@Silence:

Monkey King is just another reincarnation of Zephos,
He's been around for far, far longer than a couple of reports over kiddy crap are gonna affect so good luck with that
And he's earned his place here or he wouldn't be here,

But even if it wasn't him, I'm thinking it wouldn't take much at all to get you so hot and bothered,
because here you are in heat over a feather-light sig dig and acting like someone nailed you to the cross over everything else.

but you know justice crusade whatever, tilt at those internet windmills
maybe all the bumps and callouses will help you develop a thicker skin instead of a cracked skull

Your post was…

puts on shades

retarded.

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

@Monkey:

lol really? God you're like a walking ball of all the alreadychewedgum shit poster cliches. Except unlike an ordinary shitposter you're all mismatched with the crap.
Like one post it's "WHOA BRO, STILL POSTING? SRY I DUCKED OUT TO THE GYM", then next it's "I-I-IM TELLING THE MODS! YOU ARE VERY RUDE!".
If you want to seem confident just stick to one persona.

oh shit lol, did you really just… haha
No, don't.
Don't do this please.
You don't want to do this with this subject lol.

DID I MENTION HOW GAY YOU ARE?

Doesn't really exist, let's get real. Or at least the term is misleading.
But I guess it's easier to say than "greekthingsthatgotpassedtoromethenthearabsthentoitalyandthentowesterneuropeandthentotheenlightementwhichwasmostlyinprotestanteuropeanyway"
Which is ideals of democracy and secular stuff mostly. Doesn't have much to do with conquest for conquest's sake. In fact it has nothing to do with it.
Alexander had nothing to do with pretty much any of that anyway, he was a tyrant who conquered (well his dad) the democratic Polis's in the first place lol. He really has nothing at all to do with Western Civ. Democracy didn't get spread along his empire at all.
The mid-east only got into that stuff later when the Caliphates took Byzantine cities and found all the cool Greek knowledge stuff. Like in the Alexandrian library.
More credit is due to the Enlightenment for our modern western world.
The ancient Greeks weren't secular btw, they thought a lot of their philosophers we adore today were horrible heathen kooks for their crazy talk.

There is no "east" yo.
There's like a dozen completely different world sections that are "the East". One of which is the Greeks post-Rome lol (Orthodox world).

Oh and tell me how those bloody conquests for conquests sake advanced democracy, secularism, and the enlightenment.
I could even give some controversial examples myself (fatalistic ones based on luck mostly), but let's see you walk the walk first lol.

Yes, the Greeks for instance are wild patriotic fanatics that would never agree that Alexander is at best a folk hero, and is no realistic idol for any reason. No Greek would ever do this thing. Correct is what you are. You.

Boy you ain't ever picked a history book up lol. Come on now, you ain't pullin one over on ol' Zeph in this department.

Notice how those are all modern figures. Maybe like the world has changed or something since Alexander was around....
Also the conquest and destruction of your posts by me is a humanitarian action sanctioned by all the charter members of this forum.

Well! No dessert for you young man.

@Drake:

And you aren't?

Nah. I just get a kick out of guys like Monkey King doing it though. You don't have to put gifs in spoilers. Grow a pair.

@RobbyBevard:

Remember, you're completely innocent and getting picked on for no reason whatsoever.

Which is why I said I was playing devil's advocate. Didn't say I actually was a devil's advocate.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

We all know Griffith is a horribly corrupt sexual deviant who would make Caligula blush. But in the interest of fairness I wanted to explore his character. If Monkey King can take it up the ass and be considered a good person by the lot of you (and he isn't a good person for the record) then it stands to reason that this might apply to others as well. I'm fully aware that Griffith was irredeemable from the start but I wanted to explore his character. If Berserk is a deep as you guys believe then why would this introspection into Griffith's character strike such a controversial chord?

@Monkey:

Are you seriously trying to argue this stupid point using people from Antiquity? If Alexander and Attila existed today they would be considered monsters. In fact Attila was considered a monster even in his own time.
The only reason Alexander wasn't was because he's become tangled in both a silly national myth for Greeks and because he's become an extremely weak defense point for idiots who adher to the clash of civilizations model. He ain't seen so hot in Iran.

Griffith did a ton of stuff, for no reason. To become king. So what? That's not a cause.
Alexander and Attila were the same, they weren't fighting for a cause beyond conquest. They destroyed a bunch then died suddenly and their "achievements" collapsed almost immediately. At best leaving bizarre cultural impressions behind. Persia even came back eventually.

