| Lopen 08/15/18 8:01:27 PM #177 | You can't use it as a counter example to outright win an argument because there are many many many more bad 300 lb wrestlers than good ones. I'm not saying that it's impossible to be a good wrestler while not having a great body for it, just that you will almost universally be a better wrestler as a total package if you do have one. And yes it is a form of laziness in the case of many, Kevin Owens included. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 08/15/18 7:57:49 PM #299 | Yeah I tend to agree with the overall reception of Beavis and Butthead and I like their schtick but the movie went on too long to support it. That being said on this list I'd probably call 11th an underrate mostly because that problem plagues a lot of these films and at least it has an above average plot (among this set) to try and carry the schtick getting old. That being said I think I'd prefer most sets of like 10 episodes over it. Again, true of a lot of movies on the list, though. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 08/15/18 7:39:22 PM #173 | Speaking as someone who has had his weight vary from 160 to 240 at 6' I guarantee it makes a lot more of a difference than you think it does even at levels below morbidly obese. You need to work a lot harder to be graceful with anything particularly physically taxing with 60 or 80 extra lbs on your body, not just flips. Like I just want us to not become so afraid of body shaming that we try to rewrite facts here. If you're fat there are a lot of things you can't do as effectively and wrestling is one of them (on both the working side and the image side because they both matter) no matter how many Samoa Joes and Kevin Owenses you can produce as attempted counter examples --- No problem!

This is not true to any kind of noticeable degree unless you're absolutely comically obese I mean I think you're not holding to the same standards I am here There's a difference between "can't move well when you walk" and "can't move well enough to not make bad blunders in vigorous physical activity" You would see more fat guys in sports that aren't football if it didn't matter at all. Now on the other hand football is a good example that yeah, big men can move effectively in athletic competition, but yeah. I'm 100% sure losing weight would make Nia a better worker. Maybe not better enough to be actually good, however. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 08/15/18 7:07:12 PM #148 | StealThisSheen posted... I mean most of the dangerous stuff she does is in how she drops/throws people, which has nothing to do with her weight Not necessarily. When you're heavier your balance is inherently not as good than it would be when you're light, which definitely factors into how well you can drop or throw people. I mean heavier wrestlers cause more injuries with slams in general that's just a fact. That's not to say every heavy wrestler is inherently unsafe or that light guys can't injure people, but yeah. It does make it more difficult to do your job effectively. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 08/15/18 6:46:13 PM #117 | StealThisSheen posted... That sounds like an issue with their character work, then. Not really. It means that being really good at something doesn't mean your other flaws in your package don't exist as flaws and that you can be less good at something if you remove those other flaws. StealThisSheen posted... I said you argued that it'd be okay to body shame her, which you did. No I said it would be okay to say she should lose weight if she wants to continue being a professional wrestler. She can go work as a software engineer or something and I don't care what her weight is. When your weight becomes relevant to your ability to do your job effectively it no longer becomes shaming though. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 08/15/18 6:42:06 PM #112 | For every Punk and Joe and Owens I can name literally dozens of guys who didn't have the character work to overcome a lack of caring about looking like an actual athlete, and a bunch of relatively less talented guys that got over because they just looked monstrous (and no let's not play dumb and say it was all booking here) but yeah let's assume some of the best workers of our generation are the norm and not the exceptions. --- No problem!

