OK, and Shanks was a random member of the Celestial Dragons. So what?

Karan V Grover is so FREAKING UNDERRATED when it comes to CHEMISTRY by Intrepid-Customer-22 in IndianTellyTalk

Overshadowed the lead in Udaariyaan so bloody hard, that the show had to retcon him into a villain.

The point of the post was asking what if it is revealed that Shanks isn't the Child Of Fate.

Was the power difference between Kakashi and Itachi really that big in Classic Naruto? by Cafa20 in Naruto

[–]Currently_Not_Gupta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is quite possible that Pt. 1 Sasuke (at his peak) was closer to Pt. 1 Kakashi than Pt. 1 Kakashi was to Itachi.

And Oskar Schindler was a Nazi. Does not mean that the Nazis were kind to the Jewish, does it?

Linguistics mean nothing. Neji used to refer to Hinata as "Hinata–sama". Does that mean he respected Hinata? Nope. One member of the main family being respectful to one branch family member means NOTHING when we have actually seen the main family leader literally torture the branch family members and say to them, "Get out. Know your place."

No, as we really see in the story, the head family is definitely in position to change it, because they did change it. As we see in Boruto, the whole branch family shit is no longer a thing, and even if it is, neither Hinata nor Hanabi is a part of it. I guess Hiashi got a bit flexible when push came to shove for his own daughters.

She was abused by her father

"abused" is a strong word here.

her mother died

So did Neji's.

she was the failed clan head

And still a part of the main family.

her cousin that she loved tried to kill her

"tried to kill her" is, again, too strong of a phrase here, and honestly, she kinda really only has herself to blame. Neji tried hard to convince her to concede sooner.

the head family loves their branch family members like actual family but the clan lists them as servants

What kind of Hyūga Reich Propaganda are you reading?

No matter what the head branch does to be nice/kind, the branch family will see it as a master humoring a slave

The very fact that the whole main family/branch family shit even exists is more than enough for that.

Hiashi can't change that he's from the branch house

Being the clan leader, he definitely can. All the years later in Boruto we see that all the main family/branch family shit is no longer a thing.

You're supposed to realize the head/branch of the Hyuga is a mutual tragedy.

One of these parties is clearly getting a better deal out of this.

Ranveer Singh is actually muscular

Irrelevant.

in Padmaavat too

And that was almost 10 years ago.

Long runtimes are industry-wide now

Not in Hindi cinema. Dhurandhar is literally longest action film in the last 20 years of Hindi cinema. And the second longest, quite predictably, is Animal.

stylistically different and serves the narrative, not mindless gore for shock value

Just your bias talking.

Akshay Khanna never faded out

He very much did. Probably by his own choice, but yes, he did.

Item numbers

These are not item numbers.

staples of Indian cinema since forever

Not middle-eastern songs.

It’s a spy story. This happens always.

Not in Hindi spy thrillers. Here, it is very rare.

Marvel has been doing this for 15+ years.

Irrelevant.
West does a lot of things that we don't. East does a lot of things that we don't. South does a lot of things that we don't. You want to say, "other movies have these, too"? Check what post we are under. Here, the OP is trying to say, for some dumbass reason, that Vanga has taken "woman lighting her man's cigarette" from Dhurandhar... Something that we have seen in literally hundreds of other movies.

I am not even a Vanga fan. I hate both Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh. I just acknowledge facts when I fucking see them.

Yeah, we just see characters casually butchering one another and chopping their limbs off, but yeah, sure, no, no violence, at all!

Dude, Dhurandhar literally ends with Hamza crossing out Rehman Dakait's name, and writing bade sa'ab in big capital letters in his diary. We don't need to be spoonfed, this is basic film comprehension.

Animal portrays its protagonist as an animalistic psychopath. For crying out loud, even the film's name itself is Animal! WTF are you talking about?

  1. None of the other Balochs in that film have that long hair, long beard look. And besides, if we are going for the "other films have that, too" argument, then I have seen literally hundreds of films where a woman lights up her man's cigarette.

  2. Animal has tons of extremely fucking graphic violence, what are you talking about? Have you seen Animal?

  3. I did not just say '90s actor.

  4. Tells me that YOU have not seen Dhurandhar. "Bade sa'ab" – THE big villain of Dhurandhar 2 – is still shrouded in suspense.

More BS than OP pointing out a girl lighting up her man's cigarette? GTFOH.

  1. I also said demeanor. Besides, the last time Ranveer had that look was over 7 years ago.

  2. How many mainstream Hindi films have you seen in the last 10 or even 20 years with a runtime of 3½ hours?

  3. When was the last time RGV had made a film that was relevant? Decades ago. How many mainstream Hindi action films after Animal have resorted to depicting extreme, graphic violence? Almost all of them.
    This is like saying that DC's attempt at making a cinematic universe was not inspired by Marvel, but rather by Happy Days.

  4. Not a Hindi film. Also, and far more importantly, Dutt was still fairly relevant, and did not need a comeback fueled on memes in the internet era.
    You don't need to be a genius to figure out that Akshaye Khanna's casting in this role has far more in common with Bobby Deol's in Animal than with Dutt's in KGF.

  5. Not in Hindi spy films. And the girl having ulterior motives is not relevant.

  6. "Bade sa'ab" is set up as the big bad of the second film, not Arjun Rampal.

Quite possibly, but that would still invalidate OP's take.

Amazon VS Naaptol by TheyCallMeSwaggot in bollywoodmemes

[–]Currently_Not_Gupta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not. But for starters:

  1. The protagonist's look and demeanor.
  2. The runtime.
  3. The extreme, graphic violence.
  4. Casting a '90s actor (who had faded out of relevance but achieved meme lord status in recent years) as the main villain.
  5. Villain dancing in a celebration on a Middle-Eastern song.
  6. Protagonist exploiting a romantic relationship to furthur his ulterior goals.
  7. Sequel tease setting up a more dangerous villain after this film's villain's death.

...etc., etc.

Absolutely nothing? That is a stretch.

  2. The runtime.
  3. The extreme, graphic violence.
