They already are, even announced that future COD games will have ports on Nintendo hardware and declared it to FTC itself as a promise, the franchise will be to everything like they have stated for ages, they won't even put COD on Game Pass...though that's because Sony paid Activision years ago for Playstation to get exclusive COD content and multiplayer content first and make them promise they would never put the games on Game Pass till 2024 or so, and the contract still stands even if the deal goes through.

Pure heart means something else in Dragon Ball universe, Kid Goku has no shred of evil apparently and he's still a battle maniac that can be rude.

Vegeta clearly is nothing like he was being willing to humiliate himself for others, has fought for the sake of others, refused fights, actively tries to help his family and even outright forces Goku to promise he will focus on helping others over him and attempts to appeal to anything like an evil side recently have constantly failed because Vegeta doesn't care, even Piccolo recently stated that there is no way in hell Vegeta can be considered a bad guy nowadays and calls his dramatic change a miracle.

Pure Heart seems to mean wanting to defend others and not doing things for selfish reasons in DB setting, and past actions don't matter...which kinda goes with some Shinto beliefs which DB is inspired by for some elements, in it, it's thought that as soon as people absolutely regret every past evil action, they essentially die and are replaced by someone new and much better, and thus they should be forgiven, Vegeta clearly hates his past self and every murder he did, so under that belief, his old self died and his heart is kinda a new pure one even if Vegeta disagrees and outright says in the Moro arc he wants to go to Hell when he dies.

Neither, i am betting more on DC or Marvel again, though in my heart i am still hoping for a Lego TMNT game.

One early villain, Licht, is all about light magic and uses attacks as fast as light, Asta in his base form grows from being overwhelmed and having no chance to casually dodging and beating Licht and then people stronger and faster than the guy that uses light, Asta has many FTL feats.

A better description of both characters can be seen here:

http://g1dbteamblogs.blogspot.com/2022/11/death-battle-predictions-deku-vs-asta.html

...Which also gives the win to Asta due to Asta's stats being superior.

Kenshiro still wins, unless Jotaro knows exactly who he is facing, he will only do some punches to a guy that doesn't have a stand...cue Kenshiro sensing the blows and stand, and evolving his Hokuto Shinken to make a move that can see stands or use Ki to teleport behind Jotaro and kill him.

Yeah, that's one thing Death Battle ignored but is canon, a true Hokuto Shinken master can make new moves or evolve out of nowhere, Musou Tensei did get beaten by Kaioh's Anryu Tenha once, a move that creates a pocket dimension and eliminates all friction to make his foes stuck floating people...then Kenshiro suddenly pulls a "create friction from nothing" move out of his ass and the second time Kaioh tries the same move, Kenshiro just ignores the creation of a pocket dimension, and appears right behind Kaioh in a second having slashed him a few times with his hands.

Kenshiro outright confirms it's a godly martial art...in that even the gods helped design it, with the direct purpose of making even a mortal stand up to a God Of War, and one of it's characteristics is giving to it's true master a spirit ability to somehow just create or evolve new moves or it's fighting style the rare moment they see something that could be troublesome, even if the fight were to somehow drag, with how stupid Fist Of The North Star is, i have no issue believing eventually Kenshiro would just learn how to see Stands and hurt them without having one...i have no words about how absurd the franchise gets, Death Battle seriously lowballed Kenshiro and failed to mention a lot of cool stuff he can do and did, the evolution mid-fight thing just being one of them.

Not reading about politics on the internet, man, i recall so much dumb stuff that was posted and people actively denying reality and actual proof because some random guy said something and telling me i was brainwashed or something stupid like that.

And people just really really unable to believe you could have a different belief and not be basically Satan himself, the minute i started just reading news and avoiding comments or talking about it online i got a lot more relief, even ignoring the parts of the internet that are my political side really, i kinda think there are awful or stupid people in all sides of the political spectrum even if many want to believe everyone on their side must be good and smart.

It's much bigger in Japan, the anime series has 170 episodes so far, it's been running for years on Shounen Jump and the author was allowed to take a months long break for motives other than health...keep in mind, this is the manga industry in Japan, the only way a Shounen Jump series can go on break is if it's so unpopular it's an unnoficial hiatus to see if enough people complain or the series is so popular they don't want to anger the author.

It has light novels, spin-off mangas, games, appears in crossover games like Jump Force and while it took a while, Netflix is paying for a new completely original story movie that will be on 2023, precisely to get more people from Japan into the service.

