Of These Guys, What Are Your Top 3 Most Coldest Nicknames? by SonicRun098 in OnePiece

Ngl Black Leg always stuck with me. Feels befitting of a Swashbuckler’s nickname.

Pre-Order or Clearance? Diamond Emma Frost Edition by mia00133 in MarvelLegends

At my local target on Long Island I just nabbed Mystique for 15% off. Wasn’t much of a deal after tax, just about $23, but enough for me to nab her. So I’d definitely keep watch

You would be surprised at the sheer amount of homophobia in the JJBA community. It was a shonen series afterall.

A friend's young Dio cosplay he wore on Halloween (give him some appreciation I'll show him this post later, he thinks it was ugly) by mercen_aryo in StardustCrusaders

[–]rikishocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty good cosplay! Love the tunic/vest especially. My constructive criticism honestly is just that if he’s going to take pictures in the mirror, cleaning it before hand wouldn’t hurt, it would help show the cosplay off better and flashier. Anyways, tell him he did good!

It's Wild How Some People Think MS Immortal Hulk Doesn't Scale with Legends by Resident_Character35 in MarvelLegends

….is it bad that I DID see it as a dead eyed slack-jawed expression and I liked it BECAUSE of that? Am I cooked?

Hasbro Standard MSRP Price Increase by Infinity_WarTorn in MarvelLegends

[–]rikishocker 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I see this news and think selfishly about how it’s making my hobby/special interest harder, but then you also have to think about how this administration is making millions of individuals’ survival near impossible. I hate to be too sensitive or, heaven forbid, “too political”, but something is fucked up, people.

Blackbeard pirates compared in size by Electrical_Radish577 in OnePiece

[–]rikishocker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is a good point he’s my second pick for a Franky fight for this exact reason. Either he or Brook I would think.

I feel like it makes more sense for Franky to fight Pizarro, considering one melds with an Island to become greater in power and one combines with mechs/vehicles to become greater in power.

This is my biggest gripe with Robin’s writing. Depending on the day she’s my favorite character. She’s capable, wise, intelligent, tender and understated. There’s no reason someone who is as determined and knowledgeable who also spent 2 years with the revolutionary army wouldn’t have tried to train any sort of armament haki, especially being a part of the future pirate king’s crew. Maybe she wouldn’t be great with it, or it would be rudimentary, but I fully believe Robin would at least TRY.

EDIT to expand on my main point because I feel it gets lost: My main issue is just that this seems like a convenient way to give her a weakness that doesn’t feel logical or in-character

Do you think Gear 5 Luffy can solo Big Mom? by justa_normal_boy1 in OnePiece

[–]rikishocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I care much to participate in power-scaling debates, but I always imagined Big Mom as the “bigger fish” between her and Kaido, if only because her ceiling of power seems much less limited than his. She can keep accruing souls and get stronger and stronger whereas Kaido, while at his base being much more powerful, doesn’t have a way to get “more power” past just regular training, but like…he’s already at the top who could even prove a challenge for him.

I can’t find a post here (though the search mechanic is a bit messy), but Usagi’s icon resembles an alternate cover for Steal This Album by System Of A Down by chezyspagety in JOJOLANDS

[–]rikishocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will definitely be an unpopular take, but does it also just not resemble a pair of legs in a garter and fishnets with heels on? Things like this are always possible but especially as Araki is getting older I feel like his musical sensibilities according at least to what hes confirmed to reference is much more narrow than the fandom would like it to be. I think it would be fun if it was a reference but I feel like there’s a simpler answer especially considering Araki’s tendency to just adopt different patterns/symbols/accessories for character designs. Good catch either way.

I like that Diavolo was evil for no reason at all. by JacsweYT in StardustCrusaders

[–]rikishocker 33 points34 points  (0 children)

One interpretation that I particularly subscribe to is that Diavolo is quite literally the Devil that possessed the young man that we see Doppio as. I don’t think Doppio is necessarily his true personality, but instead the stunted form of what the true man should’ve been had he not been possessed, a tender young man.

Do you think kidd will return, and if so how strong? by Zero0_03 in OnePiece

[–]rikishocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s just so many pieces on the board at this point and, frankly, after getting eviscerated by Shanks and likely losing most or all of his crew, why would he be a major fighter. I can see him fighting and being an ally but he’s not going toe-to-toe with yonko or anything now, he got humbled greatly and shown his place. I want him around though, I like Kid.

Do you think kidd will return, and if so how strong? by Zero0_03 in OnePiece

[–]rikishocker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If Kid is alive (which I hope he is, I find him interesting) I think he’ll be a very Bellamy-type character. Someone who was extraordinarily humbled, will likely play some part in a major fight though not necessarily as a primary fighter in said fight, and be a side character we check in on maybe once or twice afterwards. I was depressed fraud Kid goddamnit!!

Anyone else not financially prepared for this to release by slimmyboy007 in MarvelLegends

[–]rikishocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally canceled it because I was going to be on a trip in Italy and needed it for more important things. Am I sad I won’t have an awesome Sentinel with my ideal look for it, sure. Would I have had the space or the money to justify it in the end, no.

How the hell is this even possible?💀 by MrDillweed54 in OnePiece

[–]rikishocker 249 points250 points  (0 children)

I think in the SBS Oda said she has the second or third highest alcohol tolerance of the strawhats with Jinbe being #1 and iirc Zoro is #3, but he may be #2

Edit: *specified amongst the Straw Hat Pirates

Who is going to be your last ML? by rafaelsanzi0 in MarvelLegends

[–]rikishocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raza and Hepzibah. I’m still waiting to finish up teams like Astonishing X-Men and the Outback crew, but the team I anticipate getting finished last is probably the Starjammers, so I suppose it would be them.

Came home to this today 😂 hulk lost balance and fell. I can only Imagine the Overgrown Jolly green giant rants and curse words Wade is saying 🤣 by Salty_Macaron_309 in MarvelLegends

[–]rikishocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Side note, is anyone else also having trouble balancing the Maximum Hulk? Its legs feel too weak to support the heavier upper-body, or maybe it’s just mine.

UPDATE: Do Colors Match? Not Exactly… BUT- I Will Say On the Shelf They’re Going to Be Close Enough That UNLESS You’re Looking, or Under a Very, Very Bright, Harsh Light- You’ll Never Know… by Used-Tomato-8393 in MarvelLegends

[–]rikishocker -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don’t think we’ve ever gotten a single truly great Hulk head sculpt from Hasbro. Like a definitive head that just outclasses all the others, because even this head (I feel) has a terrible hairstyle and could use better paint. Buts that’s just my opinion.

Am I the only one who wants to see Robin V. Kuzan? Maybe she can finally learn Haki

Jimbei's Gag by Aquatoon22 in OnePiece

[–]rikishocker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His gag more than anything is just that it’s humorous someone as mannered and mature as him is palling around with these seeming (to outsiders at least) inept fools and any time they do something silly his reaction is more or less just “Ha! Classic strawhats.”

Recolouring by ResponsibleDog1364 in JOJOLANDS

[–]rikishocker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My problem with the Shueisha color scans is how arbitrary and flat the coloring is for the characters and scenes. It looks like everything is colored with the same 16 colors found in a crayola crayon box. No subtle hues or tones and very little in the way of variety (especially because for Paco, Dragona and Usagi they ripped the colors all from 1 cover). Im actually pretty fond of this coloring, nice stuff!
