https://www.fanverse.org/threads/is-dragon-ball-one-of-the-only-anime-manga-with-good-films.1320180/ Yeah no, GTFO with that shit, the Pokemon movies that I've seen have all been good, FULL STOP! Them being "designed for 10 year olds" has fuck all to do with anything. :really

Stellar Blade is actually a good example of at least using a religious allegory positively. Given Adam and Eve together are able to at the very least create a circumstance where they can start to put their world back together (obviously it sets up a sequel so that story's not done yet), right down to Eve getting an angelic form in the good ending. It's one of the many things about the game that is refreshing to see because we're so used to seeing religious shit treated negatively nowadays.

And? What else are you doing with them? And I say that as someone whose favourite game of all time is Final Fantasy X which does indeed have a central religion as the primary antagonists for much of it. The thing is X actually does something interesting with this as we see figures involved with this religion on all ends of the spectrum, be they the monks of Djose Temple who took in even injured Al Bhed following the disastrous Operation Mihen, corrupts assholes like Kinoc who is just out to advance himself and people like Yunalesca and Mika who acknowledge how shitty the situation is but still see it as the right thing to do. It's still generally portrayed as a bad thing because the whole core of the religion is based on lies but they were still allowed to show followers of that religion actually being decent people or at least not being completely evil as well, right down to most of the main characters being or having been followers of that religion. There's nothing creative...

Yeah the point was that Pegasus was pissed off and was dropping the Toons which arguably represent the childish and pure persona he puts on (and likely was at one point), and playing monsters that better represented the inhuman beast that he'd become. It's one of the better instances of Yu-Gi-Oh! using a character's deck to tell the audience who that character is as a person. Another exceptional instance of this would be Edo and Judai discussing why they both play Heroes and then Edo cutting the bullshit and bringing out the D-Heroes.

Well yeah Pegasus wasn't going to go through all that set-up to summon a monster with 0 atk if it didn't have SOME kind of trick to it. If anything, it gets very old later on when we get characters constantly question why opponents are using lower atk monsters when by that point, EVERYONE knows that it either means it has an effect or the person using it has set a spell or trap card. I get it's for dramatic effect but you can only do it so many times before it starts to get annoying.

Pretty much yeah. I mean I'm not a Doctor Who fan and never have been but how the fuck are we supposed to like a hero who has (in both episodes) ran away at the first sign of danger? It would be one thing if I believe they were going to do something with that, like a character arc but we all know it's just them trying to subvert masculinity or some shit by having him not stand his ground.

Yes of course the trans villain has to be seen as so powerful and "scary" that the "Doctor" runs away immediately and doesn't even want to TRY to face him and doesn't even win at the end, the villain just being defeated by pure dumb luck. Fucking cringe! :smh I do have to laugh though at how the Trans Villain is revealed to have a traumatic past with an abusive father and the dumbasses writing this probably don't even realize what "stereotype" they just played right into by doing that. :heston

JBL winning the WWE title, hell basically his entire title run I thought was straight up garbage and dragged on far too long. John Cena taking the title off Rey Mysterio the literal fucking night that he won it, still haven't forgiven Cena for that bullshit. The entire Micheal Cole vs Jerry Lawler feud, Jesus H Christ that shit was terrible.

"There's no Greek or Roman Mythology without African Mythology." "Many Greek mythologies are about men conquering their sexuality and turning away from the charms of women." "Killmonger stealing the tribal mask and using it while committing crimes is fine because he feels empowered." "Greek Mythology obviously treated ugly or disabled characters with respect as opposed to much mockery." The fact there's people actually getting "educated" on these topics by these complete fucking jokes. :facepalm

I don't mind if they're salty because they like Ilja better than Jey (I do too for the record). I don't mind people saying that Ilja is a better in-ring wrestler than Jey (he absolutely is). My issue is them saying that he's ruined or his credibility is dead or he's been buried or any of that nonsense. :kobeha

