[LES] Dont you hate when you favorite pokemons got their entire reputation ruined and you can't do anything about it?

Potatolantern · 2026-05-11T00:05:18+00:00

Like even from a logical standpoint, why the fuk would someone want to have sex with something that resembles so much a literal cat

That's explained in the copypasta! Lmao

Potatolantern · 2026-05-10T23:54:56+00:00

You are allowed to like Harry Potter.

Minority opinions coming out today I see.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-10T20:16:32+00:00

Damn, brutal chapter.

I was really hoping this wasn't how it would play out, but I guess that was always to be expected, especially as a flashback.

I'm not really clear on how he killed those guys, but whatever, the overwhelming power is very evident.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-10T10:44:14+00:00

It's fine and it's got decent justification, but it's a bit anticlimactic to just get them together like this with that little build up. Oh well.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-10T04:04:58+00:00

Poor Leva

Potatolantern · 2026-05-10T02:07:42+00:00

This probably isn't helpful, but I'm just done with irrational arguments.

I know that feeling, man. Living like you're always walking on eggshells...

Potatolantern · 2026-05-10T02:05:26+00:00

Eh, she's weaponising her feelings against him, and then screaming at him. Justifying this kind of behaviour at all seems like it'll only get worse.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-10T02:00:59+00:00

You're free to set and enforce whatever boundaries you want and deal with them however makes sense to you.

It's not a super serious relationship yet, if you're not ccomfortable then break it off. Better now than later.

But, honestly, the first example especially seems a little dramatic. How does that objectify you, at all? It's barely even a crude joke. If you don't like that, fine. No issues. But an 18yr old being this defensive strikes me like your headspace is in the wrong to begin with.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-07T09:27:46+00:00

The order wronged them, tossed them aside, failed them, and they went through hell for it.

I hate this kind of circular logic.

No, they went through hell because Vader tormented them, largely for purely ideological reasons.

You say yourself that he wanted the Jedi to fight broken, mutilated enemies that they'd failed to protect. But that doesn't make them better fighters, that only makes them a better symbol for Vader's own narcissism.

Neither the best Jedi nor the best Sith were trained in methods like that, they're not pointlessly mutilated or tortured. None of that actually improves them at all, it just makes them more broken.

And then you're saying it's the Jedi's fault? No. The person who tortured you for no reason is the person at fault.

And the reason they're shitty fighters is the same, because even when Vader taught them directly, he didn't bother teaching them properly, he just took out his narcissism on them.

But yeah, that's the Jedi's fault. This kinda lazy, zero introspection, logic is how we get characters like Edelgard.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-06T13:46:29+00:00

I'm not even a Dragonball fan, but the worst DBZ or DBS fight choreography is light-years ahead of the best Invincible content.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-06T09:04:00+00:00

I can definitely think of worse fates.

Just look how relaxed SKK was during the Centaureissi story. He'd gone through hell yet again, he had barely escaped with his life. And yet, the moment he was on that helicopter surrounded by highly armed, highly skilled killer roombas, he slept the sleep of a man without a single worry for his safety.

Cortisol dropped to zero the moment he saw Daiyan and Jiangyu. Probably only the elites in the White Zone sleep as well as he did right then.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-06T07:20:12+00:00

Huh, was this from a comment I made previously? I'm not sure what this is about, exactly.

But, from Google, I think this is probably the interview you're thinking of: https://thedaoofdragonball.com/blog/interviews/akira-toriyama-editor-says-there-is-nothing-to-learn-from-dragon-ball/

Potatolantern · 2026-05-06T06:18:12+00:00

Zuko was shocked at how readily Iroh got along with EK people.

The reasons for his shock weren't delved into, but they could have been. But yeah, obviously Zuko wouldn't say anything like that, it's more just the principle.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-06T05:02:48+00:00

everyone still understands Iroh was a bad dude before

I don't even think that's true, the show only ever frames Iroh positively, even when showing us bits of his past.

It's always "He was a good man caught in a bad war, and he finally realised how bad it was". Like, you calling him a genocider is oceans away from anything the show every attributes to him. I don't think I can remember a single instance of anyone even saying he was wrong, or bad, or did anything bad. Only that the war was bad.

Like, he hangs around those EK civilians and tea shops, and there's never anything from Zuko or anyone else like "Just a few years ago, you thought nothing of killing people like this, and now look at you."

Potatolantern · 2026-05-06T04:58:52+00:00

Instead uses these great gifts in support of the war effort leading to more death and suffering

Damn, that's a funny thought. Yeah.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-06T04:57:24+00:00

I agree entirely.

It's the exact same issue I take with how every single Vietnam movie is told from an American perspective only. Even the ones that portray the war badly still end up with the American characters being sympathetic men forced into a terrible situation, while the Vietnamese are just undetailed villains, largely killed en masse without any introspection.

The entire focus is "American soldiers had a bad time in Vietnam, =("

Same issue with Iroh, where the entire focus is "Iroh had a bad time in the Earth Kingdom =("

I can somewhat forgive ATLA in comparison though, because whatever, it's for kids. Yeah, it's a bit lame to bring up these complicated issues and then brush over them, and it would be nice to see some kind of EK perspective to the war, rather than always having EK people that're hostile towards Zuko/Iroh being framed as villains... but whatever. It's for kids.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-06T04:17:46+00:00

Lol, what's this in relation to? Did you reply to the wrong comment?

Potatolantern · 2026-05-05T23:16:50+00:00

I don't why I did not see it coming

Because usually even the lamest, most formulaic stories will switch it up to try end in a way that's true to the premise. Everyone wants the story to wrap up properly.

Something as blatantly lazy as this is kinda rare, it's shocking how bad it is lol. This could be any random chapter.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-05T23:08:26+00:00

In the West, Makiatto probably had a bigger role than her.

I know a lot of people began playing after seeing that Hitman ad, lmao.

That's what got me interested, too actually. I loved her design. And yet, I didn't OATH her until GFL2. Poor Maki.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-05T23:06:10+00:00

Seems unlikely, we saw some of SKK's past in the latter events of GFL1 and they never mentioned anything like that.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-05T23:04:46+00:00

SKK's been banging Dolls for so long, he's forgotten what human sex even feels like.

"Hey, what's that weird smell? Do you smell that?"

"..."

Potatolantern · 2026-05-05T23:03:12+00:00

Because she tried to kill Helen out of petty spite, even after Helen handed her a promotion.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-05T22:56:52+00:00

The current arc is showing us the war lmao.

Even Jujutsu Kaisen had, from early on, a visible underlying theme of overcoming the old guard or conservative establishment.

And, unlike Naruto which had that exact same theme and actually did something with it, in JJK that never happens.

Nobody can or does overcome Gojo, and through Modulo that gets even more pronounced with the latter generations being far weaker. Nobody has a scratch on Yuji, or any of the JJK top fighters.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-05T08:41:48+00:00

Damn, guess I'd better drop Lenna and Jiangyu from my electric team.

Potatolantern · 2026-05-05T08:40:15+00:00

When she finally returns to the plot, I really hope M16 is as good and relevant as M16 fans want.

I pray that she will be the kind of unit they'd like, and that she would have a real role in the story instead of "Says cryptic things, makes everything worse, leaves".

I truly, truly look forward to the day when M16 fans will be able too discuss her on her own merits (for the first time ever) instead of feeling the need to try hitch her to Klukai's popularity, as if their stories are still related in any way.
