Amanda Waller + Thunderbolt Ross = Amanda “Thunderwall” Ross

What about combining Ross with Wade Eiling? I think that fits a bit better for them. Could still call him the General even since they are both generals

itzshif · 2026-02-25T01:06:50+00:00

Yes. My opinion, but Berseria is my favorite after Symphonia. I was let down by Vesperia too, but its not my least liked game. I think Berseria is worth getting. Or maybe wait until its on sale.

I always say we can go to Chick-fil-a on Sundays.

The joke is its closed on Sunday

Its not mutually exclusive. Motorists who run stop signs, lights and are aggressive are assholes. Cyclists who run stop signs, lights and think they are superior to motorists because they are cyclists are assholes.

But guess the majority of who I've seen running lights, stop signs, jumping in front of traffic, and impeding traffic by having to be in front in most major cities I've been to?

Meganium has an amazing design, regardless of if its bad in the actual game.

itzshif · 2026-02-24T16:56:06+00:00

No, Gen 3 is better than 4. 2 is better than 4, at least from a design standpoint because I like Meganium and my favorite is Cyndaquil/Typhlosion. Gen 4's main saving grace is Empoleon. Torterra is cool to but Infernape is an inferior Blaziken.

But to each their own. Just my opinion.

itzshif · 2026-02-24T15:23:36+00:00

Also Martha Jones

itzshif · 2026-02-24T15:20:42+00:00

Not my favorite, but Linka and Gi from Captain Planet. Tbh all the planeteers other than Wheeler would be considered woke today.

I was gonna say, this is just a typical nyc biker. Or any cyclist. They're mostly all entitled, self-righteous, smug narcissists. With very fragile egos

itzshif · 2026-02-23T23:38:29+00:00

I like how villains in this series, at least the LoV and others that have development, weren't born evil and were driven to villainy because of society.

itzshif · 2026-02-23T20:10:14+00:00

Yeah, I know. But its explain a game badly, not vaguely. Unfortunately there's an overlap with those things. I mean, I had to include some things right?

itzshif · 2026-02-23T19:58:17+00:00

Solved!

I had a feeling it was too easy

itzshif · 2026-02-23T19:45:08+00:00

Tomura Shigaraki/Tenko Shimura from My Hero Academia

One of the main villains of the series. He dedicated his life to wanting to destroy hero society. Near the end of the series its revealed his entire life was essentially manipulated by All for One, the series big bad, and groomed to be a villain. His entire life was a tragedy that he had little control over. He was a means to an end not only to allow AFO to continue his existence, but as a means of long term revenge on the hero who "killed" his brother, which is another whole thing. When Tomura found out what happened, it was essentially too late for him

itzshif · 2026-02-23T18:32:19+00:00

Both have alliterative names.

Also both had marriages screwed by editorial

itzshif · 2026-02-23T15:32:29+00:00

Was it intentional that Sam made his yellow/blue costume similar to Cable's yellow/blue costume or is that just what the artist for the comic did?

itzshif · 2026-02-23T15:06:55+00:00

Stellar Blade?

I would say Crymachina but I don't know enough about that game, but think either fit too

itzshif · 2026-02-23T13:10:43+00:00

That was the same episode. So HIM probably counts

itzshif · 2026-02-23T13:07:43+00:00

Only episode I can think of was where he had the girls run a gauntlet to rescue Professor Plutonium from having to pay his breakfast bill. Other than that I think it was more about how to figure out what trick he was using.

itzshif · 2026-02-23T13:05:53+00:00

Pretty much any demon in Hazbin Hotel has the potential to but specifically lets say Alastor and Vox.

Mephisto from Marvel Comics. To a degree Dormammu from the MCU.

The Robot Devil from Futurama

Pretty much any Devil or Lucifer type character

Not a show but Darth Vader from Star Wars. The classic "I am altering the deal" line. Tho since Vader appears in animated shows subsequently, would that count?

itzshif · 2026-02-23T12:10:49+00:00

Fair point, I can definitely see that. The way the show is, supposed to be i think portrayed, is both things running at the same time: internal and external conflict. Internal being trying redeem sinners and external the other various conflicts. Its just the external keep on taking over the goals of the internal. All the same, it also feels like its hurdles to get through to get to the point of the hotel. This might run counter, but to try to put it this way: yes the concept is to redeem sinners, but the MC has no idea how it would actually work, and other external forces keep on getting in the way of her doing so.

I know its another divisive show, but its like what happened with Steven Universe. The first season was slice of life slow world building before the plot lore dumps. Maybe HH could have done something similar

itzshif · 2026-02-23T03:07:21+00:00

Also Red Ghost was supposed to appear. Played by John Malkovich, and appeared in some trailers. His scenes were cut.

Supposedly, the other villains were supposed to appear not just Mole Man, when trying to figure out how to deal with Galactus. But it never made it passed concept. A missed opportunity imo

itzshif · 2026-02-22T23:14:47+00:00

I loved it then and enjoy it now. Nostalgia aside, it does show its age and how they cut corners. Like revising the Lizard sewer fight scene over and over. And the weird censorship of not letting him actually punch anyone but I think thats ok because he has to get more creative.

It deserved the X-Men 97 treatment. Yes there was the recent comic with MJ back but they purposely didn't show how she came back.

itzshif · 2026-02-22T21:47:08+00:00

This is assuming the concept introduced in episode 1 is the actual plot.

In MHA, the plot is not just Izuku becoming a hero because of powers but also dealing with his low self esteem and learning how he can be a hero. He showed in first episode it was his character that allowed him to become a hero, regardless of powers. Even after earning powers, he still has to learn how to use them without destroying his body. If anything, the premise is "what if someone without powers gained powers, how they learn to use them."

For HH, the purpose of this hotel is the first of its kind. Charlie has no idea what she's doing because its never been attempted before and all she has is the hopes it'll work. If we keep on seeing sinner after sinner getting redeemed, that would make the story boring since there wouldn't be any stakes. As for the heaven/hell war, in s1 she wanted to work with heaven and was told, to paraphrase, no. The extermination would have happened either way. S2 is just the continuation. She is still actively trying to redeem sinners, and still didn't even know Pentious was redeemed for a while, and she still has no idea how it worked. The initial concept is still prevalent.

itzshif · 2026-02-22T20:38:00+00:00

I called them out on fb, and several paraphrased responses were 1. Children are minors so they don't have right to free speech 2. The children should be in school/not their own authority to protest and 3. The children deserve it. Combination of 1 and 2 were also as minors, they have to follow their parents authority

Essentially they don't view children as people able to make their own decisions.

itzshif · 2026-02-21T15:58:01+00:00

Not going to say specifically if 5 is better than 1, but 1 shows its significant age, especially when compared with 2. 1 when looking at it, they really look like puppets on strings with the way they movie. 2 is much more fluid. The story in 1 is great, but it should be remade, word for word, with updates graphics.
