Imagine having [extremely talented wrestler] and doing absolutely fucking nothing with them the entire stint they have been on the main roster.

Fuck.


do we see the pattern


I mean I guess that's a pattern but I was hoping we could start this one with the extremely talented wrestler rather than going full non-sequitur here.

I'm so happy Disco Inferno won. I thought Ray Holt was going to win given how I structured the LFF.

Not that that list wasn't like 10 characters I love but I really thought Disco was a long shot no matter what 10 I put there.

My top 5 films are like casual central. Cinemasnobs universally turn their nose up at it.

The Dark Knight
Kill Bill Vol 1
Terminator 2
Edge of Tomorrow
Captain America Civil War

I'm not sure that's actually right but it's close enough to right that I'll allow it as a good enough window into the kinda stuff I like. They're all action movies but hey I have simple tastes.

Frankly I think the Matrix would still exist in a virtually identical form and they're just giving it lipservice cause they respect the movie. To me it's just hard to see anything that needs Akira to exist because it doesn't really do anything truly unique. It offers a cool spin on ideas, but they're ideas that already exist in plenty of places.

It's just a peeve of mine I guess. Akira is cited as like, a cornerstone of its genre and I just don't really see it. The pieces were already well in motion when Akira came out. People act like it's a Super Mario Bros when really it's more like a Super Mario World.

Blade Runner was the big one I was thinking of that predates it, though I would say stuff like The Road Warrior is close enough to the same kinda idea that I can't really say much stuff wouldn't exist without Akira. The Running Man is kind of a similar idea too. Hell even Escape from New York, kinda. Just some mainstream stuff off the top of my head. Akira is just an alternately stylized version of what those movies offer, really. To me it's like saying Cherry Coke wouldn't exist without Cherry Pepsi or something, like adding cherry to an existing formula would never be thought of without it. I've always had a beef with the idea that Akira was integral to much because yeah that style is sort of a hybrid of things that were already being explored to begin with.

If you want a quirky pick that I've been a fan of that does the dystopia thing pretty well the Tales From A Parallel Universe movies from the mid 90s (and the show that spawned from it Lexx) have always been favorites of mine. Kinda campy and over-sexualized at times though, and honestly, given it's me recommending it you probably wouldn't like it (since I hardly agree with this list at all) so forget it but you know. It's also not really like Akira at all, but it's a unique take on dystopia society. I won't pass up an excuse to mention it!

All that being said I'm with you that Akira is better than Blade Runner. Though it probably goes without saying I'm not exactly a huge fan of either movie.

RotK is the only LotR that really drives home that "we're still doing this?" feeling to me, even if all three movies are long. RotK is long with the worst pacing, basically.

FotR is my favorite by a good margin though, and I like Gollum.

The big difference between 280 and ??? is the requirements to do substantial damage are way the hell higher. So yeah it's not too weird to sub 30 a 280 and hardly scratch a ???. If you were just barely capping with 9999s you're gonna have a hard time.

I think you're severely overstating Akira's influence. Just because you did something early doesn't really mean later things that do similar stuff necessarily needed you to get there. Nothing about the movie really screams that it completely invented anything to me. Cyberpunk as a world setting is kinda about mixing other existing settings to begin with.

It's an influential film, but there are a lot of things that do post-apocalyptic stuff, many of which predate Akira and many others still that were probably for the most part unaware of Akira.

Not that you're the only one to do this, but something like "Final Fantasy VII doesn't exist with Akira" is an incredible stretch to me.

Well if the tournament is actually run all in one show, a different show than the one to win the bye, the bye is very valuable because in theory you're less fatigued than the teams that have to go through the whole bracket. If it's not, then yeah, a bit silly.

I'm just saying like, Drew beating up Heath Slater should've meant a lot more than him beating up R-Truth to me because there's actual history there, but I'm watching it and I'm like "oh Drew is doing Drew things again" more than anything. I guess it usually doesn't matter because as you said "meaningful beatdowns" are rare but it irked me for that segment at least.

Pokemon species are basically interchangeable with counting them as specific characters if you go by typical use in media. Smash Bros has "Jigglypuff" as a character. It's not intended as "a random Jigglypuff."

I mean it's your prerogative and I certainly wouldn't mourn the loss of random Pokemon species, but I wouldn't remove them, myself. Feels more like we're aiming to lawyer them off the field before they can do anything than a legitimate beef to have.

Treading water in 21 isn't too bad. Then again I maxed defense so maybe my experiences weren't typical.

Found it was fairly easy to do so by recklessly plunging someone into the enemy formation to get enough partial point victories to not drop a tier though. Defense teams tend to not work as well when you don't play their game of stopping on their outer edge threatened squares.

I think this is giving him far too much credit and he just chose you because you gladiated him as he'll choose the one who gets him lynched to throw a tantrum over in any given game.

Like uh, if I put a miller in a setup as a host it'd be some random minor character that sounds like something off a scum safelist more than a dead ringer for the defining miller, or something where the flavor is inherently weird but could maybe fit on a stretch.

Like Roman Reigns as a miller is probably better here because it kinda works but Roman isn't ever booked heel so it's somewhat suspicious, but if you really wanted it to be good you'd throw some mook like Curt Hawkins in as a miller.

Honestly I think maybe the biggest problem with miller on b8 from games I've paid attention to is that miller is a better role if the flavor doesn't fit.

The whole idea of a miller where it's like "oh yeah, flavor fits, clearly makes sense as a miller" is counter-intuitive to the idea of a miller being a claim that should inherently be one that draws suspicion from town

5tar main thing that looked scummy of what you were doing was trying to like, railroad your decision making in advance. Like I recall you said something like "if Panthera flips town tomorrow I'm going for Red" or something like that and I was like "hm that guy might be scum" and didn't get unconvinced until late in your lynch day. I dunno.

In general you seemed more concerned with trying to clear your moves as non-suspicious than finding the suspicious people to me for a lot of the game. Not only does that not help town much but it also makes you an easy target if anyone latches onto the fact that you're actively appearing innocuous.
