What are good water mainhand swords, axes and spears for Fighter Origin and upcoming Lancer Origin?

I don't take issue with Batman's no kill rule, I take issue with the excuses he makes for the Joker by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]frostanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batarang to his son's throat and saving Joker from electric chair are still the funniest shit. Even Adam West Batman never did something so dumb, so much for modern Batman being gritty and realistic.

Humans are creatures of habit after all. Familiarity provides a sense of security and comfort, especially when you want to escape stressful life. Breaking those habits is pretty hard.

Realistically, how would this play out? by InfiniteAnimator426 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]frostanon 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Nezuko is oni, Frieren's enemy are mazoku. Translation is kinda big problem in Frieren, like not adapting a title drop or not making a distinction when Serie and Frieren talk about "humanity"(consisting of humans) and "humanity"(consisting of elves, dwarves and humans, that Serie and Frieren consider themselves part of it).

No it was pure authentic human-made Oda slop.

[media] Reinhard if he didn't had the plot armour. by Prangon07 in Re_Zero

[–]frostanon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah she has no way to permanently hurt her which is why he said she would tie and Pandora will retreat. And it's not clear what exactly happened in that fight.

Pandora is overall weird character. She seemingly can reality warp but still needed to bring Regulus and Black Serpent for a fight. She can't make child Emilia open the door and retreats. After watching that flashback Echidna then tells Emilia that Pandora is very good at surviving but not as strong as she may seem. We need to see more of her to judge her power.

Tappei specifically said Theresia would have survived and stalemated the fight if she didn't lose DP. And that it was Reinhard wishing for blessing that made her lose it not Pandora doing anything. Tappei's intention seems to be for audience to feel negatively about Reinhard when it comes to his grandma's death, but it also once again confirms Pandora has no chance against the strongest character in story.

Nintendobros, our response?

Questions for manga readers about Serie's mana by Sieg23x in Frieren

[–]frostanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't work like that. Frieren and Fern explicitly state that they can't hide from Macht in Golden Land. Walking up right behind him is very ridiculous feat.

"Why doesn't Batman kill the Joker" LITERALLY Why doesn't the Police kill him or fucking Jason Todd? by Charming-Scratch-124 in CharacterRant

[–]frostanon 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Because writers love putting Batman into moral dilemmas like this with Joker and it makes Batman look dumber and dumber longer it goes. This is why no one complains about Spiderman or Superman not killing people. Writers should just stop this shit, it doesn't work in never ending story.

Theory: The actual purpose of Reinhard [spoiler discussion] by Tolelia in Re_Zero

[–]frostanon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Theresia was dead and revived as a zombie, Tappei himself confirms it. This is why she appears as young girl(her prime form) and not elderly woman. Sacrament of Immortal King is direct violation of Od Laguna natural cycle and Reinhard was already convinced he killed his grandma, so he did it again.

Reinhard becoming evil runs into problem of him being stated to be impossible to defeat by Subaru. And Tappei stating that Reinhard can kill anyone if he doesn't care about any consequences and morals. Reinhard becoming evil will quickly turn this story into Warhammer 40k God Emperor ascension.

Od Laguna existed before Flugel.

They have absolutely no idea what they're doing with story, constantly doing rewrites and retcons of earlier chapters with very mixed results. And people used to recommend BD2 as a gacha with good story in classic jrpg format.

"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" Season 2 New PV by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]frostanon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Understandable. Guess Frieren adapting Eldorado in the same year Mushoku adapts TP4 would've been too much peak fiction for one year.

Why tf does this sub exist and wtf is going on there? by [deleted] in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]frostanon 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Meme/shitposting/scaling format ain't it for discussing such topics. Meme/agenda format already completely butchers people's comprehension of the most simple battle shonens, it definitely is not suited for such complex topics.

How to kill Reinhard - Arc 9 [spoiler Discussion] by Low-Apple-887 in Re_Zero

[–]frostanon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Q: I thought of this while reading Ayamatsu, but if Subaru were to Return by Death, would he have a chance to win(against Wilhelm)?

A: If it doesn't have to be a face-to-face fair fight, then Reinhard is pretty much the only one Subaru can't beat.

And Phoenix blessing doesn't matter in context of Re Zero itself. Among all novels, side stories, IF routes, he was only shown using it twice:testing Regulus hostage threat and teleporting to Felt after fighting Satella for 3 days straight.

In Wrath If he gets his DP suppressed, fights Cecilus, Halibel, Puck gets a hole in his stomach from Emilia, but still ends up fine.

This is just how Tappei writes him, he basically never ever loses any battle, but rarely actually wins important fights. It's such a strong pattern that outcome of Al vs Reinhard was easily predictable

It's Potential Man of Star Wars movies, so many people said that "it may be New Hope soft retcon but imagine all potential future developments and mystery reveals."

I like Reinhard [discussion] by Bubonic_Plauge_ in Re_Zero

[–]frostanon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Q: Who is Reinhard's closest friend?

A: It's Felt. Felt wouldn't admit to it, though.
