Carrie Fisher was a Warrior Princess before Xena was even learning to spell her name!

Apparently she already wrapped all her filming for Episode 8. My friend Espiga had the idea that Episode 9 could start with a giant space battle, Leia's ship gets destroyed by the First Order, and then we have a funeral, with everyone looking sad. Don't even show her, and no flashbacks. (Speaking of which I just realized Star Wars rarely if ever does flashbacks, Rogue One showed child Jyn but then did a timeskip to her as an adult, so...) The most respectful thing to do. I don't think it would be right to recast her or cgi her. Of course, I'm sure they hadn't planned on killing off Leia, since Han already died, narratively speaking, but it can't be helped. The real Princess has passed away. :'(

Why do the celebrities we love always die and the ones we can't stand live forever? :-\

What? ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?! Jesus Christ. WHY GOD WHY?! DAMN IT! GOD DAMN IT ALL TO FUCKING HELL! IT'S NOT FAIR! Damn. I don't know what to think. Thought for sure she'd pull through. This is awful. This year needs to hurry up and get over with ASAP! Fucking A man. I said a prayer for Carrie Fisher last night, too, to pull through and make it. *sigh* I guess it was just her time to go. Still sucks she is gone, though.

Didn't know that. That also, then!

Also wordplay. Clima-tact and Clime-attack, heh. Tact is short for tactical. Japanese do weird abbreviations and word ligatures like that all the time. Like Super Famicom gets shortened to "SuFami".

GISELLE GEWELLE "GIGI" FAN CLUB Not only is she possibly a lesbian character, but Giselle Gewelle is trans, and she's not stereotypical or "ugly" or "manly". She's legitimately as cute as any other Bleach girl, and what's more she's one of the most powerful and troublesome Quincies the Soul Reapers have to deal with, and she gets lots of screen time, tons of fight time, and she even joins the good guys with some of the others later on! I really hope she wasn't killed by Bach along with the other Stern Ritters that joined the Soul Reapers against Bach. Many Bleach readers thought she was cute and many were disappointed when it was confirmed she's trans, and even in a data book that she still has a... thingy. Several characters, particularly Yumichika, act like transphobic assholes, which she naturally gets pissed off about. She doesn't say one way or another if they are "right" about her "not really being a girl," she just gets pissed and starts laying out ass beatings. But yeah, Kubo is... much better with LGBT characters than most Japanese entertainment creators, even if he doesn't always etch things into stone and make it super obvious for you with some character stuff, particularly sexuality and romance. I'm sure it probably has to do with his "no romance" policy... which he nonsensically abandons in the last several months of the manga, when up until then it had been mostly teasing and trolling on the romance front (not that the final pairings aren't a massive troll in and of themselves). But okay. But I mean, how can you not love this face? <3

Naruto Shippuden Episode 139 Discussion

Bahahahaahaha ;D ;D ;D ;D -
You've been bitching all this time and you haven't even seen it? FFS. Toriyama doesn't hate Vegeta. You know nothing. If you weren't so hard for Vegeta and annoyingly obsessed with him, you would realize that. I swear, you're like Ranlsa with her HITTING and BULLYING shit, how she was with Edward and Inuyasha. Ugh.

Umm those moments were the best thing about the original Dragonball. World building, seeing all the people all over the world, spending time and getting to know them, nice, charming scenes, comedy, slice of life, more of a story, etc... So it sounds like Super is an improvement over Z, to me. That's part of why I liked GT, too. It was more like Dragonball as well.

one thing I'm noticing about the load time

They "snag" every week when Toonami airs. -
How about a Pets Folder, Luuv? I think we have the userbase, traffic, and enough people with pets to support it.

Naruto Shippuden Episode 139 Discussion

Really? -
The time for Toonami to get multiple days is growing ever nigher...

I think you are just too neurotic and obsessed with Vegeta, but I will see for myself and judge for myself when Super airs. That sounds like a great episode, lol. Yeah, that is a better use of Goku's character, and he should be treated that way. He's a jackass. And to be fair, he still gets treated that way in DBZ, just not as often, but to be fair, that's probably because Goku is always laid up for most of the show, lol.

So how many people in Europe would die if this thing went off?

That's because Vegeta is usually the butt of the joke, the George Costanza, if you will, which again, works for his constantly struggling and put upon character that always gets the short end of the stick despite being the most elite Saiyan ever before he enters the story. Byakuya, on the other hand, is the "winner" in the jokes, deftly negotiating various hairy, ridiculous, silly situations and making others into fools and to look silly, all the while being funny but not acting completely out of character, as he does unexpectedly funny things that would almost seem out of character, but don't, and it works very well. ;D It's sort of like the "big brother" scene with Seshomaru at the end of the Final Act, or any of the comedic scenes Sesshomaru has with Jaken, really. But as I said, these characters are the higher person in the joke, "the winner,", where Vegeta is the lower person, "the loser." And there's nothing wrong with that. Meanwhile, Byakuya and Sesshomaru both "join in", but don't look silly, remain stoic, as you said. I think the whole gimmick of the comedy with Vegeta is this big, tough, serious angry guy doing all this silly stuff. I'd compare that more to Kenpachi and his dynamic with silly, adorable Yachiru. A little girl that gets to order him around and call him by a pet cute name - "Kenny" or "Ken-chan", I'll remind you. Vegeta struggles, he trains, he tries his best. I think it's good to show that sometimes no matter how hard you try, you may never achieve your goal, but you should never give up, because that would be even worse, and people will always respect you for that, regardless of your ultimate win-loss/end goal successes in the end. Saying that Vegeta is ruined as a character because of how he is handled in situations like this or his "win-loss record" would be like saying people should hate Shawn Michaels because he lost so many of his great, memorable matches, and lost a lot of matches in general, therefore he's a humiliated, worthless character and a loser. Not true at all. You can easily lose and come out looking like a rose, and some characters it doesn't hurt at all. Ash loses constantly and it's good because it shows kids that same lesson I just mentioned, plus it's more realistic. You've got to lose a lot to learn things and progress, improve.
