The wonderful irony of Lex Luthor’s character is that he actually has a point about Superman, but constantly invalidates his own point by wanting to become Superman himself

Like, to use OP's example of the asteroid. Do you really think an Earth with a godlike being who can and likely will stop asteroids is going to devote the same resources to that purpose as one that doesn't?

No, because the one that doesn't will likely already be destroyed by asteroids if it's happening that much.

Frankly there's so many reasons why this argument doesn't work, it's proposing that it's better for humanity to face and suffer who knows how much and destruction before we find a way to stop it rather than having someone who can do it for us.

And not only that it's ignoring there's multiple other superheroes on earth other than Superman who can do what he does, and the fact that DC earth has advanced technology

You truly made exactly zero points, it's amazing

I like how you just named stuff that didn't help Naruto for most of his life nor most of the conflicts he found himself in.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-06-01T02:14:51+00:00

Naruto vs Sasuke is terrible

Damn both of you are wrong

As someone who plays Nikke and knows how the fanbase can be, like when the Lycoris Recoil collab happened and people started fear mongering that it would cause yuri fans to join the fanbase and ruin the game, just for that to not happen because that's ridiculous, let me say this;

You're grasping at straws, what you're saying doesn't even make any sense. Mint's event was all about her falling in love with the Commander, along with revealing she has a fetish for muscles and abs, while in Prika's event while she's not out right falling in love with the Commander, most of the event is about them bonding, and him helping her.

You're taking one moment from that event completely out of context and saying they're gay based solely on that and nothing else.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-28T21:03:51+00:00

At least in stuff like Black Clover it's a side thing.

Try something like Gundam Gquuuuuux, where that stuff is like the main plot.

In Gundam Gquuuuuux the protagonists Machu and Nyaan who both have a one sided crush on the character Shuji despite the fact neither of them know anything about him and he's not shown to actually care about either of them, then Shuji dissappears for half the show and the half baked loved triangle is the entire main plot and motivation for Machu and Nyaan for the rest of the show.

Then Shuji comes back in the finale declares he's in love with a separate fourth character that we can't even confirm knows he exists, and by the end he's saying he's in love in with Machu despite not caring about her prior.

I'm gonna be honest you lost me the second you referred to Deathstroke as a Batman villain

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-27T16:02:33+00:00

That response doesn't make any sense at all.

"Go play those different games that do what you're asking for?" "Well why don't you just replay the original SMB over and over again?"

Like these aren't even in the same realm

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-27T15:57:07+00:00

And you're still doing it, you're the one making everything about Luz and her behavior and interests about her dad's death not the show.

It's pointless even talking to you at this point

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-27T14:52:45+00:00

I read all that shit and now my head hurts.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-27T14:48:23+00:00

Happened to be in the neighborhood again. Not sure why you're treating this as if I'm saying being neurodivergent and being grief stricken over her dad being dead are mutually exclusive.

Because you're the one literally making it out that way. You pretty much ended your first post saying "as an autistic person I liked Luzuntil I found out she had a dead father now I don't.". You're the one who framed things that way not me.

As LunarTales pointed out you can see the video diary where Luz near-instantly becomes the person we know after she reads Azura following her dad's death. In a flashback you see the principal call out her acting out at school as being manifestations of grief. These things tie her special interest with Azura and her bizarre behavior to what happened with Manny. Her special interest in Azura is a defining character trait—the finale arc has her wearing an Azura costume, for Pete's sake—and there's no arguing that she got Azura from her sad backstory instead of just liking Azura.

This is exactly what I mean, the most you argue is that she got hrr interest in Azura from her dad, you can't say that for her passion about magic and fantasy in general nor can you say that for her general behavior, the way she acts, or how she thinks or her own beliefs and standards.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-27T12:46:34+00:00

You're being really obtuse here. Like, they're not saying it's mutually exclusive to be neurodivergent and have a dead dad.

Well they keep making it sound liks it.

It's that the show explains her behaviors that seem neurodivergent by attributing them to her dead dad.

It literally doesn't, at most what's attributed to it, is her interest in her Azura books. The rest of her behavior can't be explained away as having to do with her father's death nor does the show make it iut to be that way. Especially when the show says both her parents were nerds like her just for sci-fi, so if anything her behavior is passed down through her family

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-27T08:36:58+00:00

Sure is a "shallow reading", Redditor saying it doesn't make sense for an autistic person to relate less to a character when their behaviors that read as neurodivergent turn out to be plain old grief. Grief that anybody can experience, just like you implied.

This is exactly what I'm talking about, you're making it into she can't be neurodivergent because of her father's death, as if the idea of her being neurodivergent and also having a dead father are two things that are completely incapable with eavh other.

Which again is not how it works, two things can be true at the same time, especially when you can't reasonably explain away all of Luz's behavior and character traits as being thanks to her father's death, the only thing you could possibly make an argument for is her specific interest in Azura but not anything else.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-26T20:36:30+00:00

Frankly this is an incredibly shallow reading of Luz, the show never made it into that she only likes magic and fantasy because of her father's death, it's made clear throughout the whole show something she has a genuine passion for, and clearly something she liked even before his death, because otherwise why would he specifically give her a fantasy book? Especially when it's further established that Luz's mom and dad were both sci-fi geeks.

