I guess you just don't like statues and sculptures? I have a Nendoroid of Holo from Spice & Wolf because she is one of my favorite characters but I don't feel compelled to collect other Nendos just because I have one. I can understand the drive to collect though, when I played Pokemon I would make an effort to grab one of each just to fill out the Pokedex. People like to complete things, it's rewarding.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
I remember that the Big Bang Theory used to be on a lot in the break room of the supermarket I used to work at, and was frequently on whenever I sat down to take a break. After working seeing 15 minutes each of about 10 episodes, I remember there being exactly 1 joke that made me laugh. The rest was just nerd doing regular stuff, and Kaley Cuoco rolling her eyes.

I would watch another 15 minutes each of 10 episodes of BBT before buying a FunkoPop figurine.

As a kid if I wanted to stay up past my bed time the only thing I could watch was sitcoms on my local tv stations in Miami. Friends/Seinfeld. Didn't understand them but hey I got to stay up a little longer. Even then tho I could not stand a second of Big Bang Theory. It's not just some "I'm above their humor" but the actors just didn't seem to have any chemistry or care to be there. It's probably as big as it is for the same reason every CSI Spinoff has millions of viewers.

Anyway, back on topic and ho boy that season finale was tense. Although I'm sad they overlooked the whole Weak-All Might and Deku talking and Deku's mom runs up and never notices who Deku is talking to.

Also funkopop is bad in the same way I find anything built with "Mass production collectibility" in mind is, like Amiibos. Especially bad in this case because each Funkopop looks soulless with not a single bit of artistry involved.

I totally forgot about that, but i really liked that scene in the manga. Dekumom is such a great character, and it's little things like that that hammer home that, yeah, she's just a normal lady who is, duh, OBVIOUSLY worried about her son who comes to great bodily injury on these adventures on the reg.
It's so much more... normal and believable than the whole, "oh, goodbye my 13 year old child, have fun leaving home forever on your life-threatening adventures!" Thing anime and manga seem to do.

Why would she notice? Deku's classmates see All Might all the time, and some of them have seen Small Might too, and they haven't noticed.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
Speaking of nerds and terrible taste:

Apparently internet nerd t-shirt purveyor The Yetee was going to have a combo Tsuyu/Mineta set. People then alerted them about, well, what Mineta is all about and how that might not be the best character to put forward right after a major sexual predator scandal broke. So they decided to pull the Mineta shirt and keep just the Tsuyu one.

So of course anime nerds are being terrible about "snowflakes" and how "it's just a trope that he's a pervert! Laugh or don't watch!".

I can appreciate Mineta's role in the show and find him hilarious but anyone who would wear a t-shirt of him must be insufferable.

I got recommended Bungo Stray Dogs and it's definitely helping to fill that void (as well as being great in its own right). That and fanart should be enough to last me the next few months. Mina > Tsu. :ssh:

Controversial opinion: I'm actually not super fond of icy hot

When his back story was getting dived into I enjoyed it, but I can't say he's been a terribly interesting character outside of that. I hope he gets some more focus in the new season so he's not as dull

Also controversial opinion: I like bakugo a lot

Ularg

Bakugo is good when he is mad about something other than Deku or something Deku related. I agree on Shoto tho. Decent character but not really that interesting yet. Need to see more of his fun side.