Either you've never learned History, or you somehow managed to learn it in like 1957.

Stick to the terrible whiny homophobic jokes. Or better yet just stop posting. Bad history and trying to look manly after admitting to being afraid of a comic book both aren't very attractive options you have to admit.

Are you getting defensive over a comic book? You jenga as fuck. Look dude this is my niche. I'm good at playing devil's advocate, you're good at taking it up the ass. The deeds of Western Civ are about as blood drenched as the deeds of the East and each respect corner of the world holds their history to be a holy relic. Doesn't matter how bloodthirsty or monstrous a historical figure was, they're heralded in the history books as a hero. Except if your name happens to be Stalin, Hitler, Bin Laden, Hussein, or Monkey King.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

And seriously dude, calm the fuck down. It really looks like comic books are the only thing you have going on in your life. Even if that's true you should at least try to save face.

@Herodadotus:

I read all your posts in Bale's Batman voice, just so you know.

I guess you just…

@andre:

Haha, I'm rereading all of his posts now and they're so awesome. (And really loud)

I used to be taken…

seriously.

YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

@RobbyBevard:

If you have a reason for it, not really anything wrong just in wanting to be at the top.

But when presented with the sheer body count that was going to be involved in getting there, and then accepting it? Knowing how many would have to die for Griffith to become a king? Willingly sacrificing hundreds of guys you've known for years? Yeah, that's pretty messed up.

Though in the long run he may be the savior of the world that makes everything work out, so… who knows.

Lol well that's a matter of perspective then isn't it. Let's look at manga:

1. Hashirama Senju did the same thing.
2. So did the 3rd Hokage.
3. In Bleach Soul Society did the same thing.
4. In Hitman Reborn Primo probably took out dozens of Mafia families to make the Vongola supreme.

In real life we have

1. Alexander the Great
2. Atila the Hun
3. Liu Bei although history tends to demonize Cao Cao they seem to forget that Liu Bei and Sun Jian was just as guilty of shedding innocent blood during the Three Kingdoms era.
4. Really all men who held ruling authority.

I'd argue that until that point where Griffith allowed himself to be corrupting by the beliet (however its spelled) he was no different from any other person that history teaches us to call great men.

@RobbyBevard:

Griffith always wanted to be king. He was never going to settle with just leading a mercenary band. That was just a means to an end.

Demon King was an opportunity he didn't expect that of course he accepted given the chance.

No. I've read interviews before. He notes Beowulf and Conan as inspirations, and I remember he listed off other stuff as well. But I can't remember what.

I'm double checking my facts and asking for a refresher on others that I've forgotten.

Is it inherently wrong to want to be a king?

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

Griffith seems more Machiavellian than evil. Well, before he became a godhand anyway.

@RobbyBevard:

Because its not the same argument.

I'd never make the argument that Goku and Vegeta are gay, because they aren't. I wouldn't for Yusuke and Kuwabara either. But Hiei and Kurama? Eh, could be, but theres not enough there I'd make a real argument about it.

Killua is in love with Gon. That could turn into something else when they get older, but its not a thing currently. They're kids, and I expect Gon to turn out straight, and Killua will never make a point of it. That's love, not just respect and camaraderie in there. The emotional breakdown Killua had over even falsley perceiving Gon choosing a girl over him says how deep that goes.

Guts respects and idolizes Griffith and wants to be his friend. And Griffith wants to use Guts as a tool. (And even specifically says Guts is NOT his friend, due to his lack of dream, which is what screws everything up.) It breaks him once Guts stops being so, and thats a super complicated thing, (More complicated than even Griffith himself knew) and Caska is sort of in the middle of it and ends up being a display of who is in control between them.

Gon and Killua are still kids. Guts is very clearly straight. Griffith is more asexual, but most of his advances, pretense or not, are towards Charlotte, (But there is no love there on his side, all an act) and after becoming Femto and having Guts at his Mercy, its Caska he decides to violate, in a display of "I'm better than you once again". Griffith and Guts is WAY more complicated than just "Griffith thinks Guts is hot and wants him in bed." And Guts most certainly does NOT.

Both complicated and very different relationships. In neither case do I think sex is a major factor. It might be an undertone to both, but… not a major factor in either.

