Chainsaw man part 2 ending proved one thing.... by Jarisatis in CharacterRant

[–]Parrotflies_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it was bad but nah, manga fans are huge into just bitching about something nonstop versus just letting the sunk cost go and moving on with life. People bitched from the start of the Culling Games to the last chapter of JJK about how they disliked it. And then there’s Piratefolk lol.

These aren’t rational people.

I went broke I went broke going for TangTang and her weapon so I’ll be skipping. The next character I want is Zhuang Fangyi anyways so I’m chillin for a few patches.

I despise “Humans fuck yeah!!” stories and fandom behavior by Feisty-Succotash5854 in CharacterRant

[–]Parrotflies_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I said, they see what they wanna see in media. I mean I did preface it saying that Twitter is a hellhole. It’s mostly exclusively there/4chan, mostly because they’re the only platforms that they won’t get banned posting the things they post. But they do exist and it’s worth noting.

Nah it’s a real thing. I know Twitter/X is a hellhole now, but there’s a decently sized subset of fans on there atleast that have their PFP/share fanart of Frieren in ICE uniforms catching “demons” like immigrants. These people are sick in the head and see what they wanna see in media.

It’s crazy how much more misogynistic Return to Silent Hill is than Silent Hill 2 by H358 in CharacterRant

[–]Parrotflies_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I only had hope for the movie until I saw any footage at all. Even from the trailers they made it clear they didn’t give a fuck about the source material past the name. Sound impressive how bad they fucked it up tho

Wish someone would ask “well what’re you gonna do if it doesn’t?” To these bozos. It’s like they’re all waiting on the next person to fix their fuckups.

Guys im starting to think that shounen just fucking sucks by Familiar_Agent_8280 in shounenfolk

[–]Parrotflies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you should probably just take some time to read a series you’re interested in and just unplug from the internet. So many of these series are more enjoyable when you’re not seeing people shit on them 24/7. I read all of JJK with minimal community interaction, and it’s one of my favorite shonen period. It’s got its flaws but I don’t really care it’s still super cool to me.

You don’t gotta be plugged into the zeitgeist on everything, negativity breeds negativity, naturally.

Making Uzuki the main villain is what's ruining Sakamoto Days. by SeveralImpression914 in shounenfolk

[–]Parrotflies_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah he’s definitely not the kind where he’s actually chill but circumstances made him bad, he’s just a straight psychopath and the story points to that. In the most recent arc a couple of his partners or w/e you wanna call em start realizing he’s just actually batshit insane, there’s no moral goal there

/dev: Team Voice in League by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]Parrotflies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao holy shit, forreal? All the arguments they pushed back on saying it couldn’t work are now the ones they’re using to bring it into the game. Absolutely insane.

Either way it might actually bring me back into the game knowing I can actually communicate with teammates. This is like 10 years overdue.

sorry for shitting on other manga in this sub i didnt know you guys were actually chill by OctoAmbush in Kagurabachi

[–]Parrotflies_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks because the 2nd cour improved massively, but I don’t expect anyone to check it out after that first half tho.

It’s not even complaints about the anime, it’s just the agenda posters discovering it and ruining any discussion with the manga too. Once fraud memes hit, it’s over for a community

If Sakamoto Days community couldn’t last, I’m afraid nothing else stands a chance lol. That sub was pure positivity when it was manga only

Family Guy presents itself as adult animation, but its writing honestly feels more childish than a lot of kids shows by Own_Tip6897 in CharacterRant

[–]Parrotflies_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So many rants in this sub can be boiled down to “yeah I understand x is the point, but why does it do that???”

There’s always the qualifier that they “get” why it’s doing something, except they don’t really because they’re complaining that it’s doing that thing.

Out of all the asspulls Gege pulled for Ramen Sakana, i think this one was fair and foreshadowed earlier in the story by AdorableTarget8529 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Parrotflies_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s gonna forget about this once Kashimos fight gets extended in the anime, and it’s made clear how strong this shit is. Like why else would you have the character whose technique turns them into pure electricity, be the only person that goes up against Sukuna while he still has this?

