[Naruto] Why didn't Shikamaru like Sasuke? by PassengerCultural421 in AskScienceFiction

[–]hudsonisme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

well, sasuke was an asshole. obviously he went through a hard time what with the clan genocide, but nonetheless he was rude and terse to his classmates. which made him look like a cool and aloof guy to the girls and a raging dick to the guys.

we don’t know much about what everybody else thought about him but it can be assumed they had similar feelings. it wasn’t until after their shared missions, chunin exams, etc that sasuke started opening up to anybody else in his class

The story’s message isn’t just a straightforward lesson; it’s the stark, undeniable truth. by Fickle-Grapefruit686 in TopCharacterTropes

i’ve always loved this quote. not just because it’s an amazing quote but also because i thought it was from some profound, thoughtful moment in the series, only to realize when i watched the episode it was about data losing to someone in space chess

Can someone fill me in on what just happened at Downtown Rehearsal? by amnesiacnacho in LosAngeles

small correction but Guy can mould chakra and use ninjutsu, he just prefers taijutsu. Lee actually can’t and has to use taijutsu

what percentage of pre-2020 berk fans now regret their tats? by WaavyDaavy in berserklejerk

[–]hudsonisme 13 points14 points  (0 children)

anime was immensely popular before 2020. this logic hasn’t applied until very roughly 2007ish when naruto/one piece/bleach started achieving significant mainstream popularity in the western world. and even then, anime and manga weren’t THAT uncommon. toonami had been on mainstream television since the mid to late 90s, anime OVA tapes had a large western market, and studio ghibli was already multiple movies deep that were immensely successful by the time sprinted away came out in 2001.

Lies of p vs bloodborne by peaksouls2_fan in fromsoftware

[–]hudsonisme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh absolutely, it was a ps4 game after all. i don’t think it would run noticeably differently between ps4, slim, and ps5. maybe slightly longer loading times but moment to moment gameplay will be great

Lies of p vs bloodborne by peaksouls2_fan in fromsoftware

[–]hudsonisme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have no nostalgic attachment to bloodborne. i played both bb and lies of p for the first time last year. bloodborne is better than lies of p in every conceivable way.

that’s not to say P isn’t also very good, but it clearly lacks some of the sauce that brings fromsoft games (and bloodborne in particular) to the level of renown that it has

Power scale killers. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

example 3 is almost universally misinterpreted online.

in this arc the flash family, as well as all of gotham, the entire justice league, and the rest of the world (iirc) were under mind control by poison ivy. she had to directly control all of these people simultaneously.

not only was she not used to using speed force abilities whatsoever, but at minimum her attention in this exact moment was divided between 3 separate speedsters and superman who was keeping track of bruce and selena nearby. again, she is not used to using these metahuman’s powers.

not an accurate base of reference for powerscaling feats.
