There once was a man named Gold Roger, who was King of the Pirates He had fame, power, and wealth beyond your wildest dreams! Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the final words he said: "My fortune is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first I left everything I own in One Piece..." Ever since, pirates from all over the world set sail for the Grand Line, searching for One Piece; The treasure that would make their dreams come true! YO! Ya-yo, ya-yo! Dreamin'! Don't give it up, Luffy! Dreamin'! Don't give it up, Zolo! Dreamin'! Don't give it up, Nami! Dreamin'! Don't give it, give it up, give it up, give it up Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it UP! Here's how the story goes, we find out 'bout a treasure in the Grand Line, there's no doubt The pirate whose eye is on it, he'll sing I'll be King of the Pirates, I'm gonna be King! Ya-yo, ya-yo, ya-yo... oh-ho! His name is Luffy! That's Monkey D. Luffy! Gonna be king of the pirates! He's made of rubber! How did that happen? Yo-ho-ho, he took a bite of Gum Gum! Ya-yo, ya-yo! His name's Zolo, he's just like a samurai And a L-A-D-Y, Nami's not shy Usopp's doin' that marksman thing Sanji's cookin', Chopper's doctoring! Ya-yo, ya-yo, ya-yo, oh-ho! Set sail for One Piece!

Alacron posted:Super Robot Wars is a mecha anime mega crossover turn based stregy RPG game franchise with over fifty games. While the series has been almost exclusively a Japan only franchise due to licensing issues and general lack of interest in the west, they've recently ventured out into providing full English translations, ostensibly for the South East Asia market but with the side effect of making them very easy to import and play for English speakers the world over. SRW owns and the new ones in english got some pretty good translations. Def worth playing. Ariong posted:First let me tell you where you can go to hear a long, exhaustive explanation of my political opinions. You know, just to make it sound as unappealing as possible. They asked for an explanation and I'm trying to move this discussion away from this thread. I'm pretty sure most if not all posters here are uninterested in this.

I know, I’m just joshing on how “long and exhaustive” was maybe not the best choice of words for convincing people to have a look. It wasn’t a bad post or anything. Jamie Faith posted:What does "Ya-yo" mean? Its sounds cool/funny but I have no idea what the pirate rappers are trying to tell me I’ve never heard it but just from reading it it kinda sounds like a bad attempt to blend ya-har and yo? Maybe they thought using yo ho ho would be too obvious?

my prediction for the snyder cut is that it will come out and it probably will not be much better than the original cut and nobody's opinion of the movie will be particularly changed in any direction. e: also most people won't even watch it Casey Finnigan fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Oct 25, 2020 |

CharlestheHammer posted:I think that’s the problem, even if you look at it in the most positive light, it’s still a character that most of the time exists to be owned. Okay, yeah I do think that's fair. I started watching the Voting video to see the context for her Tabby tweet and the setup of that one in her own words is "a conversation with the communist twitter catgirl who lives in my brain". So even when she acknowledges the points "Tabby" raises, they do still exist for her to ultimately knock down as part of her wider justification for voting a certain way, reducing Tabby's concerns and character to points that must be rebutted. Jamie Faith posted:Only 10 pages in the new thread and we're already yelling at each other over Snyder. Terrific! I genuinely welcome Snyder arguments over meditating on political nihilism.

I can't fathom the desire for a director's cut of Justice League when you can just watch Shazam and Birds of Prey a second time. It takes less effort to make a new good work of art than it is to fix an inherently bad work of art.

This was what I thought until I heard that he's adding Jared Leto's Joker in. That's a powerful commitment to...something. Probably not something good, but something.

"Effort" might be the wrong word, but trying to edit a terrible movie into being good is going to be harder than just shooting a good movie in the first place. If you're Zack Snyder, both are equally impossible.

A good edit can make a film wonderful, but there has got to be the raw footage there to do something with. Like, nothing on the edit can save the Amazon's section from their awful armor.

Srice posted:I feel like this statement really underestimates just how incredibly important the editing process is wrt film-making. You can only edit a film with existing footage. Like sometimes you have wizards who make A New Hope, but you usually don't. And the Snyder cut relies on Snyder making good movies which he objectively does not do.

Terrible Opinions posted:I don't think that. I don't even like most Snyder movies, I just think performative hostility to the idea of people who like it getting what they want is weird. Especially given that the stuff they like was legitimately harmed in one of the most extreme ways I can think of for a work of art, having Whedon added to it half way through production. Don't forget that lot of scenes that featured Ray Fisher (who played Cyborg) and other actors of color were cut or reshot for the theatrical cut. That's genuinely more upsetting to me than, like, not seeing Darkseid or whatever.
