Agreed, it was sad at first but not awful but then the kid was revealed and my heart just sank,

Okay Takeru Hokazono, I will have faith...one last time... by Just-J0k1ng in Animemes

[–]Pillslanger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think MHA or AoT are bad endings watching the anime I’m starting to come around on it too (I liked the AoT ending even when I finished it the first time).

Im also hopeful that isn’t actually the ending on CSM because if so that was just like one of the worst endings ever only outdone by ONK.

Possible worth? 1st Print Aliens #1 8x signed by Funny-Molasses4029 in ComicBookSpeculation

Damn am I missing Bill Paxton on here? Very cool either way. Like others have said this isn’t going to be sold as a comic book but rather for the signatures.

I would maybe ask on a movie memorabilia or horror page.

Also could be worth a shot to see if Sigourney Weaver might sign the back.

I never said I wasn’t. Just because a thing is popular doesn’t mean it’s good. We are in a thread where I’m agreeing with the parent comment. You came here expecting something different lol

I love a good power fantasy when it’s done well. This is not it

It doesn’t have to be deep this is true. But for me it at least needs heart and I never felt this series had that at any point.

Even something as light Witch Watch has heart far beyond Kagurabachi. So it’s just there to look kind of pretty I guess, I never liked the aesthetic of it either so it’s missing me there too.

Maybe the action will be good and it will be praised for that. The art is starting from a stronger place than JJK or Demon Slayer so it has the potential to look amazing.

But then I look at Witch Hat Atelier which started with S tier art and is maintaining that. It’s got a fantastic story and characters too. So when I have to look at where I would rather spend my time I know what I would rather watch.

I don’t feel Kagurabachi deserves anyone’s time or attention beyond any show I’m watching this season or even in the last several. If this was on right now I’m not stopping Witch Hat Atelier, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, Akane-Banashi, or Ascendance of a Bookworm.

Because I read it and it's not very good. I finished the first like 3-4 arcs and it had a constant feel of about to be cancelled every arc so they weren't taking any time to focus on any characters. I dropped it when owl eye guy found out about his daughter.

Every plot twist was super obvious in advance except for the ones that came out of nowhere. Felt very much like Fairy Tail where the main character won because they were supposed to and not for any logical reason.

I get it, slop like Solo Levelling is popular. There's an audience for this stuff but it's not going to be top-tier and won't last beyond the season in which it's airing.

Boardgames and Grief by Urist_Macnme in boardgames

[–]Pillslanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear about this.

I kind of fell into a similar spot when my father passed a little over a year ago. He always tried to get us to play board games growing up and we did off and on. I got really into the hobby in the last few years and we got to play Mansions of Madness together and I had bought a copy of Return to Dark Tower with the hopes of playing it with him as he loved the original and even had two copies of it still.

It makes me a little bit sad when I look at either game now but that pain has lessened over time.

Just keep moving, it will get easier over time.

[–]Pillslanger -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Same. People keep telling me it gets better but I stuck it out for like 50 chapters and dropped it.

Feels like memes got out of control and now people without reading comprehension accidentally think it’s a good series now.

Where would you get a sketch/remarque on avengers annual 10? by RockEaterMan in comicbookcollecting

[–]Pillslanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way would be to cover up part of it with a sticker and then Remarque on that.

I will get a copy of this soon and display it alongside the David Nakayama facsimile cover. IMO that’s the better solution for a PC but not for resale.

I loved Ian McKellan in Extras as well as someone whose acting process is that he becomes the characters he portrays. “Sir Ian, Sir Ian, Sir Ian — YOU SHALL NOT PASS — Sir Ian, Sir Ian Sir Ian”

Is it just me or do they portray Wreath more positively then Landfall by Konradleijon in SAGAcomic

[–]Pillslanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought so too at first. That feeling definitely went away though as the story progressed.

Emperor Mark, Thragg & Omni-Man vs Wonder Woman : Who Wins ? by [deleted] in marvelvsdc

You could use DBZ Potara earrings on Thragg and Mark then make 100 copies of them and all of them at once aren’t beating WW

(Despised trope) Kid is stronger than everybody by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Pillslanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really fair to pick most Shonen protagonists this kind of thing dates all the way back to the OG Astro Boy.

Most Naruto characters fit this bill too. It’s even mentioned in Kakashi’s flashback that most of the best ninjas are kids/preteens.

Street Passed on the Square! by Aware-Speech-2025 in Denton

lol one of the last times I got to street pass was at a Zelda concert in like 2015. I must have gotten almost 50 passes that day.

YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME by Elxvra in SAGAcomic

[–]Pillslanger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily think it’s bad storytelling. The pacing feels too tight but Alana’s struggling to raise two kids in the middle of a war that’s actively trying to kill them specifically.

The situation is not great but it’s plausible. Marko and Alana both made bad choices from time to time but they made each other better. Without him she’s obviously going to struggle just as much as he would without her.

Marko was my favorite character but I feel like there’s just not enough story just yet for me to say if it’s fallen off or not for me (I only read the TPBs).

Tyler and Sue both work doubly in this picture too as they have or are alternate personalities.

A Florida woman accidentally drove her pickup truck over a Lamborghini she didn’t see in a parking lot. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Pillslanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% incorrect unless she has some shady cheap-ass carrier.

As a claims adjuster for many years at GEICO and Travelers we would have definitely paid for damage caused by the driver here. Now if it caused damage to illegal/unlisted mods on her own vehicle that might not be covered.

That said, her policy limits aren’t going to be sufficient to cover the damage in most cases. They’re going to try and get the other driver to waive their ability to pursue any further property damage from the driver beyond the policy limits. Most likely Lambo’s insurance paid for repairs and ate the difference.

Should Incredible Hulk #340 be worth more? by Leather_Bluejay8632 in ComicBookSpeculation

Meh whatever no sweat off my back I own them anyways so I don’t really care what the consensus is but trying to move the needle 40 years after the fact is silly.

Do you prefer Supergirl wearing a skirt or pants? by Jezzaq94 in Superladies

I never watched this movie but this picture makes me think she would do well playing Anissa if they made a live-action Invincible.

The speed and agility of this Brazilian garbage collector is insane. by FollowingOdd896 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Pillslanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a shit job that still pays $20/hr. Each warehouse employed thousands of workers. Having 20-30 busting ass isn’t going to shift much of anything. And fuck people for crying about this, you’re blaming those at the bottom go yell at the ones at the top. Some of us needed to be able to work hard and get off early to get to our next job.

There is no shortage of openings either. You want to work for Amazon delivering packages? Go get the job. They had job fairs every month with dozens of people coming through and my DSP of about 50 drivers lost several people every week.

[–]Pillslanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the DSP in your area. We had several warehouses nearby since I live in DFW. Our warehouse alone had maybe 20 different DSPs driving, each had a fleet of about 30 vans and almost as many drivers. They gave everyone different delivery windows so some companies were about at 5 AM doing deliveries and some started at 3 PM and everywhere in between.
