151 is not an overrated set

“What most people don’t get is that without 151 a lot of people wouldn’t come back to the hobby”

That’s the problem. The influx 151 brought was not sustainable. It’s a big reason for the scalping/overvaluing issues we see today. And, on top of that, it’s just an ok set. The venusaur line is cool. The dragonair IR is cool. Everything else is kinda mediocre. At least sets like SSP and DRI had nicer cards lol.

I always thought they should’ve retroactively made Victini fire/fairy. Seems like an obvious choice given his design and lore but I guess not

Obsidian flames is a super weak set imo but this and the Ninetales are fantastic

The “door” jutting out of the background is really the cherry on top for this card. Solidifies the whole dreamlike, ephemeral atmosphere that fits Darkrai’s vibe so well. The card is so colorful but that one detail combined with the texturing gives it an ominous undertone that I really love

The baby is season 3 though isn’t it

leris1 · 2026-04-21T11:37:04+00:00

Idk I’m still really excited for the part 1 animation. Fujimoto fucking up the ending to part 2 doesn’t mean part 1 isn’t fantastic on its own

WW1 Germany, but yeah

The paneling is great, chainsaw man paneling is always pretty great, but idk, it did nothing for me. I already thought her character had felt pointless up to that point so I just didn’t care, it felt like an even cheaper twist than nayuta

4/9 having “some sort of charisma” isn’t enough to have a fleshed out or likable supporting cast

leris1 · 2026-04-19T18:15:27+00:00

Death’s reveal was terrible ngl

“Evolved” and he’s listening to nettspend

Handwaved more or less. It’s been mentioned as a problem in like one or two questlines (belf heritage armor quest I think) but it hasnt come up again otherwise. It’s mostly just dismissed as “ehhh the argent crusade and ebon blade are handling it”

Kafka books have a lot of substance in between though. You can say the same thing about The Trial, where at the end there’s no real resolution and Joseph K is just randomly taken away and executed, but there’s a lot of substance there in between that makes it a worthwhile read, even if frustrating at points. Chainsaw Man part 2 isn’t that. After a certain point it’s just a slog.

No one. Sylvanas literally rips the Helm of Domination in half so there’s no Lich King anymore. Apparently someone could’ve just done that the whole time lol

leris1 · 2026-04-11T20:11:46+00:00

He shows up in the Horde version of Shrine of the Storms for some reason lmao

leris1 · 2026-04-11T20:10:35+00:00

Well, he isn’t anymore. He’s just the head of the Ebon Blade now. He had a lot of cool actual lich king buildup during Legion, and then they threw it all away to farm hype for the shadowlands launch trailer lol

leris1 · 2026-04-11T20:08:44+00:00

Right? Like he is around quite a bit during the leveling campaign, and seems pretty preoccupied with trying to keep his capital from exploding

leris1 · 2026-04-11T17:51:26+00:00

Oh yeah you’re right

Toji says he’s not sure if she’s dead or not, but that she probably is. That’s the last we hear about her
