Lighthearted, but I hate that Lego sets are all really bad. Except for Ninjago’s dragons. Which are all kind of reskinned anyway, they’re pretty bad.
I miss Castle, Kingdoms, even Nexo Knights. I bought the 100 USD Lego Castle 3-in-1 two years ago but I really resent that Lego seems to be allergic to that old genre.
Harry Potter legos are really bad. Just an awful wizard-isekai-school aesthetic.
Also, Emet-Selch is only the interesting villain because the other villains in FF14 are really tame and one dimensional and Emet-Selch benefits from a halo effect because of it.
I hate Zenos so much. Not like good antagonist hate but obnoxious bad character hate. Fuck him for ruining the ending of Endwalker. I wanted to literally just walk away after Endsinger and leave his stupid ass standing around at the end of the universe. He didn’t do shit Middy could have flown me but no the incel prince had to show up and neg the antispiral.
It annoyed me how many people were bazinga for the “that, I cannot deny” dialogue choice before the final battle with Zenos.
I wish there was some Alisaie-inspired “fuck you, you don’t get a final battle, you deserve to be lonely and unfulfilled for all you have already done” option but the best I could do was “believe what you want, but you are not leaving here.”
It was pretty funny socking him as a Lalafell, hehe.
I appreciate that Zenos is portrayed more transparently as a “not this asshole again” kind of character, unlike the beloved Emet-Selch who even unto his temporary rebirth in Ultima Thule said “My ideals are inviolate and invincible (read: He’s still proud of being a Magic nazi and viewing the sundered as lesser beings even after the context of reclaiming his memories)”
(Midgardsomr was incapacitated from the events in Omega back in Stormblood, I think.)
Even more so once he fixates on the WoL. Big “Ma’am can you spare just a crumb of pussy combat? No? You’re making me massacre these civilians you bitch” energy.
Fandaniel’s jokerfication is much more interesting. Up there with Garlean Gendo Ikari.
It was pretty funny socking him as a Lalafell, hehe.
I’m sad that CiderSpider stopped making “Mad Because Small” videos, because I wanted to see Pantene Pro-V and Small have a slapfight then see if Crystal Mom would take Small to Wendy’s after all.
I heard someone say once that Lego sucks now because they lost the trademark to that exact style of brick and people can make what they make cheaper and better so they had to pivot to IP to still have a niche.

Yeah I wanted the same. My little sch catgirl ending up in a fistfight with that jackass was a supremely unsatisfying conclusion.
For non-melee classes that felt especially off, didn’t it?
My dadbod knightcat fit kind of but he would have totally heeded the most comrady of the Scions and just told Zenos to fuck off if he could.

Say what you want about the tenets of Emet-Selch at least it’s an ideology. Zenos is literally just a fight incel.
“I’m bored so time to do atrocities to feel something” is pure chanlord brain, yeah.
And Fandaniel had achieved levels of Jokerfication that are hard to imagine.
Even more so once he fixates on the WoL. Big “Ma’am can you spare just a crumb of
pussycombat? No? You’re making me massacre these civilians you bitch” energy.Fandaniel’s jokerfication is much more interesting. Up there with Garlean Gendo Ikari.
I actually hoped for a longer more satisfying villain arc for Fandaniel.
I even hoped for a surprise eleventh hour “Akuma/Gouki owns Bison/Vega” final boss switcheroo, but noooooooooo.

It’s a very petty thing but it’s annoying to me how 90% of contemporary Lego figures have some kind of DreamWorks face.
