I haven't read any 7DS past the first couple of volumes because of the relentless sexual assault "comedy" but from my understanding they've spent the last 20 chapters on a extraneous final villain fight against someone who was at no point during said fight a credible threat. Is that a fair assessment?

Yeah, the guy they've been fighting for the past several volumes went from a major threat to a laughable pushover who has long overstayed his welcome

The Arthur/Merlin stuff is probably just tying loose ends. I expected the simps of the ADTRW Shounen thread to grasp this but I guess I'm proven wrong.

RatHat posted:Seven Deadly Sins 334 The only good part of this chapter is Meliodas pouring one out for Escanor. Who shouldn't have had to die because of Meliodas in the first place. At least not now since it seems he was always doomed for an early death given Sunshine's strain on his body. But Nakaba didn't really make that a thing until just now.

Seven Deadly Sins has to be one of the most squandered concepts ever since the One Shot was actually really good and quite promising looking. But then we got this loving mess.

Even better still, they had you beat him again in the exact same way because it was the exact same fight.

At least not now since it seems he was always doomed for an early death given Sunshine's strain on his body. But Nakaba didn't really make that a thing until just now. That's not quite true though. During the battle with Meliodas Merlin mentioned he also damaged himself. Before the attack on the Meliodas egg he was coughing up blood. And finally, Meal said it outright when he gave Sunshine back. It was pretty heavily telegraphed that he was in trouble. doomrider7 posted:Seven Deadly Sins has to be one of the most squandered concepts ever since the One Shot was actually really good and quite promising looking. But then we got this loving mess. Personally I'd say that it was good right up until the counter attack on the 10 commandments started. But yeah, this is starting to feel like Bleach. Except without the cool moments like Bankai reveals.

Since someone mentioned squandered concepts what is the squandered concept of Sins? Because I never really got into it at all because I found the art just super unappealing so I wanna know what the big deal was that I was missing out on... Or I guess not missing out on because it was squandered I guess.

The author's also said he wanted to do a sequel with Arthur a while back so either it was a red herring or he changed his mind.  It really does feel like the manga is on its last leg and somehow still trying to cling to life.

Because I never really got into it at all because I found the art just super unappealing so I wanna know what the big deal was that I was missing out on... Or I guess not missing out on because it was squandered I guess. I didn't read the one shot, but for me originally it was just that it was a lighthearted and easy read with a group of goofballs who aren't taking this whole thing seriously. Basically the same reason I'm still reading Edens Zero. There's something really amusing (to me at least) when you look back at an arc and realize the entire ordeal could've been greatly sped up if they just stopped goofing around and straight up fought whoever. It's why I liked the movie as well, the lead could've solved all problems if he would've just told the guards and bride that he wasn't the guy they were looking for. Instead he just kinda goes along and goofs around for no real reason like some sociopath and fights some random villains. Combined with the occasional teamwork effort and it was pretty good. Unfortunately, the lead being a pathological lier and dick also means he basically had one of his best friends commit suicide in his name in the most recent chapters.  But that doesn't get called out at all, at which point it just becomes bad writing.The writer is just really bad at power levels, constantly writes himself into a corner and asspulls a save. Prime example being Merlin. She was turned to stone and a big deal was made out of it that she was only barely hanging on thanks to her special weapon...that is until she literally remembers that she's actually immune to curses so she's fine now. Brought To You By posted:But this is after how many real life years of Escanor the character just destroying everyone with no problem associated with Sunshine being in his human body? Not to mention his actual lifespan if we're to assume 'The One' state does the most damage to him and he automatically goes into it every single day and he's in his 30s to 40s right? I buy that keeping himself in 'The One' state is damaging, and getting pummeled by the likes of Assault Mode Meliodas is going to cause lasting damage. I'm just saying if he was always cruising for an early grave Nakaba kind of forces it to be right here for reasons most likely related to the Sequel he wants to do with Arthur. But Escanor biting the dust just leaves a sour taste in my mouth since the biggest catalyst was him prolonging his fight with the Demon King and that's more on Meliodas for not stepping up sooner since we know he could also beat his father no problem. But I agree with everything you've said. Darth TNT fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Nov 27, 2019 |

Or I guess not missing out on because it was squandered I guess. But the back half of this final arc keeps having "but wait!" Moments and false endings and pretty lame finishes. Some characters do almost nothing- Diane for example didn't really get a halfway decent fight for the entire series. Merlin basically just is girl Aizen and can do basically anything. The arc villain is boring and less interesting than most of his minions. Stuff that was kinda foreshadowed or left in the air (each sin has a special weapon, one characters weapon had been missing the entire series and Merlin just is like "oh I got it right here" after a zillion battles where it would've been nice to have) gets half-assedly resolved in a way a cancelled manga would do it. Escanor is one of the few (pun intended) bright spots because his character is so fun and his premise ("what if there was a good guy who was arguably stronger than the MC that DIDN'T job. Ever.") never got old.

Meanwhile in Fairy Tail Sequel Cana wasn't actually mind controlled because she was too drunk, and Laxus defeated one of the story's villains through the power of his low self esteem. So, y'know, same old, same old.

At least Kubo understood he had to make his final villain feel threatening. Also, the whole fight was unnecessarily prolonged because the demon king was possessing the body of Zeldris, and Meliodas was insistent that he absolutely had to rescue his brother. Y'know, Zeldris. The unrepentant mass murderer. Who is the reason the demon king was revived in the first place. Definitely need to save him, because he's family, or something.

On the bright side, the Mangastream comment section had a special account named the great demon king. He was going around posting in nearly everything that he was the great demon king and how we were all doomed.

That being said it was implied he feels guilty for Zeldris becoming a mass murderer and all the stuff because he shirked his responsibilities as a brother and/or as a war leader. Does that justify his actions? I don't know, he comes off as a repugnant moron (both of them, really) so to me it fits how lovely he is.

Long distance would totally work. It's kinda bittersweet and we can have an "And they met 5 years later" moment. I'm gonna spoil the ending now. Yuiga finally gets his poo poo together and realizes he loves Uruka. But she's already on her way to the airport. The other girls all help out to get Yuiga to realize his feelings and get him to the airport (Kirisu drives of course) They think they JUST missed the airplane, but it got delayed allowing Yuiga and Uruka to have their little moment, kiss and promise they'll meet again 5 years later. Epilogue is a wedding. But not the one of Yuiga and Uruka but of Ogata and Sekijou. Mulderman fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Dec 8, 2019 |
