How would you rate the Black arc if Sean chooses to dub with that retardedassed SSJ4 voice for his base form?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Still a 1/10 pile, but now worth watching as dumb entertainment.

Thoughts on Mob Psycho 100?

Favorite music artist of all time?

Thoughts on Mob Psycho 100?

Pretty typical story. The only interesting thing about it is a protagonist trying to control his incredible power or not misuse it, and I've seen this done infinitely better in far many other works (eg. Aang's Avatar State in ATLA, A large amount of Marvel/DC heroes, etc.), plus we aren't even given an explanation on how he gained such power in the first place. Each episode also has pretty much the same structure of Mob not wanting to use his true powers, getting triggered by someone and using them. The characters are all pretty standard archetypes that you can always find a better version of in another series. Reigen is the best character out of the bunch, and even he's just a character going with the same traits as Mr. Satan from DBZ or Buggy from One Piece.
5/10 at most. Still better than One Joke Man.

Favorite music artist of all time?

Either Hironobu Kageyama or Ronnie James Dio.

 

[Boo Brand Milk]

Better Dio album:
Last in Line or Holy Diver?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Holy Diver for the original release, Last in Line for the deluxe edition.

If you've watched Avatar: The Last Airbender, what do you think about it ?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Only up to the last few episodes of Season 2 and I've gone into detail on Season 1 in the "Rate the last movie/TV series you watched out of 10" thread. Season 1 is a mixed bag due to having interesting characters and world building, but also making the destination of the plot's end too obvious (Aang will learn all the elements and defeat Ozai), as well as it's semi-episodic structure making the quality vastly vary between episodes. We have some good episodes such as the one revealing Aang and Zuko's pasts or the one with Jet, yet just as many terrible episodes such as the one with the two rival tribes or the fortune teller episode that make it obvious it is a kid's show at heart. The Avatar State is also a broken power up that made the season finale pretty underwhelming. Overall, I can't give season 1 any higher than a 5/10.

Season 2 seems to take most of my criticism of Season 1 and subverts expectations. The Avatar State is given some actual drawbacks both physically and psychologically to make it more engaging, all the episodes further the plot in some way and there are great improvements in regard to character development, especially Zuko. I still have a few complaints, such as Mai seeming very one-dimensional, at least compared to the other characters, or Toph's vibration sensing not being a valid excuse as to a little girl being able to beat the world's best Earth Benders in a show that acknowledges and limits powerscaling/power creep, but those are minor nitpicks. Only episode I actively didn't like was the latest one I watched, episode 17, since mind control is a terrible, overused trope when we're not given a reasonable explanation as to how Long Feng was able to do so or what his goals truly were. Hopefully, his story isn't completely abandoned after Team Avatar leave the city. So for, Season 2's a 7/10.

From what I've heard from Kenshi, Season 3 is terrible due to feature an abundance of asspulls, not to mention Ozai being a very one-dimensional evil villain. From what I've heard, the cast gain some good catharsis, so I doubt it'll necessarily be a 1/10 tier arc, but I don't have my hopes up for it.

What do you think about those guys reactions? Do you react that way when watching an epic scene like that one?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

What do you think about those guys reactions?

Very immature and overblown.

Do you react that way when watching an epic scene like that one?

No. Most I'll react to an "epic" scene is a grin or a slight gasp, and it takes a lot more than that scene to warrant such. I'll have more of a reaction to a comedy since that actively invokes laughter, especially if watching one with a friend.

Have you ever watched Gladiator? If so, what did you think about it?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Yes, though it was too long ago to give an in depth review. It's a good film overall, with entertaining scenes and a decent driving force for the plot, though the characters aren't as interesting as they could've been, with Maximus just being a simple avenger. Commodus is the only truly interesting character within it. If you care about historical accuracy as well, it isn't the best, such as the Germanic tribes chanting a Zulu chant or that historically, Commodus was strangled by the gladiator Narcissus. Whilst the ending was overall good, it could've been a lot more interesting if it went into the historically accurate portrayal of Commodus' death ushering in the gradual decline of Rome, which would've offered some more complexity towards the audience's feelings regarding his death.
May need to rewatch it, but from what I recall, it's worth about a 7/10.

What do you think about Sitcoms? Do you watch any?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Don't watch any beyond some classic British ones like Blackadder and Only Fools and Horses and The Inbetweeners (original version), as well as a few animated ones such as South Park. For the most part, I find them to be primarily average works at best unless they either conclude before they can become stale or if they mix things up with new content or narrative. Unfortunately, most modern sitcomes tend to not adhere to this and just repeat similar plots or jokes.