Stage One: Denial, but yeah that's OK. We'll come back to this once you're ready to talk about it. Anyway, change of direction. Was there any point where Griffith's dream was noble? Part of me feels that had he been ignorant of the Beheliet (I know I fucked that up) he might have been satisfied just leading a band of mercenaries.

@Herodadotus:

Dude, people wouldn't be giving you so much grief if you just got over stuff. I mean, every debate I've seen with you involved devolves into a name-calling sludge, usually instigated by you.

You've obviously not seen my in the Final Fantasy thread, FT thread, Nisenmonogatari thread and many others. I've been involved in many debates and the only issues I've had is with Vex and his side-kick Monkey King. Do not speak of things that are beyond your knowledge.

@Herodadotus:

Monkey King has given everyone their fair share of grief at one point or another, you've just gotta get over it.[/QUOTE

Monkey King needs to learn to play by the rules like everyone else on this forum. All members are expected to follow the rules except Monkey King and Robby correct? Those two get a pass. Someone like you might think that is justice. Someone like me thinks differently.

@Taggerung:

Obviously the entire website and all of it's mods are corrupt and beyond salvation. You should probably do something cool like take Oda hostage and threaten his life unless your demands at APForums are met. Then kill him anyway so you teach them the lesson that it is not ok to be jerk diseased meany heads.

I'm beginning to think you're entirely correct.

@Taggerung:

I think i enjoyed this movie so much i'm going to see it again, just shove all my money into nolans hands as fast as possible.

Nolan is getting more than enough money. I've never seen a movie that was good enough to see in theatres twice and TDKR is no different. I will admit that TDK was almost the movie that made me spend an additional $30 on a movie (cause we all know the concessions are what kills you) but my god all those dry scenes. A little rain wouldn't have killed The Dark Knight. That's probably why I feel the cinematography in Batman Begins was the best out of three movies. We got mountains, snow, rains, slums of Gotham, office buildings, prisons, a nice variety of setpieces.

@RobbyBevard:

http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=31716

I'd say he's pretty legit.

Also, fyi, Zephos isn't a mod. Quit reporting him and claiming he is.

If he were legit I wouldn't be reporting him would I?

@RobbyBevard:

Can't there be a bond between two men that respect and need each other without it being gay?

Of course. You and Monkey King appear to be all over each other but it's just two men somehow finding mutual respect in each other. But Griffith crossed that line when he started banging guys.

@Silence:

Also Xerxes, fyi, Monkey King is legit a respected contributor and longtime vet of these forums and doesn't dish it unless it's warranted more or less,
So you are really barking up the wrong tree trying to get someone to come down on him for something most folks would agree he's right about.
Especially folks that are really new here gotta have a strong case to take him to court,
So my advice is to spare yourself a lot of verbal blunt force trauma and not cry over love taps.

My apologies but there is nothing legit about that asshole or what he does. I don't give a damn if he's the president. Flaming members for having opinions different from his own and being allowed to do so is bullshit. I know that plenty of people around here are terrified of the ban hammer and so they let that shit slide but I'm not really the kind of guy who's afraid of someone on a forum.

And before the Kiss Monkey King's Ass Club starts chiming in with their taunts that went out of style in 2006, this is not XerXes Kaiser being an internet badass. I just refuse to take it in the ass from someone just because of their title.

@The:

Well, there was that one time I remember Guts and Griffith splashing each other… while naked.

There is definitely something sexual with wanting to assert dominance over someone, and it could be perceived as homosexual with it being Griffith over Guts. Frankly, I've always seen Griffith as asexual, and only using his sex to help him achieve what he wants (like with Charlotte).

He definitely has a lot of sugar in his tank. Almost as much as Monkey King. Almost. But I suppose he could simply look at sex as a form of domination or maybe he's just a hedonist similar to Dio.

@Herodadotus:

You're like that kid in school who always tried to insult everyone but when someone dished it right back, went crying to the teacher.

@Green_vs_Red:

^ With that mindset you're just begging to be massively dissapointed.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

@Monkey:

Lol at you trying to categorize yourself behind an actual smart insightful poster like Silence. Like people said, you suck. Not your movie stance.

For instance we know Silence is a smart guy because for instance he doesn't have an incredibly hilarious "I AM NOT COMPENSATING FOR SOMETHING" avatar sig set of little babby bandaids for his hurt ego loll.

Keep it coming. Just gives me more stuff to report you for.

