Which end-of-a-decade-long saga villain has the most unsatisfying conclusion?
Which end-of-a-decade-long saga villain has the most unsatisfying conclusion?
Attack on Titan
Thanos' conclusion was pure pottery.
Which one got axed in a completely random deviation from the source material so that they could pander to retards?
Thanos is a grapefruit big baddy
Night King is a dumb ice nigger
The third one I don't even know
Considering Kingdom Hearts III sucked ass, I'd say that was probably the worst.
That version of Thanos had a very satisfying conclusion.
Xenahort or whatever his name is never had any chance to have a satisfying conclusion to his arc because they lost the plot forever ago.
Thus the Night King by virtue of it being plain shit.
>kingdom farts
Hahahahahahshahahahahshshshahahahahaha
Xehanort. Being evil all this time and then his motive was "I just wanted to make the world a blank slate...because...."
And then Jesus Hamil took him to keyblade heaven
The Night King, of course. My only hope right now is that Bran is evil and the true final boss.
Thanos did what he set out to do.
I have washed my hands clean of Kingdom Hearts. I played the first two people FF mixed with Disney when I was a teen, and didn't play the others. Now, the story is literally gibberish and there are no FF characters in it. Who cares at this point?
How am I supposed to judge Kingdom Hearts? It looks incomprehensibly stupid. I can't imagine anyone finding anything remotely interesting in it unless that person has the intelligence of, i don't know, a fucking furry. that's what i see when i look at kingdom hearts: a furry convention.
Out of those 3?
The Night King, easily.
Thanos may've been contradicted by Endgame slightly, but he was still a mad titan who stayed mostly true to his ambitions and represented a tragic angle to his backstory, ultimately culminating in a finite defeat despite how convoluted the time travel plotline was for the last movie of the current saga.
Xehanort's plot was fucking dumb as shit, but he was shounen-tier shit courtesy of Nomura's inconsistent autism whose motivation got retconned and he just wound up as a boring villain in the end.
>BBS: "I want to bring balance between light and darkness because there's too much light in the universe & I'm curious about Kingdom Hearts."
>KH3: "lol Just kidding. I was actually loyal to the light the whole time and I'm a misguided good guy who actually wanted to purge the universe of life in order to keep the darkness at bay and reset light in order to bring forth balance to the universe. But now, I've seen the error of my ways, and you win. Now, I'm gonna go fuck off to heaven with my bishounen BF who I killed 12 years ago."
The Night King, however, had so much intrigue behind his motivations and mysterious ambitions that fans had theorized it for years as to what he wants and what his connections to Bran were, as well as whether or not the Azor Ahai Prophecy could be fulfilled by Jon Snow. He was initially made out to be the final boss of the series as what was truly intended. And what did we get instead?
>the dumbest military tactics ever put on TV
>the White Walkers never go to King's Landing for some reason
>the Wights never assist the Night King
>the Night King smirking
>dragon fire not affecting the Night King
>Jon Snow never engages the Night King in a duel
>Bran's connection to the Night King never being explained
>the Azor Ahai Prophecy never got fulfilled
>Arya Stark killing the Night King with a weapon drop gut attack ala TLJ
8 years of hype squandered for the sake of "muh subversion."
GET SUBVERTED YOU FUCKING GOY FILTH. YOU ARE AS CATTLE TO US, FUCKING CATTLE.
Thanos's deaths were lame but at least he actually did shit and was so unstoppable they had to go back in time and kill a weaker version of him
Xehanorts ending was kino, I wanted to kill him but his redemption warmed my heart
Night King died without ever achieving anything but destroying part of the wall. Worst conclusion ever
Why is every of one them bald?
Everybody, except perfect Arya, was a retard in that episode. The humans had thousands of years of combat strategy between them, yet they devised a strategies that made them seem like they were never in a battle in their entire lives. The Night King and the White Walkers were also stupid, because they could have just sat back and did nothing, but they had to stroll into Winterfell for no reason. The Night King tries to take on two dragons at once and gets wrecked, but instead of staying back and letting his undead army take care of everything, he stuck his neck out and died to a teleporting goblin assassin.
I'm really getting sick of this recent trend of "subversion" trying to mask itself as "good writing" that's been plaguing Western media for the past number of years of the current decade. So many writing hacks trying to get away with this shit, and it's making me lose faith in modern literature.
>Thanos
Dies twice and the second time was literally from bullshit time-travel breaking rules that should have fucked the timeline up big time but didn't
>Night King
El Goblino stabby stab because SUBVERTED EXPECTATIONs
>Xehanigger
Was actually just a Light faggot the whole time and get to chill in heaven with his Shota boy toy
Imagine caring about story in video games.
Imagine watching kike propaganda.
Kingdom Hearts is more cutscene than game. It's a playable shounen battle anime.
Imagine liking/paying for/interacting with whatever gookshit you just typed.
how is buying 8 $60 video games over the past decade much different than spending $30-$50 at the theater to watch 22 superhero movies
It gets worse because people try to have it both ways. They excuse the Night King's Hollywood villainy as him just being cocky, yet they defend Arya materializing out of thin air as subversive. It's laziness on the part of the writers, plain and simple.
I can excuse sincere bad writing easier than this cocky tripe. They don't want to do any heavy lifting, but also can't sacrifice their egos, so they parade this ironic shit in as a "big twist."
Well, one is a visual medium you interact with passively that's judged on its composition.
The other is software you interact with actively that's judged on its gameplay. Somewhere along the line, everything started getting fully voiced and the production value in video games went into facial/motion captured appearances by waning Hollywood B-listers vying to break back into A-list, fully voiced crap content, and "pushing the limits" of graphical fidelity... on consoles.
I'm not saying both industries aren't being mismanaged. Hollywood is (((compromised.))) But, as per my original post, caring about story in video games is tantamount to caring about the introductory and end credits of a film.
KH3 was good though
Subverted is just jew repackaging of something that 'makes no literary sense' because it doesn't really have a theme, subtext or any foreshadowing or poetic reason to happen. The reason the audience doesn't expect it is because it doesn't make sense to happen - there's no moral or underlying theme.
Thanos didn't lose so??
A different Thanos lost, the real Thanos butfucked the Avengers without trying then retired.
It does keep working though. Rian Johnson threwaway potential plotlines and retards praised him for it. D&D threw away prophecies and retconned previous scenes in an effort to shock the viewers, and now retards are watching Arya scenes from season one to find foreshadowing that isn't there.
Well in a way current timeline Thanos still lost. He got his snap reversed.
He died thinking he won, but still.
Why are all his underlings pretty boys, but he's just some bald dude?
Kane.
This. Stopped after that thing happened to Sasha on the blimp. Way too many plot twists that were not needed. Marley arc was boring as shit
Thought it was "Most satisfying", sorry.
Vergil is such a shitty villain.
He won, he accomplished his goal and they had to sit with it for 5 years. They never beat him he beat himself, literally with the 2nd snap he destroyed his body. By the time they got to him he was retired from the fight and they threw a temper tantrum. If the good guy has to resort to time travel shenanigans that nobody knew was even possible then I call that a win for the other guy.
Well, he's not even a villain really. Just an antagonist.
