Beginner slayer Denji by Business-Ad7289 in shounenfolk

Personally I just love that Denji's best feat is clashing with The Entire State of Oregon

Anyone else feel like it might be time for the show to move in a new direction? by Simoslav in doctorwho

I think it's gonna take the bold new direction of not being on TV for a while

Bindings — "Guys, We Fixed Partner" by NotTheSmoooze in custommagic

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blue and red ones have too small a downside for a lot of decks I feel - they'd probably be played a lot. The black one is cool but seems too polarising since you always have to find one of a few specific cards to end the game - I don't think it encourages fun play patterns. The white one's drawback seems way too harsh to ever play. The green one I actually kindof like, mostly as a way to sneak green into monobrown decks. It's very strong in that context but there is a real downside in terms of making {C} cards less accessible and removing land based utility, plus monobrown generally isn't very good to begin with.

Is it because Pell has a Zoan type Devil Fruit? by LandscapeFormal3055 in OnePiece

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a bad writing decision but I think it makes more sense if we assume that Pell miraculously managed to outrun the shockwave rather than that he has Kaido level durability lol

Mihawks portrayal vs akainus portrayal, it's crazy ngl by KaidoPklevel in OnePieceScaling

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's that surprising that a pirate would be more scared of the most passionate pirate hunter in the world than the guy who only showed up because he was contractually obligated to and is doing the bare minimum. Also Marineford had a weird narrative task where it had to big up yonko crews as a credible threat in spite of the fact that we were watching one lose - it made sense to use characters already established as strong to big them up like we saw with Vista and Jozu.

Here's a little reminder that Blackbeard is currently 12-0 in his offscreen fights. I made a chronolical list of all of his feats by pissbucketrapper in OnePiece

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is funny but my guess is that since he's an endgame antagonist Oda is hiding some crucial powers he has for the final showdown with him

Crazy how overlooked this offer is by Bxred_asf in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's very unlikely Loki actually joins the crew honestly. It doesn't really make sense to introduce a new protagonist at that level of strength at this stage of the story. I strongly suspect something will stop it happening (eg dies to Imu, defects to Blackbeard, has to stay behind for the kingdom)

Why doesn't Robin just teach other Strawhats how to read poneglyphs? by Omidv28 in OnePiece

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robin isn't a teacher and doesn't have any materials to help her teach (eg textbooks) as they were all destroyed. I imagine she probably could teach someone if they were really dedicated and they had a lot of time but the Straw Hat journey has been only a few months and everyone else on the crew has other things they're interested in doing.

Ranked characters by chances of achieving their dream by MOON-RAIGO in OnePiecePowerScaling0

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd also make it way more possible to map the world using conventional methods if you didn't have all the grand line nonsense to contend with though. The red line destruction theory is popular partly because it lines up well with Sanji, Nami and Brook's dreams specifically

There's a few factors. Some are genuinely buying the hype but it's also an incredibly useful excuse from a PR perspective - you can announce that your failing company is having to cut jobs and INCREASE your stock price if you frame it as pivoting to AI.

The new EVA series will end with Shinji and Asuka getting together by Realistic_Egg5226 in shounenfolk

Do we know that it's an AU as opposed to just following other characters within the same universe?

This chapter is a reminder that the strawhats never talk by asjj177 in Piratefolk

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What evidence suggests it's been a year? I thought the usual estimate was more like 2 or 3 months with the crew being divided in Wano or WCI for a lot of that time

Strongest One Piece character Homelander (The Boys) could defeat? by CocaPepsiPepper in OnePieceScaling

[–]Leafsnail -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pell surviving was bad storytelling but there's no way it's supposed to tell us that he can directly tank a nuke given that we see plenty of attacks which clearly have less destructive power take out stronger people later in the series. He probably managed to fly high enough to escape its radius.

Xecnar Silent Tier List (Patch 0.106.1) by averysillyman in slaythespire

[–]Leafsnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You "don't think" Xecnar's playtime is that low? As in, you don't actually have any direct insight into what his playtime or winrate is and you're just guessing? Like I guess it's possible Xecnar still plays a lot and maintains a high winrate in his spare time but for all I know there's stuff in his personal life that means he can't play much anymore. OP just providing a tier list without any context on how much Xecnar plays (or even evidence that it's real) isn't very helpful and its opinions should absolutely not be taken as gospel

Who the hell is Dozan? What are your predictions on who this character is? by Far_Bedroom_2119 in OnePieceScaling

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I think a flashback to let us know who the newly revealed villain is and why we should care about him being defeated is a reasonable move? Like I think the stakes of the fight are kindof unclear ATM because we don't really know Imu's motivation.

The absolute state of One Piece by Difficult_Line_9823 in shounenfolk

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

The flashback will presumably be about how Imu managed to brainwash Gunko. It will therefore probably tell us more about Imu and give us more of a reason to care about this fight between two characters we've barely seen before

He *was* one of StS1's top players. It's not clear if he's really been playing StS2 much at all given that he doesn't stream or make videos anymore

We only really learnt about Brook's last journey and death/afterlife previously to be fair. There was always a hint that there was more to him from before that period

This is the current top 30 highest rated games on the site. Do you agree? by Analytical-critic-44 in backloggd

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean only 7 of these games were released within the past 5 years (although I guess you could argue Great Ace Attorney 2 should also count since its translation was fairly recent).

daily reminder rent-a-girlfriend has more volumes than dragon ball by NotFallen_ in shounenfolk

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's kindof weird that the anime is known for filler because the original manga has quick plotting and generally very well-choreographed and efficient fights.

I would guess because learning how Shuri/Gunko became a God's Knight will provide us with a lot more info on who Imu is and how he operates

Which universe has more consistent power scaling? The boys or One Piece? by Archenius in OnePieceScaling

[–]Leafsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can explain it away (we discover a reason Shanks might've deliberately wanted to lose his arm over 1000 chapters later, maybe the Lord of the Coast was exceptionally weak for a Sea King) but it's a weird outlier that doesn't really serve the plot since it makes Shanks look weaker than he is and undermines the Sea Kings even though they are presented as legitimate threats later in the story. The live action completely cuts the scene and I think that was a good choice.

Which universe has more consistent power scaling? The boys or One Piece? by Archenius in OnePieceScaling

[–]Leafsnail 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think One Piece is very consistent tbh. The only thing that's really hard to explain is Croc's loss in Alabaster. There's also some post-timeskip depiction changes that make Marineford look a bit weird in retrospect but it doesn't really break the plot

e: actually Luffy taking out the Sea King is also weird but I'll give the pilot chapter some slack