@Insider2000:

I'm going through the series myself, as I missed much of it. And KOFXIII's popularity is growing and growing. At EVO, Street Fighter x Tekken (which is a terrible, terrible game, and I say that as a Street Fighter AND Tekken fan) had about 896 in the tournament. KOFXIII managed 1072 (Marvel 3 getting 1248 and SSF4AE2012 got 1536). So the fans are there. And every FGC friend I have loves the game, so be proud. The series is making it big here.

MK9 only had 256 though. lol

Glad to see KoF XIII getting the pop it deserves. The price isn't exactly going down so it's not surprising.

@Joy:

Basically,what the others said.I'm not a fan either of such stuff but in Berserk they mean something.

And after the eclispse there's nothing really homoerotic.

And I guess that Guts is the best kind of protagonist for the stuff you're looking for.

From what I've read in the manga and seen in the anime he's a real man's man. Glad to see such an endangered character type in its natural habitat. Think I'll head to stoptazmo and dl a few copies tonight.

@Cyclone_Baroness:

When did DBZ ignore it? Yeah the power scaling went to hell and Super Saiyans were popping up every arc, but the rules seemed too basic to forget.

I guess the power level thing in general. During the Saiyan arc, Vegeta was already powerful enough to blow up a planet. Yet somehow he gets his ass handed to him by the Androids and this is after going SS. And during the Frieza arc wasn't Goku's power level in the millions went he first went SS? By the Cell games their power levels were so ridiculous it was no wonder Toriyama just stopped mentioning them.

@Insider2000:

LOL! It's true though. A lot of people in the fighting game community feel the same way. Some are just too blinded by Capcom games to at least admit it's one of the best.

I, unfortunately, suck at it. Then again, the only fighter I'd say I have a good draw of skill in is MK9. Still, KOFXIII makes me want to get better at it.

I've played every game in the series but XII and XIII. I'll probably get XIII this week or next week. I heard XII was garbage but I might get it anyway as I'm such a fanatic for the King of Fighters series.

@KaizokuJinbei:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/24/final-fantasy-versus-xiii-not-cancelled

FF Versus XIII not cancelled

Pft, I have a bad feeling that we're going to wish it were cancelled. I'm telling you bro, this game better not be anything short of a balls to the walls experience.

@Nidhoeggr:

Mangaka's completely ignoring their self-established rules/systems/whatever concept they envisioned for their series. Particulary in battle Shounen: Ki, Chakra, Spirit Force and all the other bogus that gets thrown out of the window after chapter 100+ because the other author is incapable of handling his own series. Kishimoto, I'm looking at you.

Togashi should teach some mangakas how to utilize a system during his free time…after he finishes new HxH chapters, of course.

Looking at DBZ myself.

@Insider2000:

To be honest, KOFXIII is the best modern fighter out there right now.

Omg. I think I've fallen for you.

@RobbyBevard:

So you stopped basically where the series started, at the end of the flashback. Got it.

Did all the character development, intigue and world building before that mean nothing, show no sign of the author's talent and skill?

Yes, she was raped… and there were a ton of consequences to that, physical and emotional, for both her and Guts... and it also said everything about what Griffith had become, and why Guts' vendetta was so personal. Nevermind the slaughtering of all the Hawks...

My god you are the most defensive person on the forum. And why you have a smartass comment for everything is beyond me. I talked about my issues with the series, another poster was civil in pointing out the good things about Berserk and why I should give it another try. Nidhoggr's argument was more than suitable enough to convince me to give the series another go and then here comes RobbyBevard with a smartass comment for everyone and everything. You're the first person to hand out infractions when someone does that to another member. You are just as bad as the Rogue's Gallery in that Batman thread where the moment someone, anyone, says anything about a work in question you take it at as a personal attack on you. Berserk had content which I felt was inappropriate, content I was not used to dealing with in my manga. Nidhoeggr convinced me to give it another shot regardless of that. I did not need your director commentary complete with sarcasm.

@Silence:

Saw the movie twice, liked it better the second time around but The Dark Knight Rises had some serious editing, pacing, plot and tonal problems that took what could have been a great film and rather diminished it in my opinion.
The first time through there were enough niggling flaws that these distractions evinced stunned dislike ("am I not liking this film?" "Is there something wrong with me?"), before evolving into general, decided disappointment.

I was bothered enough by how underwhelmed I found myself after seeing it that I went for a second watch, but no. Even with the benefit of foreknowledge, this movie is too bloated to rise.
I don't think it would've helped even my first watch, since I'd predicted the exact ending of the movie long before sitting in that theater.

