"Foolish Samurai!, my daughters were actually made using your DNA!"

*Jack has a jumbo breakdown again and locks himself in a room forever.*


Very unlikely because the concept of DNA probably isn't known in the series, but man, it would be brutally hilarious.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm just imagining that one scene from 22 Jump Street now, but with Jack and Aku.

I'm afraid I'd need a link to this scene

 

[Opossum]

I'm afraid I'd need a link to this scene

Due to the nature of the scene I can't.

Just look up the "Captain's Daughter" scene.

 

[Robertman2]

I'd complain about JackxAshi, but I have no right to since I ship x.

Point like that are fine. (tough you could made argument that with only 10 episodes. There wasn't much left for it, and for what they did, I think it passed just fine.)
But the problem is when peoples say it basically ruin the whole series.
Like, hello to those peoples? Have you a brain or somethin'? One "bad" point doesn't make a series straight-up trash. Especially when it's not even finish. Yeah, a father-daughter relation would have been better. But they decided to make them a couple so be it. Who know what is going to happen to them anyway?
Heck, I also heard peoples were complaining that the character were too naked. Did they watch the old show? Jack is basically naked half of the time.

Beside, I don't take shipper on the internet seriously in general. Because when character don't go like they wanted. They always over exaggerated the problem the relation have. And say that it "ruined" the show.

Anyway, JackXAku was always the true ship, they are made for each other.

The complaint like this one, I am fine, it's the rest that trigger me.

Also, personally, you can disagree with me I am fine if you are. I always seen their relation as romantic as the show progressed. Again, it could have been alot much better, but I always felt like their become closer and closer as they helped each other. And without Ashi, Jack would have killed himself due to losing all hope in himself. So, there was some hint of love? Maybe?

But, It's a matter of perspective, really. I'm OK if you say I am wrong on my point, as long as we understand each other opinion. Which Tumblr cleary lack. Gosh, when did I started to make debate about shipping? Dang it.

JackxAku is actually called Jakku

"Jack ****ed Aku daaaughter! Jack **** Akus Daaaughter!"

 

[Deleted member]

1. Yeah, but what turns people off in those kinds of relationships is that one person is very old and wrinkly. Jack still looks young, if still physically older than Ashi. Still, my grandfather was in his 40s when he met and dated my grandmother who was in her 20s. She didn't really care because my grandfather still looked young.

Also, by your logic Alucard is HUNDREDS of years old, so he shouldn't be able to have the hots for anyone...

2. Actually no, it was distinctly romantic/sexual love, when someone is blushing over how beautiful someone else is I'd say so.

It's not just the appearence, it's the implications that come with it
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MayDecemberRomance
Whatever"ship teasing" they did doesn't matter, it's /still/ subject to Squick.
I prefer to refer to this
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AgeGapAlgebra
Which obviously not absolute but the numbers match the general perception of when it could be considered creepy.

And this doesn't apply to Alucard because it's relative age, not literal age

Again, I get what you are saying. And yeah, it lead to unfortunate implications. But I still feel like that, beside the age problem. The two would fall in love after everything that happened to them. And again, while you can make the counter-arguement that they should have planned that better, 10 episode don't leave much space to developpe everything they had in mind.

They could have easily just made her older, it'd make things much better.
Or not age Jack, why was he even aged in the first place?

And even if all of my point are wrong, this still doesn't make the whole show ruined. Come on, people watch Samurai Jack for the plot, the character and the great art direction, not shipping for Aku sake.

It's not about the shipping
It could have been as forced as they wanted and it'd be just bad writing and disappointment
May-December Romances can make people genuinely uncomfortable and that's where the problem lies

i still havent started samurai jack


Somehow got onto the thought of a modern kid icarus sidescroller.

The idea keeps getting more and more elaborate. Dark Pit and Magnus have their own campaigns, Pit has 2 different playstyles. Viridi, Gaol, Thanatos, and Pandora are in it.

Brinstar and Kraid are in it. And it keeps going.


Help

 

[Mythra]

Jakku wouldn't work anymore because Jack isn't EXTRA THICC.

Kinda went off the rails right there... Now it's a crossover.

I still don't see the problem when Jack is physically not that much older physically, if the numbers don't affect his physical or hell even mental age.(He still acts exactly like he did 50 years ago, especially after getting rid of his evil consciousness.) His relative age isn't that much higher, he doesn't have the psyche of an older man.

