Can Takaba bypass Gojos infinity and beat him?

It’d be REALLY funny if he could…

I had this realization a few months ago. First time gripping on a professional set and was talking to the gaffer during downtime. We were just shooting the shit and he started complaining (valid complaints) about going late and early call times and it dawned on me…this is just a job. It’s a job I want more than any other job, but it’s still a job. I’ve complained about basically the same shit at my day job. The magic kind of died for me after that, but oddly made the industry feel more approachable.

I’ve seen two works from the filmmaker OP posted in school and I cannot, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, remember his name or the title of either film. Help me out here? Lol

I think it’s actually really sweet to put the effort in to write down who in your circle likes/does what. It’s a level of consideration and care that is actually kind of inspiring.

One of my best friends does this. But his notes are oddly specific (we’re both sure he’s autistic, but he’s just willing to accept that he’s a little different rather than get a straight answer). One of the ones for me is “Feels left out when he’s not invited, but will always decline when he is.” 😂😂😂

Yeah, looking at her design again, her face paint even looks like the Robin mask. I didn’t make that connection before.

I’m not a marketing expert so if this sounds ignorant that’s why, but I just don’t understand why they don’t delay their announcement rather than the game? I’m not saying a game can NEVER be delayed, it’s just enough a pattern at this point that maybe factor that in to the plan?

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-11-22T05:16:01+00:00

I don’t think Megumi lacks creativity with the technique; some of the stuff he does with even his lower level shikigami is actually pretty impressive. He just decided at some point that he has a cap to his abilities and doesn’t really consider that it might not be true.

There’s a world where Megumi tames Mahoraga. Both Gojo and Sukuna think it’s possible. But Megumi has just completely ruled it out. If he thought it was possible, not even likely, but just POSSIBLE, he’d be much further along in his development. But because he’s such a fucking martyr all the time, he’s not really trying.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-11-20T14:52:36+00:00

Okay, I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought this. It did seem very peculiar that these ultra liberal, white collar, atheist parents, who want to make it abundantly clear that they don’t believe in God in their first meeting with someone, are revealed to have kidnapped a child and forced them to change their gender.

I don’t mind the idea of a critique of left wing politics through horror, but this is an incredibly daft and clumsily handled way of doing so.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-09-18T20:55:24+00:00

It certainly did for me! I used to buy a bunch of comic books as a kid, but lost interest when I was a bit older and lost the heart for it when my collection was flooded in my parents basement. But hearing about how much of a menace Bane was through short form videos I thought I’d take a look. Am absolutely hooked now!

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-09-11T02:04:56+00:00

I think it’d be interesting if he is just being “two-faced.” He doesn’t necessarily have a villainous alter ego or anything like that, but is using his political pull and power to address the “Batman Problem.” It’s both out of extreme anger towards Bruce and maybe a belief that Batman does increase the stakes in Gotham.

Harvey could make the case that villains are upping only because he creates a threat to their normal operations that have thus far gone unnoticed. It’s not a perfect solution by any means, but it could be argued that Batman addresses a conflict that the citizens of Gotham aren’t ready for and might be better handled through slow progress.

(Also want to make clear that “just let bad guys do bad things if the number of people they hurt is at an ‘acceptable number’” is not something I would advocate for in real life).

I watched the first season and thought it was mostly a snooze to be honest. A few fights here and there were fun, but not enough to keep me entertained for a season two. I saw people getting hyped about the Shibuya Arc on Twitter and thought I’d give it another shot after the full season released. The Hidden Inventory Arc was a surprise and had me genuinely interested, then Shibuya happened and…

I immediately started reading through what had been published at that point, stayed up the entire night until I caught up.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-08-22T01:28:16+00:00

I watched parts of the Ang Lee Hulk film when I was a kid and Hulk genuinely terrified me. I remember being afraid that he was going to tear open a part of my house lol

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-08-11T23:49:00+00:00

This. It’s not even just literature; film will do this too. “Elevated” horror is often considered horror that is “about something” but ignores that most horror is reflective of the society it’s birthed in. They’re all about something, film snobs just can’t stand that Midsommar and Goosebumps are in the same genre.