! Talia, Bane, and Joseph Gordon Levitt were known quantities well in advance of release so there was no "WHAM!" moment just characters going through the motions in a film with too little heart.I'm shocked by how much better I feel Dark Knight was as a film.

Sorry. Didn't do it for me at all!
It just didn't live up to its potential, imo.

I, and many of us with cooler heads agree with everything you posted. While not a bad film, it did have a number of flaws that prevented it from rising about its predecessor.

@Nidhoeggr:

It's the Lost Children arc, my personal highlight of the series. However, I doubt you will enjoy some scenes when you hated the Eclipse. Anyway, I wouldn't skip a single chapter in any manga: Everything is important and Miura actually references a lot of stuff in-between panels that you might not get when you skip around too much.

K. I'll give it another shot then. Had enough of these soft shonen protagonists so I'm reading manly manga like Fist of the Blue Sky, and JoJo so I guess I can hop back into this one.

So yeah, XerXes Kaiser, and the Kyo Clones just want to say, Fuck Capcom. Play our damn music.

@Nidhoeggr:

Too bad, the best arcs follow shortly afterwards (at leats in my humble opinion). And unlike most manga, most sexual assaults do have consequences in Berserk and for the most part serve as character development.

Unlike certain other series…Wol-..Rape Guy for example.

What's the arc after that? Maybe I can get into it.

blonde hair blue eyed shonen heroes

Mortal Kombat 9, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, and Growslanser: Heritage of War.

Antimony ~ Mutually Exclusive Dichotomy
You wouldn't expect a fighting game to have a track this good.

@IceBorg:

My memory might be a bit bad with this series, but when was the last time we had any of that?

Idk. There are laden homoerotic undertones any time Griffith is talking to Guts. I more or less stopped reading when Casca got gangbanged by demons.

He's no Angry Joe, but I'll give the guy a peep.

@Cyclone_Baroness:

Lol. I like Grimjow, cause I like cats and he got some good hits in on Ichigo (always a plus), but he should stay gone.

They kill Byakuya and bring back Grimmjow? That's not a bad trade imo.

Hope they'll tone down the rape and homoerotic undertones. O.o

Very sloppy trailer in that regard. But the first trailers for most movies tend to look like shit anyway. That or they're boring. Even TDKR didn't get an interesting trailer until the 3rd or 4th one. The trailers give us some initial impressions but you would all keep in mind that a trailer doesn't make a movie. Lackluster trailers can lead to pretty spectacular movies. Of course the reverse is also true, where a trailer can be balls to the wall and the movie could just be a kick in the nuts. Look at Spirits of Vengeance.

@Waffles:

This movie is still better and far more entertaining than 90% of the garbage out there. Especially the crap that gets released nowadays. Lets all agree to disagree.

It's amazing how you guys dogpile anyone who doesn't think The Dark Knight Rises is the greatest most perfect movie ever made. I love the internet. Anyway, I'd still hold The Dark Knight as the best out of the three films. Despite the myriad of things wrong with that one, it was still a spectacular movie. If only it ended differently…

@Kitsune:

I haven't played Uncharted 3 so I don't know what you mean, but what I mean is that the story needs to work around the game, and not the other way around. It by no means is a parasitic relationship. Look at Xenoblade, for instance. Everything in that game's story is part of gameplay. I mean, FF13 had Lightning's gravity controlling device but it never plays a role within the gameplay, which is a small example of how story elements are NOT serving the gameplay. FF12 does decently with this when it actually lets you equip the MacGuffin weapons (but they're awful), while FF9's story serves its gameplay very well with the way Trance is worked into the story.

It's not just about attacks and powers though either. The story has to fit the context of the game. Take Final Fantasy XIII once more. Final Fantasy XIII's story is ultimately about free will and fighting fate, yet players are literally shuttled along a straight line the entire game with NO freedom to do what they want save for some imagined freedom back in Chapter 11. It's a contradiction of the story and moral it's trying to tell… in an interactive video game. :\

Very insightful post and I agree with a lot of your points. The only thing I would disagree with is your post concerning FFXIII's linear gameplay. The linearity of FFXIII wasn't so much as the gameplay being a disservice to the plot, rather the gameplay and the plot working hand-in-hand. The story or the theme of Final Fantasy wasn't a statement about fighting against fate, rather it was a question of whether or not you could fight fate.

