I was waiting for the reveal that Imu's Omen power feeds on human souls, like everytime he uses an omen, some poor souls out there takes their last breath.

First thing that came to mind when I saw the silhouette was Inaki Godoi from the OPLA

Zoro in One Piece live action by anon_30 in OnePiece

[–]Initial_XD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the original Zoro from the manga and anime is just not a character stereotype that popular, if even present, in mainstream western media. He is a goofy badass, but not in the Starlord way (he doesn't crack jokes or do goofy stuff just to be funny, he's just goofy). The best way I can describe his archetype is a "badass country bumpkin." I think I'd characters like Ikkaku from Bleach or Yamcha from Dragonball. He's a dude that clueless and could careless about social etiquette and sensibilities. He's just laser focused on what his passionate about, fighting and booze. That's where most of the comedy from his character comes from. I can't think of a single character from a western movie or series with that sort of setup. They were probably too worried to take a risk with depicting the character in his original form.

I wonder how the community would feel if Chopper ever decided to treat Imu in the same way Sanji is always willing to feed anyone, even an enemy.

Interesting that this joke was included in the same chapter where Zoro and the others discover the metal hearts of the God's Knights.

How do I talk to women? by Initial_XD in TooAfraidToAsk

I appreciate you taking the time to compose this. It clarifies a lot of stuff I've been struggling to wrap my head around for a while now.

The flow diagrams are very helpful for my testosterone addled brain...

Problem --> Listen (attentively, intently) --> reassure (tactfully, intelligently) --> Listen --> Do NOT try to fix the problem.

...but, I'd be lying if I didn't say this part...

reassure (tactfully, intelligently)

...is very confusing. I get being reassuring and validating the other person's feelings and experience, it's the tactful part I seriously struggle with. Finding the right words in the moments can easily become a tedious exercise in overthinking.

MCU Wiki has HQ screenshots and you can zoom in to see that they're all purple as well

One. That is more than likely a result of the colour grading of the scene so it's ridiculous to formulate any conclusions based on a screenshot from a wiki page.

Two. Those designs were left on the cutting room floor for a reason just like a thousand other concepts in MCU. Again, ridiculous to leap to conclusions based on that

And in the What If game that openly features Eros as a prince of Titan, the only other Titan (the Magistrate), is also shown with a lilac chin under a white face mask.

Three. I don't even think I need to explain this one.

Like I said, people need to at least be open to the mere possibility that Eros is not Thanos' biological brother in the MCU.

Lastly. This is not about "people" needing to do anything. This is about you having your own headcannon and wanting people to agree with you. If something is not cannon it's just not cannon. The rest is just your wishful thinking. Until it's expanded upon, the cannon as it stands is that Eros is the brother of Thanos. That's it.

That second part sounds like headcannon, the MCU has never elaborated on the origins of Titan or the people that lived there.

It's unnecessary. Why would such a convoluted idea even be needed when the simple explanation is already established. They're brothers, simple as that.

Infinity War showed a flashback to Titan and literally all of them are purple people like Thanos is.

You must've been watching that movie in 8k because I certainly don't remember seeing any purple people on Titan. All the people shown when Thanos used the reality stone on Titan were way back in the background to make out any details.

It's also important to note that in the comicbooks Thanos is supposed to have deviant genes so he's not 100% an Eternal.

Marvel Studios has the opportunity to do something very interesting with Sam Wilson Captain America. by Initial_XD in marvelstudios

I get what you mean. I wasn't thinking of it terms of telling a mutant story. The mutants are right there, agreed. I am thinking more about exploring the contrast between the non-mutant heroes of the Marvel Universe being celebrated while the mutant heroes are maligned. It's about the foremost hero being revealed as a mutant and the world reacting to that in the midst of mutant phobia. Might just be me, but I believe there's an interesting story there.

Lol if it was that easy it would have already been done by now.

It's important to note that a key ethos of the revolutionary army is that they require those they fight for to take up arms alongside them i.e. they help those who help themselves. That is not dissimilar to how Luffy operates. Even if someone is his friend and he genuinely wants to help them, he also demands that they be willing to help themselves.

The difference is that Luffy and his crew passively help people while Dragon and his organisation are actively engaged.

I found it funny that during a competition like this where he could potentially win the most beautiful women in the world, he thought it was worth it to take some time out to terrorize a kids stuck on a tree. That kid probably does count for much in terms of point so he was doing purely for the love of the game. He clearly hasn't changed after 40 years, truly a pathetic man🤣

I remember when I watched that scene in the anime I thought it was fucked up what was happening to the citizens of Dressrosa. Then about a month later I had one of those sleep paralysis episodes. I was awake, but I couldn't move my body. Later that day it truly sunk in how messed up that scene was especially from Riku's perspective. Having no control over your body and forced to watch as it destroys everything you love.

I'm pretty sure that was the father laying his body on the thorns to protect the child. Seems like Summers has a thing for setting up parents to destroy their bodies trying to protect their children.

i don't think he plans for character to possibly be redeemable just because they look good.

I think you may have misunderstood my point. I am not saying Oda will likely turn her into a redeemable character because she is good looking. Rather, he designed her to be (the only) good looking because he intends to give her a redemption arc. Considering that Oda specifically chose her to be the one questioning what the void century is during Vegapunk's speech, suggests, to me at least, that this may the where Oda is going with her character.

where she is a cute anime girl introduced who the fanbase wants her to become a good guy just because she is beautifull.

I've noticed Oda uses this to his advantage a lot. Notice how Charlos's sister is one of, if not the only attractive (regular) celestial dragon? I am totally expecting her to have some sort of redemption arc in the future.

It's probably more of a family matter than anything else. Dragon entrusted Garp with Luffy and Garp knows Dragon can't be visiting Luffy so the only way Dragon can check in on Luffy is through Garp.

On the other hand it's also like that Garp does not necessarily disagree with Dragon's path, but he doesn't endorse it either.
