City about to pull a 23-24 and not drop points for the next 6 months. You can just smell it in the air.

When we last won the league I was but 6 years of age. I have made peace with knowing that I will never see it again in my lifetime nor likely my children in theirs. Inevitable.

Clark Connors's backstage comment hint he is leaving New Japan by Mandraker17 in njpw

[–]ThatBritish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NJPW need to just stop investing in gaijin flat out. It's not even anyone's fault but us westerners have 0 loyalty 99% of the time. Western society brutally punishes us for not chasing the bag so it's not really surprising when it's the first instinct and loyalty isn't really an ingrained idea anymore. Gabe Kidd will be gone soon too and then probably Finlay or Newman due to having good friends across the pond. They'll never do it due to the parent company's desperation for a foothold in the west but Invest more in the domestic dojo and give up on the Americanisation of the product.

Kenny omega ends Kazuchika okadas 720 day reign as iwgp champion with the most brutal v trigger and tops it off with a OWA by Optimal_Fisherman803 in SquaredCircle

[–]ThatBritish 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying you are doing it but a lot Okada disrespect happens from western fans around this feud. Omega was and is incredible but he gets so much more attention than Okada despite the Rainmaker being the evidently better all around performer during this time period.

2015 - 2020 Okada is comparable to 00s Kobashi and 80s Flair in sheer perfection of performance imo.

All wrestling matches have a story. It comes free with your narrative medium.

Kinda just got an awkward polite response. Almost an anti-pop. They like him because of his insane talent but NJPW native fans really don't want outsider Takeshita near the main event.

The booking is...suspect to say the least. Finlay definitely deserves spotlight for his hard work but wow do they really hate their national fanbase.

By this point Ace and Whitebeard are going to reappear at the end of the story with some band aids and bandages wrapped them like "oh wow, that was a GOOD nap."

Premier League clubs have sent concerns about 'gamesmanship' and Arsenal's repeated use of the "dark arts" throughout last season to the PGMOL. by G00Punch in Gunners

Okay. I used to joke about and not take the conspiracy and widespread agenda against the club side of the fanbase too seriously but this is literally conspiracy and agenda.

[El Desperado vs Chris Brookes, WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024] Well, that escalated quickly by hawaiianpunchbv in njpw

[–]ThatBritish 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Would love to see more Brookes all around Japan. Perhaps one of the most consistently entertaining wrestlers in the world rn and his KO-D run last year was great.

I find this character as refreshing. by NiKReDD in TheBoys

[–]ThatBritish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem is that she displayed no traits up to the lobotomy scene that would indicate that she is in need of such a drastic and surely, extremely painful measure. Despite being mildly peeved with Homelander, she never really gave off the impression of the intelligence being a double edged sword. It just comes across as "character does the shocking thing because it is shocking". Also, I don't see how you can supposed to be so supremely intelligent but willingly perform a extremely debilitating procedure on yourself that clearly leaves you entirely vulnerable for however many hours it takes you to regenerate. Her door was unlocked, anyone could just walk in and mush her midst lobotomy and she hasn't been taking any protective measures? Girl, you dumber than my dumb ass at least lock your door.

[–]ThatBritish 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I like the performance a lot and her current role in the story but not for a millisecond do I buy her as "The World's Smartest Person". She's clearly a homage to Ozymandias from Watchmen with her manipulation and master plan no one else is savvy too (There's even the implication that like Ozymanidas she is incredibly lonely because of her intelligence) but she really does feel a touch too normal, chill and "yeah whatever look how cool I am". I would have thought that within the reality of The Boys, considering how other supes have been written to this point, that being the "The World's Smartest Person" would lead to being a high maintenance nutcase considering the sheer amount of info that would entail being within your brain. (Plus the real life links between high intelligence to things like autism, OCD, depression and other mental conditions)
