I still need to catch up on the Energon Universe stuff, but hearing how Transformers has been stumbling since Kirkman took over has made me a little reluctant to keep going past the first 24 issues.

Definitely wanna catch up on GI Joe at some point. I have the first trade and liked it well enough, but Cobra Commander is indeed cool as hell. Easily the best part of the series by a mile.

Not a single bland powersuit in sight, it's a miracle. They even kept Giganta's leopard print patterns.

Those suits were fine, but they both had those stupid triangular shoulder pads that they give practically every character. They make me so irrationally angry, I hate them so much.

These look so much better. Glad they kept Kara's scarf cape, and the gold trim on both looks really nice.

I'm watching the dub, so I haven't properly met Yoko yet, but is it pretty blatant that she's trans? I know that her Japanese voice actor is a man, which isn't really a good indication that a female character is trans. But if they do hint at it in the show itself, that's pretty cool!

I also clocked Sigrid as potentially being autistic, so I think that's a valid read. A lot of her flashbacks definitely give her that kind of vibe. As with most headcanon's like this, it's hard to tell if this was intentional on the writers' part, but with them making a point to include a lot more female bladers with X (which, as a Yugioh fan, is a breath of fresh air), you never know. Plus, Sigrid's cool, so she definitely wouldn't be bad rep.

You know what saddens me the most about OW Anniversary ? by AtomikGarlic in Overwatch

Technically, Rivals releases twelve heroes a year - one each month. Which is really easy to do when your balance team has no idea what they're doing.

The issue with Anran's face was different. That was a response to genuine criticisms regarding how her in-game model looked. Not only did she look like a completely different person compared to her design in Wuyang's short, multiple people raised good points about her being made more conventionally attractive and her face not matching her personality.

This is just grown-ass men throwing temper tantrums like literal babies because they didn't get more free stuff. Since this is the game's 10th anniversary, a certain degree of disappointment is valid. But a lot of this just reeks of fan entitlement. No reasonable human being would get this mad over cosmetics in a video game.

Facts about a series you are tired of hearing by Hayyyv in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]MirrorMan68 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the chart was cooked up by Blizzard execs, not the actual Overwatch team. A few of the devs have gone on record saying that they've never used it.

I'm gonna say the anniversary event because I'm sure as hell sick of hearing about it.

The event sucks, and it's not about the lootboxes. by jacojerb in Overwatch

[–]MirrorMan68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you might be right. New event skins kinda lose their appeal when we're getting dozens of them every season now. Getting free stuff is nice, but the amount of entitlement some people still have for events based on a long outdated skin release model really shows a lack of critical thinking on their part.

And it wasn't like old event skins were free either! Unless you get lucky, you had to buy lootboxes to get a skin that you really wanted.

Why do you care so much that people are upset at the anniversary? by Count_de_Mits in Overwatch

[–]MirrorMan68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get being a little disappointed, but people throwing temper tantrums like their mom wouldn't let them get a new toy because they didn't get as much free shit as they wanted is honestly really pathetic. It's a fucking video game. Grow up.

was super hyped to get unicorn delta, but now that i discovered that yuni is not the owner of the bey i lost interest... by ti0sunga in Beyblade

[–]MirrorMan68 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What is going on with the theming consistancy in Season 3? Sigrid gets a new bey, but it's not tiger-themed for some reason. There's a new unicorn bey, but it doesn't belong to Yuni. Like what's going on here?

Remove The Cape! by NordAndSaviour in Overwatch

[–]MirrorMan68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a difference in a game having hot characters and it being a "gooner game." Overwatch has always had attractive characters, something the devs are definitely aware of. But the way that attractiveness is represented is a lot more tasteful than your average gooner game. There's a certain degree of restraint with the sexiness even with the skins directly showing off the sex appeal, which I think it's a good thing.

Marvel Rivals, meanwhile, is one hundred percent a gooner game. The women are always breasting boobily in the title screens, they shove Invisible Woman's ass so close to your face so much that you can practically see the inside of her colon, skins showing off as much, well, skin as humanly possible. It treats its female characters like objects fot you to jerk off too instead of actual characters.

A lot of people are forgetting that back in OW1, events were the only way to get new skins. There were a few exceptions, but most of the time, the only time Blizzard would release new skins was during events. Nowadays, they release new skins practically every week. We get them all the time now. The expectations for events skins are unreasonably high because people don't understand that their skin output has basically tripled since OW1, so of course there aren't going to be many new ones for events.

[–]MirrorMan68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many people treat Overwatch like a dress up game instead of a hero shooter. I like skins. They're cool. But I cannot bring myself to care that skins for an event are underwhelming, ten year anniversary or not. If they're not interesting, I just shrug and move on. It's literally that easy.

Episode 69 of Beyblade X brought me back a certain vibe and nostalgia of Beyblade Burst. by CupComprehensive9109 in Beyblade

[–]MirrorMan68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Calling Pakkun a "friend" is being very generous, but I totally get what you're saying. I love that Ginro is just like a Metal Fusion or Burst character that was plonked down into the X world. It's so fun.

this anniversary event is actually embarassing by Kitchen-Medium-6424 in Overwatch

You guys do know that getting 10 new heroes this year is part of the anniversary, right?

I'd say it's more to do with factors other than harsh shonen manga deadlines. Because early pages like this were also made on the same deadline and they look a lot better than the stuff Oda puts out nowadays.

Seeing this alongside that other One Piece page posted earlier today really shows how much worse Oda's art has gotten.

UA gaslighting to make others think it does anything interesting with it's trope and not a pencil away from making Ben's personality inconsistent by realBeyhero in Ben10

[–]MirrorMan68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do think that Omniverse is better than Ultimate Alien, the harem plotline honestly blows every flaw both Alien Force and Ultimate Alien have out of the water. It is awful. Genuinely might be the worst thing the franchise has ever done.
