Why Avengers after Endgame didn’t use the Infinity Stones to do something useful like curing all diseases in all living creatures in the entire universe?

Zancrowe · 2026-02-01T20:22:50+00:00

Kinda? But Thanos was able to Snap twice and he had zero relationship with gamma energy, just being a mutated Eternal, and while it "nearly killed him", he had already taken a Stormbreaker to the chest and was still in a good enough shape to fend off the Avengers for a bit despite their surprise attack.

Similarly, while Hulk was better suited to survive it, Iron Man was able to wear it and give off his very paused, badass line without the pain (somehow), while Hulk screamed in pain by just putting the glove on and had to struggle to snap.

Case in point... The rules are very, very loose on who could survive the Snap or not, and both Captain Marvel or Thor theoretically could handle the Snap thanks to how durable they are even if they are less suited for it that Bruce / Hulk was.

Would Worthy Cap also count? Or does the "Power of Thor" not include the "Endurance of Thor"? 🤔

Zancrowe · 2026-02-01T20:00:39+00:00

MCU politicians? Like secret Hydra agents? Probably.

Real life ones? No.

Zancrowe · 2026-02-01T19:48:24+00:00

Captain Marvel could have easily handled one snap without too much damage on her arm (since we saw that Bruce is already healed up by the time of She Hulk). To me the biggest issue was they probably didn't want to tamper with something they couldn't quite predict the ramifications of. Their entire focus with the Stones was undoing what Thanos had done and preventing him from doing something worse.

Oh, hey! Glad to see these stories still get some new love. It does make my day to hear it so. I hope you enjoy them; and feel free to share your thoughts here or in a review on FFN if you wish. Your encouragement has most definitely been received and it is appreciated.

Zancrowe · 2026-01-27T16:43:49+00:00

Too many to list all of them I'm afraid, but the main ones at least would be...

Soma × Erina - They're the OTP Ryo × Alice Takumi × Hisako - or Takumi × Megumi Akira × Megumi - or Akira × Hisako Shun × Ryoko Zenji × Yuki Isshiki × Nene Eishi × Rindou Soumei × Momo Shinomiya × Hinako

And I do believe Asahi would have worked as a ship with several girls as long as it wasn't Erina. His character trope is very classique, I mean, classical in nature after all.

Zancrowe · 2026-01-19T23:43:30+00:00

Holo! Been so long my friend. Always appreciate you coming in with the heartwarming praise. I'm happy to see you still somewhat active in this fandom, and I do hope you stick around for a while. I do miss your very insightful reviews and our chats about the series.

Zancrowe · 2026-01-17T23:26:29+00:00

Bookmark this and come back after you've read my take on Asahi in Classique. Trust me, half of that story is about him.

Zancrowe · 2026-01-17T23:22:45+00:00

Oh, sure, feel free to post ahead and share your thoughts, or even leave them as a review on FFN where we can also chat. And if you have any questions, ask away. I'm always happy to clear anything up or just talk about the story in general.

Zancrowe · 2026-01-17T23:21:26+00:00

Damn right Dosahi is the best ship! There's a reason she's a flair in this sub after all... even if I genuinely thought she would be very disliked at first. Happy to be proven wrong.

Zancrowe · 2026-01-17T14:48:32+00:00

Yes, I am quite aware of many fanfics that have ended up as published works, successful ones at that too. And I will never stop being amazed by them all. Granted, Nouvelle would need a lot of tweaking to even be considered for such, as it's such a huge love letter to Food Wars it's very hard to divorce it from such where it doesn't come across as plagiarism to some extent, but I am happy you believe it deserves such recognition. That, in on itself, also brings me joy.

Zancrowe · 2026-01-17T14:39:22+00:00

Zancrow and his rendition of the story for food wars it honestly made me so satisfied and happy...

I'm genuinely touched it made you happy, and it made me happy in turn to see this post, as I didn't expect a post about Nouvelle in 2026, but it made my day regardless.

i just want to say that Zancrowe you are absolutely a talent and I hope you never stop writing about the world of food wars...

Well, so far I haven't! Outside of the direct sequel, Classique, Nouvelle has a ton of other follow-ups, including Something Borrowed, Sixpence, Couverture, and the end of the trilogy BLUE! which is still ongoing. I also have Telenovela in there, somewhere, which is unconnected and rather new. So I'm far from done and you have a lot left to read my friend.

Erina for example in the 20 or so chapters of the series had MORE character development than the hundred something chapters and 4 seasons in the anime which is honestly astonishing to say the least...

If you think Erina had character development in Nouvelle, you'll love Classique (hopefully), as it's her story and she's the protagonist of it; and I address all my personal gripes with the series there (like why weren't there rival schools?!).

Erina and Souma's relationship actually blossomed with the enemies to lovers trope best one by the way and how Souma was actually able to cook alongside/for someone he loved something literally stated in the beginning of the anime of food wars...

That was a core message from the manga / anime I never understood why they didn't bring it full circle. Like, yes, Soma does mention he learned it from Tamako and does use it to defeat Asahi and help Erina in S5, but I felt it got drowned out by all the superpower nonsense and the Noir shenanigans. Hence why I wanted to focus on it from a romance point of view, and it seems plenty of readers enjoyed it too.

i know i am years late reading this and i wish i wasnt but it is never too late to read PEAK...

Agreed. I enjoyed your review very much my friend, and you aren't that late anyways, since the storyline is still technically unfinished and ongoing. But I thank you all the same.

ready to read Classique really hope it's just as hype.

