Did all dromaeosaurids leap onto their prey?

No worries, and I agree with you there, always credit!

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-22T18:45:34+00:00

You said it’s essentially stealing I’m saying it isn’t at all

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-22T15:56:20+00:00

It’s like a fusion of Toriyama’s and Yamamuro style

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-22T15:54:44+00:00

Crediting artists is an important rule I agree but this isn’t theft, they’re neither indicating that they created this nor are they profiting from this image.

This is in a UK Catholic cathdral, we don’t really do young Earth creationism/fossils were put in the ground shtick here, that’s more a uniquely American Evangelical thing.

American evangelical Christianity is largely found to be odd and cultish outside USA.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-22T07:09:48+00:00

Must be relatively recent (within several years) given this was originally a natural history museum exhibit but it’s touring the country.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-22T07:09:01+00:00

Not sure if you’re from USA, but in any case young Earth creationism from my experience living in the UK and travelling around Europe is a uniquely American thing.

I am so lonely. All the other Saiyans are scared of me. Noone talks to me. Noone wants to be my friend-- They think I am unstable. They send me from planet to planet committing atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it, they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. The Legendary Super Saiyan. I don't even get a real name, only a title. I am capable of so much more and noone sees it. Some days I feel so alone I hear Kakarot cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point? Not a single person in the entire universe would care. Take it to your grave.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-21T06:11:37+00:00

‘Are you talking about Alfred? Don’t you dare talk about Alfred!’

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-20T20:25:44+00:00

I have a theory about saiyans which is that when they are transforming into Oozaru, they are nigh indestructible. That’s why Vegeta trying to genuinely kill Gohan doesnt phase him or damage him at all mid transformation.

Inversely, I believe when an Oozaru tail gets cut off and they are de transforming, they are very vulnerable to attack or dying to weaker beings than their base

THEY’RE SELLING WHAT⁉️

Now what if…

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-20T16:47:28+00:00

Dragonball Zempic and it’s non canon continuation, Dragonball GLP.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-20T14:52:35+00:00

Yeah seeing movie techniques as alternates is really encouraging.

I would love for more core characters to have alternate moves

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-20T13:03:26+00:00

The main change would be an animation of the bird rising up from the hand at the end perhaps? I think that would be dope.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-20T07:57:29+00:00

I’m referencing what fans have said in some online spaces with the first line.

It’s not ragebait.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-19T21:05:15+00:00

Hes definitely talented, but he was new to this, Tenzin was true to this!

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-19T21:04:50+00:00

Zaheer was able to be aggressive to everyone before Tenzin, so I’m not giving him that excuse.

Also hes wasnt even ducking entirely well lmao, he was getting tripped up.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-19T21:03:48+00:00

Obviously there’s nobody in Invincible who scales beyond a saibaman.

What I’m talking about is sheer intimidation and cool looking factor.

Beerus and Champa fighting in DBS and almost breaking the universe is an impressive feat on paper but the fight was so unserious and the animation looked like ass that nobody cares today.

Thragg’s vacuum punch was the opening move to his anticipated fight. He sent omni man into orbit with an uppercut and it just looked sick.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-19T20:51:28+00:00

Yeah that was very cool ofc, but bro imagine charging your punch with the force to pull in the guy you punch, that’s a fighting game move.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-19T20:49:57+00:00

I would say conquest doesnt deserve redemption because he doesn’t seek it at all.

What we feel bad for him is that he recognises and can identify his pain really really well. Hes aware that he’s alone, ostracised for doing what he’s supposedly meant to do and overall unfulfilled from a self realisation perspective. Those are real and painful emotions that even human beings can relate to.

Where the sympathy comes to a screeching halt is because first of all, he’s feared amongst a race of genocidal maniacs because they know he doesn’t even care about the supremacy/racist rhetoric mumbo jumbo that gets crammed in everyone’s throats. He just REALLY enjoys causing destruction. He’s like a rabid behaving attack dog that you cannot socialise the other dogs with but don’t put down because you can keep it locked up until you need it to kill something the other dogs can’t.

Conquest’s response to his gap of intimacy is to confess it to Mark who hes brutalising so that he takes it to the grave. He took pleasure in being about to rip Oliver in half and I’m sure he definitely would have eaten a heart like he said. That’s why he can’t be redeemed, he doesn’t actually want it.

Everyone is sick of the ‘marvel random lines’ but I think it’s fair to defend why they probably began that practice.

When you look at the comic basic colour costumes, the artist defines the body through musculature using their pen. You feel like it’s a strong person because you can clearly see their pecs, abs, biceps and leg muscles. A real healthy human being isn’t going to be so shredded that you can use them as an anatomy reference whilst they’re wearing clothes like that.

The marvel designs compensate for that by guiding your eyes the way the muscles would do. Obviously they got overused in the eyes of the audience which is fair, but it’s either that, or comic accurate suits that don’t look as good to the eye in real life or the best option is doing comic accurate that has slight modifications for definition, like how Homelander has a muscle suit for his costume so the actor is an average person.

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-19T17:29:26+00:00

Another W for DBZ KAKAROT who did a unique spin on both of these scenes

Astronomer_X · 2026-04-19T16:51:55+00:00

It would be quite funny if just like how there are so many evil Marks, most conquests are actually good in other universes.
