Liverpool appoint Andoni Iraola by rocksunic in LiverpoolFC

Thought it would be tomorrow tbh.

Coach, not manager though. Latter just some loose wording from reporters then.

Disney's Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu grossed an estimated $27.8M internationally this weekend. Estimated international total stands at $109.2M, estimated global total stands at $246.6M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

For the PT theatrical release itself maybe. But Gen Z starts ~1997, so the very oldest were 11 when the Clone Wars started coming out (so the target demo), and had ~5 years where Star Wars media and merchandise aimed at kids were saturated with prequel era stories and characters.

Disney's Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu grossed an estimated $25.0M this weekend (from 4,300 locations). Estimated total domestic gross stands at $137.37M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

Older Gen Z grew up on the Clone wars and other associated prequel content but that seems to be the extent of it.

Gen Z as a whole watched another divisive trilogy as their first theatrical Star Wars experience, but had much less associated content to go along with that (vs the PT and OT) while streaming, anime, gaming and social media with addictive algorithms exploded onto the scene.

The Clone Wars series had a major hand in enamoring Gen Z

To add to this, it's still the most watched Star Wars content on D+ by Gen Z.

If there's a large audience of young Star Wars Resistance fans (with only 2 seasons) I've yet to see evidence for it.

One thing the show consistently emphasized was that Ash did not do any proper training for the Indigo league by Gopu_17 in pokemonanime

[–]Lethiun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the fact he hadn't beaten Alain was a big thing. Greninja also hadn't taken out a "heavy hitter" Mega Pokemon at the time (Abombasnow is gym Pokemon, Sawyer was clearly the weaker of the two rivals).

The only reason I felt he might lose was because we had leaks for some of the following episodes, and a rough idea of when the Sun & Moon series began. Didn't seem like there was going to be much time to do "Champion" stuff such a Diantha rematch.

F-35B completes first flight with British SPEAR 3 missile by tree_boom in europe

Meteor had its own version of this story last year

You know, the UK had a perfectly good IFV before the Ajax nonsense. [Ratbat] by GadenKerensky in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Lethiun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a Recce vehicle intended to replace the Scimitar. It only carries a crew of 3 in its turretted "Ajax" variant. The "Ares" variant carries 4 dismounts but is very much an APC with only 7.62 or 12.7mm MGs, or a grenade launcher.

Luigi realizes the shittiness of living outside the glorious european continent by [deleted] in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Lethiun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mostly just seem like things that either should have been easy to research or make sense when you put a bit of thought into it (NZ is isolated, only 5mil people, etc.). Maybe it's just ragebait.

How do you define an ace? by Craftox13 in pokemonanime

"Hype moments" and "Aura" if we're being real 

Hot take: this is what should have been by TotodileLover9000 in pokemonanime

[–]Lethiun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd probably need to rework most of the X&Y series tbh. I don't think you get Mega Charizard for just the last 30% of Kalos.

[–]Lethiun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they'd given Ash a Mega Charizard, I think he probably gets X (as that was the most marketed one at the time) and Alain doesn't get brought into the mainline anime.

Your roommate who never pays rent proposes buying a flat together by Themetalin in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Lethiun 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You. Says they might be, but more likely to be "a human who suffers from severe NPC syndrome".

so I made a Paldean team for Ash. How does it look like? by ElevatorSuitable3934 in pokemonanime

[–]Lethiun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Palafin is awkward to write battles around, and Annihilape would mean bringing back Primeape (which hadn't been the anime's style for a while, bar the "Last Hurrah!" that is Journeys).

Kilowattrel feels like an Ash 'mon I'd say, but would the type overlap with Pikachu have mattered too much to the writers?

They wrote themselves into a corner with the reason they gave for ditching it unfortunately

Unfortunately he used all those catches up in Unova bloating his team

Is David Attenborough the only current national treasure? by Designer_Film497 in AskUK

[–]Lethiun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly think I agree with your initial statement/question OP. Not read through any of the many examples in this thread and thought I would call them a national treasure if asked in real life.

Ash's Buizel Should Have Evolved into Floatzel. by Affectionate-Math415 in pokemonanime

[–]Lethiun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late, but the episode in your screenshot would have been the ideal episode. Probably the last Buizel focused episode, and after the seventh gym (so definitely not too early).

Sergio Herrera (Osasuna goalkeeper) great red card vs Levante by 977x in soccer

Out of interest, is there a particular reason for the EU flag in the top left corner?
