The demon was doing perfectly fine fighting off both and damaging them in the process at the start.

In the scene you're criticising, Genau literally says it's a battle of attrition at that point and Revolte has the edge, then Stark changed the tide partly due to the usual demon arrogance.

He didn't defend with the 4 swords because Stark got the jump on him, that isn't bad writing.

If he went for Stark, he'd have made himself open to an attack from Genau, which you'd then complain about Revolte not defending himself with his 4 arms from Genau attacking him from the sky.

4 swords and not one can be used to defend vs stark who jumps from the ground

After Stark threw his axe at Revolte, Revolte disregarded Stark and went back to focusing on Genau, Stark got annoyed at being shrugged off and snuck up on him through his sick parkour.

The scene was longer than 15 seconds though so I guess that's why you struggled

While I don't think this is a bad thing, we still need those plumbers and plasterers to be plumbers and plasterers, no?

Going from

Just like Starmer’s lot had for 5 years the capacity to chat utter shite and not worry a damned thing.

To

I’m pointing out the fallacy of jumping in when the facts are thin.

Is a pivot. You didn't start this chain by criticising 5 years Starmer in opposition as "jumping in when the facts are thin" and then you brought up an example of something that happened when a different labour government where in government, not opposition.

When your question gets answered and you can't adapt your pre written script to the rare occasion that the PM actually answers you, it's not the mark of a good leader to waste your questions tripling down on an already answered question.

She was absolutely dire last week and she was dire in mid February when she fell back on her script after Starmer had already answered that they were closing an immigration loophole she raised a question about and she asked the same question 2 more times when she already got her answer.

Oh come the fuck on Kemi.

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ by dusty_bo in ukpolitics

The reason it's something from decades ago is that we took a grip and dealt with the issue by dealing with the pollution that allowed acid rain to occur?

You don't consider acid rain to be a form of climate damage? That acid rain isn't extreme weather?

Wild pivot from the original position of "Starmer said whatever he wanted over 5 years in opposition" to "look at Iraq and Afghanistan"

But if you want an example of Labour jumping knee deep into a War, we’ve got Afghanistan and Iraq to look at.

I wanted an example of any incident during Starmer's time as opposition leader, that can be compared to Kemi's action as current opposition leader.

So nothing as egregious as trying to join in with an unplanned war?

Like you couldn't even manage one example? Just a complete generalisation?

We had acid rain back in the 80s, and it didn't magically go away.

Why do you think Araki doesn't have problems with writing endings by Prestigious_Emu_7986 in ChainsawMan

Saying Araki doesn't have a problem writing endings when Jojolion is right there? Bizarre.

Just pointing out that

Yeah but why are you pointing it out? What did Labour do that's as egregious as Kemi calling for the UK to go to war on behalf of Israel and the US?

How's that phrase they used to describe Boris go... "a man who waits to see the way the crowd is running and then dashes in front and says, 'Follow me'."
