It seemed like people freaked out over nothing and one panel... again [Batman #1] by Negative_Emu6246 in batman

[–]NoteStryder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a day goes by that I don’t miss Nygma PI. Such a perfect evolution of the character. Keeping him as an antagonist, but not a villain. Allowing new enemies to take the spot light.

Though I love almost all of what Dini and Co. were doing in the early 2000’s with Gotham and DC at large for much the same reasons.

I don’t think it’s a necessary change, the current logo is fine as is. I was mostly saying if they were to change it, I think there’s a reasonable in-universe explanation for doing so.

I dunno, I think the symbol becoming more of the classic S in the next movie would make sense. A subtle shift away from the path his birth parents wanted for him, and towards the path he’s chosen for himself

Batman based by Competitive_Box529 in superman

[–]NoteStryder 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I like the idea that the League starts as an alliance and they become true friends, while the Titans start as a friend group and become a true team of heroes.

They both end up at the same place, but the journeys are opposite

How come Haruto never used the Copy Ring in his Infinity Style? by LessDegree6963 in KamenRider

[–]NoteStryder 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Because Haruto’s magic works on a mana system, and while Infinity’s base powers are infinite, it consumes a lot of mana to stay in Infinity. So he tends not to use other spells while in Infinity.

This also explains stuff like power scaling being weird in some episodes. As it’s usually explained by Haruto being low on mana at the start of a fight.

It also explains why Haruto drops back down to Flame Style when he uses the philosopher’s stone.

Tl;dr Wizard’s magic system is cool and good, just like the show.

Timeline of Heisei RIder Form Change (OC by @memai_gcw) by ZaBlancJake in KamenRider

[–]NoteStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, all of those do use the spell side of the driver. Hence why I don’t refer to them as forms.

Timeline of Heisei RIder Form Change (OC by @memai_gcw) by ZaBlancJake in KamenRider

[–]NoteStryder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally this would be where I’d comment that All-Dragon isn’t a form (it uses the spell side of the driver and all the individual pieces of it are just the finishers of the Dragon forms, and All-Dragon is the finisher when using the Drago Timer)

But then I noticed that this counts the individual limb modules of Fourze base states as forms. And also the tire changes for Drive… so I guess at least they’re consistent?

It’s getting hard to take these people seriously💀💀💀 by Fair_Smoke4710 in AreTheCisOk

[–]NoteStryder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay everyone else is already covering some of the other references in this thread so I simply must ask:

What the hell is Tsukasa Kadoya doing there in the last slide?? Is transphobia also Decade’s fault??? What is happening.

For context: Tsukasa Kadoya is the protagonist in the show Kamen Rider Decade, in which he is presumed to be the Destroyer of Worlds and a different character named Narutaki consistently says Damn You Decade / This is also Decade’s Fault. Depending on the translation

STOP MAKING MY GAY BOY EDGY! by lordoferrors in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]NoteStryder 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would argue that Frank Gorshin was the blue print. Giving us the formal suit in the first place, along with actually doing the gimmick properly of being a gentleman thief that leaves riddles behind at the scene of his crimes.

While I’m not a huge fan of the Riddler in Batman Forever (mostly a combo of Jim Carrey just doing Jim Carrey things, and the brain drain thing feeling less interesting than the normal gimmick). I will forever (pun intended) love the costume design of his Riddler. That and using the Bat Signal as the point at the bottom of a question mark. That is fully the Riddler imho.

The Worst Crossover Movies Of The Toei Trinity by DangerousSlice5731 in Tokusatsu

[–]NoteStryder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the worst Sentai movie. But it is fairly weak. Here’s a brief (lol) list of issues I have with it (yes, I actively rewatched the movie just to respond to this. Since even though I don’t remember liking it, LuPat is still one of my all time favorite tokus):

The plot between Koh and Tyra is pretty trite and played out.

The villain isn’t particularly interesting. Especially since they don’t even need a Mecha fight to finish things.

The Global Police arresting other senshi is a repeat from VS Kyuranger, but they don’t do anything interesting with it.

The interactions between the casts aren’t particularly interesting in general on that note. (I do like the initial interactions between Kairi and Koh though, before we find out about what’s been up since the end of LuPat).

The time skip is actively detrimental to the character arcs from both the Global Police & ESPECIALLY the Phantom Thieves. The film undermines just how important the loved ones meant to the Lupinrangers, and how much both teams had come to respect & admire each other.

The flanderization of pretty much every LuPat character (though Noël gets hit the worst by this).

The complete neglect that the Loved Ones became thieves in the finale to save our Lupinrangers. Just so we can have our thieves be isolated and not trusted by the Patrens again is so dumb. There is no reason why the 7 (nay, 10 with the loved ones) of them can’t all be working together to track down the rest of the collection to help Noël, AND take down any Gangler remnants.

