flcl FLCL (FOOLY COOLY) PROGRESSIVE EPISODE #1 DISCUSSION!!
rpgamer replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Nah. Just about everything with Jinyu seemed like it was trying to copy Haruko's actions. In fact, the scene with Haruko and Atomsk makes me wonder if Jinyu is some sort of split-off counterpart to Haruko. Kinda looked like Haruko finally caught him, and couldn't handle the power. -
Man, this episode was so much more bearable than usual. Gee, I wonder why.

flcl FLCL (FOOLY COOLY) PROGRESSIVE EPISODE #1 DISCUSSION!!
rpgamer replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Reading through comments, it almost sounds like you missed the kid talking about sex with teacher. Combined with the bandage and the vespa foreshadowing... Even though some of you did guess at Haruko. Idk. This episode felt like it was trying too hard to be FLCL. And, I'm guessing since we've already established some stuff from the original, this just felt like it was all too logical. Still interested in how the story progresses, and what themes it'll play with. And more importantly, if any of the stuff in the ending will be relevant. -
If you're going to teabag someone, you don't want to do it with a sack of marbles.

Maybe 500 posts is meant to make the boards look more active than they really are. Cuz that's an investment when there's nobody and nothing worth sticking around for.

By avoiding any videos or promos of this, I might just be able to stomach giving the show a chance. I sorta vaguely tried to watch OK Go. Too generic-kids-show for me, but at least it didn't seem inherently awful. Craig reminds me too much of Clarence artistically to give it any attention. So, while the art here looks somewhere on the spectrum between Steven Universe and OK Go, I'll hold onto the belief that it might not be totally atrocious. But it's certainly nothing close to what Thundercats fans would want out of a reboot. Creators getting defensive about it certainly doesn't help, either. But by the end of this, somebody's going to be eating their words.

I disagree. I think this episode is probably my most favorite, for the sheer absurdity.

Random question, what was that bug on the coin supposed to be? 12 legs and 3 body segments kinda rules out a lot of things. -

rpgamer replied to Meilag32's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Don't get me wrong, I get the coolness factor. But I also struggle getting over the practicality of it. But also it felt a bit silly in a fight such as this. Bringing a knife to a gun fight, so to speak. -

rpgamer replied to Meilag32's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
I kinda felt like there were a few chunks of this arc that still could've been trimmed down more for Kai. Lot of needless feet dragging here. -

FFS, this fuckin episode. "I made a scythe! But then I realized fighting with a scythe is actually kinda really stupid so here's some shadow clones for you to punch, because I've been on a bit of a Naruto kick lately." "My power is beyond even my own comprehension." "Here, Trunks, I just happen to conveniently have this video of the Containment Wave plan we came up with, and since nobody else is going to use it... Oh, wait, nvm, actually that was all doomed from the start." "I mean, you had to expect we'd fuse eventually, right? Chekhov's Gun, yo." -
What I'm hearing is fuggs is gone, so, that's already a significant improvement. Probably one of the major contributors to why some of the older folks abandoned ship. Re: new members, that's just been an issue for the community since [as] stopped promoting the boards. We stagnated ages ago, which led to the insular group that slowly pared itself down. Since then, growth and fresh faces were typically thrown straight to the wolves, survival of the fittest style. We might want new members, but it's not as easy to find others that hate themselves as much as we do, enough to fit in with the shit posting. And, I'd say you've still got one or two members that probably still keep new folks from settling in. For myself, this place is a pale shadow of what I'd want. I'm not even sure I could really dedicate myself much to a forum again anyway. The old guard isn't coming back, the new stock is lower quality. It's a place I can count on for some random Toonami posting, see some of you dinguses still dingusing. And I don't have to learn how reddit or twitter works. So, it's about all I could really ask for.

rpgamer replied to Meilag32's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Don't forget the Containment Wave plan. Conveniently swapped to "Eh, we didn't really like that plan anyway" as soon as they got there. I mean, until Bulma whipped out the super glue, it seemed like they were legit just falling back on the same plan that hasn't worked out so far a few times over. -
Dragon Ball Super Episode 62 Discussion
rpgamer replied to Meilag32's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Crazy time travel paradox question time. How does Future Trunks, whom we know is from an "alternate" future, keep traveling back in time to the "current" timeline? I can sorta understand at the origin point, saving Goku from heart disease or whatever, when that timeline was still part of his own. But after that, it's established that Trunks is on a completely different timeline. So, if he travels back in time, why isn't he traveling along his timeline? He's clearly not only traveling backwards, but sideways to make it over to the alternate line where Goku was saved. (side note, in Trunks' future, Goku was still killed by heart disease, wasn't he? Where'd Goku Black come from again?) All of this is also completely ignoring the question of why the hell Trunks doesn't just keep time hopping to share new information faster so everyone can keep being more prepared with each iteration. They know Beerus' plan failed, so maybe hop back a little further so they can get ahead of the game on that one. -
Why does our smallest currency have to be darker than all the rest? Is it some sort of ironic joke to put Lincoln on it, too?

Dragon Ball Super Episode 61 Discussion
rpgamer replied to Meilag32's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
I mean, Trunks did spar with SSG Vegeta, didn't he? Easy justification for "saiyan got stronger." More importantly, I feel like Beerus/Whis really should've known about the time rings being able to null any past effects. They really ought to have expected some sort of complication. What are the chances they pull out a "bad guy trump card" and use the potara earrings to fuse? Would they retain Zamasu's invincibility plus the combined boosted fusion of power? -
Dragon Ball Super Episode 60 Discussion
rpgamer replied to Meilag32's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
So, I can probably rationalize this one way or another, but rather than dealing with Beerus time traveling, why not just... go find Beerus in the future? I mean, I guess since Goku died, he never found a Super Saiyan God to fight, so maybe he just doesn't give a shit. Or, possibly, frustrated at not finding a god, he probably woulda just destroyed Earth or something, if he ever actually came hunting. But sure, obviously he doesn't know anyone or care about Earth in the future, but they coulda at least asked Wiss to give them a letter of introduction or something. -

Does anyone remember the "My true identity is this" scene having more of a strobe effect previously? -
Dragon Ball Super Episode 60 Discussion
rpgamer replied to Meilag32's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
So, I meant to ask this last week, but, seriously, why was Beerus getting involved in killing the kai at all? Where was the 10th universe's destroyer? Shouldn't he have thrown a fit at some other god coming in and making a mess? More presently, with time rings and super mega divine dragon wishes, basically the show is saying screw the rules, we'll make shit up when it's convenient. -
I've never actually seen the movie. But I know him from a bunch of other shit, that I can't really think of any specifics. He's done some good work.

Takes me back, every time. But, damn, did they have to cut out the next episode previews? Those were every bit as good as the rest of the episode. -
Adventure Time kinda got dragged a bit long. Not sure if creators just weren't creating much anymore, or if they suffered CN giving them the slow death. Shame how it went from one of their big shows to repeat, to nobody even knows its still around anymore. Also, lol, GoT canceled.

I just can't imagine Super Troopers 2 being good.
rpgamer replied to André Toulon's topic in Free-For-All
That's how these things work. Half of it is going to be callbacks to the original for that good ol' 'member-berry effect, and the other half is going to be making every attempt to spawn new memes.