Think about it this way, are people weirded out by Nowi because of her literal age or her physical age? Definitely her physical age, and relative age I'd say because regardless of her numeral age she still has the psyche of a child. Jack is still in his prime even in his relative age.

You clearly haven't even watched the show because he doesn't really seem to age at all, at most he has bags under his eyes but those are more so due to stress/slightly updated style.

For the ages thing, well, to show how delusional and hopeless Jack is due to the fact that he still didn't kill Aku or find a path to the past? Because if he was like that from where we left him off in Season 4. It would just feel forced and unnatural the time skip make that plot point make more sense. (Plus, it was a good plan from Aku part to leave his enemy die from age, too bad he didn't know that he make his enemy ageless.)

And the daughter of Aku were made to be as good as Jack (tough it failed due to lacking emotional training and while htey are a team, none of them care for each other, which Jack use as his advantage), so, they were supposed to be release at the same age as Jack had when he left his home to fight Aku. So, the daugher of Aku couldn't exist before a very long time after Jack was in the futur.

For the rest, @Prince Alucard already say the rest. Jack is still like he was in the past. His body and his age is the same. It's only his mind who aged and even then, after the whole demon thing. He seem to be the same as we left him in Season 4. So, he really just become delusional. He didn't really age in any way.

If you still don't like that plot point tough, then let's agree to disagree, shall we? Debate are not my cup of tea.

Man, Magnus was such an underused character in Uprising, I really think the guy deserved kore attention.
He appeared in, what, three chapters? One of them being part of the boss rush. Still don't get what happens at the end of his first chapter but whatever.
He needs his own spinoff tbh, the hack-and-slash ground parts of Uprising fit him way better than Pit and I'd love to see his character and playstyle to be expanded on.

I still don't see the problem when Jack is physically not that much older physically, if the numbers don't affect his physical or hell even mental age.(He still acts exactly like he did 50 years ago, especially after getting rid of his evil consciousness.) His relative age isn't that much higher, he doesn't have the psyche of an older man.

Think about it this way, are people weirded out by Nowi because of her literal age or her physical age? Definitely her physical age, and relative age I'd say because regardless of her numeral age she still has the psyche of a child. Jack is still in his prime even in his relative age.

I mean relative age as in the species, like the link says:
"For creatures with extended (or very brief) lifespans, apply the above rules generally. The older should be vastly more experienced than the younger in practically all ways. For example, a 1000 year old vampire dating a 100 year old one would apply this trope, but not if dating a 500 year old one."

And as for Nowi: both.
Her physical form is clearly to pander to... "those who are attracted to younger bodies" but the excuse she's 2000 years old doesn't help when she acts like a kid and only makes things worse.
It's why I don't have as much of a problem with Nah since she acts maturely in the age she's supposed to be.

Mental age is very important to the Squick nature of these relationships because fiction allows you to put the mind of a child in an adult's body and aay it's okay.
The opposite still applies, and how bad it is depends on the intention but the romantic relationship of a mental child with an adult will always be creepy

Actually, his numerical age is more so around 70 or 80. Since when he was sent into the future he was in his 20s, at most you can argue he was in his early thirties, but even then I know people in their thirties dating people in their early 20s.

By relative age I meant his experiences that go along with his numerical age. But again, he's pretty much the exact same person he was in season 4, he literally hasn't aged at all, even mentally.

So you're pretty much arguing with arbitrary numbers, since Jack literally hasn't aged in anyway.

Same still applies.

Where I live, legal age of consent is 17, so as long as they're above that there isn't much issue. And even then, I'm willing to have some leeway when it comes to fiction because of cultural differences depending on the setting, especially if it's extremely fantastical and not a real world setting (where the writer makes their own laws for that world).

In Jack's case, he still looks quite young anyway so there isn't even an aesthetic disparity here.

I'm just saying because if he was numerically 60, he would've still been the physical age of ten. LMAO, but again I forgot to correct Shisho on that and I just assume that he hasn't watched the show.

[MainJPW]

All the Roshi parts of the episode were boring af, kind of annoying tbh.

Tien being the jobber mad me sad. I really hope they don't make any of Universe 7's contestants be jobbers and get eliminated right off the bat.

I actually think the episode was badly written, it's basically saying that not only is Muten Roshi strong enough to actually subdue Tenshinhan, but he's strong enough to go toe to toe with base Goku...he basically got a BS asspull power up to justify his spot on the team.

