  1. Lmao. Is there an angrier hothead than Bakugo? Not even Vegeta or Grimmjow I don't think match him hahaha. Why would the bird guy tell anyone that until now? The announcer just gave away everything about that guy's power. Either way he is using 2 powers at once so the announcer was wrong. Ide using his SECRET TECHNIQUE. He's busting out the fire!
  2. Thank god for recaps. My bed got infested with ants, so I had to pull everything apart, start washing stuff, sprayed poison on the windowsill and around the bed. Don't know where they came from!
  3. That's unfortunate. Shows being on Toonami is what made me watch them. I've been watching ASA/Toonami for years and I rarely miss it. That time is already set aside. To watch other stuff I have to carve time out of the tons of other shows, games, and other stuff I'm doing and commit to watching a show. Indeed, we now have the opposite problem of years ago when you might hear someone say "I'm bored." Now there's not enough time to watch everything! I almost watched SAO and JoJo on my own thanks to recommendations from a friend and looking into them, then Toonami got them. But I foolishly "saved" Fairy Tail in the hopes I could watch it for the first time with everyone on Toonami. Never again! Still, it's going to be hard to find the time to watch all these other shows! And yeah, lets hope the originals are more original from now on, or at least, sequels people asked for!
  4. You know what's still depressing though? One Piece's ignoble defeat at the hands of Love Live in 2016! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-12-29/top-selling-media-franchises-in-japan-2016/.110442 https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-12-23/top-selling-media-franchises-in-japan-2017/.125682 And still #7 in 2017!
  5. Rick Moranis decided to quit Hollywood to take care of his kids after his wife died of breast cancer in 1991. https://medium.com/@johnholtmagic/what-the-hell-happened-to-rick-moranis-4d9341c7816c
  6. So this won't be a sequel to that movie but more of a spin-off? Because uh... some things need to be addressed...
  7. Funny thing is, Solo is very much a fan service movie, so people who hated The Last Jedi would probably love Solo. Says the guy who randomly bitches about anime series he hates years after the fact. I hope Demarco co-funds an adaptation of the second Moribito novel. =3
  8. No, I'm not. Believe it or not, not even Wookieepedia is infallible. R2-D2 got the map from the Death Star, according to canon reference books. JJ confirms this - https://ew.com/article/2015/12/20/jj-abrams-answers-burning-question-about-r2-d2-star-wars-force-awakens/ And it's never said in the movies that Luke left the map. The map was to the first Jedi Temple.
  9. Are you calling him a liar? Mark couldn't have watched the movie and changed his mind? Yes, he turned on the lightsaber, but he didn't swing it, and instantly regretted it. Are you going by Kylo's version of events instead of the truth? He wasn't a child. He was in his 20s. And again, like I said, acting with anger and impulsively, he's done it before. He foresaw that Kylo could be even worse than Vader. She was able to talk to Luke in Empire. How do you know she hasn't trained? Either way, she should have just as much potential in the Force as Luke, and she used it to save her life, and I think this situation was worse than any other spot she's been in. I look at it like when people get an adrenaline rush and lift a car off their child. All she did was pull herself through space, where there's no gravity. Maybe the Force even helped her to survive. Real science has applied to Star Wars since when? How do the aerodynamic nightmares of fighters maneuver in atmosphere and why do they bank to make turns in space? We can play this game all day. They mentioned his death. It was part of how the Resistance was getting bodied in this movie. They lost all their leaders in that room besides Leia, and by the end of the movie everyone can fit on the Falcon. Also I don't think Ackbar matters nearly as much to casuals as he does to us. So you aren't going to address anything I said. And you know the Chosen One thing was a retcon, right? You obviously don't understand how the Force works. http://archive.is/qjaZT I haven't heard any of this at all. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/star-wars-the-force-awakens/daisy-ridley-jj-abrams-interview/ https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=11554498 Yeah, so it was on her first day. After that things smoothed over. She doesn't say she doesn't like her own acting, either. Way to take something and take it out of context. And I don't know why there isn't a link to the actual original interview, because I'd like to read that to get even greater context. I think Daisy Ridley did fine, in any case. And you really think Luke wasn't meant to be relatable, or "self-insert," as you like to say? Most of the acting, including Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher's, was terrible in the original trilogy, though. The speeders were falling apart just from using them and they didn't make any headway in their attack, and then his guns melted just from the targeting beam. It's pretty obvious it wasn't going to be effective. Hard to say since we didn't see her path leading up to that point. I could argue the trajectory of the A-wing in Jedi doesn't make much sense, either. Or the TIE colliding with Vader in the trench. So you didn't see the first Star Wars? And here's the Clone Wars scene - That's a shame, Clone Wars was a great series. If ships don't interact with each other in Hyperspace, then why do they have to worry about flying in formation? They'd just pass through each other if that was the case, right? Why are you ignoring the thing I said about accelerating to lightspeed but not actually making it to hyperspace? That's what likely happened. Holdo set the controls and timed it that way. Even with your theory of how Hyperspace works, that still floats the whole "WELL WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE ALWAYS DO THIS LOL." The reason is resources and money. Do you think it would be productive for the Rebellion to try to kamikaze the effectively infinite number of Star Destroyers the Empire had? 25,000, I think it was? And hundreds of thousands if not millions of smaller capital ships? You might as well ask why every military of the world doesn't just ram their vehicles into each other. Did you see Snoke's gold robes and his throne room? He's rich! They were hiding out in the Unknown Regions. We don't know how much territory, ships, or resources they have. It's likely not as much as the Empire but obviously enough to conquer the galaxy in the state that it's in. And Rey says it would take weeks for them to take over the major systems, not the whole galaxy in one day. According to the new books and such (if you're going to run to them, then so am I,) Mon Mothma had the New Republic demilitarized and wanted planets to have their own defense forces, to not risk another Empire happening. So most of what they had was at Hosnian Prime. And the reason they made the story similar to the original trilogy, and also why Lucasfilm has been avoiding the prequel era like the plague, is because of all the bitching over them. So fanboys only have themselves to thank for this. Not saying that justifies it, but that's their reasoning. Different strokes, I guess. I thought the jokes were funny. I mean Star Wars always had comedy. Fine logic there, lol. TFA was the first movie in 10 years and bringing back the original cast, the hype level was off the charts, maybe even more than for Phantom Menace. Nothing was doing to do as well as TFA. Even then, TLJ had more competition. But, everyone is buying tons of TLJ blu-rays and DVDs because they hated it so much, right? https://www.polygon.com/2017/12/18/16792184/star-wars-the-last-jedi-rotten-tomatoes-review-bomb It has the worst fan rewiews, according to who? Rotten Tomatoes, which can be easily gamed and spammed, and people have admitted to doing this to the TLJ score. https://www.starwars.com/news/poll-what-is-your-favorite-star-wars-movie On StarWars.com it was voted everyone's third favorite Star Wars movie with 14% of votes, after Empire with 41%, RotS with 21%. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2527336 Imdb has 7/10 stars. https://www.surveymonkey.com/curiosity/viewers-loved-the-last-jedi-and-its-a-good-sign-for-star-wars-future/ It gets good reviews from SurveyMonkey and an A from CinemaScore. Both of these were talking to actual people who saw the movie. Far more reliable than Rotten Tomatoes. Marvel isn't Star Wars. Star Wars movies were previously infrequent. One every three years, and a decade or more between trilogies. People are just getting used to one a year, much less multiple. You're also ignoring the thing I said about competition and poor advertising. Then there's the fact that people were saying they didn't want this movie and weren't interested in young Han not played by Ford. Funny thing is, it's very much a fan service movie and people who hated Last Jedi would probably like it.
  10. Well that arc is supposed to be really long, so makes sense the season would be.
  11. Pretty sure Zenos had them all gathered so they aren't in a place that will possibly get destroyed, since they're the reward for winning.
  12. Even Mr. Satan was smarter than Goku on that one.
  13. But you said he got sick when Yu Yu Hakusho was ending. So if he had retired then and didn't start Hunter x Hunter, he wouldn't have left anything unfinished.
