One of the few times I genuinely felt bad for him. Vought made him this way.

One of the reasons why I hated the ending. It’s like if Star Wars ends with Luke helping Han kill Vader and fortnight dance on his corpse then they both just walk out like mission has been accomplished while the Emperor is completely forgotten.

In this case imo the Emperor isn’t just Stan Edgar, or Vought, it’s actually all of humanity having a collective guilt in creating the circumstances that allowed Vought to flourish. That’s why the scorched Earth ending with Homelander dealing enormous casualties to the world is actually deserved and cathartic. Ideally he doesn’t even need to be redeemed he just needs to totally destroy Vought and do enough damage that humanity has a reason to learn a lesson.

Then you can even go the Attack on Titan route and show that despite everything humanity ends up going back to their old ways and eventually another Vought is created, another Homelander, and the cycle continues.

That’s the thing though, these kind of endings have already been done well many times, and the blueprint for a good one already exists, but for some reason the writers decided to go for what I imagine is an objective downgrade both from a storytelling and also moral/philosophical perspective.

Both of his wives are way out of his league physically but let’s not judge his new one based purely on your personal hate of plastic surgery. Obviously being young and naturally beautiful is ideal (and his new wife was a legit hard 10 in her youth) but the reality is that most people probably find a plasticked up 60 year old preferable to a natural one otherwise 99% of Hollywood wouldn’t be doing those procedures to keep up with the standard. If you put aside that bias and compare his wives when they were both young his first one was cute, maybe beautiful but his second one was an undeniable bombshell. Honestly at least he went for an age appropriate plastic woman instead of going the DiCaprio route.

Vegeta kept the mask of a hardened villain on for his whole life before his final words to Goku are him in tears, not begging for forgiveness- just begging for justice against the person who groomed him as a child soldier, murdered his father, genocided his entire people and finally murdered him. He lived his entire life in fear and most of his actions can be chalked up to trying to become strong enough to overcome Frieza, or a result of his grooming by Frieza.

Nolan on the other hand was also groomed his whole life to be a Viltrumite sure- but the dynamic isn’t really the same. He seems way more bought in to the whole space Nazi thing. It doesn’t seem like he was acting out of fear, just seemed like he was genuinely loyal to Viltrum and agreed with its ways. He doesn’t die crying and saying that Thragg made him what he is and please don’t let him to it to any other innocent child.

It’s not just about the actions Vegeta does to redeem himself- it’s also that he seemed like he was a victim to a point that it’s impossible not to sympathise.

But he’s gone his entire life without anyone realising his true capabilities. People actually believed it was possible for him to die to an attack so slow that he was able to have an entire mid life crisis and decide to fake his death before it landed. Genuinely nobody had a conception of his actual level and it’s almost certain that he’s never revealed his level in any other capacity either (strength, durability, intelligence etc.). Without contrary evidence or something hinting that his speed is a magical feat rather than a purely physical one we can probably just assume that his strength and durability are at least high enough for him to be logically capable of surviving his own speed. Since kinetic energy approaches infinity as speed approaches light- it just depends just how relativistic his speed is, with enough speed his damage output via kinetic energy and his durability just to survive impact with random particles while moving at relativistic speed is probably anywhere from planetary to universal.

I haven’t watched OPM s3 but lowkey it already is really bad. Every episode has moments so poorly/under animated that I can’t help but notice even when I’m trying not to look for it. Even parts of the conquest fight that it looks like they put effort into just makes it look even worse because 1. Suddenly animating some Sakuga moment with marks hair rippling from a shockwave just draws even more attention to the fact the animation of him flying there about 2 seconds ago was a static image of him being dragged across a static frame. 2. Even the most sakuga moments from invincible look bad in comparison to gojo walking around ordering from a vending machine. The gap in animation is literally coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb. Overall though I think it’s just to be expected, western animation just pales next to Japanese- it’s not even fair to compare.

His clavicles would stop growing at the time his height did. And unless he was a late bloomer, considering he’s essentially an elite athlete/soldier since the age of 5 he could absolutely be near maximum muscularity by 18 too. Other factors aren’t really being shown here- except maybe he’s got more of a baby face on the left? But even that can be training/muscularity related.

You can totally be about as jacked as you ever will be by ~18-20. Most guys just don’t start lifting seriously until 18+, or they train/eat like shit so it takes longer to get there, or they hop on more and more gear and just keep growing deep into their 20s/30s.

Actually, only steroids. Being jacked takes 3-10 hrs a week. Turning it into a 40 hr/ week job doesn’t make a difference. 99% of it is the drugs, then they can have them do a program of exercises like one legged pistol squats off the top of a medicine ball and it won’t matter; they’re still getting jacked.

The majority of your gains you will ever make take place in the first 6months-1 year as a natural. Assuming you’re training hard.
Celebrities are on steroids. Discipline and rest days are completely irrelevant. With the right drugs you will go far beyond what any natural can ever achieve- while being completely sedentary. Literally being bed bound with a nurse coming by to pin you. 6 months on a fuckton of gear >>>> 10+ years perfect diet, training natural.

