Since the bandwagon for this has appeared...

How would you rate The Big Short(2015)?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Never seen it, though as it's on Netflix, I may be able to rectify that soon.

 

[SSJ2]

If you had to permanently change your skin colour to one not currently seen among humans, what colour would you choose? And no you can't pick rainbow since I know you would.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Green so I can identify as a Namekian, or maybe purple to make things perfectly balanced as all things should be.

It's a good rendition of the Pirate Warriors theme, though I'd say the version from PW3 is still probably the best iteration of it. It's one of the better tracks in the game, though the honour of best goes to "The True Strongest Creature" (the theme played when fighting Dragon Kaido in the last part of the story mode or when facing Shanks and co. in the deciding battle of Treasure Log's New World difficulty).

what's your current top 10 mangas? have seems some lists made when topics were created, but they seem to be rather outdated.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

In terms of what I'd consider the best:

#1 - Ashita no Joe
#2 - Battle Angel Alita (Original + Last Order)
#3 - Fullmetal Alchemist
#4 - Lone Wolf and Cub
#5 - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin
#6 - Berserk
#7 - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 7 - Steel Ball Run
#8 - Monster
#9 - Hokuto no Ken (pre-timeskip)
#10 - Rurouni Kenshin

In terms of my personal favourites, it's a lot harder to rank based on emotional value, though most of those in my best would still be there and Dragon Ball would be included.

Why do you think that Asians (both East Asians and South Asians) and Jews excel in America's multiethnic melting pot while blacks and Hispanics reap the benefits of Affirmative Action and still end up topping out crime charts and rarely make it?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Aside from factors such as living conditions, the main one would be their history when it comes to compromise and business. Most Asians have had a strong history of foreign trade such as the Silk Road or Japan's trade with the Portuguese during the Sengoku Jidai, with Jews having established modern aspects of business on an economical scale that allow them to maintain a footing and comfortably excel in most countries. Meanwhile, most blacks and Hisapnics haven't been given the opportunity to develop such skills for centuries from having stayed primarily isolationist until European settlers became something they couldn't ignore and the conflicts that followed both didn't really offer the opportunity for them to advance to the same plateau of trade and compromise than races that had far longer stretches of history to hone that craft to the extent of assuring places in society's upper echelons.

Hey.

That's where the Battle Angel Alita (last order) ends at in the biggest brazillian site. It apparently doesn't fit the ending given at MangaLife. Is it too close to the real ending? I mean, does it still have ways to go in the story?

Spoiler

 

[Captain Cadaver]

The images won't show for some reason. Mangasee has all 124 chapters available, so that has it complete.
Without spoiling much, the conclusion of Last Order leaves some aspects of Alita's journey open for exploration in Mars Chronicle, but is otherwise quite cathartic and implements the elements of the intended ending of the original manga well enough that there'd be nothing wrong had the series ended there.

 

[ahill1]

sure. it's more so because I'm recommending my cousin to read this one but he doesn't understand English so he'd need to content with a Portuguese site.

I found out about that channel about a year ago. Pretty entertaining satires of Shonen mangaka, nonetheless.

 

[Papasmurf]

Do you agree with the practice of singling out Europe from the larger collective of Eurasia and calling it a separate continent, or do you think that by the logic that Europe is a continent, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Vietnam and the like) and East Asia (the Sinosphere) would all be continents as well considering they have just as much genetic and ethnic diversity as Europe? It's also interesting to note that the border between East and South Asia (the Himalayas) is much larger and geographically significant than the popularly accepted border between Europe and Asia in Russia.

 

[SSJ2]

Do you take advantage of your white male privilege every day?

 

[ahill1]

so Toriyama smokes? his stocks have just went up in my book!

lol I knew that already.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

[mention]Kenshi[/mention] I'd tend to just go with the more standard classification of the continents for simplicity, though I can agree with many points in the argument of making Eurasia its own continent and perhaps dividing Asia between the western, more Arab areas and the eastern, oriental side as the culture divide is greater than that between most European countries to each other. The problem with re-defining them, however, is that it opens up a can of worms as to whether or not other continents should be changed due to comparative differences in land mass and culture to the point leaving things as they are is a lot simpler.

[mention]SuperSaiyan2[/mention] I'd need to time travel quite a few decades into the past for such a thing to still exist beyond a small percentage of the elite, though I guess so much as breathing counts as me doing so amongst some circles.

 

[SSJ2]

So you're admitting that you are part of the problem the world currently faces? Not cool man.
