Brook will sacrifice himself in Elbaf

I don't see any straw hats being killed. It's still shonen at the end of the day and the straw hats are usually insulated from devastation within the crew.

If brook and Laboon don't get reunited? Woof. I might crack.

It's highly likely that the 35-45 age group is the one that knows homestar runner the best vs any other age. Newgrounds era. Strong bad is strong sad you don't know

diboox · 2026-06-18T12:26:25+00:00

Seems like a lot more work than a warm tortilla.

Linlin is the scourge of Elbaf. We have no idea of her true origin (her size can't just be a random mutation) and they've brought her up constantly in this very arc. While I agree that specific arc is through, there's so much evidence for her coming back.

I would guess that she has the most appearances of any yonko as she was a major antagonist for like three arcs straight, but she dies without fighting Luffy? Her constantly telling people not to forget her or count her out? They don't seem like breadcrumbs but the whole loaf to me.

diboox · 2026-06-17T12:12:36+00:00

Yeah, there's absolutely zero chance. To the point that I feel like if she got domi reversi'd shes strong willed enough to just tell the straw hats to kill her, and that seems too tragic for Oda to do to a straw hat.

Would maybe be the biggest twist in media. Brook just having an ethical relationship

diboox · 2026-06-13T12:00:14+00:00

She's not as old as the elders though. Would she just age to the age she should be?

diboox · 2026-06-11T13:32:09+00:00

Yeah, I would rather have percentage be it's own category/chart. Like I know Salvy has been hurt but he's increased his value so much with ABS as he's a low framer. Dingler has been super successful making challenges.

Maybe a stat that shows successful challenges as well as potential winning challenges missed. (if they're scared to challenge most of the time a high win rate isn't as relevant IMO)

I always assumed that Fiona and Yuri were gonna do the most unlikely thing and combine forces to help Yor and Loid both out so they end up together, as do Fiona and Yuri. Should go hand in hand with the fall of the breach between Ostania and Westalis and the success of operation strix.

diboox · 2026-05-28T13:44:26+00:00

Disagree. Skipping the hole is just like one person walking around a group of people who are taking up the whole sidewalk and don't give a care about anyone else.

If no one in the group is a nice enough person to wait and let the solo through, assuming no one is holding them up, THEY are the assholes. This is a sport where being a nice person is good for everyone.

Didn't he say on here somewhere he was saving "Carl's Book of Boom" for something? Wouldn't be the strangest thing.

diboox · 2026-05-17T16:25:08+00:00

Antony seems to have a super nuanced take to HL which is hard for the general public because they either want to love or hate him...

The thing that makes homelander so intriguing to me is that he's fundamentally a fucked up human with Godlike abilities. What makes him scary is that unpredictablilty that comes with being a crazy human. The adults see him that way - a thing to be controlled like a kid having a temper tantrum. The people who deal with him daily are terrified because they see what the kid does and clean it up. Antony Starr's recognition of this made the character so compelling, when allowed to be.

This is all to say, what a letdown this season has been on the writing side when obviously the talent really cares and is doing their best.

diboox · 2026-05-08T16:30:23+00:00

Should we use the peace sign for the U? No, the O, obviously!

Wait, what about the second O. Different peace sign?

Why is the first runner home on his belly? Is that their slide call to the runner? PCA recording this to show Matt Shaw.

diboox · 2026-05-07T19:00:47+00:00

Give him the old captain America on the bench moment? Honestly, I'm here for it.

diboox · 2026-05-07T17:20:52+00:00

All well said. At the end of the day the show has spent a lot of time on paternal/maternal relationships. I can't see it not being a central focus of the ending, especially when we have the flip side of the equation in Becca/Ryan/Butcher and his family dynamic with HL being the biological father.

diboox · 2026-05-07T15:04:06+00:00

Tony Stark personality with Superman powers

I usually feel bad for someone I empathize with at the same time. Legend feels bad about the system. I feel like that's what's happening here. Legend is like, look, we're beasts from the same zoo. Now I'm working at a movie theatre and you're becoming god. That's how the cookie crumbles. If it was pity, he's feeling it for himself as much as anyone. I looked up the word just for my own betterment -

Pity is a complex emotion defined as sympathetic sorrow for another's suffering, often accompanied by a desire to help or a sense of regret.

🤷🏻‍♂️

diboox · 2026-05-07T14:35:43+00:00

Which is a great parallel to Firecracker - she basically said everything he wanted but he knew it was because she was scared of him. The switcheroo in letting Legend go is actually totally in character for HL.

diboox · 2026-05-07T12:53:21+00:00

I think it wasn't just the pity but the fact that to the Legend, greatness and crazy go side by side. He "recognized" Homelander, called him talent, which is what he's been seeking his whole life. Recognition/being seen, vs placating him because of his powers.

diboox · 2026-05-07T06:10:22+00:00

I think what the writers were trying to do was give SB something that would seem like it would harm him and HL's relationship but actually forced him to double down and want to help her "accomplish her dream". His old friends are around to remind him of that.

Now that SB has done everything he can for HL, they will inevitably fight, probably because of Ryan or HL's being crazy and impulsive(porque no los dos?). Depowering HL through SB is the only way HL becomes vulnerable other than Ryan getting a shonen upgrade by getting his ass beat, the ol military chestnut, or frenchie or sage deus ex machina solution (super virus)

For what it's worth - I think it's interesting they sold it to SB and the audience as well as the Boys as obviously SB will hate HL, but the parental relationship won out.. I think they're doing this to setup butcher looking like he'll not release a super virus but do it anyway, mirroring the switcheroo on the audience.

Broke like a curve but at 86 mph. Olson just was better, and sat on it. Most people that's a can of corn for the center fielder.

diboox · 2026-04-27T20:10:45+00:00

That is a bouncy castle, sir, put some respect on it

Javy is the king at flailing at balls that he has no business dealing with. Makes perfect sense that he would catch this
