Yes, a girl I knew that hung around my cousin's wife. She never had anything interesting or funny to say and trying to get a conversation with her was like pulling teeth. My cousin's wife and her were supposedly best friends and even she'd tell me how boring that girl was.

That's not always true. We live in a world with codecs like Aptx, Aptx-HD, AAC, LDAC. Good bluetooth will beat a shitty jack in sound.

Are you arguing "good" wireless over a shitty pair of wired? Obviously those are better but I'm not talking about $20 headphones or those garbage wired headphones that came with the phone. I stopped using those kinds of headphones years ago once I started getting into audio.

Why wouldn't you? Wireless headphones have shitty audio quality compared to wired ones. Then again, people run around with Beats and think because other people can hear what they're listening to means the headphones are good.

Atoli was really annoying though. I love the series but the remaster is kinda bleh. You get more xp now which makes you level faster and you one shot things even faster and the game doesn't really run right at 60fps.

i'm just glad I don't play any modern video games.

I'm not ready for a world where every game is soul-crushingly difficult.

Games from the mid 2000s are way harder than Dark Souls or any game that has come out in like the last 10 years.

Tournaments in shonen are usually a "buying time" arc: lots of new characters without the need for a lot of story twists, motivations or progression.

However, the Dark Tournament is legitimately great and probably the best tournament arc of all time.

Nah. Flame of Recca has the best tournament arc ever. Dark Tournament is a close second.

An interesting thread about the ending of Yu Yu Hakusho...

https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/2ga6as/togashis_long_written_piece_found_in_the_yyh/

It saddens me to say this, but I had explored every possible direction for the YYH characters that I could in the context of a professional publication. All I could do at this point was to start deconstructing the characters, or go on repeating the same storylines over and over until the readers got bored. My attempts to deconstruct the characters were, of course, turned down by Jump. I didn't have the strength, physically and mentally, to keep doing the same thing over and over.

So I went ahead and did what I had always wanted to do: "If I ever manage to have a long serialization in Jump, I will end it on my own terms." I knew that Jump dropped a manga after 10 weeks if the readers' surveys proved it to be unpopular, and I knew this when I started working for them. This system proved encouraging for me, and I learned a lot by being aware of readers reactions. But I ended up wanting to draw manga for myself, without thinking about anyone's reactions. I don't believe that anything I came up with on this premise will live up to Jump's standards, so I will not try.

In conclusion: I ended YYH because of my own selfishness. I'm sorry.

In short it seems like he just said fuck it and wanted to get it over with, hence a simple tournament instead of a war arc that was teased.

Yeah, and now Jump let's him do whatever the fuck he wants with HxH because of it. He gets to put out lazily drawn chapters 2 times a year and rake in the cash.

Ichigo would have won anyway.

Eh I doubt it, he was only the strongest on two occasions. The first time was for 1 fight and then he lost all his powers, then the second time was for like 1 page and then the series ended.

I wouldn't say Ichigo was the strongest at the end. Ywach clowned him and broke his sword instantly and then Ishida came out of nowhere with that arrow and killed Ywach.

Yeah, if Iceman had full control of his powers he could freeze the entire planet. Emma Frost took control of his body for a period and showed him what he could do. In his body she was able to control all types of moisture, freeze the fluids inside people's bodies and travel around as a liquid, solid or gas as an example.

What makes iceman so powerful

His skin can become hard like diamond making him damn near bulletproof. He can regenerate from any wound when he transforms. Iirc he can also turn the water inside someones body to ice and insta kill them. Plus lots more stuff.

Iceman controls water. As long as there is any type of water around he can't die. He can reform himself if there is water vapor in the air for example. He can theoretically freeze your insides because of the water in humans as well. Being an Omega level mutant means that there is no upper limit to your powers.

As for other Omegas there's Jean Grey, Storm, Havoc, Hope Summers, and Franklin Richards that I can remember off the top of my head. Jean Grey has telepathy and telekinetic powers but IIRC she's only an Omega level telepath.

I know about Onslaught but Magneto is a confirmed Omega level. Professor X is an Alpha level mutant.

