Feel free to discuss. :3

Please, I'm begging you, watch more shows that are actually good

I think that's a bit of a stretch.

Having a disagreement isn't trying to "start ****".

It's really not a stretch. The entire Legacy Virus arc is an exact mirror to the AIDS epidemic and the impact it had on the gay community, plus several of the X-Men themselves are LGBT.

The X-Men as a whole parallel a lot of social issues facing cultural minorities, be it racism, LGBT issues, or any number of things.

 

[Metal Shop X]

You joke but I'm actually proud of my large butt

Anyway what did I miss

Honestly, your *** is Smashboards' ***. Shame I can't say the same about your chest.

Yup, just a normal day on Smashboards.

Just need the image uploader to be broken and it be perfect.

Min Min would be cool, but something tells me the public would rather someone else..

Broke: Liking a character because they have a thicc butt
Woke: Liking a character because they're actually very well designed and have a good amount of personality.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I didn't pick up arms, are the characters so different that they couldn't just be alt costumes like the koopa kids?


Kamen Rider isn't inherently political, especially in the heisei era. I don't think beating up X group really counts as being "political", especially in the case of Shocker.

*condemning men for keeping their emotions to themselves
*condemning military which was ESPECIALLY topical back when Build was airing considering Shinzo Abe still wants to increase military power despite the country's objections
*gay rights
*condemning fascist governments and how neonazis easily hide among them
*Shotaro Ishinomori being considered a radical leftist due to his works
*condemning the use of lethal force by police
*condemning the false belief that you can simply talk evil people out of their evil mindset
*condemning incredibly powerful corporations
*condemning the filthy rich
*condemning politicians for pretending to take a stance on serious subjects to get votes but ultimately not care about said serious subjects
Sure, Jan

This definitely seems like a reach. Using themes as a plot point isn't necessarily pushing a political stance.
Also which series was pushing gay rights? The closest one that I can think of is that one character from Wizard and that one from Gaim. Granted, I haven't finished all of the pre-decade heisei ones.

For starters the character from Wizard is a transwoman, second, OOO, Gaim, Build and Ryuki have very easy to read as gay characters. Not only was Build hyped up as a 'heated drama between men' but Kamen Rider Raia and Gai have canonically kissed and had sex

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Considering how many people like to act comics were never political back in the day even when we had stuff like Captain America criticizing the US of it's war crimes and drug wars, you're probably right

It's more like the older comics actually tried making plots that had the politics naturally woven into the narrative rather than forcing it in there when it shouldn't be.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I love this comic.

 

[Deleted member]

"Using political themes isn't being political" isn't a stance I ever expected to hear but I guess nerds will go to any lengths to deny that their shows are actually political.

Okay. Granted I don’t know the full extent of this convo. I only just woke up.

But from my experience people tend to only say this about the politics they disagree with.

I wonder how many people you could find back in the day that claimed the politics back then were forced too. I remember hearing stories about nazis in America threatening Jack Kirby but I don't remember if that was legitimate or not. Cause uhhhh American and Iranian tensions and **** were a huge deal with Batman's A Death In The Family. But sure they're forced now because it's stuff that you object to. Wonder how many people criticizing Marvel for being 'too SJW' feel about modern Punisher

 

[SnakeFighter64]

You’re damn right. Because the second a topic becomes political people want to stop talking about it entirely.

It's a matter of nuance, it's one thing to make an allegory to something. It's another thing entirely to just turn the current president into Modok, that's not even being subtle.

Which characters in build were gay? I'm on the first half of it and I haven't seen any gay activity, unless i missed it.

So Captain America saying the drug war is bad and the Cuban war is bad was subtle? Having Joker literally work with the real life ayatollah Khomeini is subtle?
Sure, Jan

Okay. Our current president has lost all right to subtle commentary. If he’s going to act all cartoonishly evil and inept, then this is how we get to comment on him.

Banjo and Sento have lots of moments building up their relationship with the cast making comments on it too. It's especially telling Sento doesn't seem nearly as interested with the girls as he is with Banjo, especially with how easy they could have made Sawa's later development turn romantically but they chose to make that platonic

What are you talking about? Because whenever I hear Banjo I only think of Banjo-Kazooie.

That sounds like shipperbait more than anything.

One of my favourite children Banjo Ryuga

He's also known as Cross-Z and is gay like most of the main cast in Build (seriously the two girls literally share the same bed and one of them has a body pillow of the other which she smooched)

Also **** I can't believe I forgot the bisexual goth girl in Fourze that gave me my gay awakening

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Guys! It's time! It's here! Gangster's Paradise and all!

This is gonna be something else, that's for sure

 

[PsySmasher]

Welp... this is the 3rd all-nighter I've pulled this semester to get work done.

Gotta love college... ugh.

Not gonna even bother w/ this real world/comic parallels discussion right now... b/c I'm too tired to process this stuff.

Broke: Liking a character because they have a thicc butt
Woke: Liking a character because they're actually very well designed and have a good amount of personality.

Bespoke: Liking a character b/c they're well designed, have a good amount of personality, and have a thicc butt.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Guys! It's time! It's here!

Wow, I hate it so much.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Guys! It's time! It's here!

That Sonic design isn't too bad all things considered. Going to have to watch the trailer a few times for my full thoughts

 

[Deleted member]

On ARMS, the core gameplay was actually pretty fun imo, but it’s just way too lacking in content. It really could have benefited from some sort of single player campaign. It’s a new IP, a fighting game at that, we need some sort of context for these characters to get introduced to them. They did well with what they had but it’s a shame, especially since the game has so much personality otherwise. See them giving in lore reason for various nerfs and buffs

 

[Deleted member]

Guys! It's time! It's here! Gangster's Paradise and all!

Oh Jim Carrey, you poor soul.

 

[SneakyLink]

I love this comic.

Well, he did get what he wanted.

His comeuppance that is.

 

[PsySmasher]

Well Sonic's design is... fine. It could've been way worse.

That being said, this trailer did not make me excited for this movie... at all.

 

[ZaneHitsurugi]

This is beyond cursed.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Ok yeah Ben Schwartz's Sonic isn't bad and they ****ing nailed the Eggman look in the final shot

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Guys! It's time! It's here! Gangster's Paradise and all!

This is gonna be something else, that's for sure

Is it wrong that I actually like this. I mean yeah, the design doesn’t really animate well, but it just.... feels like Sonic to me. It’s got the same energy and personality I remember from Colors, Generations, and the Sonic Boom Cartoon. Plus, I think Jim Carrey is really acting the part of Eggman well. Even if he’s not overweight (yet) that iconic personality everyone loves him for is all there.

It looks better than I expected, but that doesn't say anything. At least Sonic and Dr. Eggman's designs aren't that bad in action.

>Sane
>Smashboards Ultimate Social Thread

Choose one.

The two cannot exist together unless it is in the sentence "the Smashboards Ultimate Social Thread is not sane" or some variation where the same point is made.

You say that like it isn’t sane...plus anything is better than more Etika being a dumb***

I'm actually proud of my large butt

...I likes ya...and I wants ya...

I love this comic.

Also. Are we all forgetting the fact that he actually uses the spin dash!

OK, the joke with the child at the end make me laugh, I give them that and the fact Jim Carrey look like he is having fun and his design at the end look great.

But otherwise...

Eh?

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Alright, fine, I guess it could be worse. I do think Jim Carrey fits the role of Eggman very well there.
