    I don't doubt it, I mean he already has so much energy he can give Pokemon completely unique forms they never got in the games. 🤣

    It would need to be a universe where people have digi-soul (what allowed Masaru and the others to do superhuman shit) but yeah he probably would. :mjpls

    Like I get that the Norse games are the ones praised specifically for their story, but I'm not even sure why you would want to skip the Greek ones. All the violence, sex and dark themes? - Obviously not given how much of a hit Game of Thrones was and how they've basically tried to turn every gritty fantasy series released afterwards into GOT ever since. Not to mention that, while definitely not AS DARK as the Greek games, the Norse games' story isn't exactly sunshine and rainbows. How unlikable Kratos is in those games? - Well first off, we need to see him being a monster first for his eventual redemption to have the impact you want it to. Second, if you're going chronologically then you have FOUR straight games worth of material (Ascension, Chains of Olympus, GOW1 and Ghost of Sparta), all of which feature a Kratos who (while deeply flawed) is sympathetic enough that you can still root for him. It's only really GOW 2 and 3 that he stops giving any kind of a shit and goes full...

    "Guys I have a great idea! Let's make a TV series telling the story of a character's redemption WITHOUT including what he is redeeming himself for, the origin of his nickname and pale skin, the origin of his most famous weapons, most of his biggest and most spectacular battles, ANY of the Greek Gods and all the fucked up things they did which contributed to how the main character ended up the way he did." 🤦‍♂️ Even as someone who generally really likes the story of the Norse God of War games (though I believe they went a little too fast and Kratos feels too much like a side character in Ragnarok), it should be painfully fucking obvious that the story DOESN'T work without the foundation that the Greek games set. You CAN'T tell the Norse Saga (ie the redemption story) without first telling the Greek Saga you fucking morons. :scust

    I THINK Digimon World Data Squad (english name for Digimon Savers, Masaru's season) did a little of that though I've never played it so I can't be sure. I'm fine with the classic partner set-up so it's not really something I need to see. Although perhaps a more beat 'em up/action style game with the Frontier characters (who turn into Digimon themselves) could be pretty good?

    Well Ash himself has some moments, but as far as I remember we generally don't get much human on Pokemon violence. Aside from the one off gag moment when Jessie beat the shit out of the Seviper she ended up catching in Hoenn. :kobeha

    Depends how you do it really. Something like Ogremon in Digimon Adventure felt very forced and rushed because the guy had been pretty indisputably evil up to that point, then suddenly he's a good guy just because Mimi and Jyou bandaged him up. And I like Ogremon (wish he was used more often) but I ain't gonna pretend that shit wasn't hamfisted. Whereas Tamers actually took its time with Impmon/Beelzebumon's entire character arc, to the point where everything from his fall into madness to his eventual redemption actually felt earned and made sense. Largely contributing to him being my favorite fictional character ever. Or even looking at Dragon Ball examples, Vegeta and Piccolo are my two favorite characters because it worked with them, whereas #17 even being alive was some bullshit and Majin Buu was a bit cheap. :maybe

    https://www.fanverse.org/threads/kubo-on-dragon-ball.1276293/ Can't get over the stupidity of this statement. How the fuck are all Dragon Ball villains copy/pastes of each other? How the fuck is Piccolo Daimao anything like Frieza? How is he anything like Cell or Buu? How are Cell or Buu anything like each other? How is Cell anything like Frieza? Aside from the fact that they are all irredeemable bastard type villains (although even then Majin Buu is different as he's more a force of nature, at least in his original form anyway) and therefore pure evil, they are completely different in terms of personality and methodology. This kind of stupid over-generalization of pure evil villains is why we get people asking for... This bullshit, which more often than not results in villains who are whiny little bitches (what a lot of people saw Zamasu as when Dragon Ball actually tried it) or otherwise just plain boring. Yes it CAN work well, but so can villains who are just pure evil, it...

    In fairness Bleach only has ONE bad movie (Diamond Dust Rebellion) while most anime tie-in movies are pure trash with some obvious exceptions here and there. :maybe Also FOUR? Bleach you have FIVE movies, let's not forget the Live Action (which I still want a sequel to btw). :mjpls

    Maybe it's just me but I think that looks really cool, white outfits always tend to look good and it's a nice upgrade from the red military outfit he had in 6. :awesome Maximilian: "Lars is always gonna look like a Power Ranger." Me: "And it's always gonna look cool to me." :maybe

    I do agree that we were robbed, as I would have liked to see these spirits used in the series as something other than pieces of the Hyper Spirit Evolutions. Sure we get the bit where they help save the Baby Digimon against the Royal Knights and are part of the final attack against Lucemon, but I would have liked to see them used by the kids themselves at some point. I do like the art and the designs he's given them for these "uncorrupted forms" and I liked that he even gave them Fusion Evolutions. HOWEVER the one complaint I do have is that I would have liked to see Mermaid attributes incorporated into the Beast or Fusion forms for the water spirit to keep it more in line with AncientMermaimon Mostly 'cause I really like this design, it's one of my favorite Ancient Legendary Warrior designs actually. They could have done something like this but more heavily armored (because Fusion Evolutions surpass the Ancient forms), but still pretty good video overall.

    Why Serena over any of the others? It could just as easily be May or Dawn's daughter. :mjpls It isn't gonna be because this is Pokemon and they sure as fuck aren't in a hurry to canonize any ships, they know the shitstorm that awaits them if they try that shit. Shipping in and of itself is okay, but when they try to force their ships down people's throats and throw a fit when it doesn't happen, that's when it truly becomes cancer.

    Makes sense, there really isn't much more they can do with Ash as a character at this point. Though I am surprised they're going to go with wholesale new characters for Paldea, instead of at least bringing Ash in as a mentor to one or both of the new characters. I still expect he'll appear at some point with the occasional cameo, possibly even an exhibition battle vs the Paldea Champion? :maybe It'll be interesting to see how different the show is without Ash, weather or not it can even work at this point given just how long he has been the main character?

    This man REALLY thought Ragnarok was gonna win and got high on copium when it lost. :kobeha "Even if Elden Ring takes it, Ragnarok won more awards. NO COPE!" :maybe Elden Ring = 4 INCLUDING GOTY God of War Ragnarok = 6 2 more awards and they were things like performance, narrative, music etc? Ragnarok totally did so much better am I right?:mjpls