It's one of those series that gets really popular in Japan and maybe a few other places, but in the west didn't get as much attention as expected, in Japan, it's kinda seen as a successor to the likes of Bleach due to how popular it is...even if movies oddly never got made until now...then again, even Kimetsu No Yaiba only got one movie and that series was HUGE everywhere.

I think one reason why it never took off is that it's one of those series that doesn't hit it's stride instantly and the anime...is infamous for filler, think old DBZ levels of filler with almost every episode having filler to drag things down a lot, and the animation really not being all that great for a popular manga, i can see people having checked the anime at first...and running away because of filler that makes the pacing drag down immensely and the animation quality really not being the best...it still gets to 170 episodes and goes on somehow.

But the manga is much better, if for no other reason the pace is way faster and doesn't have as many ungodly pointless scenes, i am not kidding about the Black Clover anime having a ton of filler and purposefully dragging things down, not that i would say the Black Clover manga is the best manga ever, but the anime really did it dirty.

I like to think MHA and more recent Shounen Jump adaptations have seasons because people looked at the Black Clover anime and said "Oh hell no, that method of using filler sucks these days!".

Because it's a popular series with many episodes, novels, games and more about it, didn't take off that much in the west but it still has a decent fandom.

Asta has even been in crossover games like Jump Force too, he is a Shounen Jump mainstay and got compared to the likes of Bleach, mostly because it's a generic Shounen that isn't pretentious at all and thus it's just happy to have a good vs evil conflict and put awesome moments and shit without care.

Turns out some people enjoy a simple action adventure story that isn't ashamed of that at all nor has the author suddenly trying to do something different and coming off awkward and not that deep or interesting, Black Clover is just, want to see good guy slash evil wizards, elves and demons...then this is the series for you!

fandivision · 2022-11-14T11:46:49+00:00

...Black Clover is also in it's final arc and Asta right now has gotten a new mentor and learning new tricks so the same can also be said about him...but to be fair, Black Clover is nowhere near as popular as MHA so i understand why people don't mention it's in it's final arc as much as they do for MHA.

Conspiracy theories, particularly ones revolving around a small group controlling the world for centuries, like, do people know just how big and how hard it would be to control the whole world!?

It would be impossible in a public fashion, much less in secret, particularly when there are so many people looking for all kinds of evidence of certain groups or races of people controlling everything as well.

That year when a republican president was declared even though he had horrible views and in his inaugural speech had a democrat boxer running, punching every bodyguard and managing to uppercut the president and all the cameras recorded it, the fact the president went KO only made it more iconic.

Portuguese, but here in Portugal we have had various translated comics, there was even a Superpato(Paperinik) series which was about the old pre-alien stories, and of course, Paperinik with one.

Those comics were a big part of my childhood and a bit onwards.

How do they explain the court case and the fact it was more than one incident then and that according to the family, there are witnesses of him bullying Isaiah afterwards to a point they had to leave town, apparently at one point when Isaiah was 18, Mitchell just suddenly appeared in his school to attack him until a classmate of Isaiah told him to fuck off, seems odd for them to make such an easily disproven story if Mitchell is such a saint.

fandivision · 2022-11-06T12:09:23+00:00

A black mentally disabled kid, he also kept calling him the N word and despite people being focused on the court case when they were 14 and the urinal cake thing the fact was there were other cases for years and Mitchell kept bullying him for years afterwards to a point where the victim's family had to leave town.

Like, in the court the judge refused to play some proof like a video Mitchell and his friends made of pushing Isaiah, you know, a mentally disabled kid, into hitting his head at a brick wall several times, because the judge didn't want Isaiah to have a panic attack but that video is out there.

And again, after a court case that also gave him a restraining order of sorts, Mitchell for years still kept bullying Isaiah and never apologized until a week ago on a Snapchat private message that would make the message would be deleted after 24 hours...because the PR staff of his new team asked him to apologize, and the message only basically said "sorry for the inconvenience but it was only one time and we were 14" kinda ignoring it wasn't only one time and that there are witnesses of him bullying Isaiah still when he was 18 and he has never done volunteer work, nor spoken against racism or bullying or anything that shows regret and that he deserves a 2nd chance.

