Jujutsu Kaisen, The Boys, Invincible and Elden Ring bugs my mind
Normalfags like what's popular, but it wajsn't THAT bad

>>81727252 (OP)
I can't tell if Jujutsu Kaisen is bad or if I'm just too old for shonenslop.

>>81727283
to understand the show, just replace every instance of "domain expansion" with "go go gadget" and it makes infinitely more sense

>>81727283
Compare it with Bleach and you'll have your answer

I just simply can't enjoy what's popular no matter how good it is

>>81727252 (OP)
Slop from 20 years ago swipe the floor with today's "best"

>>81727344
Also, I'm a zoomer. So it isn't the case of "my time was better lol"

>>81727252 (OP)
I'm an unironic liberal/socdem and the writing of the The Boys, particularly in the later seasons, makes me cringe.
I don't know how normalfags eat this shit up.

I like Dandadan because I was an early reader of the manga. I also like it's new anime but because it is now popular I am apparently a faggot.

>>81727298
This works with literally any shonen anime.

>>81727344
>Slop from 20 years ago
watched, and you are wrong nigger
Stuff from today is way more polished of whatever existed 20 years ago with really few exceptions, at least when it comes to anime and music

>>81727252 (OP)
I don't comprehend normalfags logic. Boku no Hero is magnitudes better than Jujutsu yet it's hated all around
I'm not saying that Boku no Hero is really great or anything, but near Jujutsu it's a masterpiece

>>81727252 (OP)
The people that criticize those shows are NOT normalfaggots. They are terminally online, there is no way they have an ounce of social life; not even their mothers talk to them despite the fact that those freaks live in the basement.

>>81727252 (OP)
Elden Ring is actually good though.

>>81727283
Jujutsu kaisen has good fights and interesting worldbuilding but the story is frankly shit.
Unless you think shittery like killing literally every character like attack on midtan is "peak cinema" and "great writing".
>Oh nooooo yet another character I've gotten attached to got gruesomely murdered... That's the tenth in a row (this episode)! Who could've seen this comingg...?
>>81727252 (OP)
>The Boys, Invincible
Westernslop garbage. At least the shows. I hear the comics are a bit different, but again, it was made by obviously left leaning 'mericans, so I don't hold my hopes high.
>Elden Ring
Flawed, but the best of what you've listed. The difficulty was definitely kneecapped for the sake of accessibility. But still, there's a difference between (ultra)normalfags, and normalfags *within* the "gamer spectrum".

>>81727252 (OP)
What's the last good thing that normalgroids liked? Game of Thrones? And even then it isn't as phenomenal like they say

>>81727846
>Unless you think shittery like killing literally every character like attack on midtan is "peak cinema" and "great writing"
Only two main characters (three of you count mechamaru died

>>81728206
Two out of three lmao?
And most of the well written and popular characters were side ones anyway.

>>81728254
I'm forced to mobile post right now. Don't be mean, or I will rape you.
>most of the well written and popular characters were side ones anyway.
And this is a bad thing because?
JJK gave its side characters a shit ton of screentime. Hell, a lot of side character genuinely have more screentime than main ones. Yuji the COG is the best written main character and hes the only one who isnt MiA for half the manga.

>>81727252 (OP)
Invincible would go up a point if they could actually animate. 70% of the show looks like ass and the little that looks better is mediocre at best. Yeah yeah first hour long animated series whatever at the end of the day a lot of it still looks ugly.

>>81728460
My point is, I don't think the characters being killed off constantly is either entertaining nor good writing.
Their deaths serve no other purpose than to tug at your heartstrings, and the impact on the main character from these deaths is minimal.
>Oh well only the side characters died so it's fine
No it isn't when the side characters are literally more interesting and engaging to watch than your protagonist. That is a lapse in writing.
Just look what Toji did to the normiefag anime sphere. He is the singular reason the anime even became popular, and his death was absolutely meaningless.
>Umm acktually it helped develop gojo's plot
His whole plot could've done without the death of toji, and if anything, him surviving whatever deus ex machina gojo threw at him would've elevated his status even more and perhaps set up a more interesting/epic death later in the series. Not like any of it fucking mattered, because gojo died as well, so they all fuckng died for no reason at all.
It's the same problem as with attack on titan. Yes, people die in wars and scenarios like this, but for it to be a meaningful death (in terms of story) it needs to be more than what these shows are doing. They're basically milking your empathy and betting on the fact you're going to click "watch next episode" because you're hoping your favorite character isn't actually dead, and by the time you realize that they are, the plot has moved on in an unrelated fashion drawing you in again. Sure, it works, but it is NOT good writing, if you have to rely on unrelated character deaths to move the plot forward.

>>81728614
Toji not dying to an awakened Gojo would have been an asspull no matter how you slice it. You're saying his death was pointless, but keeping him alive would have been even more pointless

>>81727252 (OP)
You don't like Invincible?

>>81727846
>The difficulty was definitely kneecapped
you just invalidated your entire post
you are part of the problem too
should've started with this so that i didn't have to waste my time

>>81727846
>The difficulty was definitely kneecapped
lmao you definitely never played er you dweeby little pseud, even old fans consistently complain about how hard fromsoft jumped the shark

>>81727846
>>Oh nooooo yet another character I've gotten attached to got gruesomely murdered... That's the tenth in a row (this episode)! Who could've seen this comingg...?
AoT doesn't have any real stakes though. There have been several main battles where no important characters die. That final battle with Eren was bullshit, everyone should have gotten fuckin stained

>>81729395
>lmao you definitely never played er
kiss my ass

>>81727252 (OP)
i like jjk and elden ring normalfags are right in this one

>>81727463
jjk is magnitudes better than my hero in my opinion

Jjk csm and demon slayer being praised by normies shows how soulless the population is

CSM is good thoughever

>>81727252 (OP)
why is that cow serving cunt in the face of death

>>81730856
whats so good about it
originally asking

>>81727252 (OP)
I miss when normalfag shit was Naruto. As many plot holes it has, and how much everything after Pain sucked balls, it's still way better than anything that you mentioned

>>81729395
he's half right
bosses are on average harder and more aggressive with 500 hit spinaroonie combos and delayed attacks but you can cheese it with meme builds like jumping attack blood greataxes or spirit summons which is what 90% of players do

>>81730856
>>81731876
nothing
simps were excited by Makima from the first manga, because mentally ill women + semi femdom
one arc had also some good action for few chapters
thats all
part 2 is garbage all over
it lost all the random "chaos" that part 1 had in some places and thats what made it good

>>81727463
tiktok told them it was fire

Kneegroids stole my benits

>>81727252 (OP)
>The Boys
Do zoomers watch this? The Boys just feels like Bush-era cynicism.

>>81727353
trying to fit in

>>81727463
>cuck no hero is good

>>81727252 (OP)
I think Invincible is pretty good. It's not exactly masterpiece but it's fun seeing a superhero show take its characters seriously without devolving into cringe like The Boys did.

>>81730856
>>81731876
I like the thing where they tally up the names of everyone that dies when the gun devil shows up. That was a really creative gimmick.

>>81734107
>le end is bad so the whole thing is bad
Code Geass is acclaimed solely because of it's ending. That's how precarious good endings are among anime

>>81727391
I get the impression that half of the fans unironically fuck with homelander.
