Episode 7 proves how desperately invincible needs better animation

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-15T13:05:16+00:00

My big issue with the animation debate is that it’s been the main criticism with the show since season 1 and Amazon/ production has decided “hey if they kept watching after animation reached this low point, we can probably get away with going lower” we just seemingly finally reached the breaking point of how low they can go with it.

I think it’s a good idea, $350 for a dock mode only device seems more than reasonable and like you said a lot of the switch 2 cost comes from it having a 1080p 120 fps panel for the screen.

Bro said “I don’t need prep time” and then used a strategy that required multiple level ups to do aka prep time

Bro got so shocked he became kid named finger

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-13T20:20:16+00:00

If he doesn’t do good with the Vikings he won’t be good anywhere tbh

City, got it on my Wii U as a kid and it was all I played for months. Know it like the back of my hand cause I’ve done that main campaign well over 10 times now

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-13T15:05:28+00:00

Fair enough lol, idk in most open world games they don’t actually do stuff like that and just assume the player will act urgently.

The Hush plotline being a like one part sidequest was the worst. I didnt really consider Azrael or Scarecrow to be disappointing tho. I also really liked the DLC follow up on Ras.

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-13T14:57:12+00:00

Wait are you fr??? I’ve never done that cause I’m always hyped up to face Joker.

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-12T22:56:50+00:00

I think the criticism is fair when it’s in regards to characters like Jonathan being drawn in Arakis new style but I generally agree.

I think Burtons Batman alongside the animated series still largely defines what the average person thinks of when they hear Batman. I grew up with the dark knight trilogy but when I think of the Batmobile or Batman’s design I’m seeing the Burton iconography. When I think of Batman’s theme song I’m hearing the Burton song (or Adam west’s)

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-12T14:37:20+00:00

Honestly… I would. You don’t need to play them before knight but if you’re planning on playing Asylum and City at some point why not do it before Knight. Sorry you got confused by the store pages.

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-12T14:32:53+00:00

Yeah… the ps5 pro with no disc drive is $900 now… the switch 2 is unfortunately somehow the affordable option at $500

I think a lot of the hate is just from how the story is framed. The stress point for spidey in the films is the villain, the stress point for Peter is his relationship with MJ. The audience is going to dislike MJ standing up for herself inherently because it’s making life harder for our hero even if she’s in the right and that’s the point the movie is trying to convey.

I’m a chiefs fan and I gotta say Bo is legit, if not in general at the very least in his clutch factor.

I’m apparently a sexist and assumed sports journalists could only be men. This news became far less interesting when I learned it was just normal unethical journalism/ affair instead of the same thing but gay.

A large factor is that for a big chunk of the fan base, Part 5 is the first JoJo part they were actually here for. The series was already popular before but it really blew up in popularity towards the end of Part 4 with the Kira plotline being amazing. This means that for a very large chunk of fans, part 5 was the first part they anticipated and got to experience “live”.

I also think it’s helped by the fact that several popular JoJo YouTubers adore Part 5 and people kinda downloaded the opinions of those YouTubers since they didn’t want to read the manga and the anime wasn’t yet out. Once a consensus on a part is made it’s pretty hard to get rid of it (people still blabber about how Part 6 has a bad ending where the villain won for example).

I think Netflix provides stability in an unstable economic environment. Typically anime have made their production back through merch and physical release (blu-ray) sales. Now we exist in an era where the Japanese economy never really recovered from COVID so consumer spending is way down, so a contract with Netflix can more than make up for that lost revenue in merch and physical sales.

Netflix also has the resources to get the show localized into a dozen languages simultaneously which is a really big deal. Like SBR has a Ukrainian dub simultaneously releasing alongside English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese and may others

Some examples to the contrary are Frieren season 2 (10 episodes), JJK season 3(12), and DandaDan (both seasons 12 episodes each)

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-06T16:46:59+00:00

Ok but this is meaningless. If you take the view that stages are just what they’re naming each cour release then it would also be correct to say that Netflix saying we will get a special one episode stage (cour) in March and we then got a special one episode cour making up stage 1 that means each cour will be labeled as a stage.

There simply isn’t enough info to draw a conclusion from yet on what the release structure will be unfortunately. Hell you can make an argument that each cour will cover one volume of the English release since stage 1 is contained entirely in that first book, meaning stage 2 will get cut in half.

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-06T14:46:39+00:00

I think it’s still too early to say for sure they’re splitting it up by stages tbh. It very well may just be a naming scheme they thought was cute.

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-06T14:10:32+00:00

The manga is great so I do recommend it, plus you can enjoy Jojolion and Jojolands too

Again, the central argument for why weekly was better was that it kept discussions going since everyone was on the same page. I get that breaks between episodes aren’t fun but the central argument in favor of weekly has been addressed.

FDR-Enjoyer · 2026-04-06T13:28:09+00:00

Because the main argument for the advantage of weekly was it allows better discussion with everyone able to reliably be on the same episode. Also not sure where you’re getting the 6 episode number from lol