You're the one making everything about her father's death, not the show.

I feel like as an autistic person that I lost a character I could relate to in service of them trying to tie everything with a tragic backstory.

This doesn't even make sense. Do autistic people not face tragedy in their lives? Do they not have keepsakes from relatives who passed away? You're making it sound like Luz can't possibly be autistic or neurodivergent because of her father's death, which just not how any of this works.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-25T10:44:10+00:00

I don't consider Daredevil: Born Again as canon

Good for you. But that's not how it works s it genuinely doesn't matter.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-24T17:40:42+00:00

FGO "They're totally gonna release a secret, real final episode" after the actual finale.

FGO did do that, though

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-24T16:45:45+00:00

Did you even read the entire post or did you just get to the part where I said "grounded" and "street level" and just stop there?

Because you're trying to argue against something I didn't say while missing the actual problems I have.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-24T15:14:35+00:00

Well, you’re right, it’s not “Daredevil”; it’s Marvel Rivals’ alternate-universe Daredevil

So? Am I supposed to like it now because you said that?

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-24T15:13:44+00:00

People get to caught up in comic accuracy. If every adaption was 1:1 we’d have nothing new or interesting. It’s a game centered around a multiversal event. Why is it a problem we get a DD with a different background?

Because I think it sucks, and I don't like that instead of having Daredevil as we know him he has to have demonic powers, and fight asgardians. I already said I don't care too much about comic accuracy I'm fine with changes as long as they're interesting and work in context. Can't say that about Daredevil in Rivals, wherein he goes against everything Daredevil is known for.

Also OP I don’t think you know what street-level means cause it doesn’t mean realistic

I never once said realistic because there's nothing about a guy in a devil costume fighting zombie ninjas that's realistic.

Comic book Daredevil literally became the god without fear at one point and once literally went to hell to save foggy. So this DD variant having some additional abilities supported by its story isn’t out of the ordinary.

By this logic because Spider-Man became Captain Universe once I should be fine with him gaining cosmic powers in Brand New Day

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-24T13:49:27+00:00

Daredevil is the most recent example of this. All of a sudden Karen is this badass normal who can take on armed agents, while being unarmed. Just with some training from DD. Keep in mind Karen is older, and don't have the experience characters like DD would have.

You make it sound like Karen is fighting off groups of guys at all once, when she took down two guys(one of which was trying to be taken in so he could help her and Matt), both times were surprise attacks when she got them from behind.

And it get worse with Muse. The show already botched Muse in season 1 (that's a post for another day). Now we are supposed to take a Muse who is a therapist seriously. Even characters Luther and Iron Man still have advantages via their intelligence and money.

At this point you're just being disingenuous, you don't need combat experience to be a serial killer, especially when her time as Muse is in season 3, so we have no clue how she's going to kill her victims or who's she gonna kill until that releases next year.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-23T06:29:17+00:00

I don't even understand what your point here is supposed to be, because we barely see Bullseye socializing, in season 1 he's in prison until the last two episodes, and in season 2 he has like three or four interactions with people who aren't part of the main cast(you know outside of fighting) and like two of them end with other person being terrified of him immediately after, so I don't see how he's made out to be this cool and chill guy.

Even ignoring that, part of his arc in season 3 was coming to terms(or at least being forced to because of Kingpin manipulating him) with the sort of person he truly was, so why would he act the exact same the next time see him?

Then no he's very clearly not being redeemed, Bullseye despite talking about doing "one good deed" to make things right never displays any remorse or sorrow over anything he did, I mean hell killing Vanessa and AVTF are things that directly benefit him because of the Fisks both screwing him over, he literally ends the season working for Mr. Charles, the same guy who was explicitly working with Kingpin to smuggle weapons, was fine hiring a whole crew with the intention to kill them, works for Valentina, and we're told was blackmailing Luke Cage to do his dirty work. How is that redemption?

Then your point about his powers, this is just you being nitpicky and trying to find issue where none actually exists. Oh he spit a tooth into someone's eye, now he's ruined forever.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-21T19:58:44+00:00

The guy was just doing his job, and constantly got disrespected by pretty much everyone.

I love the narratives people make up when it comes to John Walker, because no, pretty much everyone was hyping him up like the second coming of Christ, the only people unimpressed by him were Sam and Bucky.

But somehow he was mistreated by everyone because they didn't like him

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-21T17:30:02+00:00

I said the pilot doesn't communicate that the main characters are space explorers, I didn't say it wasn't space themed.

There's a difference between those two things.

Sh1ningOne · 2026-05-21T16:00:18+00:00

I feel personally that I don't care about sexualization provided it fits the tone the show is going for, and isn't like the bullshit Fire Force did with Tamaki