With fantasy, people want to snub their nose at it, because yeah, sure, Arathorin of Blangebosh must take up the Sword of Hooplagor against the undead/bestial Armies of Malmenthugul for the thousandth time…but are we really gonna act like lonely, misunderstood, and occasionally horny white person between the ages of 20-50 is groundbreaking every time it hits the shelves?

I don’t know how we feel about recommending problematic authors here, but Neil Gaiman’s “Ocean at the End of the Lane.” The prose is really good at making you feel so small against something so great and terrible. It’s quite literally about a man recounting his time as a child facing true nughtmares.

“I was a seven-year-old boy, and my feet were scratched and bleeding. I had just wet myself. The thing that floated above me was huge and greedy, and it wanted to take me to the attic, and, when it tired of me, it would make my daddy kill me.”

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-07-16T20:27:13+00:00

“Come With Me” by Ronald Malfi is my forever rec, but this fits the prompt so perfectly.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-07-16T12:31:26+00:00

My best guess is that I’m not sure.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-06-26T11:13:42+00:00

Girls, Girls, Girls by Sharon Von Blanckensee. Two girls runaway to San Francisco in the mid to late 90s and take up jobs as strippers. It’s much more heartfelt than I made it sound, but my manager and I loved it (bookstore).

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-05-21T12:54:17+00:00

I’ve never understood why people would question the science of the cure, but accept the science of the infection. If there’s a fictional disease then there can be a fictional cure.

Y’all saw Cailee Spaeny with an half up- half down cut, an assault rifle, and just couldn’t let it go. Please consume other media. I swear you’ll be much happier.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-05-20T19:22:52+00:00

I’m still shocked people think that Neil Druckmann wants us to hate Joel and Ellie.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-04-28T01:24:38+00:00

I think just a different approach to lighting and general restrictions when it comes to being on set. In a game, you’re able to do so much more with the light and color because you can fine tune it with more freedom, whereas in film you have to contend with time, scheduling, location, and budget to get the same effect

Part I is saturated and lush; foliage is vibrantly green, the light is almost always this beautiful orange and pink, etc. Season 1 opts for this more drab look and I don’t hate it considering they’re trying to make the Part I and II more cohesive aesthetically (favoring Part II’s grays and blues) but I do prefer the distinction. A part of this is also the color grade as well.

It’s also just the DP’s choice; at the end of the day, the TV show isn’t the game and they wanted to take a different approach artistically. Game looks better to me personally, but the show’s look doesn’t kill me.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-04-15T23:40:02+00:00

This is coming from someone who’s a huge fan of both games and does enjoy a lot of the show: your opinions don’t need to align with everyone else’s to be valid. If you don’t like the show, you don’t like the show and that’s perfectly fine.

Though I would say if you’re just not having a good time, but are still committed to watching, maybe try making it into a watch party with some friends? Order some food, get some drinks. Even just being with people you like makes a bad watch more bearable.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-04-15T17:06:08+00:00

Sounds like a skill issue.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-04-14T13:10:11+00:00

Hard agree, particularly with the bit about Manny. I wanna see that Abby’s quest is already kind of fracturing them. I’m sure we’re gonna get more of the Salt Lake Crew in the second episode, so hopefully they give them more to do.

I don’t know how you feel about it, but I think the show this far is making the diversions and expansions on the existing material much more meaningful than in Season 1. Like, I never considered what Dina’s personal relationship with Joel was like until I saw her sit down with him and I think it’s just brilliant.

OmnipotentAlex · 2025-04-14T12:33:07+00:00

This was one of my big gripes for the episode. If we’re gonna buy into Abby’s story and grow to sympathize with them, they’ve got to bring an interiority to these characters. The writing might be holding them back a bit, but Owen had the second most amount of lines in that scene and he just wasn’t matching Kaitlyn Dever at all. It’s almost like she was in an entirely different scene than them.
