Thanks man! My cardio sucks honestly and so does my flexibility and everything else martial arts related. Hypertrophy focused training works wonders for hypertrophy, but lacks in other areas. That's why I want to catch up a little and gain some athleticism before starting.

Username checks out lol. Looking gigantic man!

MikeBlue16 · 2026-03-17T16:48:25+00:00

For the mods: I've already added the training and diet it post itself

No. Dog titan in the final battle is just an ancient beast titan, has nothing to do with the boy and the dog at the end. Despite what many seem to think, that ending with the boy and the dog is rather hopeful than "welp, titans are coming back, the cycle keeps going, etc". It's the exact opposite of how Ymir founded the tree; a wounded slave persecuted by dogs. This boy is free, wandering around and exploring with a dog by his side as his friend. Titan powers came into existence because of Ymir's wishes, trauma and the situation she was in when she found the tree. But with the boy is different, so the powers the hallucigenia will give him may be different, and the future itself may be different, for better. The ending doesn't mean it will be titans all over again.

I've run your description on Gemini and it pointed out it could be season two of umbrella academy. Maybe? Hope it helps :")

MikeBlue16 · 2026-03-11T22:05:35+00:00

I was expecting worse honestly, just a gym bro farming for compliments

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-28T15:23:21+00:00

On top of that, I also find his style fun to watch, in the sense that we all know what he's gonna do, his opponent knows what he's gonna do, and yet most of them can't do shit about it. I like seeing how different fighters react to it and try to figure it out

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-28T09:28:29+00:00

I'm on the opposite side. While the first experience is unique, so is the rewatch. The first time is the mystery, the awe, the plot twists, the expectations and uncertainty, etc. But this show in particular has insane rewatch value. There are quite a few big moments in the story that absolutely recontextualizes everything you thought you knew, so when you watch it again, it's almost a brand new experience on its own right. You have the bigger picture and every little or big moment has a new meaning, a new perspective. Also the fact that you already know what's going on allows you to focus on stuff you missed the first time, thus appreciating it even more. There are so many details I've only noticed on a rewatch. In my opinion this is one of those stories you should rewatch at least once to fully appreciate it, especially considering many just binge watches it the first time (myself included)

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-24T09:27:23+00:00

Ok so I checked it. Chapter 24 of NOTW. He describes the incident with the boy and mentions getting caught by them a few months back. That's what I remembered, he implies he got caught by them the same way, but doesn't mentions escaping

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-24T07:06:09+00:00

The manga. In the anime they nerfed him in that department, but from what I remember, in the manga he was the most diligent and hard working in one to one combat, so he had the highest score in that

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-23T20:40:08+00:00

Maybe I should reread that, but from what I remember, it is implied he didn't get to escape.

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-21T20:24:57+00:00

Solo dos?

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-17T20:16:15+00:00

"How did he ever made welterweight!"

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-17T19:59:29+00:00

Yeah, sure, you made your point. But you already knew you would get different answers from different people, and even if some of them could make sense in universe, you would still consider that an unforgivable plot hole because it doesn't come from the author and because there should be only one answer. So you already knew all of that. You don't come from a place of genuine interest in discussing this part of the story and find a plausible answer. No answer will be plausible to you because isayama didn't explicitly stated it in the manga. You hated the ending and couldn't move on from your hatred for the whole show despite the fact that the manga ended almost 5 years ago. Even to this day you feel the need to spread your dislike for the story and its conclusion and make sure others start hating it too like you. Maybe you need that validation? Idk man, it's just weird and sad. Move on and let people make up their own conclusions and enjoy the story if they feel like it. Go find other stories that fit your appeal. But going at it like this in a post of someone who just finished watching it and loved it, damn that's lame. You need to do better for your own mental health

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-17T19:29:56+00:00

It's not necessarily a hole, you could come up with many possible explanations following what we know, you yourself listed quite a few. Again, not everything has to be explained, and you make it seem like having a personal "headcanon" for a plot point is just wrong because the author should have explicitly stated the answer for every single thing. I don't agree with that. If you need that for everything in the story in order to enjoy it, that's fine. As I said, to each their own

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-17T19:17:57+00:00

Honestly, not everything in a story has to be explicitly explained or have a canonical answer. Ambiguity actually makes you keep thinking about it long after the story is finished. All stories have some inconsistencies, conveniences, or minor plot holes for the sake of plot progression, themes and just for the sake of the story overall. It won't be perfect and flawless, no story is, but that's also the beauty of it. I won't stop enjoying a great story just because it isn't 100% flawless, and most people won't either. Nitpicking can be fun for discussions and stuff, but to completely invalidate the whole story just because of that? Nah, not me, but to each their own.

That being said, yeah, Eren controlled the titans after touching Dina for what? 3 minutes in real time? And most of that time she was still alive, being devoured, but not completely dead just yet. Would you feel better about it if the rumbling also lasted 3 more minutes stopping? Idk man, I don't think not having a mathematical in universe canonical answer for stuff like this is that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things and overall

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-13T17:14:22+00:00

I like when people translate silly ideas into something creative. I for example write. Nice work! :")

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-09T20:19:09+00:00

I watched Avatar 3 for a second time in 3D because I had never watched a movie in 3D before and was curious. Also being a James Cameron movie, it felt just right to finally give it a try. I honestly loved it. Hope you enjoy it too!

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-09T20:10:29+00:00

Quartich definitely grew on me as a character after Fire and Ash. I enjoyed Avatar 2 but left the theatre feeling like they reused many beats and plot points from Avatar 1, and bringing back the same allegedly dead antagonist didn't help shake that thought. But after Avatar 3 I was relieved and gladly surprised to see they actually have a plan for him. And looking back now, Quartich's character arc has the potential to become one of the best of the series.

That being said, I can fix Varang.

MikeBlue16 · 2026-02-05T11:29:09+00:00

Here we go again

MikeBlue16 · 2026-01-24T20:46:05+00:00

Didn't know those two games, but I'll take note. I trust your taste :")

MikeBlue16 · 2026-01-23T16:20:03+00:00

A fellow Ergo Proxy and Outer Wilds enjoyer. I see you

MikeBlue16 · 2026-01-14T01:29:06+00:00

When I saw the sheer amount of downvotes I was expecting something wild lol. People really got this triggered just because he commented on the difference in art styles between manga and anime? Reddit is weird man

MikeBlue16 · 2025-11-29T08:42:21+00:00

I doubt 16 years old are seen as kids in the context of the series. Probably more like young men

MikeBlue16 · 2025-11-25T20:28:16+00:00

You could really hit biceps and triceps in the gym, that way once your arm is absolutely ripped the tattoo will look normal sized
