| Topic | Who do you respect more: Goku or Jiren? |
| AdrianBeterson 06/08/21 10:11:53 PM #40 | Josiah_Is_Back posted... Because he continues to strive even knowing Goku will always be one step ahead of him. His mental toughness cannot be denied.So you respect him because his power and motivation are completely reliant on what Goku does? --- |

| AdrianBeterson 06/08/21 10:06:37 PM #37 | Josiah_Is_Back posted... I do respect Vegeta more :)Why do you respect Vegeta more? He gains SSJ the same way as Goku did - through extreme emotional stress. He gains SSJ2 by letting Babidi cast his spell over him - aka "poof, super powers". He gains SS God the same way as Goku - holding hands singing kumbayah. --- |
| Topic | Who do you respect more: Goku or Jiren? |
| AdrianBeterson 06/08/21 9:37:53 PM #31 | Josiah_Is_Back posted... In respect to power, yes I respect Frieza's accomplishments more. As a person, I respect Goku more than Frieza. Jiren's obsession with power is rooted in childhood trauma; he's not a bad person. Frieza is an evil bastard with insane potential.At least you're consistent. Fair enough. --- |
| Topic | Who do you respect more: Goku or Jiren? |
| AdrianBeterson 06/08/21 9:35:30 PM #29 | Josiah_Is_Back posted... I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Jiren achieving MUI-level power on his own is absolutely mind-boggingly impressive, and I respect that far more than Goku and friends singing "kumbayah"Using your argument, do you respect Frieza more than Goku being that Frieza achieved "god-like" powers on his own as well? And before you say Frieza is gifted, Jiren is gifted as well, we just don't know his backstory as well as we know Frieza's. --- |

| Topic | Who do you respect more: Goku or Jiren? |
| AdrianBeterson 06/08/21 9:28:55 PM #26 | Josiah_Is_Back posted... OK, but it's not like Goku achieved SSJ God because the Earth was in danger and he had to tap into some inner potential or else his friends would die. A bunch of Saiyans just stood in a circle and that was it. There's nothing morally glorious about that at all. It was a shortcut, it launched Goku beyond a gap that he never would have crossed otherwise.The importance of events or dangers of events is irrelevant to this discussion about Goku's ability to rally others to his cause being the source of his power. And there's nothing "glorious" about Goku's character or his leadership traits. If "glory" is what you find appealing and respectful, then sure, Jiren might fit your bill for what you find more respectful. --- |
| Topic | Who do you respect more: Goku or Jiren? |
| AdrianBeterson 06/08/21 9:18:51 PM #24 | Josiah_Is_Back posted... Morality-wise, you have a point. My argument is geared more toward the level of power. I have far greater respect for Jiren achieving god-like power on his own, than for Goku when all the latter had to do was stand in a circle with some other Saiyans and then, poof, god powers! And I really don't think there's any need to explain why Jiren doing it on his own is more impressive and thus more deserving of respect.But Goku's power comes from his ability to rally others. That's the whole point of his character throughout the DB franchise. Jiren's power came from his trauma and isolation. So in essence, yes, you are comparing the moral implications of whether you find the ability to gain power through being a leader more respectful vs. achieving power on your own. --- |
| Topic | Who do you respect more: Goku or Jiren? |
| AdrianBeterson 06/08/21 9:03:37 PM #18 | Why does getting support from others a lesser form of respect? If anything, having the ability to get others to rally towards you and unite to your cause together is a far more respectful trait than being a loner at everything you do. --- |

| Topic | I forgot why is Goku & Vegeta training so hard to take Beerus' place. |
| AdrianBeterson 06/05/21 1:18:03 AM #5 | Goku/Vegeta just want to be the very best that no one ever was, so they're training to get stronger. Beerus enjoys the challenge, so he's training them. Edit: also, neither are taking Beerus' place as God of Destruction. They're literally just training to get stronger and have competitive sparring matches. --- |

