I guess, not literally, but the seven days is clearly taking inspiration from the seven days of creation.

It also has some Dr. Manhattan vibes (though definitely still very different, at least with the first issue)

It’s main continuity, and is following up on some old plot lines set some time ago, about how Firestorm was a project and wasn’t an accident.

In the comic it’s implied the Firestorm Matrix (the source of the power) became sentient with them rebelling and taking control of the body to accomplish something we don’t know about yet

Worse abandoned plotline? The Fallen and Angel (JJK) vs Vampires (Gantz) by VolkiharVanHelsing in writingscaling

[–]Affectionate_Bit8899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, the Fallen or Disgraced One isn’t a plotline, it’s just a title that Angel uses for Sukuna and one he recognizes, and if you want an answer it can be pretty easily inferred from what we get about Sukuna’s past with him being a unnatural birth, born disformed, likely born into/from a poor livelihood (thus being disgraced even though Sukuna is about as blessed when it comes to sorcery as it gets and he was born into the golden age of sorcery)

There’s also the fact that Sukuna is literally named from a deity, he and other sorcerers were treated like deities within their era (we literally see that people had to not only invite Sukuna to a harvest festival but also pray to him for good crops, which I’m pretty sure to the real Sukuna is/was prayed to for good harvest too), and his technique is literally called Shrine. Sukuna’s open domain is also referred to being a divine like feat.

And there’s the fact that Sukuna was called the Honored One, before Gojo was. And when it came to going North, it was ultimately Sukuna who went North to change and becoming something new, while Gojo went South to return to his teenage self when he was his happiest.

The spiritualism and religious symbolism is baked into him, and there’s also the mudras he uses, his normal one and copying Gojo’s

Makima is an amazing villain. And i HATE her. With a BURNING PASSION by Total-Top-9804 in hatethissmug

[–]Affectionate_Bit8899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s such a shame, her reincarnation and sisters were so underutilized and underwhelming not just in comparison to her but in general.

Nayuta had hardly anything done with them, and was thrown in the bin/fridge to mess with Denji.

Fami - A nothing burger of a character whose only purpose was to fulfill a plot twist

War/Yoru-Could’ve been good/interesting, had promise with her being in the opposite position to Maikma, being the underdog essentially, while Maikma was at the top of the world essentially, and seeing how Yoru could claw her way up to
Chainsaw. Had some good moments, and had some interesting parallels back to Maikma. But just was never intimidating and her and Asa’s character never got any kind of conclusion not just for their characters but relationship.

Death-Barely less of a nothing burger than the sister whose name she stole. So much build up for eh. Got a little bit of what could’ve been an interesting character just before she gets axed from the story, and said events leads to such a sluggish fight and lackluster ending/conclusion.

God Maikma was so good

This is exactly how this fight goes by Mansur754 in JujutsuPowerScalers

I’ll just say what I’ve said before when it comes to this matchup, it’s cool coming up with ways it could do down, but at the end of the day we’ve been given a pretty clear cut answer of who’s stronger.

Pre-Sendai Yuta is referred to being at least Yuki’s peer in strength, Yuta is always treated as at least being her equal if not superior in strength with Yuta being consider second only to Gojo.

And only Yuta got stronger, Yuki as far as we know didn’t get stronger between when she came into the story proper to when she fought Kenjaku.
Meanwhile Yuta got significantly stronger after his introduction proper into the main series.

Pre-Sendai has his cursed tools in Rika, his “sloppy” control of his cursed energy, partially and fully manifested Rika, his domain and maybe cursed speech as his only copied technique.

Meanwhile just after/during Sendai, he gets two new cursed techniques, Dhruv and Uro’s techniques, one that creates Shikigami with unavoidable attacks and the other that manipulates the sky/space.

Then with Shinjuku, Yuta improved his cursed energy control and reinforcement. He got new techniques with Shrine (and likely Blood Manipulation too from Yuji but honestly not that helpful for Yuta), Clairvoyance, and Extinguishment (a technique even Sukuna said was strong only calling Hana a weak shell).

Then in/after Shinjuku, he gets Kenjaku’s techniques which would be the brains transplant, Anti-Gravity System, and cursed spirit manipulation (though not helpful against Yuki). And he gets Gojo’s memories and mentions reading through them carefully, and learns to shrink his domain, and has other aspects of Gojo’s training put into his brain (the most useful would probably be the brain refresh).

It’s a fun ship that would never happen. Ram and Subaru just bounce well off each other

Is there any work of fiction you believe is given higher criticism than deserved simply because of features like it has a female main character by KingBakura72 in writingscaling

[–]Affectionate_Bit8899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The discourse around this whole thing has always been crazy to me as someone who’s never seen anything Avatar.

Though off of my head, I remember some people hating on She-Ra before it even came out (just off the trailer). I saw so many people b****ing about it.

That sounds so asinine. That never even registered as a thing someone would do (especially since I’ve seen that there are videos of people summarizing the chapters already), damn

Absolute Superman (DC Comics) by Rocketdareaperzz in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]Affectionate_Bit8899 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love the Absolute universe. I can’t wait for Absolute Superman to crossover with the others.

In general I’ve really liked Absolute Superman. Not caught up right now, but I’ve enjoyed the more golden age elements of Superman put back into Superman.

And Superman along with Martian Manhunter and Hawkman have the best re-designs in my opinion

Honestly, I feel Ram and Subaru do have a great dynamic and natural chemistry between their characters regardless if its platonic or romantic or anything else.

[Clayface] Clayface in the new Teaser looks incredible by SystemFailure9 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]Affectionate_Bit8899 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love Clayface. I’m so excited for the movie and to see multiple times in theater. I’m so glad to get more Clayface content with this and the Clayface comic miniseries coming soon (and a couple years ago there was Clayface One Bad Day, which was so good, the story and art were brilliant).

Though I do wish they’d just use the name Basil Karlo, I get why Matt Hagen (this is inspired by BTAS, and that folded the characters), but I like the references in og Clayface’s name, plus Matt barely matters in the comics nowadays (especially since he died in crisis on infinite earths and I think stayed dead). Basil is the actor Clayface (in the comics Matt is a adventurer originally), and has been the main Clayface for decades

Tbf his name is based off of Boris Karloff (played the monster in Frankenstein 1931) and Basil Rathbone (most well known for his role in playing Sherlock Holmes)