  14. But after that he got their entire bomber squadron killed in his asinine attack on that dreadnought, disobeying orders, to do it.
  15. Sure you won't. It lost money because it came out just 6 months after The Last Jedi, when people are used to December and Star Wars once a year, and went up against Infinity War, Deadpool 2 and a bunch of other competition, and was poorly advertised. Supposedly Lucasfilm even asked to delay the movie until December but Disney refused. Lucasfilm didn't announce any movies that were said to have been canceled and hasn't announced anything was being canceled. I think some people probably just weren't interested in the movie as a concept, either.
  16. You say that like it's a good thing! Whiny fanboys screwed us out of getting Darth Jar Jar!
  17. Fans drove Adam Best to nearly commit suicide, drove Jake Lloyd to literal madness and ruined his life, drove Lucas to lose all enthusiasm for Star Wars and sell the franchise off, cause Daisey Ridley and Kelly Marie Tran to delete their social media accounts and go off the grid... there's real piles of shit amongst Star Wars fans.
  18. Torching all the build up on the mystery of Snoke and who Rey's parents were is not good writing. I mean I guess it's bold, but it's awful. I thought Mark Hamil was just being a cranky old guy when he went around before the movie came out saying how they screwed up Luke's character and Luke would never act the way he does in the movie, but he was dead on. Why is this spoilered? It just makes it more of a pain in the ass for me to reply to. The movie has been out for 9 months, which is plenty of time for people to have seen it. But not enough time for people to move on from bitching about it, apparently. That build up mostly is by the fans. Snoke isn't nearly as important or interesting as a bunch of guys with endless fan theories think. What was he going to do that was so interesting? All I ever heard about was what's his back story, when we never got one for the Emperor in Jedi and no one cared then. He was just the big evil guy. I told you that Rey Random was set up by the conversation with Maz and the fact that she's never been off Jakku, with her comment of seeing all the green on Maz's planet. And how about making sense for the plot? For Rey to be related to anyone special, it means she was either mind-wiped, or dropped off on the planet as a baby, for reasons, and those parents are terrible since they left her on such a shit hole in the care of Unkar Plutt and never went back for her. So whatever past character(s) are her parents would be "ruined" that way, too, according to you. Mark Hamill changed his mind after the movie came out. Snoke looks pretty old, where was he for the last 50 years? Just keeping to himself with massive force powers? Guess he decided to bide his time on this one eh? I guess. And I'd wager he's been around way longer than that. I mean, JJ didn't explain it, either, but there's still one movie left. Luke has a vision so tries to murder his nephew while he's sleeping? Uhhh right. The same guy that wouldn't kill mass murderer Vader? Luke dies because he used too much energy for a force projection? Stupid. He tried to kill Vader but stopped. It's the same thing here. And Luke didn't even get that far this time. He just thought about it and took out his lightsaber. Luke shut himself off from the Force. The ability he used was obviously taxing. I'd say that and the fact he hadn't used Force powers in forever is what did him in. Rusty and over-exerted himself. People don't have infinite energy, you know. Leia suddenly can use the force and not die in space? Stupid. Leia could always use the Force. She saved herself instinctually. Not sure how that's any different than Luke grabbing the lightsaber in the wampa cave or any other self-preservation instinctual uses of the Force we've seen. Rey is a Mary Sue. She's been using the force for under a week and already defeated Kylo and Luke in combat. Even young Darth Vader couldn't do any of the stuff she does. Rey is open-minded and trusts in the Force. Luke was the opposite. He couldn't lift the X-wing because he didn't believe he could. So, being a Jedi is not like a videogame. You don't unlock new powers by level-grinding and increasing your Force Mana stats. It's about state of mind and belief in the Force. Kylo was injured by a weapon that throws other people across the ground, and was emotionally shaken from killing Han. He wasn't trying to kill Rey, either, but capture her. And Rey was pushed back the entire fight until she gave herself over to the Force. Bested Luke in combat? Lmao you think that was besting Luke? That wasn't a serious fight. Luke could have beaten her if he wanted