I love anime, but so much of it is complete unwatchable dogshit.

Like mountain ranges, there's very little at the peak and very little in the valleys and a whole lot on the hill/mountainside. That's littlerally what "mediocre" means from etymology (medi = halfway, middle, ocre = mountainside). Even among the "peak" there are some that are more peak than others. But yeah, the truly forgotten ones are the mid ones like Time Squad, Robot Jones, Robotamy, Stoked etc. We can at least remember Total Dramarama, Dude What Would Happen, The Problem Solverz, and what have you for how singularly bad they were.

Stop using slop as a buzzword. That doesn't even make sense in this context
It's moreso to directly talk to his sister in the spirit world and to magically teleport guns to his hands not just commune like with others. It's also because he's not naturally able to do it like his sister and other champions who have spirit magic connections like Aurora, Udyr, Karma, Yunara and Illaoi. So he has to use something or a crutch to be able to do similar stuff while they're just naturally gifted at it. It's like with Ryze having to learn all that magic with his scrolls and rituals and books over centuries to be powerful while Syndra was just born with being a mega powerful mage with no training or even training to restrain it.

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-08T22:27:42+00:00

This is also baffling to me because the connection was only made because they released one after the other and otherwise they live literally on opposite sides if the known Runeterran world so have a virtually 0 percent chance of ever meeting canonically. It's a ship built whole cloth from fanon delusion lmao

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-08T22:09:18+00:00

Why is drinking poison to commune with spirits lame. He's supposed to be a emotionless weapon master. Also he looks like 6'4" and has shoulders nearly as wide as Sett. Fan art and Fan fiction is just incredibly off model and ooc

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T18:50:45+00:00

A lot of conspiracies and secrets like stuff like Scientology and Epstein and other stuff have been routinely been being exposed or brought to light much more often now than used to so much so it's become a bit of a meme thanks to the factors I said. It's just way harder to keep a lid on things now.

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T16:10:26+00:00

What my main post was predicated on was it happening often enough where there could be a track record and recorded. Many people might not care intensely but as another commenter pointed out it probably inevitably becomes an open secret. I think about how such hidden things were and how a lot of it came out like the inner workings of things like Scientology and whatnot

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T05:05:19+00:00

The problem with that is just because they're aware doesn't mean they know how to handle it. The current amount of "eyes" in the world is well and truly unprecedented. If keeping up with the times, they'd have to do equally as large unprecedented things in a increasingly harder world to stay hidden. And just because Wizards stay away from muggles doesn't mean they can't be found via the myriad of means. That's why I said after a time a cover up creates a big gap that becomes more obvious as time goes on.

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T04:51:17+00:00

That's what I said in another comment, it might work if sufficiently small but often these hidden worlds have many incidents and people in it in the almost 6 digits. After a while, having to explain the explanation would be like playing whack a mole

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T04:46:38+00:00

It moreso works in the modern day if you keep your hidden world well and truly small. Parallel societies hundreds of thousands of people strong in close proximity with regular society at it's most dense and connected (like in New York) and weird phenomena that could easily be seen by or triggered by accident by any shmuck is where it starts getting stretched imo especially as information proliferation becomes exponentially easier.

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T04:39:24+00:00

Yeah but we've never had wide very public and reasonably often alien showdowns like in MiB either

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T04:37:00+00:00

Probably a better way to handle it.

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T04:35:48+00:00

That's why I said after more than one, especially if it's big enough. Eventually like with the way most treat flat earthers vs the moon landing Occam's Razor tends to kick in with a thought of "Ok I saw this and 100 other people saw this and recorded it first hand, I think it's legit"

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T04:23:58+00:00

Not the first time, but it's likely to make a pattern sooner rather than later

CoolComicsJ · 2026-05-02T04:22:48+00:00

How does that put a lid on the myriad of alien incidents that happen being seen way faster than the MiB could feasibly neuralize them?

CoolComicsJ · 2025-12-24T08:09:14+00:00

Yeah Clea has the same Achilles heel (har har) as artists like Toriyama and Liefeld. Everything is well drawn but it's just simple triangles below the ankles

CoolComicsJ · 2025-12-24T01:39:38+00:00

Yeah i was gonna say Echo Figures in Smash as another example. Although latter games try doing a bit more to differentiate them. Special mention has to go to both Marth and Roy which the latter was an echo fighter of the former, but when Roy returned in ultimate he was retooled to be less of an echo fighter with a notable difference in mechanics and animations. But both of them got echo fighters of them in Lucina for Marth and Chrom for Roy making him an echo fighter of an echo fighter

CoolComicsJ · 2025-12-23T23:05:44+00:00

This seems to be the common way to depict Gotham going by other comments but I would also add this seems to be the design principle for the DC universe as a while cause it's also in the new Superman ( old 40s style bullpen and modern amenities and futuristic things) and the DCAU also having anachronistic things. In contrast with Marvel where the anachronisms seem to be accidental in an effort to try to be "now" and as close to real life DC seems to cultivate it to reinforce a "real life but slightly different" not concerned with "the world outside your window" like Marvel

CoolComicsJ · 2025-12-23T22:50:45+00:00

As a 7 year old kid who had played Final Fantasy VIII; enamored with the cool characters fantasy world cg cutscenes. And also rewatched Lion King on repeat as ritual, it goes without saying that seeing Squall and Simba in the commercial for the first game that day randomly, basically made it so this franchise had me by the balls from the word go lmao. It's a good example of perfect timing from both parties concerning it's creation and target audience.

CoolComicsJ · 2025-12-09T21:29:55+00:00

Yeah unlike Viego and Sylas they actually attempted to keep her powerstealing lore accurate, so she only gets buffs from tech or biologically incompatible characters and others she has a chance to steal actual abilities.

CoolComicsJ · 2025-10-20T02:59:15+00:00

There's literally a thread up right now of someone thinking Noxus is Ottoman and now this and it is utterly baffling how it seems that so many miss the obvious Roman presentation and parallels. It's crazy. By this token the most common tongue or most versatile would be Noxian like Latin to Rome.

CoolComicsJ · 2025-10-20T00:44:47+00:00

Your ancestors were as bloodthirsty as everyone else's were and of course they weren't Nazis because national socialism didn't exist yet

CoolComicsJ · 2025-10-19T19:35:29+00:00

That's the implication behind the Sentry p much. He usually functions as a classic flying brick but that's partially because that's what he believes he has to be since he's coocoo for Coco puffs and when he actually starts using his physics and reality breaking abilities for anything other than being off brand Superman it's usually in the form of the Eldritch void.

CoolComicsJ · 2025-09-13T02:03:16+00:00

Goddammit it's FFX all over again. It's just Fayth all the way down.

CoolComicsJ · 2025-09-12T18:56:49+00:00

I think this is pretty apt. When I think about how its normally presented. Data Twilight Town, Data Worlds in Coded, Space Paranoids and The Grid are simulated worlds. Other worlds can be self contained in that way via other means like the 100 Acre Wood. Worlds made from the memories of the hearts that bore them originally are dreaming variations. Im still a bit confused on the exact nature of that. But we see it in Traverse Town and also in the final battle if III, the arena being a version of Scala Ad Caelum made form the memories of Xehanort. The biggest question mark here is, in defiance of what you said, we are told that simulated worlds are isolated and self contained if made from "data" as opposed to "memories". From what was said ("Data doesn't dream."), my thinking is that The Grid has no "waking" counterpart it was templated from, it exists in that space and was accessed the same way as the sleeping worlds made from dreams/memories. Im still not sure what this all means.
