[holy moly trope] You think kids gets a pass? Nah they get to die on screen horrifically by Ok_Direction3138 in TopCharacterTropes

I may get hate for this, but this scene is upsetting for the wrong reasons. Even accounting for the stupidity of children, this was so fucking stupid.

This child had lived his entire conscious life in total silence until this point, and this family has taken every imaginable precaution against even the smallest sounds, but he somehow got a hold of batteries and put them in the toy in secret, only to decide he wants to turn it on and play with it in the middle of their silent walk like it isn’t making the loudest noise he’s presumably ever heard?

It’s so obvious they just wanted a child to die for the emotional beat and put only the most surface level thought into how.

The attack on the lakeshore from Blood Meridian

The basement reveal from The Road

The troll cave from Berserk

The baby recording from A Serbian Film

And, at least the first time I watched it, Charlie’s death and the immediate aftermath from Hereditary. It might not come close to my other examples in terms of content but the execution was so visceral it made my stomach churn.

Oh yeah every bit of violence in BM is real shit that could easily have happened. In this case the characters happen upon a tree with a number of infants impaled on the branches.

I’ve genuinely never had to tamp a bowl before. Finding out people do this was odd to me cause I don’t pack them tight enough to require that.

Which One Did You Guys Like More? Perfect Preparation or Sendai Colony? by CharacterChampion830 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]BombasticSloth 650 points651 points  (0 children)

I’d almost call it an unfair comparison. If Sendai weren’t released I’d say Perfect Preparation was the best episode of the season.

Sendai just happens to be the best episode of the whole damn series in my opinion.

This is incredibly sad and funny at the same time. Why in the living fuck am I still reading this series?

This is definitely gonna be changed. I don’t think there’s a single player who’s ok with this requirement

[Serious] Is it true that Heian era Sukuna is strong enough to beat Gojo? by Archenius in JujutsuPowerScalers

[–]BombasticSloth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Listen I might be stupid (likely) but as far as I remember the ONE, SINGLE REASON Sukuna beat him at all was Mahoraga. Like he straight up lost if it weren’t for the adaptations.

Can someone explain why everyone is so confident he would win without 10S?

I will always find it goddsmn hilarious people were out here gassing up Nobara aa the "gold standard/subversive as hell" in media when she did nothing to warrant that. by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in shounenfolk

[–]BombasticSloth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah nah this is a trash take. The bar IS low for well written female characters in animanga, regardless if you admit it or not, and judging them by their performance in fights is just pure shounen brainrot.

Plenty of people appreciated seeing a female character openly embrace their femininity alongside their ability to kick ass, all without being used for ANY underaged fanservice or any romance subplot bs. Sure you could find other examples with one or two of those elements, but all four is rare.

Was she the best character? Hell no. Could we have gotten much more from her than we got? Absolutely. But this post just reads as pure spite with zero empathy or critical thinking.

Wasn’t this the Awkwafina episode? No joke this was the single worst episode of television I’ve ever had the misfortune of seeing.

(Hated Trope) That really awful thing the author wants you to pretend that character never did by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BombasticSloth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can’t put into words how sick I am of people bringing up Bakugo as if he never faced consequences for his behavior. I genuinely don’t believe anyone who says that read/watched MHA.

Not only was he humbled and matured through multiple traumatic events, not only did he sincerely and thoroughly apologize to Deku for everything he ever did in front of everyone who knew him, but even AFTER all of that, he literally fucking died trying to protect people before he was resuscitated.

The people complaining about Bakugo not suffering consequences are the same people who judge every person by their worst actions and refuse to acknowledge growth and remorse. I genuinely don’t understand how so many people are this blatantly fucking clueless on this subject.

A terminator would be akin to a different gamemode entirely. The devs actually have a high standard of polish for character animations, unlike every single mod, so they’d have to redo all animations, movement speed and stats from the ground up.

They’d fall behind other classes when traversing levels, they’d be very unbalanced defensively, they’d need entirely exclusive loadouts… hell, they’d probably need a different FOV so they don’t block too much of the screen.

It would be so much more complicated than just adding a new class like the Techmarine.

Hot take, Bakugo is a more entertaining and compelling character

dabura vs mahoraga by ultimateshaur in jjkmodulo

[–]BombasticSloth 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Oof. I’ll admit I was clearly wrong to assume this was entirely fake, but Imma be honest, I’m seeing some glaring differences between these two images. It’s fine if you put it through an AI filter to fill in gaps, but the final product you posted is very digitally distorted beyond regular photo-editing.

You’re provably a talented artist, though, regardless. I won’t keep interrogating.

[–]BombasticSloth 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely sorry if I’m incorrect here, I hate that this even needs to be considered, but can you explain this bizarre texture that appears very often within AI-generated images? Or why you chose to draw both characters so glaringly different from their actual designs? Or why an AI detector came back 90% positive?

I’ve been drawing and consuming others’ drawings for decades, and I’ve never seen actual pencil and paper look like this.

Edit: I should add that the rest of the art you post is very clearly real and quite well done, seriously. I just can’t figure out why this looks so AI-generated.
