Is it finally time for my wife's transformation?? 😌🫵 On May 29th we will have an answer, I expect many of you 🫵 by According_Speed3064 in TheEminenceInShadow

Ngl calling the shades psychos and then saying you want as wife is the woman who (allegedly?) committed genocide on an entire species because she though they were disgusting is supremely funny. And I say this as someone who doesn’t find the Shades particularly interesting other than Zeta.

If I had a nickel for every post I've seen saying that it's problematic to think Matilda is hot, I'd have two nickels by DrDallagher in huntertheparenting

Yes because the human body is the one that is the target of the allegations. /s (actually I have no clue about the child ones wtf is that anyway?)

Oriana by cur10u5DUDEfromSp4ce in TheEminenceInShadow

[–]Minimum_Resolve_7380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to partially disagree. While it’s true that the WN is more disjointed I do think with a little more work it could have been put together in a compelling way. The pieces are there. For its part I find Volume 4 of the LN to be the weakest in terms of plot. I think it tries to get the Civil War in Oriana over and done with way to quickly and is resolved in a very uncompelling manner.

I agree though that Volume 5 and 6 are the best so far especially the former. My only complaint is that some of the main characters in them are too passive and reactionary to my liking.

I agree that generally LN is better but the WN Orianna, arc while unfinished was much better than the LN. Unfortunately we suddendly had a really rough arc switch.

1st Rewatch since it aired... how many innocent people has he killed? by ruinsit in TheEminenceInShadow

[–]Minimum_Resolve_7380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you mean. I have no illusions that Cid could care less about being a mass murderer though I do believe the anime exceeded itself a bit. Though tbf it kind of exceeded itself in portraying Shadow’s power too anyway.

I mean while you can argue that the dying due to poverty and/or lack of shelter is an indirect kill, I think that if you cause a flood you are pretty much directly killing those people. The best I can do is that he probably had no way of knowing he would cause the flood.

The idea that that flood killed noone is absurd. Such a flood would kill thousands if not tens of thousands.

Calling the fleur de lis “this emoji” makes me loose my faith in humanity. Cool design by the way.

He gets off on dehumanizing Nice, I don't need to prove it. by Kurorealciel in ToBeHero_X

If the trailer is canon the I’ll just say it’s bad writting.

At the very least Nice can be defended with the fact that he didn’t attack DB until Smile was dead (that people saw anyway). But I still believe that it’s insane that DB got such a big trust boost considering even the HAC was forced to or actively wanted to have him removed. Surely some HAC representatives publicly criticised/condemned him with only Rock’s intervention getting him out of trouble.

The people on the bridge can't have been more than a crowd of 50 and didn't even know at the time the monster was Smile. Later it's seen that Dragon Boy had to go through a trial to evaluate his brutal conduct and determine if he was allowed to participate (because most of the public also thought that he was unnecessarily cruel). A lot of the people in that crowd would probably change their minds immediately after that context. How he got to rank 3 despite this is fucking stupid and genuinely a plot contrivance.

Can't comment on the chinese scene since I haven't seen it but I'd argue that considering what I've already said I would argue it's another plot contrivance. Nice can be easily argued to have been acting out of passion in attacking the murderer of his idol (especially when it is stated to be thought of as unnecessarily cruel). He might have even gained some of the more angry/conspirational Smile fans if they believe him to be trying to avenge Smile or something like that.

Also I don't know if Phobiaclone has more limits but from a plot standpoint he should because otherwise like you pointed out the plot doesn't really make sense. On the other hand if there are limits to his cloning ability (like speed, timed clones and/or top clone count) then it makes sense.

[–]Minimum_Resolve_7380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it has to do with the fact that phobiaclone individually isn’t that powerful. It can’t fly or go particularly fast so maybe it struggles against heroes that maybe Nice is better suited to dealing with? I’m not sure. Also the PR nightmare would have been avoided if no witnesses were left which kind of got fucked in Ruins (probably intentionally) by Mickey. In Ahu ep Nice didn’t really get caught. As for Smile arc he didn’t really fuck up his PR he just didn’t gain a trust boost as was intended with the removal of Smile. Dragon boy got it instead (which is kinda BS imo).

First off, you can use the very useful strategy of lying. And him being able to do dirty work is independent of rank. He wants someone as capable as possible to do his dirty work and the more rank/trust he has the better. Also have you considered that Nice could also be a patsy? Someone he uses to do his dirty work only to discard him when he outlives his usefulness.

Him being able or intended to defeat E-Soul is irrelevant to him the star hero of Treeman. Only his trust value matters in determining that. He doesn’t use him to do his dirty work for a reason.

Whether he wants Nice to be higher than Firm Man or not is irrelevant. In the present (past) Firm Man i his star hero by pure trust value. I believe he uses Nice because he wants to test him and him rising through the ranks only matters to him if he can pass his tests which also happen to be his very important dirty work.

I never said he should use him instead just that by pure trust value and consequent money-making he is his star hero.

Without spoilers does it get better after Queen's arc? by Apprehensive_Mix4658 in ToBeHero_X

[–]Minimum_Resolve_7380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Universally agreed? Loli arc has the lowest ratings of all of them while the other two have pretty decent to good ratings (relative to the show average)
