  2. So, my hunch was right! They won't be able to finish the story with this season alone, and they have announced a part 2 to season 4. At least that's good news. They don't have to butcher the source material to finish the series.
  3. Well, I say Margot Robbie is still hot as ever. So.... is this still part of the Snyderverse?
  4. Well, what do you know, they did include a lot of scene that completely altered the narrative. After comparing the Whedon and Synder version, I'm really starting to dislike Whedon. I mean, I hate it that he made a monkey out of Captain America in the first Avengers movie, now I've seen how he butchered Justice League. I'm starting to think that Whedon un/consciously sabotaged Justice League. With the Snyder cut, it opens up a lot of opportunities with all the fore-shadowng he placed in the movie. Only time will tell if we'll see the Snyver-verse gets expanded.
  5. I was never a fan of Dub, in any language whatsoever. There are just some emotions in the original language that cannot be replicated in another language. m Suffice to say, I have not seen any dubbing that I liked.
  6. Yes!!! That's why Erskine chose him! You can make anyone into a Super Soldier, but there is only one Captain America. Lol! Magical Frisbee.
  7. I liked the 2005 series because it continued the story. Ambiance-wise, I prefer the 80's, which really captured the essence of the Manga. The 2005 series was sorta kiddie proofed, despite it being broadcast on Wowow which is somewhat of an equivalent to Adult Swim.
  8. The problem with Hollywood adaptation of Anime is that Hollywood doesn't believe that the Anime has a big enough following to make money, and really believed that the average joe doesn't have any idea what anime is about. That's the primary reason why they went and casted a famous actor/actress to draw crowds, not knowing that doing so would have resulted in backlash. To be honest, my gripe with Hollywood adaptation of anime is not really about the casting, but more about the writing. I don't understand why they have this need to adapt the story to be palatable (or dumbed down) to American audiences. The reason they are popular in the first place is because they do make use much of American culture. What makes them so appealing is because of how different they are. My statement of this might cause a lot of hate, but if they had written Dragon Ball differently using the same cast, the movie might actually be decent. Actors portray the characters based on how they see them, and in this case, ScarJo portrayed it because this is how the writers presented it to her.
  9. I do agree with Tora about the logic behind Falcon catching the Shield. I mean logically speaking, if the shield can embed itself into a tree, how could a human hand be able to catch it straight? The shield can actually lop off a head with it's sharp edges. Even as a super soldier, it's nigh impossible not to get hurt just catching it. Unless you use some kind of device to safely catch it. Attributable perhaps to comics physics? Seriously though, if it is possible for Steve Rogers to catch it, it is doable by any ordinary person. You just have to notice that while Steve catches it using one hand, Sam Wilson needs to use both hands.
  10. I may have recalled this incorrectly, but Black Widow might be the second major movie they will release on Disney+? After the gaff with Mulan, they might be taking it very carefully on how they release this.
  11. Wow, that's something new. Funny banter aside, the plot looks very interesting.
  12. Aren't they gonna drop this in Disney+ anytime soon?
  13. They did a lot of things right with the previous Spider-Man. I guess Disney have finally realized that big money comes from listening to the fans. I'm just waiting for Disney to buy out Sony (or at least the right to Spider-Man) so they can go all out.
  14. You know, I have a feeling that we'll get more chuckles than action in this series. Just like marvel, releasing a trailer that's just a snippet of the trailer they previously released. With all the secrecy, one just cannot help but expect something explosive.
  15. For the most part, reflecting on your mistakes is one way to make you better. If you made a lot of mistakes you regretted, then that will only make you a better person. With age comes maturity and if you say you don't get angry or controlling as much, it is a sign you've outgrown your old self. Perhaps you're focusing too much on the past. Instead, why not think of what's to look forward to. How do you see yourself in 5 years, and are you happy with that possible outcome? If you dwell on your past, you won't be able to appreciate what you currently have. You had a tough time with your past relationship. Why not relish the one that you have right now and look for a better future. Can you honestly tell me you are not happy with what you have right now?
