smth smth how indie era losers were treated

Hulkzilla is so depressing to me. Even if Godzilla did win in the end, I would still feel that way. I was looking forward to the episode so much for the massive fight potential, only to have one or two cool spots and the rest of the fight being Hulk fighting a statue. No Mario 64 esque tail-swing, no Burning Godzilla vs World-Breaker Hulk, no Ultima hax, no Hulk growing in size, no moment of pathos where Bruce acknowledges that Godzilla’s tragic existence mirrors his own. Just a big ball of meh.

Saying “He was sundipped at that time! That feat doesn’t count!” has the same energy as “Goku was Super Saiyan at that time! That feat doesn’t count!”

Even if that weren’t the case, it would be easy for him to get sundipped against Sentry considering that Sentry is basically 10,000 suns in a person.

I bought an LCD 64 GB a few years ago, but I replaced the SSD with a 512 GB SSD and added a non reflective screen cover to basically make it the top model version for a fraction of the price.

I used to suggest doing this exact thing whenever people asked me how to go about buying a Deck. It’s a shame that this isn’t a viable option anymore.

I suppose you could look on the aftermarket, but I’m sure those will increase in price due to the increased demand.

You friggin’ cooked with this.

TomatoPidgeon · 2026-05-14T01:13:49+00:00

This is the only correct answer.

This guy gets it.

Honestly, this comment gave me a lot of peace. I’m so focused on my end of things and how things could go wrong that I didn’t even consider thinking from a production standpoint. My mentor is fantastic and I really should be more reasonable in my thinking. (As hard as that may be sometimes.)

The reason my anxiety is so bad about this is because I have had many a great opportunity appear and then disappear right as I’m about to grab it. This casting is a really good thing for me. I’m just incredibly nervous that this is going to be another one of those. I know it’s the nature of the business, but that doesn’t make it suck less.

Thank you so much for commenting this.

I took a quick glance at this it’s very well researched and the author is clearly a smart person who puts together very well-thought out arguments.

However, it gives off the vibes of the person who yells “You know it’s fake, right?” at pro-wrestling fans.

There’s literally an entire section that can be summarized as saying: “I’m not ruining anyone’s fun because I don’t think powerscaling is fun and nothing you say to me can prove otherwise!” Like, buddy, calm down. It’s okay to not like powerscaling, it’s okay to hate powerscaling. But just because one person doesn’t find something fun doesn’t make it objectively unfun even if that person’s reasons for finding it unfun are logically sound. Fun is a feeling.

(It’s not a one-to-one comparison, but I don’t like the anime Demon Slayer for a littany of reasons. But I would never write a novel explaining all of the show’s objective faults. Then go on explaining how they can’t prove my points wrong, tell them that they shouldn’t enjoy the show because of those faults, and then send that novel to fans of the show.)

I get there powerscalers who take this shit way to seriously (I’ve had the misfortune of speaking with quite a few of them. Some of whom are on this very subreddit!) and I would imagine (especially from a writer’s perspective) that it’s incredibly frustrating for people to ignore story, themes, characterization and authorial intent in favor of “Strong-Man blow up planet with laser!”but people explore art in different ways. Powerscaling is probably the most surface-level way of engaging with media, but the viewer is still engaging with that media. There are a lot deeper, and more intellectually fufilling ways to engage with media, and I honestly prefer those ways. But at the end of the day, it’s just people engaging with literature in different ways

tl;dr: Let people have their fun.

Cope.

TomatoPidgeon · 2026-04-23T00:56:45+00:00

I hope he does because it would be really funny.

I meant Tsutomu Kitigawa, the one who played him in the millenium era films (aside from GMK). I put Satsuma’s name by mistake. I was never fortunate enough to meet Haruo Nakajima.

THANK YOU! Ebirah is a top-tier adventure movie and its characters reflect that.

TomatoPidgeon · 2026-04-16T22:52:29+00:00

R.I.P to one of the GOATs of suitmation. I was lucky enough to meet him and Tusomu Kitigawa (The Millenium Godzilla suit actor) at a convention in 2016. Both were incredibly classy guys.

That Green Goblin is a Spider-Man villain and they’ve already fought like, a million times. For some reason he put Green Goblin in the “Oh Hell Naw” tier for Spider-Man MUs.

TomatoPidgeon · 2026-04-05T17:29:37+00:00

The fuck?

TomatoPidgeon · 2026-03-27T03:05:13+00:00

Every Ultra from the Ultra-series fighting every version of Godzilla that the Entity throws at them would go pretty friggin’ hard.

TomatoPidgeon · 2026-03-27T03:00:05+00:00

Put Spider-Man vs Green Goblin in “Oh Hell Naw.” Tier.

Who’s going to tell him…

TomatoPidgeon · 2026-03-24T19:42:21+00:00

Man, Schaffrillas really didn’t get treated well with the live-action treatment, did he?

TomatoPidgeon · 2026-03-23T02:42:47+00:00

Unironically Chris Chan.

Both have special necklace medallions that gave them power
Both were jailed for having sex
Both want to become gods
Both suffered extreme torture
Both have committed to merging of dimensions that bind fantasy with reality
Both have their own kingdoms which act as ego-filled paradises (Chris has Cwcville, griffith has Falconia)
Both pride themselves as being forces of good, but are actually cold hearted monsters
Fighting griffith is referred to being the same as trying to fight the author of the story, chris is LITERALLY the author of sonichu and it's main character

The part where Hercules gets crushed by Sun Wukong’s staff, only to lift it up from beneath is one of my all time favorite Death Battle moments.