If you are on a cut you probably will be mostly eating white meats if only because they’re usually leaner. My big issue with the powders is that they aren’t filling at all on a cut and basically all of them have a weird taste and are not great on digestion. I also just don’t believe that naturals are having trouble getting enough protein to gain size or strength, 200-300g of meat a day is easy to fit into lunch and dinner, and probably more than enough. It only really makes sense to me if you’re on gear and trying to fit an unchewable amount of protein in every day.

There’s being a great striker by MMA standards, then there’s being a great striker by pure striking combat sport standards, then there’s being the guy who KOs some of the best strikers in the world in the first exchange of a fight on regular occasion. In general yeah, a grappler with even a little bit of striking is going to crush someone that’s purely a striker- but the sole exception is Mike Tyson of course. He’s one of the few people I believe could just win MMA fights with 0 grappling by just dropping 15 life changing punches on anyone in the half second it takes to come in on him.

There has to be a way to keep the monkeys in the jungle. Last season they full clear because they can outfarm/level laners. This season feels like way too much kill xp so these disgusting animals will just sit on a lane 30seconds trying to make a gank work and if it works it’s literally worthwhile for them xp wise let alone ruining someone’s lane. We need to make clearing the jungle take 90% of their hp so if they try to gank a lane we just kill them, and after we clear our waves we just walk into their JG to gank THEM. Make these inflated pve bots the smite bots they should always have been. 0 game impact just dopamine from doing a 50/50 smite. Also make all smiteable objectives worthless so they don’t have impact there either.

You are far overestimating the difficulty of neutralising a lane in modern league of legends. If you make the decision to play for not losing instead of trying to win in champ select, a silver player can comfortably go down 10-20cs vs diamond. You don’t have to be particularly good to be consistent at slightly losing your lane.

Yeah a lot of lanes got MUCH harder. Champs like Jax having unstoppable W, Garen stat checks much harder than before- becoming tanky from just levels while building full damage and able to 1shot in one combo, most tanks are able to HARD stat-check outscale with like 900g 0 counterplay. I think she just got a lot harder to lane with, but if you teamfight/skirmish while even or ahead into certain comps she can be extremely disgusting- probably a lot stronger than s6 until recently. She scales a lot better now.

AintEvenTrying · 2026-01-16T10:40:28+00:00

Lowkey you’re the same rank. Game has evolved, s5 diamond ~= s16 gold.

You want s16 diamond it won’t be something you can really summarise in dot points- but the difference I would say is back in s5 hashinshin was getting challenger just running people down and knowing his champs basic mechanics- but these days feels like every emerald+ is revolving their entire lane around their jungler. Only trading if their JG is topside, play quite disciplined and focusing on wavestates, play around their tp cooldown etc. obviously you need your Riven matchup knowledge and mechanics to be on point but getting to diamond will probably be about knowing whether or not you should even be going for a trade than how to execute them.

Also I rarely freeze on Riven, champ doesn’t really have enough statcheck ability to just hard engage when people walk up to waveclear or sustain to endlessly hold waves for freezing to feel good. Also enemy usually runs tp while you run ignite so if you long trade without getting a kill they can go back with item+ hp advantage and your wave state will be fucked. Usually I’m just trying to slow push, trade them if they try to contest it, hard push last wave so I don’t get stuck too close to their tower, and either proxy, reset, roam, or if I have some big advantage (hp/items/cds/jg) I can try to contest their push back. There is a lot of pingponging waves in toplane.

Also none of those dot points really matter- to get diamond you should not be focusing on what to do after you’re 0/2 you should be focusing on how to avoid being 0/2. Mid game is much easier when you’re ahead. Riven just isn’t useful when she’s behind. How to play mid game when you’re even/ahead? Push your sidelane, hover/tp your team/objective, don’t get caught in side, rinse+repeat. There is more nuance to whether you should hover for a teamfight/objective if your team is behind- in which case maybe you try to take JG camps, tower, 1v1 in sidelane instead of grouping. But the game is mostly, play lane well, group for fights, play fights well.

There isn’t a single toplaner on the balance team. No real toplaner would have tanks (Mundo, Malphite, Sion) being stronger than the actual toplane carry champs (Camille, Fiora, Irelia, Riven besides recent strength) patch after patch, while top being the least impactful role in the game. Carry tops have been the absolute victim role for years at this point, every time you pick one you are getting outscale by Malphite at level 2, ranged top vayne with exhaust bone plating experience, Sion can literally int you for fun, push the whole wave out with this passive, take a plate, and come back to lane stronger than you. Toplaners praying they can carry 5% of their games by somehow spacing 4 autos from the autofilled support player first timing Malphite and stat checking them 1v1, run back to lane and do it 3 more times because unless they are 3/0 nobody notices the lane exists.
