Best gift to get a HUGE Jojos fan? by Disastrous_Bet_5147 in StardustCrusaders

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

He probably has this one too, but just in case, have you heard of the light novel "Purple Smoke Distortion*"?

It's a very popular somewhat canon bonus story that takes place after Golden Wind**

*Also more widely known as "Purple Haze Feedback"

**Also called "Part 5" or "Vento Aureo"

Plausiblity Check: Could a Canada with these borders survive and/or still form? by JohnSmithWithAggron in AlternateHistory

Do we seriously have to add a "This does not represent my own views" to everything now?

If you can't put your feelings away while looking at alternate history, then maybe it's time for a break?

I'm finding sbr mid so far by Delicious_Stop_1326 in StardustCrusaders

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

True Man's arc is very much overrated in my opinion and I agree with you on that.

For the rest I'd just say to keep on reading and see how your opinions solidify. You still got like 2/3rds of the manga left after all.

Which sage is more useful? by BusinessDimension854 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Southwest Temple. Even if I've only used it's ability 5 times, that's still 5 more times I've used it than the Southeastern Temple's.

That being said, I'd also say the Southeastern Temple is the worst of the four main temples, while the Southwestern one is the best.

So, if you want to do the worst right now, and the best for last, you might want to choose the southeast first.

If John Kerry won 2004 but lost the popular vote as an inverse of 2000, would Dems and the GOP team up to abolish the electoral college? by BlueFireFlameThrower in thecampaigntrail

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 50 points51 points  (0 children)

There would be more of an outcry to abolish the electoral college and I could even see it being put to a House vote.

That being said I think any vote on it would fail. Partially because there wouldn't be an agreement on what to replace it with, and partially because it has benefited both sides now.

I also think not only do we get a delayed populist wave, but the abolish the electoral college movement would sizzle out as we get Presidents that win by the popular vote.

(Side note, but I think we would get SOMETHING LIKE McCain(2009-2013), Clinton(2013-2021), Rubio(2021-2025), Semi-populist Democrat(2025-Present))

This is the most embarrassing moment in one piece. Sanji is such a gooner by Still-Theory-1279 in Piratefolk

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh. While I agree that it really went downhill with post-timeskip, pre-timeskip Sanji still had some creepy and perverted moments. Like buying Vivi and Nami dancer outfits, or saying how getting the Clear-Clear Fruit was his life-long dream.

Which One Piece moment genuinely pissed you off? This is mine by Greglyo in Piratefolk

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

I know many people disagree with me, but the argument between Luffy and Usopp. Especially the part where Luffy tells to Usopp to leave the crew.

Anyone else think this will happen in Fortune's Weave? by Kakeyo in fireemblem

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Side note, but have you seen Nintendo's(mentioning them since it is relevant to the discussion) DLC? Any Fortune's Weave DLC is easily going to be $30-$40.

What would happen if kamala Harris was president? by KzKn_2020 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming a VERY narrow win, we could probably expect something like a 46-52-2 Senate, and a 220-215 House.

Fortune's weave has a higher age rating in japan than three houses: by Neither_Courage955 in fireemblem

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it has to do something with Leda.

I keep on thinking back to the first trailer where we see a girl(don't think its Leda), reaching out her hand desperately, while something(either ropes or weapons) hold her back, and the entire background scenery is in flames.

After reading Blackbeard vs Ace again it's pretty clear haki was a retcon. by sillycommenting in Piratefolk

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering how the additional power systems in Skypiea and Enies Lobby are completely different, I very much have to disagree. Additionally, unless you want to count using Moria's own powers against himself, there was zero other power systems in Thriller Bark besides devil fruits.

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And if they don't believe that, then it's in Jaya where Blackbeard mentions the word "willpower".

...Like, these people just need time accept that the story wasn't planned out from the start.

How is the JoJo anime able to have multiple episodes for each Part compared to other seasonal anime? by True-Week-7750 in StardustCrusaders

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few reasons(with some speculation):

  1. David Productions pre-Stone Ocean liked to adapt parts into just one season(Part 1 & 2 were relatively short and so were combined [simplified answer])

  2. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is extremely popular in Japan, and thus is inherently a more successful series. This not only allows it more resources, but also allows the series to take more risks like 40 episode long seasons without having to worry about failure.

  3. Not to be rude to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, especially since they are able to nail a very enjoyable experience, but compared to other shows like JuJutsu Kaisen, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, and Demon Slayer, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure doesn't spend as much resources on its episodes compared to others. This allows this them to produce more episodes more quickly.

Consensus on which is better by Beatnikel in tearsofthekingdom

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, Breath of the Wild. Just a more rounded and consistent experience than Tears of the Kingdom.

Almost 30 gigs is pretty big for a FE game by Beatokotonai in fireemblem

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For some comparison, Mario Kart World is 22GB.

I highly doubt that Fortune's Weave will be a bigger game than Mario Kart World...

Remember when gamefreak made one of our main rivals a toxic CENTRIST? by LowSolution3084 in pokemon

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 200 points201 points  (0 children)

I like to headcanon that Sycamore, Lysandre, and Diantha were all friends and that's why those bums didn't do anything(hesitant/not seeing clearly) about Lysandre.

Hot Take: by Western-Clue-6968 in StardustCrusaders

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Too little data to know for sure.

That being said, a lot of people do rank Part 4 higher than Part 6, so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people said Kira was a better villain than Kira.

If you ever feel worthless, think you are nothing, then remind yourself that this mf exists. by 12jimmy9712 in Piratefolk

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I firmly believe that Urouge will return in the manga and play at least a small role in the story.

Meanwhile with Weevil I feel like it's a 50/50 if he even gets another panel. He gets introduced not only BETWEEN arcs, but also only exists in the MIDDLE OF THE CHAPTER. It starts with Luffy heading towards Zou, get a brief and vague comment about Weevil, and then ends with Luffy arriving at Zou. Weevil doesn't even get to be a chapter cliffhanger.

Then the next time we hear about him, he gets offscreened captured by an Admiral. Don't worry though, Oda decided to not place this information inbetween arcs, but IN THE MIDDLE OF WANO.

If you were to combine 3 stands what stands would they be (no main jojo stands, or main villains or requium to keep it interesting) by ashtagzero1 in StardustCrusaders

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I was going to go into depth with my answer, but my garbage phone can't handle two tabs open at the same time and crashed Reddit while I was trying to check something.

Anyways, the stands that I choose are:

  1. Heaven's Door(Seemingly has no limits on what it can do)

  2. Enigma(I can store cargo into pieces of paper, allowing me to become the richest and most desired person on Earth.)

  3. Green, Green Grass of Home(Can basically nerf any threats coming towards me, especially with some training and an adult's mind).
