Typical Toyotaro asspulling at work once more, considering Galu's spamming of Blue never caused the form's strength to drop to below 10% as it did with Veggie.Idea of Gaslight said:

I'd call it more plot convenience than asspull since Trunks openly acknowledged that using blue twice like that wasn't smart and Galu seemed strained by the second usage, although yeah it was about as dumb as 
himself.
Though honestly this is the exact same problem the anime had with making Trunks more relevant than Bluegeta even before his SSJ Rage asspull. They could've made Galu be the one who only transforms once and have Vegeta repeatedly get stomped, and the anime could have Trunks challenge Black and get stomped and have Goku and Vegeta tag team
and 
and not much would be contradictory, but instead they had to give Trunks gains almost as haxed as Ultimate Gohan's.

Who you think would win a lightsaber duel between RotJ Luke and RotS Grievous?

Depends whether or not it's Disney Canon Grievous or his Legends self. Luke probably wins against his current canon self with how much of a jobber he's portrayed as in The Clone Wars, whereas Legends Grievous wrecks with how much of an unpredictable beast most of the Legends comics and the 2003 Clone Wars series portray him as.GreatSaiyaman123 said:

Have you watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and the other Indiana Jones movies? If yes, what do you think of them?

I've seen all of them.
The first three Indiana Jones films are alright, though vastly overrated. They're good for what they are, entertaining action/adventure films, though they certainly aren't masterpieces. For instance, Indy is a very cool character, but doesn't really develop throughout the series in order to maintain his power fantasy elements and can come off as a Gary Stu at many points, whilst the supporting cast have little characterisation beyond a few quirks or furthering the plot, aside from perhaps his dad. Don't really have much to say on them individually, other than that Raiders did what the series needed to do best, Last Crusade was almost as good aside from the plot convenience of the grail providing an overly happy ending and Temple of Doom is slightly below them due to the overly observant being able to tell from the date at the start that the film was a prequel to Raiders, thereby sucking out a lot of the tension.
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, however, is far below the original trilogy due to dumb plot conveniences (eg. the fridge scene), old man Indy taking out the one appeal his character had as a power fantasy, Indy's character regressing (finds aliens existing as impossible until proven, despite the fact he's seen something as inconceivable as the power of God no less than twice) and the film overall losing it's more mature, vicious elements and becoming completely family friendly (Indy having a vastly lower kill count than normal, not a single monkey dying in the car chase scene, etc.)
Raiders of the Lost Arc - 6/10
Temple of Doom - 5/10
Last Crusade - 5.5/10
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - 2/10

Mainly due to how they'd work on a non-Uchiha, since without a Sharingan to counter it, Tsukuyomi's nearly an instant win. If I were factoring in Uchiha on Uchiha battles, it'd fall down to 4th place.Idea of Gaslight said:

Or just a Rikudo Sennin relative hyping up "Muh Mokuton no Jutsu".Idea of Gaslight said:Well, not like it matters when everyone relevant later is a Sharingan/Rinnegan user or a Jinchuuriki2

I swear part 2 naruto is the definition of writing oneself into a corner. Imagine how easy it would've been for Madara to just Genjutsu Guy into oblivion if Kishimoto actually allowed him to make full use of his abilities.

Figures that someone who fapped to that much would've ran into the same problems that he did with the Cell/Boo Arcs in terms of character intelligence fluctuating (eg. Big Green not even attempting a Mafuba against Cell or 
forgetting he can paralyze far stronger opponents if they're off guard).

The majority of it is spent on talking about page layout and other superficial elements rather than talking about the plot and characters, which not only makes it completely lacking in substance, but something that could've been trimmed down to a 2-3 minute video and still get the point across just as well. Like most of Super Eyepatch Wolf's more recent videos, it's mediocre at best.ahill1 said:

Which scene you liked the most: The destruction of Death Star I or the destruction of Death Star II?

Death Star I since it was the culmination of everything the film had led up to and was the cause for the development of a few of it's characters, such as Luke learning to rely on the Force and Han's change of heart. Whilst I liked Luke's character arc and the conflict with Vader in RotJ far more, the Death Star II wasn't essential for it and it only exists to give the rest of the cast something to do. I like that it made the finale a group effort, but it certainly doesn't hold the same impact when Vader had been redeemed and Palpatine killed prior to it's destruction.

Thoughts on Jabba? Movie only.