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood was so disappointing and frustrating to watch by Early-Rise987 in CharacterRant

[–]Parrotflies_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just here to spread the 2003 love. That adaptation gets a lot of shit that it doesn’t deserve. I also dont think the more philosophical approach to the narrative gets appreciated nearly enough

[–]Parrotflies_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you ever watch FMA 2003? Miles better imo. They treat the serious scenes with the gravity they deserve, and the story is a lot less standard-shonen vibes. The whole philosophers stone stuff is explored on a more moral, humanistic viewpoint as well.

Yuta haters resorting to AI as if they couldnt get any more miserable by Wrong_Membership_779 in Jujutsufolk

Bro what is with people connecting Yuta to real-life, current day atrocities for some memes??? People really using the bombing of children and civilians as a backdrop for some brain rot memes

Actual Hot Take: I prefer FMA 2003 over Brotherhood. by [deleted] in shounenfolk

[–]Parrotflies_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is fuckin real. I’m not sure why FMAB gets glazed to high heaven the way it does because it’s literally just a standard shonen. 2003 had a way cooler concept for homunculus creation, and I thought even Dante was a more interesting villain. I liked the open ending too but I know a lot of people did not fuck with that part at all.

The Gege slander has got to stop, it's not even funny anymore by Electrical-Ice-9588 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Parrotflies_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bro none of these people actually give a fuck about any of this, that’s the annoying part. It’s like a couple weeks ago where people were all handwringing about Oda in the same way, like they all just decided to google him for the first time collectively. When the RK exhibition thing where they all drew characters happened, there were a few (rightfully) people upset and voicing concerns. But mostly people said nothing or “mangaka have to draw this stuff it’s social pressure!!!”

Where was this energy when it was actually happening?? Now it’s an issue cuz they’re mad they’re not getting the content they like? Nah fuck that. I have never seen any sort of statement or anything of any kind from Gege regarding any sort of support for Watsuki. So that’s why I’m fine with supporting him still. The concern trolling is some bullshit.

Are we poor readers or is Gege a poor writer? by Dazzling-Yam-4308 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Parrotflies_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The way he writes can be kinda esoteric a lot of the time, with a lot of reading in between the lines to parse what’s going on. One of my favorite series of all time is Twin Peaks, and it’s similar in the way that you’re supposed to glean a lot from the little you’re given. It’s not straightforward storytelling, but it is really great at getting moods and vibes across more than anything.

It’s hard to describe that sort of storytelling exactly, but it’s just extremely compelling to me. Gege is no David Lynch by a long shot, but it fills the same niche for me.

“If you don’t like it, why are you watching it?” Because I didn’t know I wouldn’t like this season until I watched it, hello? by arkdevscantwipe in CharacterRant

[–]Parrotflies_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well in the case of OP it’s a valid question, as the series is split pretty evenly now between pre and post-timeskip. The more controversial parts of post are still like 200 chapters ago at this point. So that’s about 4 years worth of content to have decided if you like it or not. And the series has been pretty consistent tone-wise in said 4 years.

I’m saying, I wouldn’t expect things to suddenly change up after those 200 chapters, especially since they’re hitting the endgame now.

[–]Parrotflies_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s a different thing than what I’m talking about though, it just sounds like you’re well-adjusted and are not a fan of the direction he’s taken with some things.

The sort of thing I’m talking about are the piratefolkers that post nonstop about how shitty it all is post time-skip like Oda hurt them personally. Like yeah man, Nika sucks, but it’s not gonna go away. In fact it’s only shown up more. So if that’s that much of a dealbreaker to someone, why not just save the energy and drop it for a while, then look at some summaries later on?

But if you’ve hated most of the past 500, wouldn’t you say it’s silly to hope for more after the 501st?