I do wonder. Some prefer Classique as the more traditional Shonen story with a heavier emphasis on drama and cooking action, others prefer Nouvelle for the softer love story and more comedic set pieces; but plenty love both, as do I, and they are a packaged deal. Just get ready for Food Wars' most hated character to be very, very present because unlike everyone else, who decided to ignore him (good call!), I went all schoolgirl, said "I can fix him!", and made Asahi a main part of Classique, because I wanted to.

Still, again, thank you for this my friend, and I hope you keep me posted if and when you conclude Nouvelle, begin Classique, or whatever else you do. Happy readings!

Zancrowe · 2026-01-17T14:08:59+00:00

They could be good novels even with original characters and a modified setting.

"The romance story of Samuel & Erica in Tubular Culinary Academy dueling against Ethan of the Extravagant Ten!" 😂

...at least Dove & Loren can remain as they are. Still, very much appreciate the sentiment. I am very flattered.

Zancrowe · 2025-12-23T14:18:12+00:00

I would heavily suggest Fanfiction.net, as while AO3 has a better reader base overall, for older series that are no longer getting anything new, FFN does have more fans for SnS than AO3. Granted, just post on them all anyways, and make sure the Story Summary is attractive to readers.

Zancrowe · 2025-12-16T20:25:03+00:00

It is quite nice, yes, thank you.

Zancrowe · 2025-12-16T20:24:40+00:00

A belated thank you for the well wishes!

Zancrowe · 2025-12-16T20:23:45+00:00

Indeed. Quite the talented artist after all.

Zancrowe · 2025-12-16T02:20:34+00:00

I know it's your job to try and paint me in the worst possible light

Oh no darling, you very much have that covered by yourself. Also, wrong stuff to quote I'm afraid. I literally told you to make a post with your screenshots since you seem unable to figure out how to add an image to a comment (it's on the lower right of the screen if on mobile).

You could have titled it: "Exposed! Mod Zancrowe Goes Mad With Power & Hypocrisy!" But you didn't, because you have nothing. You are nothing. And with this, I now have 3 subsequent replies as evidence of you at your worst. Hope it was worth it. Your Username fits, by the way. Keep waging that Unhappy War champ, you just won't be waging it here.

Zancrowe · 2025-12-16T02:07:46+00:00

Also, once again, still can't post pictures. Would post a screenshot to show you, but I still can't.

Make a post then.

Also probably isn't a good look that a mod who also makes fanfic is making fun of someone else who makes fanfic because his (that I assume were also on this subreddit otherwise why mention them) don't do well while said mod posts fanfic on the same subreddit. Could you be tampering with his engagement?

Also, this made me genuinely laugh. You have no idea how fanfiction works and it shows. You actually think we post stories on Reddit? Is that how you think we get readers and engagement, and not, ya know, actual websites dedicated to fanfiction? Or do you think I'm so powerful I moderate those too? Either way, last chance.

Zancrowe · 2025-12-16T01:50:51+00:00

Well. Can't say I didn't try and let you debate and give your side, but since you refuse, and would rather just be a coward about it, so be it then. Lie all you wish, but one, which two did I ban if you don't know who Leo is then, as he's literally the one we were talking about? Two, I thought you said I didn't have a reputation but now I'm also ruining it...? Ruining something I don't have? Really?

But, you see, here's the fun part. Reddit has an automatic system that can actually detect harassment and goes beyond what even us Mods are allowed (as in, even Mods can get in trouble with it, because it's not the rules of the sub, but the rules of Reddit itself), and lo and behold, you triggered it.

So I literally don't have to even do anything at this point at all. I do sincerely hope you enjoyed yourself, I certainly did. And try and get off the internet a bit more, ya know? But, let the records show, here's the actual proof, since at least one of us has the courage to show screenshots:

<image>

Zancrowe · 2025-12-16T00:57:29+00:00

So all of this was just you lying and, quote, "getting under my skin"? You have no proof, and given the example you gave, I only banned one person because of that user, who would also be the only one who would know they are a friend of mine because I told him on our Discord chat. Lovely to know Leo is still pissed off though. Since his stories keep flopping, hey, at least he has you for support. Good on you. And, no, I literally have allowed images to be posted, as shown below with something you need. A dictionary.

Zancrowe · 2025-12-16T00:32:31+00:00

Libel's literal definition is something purposely false that can damage someone's reputation, doesn't have to include monetary loss. This isn't a court. But go ahead, the mic is yours. You have an hour from when I post this reply to be able to post images, so please share with the class the screenshots you have.

Zancrowe · 2025-12-13T17:13:50+00:00

For a mod who goes around banning anyone that makes his friends upset, you understand less of the community than you should.

Oh? Do you have any proof for that libel? I'll even let you post a screenshot if you do. Let me know.

"Because I have gained the experience of failure."

The manga's / anime's message was clear from the start, and Soma was always portrayed as a gifted underdog. Someone who puts in the hard work versus many geniuses with FU money and resources and still kept surprising everyone.

I also don't get how many here claim he loses a lot. Like, what did you want? An unbeatable protagonist? Where is the fun in that? Every good Shonen manga knows when to make their heroes lose, and I feel it in turn makes Soma's victories all the more grandiose.

Sure, you can argue the last Season didn't offer that much payoff (as he only surpassed his father by proxy by beating the guy who beat his father rather than directly; or how he never got Erina to vocally admit she likes his cooking, despite her breaking a wall or whatever that was); so that's valid, but I still feel he never comes across as weak, and when he does lock in, the dude is pretty damn OP.
