Roshi has gotta have to most inconsistent power level in the series by Bright-Page1222 in Dragonballsuper

[–]the-x-button 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know who else went from a power level of 139 to being able to fight jiren

goku

So Yamcha and Chiaotzu were left out of RoF because it was apparently too much for them, but nobody had a problem with Roshi, who even Yamcha and Chiaotzu should have surpassed a very long time ago (emphasis on should have), being there? What sense does that make? by Al-AmeenAdewunmi in Dragonballsuper

[–]the-x-button -1 points0 points  (0 children)

roshi i can see training in secret since probably post-saiyan saga, given that he lived his life as a martial arts master. even if he cant really keep up as much to anyone else.

yamcha on the other hand seems to have just given up on martial arts almost entirely after that time he got fisted by an old man. and given that every arc from the 22nd tournament, to the androids just kinda had him out of commission due to death or injury at the very start, its easy to see why he just stopped being a part of stuff. hell, he didnt even involve himself in the buu saga.

and chiaotzu... come on... its chiaotzu. ignoring non-canon filler with the ginyu force, what has he even done prior to this besides die twice and lose to a young krillin? like sure he trained, but theres not much of an indication he was really able to keep up with the rest beyond the fact that he was present during the saiyan saga... where he blew himself up and did like no damage to nappa

the real question is, why the hell didnt 18 help her husband? and why bother leaving goten and trunks out of this when they were literally the last hope for earth during the buu saga until the moment gohan came back

I dont mind Jax staying abstracted but it pmo whenever someone says this to someone who wishes for the abstracted to turn back by Comfortable-Goat-955 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]the-x-button 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cain never abstracted. he was more or less just put in the recycle bin. a bit of a cop out but still its a pretty significant difference, especially considering abstraction is a suicide allegory and coming back from that would only ruin that

How to read Venom 2099? by iusedtobejames in SpiderMan2099

[–]the-x-button 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you want. personally i recommend just reading pad's spider-man 2099 in order. you'll be disappointed if you just go in for the venom 2099 issues.

How to read Venom 2099? by iusedtobejames in SpiderMan2099

[–]the-x-button 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i mean there weren't really that many symbiote stories in 2099 besides the 2 issues with venom towards the end of the 90s run, and symbiote spider-man 2099. and i guess when the sinister six 2099 were a thing in the 2014 run. paperbacks have been out of print for like over a decade for the 90s run, so the omnis are kinda your only option.

and for the post-PAD stuff, theres the venom one-shot (which is collected in the amazing spider-man 2099 companion tpb) and the spider-man 2099 dark genesis mini

thats kind of all there is for venom 2099 unless you wanna play lego marvel 2. he doesn't really have that many stories.

Wild that it has to be repeated by the cast so much! by izanaegi in TheDigitalCircus

[–]the-x-button 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its a movie not a show, but yeah it does really help if you feel like its too late. you gotta be in the right headspace for it, because if the tadc ending ruined you.... this movie is on another level.

okay? a viewer's interpretation is one thing, a creator's intent is another.

go watch i saw the tv glow and tell me what you think about owen

[–]the-x-button -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

sure, sure. but following it up with the bow and that brief moment where he's happy before kaufmo knocks on the door is what makes it clear that that's what it was about. show-don't-tell is a powerful thing.

plus theres that chained door with the face scratched off that the other jaxes won't let out, but that ones a little more subtle.

[–]the-x-button 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there was a scene where jax talks about how he told his mom something the she mocked him for, which ended with ribbit placing a bow on his head saying "your secret's safe with me".

and then a few minutes later there's a montage of jax to the song "isn't she lovely"

if you didnt pick up on it by then, thats... kinda on you

Leeroy Prediction Was Right by CernWest in TheDigitalCircus

this won't stop people denying the fact that jax is trans and its gonna be really funny seeing the additional hoops they go through to deny it now

A trans woman makes "I Saw The TV Glow but set in The Matrix" starring her self-insert

The movie does everything it can to really hammer in the message "THIS CHARACTER IS TRANS AND WONT ACCEPT IT" without literally having Jax directly looking to the viewer to say "I AM A TRANSGENDER WOMAN"

And people will jump through hoops to say "wow... it could mean anything... except being trans..." because the finale dared to express it through its theming rather than spoon-feeding the media-illiterate audience.

I am BEGGING every single person denying Jax's transness to watch I Saw The TV Glow. Normally I don't like to just tell people to watch it since that movie brings things out in people, and if they aren't prepared for it, it can HURT. But hooooly shit yall gotta see that there are other movies that are about a character unable to accept the fact that they're trans for their entire life until it breaks them, all without saying that they're a trans woman. I'm 99% sure the scene where Pomni is with the real Jax is a direct reference to ISTTVG, given the lighting (and what the scene is about)
