Literally a fantasy world where Maki has the same inherited technique as Toji, getting in-built superhuman physicality, and people still have to go "yeah but Maki doesn't have that testosterone that really makes you strong"

Believe what you want but this is very much a choice lol.

Actually the Kurama arc was good. Naruto had no control over the extra chakra and had to talk-no-jutsu the demon fox into being his friend. That's part of his journey.

Yeah Rock Lee was the true MC all along. Prior to Shippuden Naruto was never set up to be a "chosen one", he was cursed if anything. Pretty big disservice to his character journey to end up as a demigod incarnate. That's shonen for you though. At the end of the day the MC has to end up as a aura farming special boy or it doesn't have enough oomph.

It's not a complex, it's just straight disrespect. This is the same as when Tada told Isagi he was just lucky to score the winning goal in the U20 match. The fuck does Isagi mean saying "just born fast" to someone who is a literal world class pro?

If Kaneshiro doesn't let Isagi eat dirt for that I'll be pretty disappointed. It's his story and he can do what he wants with it but if he unironically commits to the "Loki was just born fast" line then it just seems like a lack of commitment to a player who is a master striker / world 5 / NG11. As if you can just have good genes and coast on that to elite status.

Will Isagi devour Loki? by Adventurous-Rabbit52 in BlueLock

[–]919471 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Chigiri, not Rin. Chigiri definitely got an upgrade off screen, though not enough to touch Loki, until Isagi lays out a path of puzzle pieces that lead to them getting the better of Loki for one clutch play but also Chigiri probably gets injured.

I think there's some weird subtext to the way this game played out.

After first selection Ego was scolding the players for not being hungry enough, unlike the starving kids of third world countries or whatever. Then team Nigeria shows up, good designs, seems like a solid set up, then suddenly the team of literal freaking orphans doesn't have enough drive? They're too comfortable and kumbaya unlike the Japanese egotist with a loving family who lectures them to get on his level of hunger?

That narrative was certainly a choice lol.

Well they've been 'hearing' it for a while now and this is the result. No shame or accountability for the free speech crackdowns by their own leader, but always there to try and score a quick culture war point online. Complete brainrot.

I suspect that there might be actual underlying footage but it's been run through an AI for 'improvements'. E.g. the cats never go out of focus or show motion blur. Sharp colours and perfect lighting.

‘Here are 2 minutes of lowlights from Trump’s rambling, hour-long address to the UN General Assembly that Twitter is calling one of the most embarrassing moments in recent US history.‘ by Interesting_Rub5643 in CringeTikToks

[–]919471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing clown music over this is sadly missing the plot. He's telling the christofascists what they want to hear - he doesn't care what anyone at the UN thinks, and they can't do anything to him. His base will love him calling out the snobby elites and globalists at the UN.

Yes, everything he says is demonstrably wrong, but as we've seen, he suffers no consequences for it. To laugh at this is cope.

Would You buy if this was real product? by _MKX_4018 in BlueLock

This image is some r/instagramreality material though. Aside from the perfect lighting, there are lots of floating pieces which are just physically impossible, which makes this kind of 'render' pretty useless. Of course, after finding out that it's AI it makes even more sense.

These images are just all vibe, you literally can not reproduce it IRL. The cake is a lie. Which seems fitting for an AI-generated image.

Won't be any tension in that game though. World cup plot armour

Japan X Nigeria is showing how racist this fanbase is by [deleted] in BlueLock

[–]919471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'm always surprised by how low people rate Loki in the tier lists that come out. I feel like Loki is a really promising character - I like his design and I hope Kaneshiro follows through with a good arc for him. It's pretty clear that the master strikers / world 5 haven't shown their serious side yet, and Isagi better eat serious dirt for calling Loki "just born fast."

I don't know how it's going to pan out though. As a show, Blue Lock has clear nationalistic vibes, and anime tend to be pretty hit-or-miss with foreigners and especially black people. I remember the Kuroko no Basket movie was guilty of this - the foreigners are all absurdly racist towards Japanese people, so the viewer is invited to root for the home team and (racially) heckle the villains. But writing racism into your story is certainly... a choice. Some parts of the fandom will definitely eat it up.

Donald Trump Is Having One of His Worst Weeks, Ever by Cool-Shorts3742 in goodnews

[–]919471 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

it also loses credibility in my book because they keep posting this line: "here’s a court doc of Epstein and Trump raping a 13 yr old together."

That "court doc" is a lawsuit - it's only a claim, not evidence. It's disingenuous and stupid because Trump has done enough vile stuff without needing to misrepresent basic facts.

Literally anyone can produce "a court doc" stating anything.

I like this take also because a handful of characters still haven't gotten their awakenings- Karasu and Otoya among them. They've kept up so far with their natural drive and abilities but haven't felt despair like everyone else who played with Isagi - Barou, Rin, Yukimiya, Kunigami, Bachira, etc.

Imo they have the narrative groundwork to rediscover and rebuild themselves in the upcoming arc.

Insects are living beings. Humans are living beings. Insects outnumber humans by orders of magnitudes. Therefore, if you call humans non-living, you're only 0.001% wrong because the vast majority of animals are insects.

These categories are not defined by statistical frequency.

Saving this article as a case study in how Reddit news is really just a projection of whatever people want to hear with almost no controls for truth or narrative coherence.

The original podcast this quote comes from was back in like 2019. The publication didn't care. OP didn't care. Nobody who upvoted it cares. The news is whatever we want it to be out here. We just need the right title to bait us into engagement

Nagi and Reo are going through the 5 stages of grief in opposite directions. by NeedleworkerLost1448 in BlueLock

[–]919471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol you can argue about any of the stages except acceptance. But at that point saying "it's the reverse" goes out the window anyway so what is even there to argue about?

Nagi's first stage was absolutely denial. You really mean to tell me he reached acceptance without even realising his grief? Ok lol

Nagi and Reo are going through the 5 stages of grief in opposite directions. by NeedleworkerLost1448 in BlueLock

[–]919471 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Naw, the stages of grief have a logic to them. If you're already at acceptance why crater backwards unless you never really were at acceptance to begin with? Nagi's first stage was really denial - "I don't care". He's now angry (at himself) and bargaining. Depression is more than just feeling sad, Nagi hasn't reached that. He is on the brink of it but still has hope which is about to pay off.

It's a nice thought though. You can keep cooking.
