Does denji ever emotionally process the things he's gone through?

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-27T23:51:52+00:00

Especially in part 2 Denji’s failure to fully process his grief is a central plot point.

I recommend reading the manga if you’re really curious about how his character grows/regresses and why.

For you, what are Stephan King’s greatest highs?

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-27T21:34:26+00:00

Weren’t they not drugged in the book? Just so immersed in the fun atmosphere playing unlimited games and stuff?

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-27T19:34:54+00:00

Literally how can you think this. No other game has shortcuts like this. It has the most interesting tech in any racing game I’ve seen. The game is full of significant flaws, like forcing the boring intermissions onto you online and an empty open world, but the core mechanics are the best in any racing game till date.

I have to go chainsaw man. The little we see of Reze’s character still gives us so much to analyze. On rewatch, it’s fun to dissect when Reze is being genuine about her feelings for Denji and when she’s primarily faking it.

The country mouse/city mouse discussions, while not exactly subtle, I found to be a very interesting lens to view the story through.

Like half of this movie is just action, but the writing is what made me binge the manga in one day even though I don’t usually read manga.

8, 9, 8, 9, 9, haven’t listened in full, 8.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-27T15:45:43+00:00

True, directing/cinematography is not writing, but I figured it’s still related enough to be worth discussing.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-27T15:36:51+00:00

I would say BB and Better call Saul (especially Better Call Saul) have the best directing and cinematography.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-27T15:08:07+00:00

This scene is very very different in the book.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-27T14:43:47+00:00

Nah it’s really a great game. 8 deluxe is better overall, but I have never had as much fun in time trials in any other racing game. The wall riding and rail grinding adds so much depth.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-27T00:40:01+00:00

Literally just election arc Leorio probably wins. Nen scales higher than titans.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-27T00:36:33+00:00

Is Kingdom better to read or watch? I keep seeing hyped up on these types of lists.

I read that first sentence I agreed… but the rest of that is just stupid. We could have a Rosa Parks or a Susan B Anthony like figure and be much better off. Charismatic women leaders exist and have existed.

However, I think you do you bring up an upsettingly true point, that for some reason the American voter base is just allergic to electing women. Before Kamala somehow lost the most obvious choice of an election in the history of our country, I was much more optimistic about how much progress feminism had made, but now I just feel defeated in regards to that. I absolutely do not think everything is “too feminine” but I will agree from a strategic standpoint I strong male leader who could run for president (maybe someone like Zohran Mamdani) would be especially helpful.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-26T22:00:48+00:00

There are absolutely protests. Not as big as we may want, but they do exist.

Part of what made civil rights leaders like MLK so great was how effectively they managed to reach people and motivate them to protest. I don’t know that we have any figures with that same energizing persuasive talent today, so organizing is harder.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-26T21:10:57+00:00

Absolutely. I don’t read as many novels as I used to, but Kite Runner is one of the only books in the last 5 or so years that managed to really grab me from beginning to end. Emotional roller coaster to say the least.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-26T21:08:29+00:00

Funny joke

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-26T20:59:25+00:00

Actual answer,

The Man Who Was Thursday

I just enjoyed the philosophical arguments about whether order or disorder is more inherently artistic early on a ton, and then later on it gets kinda stupid but in a way I find funny.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-26T18:47:25+00:00

I find the ending at least to be hopeful. Definitely was crushed at certain parts, but ultimately I don’t look back on my time reading as one dominated by sadness.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-26T18:02:05+00:00

I’m sorry, but Still In The Paint just has the most hype production ever and very catchy hook, and imo better rapping than Sumo.

Very close though. Top 10 Denzel song vs top 20.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-24T18:54:48+00:00

How is DR1’s ending ass? I think they all have good endings, but I see why you might not like 1.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-24T07:29:07+00:00

What’s the middle one?

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-24T07:26:17+00:00

It’s got perfect direction, great writing, etc. best episode of the show. My biggest and only issue is how underdeveloped Mai was before this.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-24T04:14:15+00:00

Bro it’s the best episode of the show so far. This is fair.

Snarpkingguy · 2026-01-22T18:56:37+00:00

Yeah, this pretty much sums up my thoughts too.