Were just learning about the mental health problems that long-term marijuana use can cause. As the drug gets further legalized, we will be able to study it in larger clinical trials and learn more about it. I wouldnt be surprised if it does cause heightened aggression in a subset of people. --- |

| AdrianBeterson 05/29/21 10:04:03 PM #30 | dave_is_slick posted... Yes it matters. Life goes on, it doesn't end with the Reapers destroyed.Sure, but that's content for another game, not ME3. Nemu posted... Not really, seeing as they picked an entirely new galaxy for the very purpose of allowing the series to continue while making sure they didn't need to canonize any particular ending from the previous game. While this new project may change that a decade later, the original plan was obviously to abandon the galaxy for good, but Andromeda's failure caused them to turn back.Let's not talk about Andromeda. --- |

Yeah sure Ill play along, outside of Seattle no one cares about MLS (And I have a cousin whos in the feeder leagues for MLS to boot).I don't get what you're arguing about. This topic is about American Football. And the 3 major sports in the USA are NBA, NFL, and MLB. No one is arguing against international football or international sports in general. --- |
| Topic | Hot take: The ''other'' planned ending for ME3 would've been worse. *spoilers* |
| AdrianBeterson 05/29/21 9:57:53 PM #27 | Nemu posted... Yes, the post-reaper politics of the galaxy and the effects of the fate of the Reapers on those politics would be important. The fates of the individual characters, their roles in the affairs of the universe, an actual set of fates for Shepard, etc would all have been much better than what we got.The trilogy was about the Reapers. What happens post-reapers is content for an entirely new game (which I assume the new ME game in development will address). --- |

| AdrianBeterson 05/29/21 9:48:21 PM #25 | Nemu posted... In a perfect world, you'd have choices at the end, but you'd have different choices depending on your actions up until that point and each choice would have variations depending on your choices up until that point. We don't need 100 different ending variations, but we did need the consequences to have some purpose.Therein lies the fault of the ME universe. The Reapers have been presented as such astronomical antagonists throughout the series, that in the end, none of the other choices really matter beyond the choice of what happens with the Reapers. Does the choice of what happens to that tiny creek behind your house that feeds into the Pacific Ocean really matter? --- |
| Topic | Hot take: Scarlett Johansson is very attractive. |
| AdrianBeterson 05/29/21 9:42:21 PM #28 | Lost_All_Senses posted... Directly into the camera and close up is one the least flattering things you can do for a pic. That's just a harsh truth about pretty much everyone. That's why rarely any profile pic is ever the person close up with them directly facing the camera while undoctored. Also helps mugshots look really bad lol. Literally everything from the light to the angle in the first pic is more flattering for anyone.I'm comparing her to her older pictures, which to me shows a steep decline in her looks. And saying I have unrealistic expectations, when the OP shows a picture of her when she was at the top 1% of looks in our generation is laughable. To me, she's gone from being one of the hottest women in the planet to being average in hollywood standards, which equates to my comment of her not aging well. --- |
| Topic | Hot take: The ''other'' planned ending for ME3 would've been worse. *spoilers* |
| AdrianBeterson 05/29/21 9:35:40 PM #23 | Nemu posted... That was the consequence of them needing to flow well into the sequel, but ME3 didn't need to worry about that. We should have gotten something a little less varied than the Fallout slideshow but more than a 3.5 button choice that reflects nothing of your characterization of Shepard up until that point.But the major conflicts in the game were already concluded in ME3. You end the Geth vs. Quarian conflict. You end the Krogan genophage conflict. You get all of the races to work together with you vs. the reapers. All that's left is deciding the fate of the reapers and the mass relays, and the game gives you 3 choices at that. --- |
| Topic | Hot take: The ''other'' planned ending for ME3 would've been worse. *spoilers* |
| AdrianBeterson 05/29/21 9:25:17 PM #18 | Nemu posted... None of the endings would have been overly bad if they weren't just generic templates that don't take any of your actions into account. All of them would have been perfectly fine natural endings falling in line with your choices up until that point, with scenarios that reflect the galactic changes that were made throughout.Problem is, most of your choices throughout the series didn't matter. Kill or save the council? Has no effect on ME2. Kill or destroy the rachni? Has no effect on ME2. Destroy or secure the collector base? Has no effect on ME3. If anything, they were consistent throughout the series at giving you choices, but concluding with them not really mattering in the next game. --- |
