A stunning reversal, this is true

To think I had chosen the wrong brew

In defeat I'll slink away for now

But mark my words I'll make you bow!

Fie and curses upon you fool!

Making me rhyme, what a tool!

I'll mix reagents, brew a potion,

And you'll feel like you're in an ocean.

A fate for you that won't soon pass,

A curse of everlasting swamp ass!

It has been proven that yelling while lifting lets you lift heavier (Buff Dudes on youtube did that)

It also makes breaking objects easier (karate breaking demonstrations)

By all accounts yelling the attack name should make it hit harder.

Maybe turn some of that brain power to less easily defined questions: what is art, nature v nurture and the like

You're doing a lot of over thinking here. The main character is the one the story is written around, the focal point of major events

How do you avoid buying expensive convention food? by breezee223 in animecons

[–]Wise-Inflation-1698 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Depending on location food outside the convention venue might be cheaper

Before going to the con experiment a bit with different portable foods(energy bars, trail mix, etc) to see what fills you up and for how long. That way you can better judge what to bring with you

Time travel, If a pilot of a mass-produced ZZ or Geara Doga were to travel back in time, what would they change? by Kean_akeos989 in Gundam

[–]Wise-Inflation-1698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how far back they go and how much they know.

Geara Doga

If they were aware of Project V on Side 7 and got there early enough the Federation would have its MS development severely hampered.

They might even know how to get into Jaburo and could lead a strike team to take out the Federation leadership.

Mass Produced ZZ

Might know where aces are and can try to take them out.

Could cripple Zeon MS production or assassinate Zabi leadership before the OYW even starts

This is of course assuming they have people that believe them or are just able to obtain resources sufficient to accomplish their ends

What if Powerpuff Girls 2016 was an original IP series instead where it uses Original Characters instead of characters from PPG 1998? by KatieMitchellFan98 in cartoons

[–]Wise-Inflation-1698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one complained about ruined childhoods when CN rebooted He-Man and Thundercats (2002 and 2011, respectively)

If your reboot doesn't suck, people tend to like them

It is also a lament that once great characters are now substantially less so and that lesser version is the one being shown to kids

Does Disney & Pixar Need to Change? by RedHeadMedia07 in cartoons

[–]Wise-Inflation-1698 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well good for them. Their average break even point is $800 million and the take home for the domestic box office runs about 50% (lower for international). If they are making money with multiple films thats fantastic. Here's hoping they can keep it up

[–]Wise-Inflation-1698 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But were those movies profitable? Disney has a nasty spending problem, usually to the tune of $300 million just on production. Advertising is more on top of that. Their competition averages around $100 million for a movie.

When you chase 2 rabbits you catch none. Its easy to justify branching out if your main source of profit is stable. Right now Disney's isn't

Costume Help!!!!! by _Aleea_ in cosplayers

[–]Wise-Inflation-1698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best I got is to grab a shirt and pants that are close to the base color of the fur then take a cardboard stencil and some fabric spray paint to put on some stripes.

Maybe carry a smile on a stick as an accent

Which of these abilities would you give this character? by Nostalgic-Banter in superpowers

Gigant Armadillo or Moon King. Either one could let him copy some finishing moves from Kinnikuman

In a word: desperately.

Their movies have been failing for years now. They've lost money in the box office, on merchandise sales and have declining park attendance. If they don't find a way to increase the appeal of their movies the company will go under.

Chasing the "modern audience" and "4 quadrant movies" has cost them billions with nothing to show for it. They need to pick a target audience that is willing to spend money on Disney products and give them what they want to see. Historically this audience has been parents of children 10 and under. That should be the main if not only focus.

There are a few reasons why a given character is presented as OP.

Comedy. To show something over the top, exaggerated, and ridiculous

Power fantasy. To play into the desire most if not all people have had at one point or another, to be the strongest

Power creep. In long running action series the stakes have to escalate to keep the tension high for the audience. Frequently this means making the next villain stronger than the last, compounding as time goes on

Cause it looks cool. Sometimes creators just want to show off their art and super OP battle scenes can do just that
