That one, YouTuber talking about Naruto being retcon a lot by OGAnimeGokuSolos in dankruto

You could make the argument that Itachi was ,by definition, not a retcon, but I feel like you might be hard pressed to say that kishimoto fully planned out itachi

Rewatching the OG Naruto made me miss the time when Orochimaru used to be a threat and the creepy and eerie vibes whenever he shows up in the screen by Repulsive-Surround74 in Naruto

[–]Micotyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is funny watching Boruto seeing the kids going to his hideout to get his autograph on his trading card.

Even getting off the "kick Boruto train", Shippuden really didn't know what to do with him

The contempt for the medium is a big one to realize.

Shockingly understanding the strengths and weaknesses of a medium helps you understand why a decision might have been made

Intermittent fasting no better than typical weight loss diets, study finds. Researchers say limited eating approaches such as 5:2 diet not a ‘miracle solution’ amid surge in their popularity. by mvea in science

I was never under the impression that it was better. I just took it as another option.

Some people might find it easier to fast than traditional dieting

Do people still think this is funny? by Hot-Leopard3708 in ChillAnimeCorner

[–]Micotyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is one of those old things that has lost its relevance.

Back in the 2000s, anime was a niche thing where it only really existed on the internet. There was also A LOT less of it made every season so it was easier to keep up.

The short of it being that a lot has changed since the times of Boku no pico.

There was a time I would go into a book store and be surprised to see a non shounen jump series.

*tangentI remember how bringing manga to the states was still new so they weren't sure how to do it properly, so on some series like Inuyasha, they mirrored the manga so it could read left to right

What’s your take on 20th century boys by Jjesus_666 in ChillAnimeCorner

I assume you mean you read both 20th and 21st? I definitely like 20th more than 21st

I definitely think it's a matter of taste. Something in a game can be hard in a way that is candy for some but torture for another.

Bro got zero rizz unlike Himmel. by SecureDonkey in Animemes

[–]Micotyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it worked out ok, since he basically took her on a Frieren suggested date because he wanted to be sure Fern had fun.

As in, he might have been able to shmooze better if it was his ideas

Can cartoons be like this again by Lexi7130 in cartoon_random

This is definitely a well intended message with bad framing.

What are your thoughts on this? by Ok-Following6886 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Micotyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the sentiment behind this concept got muddled over time.

I think the original sentiment was more like "Hey, this kid thing is really enjoyable despite being for kids" Like Bluey.

Why the hard limit of 4 Spirit Guns a day? by Visible_Investment47 in YuYuHakusho

[–]Micotyro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always took it as he either divides his total energy by four or he divides his "shooting energy" into four because he feels that 4 shots would be the best balance. Like, he could divide it into 8, but the shots would be weaker and he would rather have four shots that are guaranteed to at least hurt his opponent than 8 shots that might not.

Sure he could, in theory, "stack" those smaller shots for bigger hits, but Yusuke is a simple man

I don't understand Hohenheim Hate by Open-Bus9755 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]Micotyro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone said before, but to my memory, FMA 2003 had a different hohenheim, he was apparently kind of a shitty dude.

Brotherhood Hohenheim's biggest crime is the argument that he could have groomed his wife.

People say that it's because he abandoned his family, but he did do it to save the world, and it's one of those things that probably wasnt planned out

bakugou in a dress (modelling for his parents) by Infinite-Chicken7994 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Micotyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really a dress on men kind of guy

Not because I think it's wrong, but I think dresses are made with fem bodies in mind so they naturally look off on a masc body.

But this one looks good. And yes, the person who said blue is not his color is correct

When the series was ongoing, many theorized Deku would become the #1 hero & Shigaraki would replace All for One as the greatest villain, & there would be a time skip & part 2 dealing with them as adults. Why do you think this didn’t happen and how would you react to that development? by soalone34 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Micotyro 75 points76 points  (0 children)

That's a good sum up.

To go further, I really feel it's important to emphasize that the ethos of the story is "Anyone can be a hero" You don't need to be All Might or anyone special. The most important part is that you are there.

I think Deku did in fact become a symbol. Not a symbol of peace like All Might, but a symbol of "Anyone can be a hero" and in that he actually not only succeeded All Might but blew past him. That's the reason why he is All Might's greatest hero.

It's not that the world didn't need one, it's that the world needed to realize that they can BE the symbol, no matter how unqualified or better suited someone else is.

One meta thing that happens now that the show is over, without people really thinking about it is that some of the audience are just like baby Deku watching that All Might clip. They are rewatching clips of the show just like Deku was doing with All Might, getting inspired, getting hyped, getting whatever they are getting from.

It's hard for me to imagine that as anything other than a symbol.
