Which arc do you think is worse, the Juubi Revival/Juubito/Juubidara arc, or the Itachi Retrieval arc (aka the beginning of Itachi's meme worthy forced characterization)?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Nintendo,Xbox,or Sony which would you say is the better of the three?

I personally prefer Xbox out of the three due to better multi-platform capabilities when it comes to apps as well as its default cloud storage making losing data far less of a risk if your console crashes, though Playstation as of PS4 and onwards are better at game optimisation (eg. the huge difference in download speed). Nintendo is the worst of the three by far as the only thing it has any sort of edge in is some exclusives and their practices when it comes to re-releasing old games as well as anti-emulation is notoriously bad.

@Fantastische Hure The first Saint Seiya track is a very good one that really helped some of the more emotional and dramatic scenes, mainly those featuring Hyoga. The 2nd one is nice too in presenting an ominous feeling through its light yet eery tone.
For the Pokemon one, Takeshi/Brock's seiyuu does a good job at staying in character whilst singing, which can be a difficult thing to do for some. The lyrics are pretty simplistic, but for the Pokemon anime and its version of Brock, that's expected.

@Kenshi The Juubi events and onwards by far. The Sasuke retrieval may have been bad in Naruto's poor characterisation and the constant plot armour, but it wasn't to the extent of destroying everything the series stood for, flanderising villains it had constantly built up, ruining any semblance of logic to Naruto's character and having Obito reveal himself to be about as compelling as an M. Night Shyamalan film once the twist's been spoilt. The only arc throughout any of the manga that is on the same level of bad as the post-Obito reveal and onwards is the Sai Arc for just being 100% canon filler.

Why do you think the writing got so shockingly bad during the 4th Shinobi War saga? It was already pretty damn homosexual after Kakuzu's defeat with Pain's plan being so full of faggotry and completely conflicting with Tobi's later statement that he told Konan and Pain about his Eye of the Moon Plan (not to mention Itachi was the worst character in the manga until Kaguya and post-unmasking Obito topped him somehow), but literally all the bad plot decisions and bad character moments prior to the war can't even come close to the sheer retardation of "He was the coolest guy!" and "Black Zetsu was stringing everyone all along!" by themselves. Not to mention Sasuke's conversion at the end of the manga was probably the most literally homosexual moment I've seen in Shonen Jump manga and made Griffith and Guts' water fight look like a G-rated movie by comparison in terms of homoerotic undertones

 

[Captain Cadaver]

The most likely answer is the combination of Kishimoto only planning Naruto VS Sasuke to be the end, basically asspulling the journey up to that point instead of planning it out thoroughly, as well as how badly Jump's weekly schedule adds to this problem. The fact you had such bad writing as Itachi's motivations or the Pain Arc also set up the conclusion for failure long in advance through Kishimoto's desire to create more twists and constantly hammer in his theme of many conflicts being capable of resolution through discussion overshadowing any desire he may have had for coherent character writing.

 

[Papasmurf]

Why do you think Kishimoto and Kubo eventually devolved to forgoing all manner of coherent character writing and storytelling to shoehorn retarded twists into their series? Would you credit it more to lack of talent, or not having enough time to plan out their stories like Hiatus King Togashit and Oda (who seems to go on hiatus at least once a month, even though that hasn't helped Part 2 from becoming Hokkaido-Hen tier faggotry)?

 

[Keedounan]

It's such a shame that Kishimoto only ended up going for the Naruto VS Sasuke route. By the point of Shippuden, there were plenty of more interesting ways to end the manga. Which Naruto antagonist do you think had the most potential? Possibly even as the ultimate one?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

@Kenshi In Kubo's case, it'd be a big chunk of both as his peak was still a YYH/Saint Seiya ripoff and he even admitted to only wanting to draw cool things rather than care about the writing. For Kishimoto, he was far from stellar even at his peak, but still had enough talent to provide potential interest in his characters and words, so I'd say lack of planning time was the greater hindrance.

