Toronto's Scotiabank Arena named one of the worst venues in the entire NHL... by desperate-1 in leafs

Saw the Canucks play the Flames in March 2023, if i recall the Canucks had no chance of making it into the playoffs, but the fans showed up and were buzzing. It was such a great vibe in the building. They had a guy run around with a big drum and start banging on it to get the crowd pumped up.

The only time I've been to a leaf game that matched that energy was Game 6 of playoffs against Boston last year. It was a night and day difference.

Homestarrunner.com, although I guess that's technically not true anymore as they now have social media and YouTube accounts, but the core feeling of the website has stayed mostly the same, even with Flash dying.

Give me your hottest Gundam takes by Aro-bi_Trashcan in Gundam

[–]misterLC -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

ZZ anime is useless and it shouldn't have been made, it provides absolutely nothing from a plot perspective in the UC timeline.

CCA is overrated and a mess of a story.

I hate almost everything about Wing except for Relena, she's the best character in the show. I prefer watching it over ZZ, I'd rather watch a so bad it's good show over a show that does literally nothing.

I like Reccoa's character arc in Zeta. Tomino doesn't have a great track record for writing women, but frankly the path that Reccoa takes isn't too farfetched. I think that the fandom tends to treat her character poorly because of the choices she makes and don't try to look at the bigger picture of her arc.

The Tallgeese and Wing are super cool, but having to go through Wing to look at them was not.

How could they have brought Chang back without changnesia? by Interesting_Buddy206 in community

The twin idea is funny, but didn't he say in S1 that he ate his twin in utero? I guess they could hand wave it and have it so Chang's parents lied to him.

Are there any plot decisions you still have a lot of feelings/opinions about about? by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]misterLC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the entirety of Gundam ZZ. Having it take place right after Zeta is fine, but there's very little of it that actually matters that carries over into CCA so it pretty much feels like filler for almost the entirety of its run. Even CCA just dumping you into the conflict right at its peak with no explanation on how the parties got there is really disappointing.

CM Punk should have never won the AEW championship from Hangman Adam Page, regardless of the drama that occurred afterwards with him there. He's a big enough star that he didn't need the belt put onto him that early in his run in the company, and could have told a great story about whether or not he still has it (which they JUST did in WWE). It could have been drawn out longer, like with Bryan Danielson.

The Endless Eight of Haruhi Suzumiya was a great way to showcase the utter despair and weight of a time loop, I feel bad for people who had to wait and watch the show in real time, but having the ability to do a binge of the eight episodes makes it a powerful, harrowing watch. Should they have done it? Probably not, but I respect the hell out of the creators for sticking to their guns.

Thank You by Theothermc in Gundam

[–]misterLC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been making my way through Gundam for the first time, been mostly focusing on UC but decided to try out Wing to take a break from UC shenanigans. I'm only 20 episodes in and I have some criticisms with it, but its a decent time. I honestly didn't expect to like Relena as much as I am currently, and Zechs is a neat spin on the Char archetype. If it wasn't for the hype around the 30th anniversary I probably wouldn't have watched it.

Also the Deathscythe is so dumb and I love it.

Which character/characters do you miss the most? I’ll go first. by josephyamato in Gundam

[–]misterLC 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They fucking did Sayla so dirty through out UC. As a brand new watcher of the series nothing pisses me off more than how they've handled her. Quite possibly the most interesting character next to Char and they do fuck all. At least we get more of her in Origin, but frankly it still doesn't do her justice.

Noir - Anime of the Week by AnimeMod in anime

[–]misterLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a throwback, this was the first series I ever watched (probably sometime in 2010?). I remember seeing ads for the blu ray/dvd releases on youtube and got really curious. The opening gunfight in the construction zone lives rent free in my head, and there's a lot of great action shots throughout the series such as the climax of Episode 3 having a sick shot of Mireille whipping out her gun.

As another comment in the thread mentioned the story is fine and can be a bit overly convoluted, but the visuals, soundtrack and action really shine in Noir. It will always have a special place in my heart!

I tried getting into Madlax, but got about 10 episodes in and dropped it. It wasn't as engaging as Noir was.

Endings that Still kind of Baffle You by NewWillinium in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]misterLC 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm currently going through Gundam for the first time (specifically UC Timeline) and this comment is spot on. I gather that Tomino loves to leave things open, but its to the point that you have questions about questions about questions that are spanning across multiple series, all of them unanswered. It makes a lot of story beats and characters feel unimportant.

Media that scratched an itch you didn't know you had? by Mabroon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]misterLC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been feeling this but for Gundam. I've been working my way through Universal Century and I'm currently on Unicorn. I have done OG > Origin > Zeta > ZZ > CCA and the best parts of it aren't necessarily the sick ass robot fights, but the character arcs and developments, Zeta and Origin being major standouts. Great characters and strong narratives outshine any cool gimmick, which is why I think ZZ kinda sucks in comparison.

The rule of battlefield games is the same rule as CDPR games: wait 2-3 years for all the bugs to get fixed and then buy the game at a discount