I see. I was confused because he is an omega level telepath.

Why is omega level telepath only alpha mutant?

Also, magneto wasn't always omega, idk how new that is though.

AFAIK, the only Omega level telepath is Jean Grey. That doesn't mean Professor X can't do ridiculous things. There's just a limit to what he can do compared to the Omegas.

MH1 and 2 were on PS2 and didn't sell well which caused the series to switch to handhelds and eventually Nintendo. That said, I played the fuck out of MH1 and 2. I have thousands of hours in both of those games. MH1 is easily my favorite game in the series.

The thing is, it wasn't until the final Arc that his rating started to slip. Theres an article where he basically says during the final arc he lost all drive to continue and just started dragging everything out until one day he read a letter from a terminal fan who said he wants to see it finished before he passes. Thats when Kubo started having the plot move at a normal pace again the damage had been done however and his rating had already slipped and he was given 3 or 4 chapters to wrap it up.

Sales data disagrees
https://imgur.com/hOFtqCg
And...ranking data
https://imgur.com/oX0Mbgu

Mind you the ranking data is primarily how the manga is placed in jump. If you're the first comic up, then you're first place in ratings. This is all done by the editor of jump. It USUALLY implies perceived value, you put what you think people will like more up front and the worse ones further in the back. But sometimes it can have no meaning at all. But it is an indicator. Sales is better.

I don't know what you mean by the final arc sales started to dip, it clearly was dipping well before that. The signs were all there, sales and ranking data doing poorly. He knew it and his editors I'm sure were telling him all about it constantly.

This. Bleach started ranking at the bottom of the popularity polls in Jump towards the end of Aizen/Fullbring. Sales and popularity were tanking for years.

Sony did not but Disney didn't know what they are because that didn't even look at them.

Another report came out saying Disney actually asked for a 30/70 split. Sony said no because they feel they don't need Disney's help anymore and the discussions went up to Alan Horn and Alan Bergman on the Disney side and Tom Rothman and Tony Vinciquerra on the Sony side.

Meanwhile Sony's track record with Spidey is....not good. I think they are letting Spiderverse and Venom's success get to their head.

Disagree. Spiderverse has changed the game for Sony. They don't need Disney anymore.

Saying Spiderverse changed the game for Sony is liking saying all of the animated movies changed the game for DC. The animated movies are better than the live action ones but that doesn't mean it'll translate over.

I fell off around season 15-16, but all the seasons prior, no exaggeration, i've likely seen each episode 4-5 times each.

I respect it's ongoing longevity, but even as a "superfan" growing up, I lost interest.

Maybe shows shouldn't go 20+ seasons that aren't titled South Park.

I think I stopped watching in 2008. It wasn't good but it was watchable. That season in 2008 it became unwatchable, imo. I used to watch Simpsons religiously in the 90s and early 00s too.

Except spider man 1 and 2 disproves this. Asm 1&2 were fine and if the marvel deal didn't happen would have continued on. And venom still make 700-800 mil.

Spiderman is better with the mcu, Sony has shown they can make movies.

And quite frankly with what Disney choose to do with spiderman its more important does their narrative to have spiderman than the other way around.

Spiderman being Tony's legacy is more important than spiderman. And the reception of multiverse and the appeal of Tom hardy leaves spiderman non mcu future fine.

Spiderman 1 and 2 were the last live action movies they made that were good and are almost 20 years old now. ASM 1 and 2 were garbage. They were not good movies. Venom making money doesn't mean it was a good movie. Venom couldn't even decide what kind of movie it wanted to be. It jumped from a superhero movie to a comedy to a horror movie multiple times.

Sony isn't thinking 'thank God we signed with the MCU' when Far From Home made a billion dollars. They're thinking why do they need to share with Disney?

They're thinking Venom was a massive success without them. They're thinking they can just make a cinematic universe with the stuff they have instead.

This was pretty inevitable after Venom was a hit. The only surprise is that it's this soon. I thought we were at least going to get the third MCU Spidey movie.

Well, we'll see how Venom 2 does. I don't think it'll do nearly as well since the first one was crap.