@Keedounan Pain if heavily rewriting his character as he served as a dark reflection of Naruto and, therefore, his ultimate trial in achieving his goal, not to mention his Rinnegan taking the talent vs effort message of the Neji fight to a whole other level of stakes (before the reveals of Naruto ended up ruining both). Kabuto also had a lot of potential as a third party who, like Naruto and Sasuke, progressed from the teachings of a legend of the previous generation, and Danzo was a fairly underrated villain too with his role in the Uchiha massacre being well handled and he brough some level of political intrigue to the series.

Thought on the new layout now that we got Donovan back?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Looks like the archives aren't incomplete anymore .

I will say it can be awkward to get used to after having the previous one for so long. Notifications for followed topics seem nowhere near as consistent as the previous version either, but hopefully that's only a minor bug. At least it's easier to post certain files like images and videos though.

 

[Papasmurf]

How do you think Watsuki feels about the fact that he hasn't even produced one manga that went above the 10 volume mark since Kenshin (unless he drags out Hokkaido-Hen to a dozen+ volumes lol), while One Piece and even Shaman King (series produced by his former assistants) have been far more successful? Not to mention his pedo secret has been out for more than 3 years.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

I doubt Watsuki cares at all about the length of his other manga or the success of others seeing as how him milking Kenshin with Hokkaido-Hen shows he's become acceptant of Kenshin being his only cash cow. The reveal of his private habits was probably far more damaging for him though as it's completely ruined his credibility and image outside of the quality of his work, though whether or not he seems to realise how important that is would be debatable when considering the strangely straightforward response he gave to his collection and tastes.

 

[Papasmurf]

Why do you think his wife hasn't divorced him after the public shame of his CP collection coming out in the open?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Difficult to say when knowing so little of her as a person, as it could be anything from financial dependency to having a more traditional outlook of divorce being shameful. The darker speculation would be that she could either not care or enable him (the former being fairly plausible when, in the eyes of Japanese law, Watsuki has paid his debt through the fine), though it's very difficult to speculate which possibility if any could be true when knowing little to nothing of her beyond her having been involved in a few Kenshin spinoffs and the 2002 Captain Tsubasa anime.

Those I didn't list either went into mid tier by default of being very average, by the books superhero flicks or it having been long enough since I saw them I can't offer a concise idea of where I'd rank them.

Age of Ultron is above Endgame?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Yes. Endgame has better highs, but is overall a far more inconsistent film due to the flaws with its time travel, not to mention how it butchered Thor and Hulk's characters as well as Bucky getting shafted as Cap's rightful successor, not to mention the plot holes caused by everyone not abusing the Time Stone so that there's zero repercussions such as what happened to Tony (considering Infinity War showed with Thanos taking the Mind Stone whilst Wanda watched that its abilities can be condensed down to just a small area if need be).
Also, that really forced feminist scene of the Marvel women just conveniently all grouping together is just .

I thought Steve had picked sam over bucky was because Bucky was a former assasin who did killed the leader of a country and countless other. But I feel as though endgame is the better movie imo because its more memorable. Also have you seen falcon and winter soldier show?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Bucky did all of that when brainwashed though, that was the whole point of Steve's primary motivation in Civil War of protecting him. Considering the extremes Steve went to bring him back and protect him (even becoming an outlaw in the process), how deep their friendship runs and the fact that Bucky is more physically comparable to him, there's no logical reason for Steve passing the mantle to Falcon instead just because that's how it is in the comics (despite the fact that Falcon was injected with super serum before taking the title there and the MCU has been more than willing to bend or merge comic events).
Haven't seen Falcon and Winter Soldier since the controversy over the 2nd episode as well as how Wanda-Vision turned out adds more proof that the MCU is essentially dead after Endgame.

Honestly they shouldve just had plans for the mcu to end after endgame. The average moviegoer doesnt know and gives a shit about shangchi and the inhumans crap.

Any expectations for the new spiderman movie?
