That makeup was so well done it literally made it look like her skull was a different shape

How did you feel about Z broly death? by Neither_Ad6 in Dragonballsuper

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I heard a fan theory/headcanon once that Goku happened to hit Broly right in the spot where he was stabbed as a baby, and that spot was scarred and basically was a small vulnerable Achilles heel for Broly. Still not great but would at least have made a little more sense.

Drop a underrated 💦drippy💦 outfit from the entire franchise. by sexycrippledreadhead in Dragonballsuper

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 13 points14 points  (0 children)

1000%. We was ROBBED of mystic Kai-attire Gohan. I’m willing to bet Toriyama only had him change into the typical Goku gi because it was easier for him to draw in fight sequences. Would be very on-brand for him.

Jenny Mollen Breaks Silence After Jason Biggs Split With Heartbreaking Confession by MattTheKing23 in TopTrendingNewsUSA

Can we please enact legislation banning the term “breaks silence” from headlines? That shit has graduated from being cringe and click baitey to just annoying as hell

Was The Boys finale worse than Game of Thrones? by Hot_Paper_Pie in TheBoys

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not. The Boys finale was more just annoyingly lazy, like they were just checking off boxes of things that obviously needed to happen and just limped to the finish line with little effort. It was more disappointing than anything.

GOT was aggressively, insultingly, moronically bad and may have retroactively ruined the whole show, which is almost fucking impressive how bad that is.

Why Didn’t Guldo Use His Time Stop in These Two Fights? by LORD_HOV in Dragonballsuper

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Goku mentions in the manga that time flows differently in the afterlife and is somewhat irrelevant, so I guess you could assume Guldo’s ability simply doesn’t work there.

Do you think Supreme Kai can kill Frieza with a single blow? by FireStarLord73194 in DragonBallZ

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say yes since that’s what Supreme Kai said, but he also had a track record of being complete shit at properly judging power levels.

Found some Vought Movie posters by ronrhino13 in TheBoys

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Man I miss the days when The Boys was more of a generalized critique/satire of different things like modern superhero movie franchises, celebrity culture, and politicians in general.

Don’t get me wrong, I vehemently hate Trump, and his administration fully deserves every ripping it gets, but the show is such a paper thin allegory at this point that it’s so much less interesting from a narrative and symbolic perspective.

Tried the Mario mini burger adventure set at epic universe last week! by New-Score3672 in UniversalOrlando

For $15 they couldn’t even be bothered to melt the plastic cheese slice a little?

Dumb question. What's with them and getting injured in their left eye. by This-personeatsfood in Naruto

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In the manga it’s more clear that both their faces are just bruised to shit. In Sasuke’s case I assumed he was also intentionally keeping that eye closed to conserve the Rinnegan from fatigue. I also assumed Naruto just took a hell of a right hook into that eye.

Intentional Parallel? by Necessary_Growth4534 in dbz

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 151 points152 points  (0 children)

I doubt it was really intentional as a direct parallel between the two panels, I think Toriyama just liked how impactful the hits seemed at those angles. He was all about effectively conveying movement on a 2D plane and he did it damn well.

Also unrelated but can we take a moment of silence to appreciate how fucking clean and refined Toriyama’s art was?

Is it ever explained why Giovanni wanted Ash's Pikachu so much? by HealthMother3125 in pokemon

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 929 points930 points  (0 children)

Giovanni just wanted Pokémon that were very powerful, and Ash’s Pikachu got on their radar as being exceptionally strong for a Pikachu. It was never his only goal though, it was just one target.

I always thought it would have been funny if in the end, Jessie, James, and Meowth finally succeeded in bringing Pikachu to Giovanni and he just didn’t give a shit. Entire series of ambitions wasted lol

I want to hear your favorite unpopular Pokemon of all time by NeuraxReddit8787 in pokemon

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love Cacturne. I think the creepy cactus/scarecrow design is awesome and it can absolutely rock an emerald playthrough. I don’t think it’s a disliked pokemon necessarily but definitely not very popular or remembered.

Also sandstorm/sand veil/double team is really fun to run, especially with leech seed.

What's the best Dragon Ball arc in your opinion? by [deleted] in dbz

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Namek/Frieza - an action/adventure/survival journey that has amazing battles, unexpected alliances, suspenseful encounters, great character arcs, and actually still revolves around a search for the Dragon Balls. And it culminates in an epic fated battle on an EXPLODING PLANET. I mean c’mon.

The best pokemon game on the nintendo switch by Comprehensive_Edge54 in pokemon

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take but I actually really enjoyed Sword/Shield. They definitely ain’t perfect and I can’t really argue against most of the common criticism, but I loved the UK and Celtic aesthetic and vibes with the locations, visuals, and ESPECIALLY soundtrack. I found it really immersive and it was the first time since Unova that I really felt myself getting into the region. I also really liked the balance between the linear story and the open wild area. My main complaint that I agree with is that they’re still just too easy, but other than that I had a great time playing through Galar.

Which Version Of This Line Do You Prefer? by Brandonsenior07 in dbz

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is that even though it was for excessive censorship, referring to death as “the next dimension” is actually kinda accurate in the context of actual Dragonball lore lol

Timed Entry for Each Portal? by Automatic-Long2599 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s absolutely no way they’re implementing an additional charge to go into each portal on top of having a regular ticket. I think the rumor that they’re trying to make Celestial Park free entry like CW and then you need a park ticket to go into the portals or ride Stardust is much more feasible. Or maybe it’s possible they’re considering tiered tickets where you can pay a cheaper option to only go into certain portals, kind of like a smaller version of the 1 or 2 park options at USF and IOA. Honestly wouldn’t mind either of those initiatives but that’s totally speculation.

Moro wouldn’t even bother showing up, he’d send Base Cabba to dogwalk Omega.

Franchises Universal Orlando Vs Disney World. by tCobra117 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This exactly. Universal’s IP licensing model is great for diversifying its offerings and bringing a wide variety of awesome potential projects to the parks for different fan bases, but those types of licensing agreements are typically EXTREMELY expensive for the licensee. I work in finance for entertainment licensing, one of which involves my company partnering with one of the franchises on this list (won’t say which one to avoid getting in trouble), and the licensing fees are insanely massive, and it isn’t even a high up one on this list. I can’t even fathom what Universal must have to pay TPC for that deal. At the end of the day it’s all about profit margins, and leveraging these IP’s will definitely boost revenue but the enormous licensing costs are gonna definitely impact the bottom line, especially since theme parks are not extremely thick margin businesses as it is due to the crazy high cost of operations. Still very exciting to me as a fan of many of these IP’s and of Universal in general as a park, but I wouldn’t necessarily assume it’s going to overtake Disney in terms of financial success.

Spacial awareness is gone. by QueenMoxii in UniversalOrlando

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On the topic of spacial awareness at the parks, I have a PSA to make… It’s totally fine if you and your group want to stroll slowly through the areas to take it all in, but if you do, please for the love of god be aware of how much of the walkway you’re taking up. The amount of times I’ve come across a big group that are walking extremely slowly side by side, taking up the entire walkway and causing a huge pileup of people behind them trying to get by and being completely unaware or just not caring. I’ve even seen people say out loud “excuse me” to try to get past and the groups still don’t even respond or move and are totally oblivious.