Simon basically summed up why this is stupid nicely. It would be one thing if Ilja got squashed in two minutes by Jey but that is the furthest thing from what happened and other people are just ignoring the position Jey is being booked in right now by just calling him a "tag team guy" and having a kneejerk reaction. The mere fact that WWE made sure people who hadn't seen NXT knew that Ilja is one of the few people who has beaten Gunther in the past does a lot to protect him going forward. Basically as long as he gets back to winning following this, it isn't going to hinder him much if at all. Give it a month or two or three for the Sami vs Gable feud to end and I could see Ilja challenging him for the IC title, even if just to spite Gunther who he's already having stare downs with by beating Sami where he couldn't. Gunther then gets his jimmies rustled as a result and this could be the impetuous for the two to have a PLE match at Clash in Berlin/Survivor Series etc. Point being...

https://www.fanverse.org/threads/ss-uryu-vs-ss-byakuya.1320149/ "Hurr durr Mayuri's Bankai gets broken all the time so Uryu breaking it means nothing." "Uryu couldn't even blitz Mayuri blah blah blah." Even when I agree that Uryu loses more often than not, largely because SBK is the perfect Bankai to have to wall the arrow and slow it down/weaken it so Byakuya can avoid it, people exagerate how easy it's gonna be. :smh Uryu is losing but by no means is Byakuya doing it easily and Uryu winning is not impossible, just unlikely.

Well nobody liked Vector so I suppose it fits. :maybe

The French crowd were fucking awesome the whole show. Then continuing to sing Cody Rhode's theme for several lines even after the music stopped, or giving Jey effectively the firefly treatment with their mobile phone lights during his entrance was some top tier audience participation. I'm especially glad the latter seems to have caught on 'cause it adds a lot to Jey's entrance and frankly shows how over he is.

https://www.fanverse.org/threads/sephiroth-vs-naruto-verse.1320137/ There's no such thing as "Supernova scaling", it's his canonical limit break and always has been. :smh He still soloes by virtue of massive speed advantage and holding back HOLY and the Lifestream. :heston

Who the hell is Altria? Some Alternate Universe version of Artoria?

Seeing people bitch about Jey Uso beating Ilia Dragunov as if it "kills his credability" or ruins his momentum to go toe to toe with a guy who is not only in the midst of a main event push, but is also the most over guy who is consistently on Raw and only BARELY lose. :kobeha And while I'm not saying Jey is amazing in the ring or anything like that, anyone saying that he sucks or is "garbage" in the ring clearly has not watched enough wrestling 'cause I've seen way worse than Jey get pushed way harder when they weren't HALF as over as Jey is. Jey is "fine" in the ring. My only criticism would be to change the Uso Splash to a different top rope move to make him more distinct from his brother, other than that he's perfectly servicable.

You took the post down but Soul Reaper Aizen vs RG Byakuya Kuchiki is largely in the latter's favor as by that point, he is superior in basically every stat, has a massive AOE with Senbonsakura Kageyoshi which lets him both attack AND defend at the same time as a sort of psuedo-counter to Kyouka Suigetsu. Naturally being able to fuck with his senses is still a large advantage and Aizen could still win but I think Byakuya is probably his closest match (with KS in play anyway) in that he has the tools to (IMO) win more often than not, without it being a foregone conclusion like with Soul Reaper Aizen vs Adult Hitsugaya where the latter would just freeze and negate KS completely.

Smackdown needs to get their shit together with these King and Queen of the Ring Matches, they've had one good one so far in Randy Orton vs AJ Styles, meanwhile Raw (to quote Sheamus) keeps giving us BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER. I get Smackdown has less time to work with so we'll just have to see come this Smackdown how much better they do with more time to commit to the Quarter Finals matches. Randy vs Carmelo and Bianca vs Tiffany should at least be good. Also can someone tell Iyo-Chan that she's meant to be a heel and that she shouldn't be playing to the crowd as much as she does, or at least should do so in more of a heel like manner? Either that or turn her Babyface, she basically got to be one for the Shayna match and consistently gets cheered so I don't see why not. The only issue I see with it is that Raw is seriously lacking when it comes to female heels so yeah.

While any kind of middle finger to Sony is always nice, that's just step one for you Square. Now go back to turn based, thank you very much.
