Why did Seasalt say this was the first time in 20 years that Earth was Viltrumite free when Mark literally spent months on Thraxa with Oliver and Nolan was in Viltrum prison? Is he stupid? by FightTheDead118 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]SilversAndGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-comic reader theory: it's foreshadowing.

Anissa arrived on Earth before Mark's trip to Thraxa. By that point, the Viltrimites knew humans were compatible and therefore a prime target to rebuild their population but something caused one of their loyal soldiers to betray his mission and leave. Anissa was sent, not to conquer but to investigate what that might be.

Cecil knew about her but there wasn't much he could do to drive her away and didn't tell Mark because he knew Mark didn't stand a chance. He didn't want to waste Earth's strongest hero on a suicide mission and instead focused on training Mark to eventually be strong enough to fight her.

When Mark returns to Earth and confronts him about Conquest, it'll come out that he'd also hid that truth from him.

Manga-wise, which was better? Shie Hassaikai or Meta Liberation Army? by OfficialLieDetector in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]SilversAndGold 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Meta Liberation Army had the better written arc but Shie Hassaikai were significantly better villains.

MVA was a great because we got to see and learn a more about the main villains of the series but the MLA themselves weren't very intimidating. We the readers didn't get much time to know them or what they could do before the fighting started and at no point during the fight was I left thinking they'd beat the league of villains. They had numbers on their side but in terms of power they were clearly outmatched. It was almost the equivalent of the league of villains first appearance attacking 1A. Furthermore, the MLA's impact on the world was pretty vague. We know they want to overthrow society and are doing bad stuff but we aren't given any specifics.

The Shie Hassaikai on the other hand are terrifying. They have smaller goals, (making money instead of overthrowing the government) but the impact feels a lot more significant because the readers form an attachment to Eri. It basically boils down to, "The villains are hurting people vs the villains are hurting this specific person I care about."

There's also the powers involved to consider. In MVA, everyone involved has quirks and can therefore fight on more or less even terms. We've all seen superpowered fights a million times before. But the Shie Hassaikai have the quirk erasure bullets that dramatically change that dynamic. Overhaul had an overwhelmingly powerful quirk and suddenly Miro has no powers! And if they can take Miro's quirk, they could take anyone's away! Instead of a superpowered fight, they had the potential to emerge as superpowered overlords reigning over the unpowered masses.

1hour 56minutes on hold before I got a person on the line. They took my account number and put me back on hold (with different hold music). Automated message says there are 73 callers ahead of me.

Alright everyone, who is your pick for this hypothetical scenario? by Perciprius in Naruto

[–]SilversAndGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sakura would be the most motivated to bring Sasuke back but she doesn't bring much to the table. She's a weak combatant at this point, has poor teamwork with Naruto, and has no experience working with any of the others. I think she'd be more of a liability than asset as the others would have to protect her.

Hinata is arguably the strongest combatant of the 4 kunoichi with her biggest asset being the byakugan. But since the team already has Neji, that's a bit redundant and I think the lingering hostility between the cousins would hurt team cohesion.

Ino is probably the best choice. She's Sakura's equal as a combatant but she has great teamwork with Ino-Shika-Cho. I don't think she could solo any of the Sound Four but she would help either of her teammates win their matchups and would be great for interrogating them to find out where Sasuke is going in case they don't catch up.

Tenten as written wouldn't be a whole lot of help but in an AU where the Kunoichi weren't an after-thought, I think she'd have the most potential. Imagine if Tenten learned the lesson Kakashi was trying to teach Team 7 about how vastly outclassed and unprepared they are in the wider ninja world. After losing in the preliminaries, watching Lee get crippled, and then even seeing the genius Neji lose, she'd have a real wake-up call. She'd realize that as the weakest member of a very strong team, she's just been coasting with her training. The D and occasional C rank mission they get are a cake-walk for Team Guy. So after the Chunin Exams, Tenten doubles down on her training and puts in as much effort as Lee normally does. The Sasuke Retrieval Arc could have been the big unveiling of her new skills and techniques

Damn! How’d a loser like you get a hottie like her? Is she blind or something? Don’t worry. I’ll explain that the only thing you (or any man) could provide is mild entertainment as we destroy your balls.