  16. Then I'm glad that I have Daughters as I don't need to compete with them with the consoles 😁. But we do compete over who watches TV. But then again, I usually give way to them. And I don't want to get another TV for their room otherwise they won't come out of there. Not really, aside from my work, when I'm at home, I usually need to take care of the household stuff. Right now, I'm renovating a room into a small office where the kids can do their online classes. It was supposed to be my game room which I didn't have the time to completely furnish. But then the pandemic hit and you know how it goes. Being in line of work I'm in, I'm usually the Handyman at home. The free time I have I usually cook and read. I do manage to sneak in a few mobile gaming that satisfies my gaming needs. But we're getting off topic. For console games, my cup of tea are simulation and old fashioned RPG, the likes of Super Robot Wars and Final Fantasy. Though the last main Final Fantasy I played was FFX. I'm mostly interested if there are any Super Robot Wars games coming to the PS5. I know I've missed a lot of iterations, but maybe there's this one game that would lure me back to console gaming, like how Symphony of the Night convinced me to get a PS one XX years ago.
  17. This may be slightly off topic, but I just bought myself a 75th Anniversary Captain America Shield. I'm very happy with this purchase and it does not feel like a toy. Now I'm ready for the zombie apocalypse.
  18. King Ghidorah = Kinky Dora Sorry, I just can't resist. For the life of my, I don't know why Kinky Dora keeps popping up in my mind every time King Ghidorah is mentioned.
  19. For cases where the Anime neared a certain point in the manga, I'm just glad that they don't put fillers here. I was heavily turned away by what they did with the Naruto and Bleach anime. Most of the anime that I watched that have surpassed the source material and deviates have been very disappointing. Which is why I'm very skeptical as to how they will end this. I can say that we all agree that there are no longer fillers similar to what they did with Dragon Ball Z.
  20. Perhaps there is a risk of introducing that virus to every zoanoid. Remember that Neo Zx-Tole has become a lost number because of all those modifications, and those modifications might not be compatible with their template. And it is also likely that they don't see Aptom as a major threat like that of the Guyvers and didn't even thought that he would join hands with his enemy.
  21. I'm no expert on break-ups, but I do know a few things about internal conflict. The way I see it, you are having trouble with acceptance. 11 years is a long time and it takes tremendous effort to have maintained a relationship that long, especially ones like yours. And it will take much more effort to move on from that. Did you regret your actions? It's natural to think of the past because there was something that had an emotional impact on you, be it good or bad. But then again, what is troubling you? Do you have thoughts that something similar may happen in your future.
  22. PS5 is scarce where I'm from. It also doesn't help that it's outrageously overpriced right now. Though I never planned on buying one. Free time is currently a luxury that I don't have much.
  23. To start, I think Guyver started on a different publication, which doesn't really quite have the reach like that of Shonen Jump. You'll notice that the titles you mentioned are all published in Shonen Jump. So more circulation, means more readers, means more popularity. You're practically guaranteed success if you get published in Shonen Jump. And since he's not on a weekly platform, there are less pressure to get an assistant or vice versa.
  24. I think there needs to be a distinction between Free speech and Bullying. A lot of the negative actions in the present all have the same denominator. Bullying. Many people have the mentality of "I don't like what you said so I'll rally some folks and shame you". I may be wrong but that is how I see cancel culture. Lambasting a person whether the intentions are good or bad, it's still a form of bullying. You commit one mistake and you are branded for life. And because of that mistake, your mental health takes a toll. I don't know if people are much harsher now or are much weaker mentally.
  25. Yeah, I think the MCU is now starting to retcon their origins since the rights to the characters have now fully reverted back to them. The Stark bomb not blowing up could be something they planted or it was a coincidental detail that they fully utilized. However they did it, it's genius. This makes re-watching the previous MCU movies much more worthwhile. They just keep increasing the replay value of the old movies.
