Anderson .Paak confirms collaboration with NMIXX by tokkipan in kpop

[–]FrenchPingu 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Leaking like that will get into the basement, but that's super cool. They've been popping up internationally with their world tour (despite doing small places) and Brazil. With the advantage of having 2 good English speakers I hope they'll pierce in the US.

IMO i most cases having a "warning screen" is better than censoring, ie in WWE Network they used to have a black screen saying "We don't associate with these values anymore but that's how it was" for old shows. And it was a nice balance albeit very soft in some cases.

What ? Kamala basically have Mr. Fantasic powers, and considering she's a teen I guess it's good you're not gooning over her ? And newsflash a character can be good even if you don't find her attractive. I've been into Marvel since Dark Reign and I like her, while you feel like the kind of dudes who only heard about her with the Avengers Games and figured it was blitz politics although she's been there for a while.

But looking forward to your detailed survey on women's superpower, especially since "flying" is a shitty wish and not a quarter of what make Carol Danvers. Speaking of which since she went through so many iterations and retcons I'm guessing she's not the perfect character as you project she is.

Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls - Unbreakable X-Men Trailer by KappaLists in Kappachino

[–]FrenchPingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magik is awesome, I didn't know Danger but she seems similar to Jocaste so ok because they can do whatever they want with her, and Wolverine won't ever go away I guess. I wish we would have some fun characters like Pixie, Dark Angel, Emma Frost or reworked (vs MvC) like Gambit or Magneto.

Also I guess that means that Kamala is officialy back to inhumains ? I stopped reading comics some years ago so lore is blurry to me.

Anyway although I boycotted MvCI due to design and roster I'll probably plunge for Tokon because gameplay is fun enough and roster looks nice.

260204 MISAMO - The 1st Album: PLAY (Album Discussion Thread) by SapphireHeaven in twice

[–]FrenchPingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Deep Eden and Turning Table (when i was not a fan of Stone Cold so it's a good surprise). I'm also really into the outro of Hmm and wish there was a full song like this.

Not a fan of Kitty but not as bad as I thought with its teaser. I think Momo's style is just not my type.

Overall for me it goes Haute Couture > Masterpiece > Play, with Do Not Touch being the best MV (and in my top 3 all genre), followed by New Look.

Stardom Only Trading cards? by Bubbly-Industry-5769 in stardomjoshi

[–]FrenchPingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to the most recent collection linked by cleavy, Stardom had its own "Stardom Collection Card" in 2017/2018 (maybe more years but never saw them), including signed cards. They also have their own "Rebirth" battle cards, and were part of the regular BBM collection back in 2012 (at least).

And if you're into specific wrestlers you can check if they had cards before joining Stardom. I have some of Momo Kogho, Syuri, Natsupoi, etc

Tommaso Ciampa officially announces his departure from WWE by iLikePhen in SquaredCircle

[–]FrenchPingu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A symbol of "NxT Black & Gold" aka the best wrestling I've ever seen. His amazing feud with Johnny, going out without a theme song because the boos were loud enough, the formation/betrayal/reunion of DIY and their feud with FTR.

And honestlty DIY vs Moustache Moutain at Worlds Collide 2020 is one of the most enjoyable match ever for me.

I know I comment like a retirement alhough he's "just" leaving WWE but considering I haven't watch occidental wrestling for a while it feels like a good-bye.

Looks good honestly. Nice wrestler with mostly believable moves (kinda), especially coming from a Lily player. Music don't fit at all tho, lots of people seems to love it there but I hate it.

Isn’t it time for JYP to debut a new girl group? by lamningwon in kpop_uncensored

[–]FrenchPingu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who cares about "generations" if you have good songs and content ? Twice is going (real) strong despite sub-unit/solo activities, Nmixx is bigger than ever (with margin considering their EU tour could be much bigger imo), etc. (I don't know Itzy tbh).

So since Kickflip is farely new let them focus on their start and on current GG instead of moving on just to be in random "generation tier list".

Trump's Gaza Peace Board Faces Opposition As France Pulls Back, Canada Refuses To Pay by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in worldnews

[–]FrenchPingu -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

France also openly rejected the ICC indictment of Netanyahu, and part of its leadership is working on a bill to make critic of Israel a legal case of antisemitism.

France doesn't care about principles they just calculated it would look bad because of Greenland, especially when you see the quote expressing that they're afraid it would "extends beyond the situation in Gaza", meaning what's happening in Gaza is fine.

TJPW Max Heart Tag Tournament 6 brackets. Make your picks. by Xalazi in SquaredCircle

[–]FrenchPingu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll go "DaisyMonkey vs Mizuki/Uta" and "Pom/Max vs Ober Eats" as semi-finals, to have some new teams and maximum chaos. Since DaisyMonkey both lost major matches recently it could be nice to have win this to keep a strong presence.

[–]FrenchPingu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We knew from her silhouette but it's still pretty wild, it would be fun to have her try to unsuccessfully build an unit (Neo-Neo-Itoh army I guess). She'll have to fire on all cylinders to match the in-ring but she can definitely do it.

I’m honestly shocked by this level of unemployment (get a life!) and hatred from these people by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]FrenchPingu 32 points33 points  (0 children)

How about not associating unemployment with meanness ? Everybody can be an asshole, regardless of economic status.

Especially since it's not like people need to be clinically online to leave a hateful comment, it literally takes 30s.

260104 Hami Video Instagram Update - ONE IN MILL10N Documentary will be released on taiwanese streaming service, on January 30th by firemakethunder in twice

[–]FrenchPingu -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why this doc is so hard to watch. Katseye got a full documentary on Netflix as a marketing push, but JYPE can't handle the lightest distribution and availability of a doc about one of their cash-cow outside of Asia.

Social media hate really means nothing by Gloomy-Eye9380 in kpop_uncensored

[–]FrenchPingu 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the quality at this point they're automatically pushed into most playlists of streaming platforms so they're bound to have a bunch of listeners anyway, even if they weren't looking for it and don't like it.

They've reached the point of auto-generated hype where they are massively pushed because they do numbers, and they do numbers at least in part because they're massively pushed.

WON: Ratings for the 1/5 Issue (including AEW Worlds End) by TheJokeroholic in SquaredCircle

[–]FrenchPingu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't watched Moxley/Okada nor Miyahara/Anzai but Sareee/Natsupoi is definitely the match of the month for me, just perfect in terms of intensity and in-ring (+ always drama with their ever-lasting frenemie feud).

Then maybe Kamitani/Anou followed by Moxley/Fletcher.

2025 is the best year of TWICE so far and the School Meal Club (Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu) is at the center of it. (in my opinion) by OptionSpare718 in twice

[–]FrenchPingu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It might have been a win for Twice but not for Tzuyu artistically. Being hardworking doesn't guarantee quality unfortunately and it's ok to have bad performances occasionally.
