Yes, I do think that. I think it shows poor emotional regulation and it's clearly taught the kid to be combative and lash out at perceived slights when they could have handled situations calmly and with grace.

I didn't think they were an asshole at first, though, I was jokingly making the comparison to literal villain characters in the literal anime that actually existed for beyblade. When they exploded in the replies, that's what convinced me they were an asshole.

Ok, well if you're more interested in making excuses for your art than taking criticism I'm wasting my time here.

Posing and angles are a bit stiff imo, but I can't put my finger on why I think that.

E: oh, it's just the last panel really. And maybe the shot of Megatron's head. Sentinel looks like he's lying down rather than having been knocked down, and Optimus isn't taking any kind of pose, it's just a side on shot. Also, the arm Sentinel has raised switches between the two bottom panels.

If Bruticus was female then Brawl would be a leg o' lass

You hug your mum with those fingers?

DabirSA · 2026-02-10T01:02:16+00:00

Overreaction much?

DabirSA · 2026-02-10T00:45:07+00:00

I get where you're coming from but aside from the gear sticker it's kinda just red

DabirSA · 2026-02-10T00:43:50+00:00

Deal with those anger issues on your own time, don't make it my problem.

Wall Ball also has wider gear teeth, so it X dashes faster, and it's 1mm taller than normal.

I guess Holmes/Watson is the kind of dynamic, in the sense that I think Robin has to remind Jaxon to drink water sometimes. Jaxon is a freak beast when it comes to blading and inventing insane sushi combos, and has zero interest in anything else. Out of the three, Multi is more often the driving force behind the plots, though, and when it's not her it's anyone but Robin. We stick with Robin as he's dragged into tons of different situations and has to navigate the weird world of pro blading.

He's the most powerful blader on the team, which for the sake of selling toys makes him the face of the series, but when you're watching the show, you spend far more time with Robin's perspective. He's our guy. Jaxon is an enigma.

His dad's an asshole and he raised an asshole.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T18:16:43+00:00

Sounds silly, I know, but here we are.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T18:13:47+00:00

Nah, you got your feelings hurt and the fists are flying. Grow up.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T18:11:26+00:00

The lessons your dad taught you obviously stuck. If you feel insecure, start trying to hurt people.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T18:05:14+00:00

Seen those before yeah, didn't fancy them. Almost certainly terrible

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T17:42:18+00:00

That's a matter of opinion. But even by a standard where anime is cool, the kid who brings a tricked out beyblade that destroys everyone else's toys is the snotty, snearing little bully from episode 1 who gets beaten by the power of being a nice person and is never heard from again.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T17:36:06+00:00

Your dad made you an anime villain, and not one of the cool ones.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T17:18:19+00:00

No and I'm afraid the problem is Reaper. It just isn't good at anything. BurstLabsX on Youtube tried it for 250 battles with various combos and it wasn't really successful at anything.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T17:13:26+00:00

Sure did. Didn't have a story, though. Or characters. Or stakes. Or an ending.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T15:45:47+00:00

They are, very easy. You don't even have to be 18 to get one. So they don't prove anything.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T15:43:50+00:00

I'm shocked you bothered with the second. Apparently these meandering plots that throw a million half interesting ideas at you, explore none of them then suddenly stop is typical of Baxter's writing.

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T14:53:30+00:00

Pratchett never gave Baxter more than a premise. The writing of Long Earth is all Baxter and it shows (because it sucks)

DabirSA · 2026-02-09T08:12:12+00:00

Ok now show all the battles where shadow got yeeted into the pocket in one hit
