    Did you know he had plant powers when you said that :catplacent

    OBD Convo #15: Gather, Ye War Pigs

    So the first season was about grinding the typical Japanese LN Protagonist mindset out of him then? :pringles Damn I might actually watch it with that as context :skully

    OBD Convo #15: Gather, Ye War Pigs

    I suppose one way to put it is that they wrote Ironwood as the kind of guy they personally dislike, and the "good guys" as themselves, and then realized most people like Ironwood more and sperged :skully

    Iirc they wanted to make Ironwood a fascist but accidentally wrote him.....y'know, making sense :skully Because they're Tumblr writers and they don't understand what fascism actually is, and instead wrote "militaristic dude hyper-focused on protecting his own" which is something not only completely different but distinctly admirable if flawed in some circumstances

    OBD Convo #15: Gather, Ye War Pigs

    Because the first....three? Volumes had the benefit of being animated by Monty Oum, who is absolutely fantastic at creating high-speed fight choreography. This gave it a core that made the admittedly lackluster but largely inoffensive cast much more likable, because they were associated with all this cool shit. This as well as the interesting setting meant it took several seasons of utter shite to fully kill off the potential of the verse, which gave it unreasonable staying power. So basically it's riding off the glory of being the swan song of a great animator with cool ideas, and a promising beginning.

    Yeah, we're not going to agree on this. For what it's worth, I think they could have easily just had Tahthawhosit act in the same capacity as Mubong is now while Mubong took on the role of the leader of humans at odds with Mori's group. Make it an enemy mine situation of sorts again.

    OBD Convo #15: Gather, Ye War Pigs

    Again, almost all of that came out post-Ragnarock where he pivoted from "anti-hero of another story" to "giga-asshole primary villain" He was never a good guy but he had reasonable motivations and goals, and was willing to hold in his own prejudices and pride in order to accomplish them.

    That was part of his original motivation where he wanted to push forward the best parts of humanity. There was never anything wrong with that, but killing Mori's grandpa completely violates that. And he alienated the two strongest humans in Daewi and Mira. And Mori was raised as a human and explicitly only that powerful because of human martial arts. He completely abandons his motivation for being a dick head despite having continuously swallowed his pride to work with non-human powers prior to that. They foreshadowed his human supremacist thing, but he had been willing to join hands with non-human powers and swallow his pride for the sake of humanity as a whole.

    All of that was added afterwords to his story to explain why he was suddenly being a brain-dead dickhole :zaru There wasn't any indication of it ahead of time and it only made his character worse for it

    OBD Convo #15: Gather, Ye War Pigs

    Mubong was a completely unnecessary antagonist. He had no reason to act against Mori and his grandpa after Ragnarock, both of whom were perfectly content to just walk away and leave him in charge of everything. Daewi never would have bothered with the remnants of the church if Mubong hadn't forced his hand. Mira would have been back with Daewi inside of a day and gotten her memory back. He only did what he did so the story had something else to do besides the stupid bishop dude. They could have easily done a far more interesting arc of him and the protagonists trying to awaken Gen X in preparation for Tatgasomething if they really needed to have more conflict. In the version we got, the protagonists get him dead to rights something like half a dozen times and then just....let him go. Until he gets the God mode power he was absolutely no threat whatsoever and was largely just there to be an opposing force. Post-Tatgawhatmachacallit powerup he can suddenly dunk on the...

    Considering game objects are indestructible, this technically gives him infinite DC :maybe

    OBD Convo #15: Gather, Ye War Pigs

    Honestly, the fact that Toei and Toriyama managed to restrain themselves enough to actually let Gohan and Piccolo have the entire movie and get legit wins to themselves is already well beyond my expectations :skully Goku Time isn't all the time after all
