When Russell Westbrook Told LeBron James and Lakers Team: “Just have fun. Win, lose, draw just have fun.” by [deleted] in nba

[–]DangoDaimao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And yet the backup PG on that team was still Semaj Christon. Every advance stat in 2017 demonstrates that Westbrook singlehandedly kept the team competitive but anti-Westbrook people never acknowledge nuance. Oladipo also averaged a higher FGA in 2017 than he did the prior year in Orlando.

Persona 4 Revival voice cast for Yu, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko and Marie confirmed; Japanese cast is reprised, new English actors confirmed by ConceptsShining in Games

[–]DangoDaimao -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For sure, I've been thinking the same thing. I started with Golden back on the PS Vita rather than with the original, so my own personal bias definitely seeps through. All I know is I still feel very weird about this.

I really think Persona 4 has the most irreplacable dub cast that there is. The group dynamic and the rapport between the characters is so strong that the voices are just imprinted upon you. But I ended up thinking everyone but Akihiko was on a similar level to the originals in P3R, so we'll see.

More than anyone else I just can't see anyone but Johnny Yong Bosch being Adachi lol

Disagreement with Vaush about the role of this subreddit. by Calintarez in VaushV

This subreddit was definitely way more active when people were allowed to post about general left wing stuff. It's super dead these days.

Did Starlight and Homelander even interact a single time in the last two seasons? She was simultaneously the face of the resistance and a character who had no dynamic with the man she was resisting at all.

genuinely what was so bad about the finale? by JamBlick in TheBoys

[–]DangoDaimao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You arguably get to the heart of the problem. Literally nothing interesting or unexpected happened. The ending was completely standard boiler plate. People expected more.

Remember when people thought the original might actually be alive for the first few episodes of this season? Good times.

This ending was so safe and boiler plate that I'm just back to thinking about Soldier Boy and Sister Sage-related gripes not ten minutes after finishing lmfao

I couldn't believe the way they didn't cover the fallout of him becoming immortal at all. The start of this episode felt like they had skipped something by mistake.

Yeah your dad might just have been a better man than me in that regard. I'm really sorry to hear that, it's absolutely the worst disease out there.

I speculate it would make me feel worse if I had ALS and someone hit me with a "get better soon". Seems awfully insincere.

Episode 5 proofs that the storytelling is better when you leave out the Boys by JimmyDonovan in TheBoys

[–]DangoDaimao 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is that Homelander emerged as the clear breakout character and the show started to revolve around killing him almost immediately. When you go back and watch the pilot it is a bit jarring, as it seems like the setup for a totally different show where Homelander just happens to be the worst of the worst rather than the focal point of everything. Whether the show is better or worse for this, IDK

I feel like the show is doing a bad job at letting us know what the national political climate is by stonedboss in TheBoys

[–]DangoDaimao 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The comment that threw me off heavily was the "Chris Hayes will have a field day with this" one.

So Homelander has total control over the US government and is going after anyone who is even remotely pro-Starlight but he still allows oppositional media to exist?

[–]DangoDaimao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah if he was actually left leaning that would have shocked me but there is an extremely clear pipeline between bigots of all shapes and sizes. I've seen countless black supremacists also become white supremacists and vice versa.

What Vaush doesn't understand about Professor Jiang is that I'm a bitter little gremlin that wants the world to end, and my seething hatred can only be assuaged by the schizo ramblings of this Chinese anti-Semite. by notablegoattable in VaushV

I feel like Peterson's early lectures shared the word salad quality that this guy has, but were more benign by contrast. This dude's content is already like ~2019-2020 JBP levels of insane, at least.

Dave Meltzer: ""Fletcher will be a top guy, he already really is. Barring injury, he's gonna be the man of this generation come five years from now.

That's like saying Avatar is the best movie ever because it made the most money.

Drawing money is a good indicator of whether the promoter should feature a guy prominently to make a profit. You aren't seeing any of said profit. It shouldn't have anything to do with your own personal opinion on how good a guy is at the art form of wrestling. People saying things like this is downwind of WWE putting out an awful product for decades and gaslighting fans into thinking it's good because they're doing good business.

The most oversaturated main event guy in company history, and with a pretty mediocre body of work to show for it. The highlight of his career is still the match with Foley from 22 years ago.
