Bardock is somehow even dumber than Broly. Nobody ever gives a poo poo about Jor-el or Pa Kent, and nobody should ever give a poo poo about Bardock.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Why'd they give Krillin a new mega-powerful solar flare before the tournament and then not have him use it during the tournament? A move is only effective if it is revealed during the tournament, not before. Showing off your move in a sparring match and saying it's so much stronger than your other moves is basically just telegraphing that it will be useless garbage.

Kild posted:That's why HXH is so sick when the mentor character explains that a guy labeled say "50" could beat a guy labelled "75" or "90" because he had an excellent day or they had an off day or a variety of factors; you're not always at your peak and neither is your opponent. Ultra-quantifying shonen battles into literal graphs and bar charts seems incredibly lame and the end point of that particularly pedantic power level fan mindset. Does the show do anything to subvert this premise or is it genuinely how fight scenes play out in HxH?

I have always thought that fight was kind of lame because of that, much like Meurem was a lame antagonist. Then they go on to say he was just a B class threat, making the exact same mistake they did in Yu Yu Hakusho.

Meurem was great antagonist, he had an arc and was sympathetic even if you still wanted him to fail. Even if he was the most DBZ villian in HXH.

Meurem was insanely powerful but they have nuclear weapons and can just kill him. He's a threat because it takes a big weapon to take him out but he can be taken out by mass production weapons.

I do enjoy the idea of a shounen world that doesn't entirely, 100% revolve around fistfights. They can establish a villain and be like "Oh he's so good at punching" and the answer is "did you consider dropping a bomb on him? Watch him punch that."

I like the ones where the trap works and Fred gets very confused because that's not how that's supposed to work. Like the one episode in the new series where the monster never chased Shaggy and everyone was completely flabbergasted

Typically the rule is that if the audience knows about a plan in advance it'll fail. And vice versa.

I'm ashamed to admit as much as I love HunterXHunter the fights confuse the poo poo out of me. I've never gotten a good handle on how Nen works. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention when it was first introduced and I'm like the kid in algebra class that falls behind and is hopelessly lost the rest of the time. I just watch a lion guy use his iphone to summon a tidal wave and think it's cool and don't think much beyond that.

Nen is a system that pretended to be really intricate and numbers based early on, but by Chimera Ant it's clearly just powers that say "this character feels very strongly about x" which is much better from a story telling perspective.

Yeah it's established later in Hunter the A Class threats are stuff that like Diseases and strange dangerous beings that just can't be killed. (Plus Chimera Ants in general are considered a B ranked threat. Not Meruem)
