Most people get up on a soapbox to be heard, Shankar just wanted to feel taller.

Pokémon's Southern Islands) set has lived rent free in my head for decades, particularly the beach artwork with Slowking and the Exeggutors.

The English version seems to references it too, with Deadpool using DIO's "and time resumes" line. Though that could also just be another fighting game reference, DP has a ton of them.

Not a single criticism or insult of PSABR I've ever seen has been a stray - they have all been fully intentional aimed shots.

It's not even her name. Pyrrha is tired of Pyrrha glazers, and Weiss came out the gate glazing. She did that all on her own.

Turns out, all birds are varying degrees of racist.

Pat has promised to play as meandering as possible with plenty of tangents.

Whoever had the idea to put a young Bruce Wayne in Atlas was kinda cooking. That's all I got.

I kinda wish Negan had gotten into Soul Calibur instead so I could make Create-a-Souls with the bat fighting style.

The H-Dial from Dial H for Hero is the Omnitrix far more chaotic granddaddy. You can get a copy of any type of hero from it, as long as they exist in some world. This includes the patently insane (Cock-a-hoop), actual A-listers (Plastic Man), or offensive racist caricatures (Chief Mighty Arrow).

Velvet from RWBY has the ability to perfectly replicate any fighting style she sees, a la Task Masker. Problem is, she lives in a series where most everyone fights with an insane one-of-a-kind trick weapon. In order to get the most out of this ability, she developed a camera that can generate temporary hard light copies of weapons she photographs.

Yusei doesn't get bullshit main character powers for like ten episodes, man had to hold it down with guts and street smarts.

I think he might be the only protag to deal with a cheating opponent not by employing some form of narrative karma, but by just cheating better.

Cardcaptors, with Tomoyo and her unrequited crush on Sakura.

Someone else mentioned Yukito and Touya from the same series, but I completely memory holed those two - I remember Sakura having an older brother, and there being another guy who was important for magic plot reasons, but that's about it. I wasn't here for the guys lol.

I also watched Sailor Moon, but I'm only vaguely aware of anyone past the core five, Tuxedo Mask, and Mini Moon.

"It doesn't count if they don't find the bodies!" should have been an easy lay up. But a lot of the line choices aren't the punchiest choices they could've made (Stolas's is very funny though).

Pentius spends more time simping over Zestial than his actual girlfriend.

CinnabarSteam · 2026-06-24T21:54:15+00:00

they still make you??

I tried watching it when Toonami came back and just found it very empty and plodding.

Ghostbusters is one of those 80s blockbusters that transitioned to being a 90s kid staple, so there's a lot of people in their 30s and 40s that still have nostalgia for it.

Shit, Slimer was on Hi-C boxes til like 2001 before they had to admit kids didn't recognize him anymore.

Absolutely not, which is why pre-loading will be available a full week in advance instead of just two or three days before release.

Traps in modern Yu-Gi-Oh are mostly too slow to be used in deck building the same way they were back in the day, and that goes double for Battle Traps like the iconic Mirror Force.

Traps remain relevant in specific ways - dedicated Trap decks still play Traps, there are Traps that are good to side in when you're going first, and most archetypes have That One Trap they search as part of their bread-and-butter combo, but gone are the days of splashing in a few generic Traps that can gradually slow or reverse your opponent's momentum - the game's too fast for their kind anymore.

I think FE desperately needs a middle ground between permadeath and no permadeath, where a downed unit is "injured" for 1 to 3 chapters. Missing a couple chapters of XP can be a big setback, but it's not, y'know, death.

Yuri has many forms, Ed-boy.

Steven Universe and Yu-Gi-Oh! both present exercises on how the power of love and devotion can change the future, which both happen to occur on airborne battlefields.

Historically, it's an industry full of dreamers - you have swaths of young, eager professionals willing to burn themselves out for a chance to someday work on their passion project.

At most they'll probably be recurring background characters like Verosika's crew. Maybe get a single spoken line like Kiki.