to. Not sure what you are on about saying Vader couldn't do stuff like this. Kylo got beaten in the first movie by someone who turned on a light saber once. No credibility as a villain now. Well he killed Snoke, and as I explained earlier, a more focused, uninjured Kylo is something to worry about. Now he can be the tryant and do whatever he wants, and given how unstable he is, it makes him dangerous. Daisey Ridley can't act. You're a poor judge of acting skills. Daisey Ridley can't act because you don't like Rey? Ok. Rose makes Jar Jar look wonderful by comparison. Finn tries to sacrifice himself to save the rebels, but Rose knocks him out of the way.... which would probably have killed the entire rebellion and doomed the galaxy. But it's ok because she likes him or something. Finn's rickety-ass speeder was melting just from the targeting beam. It was obvious he wasn't going to do any damage to the weapon. Finn was supposed to have some sort of beef with captain Phasma but she dies after a 30 second fight. That was supposed to be his main nemesis by the way, the lady that got 1 minute of screen time. No disagreements that Phasma was poorly handled... in both movies. She's basically the Boba Fett of the sequel trilogy. Too much else going on in the movies for her to get more time though. And she was added as an afterthought, because that cool design was originally for Kylo's armor, but they didn't want to waste it. So uh, where's the rest of the New Republic? Their fleets? Their thousands of planets? Why is the First Order so strong again? Apparently most of it was lost at the Hosnian system. They said that in TFA. Maybe the others are running scared. They did just see a whole solar system get destroyed. The First Order has been able to amass their forces for decades unmolested in the Unknown Regions because the Republic didn't consider them a threat. That was why Leia had to form the Resistance in the first place. Leia Han and Luke accomplished literally nothing in the last 40 years. Han returns to being a smuggler and Luke basically turns Kylo evil by trying to murder him in his sleep, then spends the next 30 years sulking alone on a rock. They accomplish nothing, the galaxy is a terrible place, and then they die for dubious reasons. If Lando comes back in the next one they'll just have him die in some stupid way.... oh and I hear he's pansexual now? Luke had a Jedi Order going until Kylo ruined it. Leia was doing good as a politician and general. Han went back to old habits after Kylo left. Umm it wasn't 30 years. Did you see how old Kylo was in the flashback? He's still played by Adam Driver, so he was still an adult or at least late teens there. Well that was the whole thing... Kylo turning ruined everyone's lives. And like I said, the trilogy shows what happens when the good guys are in charge, and it showed that things don't always go perfectly. The pansexual thing is a nothing burger. Going by Star Wars standards, it just means you're attracted to someone outside your species, which means most everyone in Star Wars is pansexual. All it means is Lando will fuck a droid or anything else that turns him on. Luke doesn't want to help and didn't want anyone to find him.... but left a map so people could find him. He... didn't leave a map. That old guy had part of a map and gives it to Poe. Kylo says they got the other part from the Imperial archives. R2 accesses the entire Imperial network on the Death Star which is how he got that same part of the map as the First Order. He was in sleep mode all those years looking for it. They put the map together and HOPED that's where Luke went. So no, he didn't leave a map. And if he did, why would he split it apart like that? And the big fail that ruins the entire concept of Star Wars... the hyperdrive suicide attack. Hyperdrive doesn't work like that. Because of that stupidity, there would be no reason to ever build a big ship. Or a Death Star. Because you could just kill them with a smaller ship by pointing it at it and sending it into hyperdrive. So the entire concept of space fighting in Star Wars is just ruined. Any time you see a big ship you'll just be thinking..... well why don't they just one shot it like that one lady did that time? But it does? In Star Wars, Han says if you fly near any object your ship will get destroyed. So yeah, hyperspace is used as a cheat to get around going faster than light, but you are still affected by real objects in the normal universe. Either way, it appeared to me that the ship was accelerating to light speed but hadn't made it to hyperspace then they collided. Waste of resources factions like the Rebellion and Resistance don't have, nor would they just plain resort to kamikaze for