| Lopen 08/15/18 6:36:46 PM #108 | CM Punk I believe fits in the window of wrestling being a bit too harsh. Like, he's not in great shape, but he's in good enough shape that you can at least buy him as a legitimate athletic competitor (much less so now after I've seen his clumsy ass MMA but I digress). I do think he could've been a bit of a bigger star than he was if he cared a bit more, and for reasons other than "da management is holding him back" but yeah CM Punk with +50 lbs would not have nearly the following to be world champion I will guarantee you that. Also I'm not the one who said if Peyton Royce gained 50 lbs, Eddv did and denied it would be newsworthy if she did which is absurd. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 08/15/18 6:23:41 PM #100 | Jakyl25 posted... There have been many mega-successful overweight wrestlers though. That's because it was part of the character, or because they (like Kevin Owens) were so good in other aspects that they overcame it. Peyton Royce gaining 50 lbs doesn't add anything to her character. If anything it weakens her character. Let's frame this "body shaming" a different way-- let's make Ellsworth the World Heavyweight Champion after 6 months of build-- let's make him the second coming of Goldberg and get clean wins every week until then. Do you buy him as a credible champion? Is it "body shaming" to say the guy should be in better shape to be treated as a credible threat to beat guys like AJ Styles who actually look like athletes? How about if we did the same thing for Neville, who is the same height as Ellsworth and if he cared less about being in shape could very well look as jobbery as Ellsworth but is freaking shredded because he actually cares enough about being good at his job to stay in shape? I bet he's a lot easier to stomach, right? --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 08/15/18 6:14:49 PM #94 | Jakyl25 posted... We should be treating male body shaming MORE seriously, not the other way around. I disagree. If you're not in shape and you're in the business of wrestling it's being bad at an aspect of your job. It's not "body shaming" to acknowledge this. Like it's not saying "you need to be less fat to not be a terrible person" it's "you need to be less fat to be a success in wrestling." It's less body shaming and more laziness shaming in the case of a wrestler. I don't want a bunch of Kevin Owenses on the roster. That's not what wrestling is. A big part of wrestling should be maintaining your body to help create the image of a larger than life character-- where to draw the line is important and I would argue that wrestling perhaps puts it a bit too deeply in at times, but it's definitely somewhere well before hitting a 180 lb Peyton Royce too. --- No problem!

| Lopen 08/15/18 5:58:48 PM #86 | I tend to agree with Smuffin. It's not really done from a place of malice so it doesn't matter. I mean if it was about actual weight you'd wonder with Peyton Royce, but a guy who is saying a girl her size is fat would have had a lot more than one slip up. It wouldn't really be a "gotcha" moment. I guess what I'm saying is the only time it's inappropriate to make that comment is when it doesn't make sense. If she actually had gained 50 lbs it would also be okay since image is an important part of wrestling and news relevant. Men get depushed for weight fluctuations and not fitting an image just as much as a woman would. It's a shallow business. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Not that I made any legit last place attempts as I figured my lack of broad comic knowledge would be enough of a handicap, but if I did I would have wanted something that made some sort of internal sense (which would probably DQ from last place by default, which is I guess another reason why I didn't try) --- No problem!

| Lopen 08/14/18 5:37:30 PM #172 | Yeah I probably wouldn't have taken that name as literally as scarlet did either all things considered There are a few "why are these guys of all people put together" where you need the name to really sell the link between the characters, but that one just seemed like it was a random label attached to a group that you couldn't be bothered to think of a name for to me. So with that in mind were I doing rankings it'd be docked for just being a random assortment without an easily seen idea in place but not so much because it's an aggressively bad idea. But I can see why scarlet would take names as written gospel because with some people it was important-- luckily this shouldn't really influence many of my picks as I always gave a name that fit the idea or names that were random and couldn't really have much drawn from them anyway. --- No problem!

| Lopen 08/14/18 5:26:59 PM #39 | If it makes you feel better me saving would just mean Zidane would be out earlier Inviso posted... He's lost Garnet because she's a princess and he's a thief, his life is falling apart because he's finding out about his test tube status, and I can't blame him for falling into a wee bit of depression, can you? I actually can, yes. Zidane's a very poor attempt at trying to give a character depth by falling into the same patterns previous hit main characters like Squall and Cloud did. It comes off as forced and repetitive, removing a lot of what made Zidane actually appealing as his own unique character in the process and just making him come off as diet Cloud with less reasons to actually be depressed. I'm not saying it couldn't in theory be played that way, just that I feel the writing of the game didn't really deliver it too well at all. Also I'm pretty sure he shouldn't actually have the steal command given how bad he is at it. I could lift items from these monsters with less attempts than he takes. If you think this is just a joke and doesn't factor into why I dislike him you would be wrong! --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
