    Yeah Yusei's is probably my favorite of the bunch in terms of themes, but that's no surprise as 5Ds music was top tier in general. Those meant to be FFVIII gunblades or FFXIV ones? :awesome Obviously they're not FFXIII ones, I can tell that much. :maybe

    If we count the Yu-Gi-Oh protags they give him a run for his money in my opinion. :maybe At least these three do, again in my opinion. :awesome

    In my opinion, it's an apples and oranges situation that entirely comes down to personal preference. Godzilla Minus One, The OG Godzilla movie and the like are trying to do VERY different things with the character than are most Showa era movies or the Monsterverse movies and I honestly think it's important that both continue to do what they excel at as they're both good in their own ways. You obviously can't have Godzilla as the villain embodiment of nuclear destruction in every single film because it's just gonna get old after a while, no matter how good the writing it. Having those movies running in Japan, while the American Monsterverse movies highlight the cheesier elements of Godzilla and focus more on the monsters as characters in their own right while beating the shit out of each other, puts the franchise in as good a position as it can be because it gives the fans the choice. Now me I'm a lifelong Power Rangers fan so I personally am gonna stick with the Monsterverse...

    I honestly don't see the problem with Lee's armor costume, it feels like something he would wear in a big battle and it's still got the purple color scheme that he generally wears. Could it have stood to be more extravagant given it's Lee? Sure Is his alternate costume better? Absolutely Is the armor costume bad though? No, absolutely not IMO.

    I know, that's why I rated him the best there but of course TFS has people brainwashed into believing Goku's a bad parent when he really isn't. Frankly Vegeta (at least pre-Super anyway and this is coming from a Vegeta fan) is a FAR WORSE parent than Goku ever was. After all it sure as fuck wasn't Goku who got into an actual fight with his son, on account of said son trying to stop him from doing something bloody stupid. But nah just ignore Vegeta and give Goku all the shit. :smh

    Indeed, while Dartz himself is just an okay villain, him and his three henchmen are probably the best villain group in the series aside from maybe the Dark Signers. Barian Emperors are still cool though.

    Consequence of having so many minor side characters with archetypes tied to them, or in this case, him only being one of the Barian Emperors and not really being one of the major ones. Obviously I'm not really into the card game so it doesn't bother me all that much, there are just certain characters I would have liked to see more of and that applies across every Yu-Gi-Oh! series.

    That Full Metal Alchemist piece of shit. Never before and indeed never since have I gotten so pissed off at a fictional character as when Ed asked where his dog and daughter were and the penny dropped. :scust Of the rest (at least the ones I know) it would be Ozai then Endeavor, Naruto and then Goku.

    I forgot that was even a thing until she brought it up. :kobeha I don't believe it was EVER meant to be anything more than just Kishimoto using the Inner-Sakura gag as a way of getting her out of a scenario that shouldn't have been escapable. Not sure what he could have done with it if he had been planning something. Perhaps it could have been a bloodline ability, kind of like a stand where she summons Inner Sakura to fight alongside or for her? Then again Susanoo is basically that so I just don't know. I'm putting more thought into it than Kishi ever did.

    That was sick. :awesome Now imagine they announce they're doing a whole anime like this just following the actual monsters...all while Digimon's doing a web-comic based on their card-game? :maybe At least with something like this we could guarantee at least some well treated female characters, namely the sky strikers who I'm assuming were the ones in the last scene there. Only complaint I have with the video was they should have included more anime main cards like the E-Heroes, Stardust, Hope, Pendulum Dragon and Cybverse, shit like that rather than JUST the Dark Magicians and Blue Eyes.

    Why the fuck would an Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation need to appeal to the Game of Thrones fanbase? "It can't JUST be for kids." It never WAS just for kids. That's part of why it had such a massive fanbase and is STILL talked about favorably to this day. "We needed to make it mature." It already was, that's why it appealed to adults as well as kids. This is like the people who insist FFXVI is somehow "more mature" than other FF stories when literally the ONLY thing that separates it from them is showing blood and naked people, that's it. "It needs to be adult." Yet apparently you think the adults you're trying to appeal to can't handle a character being sexist and having an arc where he gets humbled due to that flaw and grows through it? :hm And I'm sorry to keep making this comparison but it needs to be done, but One Piece Live Action didn't feel the need to do ANY of this shit. At most they toned down the strictly Japanese/Anime based tropes like Sanji's...

    Has finished Part 1 Hoping Rock Lee gets more screen-time later Hoping the female characters get more interesting later Oh boy Merphy, you have NO IDEA what you're in for with this one and I'd be VERY surprised if you come out the other side liking it, or even finished it to be quite frank with you. :maybe

    Ah I see, we got trolled hard. And frankly it says a lot about the state of modern western media that we could fall for and believe it so easily. :kobeha

    By the way I'd just like to remind everyone that, for as "problematic" as they claim this to be, THE widely considered best characters and plot threads in My Hero Academia (ie the Todoroki's) revolve around a similar inciting event (ie a father abusing his kids). It's only "problematic" if the story treats it as if it is okay or acceptable and neither ATLA or (for all of Horikoshi's faults) MHA did that.

    Putting the EARTH-benders in a prison that is entirely made up of and surrounded by EARTH. Then you get to that scene and you realize...oh, that's why that works. :heston

    Oh for fuck's sake, you've gotta be fucking kidding me, it's the Ursula "body language" thing all over again. :smh OZAI. IS. THE. FUCKING. VILLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNN. A Villain doing BAD things in a story, is NOT problematic because NO ONE is acting like this is okay. You're not supposed to like him. This is the guy we want to see get murdered and this is meant to be one of the primary reasons WHY. You know what IS problematic though? Taking out a core element of what makes one of the main characters who they are and which is the focal point for their ENTIRE CHARACTER ARC. I haven't even watched Avatar (really something I need to do at some point) and I'm getting angry for its fans at this point 'cause this is gonna be an absolute dumpster fire, that may even make the MOVIE look good by comparison. :kobeha

    https://www.fanverse.org/threads/is-the-fate-franchise-dead.1311952/ The fucking straws these people are grasping at to try and pretend Fate is a dead or even struggling franchise is beyond me. Like how he has to single out a single month as if that proves anything, when the game is still going strong and we're getting a remaster of the original game later this year. :kobeha Then again it's the same idiot who brought up Disney Live Action remake numbers to prove they make more money than the animated movies while blatantly ignoring that inflation is a thing.

    It's not one that's in the show already, she appears in the third book as one of Artemis' huntresses and basically reveals that she was the brains and basically only reason Heracles managed to complete his labors. Riordan kind of went in hard to shit on the classic Greek Heroes in that book and you can bet your ass that's one storyline modern Disney ain't gonna have ANY ISSUE letting him put in the show.
