This Is Such A Good Point I Never Realized, But For My First Time Playing I Was Dumb Cuz I Knew Nothing

This is such a good point I never realized, but for my first time playing I was dumb cuz I knew nothing but now I know a lot since I've played for a while now, this is such a great idea 😍

Unpopular Opinion: Ratha shouldn’t have gained the ability to fly

Hear me out:

Story-wise, Ratha is YOUR Monstie, your baby, the little ceature that you’d risk your life for. But Gameplay-wise? He doesn’t exactly bring much to the table, and aside from fancy wings and a slight variation in his kinship-animation, there’s nothing he can do that a normal Rathalos can’t do as well.

I don’t know about you, but for a Monstie that I was stuck with for 90% of the game, I cared surprisingly little for Ratha. The only battle that I was stubborn enough to ONLY use him was the final Oltura-battle, and even then I didn’t care all that much for the final cutscene.

Tbh, as soon as I finished the main campaign and could swap Ratha out of my team, I replaced him with an Azure Rathalos that I named Dash, and this absolute King stayed on my team until I reset the file.

Ratha just… doesn’t feel important, especially after the final battle where you can find Rathalos-eggs everywhere.

Personally, I feel like Ratha should have been the ONLY normal Rathalos obtainable in the game. And in addition to that, I think that he shouldn’t have learned to fly.

Why?

Story-wise, Oltura is the Monster with the Wings of Ruin. And Ratha’s Razewings? Well. Why exactly his wings are crippled when he hatches from the egg isn’t really explained. Personally, I would have LOVED for Ratha to keep his spooky Razewings and just be a ground-based Rathalos.

And in the cutscene where he gains his wings… what if his flight to save the MC would have looked like his chase after the Rage-Rayed Legiana, where he got all grey and his wings glowed in this creepy, purple light?

Just… imagine. MC gets thrown overboard, Ratha’s powers awaken for a short moment and his wing-membranes open just like in the Legiana-Cutscene and he flies after the MC, all while looking like he came straight out of Satan’s basement.

And instead of him, MC, Ena and Navirous flying off into sunset on Ratha’s newly awakened wings, he plunges down onto the ground after having caught the MC, his wing-membranes close up and he keeps his crippled wings. Because… he doesn’t have the Wings of Ruin.

It would have played nicely into this “Ratha’s power can be used for good”-talk: Ratha uses his ‘dangerous’ powers to save his Rider, without changing his appearance to look like a normal, “good” Rathalos.

(idk how the cutscene would have played out then, with Ratha not being able to escape the Hunters by flight, but idk… maybe his kinship-attack would have gotten stronger and he just shoots the ship out of the air with a big-ass fireball-)

Just…. I think that Razewing Ratha has TONS of wasted potential. I don’t think anyone plays the endgame with him on their team, just because he doesn’t bring anything unique to the table that no other Rathalos can also do.

On my first playthrough, I honestly hoped that Ratha would stay flightless, just because it would fit the whole “Wings of Ruin”-Narrative and throw in some confusion. Like-

“One beat of his wings could bring ruin to the world.”

“Okay, but… how can Ratha beat his wings if he can’t fly.”

“….well-”

And the Oltura rolls up with its six wings and the MC and Ratha just stare at everyone that gave them shit and are like “AH YES, RATHA HAS THE WINGS OF RUIN, NOT THIS MOTH-LOOKING-MOTHERFUCKER!”

(how the Riding-ability to fly would have been unlocked if Ratha couldn’t fly,,,, uuhhhhhh…. idk. Cheval, Avinia and Alwin all have Monsties that can fly, maybe there could have been a scene where Monsties and Riders get seperated and are forced to work together with the other person’s Monstie, so that MC then can fly around on Rathi, Shulk or Frostfang to search for their partners from above. Idk, just give me Razewing-Ratha back, his wings were cool)

One of the things that ABSOLUTELY BUGS ME is when people in the hallways don't know how to FUCKING MOVE!! like dude I'm trying to get to my class, or the bus!!! MOVE YOUR LEGS, YOU HAVE THEM FOR A FUCKING RESSON!!!!

Yes. I love this!! 😍

DP DC(Batman) crossover

Vlad after a ton of therapy tries to be a better uncle for Danny, his best Idea is letting him run VladCo for a while. Danny is some how really good at it and Sam and Tucker help him work on making its products reliable and environmentally sustainable. When Dannys around 17 VladCo ends up being one of the most environmentally friendly corporations and has some of the best working conditions in the US.

Because Danny’s now the CEO he has to go to fundraisers and gala events, there he meets another teenage CEO, Tim Drake-Wayne.

As the only people anywhere near each other’s age they spend a ton of time talking and whenever they end up at the same event they spend a ton of time talking to each other and discussing business practices. They end up becoming gala friends with both of them having no idea the other’s also a vigilante.

Until one of the fundraisers is attacked by a villain and both of them have to fight as civilians but spend the entire time recognizing that the other person is fighting in a way that has way too many similarities to vigilante actions.

Both of them end up figuring out the other definitely fights crime and which vigilante they are after everything’s over (the child to bat number matches & Phantom is just palette swap Danny), and are now awkwardly hinting they know each others identify at all the next events.

Danny Phantom prompt!!

Okay, so, I feel like if Danny's first encounter with nocturne wasn't bad and Danny just encounter him when he got lost in the ghost zone after chasing a ghost through it that Danny would have loved nocturne.

THINK ABOUT IT!! Nocturne looks like space and in my head (and in fanfictions) I love it when Danny has a protection obsession and a space obsession so when he sees nocturne he's overjoyed and is just gushing over this ghost who looks like space!

And even better if nocturne is just like, "who's child is this? YOUR PARENTS ARE GHOST HUNTERS THAT WANT TO LITERALLY DISSECT YOU??!!!!! uh-huh not on my watch you are now my child."

Then there's Danny who just goes along with it because he's sick of hearing his parents rant about their hatred of Phantom and this space ghost is really nice to him and even put stars into the black parts of his suit!!

I'm begging for someone to write this!!!!!!

Omg. OH MY GOD!!!

guys

When it comes to batman fics I'm so used to reading "domino mask" as "dominion mask" that I don't know if I'll ever be able to stop.....
