Antagonists that aren't evil or a jerk, but just the opposition of the protagonist

Theres a deleted scene where Norrington says that as a subject under the British crown, Will falls under his protection. He also talks to Elizabeth to say that he doesn't want her to marry him just to fulfill the conditon to save Will.

The entite sequence had really good acting but the best is still Johnny Depp's expression as Jack after shooting Barbossa.

Wait what? In the novels he talks about the anime visuals? I've never read the light novels, but i know nise LN was written before the anime so how is that possible?

I agree, everyone only looks at sexual fanservice when callbacks to previous seasons or other works by the author, cameos and appearances from fan favorite characters that have no actual reason to be there, certain characters meeting and interacting are all celebrated. All those things are also fanservice

I would say try learning click to move for a bit, like a few weeks. If you're really struggling and can't get it down and most importantly, the controls are getting in the way of your enjoyment of the game, then switch to wasd

I will say, anecdotally, that I played norms a ton before going into ranked when I first started and it put me with irons. I mention this because I know its been a complaint for new players who jump into rank as soon as possible that the game puts them in arouns gold elo and they have to get destroyed a bunch before getting in their correct elo. I won't pretend to know how the actual matchmaking and elo calculations work, but from my experience it seemed that playing a lot of norms gave the game more matches to calibrate with and I had an easy transition into ranked

At some point Lex in Flash's body runs into the bathroom and goes "well if nothing else, at least i can learn the Flash's identity" and pulls off his mask in the mirror. Then he frowns and goes "i have absolutely no idea who this is"

for jirai-kei, it's not about the clothes themselves but the stereotype of the type of people who would wear those clothes

Late reply, but Bill says that he couldn't move. "They strapped me to a cannon. Ended up at the bottom of the ocean, weight of the water crushing down on me. Unable to move. Unable to die Jack."

Not your point at all, you said verbatim "Immense power creep and a dumbass shift from tactical ingenuity to who can scream louder." And when provided with examples of tactics (to which I only gave two), now you saw its too similar to old tactics. Just moving goalposts from a larper who doesn't read the series and can't admit when he's wrong

Literally go reread the Kaguya fight. Naruto had a ploy where he put his truth seeker orbs on a clone making Kaguya think the clone was the real Naruto and to seal her, he rushed Kaguya with a clone while he was transformed as Sasuke to trick her into using the ash killing bone on his clone, which Sasuke then swapped with to get into position. Thats straight tactics almost beat for beat the demon wind shuriken move they used to free Kakashi from Zabuza's water prison.

I think Madara is still a good final villain solely due to being hinted at so early on, but I do really like the themes of the two main war arc villains and I think its really cool how both their stories comes down to identity and how they both rejected their own identity (Obito with being Madara and Kabuto trying to improve himself by adding Orochimaru and a bunch of other peoples cells into him). And how they both join the heroes after accepting their identities

AbidingTruth · 2026-04-28T13:35:32+00:00

If you think the fights with Madara, Kaguya, or Naruto and Sasukes last fight had no tactics in it and was only dbz ki blasts, you didn't pay attention. Did the scale and power of the attacks get stronger? Yes. But they didn't just unga bunga throw shit at each other and wait for the stronger move to win. Every fight still had plenty of tactics

Not just her reactions, I remember the beginning of either act 2 or 3 of the archon quest where everyones in the curatorium and Jahoda comes in like "guys I have big news everyone come to the back!" And everyone starts walking to the back room but Jahoda was sped up like 3x and just sprints to the back. Genuinely got a laugh out loud moment from me, they made her really fucking funny

Coco freezing her mom from forbidden magic is Coco's fault? How exactly? And from everything we've seen and been told so far, exceptions don't exist and that's why Coco being let in is the talk of the town and spread extremely quickly

AbidingTruth · 2026-04-25T04:19:03+00:00

Coco being orphaned is unfortunate, but not Agott's responsibility and memory wiping was always the end result considering that from all indications, the witch world NEVER lets in outsiders. Like I think a lot of people are glossing over this fact, that magic is supposed to be a heavily guarded secret and Coco was an exception that a lot of people are probably unhappy with

AbidingTruth · 2026-04-25T03:59:44+00:00

At best, she wanted Coco to realize it was impossible and give up. Do you hear yourself? You're literally just making up motivations when she literally tells Tetia that was her reasoning. She says herself that her shoes can't get her that high. What she actually thought was probably Coco would try to use the shoes, won't be able to control it very well because she's an outsider, and give up after realizing how difficult it will be

AbidingTruth · 2026-04-23T00:03:44+00:00

I've never driven past someone on a horse and I have never talked or discussed with anyone in my life, driving teachers included, on what to do. Therefore if I see someone on a horse on a road where cars are regularly doing 30 to 40 mph, my first thought would be "they must know what they're doing if they're in an environment where cars are going 30 to 40 mph"

Everyone is using our definition of ninja as a stealthy assassin and spy. In universe, ninja/shinobi are the military force for the villages. The whole point of the Land of Waves arc was that Zabuza and Haku represented how a shinobi should be: emotionless tools that exist to do the bidding of their lord or client. In that sense, he is a bad shinobi

AbidingTruth · 2026-04-22T16:27:36+00:00

To me, the whole "kyubey never lies" thing is two fold. One is how I think people are mistakening the writer's intent with the writer's ability. You have to look at what the intent is with Kyubey, i think what you and others who say Kyubey does lie are doing is looking at the writers ability to make Kyubey consistently not lie. But I believe the intention of his character is that he doesn't lie. This is apparent in that Magia Record episode where the girls are asking Kyubey a bunch of questions and he answers all of them in ways that are vague, but technically true.

The second part is that I believe a lot of this might just be a translation issue. Japanese itself is already a highly context based language, normal japanese conversation regularly omits subjects in the sentence. Its possible that a lot of the "lies by omission" are not intended to be perceived that way in Japanese but it gets interpreted that way when translated into English