the lulz. No indication they would do that as a culture, as Top_Gun said. And the destructive level isn't nearly as high as it would be if Star Wars used real science. Going by what we saw, the Death Star would be fine, and most other large ships. By the way, Anakin messed with the controls of a Separatist starship in Clone Wars and made it hyperspace into a moon, so no, this isn't new. Basically it wasn't just a bad movie like say... The Phantom Menace. This was a franchise killer. It's a franchise killer when half the shit you're complaining about is from TFA? And it grossed 1.3 billion? Top selling blu-ray and DVD of 2018? Think it's safe to say you're in the minority here and the franchise is just fine. Also, people were very upset with the prequels. They spent their whole lives imagining what those movies could be, and when they didn't live up to their ridiculously built up expectations and the movies they wrote in their heads, they flipped the fuck out. It's the same case here. IT DIDN'T GO THE WAY THAT YOU THOUGHT. And don't you think it's worse to have "ruined" Anakin's back story than whatever comes afterward? It's easier to ignore the sequels than it is the prequels, especially since those were 100% George Lucas's vision, and these are made by other people. Now, Phantom Menace and Clones are definitely the worst Star Wars movies, but I can't bring myself to hate them. They still have redeeming qualities. Revenge of the Sith I think is a peer with the original trilogy, though. Still, it can be argued that Lucas "ruined" some things, like Anakin's relationship with Uncle Owen, and his back story. It's pretty obvious going by the old movies that Anakin grew up on Tattooine with Owen and was possibly even his blood relation brother, not some step-brother he met like once for a few days. As Obi-wan describes it, Anakin goes off to fight in the Clone Wars, which Owen felt he shouldn't have gotten involved. When Obi-wan describes first meeting Anakin who was already a great pilot, I sure as heck wasn't thinking he met him as a kid who was doing pod racing. There's tons of other stuff like that. And if you've looked into anything involving Lucas's sequel plans, and what he's said, that TFA is a movie fans would like, that people would probably hate his sequels... these were never going to be the movies you imagined. And you were ok with all of that and LOVED it? That's why I had a little trouble believing my eyes on that one. If you weren't familiar with Star Wars at all and saw it I can see why people might like it, it's a beautiful looking movie. But you're familiar with Star Wars yeah? And you still liked it? That's just baffling to me. I've been a Star Wars fan all my life. I wasn't old enough to see it when it first came out, but I have no memory of never not knowing Star Wars, seeing the original trilogy for the first time and not knowing what would happen, it's like the Force for Rey, as Maz described... it's always been there, lol. I've got a bunch of the old games and books, some comics, collected to the toys for years. So yeah I've been a big Star Wars fan all my life and I loved the movie. There's also the fact that Rian Johnson admitted that he just tossed out all the notes given to him from the previous director so there's absolutely zero coherence between the first two films of this trilogy. And he asked for notes from JJ and JJ said his script was fine as is and even said he wished he could direct the movie himself because of how good it was. So clearly JJ was fine with it and thought Rian's story was better than whatever he had in mind. And I don't know what movies you were watching if you thought there was zero coherence.
  19. Just because they are strong warrior women is no reason to assume they're lesbians. And someone being fond of someone doesn't mean they're romantically interested in them. From what I can tell, the intent was they treat guys like they have cooties, like little girls. It's a joke.
  20. I thought that was done by census or survey. Of course, that relies on the person answering honestly.
  21. No one has heard of Saitama. Gotta register heh. Some weirdo spouting nonsense and viewed with great suspicion. LOOOOOOOL he's STILL alive.
  22. Is that his hair or a hat? Why didn't he use full power against Sonic? He's a lot like me because spinning arms and spares him lmao. You call that an innocent smile?! LOOOOL punched in the nuts! What kind of person would possess such a redundant name.
  23. All decapitated. Lmao took out the golden turd. Hahaha hit him in the back of the head and he falls right over. Survived because of his thick skull.
  24. Mumen Rider. Golden turd lmao. Strider Hyru!
  25. Stole his look and ruining his name.
