name an instance of a character having the ability to see into the future and the story not becoming boring because of it
I suppose you are technically right, but Part 3 was boring for other reasons
Well, there's the myth of Oedipus, where the upcoming tragedy gets accurately predicted on two separate occasions, but MC fricks everything up anyway. Admittedly there's some confusion involved, but overall Greeks handled prophecy narratives pretty well.
senyuu
>big dick endboss activates his future vision
>sees himself getting punched in the face
>immediately afterwards gets punched for real
classic gag
the ones where they are either wrong (future gets changed) or where they misinterprete the future in a contradictory fashion to how they set it up as
CoO Haki
Not true future sight, just vague predictions of what your enemy will do
>Villain can see the future
>Explains outloud to the heroes how they are going to fail for no reason at all
>They do something different and win
Clearly they should pull a Kamen Rider Agito and Rider Kick God
Based fellow Kamen Rider watcher
King Crimson could erase time
Epitath could see an imperfect vision of the ten seconds in the future
Toth is the worst stand out there
That reminds me of this dope
Early Heisei Rider are so fricking great
Yes, but I felt ripped off when I watched Ryuki. A lot that I felt was promised was missing, Gaim is a better Ryuki, I think. Reiwa Riders are really struggling
If the villain misinterprets the scene it can work.
>hero sees the future
>that is not at all what happens to him later
>villain poisoned the water
>now everyone dead
>whoops
What wrong? Sounds pretty kino for villain
>villain poisoned the water
>thanks to that, it's found that the sewage system is really outdated and would cause serious long term problems
>also investigation shows that he only got to the water treatment plant because the money for the security system was embezzled, so he inadvertently busted a major fraud ring
>also the poison only causes mild diarrhea and is a good source of vitamin C
>whoops
>villain shoots the hero
>fixes his shoulder instead
>whoops
>Villain deceives hero's friends/loved ones
>Hero tries to reveal the truth
>Hero fails, and is given legit info about why the villain is what the are
>Hero believes this
>Hero apologizes to villain
>"Guess what, hero? I really am a villain!"
Dominator's song was cool
Everyone already new she was a villain.
I mean the arch of lord Hater who fell in love with the Dominator, and then she laughed at them before the song
>arch
Arc
yeah Skrawl was kino
Has he ever killed someone?
A man often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
I actually wrote a villain who does this, and the reason why it works is because he's as locked into the future he sees as everyone else. If he were able to avert the future he saw he wouldn't be able to see it in the first place, so he has to constantly do a coin toss between looking into the future and risking being permafricked, versus not being able to use his most powerful ability. Once he sees an outcome, it's certain to happen King Crimson style.
Just because he knows something is going to happen doesn't mean he can stop it, any more than you can forsee yourself punching a locomotive off of the tracks. The thing he predicts has to be possible in order for him to predict it, and he doesn't know what outcome he gets until he looks, but once he predicts it, it's locked in place.
You mean that your villain just copy king crimson ability?
If he can't do anything about the prediction then why bother with it at all?
>Let's see if my evil plan will work.
>No.
>Well, now I know not to put too many resources into it.
>I can also come up with a new plan and use the current one to distract the heroes.
you mean this?
lmao
>HOLY SHIT, A GIANT LASER BEAM
>gets hit by giant laser beam
Also, some future sights might be imperfect and ironic
There’s a million ways to subvert future sight
Make the future changeable in the present, so at some point they look into the future and sees themselves getting rawdogged, goddamn.
>Character learns about the future and their own actions to try and prevent it led to it actually happening
Name one example where this detracted from the story.
>see the earth exploding tomorrow
>still manage to die