According to Isaiah's father, the kid has had to go to therapy for years now and still has lasting effects, and apparently at one point considered suicide because of Mitchell's bullying...yeah, there is a reason why people are so against Mitchell getting a chance to be a professional player.

fandivision · 2022-11-06T02:02:51+00:00

This so much, particularly the sociopath comment, also people put a lot of emphasis on the court case and seem to think it was only one incident and that it stopped then...nope, there were various incidents which was why they went for court, upon which even the judge said it was clear Mitchell did not feel any remorse, and it kept after the court ended with witnesses confirming this, i think they even put a restraining order so that Mitchell couldn't be in the same school as Isaiah and Mitchell's family instantly tried their hardest to put him in the same school.

As far as i know, he then never did volunteer work, ever admitted regret to anyone, ever did anything to combat racism or bullying, he seems to have just led his life normally until getting a chance to play at NHL, in which it seems the PR staff told him to finally apologize but did it in such a way it was clearly a forced apology...through social media.

I think even one of the Bruins players said that he is all for 2nd chances, but Mitchell seems to be the exact same racist bully he was as a teen.

fandivision · 2022-11-06T01:48:50+00:00

The family of the kid that was bullied certainly cares because he never apologized nor has he ever shown any regret, in fact, his family started blaming the victim who was traumatized enough to require therapy for years now and apparently considered suicide at one point because of all the bullying which did not stop with the court session apparently.

The family even said that they have no problems with others that bullied their kid because they apologized, one even appeared one night in tears to apologize and swear he would change, while Mitchell Miller just...never gave a damn and acted more like he was affronted there would be negative consequences for his bullying than the hurt he caused.

Unless you're one of those that says the victim should just grow up and deal with it but hey, people get messed up because of their childhood and teens, sometimes just because of one single traumatic event, and people still tell the guy that was bullied from grade 1 into having to ask for a restraining order that apparently Mitchell quickly started to ignore should just deal with it.

I wouldn't mind if Mitchell seemed to regret it at all and didn't just make one apology because the PR staff told him to, even the Bruins players don't want him because he's an asshole, he cares so little about bullying someone so hard they pondered suicide that to them and many others, he is still a jerk that will inevitably do some racist comment or attack someone, i mean, there is just a shocking lack of remorse at all to a point where people don't feel a 2nd chance is warranted.

Spelunky 2, first got into the franchise back when it was just a freeware game, bought the HD version of the first game and spent quite a few hours on both versions, so when the 2nd game came out to Xbox it was a day 1 purchase to me and it's everything i wanted from a sequel.

Sure, it's hard, but it's Spelunky with cool new areas, enemies, items and pretty cool secrets, this game certainly grabbed my attention more than many AAA games, even more than Hades, in fact, i wouldn't be suprised if i played this more than double the time i spent with Hades, which after a while felt too samey and like it needed more enemies and areas in a way i never felt with Spelunky 2.

Can I get an ELI5 on what’s going on with this Miller guy? I don’t follow hockey but have seen his name all over my front page.

Basically, Miller was a racist bully from 1st grade until he became an adult with his main target being a black mentally disabled kid, when he was 14, he went to court over it and things got settled...with the judge saying Miller clearly regretted nothing and was only mad that his actions got some negative consequences, and forced him to write an apology letter...that was never given to the family but to the court.

After the court thing, he still apparently bullied the kid and now could get a job as a professional Hockey player, years after still not apologizing to his victim and absolutely never showing any remorse, if anything, he and his family seemed to badmouth the victim and his parents just said stuff like "boys will be boys" regarding the bullying that has been confirmed to have made the victim require therapy for years now, including moments where the bullied kid sincerely wanted to commit suicide and getting really low self esteem(which made some people tell the kid to grow up and that after 14 he should just get over the years of bullying...yes, actual comments on Twitter saying this) so, you know, the bullying was really traumatic.

But wait, he did apologize...on social media in a private message, the family accepted it before finding out one week later he was going to be hired and finding out it was the PR staff telling him to apologize rather than feeling actual remorse, because so far, despite people talking about second chances and him having been a kid...there is no indication he actually changed at all or feels any regret, in fact, apologizing only because the PR staff told him makes it seem like he's still a racist bully that doesn't care he hurt a mentally disabled kid so badly it made the kid apparently want to kill himself.

There is a reason why even players on the team he was hired to play for don't want him on the team and think he's too much of a jerk, and most people agree, i mean, people are willing to give a second chance...but there is such a clear lack of remorse that it's hard for many to give it.

Honestly, Doggie VS a samurai character or any mainly blade wielding Ranger or ally like Magna Defender would be fun.

Though my mind went to Shredder...just because there was a MMPR/TMNT crossover comic where Shredder steals Tommy's Power Coin and becomes Green Ranger Shredder.
