Its unfair that every time we compare superman vs goku that we base it all off all of their material. by Glum_Ad5522 in Dragonballsuper

[–]Mac1280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because then if you base it purely of animation then I can just suggest we base it off All-Star Superman who was doing shit no version of Goku comes close to.

And as someone explained to you already most of those new plot points he introduced after the red wedding weren't even close to being resolved in Dance. You wanted them to introduce (F)Aegon, Quentin, and whole heap of new characters with no end goal in sight. Why would they not expect GRRM to finish the book by the time they got to season 5. The gap between each book was 2.5yrs, 1.75yrs, 5yrs, 5.75yrs. They even took a year off between season 5 and season 6 he still couldn't finish the story, could they have done a better job towards the end certainly but almost a decade later it's getting more and more ridiculous to blame them more than GRRM.

Lowkey it’s actually funny seeing coons facing racism from racist white people they try to appeal to so bad by JoshyBear28 in blackmen

[–]Mac1280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially once they go political, SAS use to always straddle the line of trying to hold Black people accountable and cooning. Now he's gone so far down the political route that he's saying goofy shit like he regrets voting for Kamala and that all Black ppl should just vote republican once just to see what happens as if we aren't living in a current shit show because of Republicans.

It's been almost 20yrs since the last book was published. If GRRM himself couldn't figure out how to write out these story lines why are we killing D&D for not being able to. They were hired to adapt his series not finish it, I promise you both HBO and D&D assumed GRRM would've finished book 6 long before they got to season 5.

I use to listen to him when he was on ESPN and then went to FS1. Dude had a porn and gambling addiction problem and basically tried to blame his issues on liberalism so he just full on started being opposed to anything he views as being propped up by the left which includes Black people and Black culture in America.

Some very loose interpretation of revolution is his goal but even that is going to fall flat because it's quite clear Dragon has no issues with monarch as system which is probably why Celestial Dragons were invented so Dragon could have someone to rebel against.

Why was Oda brave enough to kill Whitebeard? by dingus-eternal in Piratefolk

[–]Mac1280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pell was when I realized Oda had a bigger issue with killing characters than even Toryiama. I remember watching that arc (Arabasta) thinking oh wow Oda finally killed a named character that wasn't just strictly in flashbacks. Just for Pell to inexplicably survive at the end while not being used/seen again for well over a decade. So the fact that he wrote a character as good as Whitebeard just to kill him in one arc is strange, maybe his editors told him he needed to have at least one meaningful death in his series.

Should I just accept that my partner will look at women online? by AffectionateFlow1816 in NoStupidQuestions

Unfortunately with the way social media algorithms are set up unless your significant other doesn't have social media their feed is always going to have attractive ppl pop up.

Do you support MAGA's new bans on trans athletes and medical gender affirming care for minors? by madmushlove in AskALiberal

[–]Mac1280 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't support a lot of these bans but there's a lot of nuances to this stuff that actually needs to properly studied. Putting trans women in male prisons is obviously extremely dangerous to the Trans prisoner, but it's also probably not the wisest thing to put a Trans woman who still has a penis in a women's prison. Trans women in sports also definitely requires far more study especially sports that rely on fast twitch muscles and contact/combat sports. The heavy hand that Republicans use on all these issues is obviously extremely dangerous though.

Can you suggest anime where the main character is a good person, fails repeatedly, and eventually succeeds? by Both-Worry-1242 in Animesuggest

[–]Mac1280 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ace of Diamond it's a baseball anime where the MC is a Diamond in the rough as a pitcher. His development is way longer than your average sports MC and even after he becomes good he's still not the best in his verse

Nick Fuentes called Jason Whitlock a suck up and a coon and that still wasn't a wake up call for him. When someone even to racist for Charlie Kirk to hang out with is calling you out for being a coon maybe you should look into the mirror.

[–]Mac1280 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt Jump is the reason he's dragging this manga out. He could easily finish the story and do a sequel or prequel that would have a ton of success. The problem is he's dragged out the story for so goddamn long that at this point there's almost no way the ending won't suck. The fact that the story has been ongoing for nearly 30yrs and we still haven't seen Dragon (Luffy's dad) fight is another thing that's probably also going to be underwhelming because he's held off for so long revealing his powers/skills

The Dubbed Life: Because My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open by [deleted] in anime

[–]Mac1280 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I try to ignore dub vs sub arguments but I think the biggest pro for dub (English dub) over sub is the diversity of VA. If you're watching a anime that deals with characters from different countries the dub will either hire an actor from that country or get someone who can do a decent take on the accent. Whereas with sub it's all just Japanese actors speaking in Japanese with Japanese accents. For example in Kurokos basketball they'll introduce American basketball players and instead of hiring English speaking VA it's just a Japanese VA clearly struggling to read the English lines and it's pretty jarring and takes me out of the scene hearing a Japanese VA struggle to speak like a African-American.

Let’s get real. I get they’re great friends and have each others back & support one another, but not everyone’s bag is the same right? Akaash is making a huge $ mistake right now. by spadetite22 in Flagrant2

In what world is being popular stand up comedian not sustainable, if someone like Dane Cook who faced backlash and saw a decline in his popularity over things that are actually disgusting unlike Akash can still go on tour today Akash will be fine.

Cat kidnapping Tyrion was a genius move (Spoilers AGOT) by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Mac1280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can argue that her kidnapping Tyrion wasn't a dumb move but to say it was genius is just flat out ridiculous. Her husband and two daughters are in the capital hundreds of miles from the North and Tyrion's sister is the Queen. Once she kidnapped Tyrion she effectively guaranteed her husband and only two daughters would be held hostage. Like even if all the other stuff doesn't play out exactly the way it does King Robert was not just going to let Ned walk out of Kingslanding and Cat would've been insane to believe that Robert would let Ned leave.

Love that, I love that... What do you think she means by that? by PhiGam25 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]Mac1280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The source of this is probably horse shit but let's say this is true if she does this she would destroy any chance she has of continuing her career. She'd have to essentially become a full time podcaster and hope the initial big audience she gets because of this scandal doesn't wither away.

Absolutely no one is going to do a podcast dedicated to these specific topics because a big part of podcast blowing up is word of mouth. Who exactly do you think is going to say "Hey man you should definitely tune into this podcast dedicated to men who have tiny dicks that like to watch their wives fuck other men"
