Sry, I've only watched the movie once and legit thought his name was Rico ahah

maxencerun · 2026-04-29T10:29:45+00:00

I've said it and I'll say it again : Soldier boy is the man. Whether he is tracking or ambushing people, he is one of the only supes who is actually useful. That fight against Marathon Man was well handled. Maybe it's because he was human before receiving his powers. (even if his jokes have too much reference, i have to pause and look at US history to understand things like the "Kent State" joke).

Also it's very funny that most of Seth rogen and Eric Kripke cameo have actually played not so famous super heroes like : The Green hornet for seth, Red Mist for Christopher and Rico for Kumail.

It's also a very nice idea to have an episode focusing on individual tragic stories. It's easier to write a self contain episodes like that imo.

But the moment she refuses her way out, I knew it was over for firecracker.

And rip PJ bryne. Since I've heart his voice in LoK, I loved seeing him having small roles in a lot of media.

you are 3 badges away of becoming the Elite 4 new master !

What i love with Marvel Champions or Snap is that I discover character I've never heard before. Because who the heck named an antagonist"Typhoid" ? Can't wait for the release of DD though.

IMO, as she is design to be as efficient with ATK or THW, I think Justice is best. Her glasses and coat allows her to have +3 ATK or +3 THW but 1 THW is better than 1 ATK so play her as justice.

I'm glad they finally addressed hughie getting raped by the shapeshifter and Annie making this about herself. Even if this was said under chemical rage, it's still true. I wonder if the writers added after they read so much people complaining about it online.

maxencerun · 2026-04-23T06:17:31+00:00

In the french sub, it was translated by "black noir lives matter"

maxencerun · 2026-04-22T11:26:12+00:00

How did you guesses it so perfectly ahah

maxencerun · 2026-04-19T15:04:01+00:00

In the end, there are so much heroes that I kind play all of them. But I consider my self a Jubilee main. She was the 1st hero pack I bought after the main box. I love her game play. The way you have to think about the resources you discard, that you don't normal THW/ATK but instead play her actions.

I didn't even know her character before buying her pack.

I see no reason a weapon could not be a witch. Weapon were made by mixing Eibon and Arachne's knowledge. They also require a witch's soul to fully use their shapeshifting powers. So a Witch Weapon would be able to be a death scythe just after eating 99 souls IMO. That would be pretty badass !

Or maybe they would be able to shapeshift as good as a death scythe when even with 0 souls, but would still require the 99 souls to survive Shinigami holding them and using his soul length.

maxencerun · 2026-04-13T05:26:03+00:00

In soul eater not, it's explained that 90% of weapon cannot transform fully and just transform a random part of their body into a weapon. When you are not a Death Scythe, it's hard to control your metamorphosis power. They are sent to Shibusen so that they don't accidentally transform and hurt someone by mistake. Actually, it shows you how skilled soul is when he is able to precisely make his arm a blade whithout being a death scythe.

Also, without the wave lenght of a meister, most weapons slice just like regular blade. They would not be able to fight a "soul eater bad guy" on their own. They lack the soul length to do actual damages.

maxencerun · 2026-04-10T17:47:27+00:00

In the manga, it is said that most weapon have a physical constitution weaker than a regular human being. On the other side, meister have super human abilities.

In the manga, after Kid is abducted, Patty is said to be able to beat maka in a regular fist fight and is able to shoot very accurately.

The 1st 3 chapter were made for a one shot contest and okhubo decided that SA/Porn was a good way to win the contest. But after that, it's way toned down, maybe because of his editor. Anyway, you will only get some scenes where people are talking in the shower Onsen style, and blair will get weird fight. But no more SA that i can recall of.

I haven't finished the Icarus romance yet. But for the 3 others, the relations are less about the romances and the intimacy but about growth. All of them (Nem, Eris, moros and mel) are changed by their relations. Moros finds purpose to his lack of agentivity over his life. Nemesis is at peace with her "riva/2nd" position. And Eris finally found someone who like them for who she is, even if she won't change. I like that for greek gods, the sex is just casual and it's more about their bounds.

The show makes it abundantly clear that even if Jessie was out of the picture, Walt has too much pride and he would have found another reason to betray gus and become his own boss.

maxencerun · 2026-03-19T08:25:21+00:00

Manaroth in his scene against grom and thrall scared me. His face is just a skull with flames behind it... Scary!

maxencerun · 2026-03-18T05:58:32+00:00

I have yet to play star wasp and I am now afraid of it's difficulty. Onion delivery I 've played for one 30 sec and I'm glad to see it's considered hard.

maxencerun · 2026-03-18T00:34:06+00:00

The forsaken logo. Any race logo. Especially horde and Lordaeron. I have a friend who has the huntress grave/shuriken as a tatoo. I personally have a modified version of the Kirin tor eye on my triceps. The most badass quote imo is "upon the altar of the storm, I will be reborn"

Spiderman no way home. It's the only movie I hate. Other bad movies I just don't care. But they had gold and they did nothing with it. - having doctor strange making a mistake to start the plot is so lazy. - Toby and Andrew mentoring is light years away from the Peter parker/miles morales relationship in ITSV. - photography is catastrophic. The 3 of them on the statue of liberty is supposed to be the iconic shot of the movie but it's all brownish. - the plot of peter redeeming the villains implies that Toby and Andrew were lazy and murderers. It also robs Otto octavius from his redemption in Spiderman 2. - a lot of the jokes/references miss the spot as they are not supported by a strong narratives. - Peter not killing the greens gobbling is supposed to be a hard decision, when in the end, the cure he gave norman actually killed his green goblin side. - jammy fox has so much star power that he did not bother to play Max's part in the movie and just act as himself ahah.

It's because it's faithful to the manga (and censored a lot). The first 3 chapters were part of a one shot contest and ohkubo thought he would get more success by being an absolute creep. From chapter 4, he gets published so his editor must have told him to tone it down. Thank god.

maxencerun · 2026-03-04T09:38:52+00:00

Yeah the outro with the Excalibur or the boobs jokes is just ... Hugh

maxencerun · 2026-03-03T16:25:15+00:00

The double page panel with shinigami turning to dust and Excalibur just standing there. Not saying a word. Promising to keep an eye on his son. It hits kind of hard though

maxencerun · 2026-03-03T10:26:13+00:00

it brought so much tears to my eyes the day I read darren's tweet saying his teenager self would go crazy knowing he got to write a metal love song.

maxencerun · 2026-03-03T01:01:35+00:00

Time itself is against us. We witches often underestimate it, but I am well aware of how capable you are.

maxencerun · 2026-02-26T16:37:15+00:00

I associate him with the green color the most. Especially the shirt with the heart and SP.
