  1. That looks like someone shat blood and cheese, clumped it together, ate it, puked it back up, sneezed on it with enough ferocity to unload a dozen nostrils, then put more cheese on it, put it on tortilla, and microwaved it.
  2. Packard's "brain" determined the guy, who definitely existed, had a whole pocket full of needles dipped in heroin and AIDS.
  3. I read the title as "ambulance dinner" for a second. It was all like, yeah, you'll need an ambulance after one of your dinners.
  4. I was surprised nobody had said it tbh.
  5. Oooooooooooh..... Shit, yeah. She really blurs with Sodakandy. They're both sodapressing, ya know?
  6. Nobody answered my question, which was the one with the parakeet and the Zimmerman ladyboner?
  7. To be fair, there are very few people you can compete with.
  8. I think when she showed up as RealustMe everyone thought it was a westpark alt or...... You know, pretty sure that's what happened, but in retrospect that sounds kind of retarded.
  9. Wait, I thought RealistMe was the one with the parakeet. Was that Sodakandy? Fuck, I remember there being drama with that name but nothing like what you're talking about. The parakeet and/or Trayvon arguments. I don't know what's what any more.
  10. They did explain the Castro fight, though that's one of the weirdest shifts since it got explained at a strange place. Probably had to cut it for censors, but what they did show was pretty well done. As for Uvo, I like both versions about the same. 2011 is more straight-laced badass for sure, but '99 did a lot with it. The color scheme, camera angles, and the subtle additions to Kurapika's characterization make up for the technical limitations compared to the raw power of 2011. Yorknew is where I'd say the series start being about equal, just for different reasons. Then again, I like the somber feel more anyway, at least for HxH. For example, the flashback episode for Kurapika learning nen, despite being primarily exposition, has some crazy good shots. I really like stuff like starting a shot with a spider web and unblurring the background to show Kurapika behind it while his teacher warns him about lthe danger of using nen for vengeance. My film nerd side geeks out over small details of the sort.
  11. Come on, guys. We all know it's viper.
  12. There are significantly fewer comtinuity changes between version of HxH compared to versions of FMA. Like, mostly a few minor things and 2011 not doing the first episode right. The glasses guy was only around the mid-20s, early 30s. Again, better presentation in '99. While some is still just people talking, the atmosphere and direction is much better and makes a necessary evil of infodump more engaging to watch. I wasn't huge on these arcs im 2011 but thought they were largely done very well in '99. Hence, overal I prefer the older adaption by a great margin. The only serious downside being the lack of Chimera Ant.
  13. I was flipping him shit. It was teasing.
  14. Lol profound words of wersderm.
  15. I've seen plenty of people say to watch FMA03's beginning to supplement Brotherhood's weak start. I don't dramatically oppose that, either, aside from a few places where continuity is broken a little. I didn't initially think of '99 as the definitive veraion simce I initially only watched 2011. But the main reason people prefer 2011 is for Chimera Ant. It's a ridiculously good arc, but I don't think it inherently makes the bulk of preceding material better in 2011 when '99 is generally better directed with a stronger atmosphere. I don't know what you're talking about. Having strategy in fights doesn't equate to aping off JoJo. Not really. You accused me of being triggered, but ultimately it's not the case. You seriously need to get a clue as far as reading the room goes.
  16. That's actually something I didn't know. If true, I'm a lot more okay with it and feel bad for the author to some extent.
  17. Tony Stark built the suit. I know a bit less about Daredevil but I imagine a part of his backstory is him having to do trial and error for an extended period of time to perfect the hearing. Batman, to my understanding, designs his gadgets. These are all things they do proactively to accomodate their limitations. So, in essence, yeah, I probably would accept it to an extent if he did. Then again, I don't have a great deal of interest in the superhero genre, I can't vouch for the quality or lack thereof for any of the aforementioned. From what I've seen of superhero stuff, it can be fun but isn't exactly well-written under most circumstances. Never really bothered since by the time I was old enough to look into it, the comic book universe was already such a massive clusterfuck I didn't really want to bother. Haven't even watched the Marvel movies 'cuz don't really care. Some could be good, maybe not, I dunno, I'm not one to judge since I haven't gotten terribly deep into it aside from a couple miscellaneous movies here and there. Putting that all aside, it's less about literal plot and more about the overt message of the first 2 episodes in contrast to how it plays out. Count the number of times someone mentions 1. Deku not having a Quirk, 2. How badly he wants to be a hero, or 3. How nobody believes he can. Extra points for combinations. Go through the first episode alone, it's like every other line. If you turned it into a drinking game, you'd blackout before the end credits. What does it say about those with no Quirk to have that revoked? It's, like, not just the message of those episodes, but legitimately not subtle about it either. I don't think the series you listed make an explicit point of nobody believing in the hero due to their limitations, though without having read them I can't say for sure.