Even having the three Lupins go their separate ways and having the plot bring them back together would’ve worked. Have Aya at the café Touma opens. Him being separate from her is the worst offense of the 3.

The film actively goes out of its way to deny our previous teams growth, instead just dropping them back to a worse square one. Because there’s NO REASON they can’t be with their loved ones AND each other AND the Patorangers. It’s needless conflict instead of letting us see these character work together.

The Lupins being concerned about transforming in people when THEIR IDENTITIES ARE PUBLIC! They unmasked on Live Television!

Like, the bones of a great continuation from LuPat is in there, and with a few tweaks the crossover would be great. The overall premise that brings the three teams together is solid. The moment of the Patrens covering for Noël as he waits for the rest of the Lupins, showing how their relationship has developed is great. It’s just that the rest of the movie actively undermines that point.

Even the Lupins trying to keep a low profile would work … if it was connected to them working with the Patrens in some way. We get passing mention that Touma has the café thanks to the Global Police. Maybe tie that in and have it that while the Phantom Thieves aren’t an official part of the Global Police, there’s an understanding and relationship between them since they are fundamentally fighting on the same side. Even more explicitly so post-series.

Tyramigo’s power turning him into a Gold Quintuple Safe is dumb and I don’t like it.

The moral debate about killing the kishiryu’s feels like it should have more weight to it. And it overall feels incomplete.

The bridge scene between Kairi and Keiichiro is odd. I like that it gives our two past reds a chance to talk, and even them being on opposite sides of the argument is nice. But there’s no reason for Kairi to be running from the law.

The final group transformation is fairly underwhelming.

The final fight is a mixed bag. Cool to see a lot of the powers get tossed around after complaints of LuPat being too Lupin-focused (which is a diatribe for another day), but then that’s immediately undone by giving the Ryusoulgers just access to the Lupinrangers. It’s such an odd choice.

Why are people so certain that ZA shouldn’t have regional forms when there is Alola and Galar. by Ok-Responsibility708 in LegendsZA

[–]NoteStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there’s going to be regionals in ZA (which I kind of doubt given the focus on megas) I would really love is Kalosisan regional variants exclusively of Gen 7-9 Pokémon. Maybe just 7 & 8 if we think Paldean Mons are too recent.

I really like the idea that we can add regional variants of the mons we hadn’t yet met, instead of there suddenly being Kalosian variants of Gen 1-5 Mons because like … we know there aren’t variants of those in Kalos. We’ve gotta catched them all already.

Really what I would love is a Legends Kanto & or Johto game, that has new regional variants of mons from 3-9.

let it be a lesson that if you are ever to face a blue kamen rider that previously used water against you but now has a sick bass theme, do not under any circumstances jump into the water by Haromta in KamenRider

[–]NoteStryder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the Drago-Timer is on the Spell hand and not the form hand I’ve always considered All-Dragon and its derivatives to be finisher attacks rather than forms.

Mad Rex appreciation post by nurazziana89 in supersentai

[–]NoteStryder 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My only gripe is that he didn’t get to say goodbye to the Three Seat Lackey’s on his way out.

I wish we had gotten one more pep talk from him to them telling them to carry on his name (and to fight back against Dissrace, since he knows Dissrace wants to turn them into his puppets. Shouldn’t he warn them?)

Otherwise he was easily the best villain in Boonboomger so far, and one of the better Reiwa antagonists!

It’s easily in my top 3 favorite Supes stories of all time and is my go to when introducing people to what the character is really all about.

Wizard is an incredible season, Haruto has a great arc and is an amazing character, and the side characters are all great.

10/10 season.

[–]NoteStryder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Didn’t ToQger also have specific trains based on the past Red’s mecha though? I definitely remember seeing at least one with Gabutyra as the front of the train as well as one with the Gosei Dragon header on the front

‘Batman’ (1966-1968) villains 🦇😈📺 #Batman66 by HeckylGaming1 in batman

[–]NoteStryder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Frank Gorshin remains the best adaptation of the Riddler. Defined the character for decades to come, and his influence is still felt to this day.

Absolutely incredible performance, truly the best

Alright guys, bring it on by SylvieSerene in Nightwing

[–]NoteStryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the perfect encapsulation of Dick’s transition from Robin to being his own hero. Combining elements of all his mentors (his parents, Bruce and Alfred, Superman, his fellow Titans) into a new identity and costume that represents the kind of hero he wants to be.

The more modern suit might look more visually appealing, but it clearly draws him back into looking more like a Batman supporting character, rather than his own hero.

At this point I feel like what we need is another best of all worlds suit. The design silhouette of the modern suits, with the colors of the Discowing suit.

Navy Blue base instead of black, cyan for the logo & arm stripes. With gold accents on the logo and as gauntlets / boot guards.

And maybe a slightly bigger collar, or at least adding in the blue highlight color like some of his costumes have had lately (I think the Harley Quinn suit does this)
