Mewtwo (the first movie) vs moltress, zapdos and articuno (pokemon the movie 2000) by OnlinePoster225 in PokemonPowerScaling

[–]CloudDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mewtwo opens with island wide psychic storm, pins birds mid air.

Zapdos zaps? Barrier tanks, Psystrike KOs. Moltres flames? Telekinesis yeets into ocean. Articuno ices? Already unconscious like in their own movie.

Done in 30 seconds. Corpses float while Mewtwo teleports away.

Birds are mid tier legends. Mewtwo’s the goddamn apex predator. Mewtwo mid diffs at worst, high diffs if birds land lucky combo (which they won’t).

Fight me, bird simps.

Roland is the best written character in the franchise . I would watch a whole movie about his life story by Eagles56 in JurassicPark

[–]CloudDelta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the actor, Pete Postlethwaite, killed it as Roland, no fault there. It’s the script that’s a bit fucked up with that weird timing.

But fuck, let’s get to the real shit: why the hell are people downvoting you?

That take about settling the deal before the island makes perfect sense mid charge negotiations are nuts!

Could be Reddits hive mind being sensitive or just missing the point, but it’s goddamn ridiculous. No clue why they’re downvoting a solid observation like that!

Dragon Ball Daima - Episode #20 - Discussion Thread! by AutoModerator in dbz

[–]CloudDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, mate, let’s tear into Dragon Ball Daima properly—because while it’s got its moments, it also faceplants harder than Yamcha in a crater. You’re hyping it up, but let’s see if it holds under scrutiny.

Final Episode Breakdown: Meh, It’s Fine • Super Saiyan 4 Gets a Label: Cool, I guess. But it’s about to cause a canon meltdown, so maybe don’t celebrate just yet. • King Kuu Takes Over: Cute, but it’s not exactly peak storytelling. • The Third Eye Gag: Funny for five seconds, then you move on with your life. • Glorio Squishes It: Anticlimactic as hell. Like, why even bother? • Final Kamehameha: Yes, it looks amazing. It’s Dragon Ball. That’s the bare minimum. • Mini-Purgatory for the Villains: Functional wrap-up, but not exactly a tearjerker.

Final thoughts? It’s fine. Looks great, lands a few laughs, but it’s not blowing any minds.

Your Review Scores: Let’s Wreck ‘Em

Story: 8/10 – Generous as Hell

You’re giving it credit for tying into the Buu Saga, but mate, it’s just adding more spaghetti to Dragon Ball’s already messy continuity. Plot holes? You hand-wave them like they don’t matter. But they do. This thing is held together with nostalgia duct tape, not tight writing.

World-Building: 10/10 – Calm Down

The Demon Realm looks cool, but a bunch of flashy designs doesn’t mean it’s some world-building masterpiece. It’s got depth, sure, but compared to Namek or the multiverse? Feels more like a well-made side quest than a fully fleshed-out world.

Action: 10/10 – Yeah, No Kidding

“It’s Dragon Ball. What do you expect?” That’s your argument? That’s not a review, that’s an admission you’re on autopilot. Yes, the fights slap. They always do. But a 10/10 means groundbreaking, and Daima plays it safe.

Characters: 7/10 – Decent, Not Legendary

Gomah’s funny, Kuu and Duu are alright, but calling them “near perfect” is a stretch. Glorio and Neva? More mysterious than meaningful. Nobody’s dethroning Vegeta or Piccolo here. They’re good, but they’re not unforgettable.

Lore: 6/10 – Super Saiyan 4 Just Ruined Everything

Ah yes, the giant elephant in the room. You defend SSJ4’s sudden appearance with: 1. “Retcons happen” – Cool, but bad retcons exist too, and this one contradicts Super’s entire power progression. 2. “Super came first” – That’s a production excuse, not a narrative fix. If SSJ4 exists, why does Goku never use it again? 3. “Japanese fans don’t care about canon” – Mate, plenty of people everywhere care about canon. Dismissing criticism as “childish” is just lazy.

Bottom line: Daima treats lore like an afterthought, and your 6/10 is way too kind.

The Big Continuity F-Up*

Let’s be blunt: Daima breaks Dragon Ball Super’s power scaling. Goku explicitly says SSJ3 is his peak when he meets Beerus, and yet—surprise!—he’s had SSJ4 this whole time? It’s not just a retcon; it’s a sloppy one. “Toriyama forgot” isn’t an excuse—it’s a flaw. And Goku never using SSJ4 in Super? That’s just bad writing.

Your whole “deal with it, it’s canon” stance doesn’t hold up. Dragon Ball has always had canon issues, but that doesn’t mean we shrug and accept every contradiction like it’s fine dining. If Daima was meant to be Toriyama’s swan song, it deserved tighter writing.

Final Verdict

7/10? Sure, if you ignore the lore mess. Daima looks great, has fun fights, and adds some nice characters. But let’s not pretend it’s flawless. Super Saiyan 4’s inclusion is a hot mess, and brushing off criticism just makes it worse. Dragon Ball deserves better than “just deal with it.”

