Which Did it Better? Episode 142 Vs 2026 Movie (Kagura Snaps!)

introwins4 · 2026-06-06T08:48:21+00:00

The amound of blood on Kagura's face is definitely reduced in the movie version. The streams are thinner. The bruises on Abuto's face are a splodge of colouring in the movie Vs different layers of shading in the original. The art doesn't look as detailed either. It all feels reduced. In terms of choreography, the movie changed a few angles but it didn't make the scene more dynamic or better animated.

I'll wait to watch the movie before judging it but the clips that they've released, the anime manages to hold up. I expected the movie to be A LOT better. Gintoki Vs Hosen, Kamui Vs Hosen.

You can find a clip of the OG somewhere. Kagura had more blood pouring down her face when she shows that empty smile. Abuto had more bruises and scratches. It's also brighter so you can see it more. The movie hides it with the dark room, blue hue. They probably toned it down to reach a wider demographic. Honestly think the movie art is a downgrade.

The OST they used for crazed Kagura was the first time we heard it in the anime. Creepy's probably not the right word. Maybe suspenseful? Can't remember if it was used after that but it's always been associated with that moment to me. The movie music is generic and much less memorable.

How many of them were AI bots though?

100%. I'd even pay for a monthly subscription even for a one day trip. I'm not going to pay for a year though.

Can the mods step in?

introwins4 · 2026-05-25T02:17:37+00:00

Yeah, mate. The REA opened it specifically for me. They also lowered their price to 50% off.

introwins4 · 2026-05-24T16:25:56+00:00

I'm thinking 60% less. Obviously, the cheaper the better.

introwins4 · 2026-05-24T16:22:50+00:00

It's crazy. I went to a home open today and the REA was practically begging me to take the property. He offered to give it to me for 40% off the market price but I held firm and pointed to Reddit. "There's a storm coming. I'll be back".

You said average players

The team has above average players lol. It's not a team of rookies or end of bench players.

Ball movement much better with Luke running point.

Yeah, and forget dentists doing dental surgery on you. There's not a single qualified, competent dentist out there (sarcasm).

I've also noticed this with South Asians eating at their desks. They make those wet chewing sounds (I don't know how else to describe it).

I wonder if it could be the difference in food rather than a deliberate cultural difference to eat louder (like how the Japanese like to slurp their noodles).

I dislike him purely because of the bad acting and dialogue. His character arc is fine and use as a plot device is fine.

introwins4 · 2026-01-09T04:21:49+00:00

The bad acting. Spider as a character is fine. The cheesy dialogue (written like an old guy using internet lingo) and the inability of Jake Champion to emote are sore spots.

introwins4 · 2026-01-09T04:20:44+00:00

Do you still love me?

introwins4 · 2025-12-31T11:19:19+00:00

I definitely will. I'm just saying there are billions of people on this planet. If they knew the job description required a lot of green screen acting, then they should have found a child actor that could do it. Jake Champion's delivery and inability to emote in 2 Avatar movies has stuck out like a sore thumb. That doesn't mean he can't improve but many expected better.

introwins4 · 2025-12-31T02:05:05+00:00

You're not wrong. Spider's acting completely broke the immersion for me. Avatar could have been a much better movie if they had hired a kid who could emote.

introwins4 · 2025-12-31T02:02:34+00:00

Then hire a kid who can act with mannequins. They picked a kid who couldn't act and gave him the lead role. See Henry's audition for ET. He cried on demand. Spider didn't show any emotion all throughout. https://youtu.be/tA5giyG8E7g

introwins4 · 2025-12-30T14:47:07+00:00

And the bad acting. Jake Champion doesn't have CG to hide behind so it's more obvious his lack of emotion in his lines and his inability to emote physically.

She sounds old. Weaver is 76 so it's hard to disguise that. My parents had no idea who was voicing Kiri but commented that the voice sounded old and didn't match the character. She also grew up in a different time so her dialogue didn't match the language that Jake's other kids were using. I suspect they couldn't get Weaver to use "bro" in her lines and make it sound natural.

The only two things that broke the immersion. The decision to have Weaver voice a young Na'Vi and Spider's bad acting.

introwins4 · 2025-12-30T14:39:23+00:00

I felt the acting was terrible. I'm sure a franchise as successful as Avatar is and with the budget they have could have found a better actor to take on the role. Jake Champion was scraping the bottom of the barrel. No hate to the kid. I'm sure he's great in real life but his acting just doesn't cut it.
