I'd say the only moment in this thread that actually fits. Brings back a character long dead for no good reason at all, and then he dies again like an idiot having accomplished nothing.
Definitely not stronger than every faction ever after losing their MAIN stronghold. Like how do they have ANOTHER (or 2 with Broken Steel) main stronghold on the other side of the US without anyone else knowing?
World of Warcraft just released a questline where a quest mob you killed almost two decades ago is the end boss. No build up to it, nobody cares that it's them, they just show up at the last moment, you kill them and get a "well now they're dead again everything is fixed".
The worst part about Danganronpa is that the b***h from the first game keeps showing up to ruin the endings in the sequels. She's fine in the first game, but it's baffling that they keep bringing her back as if the story can't function without her.
>Ridley is probably actually super for real dead now going forward in the Metroid timeline, unless Phantoon shows up again and whips out GHOST RIDLEY or something.
Damn shame, I'm going to miss that space dragon autist.
Brand identity will always be more important for Nintendo than STORY. He's part of the Metroid brand, he's not going anywhere
Cloning Ridley is 100% in characters for the Space Pirates. It'd makes sense even if it's lazy from a narrative sense.
But I hope the pirates are done for after Super and they never come back. So far they've managed to bring new villains, let's see how long they can keep it.
There are more problems than just the fact that Sheev was cloned: >It was brought in the last movie of the trilogy as quick lazy fix after Rian subverted all over Snoke >Somehow Palpatine performed an incredibily difficult force trick (conscience transplant) while falling down a giant pit while shooting lightning from his fingers >Somehow he has a bigger and more powerful fleet than the Empire or the Republic ever had but never uses it outside of his Final Boss dungeon
It's the kind of shit you expect from a cheesy video game story.
unironically what's the issue here? The explanation is literally just that he is very hard to kill, unless you seem to think the reason HAS to be more elaborate than that (it doesn't).
probably the last decade of WoW writing. >Somehow....Garrosh escaped, went to another timeline, almost-but-not-quite conquered the world, and then conveniently returned through a portal leaving it open and allowing us to go and defeat him instead of simply waiting another couple years to finish consolidating his power and building a bigger army when he's literally untouchable in another dimension we didn't even know existed
and that was 2014. It's been SHARPLY downhill ever since....
A simple line or two explaining why Garrosh was forced to initiate the attack right then would have salvaged this. But Blizzard was too busy worrying about other shit, like cash shop mounts and transmog items.
yeah literally one sentence about his connection to azeroth weakening with time and needing to invade then or lose the opportunity could have fixed everything, AND been excellent characterization as Garrosh would have willingly given up guaranteed world domination of AU draenor for the sake of his revenge against MU Azeroth, showing that his pride (which was literally his mortal sin in MoP) was his downfall. But no that's too much effort, so they just make everyone involved fricking moronic and we effortlessly establish alliances with the dozens of unconquered factions and races and rebels he never dealt with before invading through the dark portal for ??????
This game sucks ass and I will never be convinced otherwise

>Somehow The Enclave returned
I just know Beth is going to try this again in 5
If it ever actually comes out before Michaelcuk shuts them down too
I don't, because they might actually go with the Enclave on the Moon plot point.
Yes but everyone claps instead of sighs.
This isn't as bad because with an org as big as that some remnants would always remain and those remnants could always put it back together

AAA Corps, and the idiots who keep feeding them money.
That moment in Yoshi's New Island when Bowser just shows up.

isn't WoW literally just killing the same enemies over and over again
>two decades ago
>you

Did they even make an unfunny, played out, “merely a setback” joke?
Also which quest mob? I stopped playing in cata
Who?
That didn't happen moron.
Somehow Bhaal returned in BG3.
Joel's death in TLOU 2. Still didn't bought a game,just watch it on YT.
Mass Effect 4 when Shepherd (and the reapers) return
>somehow Blizzard got bought
>they bought?
>dump it
Legend of Zelda
>Somehow Ganondorf has returned...
I think skyward sword really takes the cake as far as that is concerned by introducing Demise.

when recurring nintendo boss meets the guy that killed your parents

I wish Dread had DLC explaining how the frick Kraid came back with the cloning technology.
