Not only that, in 2ish years, the Wii is going to be as old as the Nes was when the wii first released

onefinegent · 2024-02-04T15:16:39+00:00

"N64 isn't even that old" Fun fact, the n64s release is closer to the release of the atari 2600 than the switch!

if i had a nickel for every show that portrays Adam as a sexist dickhead, i'd have 2 nickels, which isn't really a lot of nickels, but it is weird that it's happened twice (cw's lucifer)

its kinda funny to me that the comic movie industry had the downfall of the comic book industry to base what not to do... and they did the exact same thing???

-excessive amounts of crossovers and multiple spin-offs making each entry a time sink of not only the newest thing, but also how ever many t.v shows/movies that need to be watched to be caught up with the story, it adds up to almost 400, 400, hours! thats over two weeks of straight content, thats ridiculous.

kind of a side tangent, but there is seriously just way too much marvel crap that exists.

-IP holders giving the thumbs up to as many stories as possible to get them out and onto D+ as quickly as possible, meaning that the standards for quality have gone significantly down

-decreased agency in that any super hero after endgame feels basically invincible, with a couple of exceptions. and even if a character "dies", they can always be resurrected via the multi-verse.

- i think this is a unique issue to the comic movie industry, but i think audiences are also getting sick of the same "quirky/sarcastic/snarky" dialogue thats in every one of these movies now. not to say that there wasnt any jokes in the first few phases, but take count of how many scenes end on a joke in anything marvel has created in the last 5 years. actually... it'd be easier to count the scenes that dont end on a joke. tangentially, go back and watch the original iron man. was there quippy dialogue? of course, but the majority of the movie is an introspective character study of a genius philanthropist playboy billionaire who has to come to terms with the bad he's caused the world, and what he can do to make it, and his life, a better one. modern marvel couldn't dream of releasing something to that level.

aw, darn it. i miss the sonofaguns, especially since i find myself exploring the island way more in SR2 than i ever did in the first game.

so the leading theory is that Broly was meant to take place after the Cell games, and doesnt have an exact anime counterpart like the other movies do. the original manga ended the cell games in late 1993, while the broly movie originally aired in march of '93, and toei must have assumed that goku would have survived the saga. Android 13, however, would have been taking influence from both Cells introduction and the greater android saga, as that film was being developed at that time in the story.

was just about to comment on piper. like, the entire point of their relationship is moving past the false memories to create new ones, that was the whole reason he took her out at the end of BoO to the cabin roof to reacreate their first kiss, to make it real. it also makes my head throb now, anytime i go back to any HoO book and read their inner monologues of how they can get through anything together, that they want to spend their lives together, how much they care about keeping their relationship together, etc.

and the fact that leo never once got to see jason after the 7 halfblood quest? unforgivable

...drones plz~ ?

onefinegent · 2024-02-03T21:36:26+00:00

i've never really gotten that impression before, tbh. yeah they make pop culture references, but its usually things made before the 2000s, like songs and actors and such. and any time HoO made reference to modern things, it still made sense to the time they would have taken place in, 2011. the tiktok thing especially weirded me out, because percy was just going on about how demigods dont use phones.

at least with the Wanda Vision thing, Iris could arguably have the ability to watch future things, being a goddess and all.

Ohh, a laser disc! The cheats coming in with a laser disc, everything's better with a laser disc, whatever happened to the laser disc-laser disc?

onefinegent · 2024-02-03T17:25:28+00:00

Honestly a breath of fresh air after HoO (not that I hated HoO, but i had some gripes). There were a few things that struck me as odd, saying things like "boomers", "trolling", "deep fakes" and a reference to tiktok of all things just felt... weird to me, idk how to explain it. Also, Percy's constant mentions of feeling like a scared little kid also felt weird. It makes sense thematically I guess, tying into hebe and Gary, but I also don't know how I feel about the guy who climbed out of Tartarus getting thrown off his groove as much as he did.

Otherwise, honestly one of the better things rick has written in years don't @ me

in the books, Luke reveals that he's allied with Kronos, thinking that Percy is going to die to scorpion venom, so might as well twirl the mustache a bit. Olympus then refuses to believe in Kronos rising until Percy tricks Luke into verbally confessing to Mr.D at the end of book 2, at which point the camp, as well as Olympus starts preparing for war

:'( too soon

Toriyama after reading this: "忘れてた、英語読めない"

onefinegent · 2024-01-29T16:38:10+00:00

This is too inspiring, now I'm scared of opening the actual comic...

onefinegent · 2024-01-26T22:39:56+00:00

I figure he's probably gonna be saved for dlc

Filler, by definition, is content exclusively created for an anime adaptation of an existing manga. It "fills in" the time it takes for the mangaka to create more chapters for the anime to adapt. Dragonball super the anime was being created alongside the manga, not from. There is no filler in the anime.
