of their exuberance, confidence, and stylishness."
Seems like I'm not the one who doesn't know what that means.
*cough* *cough*This is also the girl with nary a concern for appearance but all the love in the world for attaining immense strength. Toph pretty much IS a flamboyant dude.
Funny,never said that.Flamboyant isn't a label you slap onto someone who outwardly seems gay.
Well we agree that its narratively valid,so thats good.That was 12-year-old Toph's trademark. This is adult Toph. Her trademark is being a tough-as-nails cop. Retaining any of her "moe" features from childhood doesn't make sense at all.
She used to be a blind, little girl who looked so helpless and weak despite actually being incredibly strong.
Then she grew up.
I can understand not liking it, and that is perfectly fine, but saying it violates her character concept, when it's actually the logical direction, is just hilariously wrong.
Hmmmm
*cough* *cough*
Again,Toph was a tomboy,not flamboyant.
Funny,never said that.
Though it is true that its mostly associated with homosexuality these days.
Well we agree that its narratively valid,so thats good.
What I dont agree with is eliminating a characters trademark features for the sake of the narrative as the same could have been achieved by retaining a modicum of resemblance.
Retaining more petite features(though "moe" goes too far)wouldnt at all have hurt the base concept or narrative intentions(especially in a series that has shown multiple times that physical stature doesnt equal strength)while offering a stronger recognition to the viewer.
Or to rephrase it,I have a problem with the underlying design philosophy,not the narrative reasoning.
In so far I will keep my stance on them having screwed up the design(admittedly my initial reaction was exaggerated for comedic purposes).
Hmm. 2 out of 3. And when did *cough cough* those two become mutually exclusive? Wait, why am I debating this? This is irrelevant."Tending to attract attention because of their exuberance, confidence, and stylishness."
Adherence to timely fashion trends is an integral part of the describtor.Hmm. 2 out of 3. And when did *cough cough* those two become mutually exclusive? Wait, why am I debating this? This is irrelevant.
No,the artist determines how a characters features changes.What? The narrative determines how a character's features changes. The narrative determines everything. That's why it's called the "narrative." Toph had to embody the best form of outward authority she could, in circumstances where looking imposing is pretty much required. You'd think being petite would help deal with career criminals when she has to settle things as fast and with as little violence as possible?
I think you are having the wrong picture of what Im asking for.Maybe it's possible she could have retained some degree of apparent physical frailty into adulthood, and it would've shown if she wasn't in a profession where such things are detrimental.
Bending is based on chi which in turn is partly based on fitness,not pure muscle mass(otherwise our child protagonists would be squashed by any adult,as is the case in real life).And what are you tralking about again? The series has shown multiple times that physical stature does equate strength to a degree:
[...]
Toph is the ONLY definite example of physical stature having an extreme disconnect with strength in the series, which is what made her such a great character.
Why yes,I [insert whatever you wanted to ask here] Avatar,thank you for asking.Did you ever even Avatar, man? I will repeat that not liking the design is fine, but wrongly criticizing it's supposed misplacement is wrong.
Nooooope. That has never been a requirement. 2 out of 3 is plenty. You're thinking of a DANDY.Adherence to timely fashion trends is an integral part of the describtor.
2 out of 3 is most certainly not enough.
Noope again.No,the artist determines-.
Wut? Her features are still plenty feminine. She just has the bearing and stature expected of someone taking their job as the leader of a newly formed police force of a newly founded city seriously. The only reason you're complaining is because you're comparing her 40-year-old ADULT body to her TWELVE-year-old version.I think you are having the wrong picture of what Im asking for.
Im talking about a smaller(but toned)build and more feminine facial features.
Not for Toph to turn into an anorexic wallflower that can barely carry her own weight.
No, you claimed the series showed that physical stature does not equate strength so I brought up examples proving that wrong. (NVM that the Kyoshi Warriors weren't benders )Bending is based on chi which in turn is partly based on fitness,not pure muscle mass(otherwise our child protagonists would be squashed by any adult,as is the case in real life).
I never bemoaned Toph being fit but to what degree they took that idea.
Doesn't seem like you did, sorry.Why ye
True and I would rather not risk the ire of a disgruntled mod over something like this.I'm still scared of getting penalized for derailing a thread.
Don't know about the watch, but right now that's it. The last Jinora content at the moment is telling her about The Talk and then her walking in her mommy and daddy later that day.How do I continue with Jinora? I talked to her about her feelings and chose the I'll think about them option or whatever. Since then talking to her just makes her say shes watching the fish. Also was it a mistake to buy the watch?