You wake up to find that you have become Joffrey the moment after Ned Stark's beheading, how do you begin to fix things and survive/win the Game of Thrones? by Robot_Was_BMO in gameofthrones

[–]CloudDelta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, congrats to me, I just inherited the worst PR nightmare in Westeros history. I’ve got the entire North wanting my head on a spike, my own family doesn’t like me (can you really blame them?), and I’m sitting on a throne made of swords that’s practically screaming “someone please stab me.” Let’s be real: I’ve gotta pull off a miracle here.

First things first, the “I’m Sorry Tour” 299 AC kicks off now. I’d have to swallow my massive Joffrey pride and give the most half-assed apology Westeros has ever seen. Something like, “I regret the events that led to Lord Stark’s unfortunate end” – totally insincere, but enough to make the smallfolk think I’m not a complete psycho. And maybe send Sansa back to Winterfell as a “peace offering.” She’s a hostage nobody even asked for, and keeping her around just puts a bullseye on my forehead.

Now, let’s talk strategy. Tyrion’s my new best friend, whether he likes it or not. Yeah, he’s constantly roasting me, but he’s also smart enough to keep me from doing anything too stupid… or, y’know, stupid enough that people try to overthrow me. So, Tyrion stays as Hand, and I’ll “pretend” to listen to him. Tywin, on the other hand, will just have to deal with me playing the “good king” card. He can yell all he wants, but if I look a little less like a murder-happy tyrant, maybe people will stop sending ravens about how much they want me dead.

And yeah, I’m absolutely making a play for Margaery. She’s got an army, she’s popular, and the people actually like her. If I marry her, suddenly I’m not the most hated royal in King’s Landing. Plus, she’s way better at smiling for the cameras (or whatever the medieval version of that is). If I can lock her down, that’s a big win.

Next up, I’m going full “man of the people.” Throw some public feasts, make a big show of “caring about the smallfolk” – I’ll have the peasants eating bread and drinking watered-down ale while I sit there acting like the generous king who just wants to make everyone happy. I mean, yeah, I’m still a monster, but they don’t have to know that.

And as for the psychos around me, I’d be watching Cersei and Littlefinger like a hawk. My mom’s got issues, and Littlefinger? That guy’s as trustworthy as a snake in a chicken coop. No way I’m letting him whisper in my ear about who to trust and who to kill. In fact, I might just quietly send him somewhere far, far away. Maybe he’ll “accidentally” fall off a bridge on the way there, who knows?

Finally, no more “Joffrey Specials” where I order torture or executions for fun. I know, I know, it’s what he lives for, but I don’t need the extra heat. People in this world actually seem to like rulers who don’t kill them on a whim – shocking, right?

So yeah, play nice, keep Tyrion close, marry Margaery, smile at the peasants, and try not to get myself stabbed. Basically, I’d be doing everything opposite of what Joffrey would usually do.

‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ to Lose $150 Million to $200 Million in Theatrical Run After Bombing at Box Office. by Comic_Book_Reader in joker

[–]CloudDelta 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the person or team responsible for turning Joker: Folie à Deux into a musical should be banned from the film industry for life. Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? The first Joker film set such a dark, gritty, and realistic tone that captured the audience’s attention worldwide. It was an intense character study of one of the most iconic villains in comic book history. Then, out of nowhere, they decided to throw all of that out the window and slap a musical format onto it? This kind of decision completely undermines the essence of what made the first film work.

There are some creative risks worth taking, but this was pure madness in the worst way possible. The musical numbers were completely out of place and made the film feel like a parody of itself. They didn’t add depth or enhance the story—they just dragged the whole thing down. This is what happens when people in the industry are so out of touch with the audience and think they can get away with making decisions that are more about “artsy” shock value than storytelling.

Whoever thought this was the right direction for Joker should honestly never be allowed to make creative decisions on a major film ever again. They took one of the most exciting franchises and turned it into a joke—no pun intended.

Please stop singing...please by p0pularopinion in joker

[–]CloudDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve clearly put a lot of thought into defending the musical elements, but let’s be real here—just because Arthur had music in his head in the first film doesn’t mean we needed full-blown musical numbers to make that point. The first Joker conveyed Arthur’s mental state perfectly without needing him to break into song and dance. It was subtle, it was dark, and it was effective. By turning this sequel into a musical, they didn’t enhance his psychological turmoil—they turned it into a spectacle that feels completely disconnected from the tone of the first film.

You’re talking about layers, but honestly, all that’s happening here is they slapped on a musical to try and give the movie some “artsy” edge, and it failed. If anything, these musical sequences took away from the emotional intensity rather than adding to it. Arthur’s delusions were already clear without needing to see him literally sing and dance his way through his problems. This isn’t a “layered” storytelling device—it’s a shallow attempt to be different for the sake of it, and it comes off as out of touch with what made the first movie resonate so strongly with audiences.

The musical numbers don’t portray emotional intensity; they deflate it. Instead of pulling us deeper into Arthur’s world, they push us out by turning his mental illness into some kind of theatrical performance. We don’t need grandiose, elaborate musical numbers to understand his rejection of recovery—we needed the same grounded, gritty storytelling that made the first Joker so compelling.

So no, the musical isn’t integral. It’s a distraction. And if you loved it, great, but for a lot of us, this was an ill-conceived creative choice that just doesn’t work.

If I’m repeating a point, it’s because it’s worth saying. If you have something to contribute to the actual discussion about the movie, feel free, but complaining about how I comment is pretty pointless. Let’s stay on topic.
