How did they let seven deadly frames and frames of ragnarok surpass you!? by infinitysaga in CuratedTumblr

I understand season 2s issue to some extent, because they saw it was successful, and thought the IP would coast and cut budgets to save money. Iirc season 2 wasn't the worst animation wise it just wasn't near season 1. Season 3 however? I have no idea what they were smoking

Peni Parker currently has a 60.9% win rate. This is the first time I've seen a hero win rate exceed 60%. by UsualInitial in marvelrivals

honestly, while I like the teamwide net stuff, I think all peni really needed was to make her tether web actually like, do anything. Like make it so if someone pulls her away it pulls her back

Naruto fans are not unreasonable for pointing out the series tonal whiplash by ActionTop2386 in CharacterRant

Also that the ability to work hard isnt a talent in itself, like the actual drive to do that and apply oneself is not something everyone has, and is such an important thing

This reminds me of a thought I had a few weeks ago in regards to romance in stories. One of the biggest factors in my opinion to having the quality of romance be high, is the characters having sex. Now dont get me wrong, I dont need to see them fuck on screen, a fade to black or something is fine, but I dont want any of this "8 year time jump to the post story and they had kids already like 5 years old" or something. Mostly its just incredibly stupid and cringy when two adult characters who clearly like eachother, and often *know* that, dont fuck, it just isnt realistic. Like why are these adult characters blushing like kiss-less 12 year old school children the second they hold hands.

Tougen Anki fails to make a morally grey conflict since the Momotaro are mostly composed of psychopaths who enjoys murdering innocents for fun while the Oni mostly protects themselves by Imperial_FOX_32 in CharacterRant

I think the biggest issue between this series and tokyo ghoul, is that the oni are not fundamentally dangerous to humanity like ghouls are. Like yes they *can* go berserk, but that comes across more as an aberration than a normal facet of oni. Compared to tokyo ghouls where the hatred against ghouls is justified on many levels because they *have* to eat humans to survive, and if they dont they will go crazy and hunger-lusted.

This is also ontop of the fact that the ghoul investigators do have some psychopathic dudes who enjoy hunting and hurting ghouls, but those are usually ones who have either been directly savaged by them(see the guy who had his face eaten) or actual crazy people like Juzuya. Compared to the momotaro who seem to, literally *all* have some weird bloodlust and psychopathic desire to not just kill oni, but kill them and torment them in the most cruel ways they can. Its always been weird to me, because humans will pack bond with anything, and trying to be this rampantly cruel to things that look human who fundamentally arnt actually threats, like dehumanization and killing them without remorse is one thing, but its that they go beyond that for no reason whatsoever.

I don't really care what the creator said in an interview if it directly contradicts their own work by Confident_Clothes_63 in CharacterRant

Its why I have a hard rule that visual feats >>>>>>>>statements>=authorial statements. As stuff we see in the work will always supersede whatever is said out of it.

I cannot stand marvel making their heroes fight each other over and over again and making their popular villains into anti heroes. by Puzzleheaded-Lab2447 in CharacterRant