We see in FFXIII a constant jockeying, a back and forth between people who fight their destiny and people who are victims there of. We see Lightning fighting the fate of a l'Cie yet we see Serah's fate determined by her nature as a l'Cie. Dajh contra Zazh, Cid Raines contra Fang, they game is filled with characters who suffer their fate as well as those characters who strive to fight against it. Even the ending has no real "everyone wins" set-up because with regards to Fang and Vanille, one might say that in becoming Ragnarok and destroying Orphan's Crib, they completed their focus, hence the reason they turned to crystal and still remain in that state. Right up until the end some characters have free will while some are still puppets of their Focus.

Just because a character tries to exert freewill that doesn't mean they will succeed, and just because a character believes they can fight against fate, that by no means assures victory. Now of course the real reason for the linearity of FFXIII's gameplay was piss poor design, which I won't deny, but if we're going to address this from the perspective of story line, XIII wasn't about the expression of free will so much as it was the struggle to attain it. In the same way the characters had no control over where they were going in their adventure, the gammer had no control in that regard as well.

@RPG:

Oh well goodbye face cm punk hello heel.I guess it was comin

It's about damn time too. I hope he doesn't do something lame like change his entance theme though.

DX was lame, just like they have been for years. They're the Rolling Stones of wrestling which means their gig is tired and their sum age round out at about 200. It was good to see X-Pac sober though. He still looked like he didn't know where the hell he was but I was glad to see him. Charlie Sheen still Winning as always. The Rock is still lame. Best thing Undertaker had going was his new outfit. Glad to see The Miz capture the title. Christian couldn't have lost to a better person. After all that trash talking Triple H got his ass BEAT by my man Brock Lesnar, and CM Punk turned his back on the fans which was just awesome. And the great thing about his cult of personality is that they'll still love him. Rather pissed off I didn't see Wade Barret or Stone Cold but all-in-all I was satisfied. The trick to watching WWE events is never get your hopes up.

@Malintex_Terek:

I'm pretty sure Kiss-Shot was deeply in love with Araragi, and Nadeko definitely wants to bang him. It's not just Hanekawa and Senjougahara.

Also, I watched none of Nise, but I really liked Bake. Nise's general plot even before it aired sounded…stupid, and Bake had a great ending with closure to the romance. It shipped Araragi and Senjougahara the whole series and that's how it bowed out.

Nisen had a lot of missed opportunities with regards to Kaiki Deishu. Kaiki Deishu's introduction set him up to be a brilliant and imposing psychological and supernatural threat to Araragi. Trees died and the sky turned blood red as soon as this guy showed up yet the show never went anywhere with it. Still, it was better than most of the crap that came out around the time. Found this comical review of both series. Fairly spot-on.

Thought-provoking review and HILLARIOUS commentary on all the shit that goes down in this series.

"It looks like they just had…"

puts on shades

"Oral sex."

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm going to assume that tonight's show will be 10% matches and 90% bullshit.

@MJM:

Honestly, Mirajane hasn't show me anything that makes her good imo. Yeah she's really strong and all but I just don't like her as much as everyone else…

Mirajane is one dimensional. She's a trope really and nothing else, i.e., "Beware The Nice Ones." She's not interesting and from a plot standpoint it's easy to see why Mashima isn't putting her in the spotlight. If we assume however that FT is a real world where real tactical decisions are being made it would be more sensible to include Mirajane in the team rather than Gray who has a history of failure. Or so as not to offend the fandom, a history of lackluster performances.

Spoilers? Seriously is there anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet?

@Noqanky:

I get that a lot of people are really into Nolan's Batman, but as great as those movies are Superman needs to be a different film. If they try to do all things exactly the same, which is the impression I got from the trailer, then count me out. There's so much more that could be done with Superman.

I'm glad someone had the decency to say that. Man of Steel needs to be its own movie with its own identity. No one wants to see Superman Begins as it would be a spectacular waste of time. Some backstory is good for the one or two people on earth who don't know who Superman is, but I want to have an epic movie that places Superman in a story that does the character justice which is something Hollywood has never been able to do.

YES! YES!! YES!!!

Sounds like you're caught up.

@Nobodyman:

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Actually, if Kishi really is referring to Jiraiya in that statement, I seriously will laugh.

He probably will do something that uninspired. I can't wait to hear about all those people who are going to cry and celebrate Jiraiya's return.