That means Roshi's now stronger than Yamcha and Chaouzu, those neglected Z fighters who were asked to train with God to fight the Saiyans, and received training with Kaio in the afterlife...all while the Turtle Hermit does nothing the entirety of Z...."but he's stronger now because he trained offscreen!"... Nothing but bull****. I actually didn't mind the inclusion of Roshi before but if they were going to pull something like this they should've just included Yamcha instead.

I liked Yurin though, wouldn't mind seeing her return.

I can't wait until Goku goes up against Ultimate Gohan, I hope they don't drop the ball on it like they did with this episode.

Speaking of DBS, according to leaks on 2ch...

Spoiler

The title of episode 93 mentioned Frieza being the 10th member of Universe 7's team.

Thoughts?

Y'know I actually wouldn't mind if Goku went Blue against Gohan, I mean Vegeta did the same thing against Trunks, but I wonder who'll be "overcoming the wall"? Gohan wants to surpass Goku but Goku apparently has that "new transformation "...

Spoiler

That hasn't been confirmed to come from a legitimate source, but we can expect leaks to come out either today, tommorow or the day after that usually.

 

[Z25]

Due to the nature of the scene I can't.

Just look up the "Captain's Daughter" scene.

"Jack ****ed Aku daaaughter! Jack **** Akus Daaaughter!"

Oh that scene, that's been linked here before without consequences. Its really not that bad, there's worse.

Anyway I also saw guardians last night. It was pretty cool, I liked the character development and the plot was pretty interesting. Infinity War should be good with the developments from the movie.

Now for another side note

a Preview has leaked for the Next Steven Universe episode after the current bomb, and it looks pretty neat.

Spoiler: Preview is spoilery if you haven't watched Steven Bomb 6

Topaz seems to become sympathetic or maybe even help Steven down the line which would be interesting.

 

[Aurane]

My friend's six year old niece told this guy at customer service, who was being a ******** trying to return something that wasn't even bought in the first place, to stop breathing her air and get out of the way.

I shouldn't of laughed but the serious tone of her voice made that moment.

 

[praline]

She was in the gold day, so unlike Celica, Mae's color hasn't been confirmed yet. However, knowing that Mae emphasizes Thunder magic in Echoes, I'm guessing she'll probably be a blue unit.

Jeez, that boob plate. I mean, I know the Echoes art has it too, but this is taking it to a whole other level.


I would guess blue, given that her main this differentiating her from Boey is that she starts with Thunder. Also, she can learn Aura just like Linde.

Of course. Pretty much every unit I want is a blue one. lol

Awesome. Well, that at least means I don't need to provide information(but you can easily pawn off your ideas towards me).

That said, you have inspired me to maybe work on a Quest 64 Racing game idea. >.> Not sure of the specifics yet, though. Beyond who is obviously playable(Brian), anyway.

Honestly I thought of making the eltale book as the kart. lol

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

I'll give my two cents on the whole Samurai Jack debacle.

Spoiler

Would I have preferd Jack and Ashi have a father/daughter relationship? Yes, but I don't mind them having a romantic relationship. Jack has gone through a lot of **** in his life, I think he deserves to be happy. My only real problem is that it could have been better paced.

I am starting to feel that season 5 could have done with a bit more episodes. I'm still really liking the season, but I think having 13 episodes like the seasons would have only benefited the finale.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I'll believe it when I see it. I can't help but feel like Frieza wouldn't help Goku and the others. And even if he did, Can't say I'm excited to see him again. I like the character, but having him work with Goku would be pretty off. He's a bit too sinister compared to most of Goku's friends that were evil at first.

Though I'm excited to see Goku and Gohan fight it out. The little sparring match they had earlier was pretty fun while it lasted.

 

[Erureido]

Here's a question to all those that have been following Fire Emblem Echoes spoilers.

Spoiler: Echoes spoilers

What is your current opinion of Conrad as a character?

I haven't seen much discussion about his character compared to the other new playable Echoes character in town, Faye, so I'm curious.

My answer: While he does seem rather one-note with his attachment to Celica (thankfully, it's not an obsessive crush), he seems to have an interesting backstory, a rather major role in the main plot, and an interesting personality that ranges from his serious mentality when wearing a mask to his more dorky side when he takes it off.

Spoiler

I can't say because I've not played the game. I haven't really heard any discussion of him at all. Really the only controversy around him is that some people dislike that he's a member of the Zofian royal family when in the original game all of them but Celica were killed.

Perhaps it's because he's not being promoted as much as Faye, or that he joins much later than she does.
