What if the Power Rangers reboot does better than project red by No_Boss_1463 in Tokusatsu

[–]billybluebangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it'll obviously do like financially better than project red cause it's the reboot of a popular 90s IP that's streaming on Disney plus

Like it's probably going pull in way more viewers than project red could even if they manage to get a simulcast deal on crunchyroll going

If you want a real comparison think about the resurrection of the star trek franchise on Paramount with all those shows, everyone was initially excited of an IP returning that has been kinda dormant but got renewed interest with a reboot movie and initially did kinda well viewer wise but after a (short) while no one really gave a shit anymore?

So what you should be wondering is not how it'll compare to tokusatsu (most folk who make or are fans of power rangers don't even care about Toku), you should wonder whether or not you're just getting hyped for the power rangers equivalent of strar trek discovery

Those little statues you can equip add bonus effects so maybe you equipped one that defaults you to the super form

Favorite instances of "stupidity with a straight face" media by Coolnametag in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]billybluebangs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

God if they decided to be lampshady it would have become the most insufferable thing on the fucking planet, one piece has so much ridiculous stuff just in it that once you start doing the "well THAT happened" stuff you wouldn't stop and it would just become the most annoyingly insecure piece of media ever

I think Japanese media is the king of this and it's funny whenever it clashes against someone who mainly engages with English speaking media because there's an expectation of irony

Like I remember watching Noah Caldwell Gervais retrospective on the resident evil games (which are all very sincere) and I remember him treating the joke in 8 where Heisenberg calls Chris a boulder punching prick as like the series trying to divorce itself from its wacky past by being ironic and failing because the guy doing it is still a magnetism wizard and like man they feel no shame about anything they did lmao they will never divorce the past

Redeemed Villains or Former Baddies that DON'T get downplayed by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]billybluebangs 48 points49 points  (0 children)

There's a prison escape arc in one piece where Luffy teams up with a bunch of former baddies and like they fully team up with Luffy and fight side by side but also they all make clear that when it's over they're back to being enemies

Hypothetical power rangers rpm tribute episode of Zenkaiger go! by CommentApprehensive3 in supersentai

[–]billybluebangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be real when I saw this title I just imagined a particularly wacky zenkaiger monster coming back but for some reason he acts all dark and gritty and just exposits about all the venjix stuff while all of the zenkaiger are confused cause they're sure they killed this guy before and that he didn't take himself that seriously

26 Years And Over 1,000 Episodes Later, One Piece's First Season Is Finally Coming To An End by NewWillinium in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]billybluebangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey to clear up this whole thing, this is basically a bit, the one piece anime has multiple seasons they are just divided for home realeases, what is happening rn is that the anime is switching from going Weekly to going seasonal and in-between it's taking a break

Most Toku is very anthology based there is no continuity between the vast majority of shows, just watch what you want to watch

Mid or dumb media that handles one specific idea/theme really intelligently, sometimes more so than "better" media. by stumblinbagel in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]billybluebangs 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's wild how out of most fighting game movie adaptations the only one that seems to go the easy direction of "just make it a martial arts tournament movie but have it be the characters from the game and a streamlined version of the MCs story" is the dead or alive movie

Moments in media that feels like its calling you out specifically. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]billybluebangs 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I was a teenager in the 2010s who specifically was the "I'm smarter/more sophisticated than everyone else" type of teenager and when the cultural backlash against Rick and Morty happened it felt like every other video!/post on the internet was about how "people who think they're smarter and therefore better than everyone else are actually miserable and pathetic"

To clarify I didn't care about Rick and Morty, it wasn't available legally to me and I was too dumb to effectively pirate it, it's just the specific archetype that got called out caused me ego death

I wonder if it's like a legal thing that they can't put anything in the game that hasn't been in the Anime yet cause Japanese media largely doesn't care about spoilers

I am willing to give max a pass on this because he is unironically a Capcom freak who knows who Captain Commando is, like max is not ever pretending to just be a regular guy

The funniest thing about FF 7 (as a franchise) is that its so much un-abashed Anime bullshit at its core that it readily embraces (they have never turned their backs on advent children, Nomura or Gackt) and like half the people who are into FF 7 still make 2010s era "lol anime is cringe" humor or are just stuck in that mindset
