It's cool, he forgot the air conditioner. e: Also this had one of the fastest turn arounds for me of any manga. It went from chapter 1 "Oh goody, another whiny pissant shonen protagonist" to chapter 2 and "Huh, this has promise". Mulva fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Nov 13, 2014 |

Arist posted:That doesn't mean Mirio didn't job. If the ref gets knocked out and the wrestler you're up against brings in outside help to beat you and you lose, you still jobbed. At the end of that conflict the only thing I could think was "Yeah, Mirio with One For All would pretty much unquestionably have been the better choice". I didn't give a poo poo about the villain, and I didn't think he looked stronger by ganging up on one dude, stealing his power, and still being unable to end that fight quick.

Fabricated posted:So would Todoroki or Inasa or Bakugou in terms of raw power. The point is that Midoriya is more of a hero than any of them. Midoriya proved he was better than Mirio in that alley even if Mirio regretted his choice later and decided to change. I mean there's a long stream of One for All users that died to All for One the past, at a certain point it *does* come down to raw power and ability. A Mirio that can move as fast as All Might without having to worry about pesky things like "Wind resistance" or "Having to physically interact with buildings or people in his way" negates most conflict. "How will we deal with this entrenched enemy posit.....oh Mirio basically tele-punched all the dudes in the face instantly, fight over. Thanks Mirio!". I'd take a slightly less ideologically pure hero who happens to be orders of magnitude stronger. As would, you know, all the dead people.

Oh it's great having the total rear end in a top hat character actually face consequences for being a total rear end in a top hat. Much like it's kind of great watching most of Endeavor's kids go "Go gently caress yourself" when he tries to play better dad.

I like that the protagonist literally got a better version of what he's being attacked with for absolutely no reason, and is now perfectly capable of using it instantly. Or not, what's the other thing? I hate it. Shinsou deserved to either beat him here or got dropped clean, not have "Yeah, you know that rope binding thing you trained for months to use? I can do that now too! Also I have infinite magic ropes I can generate at will." dropped on him. Even if he wins it's a big "What the gently caress?".

The best part of all that is is that Barry Allen is such a moron none of that will ever matter and all he'll ever do with his power is make life worse for everyone around him. Conversely Franklin Richards power is functional omnipotence, and he's recreated the entire multiverse before. Flash is a basic bitch.

At the time it was written yeah, but I'm pretty sure they've given him most of that stuff as part of the general erasing of Wally West over the years. Which would be Wally's version of Barry's stupidity. Wally isn't Barry, so he'll eventually be kicked out of relevance so that bland ol' Barry can come back to the forefront.

They aren't perfect, but they've addressed practically every single flaw they had as a company. DC and Marvel have never done that. Still applies because when they were bad they did fall down the hole pretty hard, and that "otiose in a niche" statement is one of the most tone deaf and downright stupid things that has ever been publicly uttered by a human being. Just ever. Like holy poo poo.

M_Gargantua posted:Its the classic joker "everyone is just one bad day away..." reason that resonates so well when done right. The thing about the first time he said that is it occurs in a story where he horrifically brutalizes Jim Gordon as hard as it's possible and.....Jim doesn't break. He actually does that a few times over the years, with the same results. The point of that statement is it's the justification of a sad loser for how broken and petty they are. It's not actually true.

Like look at this trick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w1vMWsB3wc This is a trick they have performed a variation of, that they know in intimate detail, being performed in front of them with incredibly moderate changes. And look at the sheer childlike glee on their faces. Because God drat is that a showman, putting on a hell of a show. Even if someone walked up to you and told you exactly how a trick is performed, it doesn't mean it won't impact you to see it done.

Fabricated posted:All Might could cash the checks his mouth wrote but in the end his image was fake. He could be the best hero ever due to sheer psychotic focus/dedication+overwhelming power but he still had anxieties/fears/flaws- his whole shtick is an act where he can never show any fear or falter ever. And it ground him down to a nub and nearly cost him his life, and when he couldn't keep it up anymore this symbol he created basically died too and put society in a more precarious position than it would've if he had merely been a "great" hero instead of the "best" one that a whole system could be built around. Counter-point: All the current heroes loving suck.

People do remember that the deal with Sasuke wasn't that he was brooding and dark, it was that he was a sociopathic murderer that literally never did a good thing for another human being in his whole life....right? Dressing like Batman and not wanting your friends to get hurt is the least Sasuke thing ever, he was a man who was sacrificing his followers right up til the the final arc of the story.

He kills Danzo and a fuckton of samurai, and he puts a bunch of other people in positions where they will probably get killed. The only reason they don't is that plot happened. He's a complete monster for like 60% of the story, kind of an rear end in a top hat for like another 30%, and there's about 10% where we see vaguely functional Sasuke. Most of that happens in like the first 1/10th of the manga. e: It's not even like this is controversial, the longest running joke against the story is Naruto and Sakura spending years of their lives pining over a guy that was maybe sort of not an rear end in a top hat to them over a period of time that covers like 3 days.

Blockhouse posted:Sasuke literally took like three hundred needles to the back for Naruto and almost died what's this "sociopath who never did anything good" poo poo coming from Yes that would be the roughly 3 seconds of the story where he was actually tolerable. A reminder that Naruto ran for 15 years. That poo poo you are talking about was year 1. Literally, I think that chapter came out around September a year from when it launched. And as best I can remember that's about the peak of Sasuke being there for other people. That's the bit people remember fondly anyway, the early parts. Hell the entire first part of Naruto is only a third of the manga. 5 years or so. There was another 10 after that. And the dude was basically just a straight up antagonist from part II on, trying to kill everyone on a constant basis. Again, right up to the absolute last arc. There was never a Sasuke redemption arc. Hell they don't even pretend he had one in Boruto, it's just "Yeah he totally ghosted his family basically instantly after his kid was born." and the vague mention that he may be out there killing people for Naruto. And yes, the majority of the cast were war criminals training children to commit war crimes for, as best I can tell, absolutely no reason. Most of them earned a Chidori to the head. Sadly few of them got one. Amusingly this story does have a Sasuke in it. It's Shigaraki. He's basically just Sasuke if he got snake holed by the old man instead of winning.

She could have said her eyes shoot beams that instantly destroy all flesh they touch or any number of crazy things and there's gently caress all AfO could do about it, because her power lets her do instantly the type of bullshit he has to steal powers to accomplish. But that'd end the manga, so she's going to be stupid and it's also not going to work on him for arbitrary reasons.
