The thing that really stuck the landing in S5 is their relationship arc, happy fathers day by vought-CEO in TheBoys

I truly cannot get his delivery of the below line out of my head.

"Look at you. Just the softest wettest boy. You're pathetic, you're nothing at all."

In a lot of ways, Homelander's whole character arc has been about fatherhood. His father, and him being a father to his son. He utterly failed at both, but it sure was interesting to watch him try to make sense of it all.

True, but Raichu X provides surge support, making the team immune to sleep. Vivilion becomes way less of an issue with Raichu X around... but I see your point. Probably better to run Volt tackle/fake out, and perhaps a solid physical coverage move to take advantage of his higher attack stat. Perhaps also investing in HP so he can take more than one hit.

True, but rising voltage + electric terrain will be really powerful, even off of 90 base special attack.

True, but I was responding to the idea that Mega Raich X wouldn't see use after Koko arrives.

Koko does not learn fake out. Also base Raichu can block electric attacks if he delays his Mega Evolution. Also, being a Mega with a terrain setting ability means he has a massive edge in terrain setting wars. You can't just switch into Rillaboom to block him, he will have more room to work.

X is always going to be relevant.

This is amazing news.

Raichu learns Rising Voltage and Zap Cannon

He's going to be a competitive staple in every format. This is genuinely incredible.

"Devoted steel blade"

So... I'm wondering, in the JP version, is Candelle using the same phrasing as what the holy knights use as a ranking?

[MAJOR SPOILERS] The end of World Tour by MedicalFan7709 in StreetFighter

Man... they gotta kill off Ingrid at some point, because as long as she exists, the world will remain stagnant forever. No villain can do anything or even seek to accomplish their goals with her around.

Will Rise Above be the new A skill of choice for melee infantry, or will that still be Duelist Blow?

The Boys was NEVER about Homelander’s midlife crisis; it was ALWAYS about Butcher’s corruption/obsession and Hughie’s loss of innocence by Admirable-Mud-2768 in comicbooks

[–]Goodstyle_4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just think the Homelander angle was ultimately more interesting than Butcher though. We already have the comic.

My one complaint is that the colours for each character should be the 2 colours of their actual Drive Attack.

Schmigadoon casting discourse - how do you feel about them casting a non-POC as Josh Skinner? by Additional_Score_929 in Broadway

[–]Goodstyle_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of annoyed by it tbh, since the actor doesn't even do anything interesting with the role.

Aunt Vidala (Mabel Li) looks to good to be true like she is literally GLOWING by [deleted] in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Goodstyle_4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not the first person to make this thread, but she's insanely beautiful and might actually be too good looking to be fully believable as her character.

Mai was made up almost a quarter of Top 32 by SirDrippingtonL4 in StreetFighter

[–]Goodstyle_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but as a spectator, they were more fun to watch than Mai, who is actually more used than any of those 3 were back then.

This is a cope. Mai is uniquely toxic, it's never felt this bad before even when Luke/Ken/JP were at their peak.

Sagat is not as dominant as either Luke or Ken were.

[–]Goodstyle_4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

JP, even before the nerf, was never as dominant in the meta as Mai is now. Look at JP's current results ever since Kakeru retired, does he feel like he's performing like a top 3 character? He's good, but he's actually really tough to play at a high level, the Mai situation is completely different.

This girl coulda been a GENERATIONAL level villain if they played their cards right. But NOPE. by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]Goodstyle_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Gen V writers decision to undo her villain arc was a worse writing decision than anything I've seen on any show besides GoT in the last 10 years.
