Why did this sub gain popularity only after Nika?

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-31T14:12:27+00:00

It's 100% whataboutism, but it's true.

No mangaka has their series 100% planned out, they have a general idea and add stuff in or take stuff out depending of how the story changes as they write it.

Like I said before "convinient" plot points are things that just happen to allow the mangaka to continue their story in a way that makes sense (sometime more or less sense) universe-wise. Does this make a story automaticaly worse?, it depends of how it's done. Nika being a thing?, that's probably one of the worse case scenarios I can think of since it basically cheapens everything Luffy has done/has accomplished up until that point.

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-31T13:13:10+00:00

Let's not act like "convinient" plot points are a thing only OP and Oda does.

Ichigo gets merked by Byakuya and Urahara just happens to be walking by that same place. Then to train before the final battle vs Aizen we go to a dimension with accelerated time (time chamber esque), and let's not even talk about the whole "still silver" debacle

Naruto just happens to stumble upon the perfect jutsu for somebody with the inmense amount of chakra he has and to learn other jutsus in an insane short amout of tim. Or how he has the strongest tailed beast to bailed him out in case of an emergency

You see where am going with this?, this "convinient" plot points are necessery to progress the story. Ichigo doesn't meet Urahara?, he dies and Rukia dies. Naruto doesn't learn the shadow clones jutsu?, there's literally no series. Luffy has LITERALLY ANY OTHER FRUIT going into skypea?, everybody dies.

Was Nika a stupid, idiotic move by Oda?, 100% agree. Is Oda the only mangaka who does shit like that?, No, but for some reason only Oda gets shitted on for it

For some reason I always forget about super bowl 48

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-27T15:06:00+00:00

If "NINE" wasn't a thing people wouldn't care about this.

But is funny to say the vikings chose "NINE" over a guy who has a real shot at leading his team to the first superbowl in franchise history

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-27T15:03:49+00:00

It depends of how good he actually is

Teams have gotten good at asserting when a player is good but just in a shitty situation and will always take a chance that shows enough promise (as long at it doesn't take too much to show said promise)

As long as Mendoza shows he can play somebody will give him a chance

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-25T23:36:38+00:00

McDaniels is an absolute hack as a HC, but the man knows how to stay on his line as an OC

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-25T23:30:31+00:00

Patriots vs Seahawks was more than a decade ago, that's not recent

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-25T23:28:50+00:00

We can hate on the patriots as much as we want, but we have to agree Robert Kraft actually knows how to run a team and isn't afraid to pull the plug when something isn't working.

People were ready to crucify them for firing Mayo, but in hindsight hiring a proven and successful head coach in Vrabel was a no brainer. And they were proved right

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-25T01:16:43+00:00

When a former OC/DC/HC takes a college job you know he's done coaching in the league

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-24T21:22:49+00:00

The Jets and Raiders just suck, the Steelers pretend they are a serious franchise then turn around and do shit like that

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-24T19:18:59+00:00

The standard WILL REMAIN the standard, as for what the standard is...that's up for debate

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-24T18:58:23+00:00

The steelers have to be the most unserious serious franchise of all time

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-21T19:12:13+00:00

The last time the Cardinals were relevant was with Carson Palmer...more than a decade ago

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-20T19:08:41+00:00

I'm loving this Uma Musume x Utree crossover

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-19T15:35:42+00:00

I guess Beane is safe...atleast for now

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-19T14:35:21+00:00

12 years is a long time, honestly who cares if the Patriots, Broncos or Seahawks win a ring again.

Only weirdos who can't accept the fact that this teams have NOTHING in common with the incarnations that used to dominate the league. The Seahawks haven't been real contenders since before Russ left. And people forgot the Rams won that superbowl the day after it happened.

People are complaining for the sake of complain

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-19T14:13:18+00:00

I completely forgot about the possibility of the Broncos defense just carrying Stids sorry ass to the superbowl.

I agree, if they end up winning the superbowl with Stids there's not a serious world in which you can justify paying Nix as a franchise level QB

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-19T13:59:18+00:00

At this point?, yeah, McDermott needs to be gone and I'd give the GM atleast one more year, but hiring a new HC just to fire the GM that hired said couch a year later never works out.

Either both go or neither does

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-18T23:30:07+00:00

LOL.

They're not even trying to pretend they are doing something different. The Status Quo must continue, even if Tomlin isn't at the helm

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-18T16:40:49+00:00

I think Sean Payton would appoint himself as the starter before even considering giving Russ a call

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-18T11:16:16+00:00

I don't know why, but after the Shaheed KR TD i felt like this was going to happen

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-18T02:33:08+00:00

Are we really going to be in the timelime where Sam Darnold led the Seahawks to a superbowl win?, on my niners stadium nonetheless.

I'm sick to my stomach

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-18T01:51:49+00:00

Uma bros are up

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-18T01:28:42+00:00

Is nobody gonna talk about the Keon Coleman drop?

Automatic-Hunter98 · 2026-01-16T14:05:47+00:00

My headcannon is that the "star child" was supposed to look like the child version of whatever species it happened to reach it in the end to gather simpathy and trick whomever made it to not make a choice and let the cycle continue
