If you haven't watched into the badlands, please do and stop watching warrior. Warrior should have been a 2hrs movie, not a series. Anyway, what do I know.

Into the Badlands is set in a post-apocalyptic backdrop with Wuxia and fantasy elements while Warrior is set in San Francisco during the progressive era and has its action grounded in Wushu and Street Boxing. Into the Badlands also features a predominantly Caucasian cast as opposed to Warrior's predominant Asian cast.

I would ask you how the power tussles and sub-arching plotlines in Warrior would be established and resolved satisfactorily in 2 hours, but like you said, what do you know.

GodWrites:
The only reason I watched season one was because I had already download it. There is nothing unique with the series.

Just something generic, they didn't bring anything new to the screen. It's an overrated piece of shit, and I regret wasting my 3GB on it.

Can you gimme 2 other martial arts TV series set in the progressive era with a major Asian cast to watch? I really want to watch other shows like Warrior.

It's a general issue in (non-yuri) anime romcoms. How am I supposed to believe that this character who is supposed to be a loser, who isn't attractive or physically fit, this character who spends all day jerking off and pays for rental girlfriends suddenly so many women in his orbit?

Oh yeah! I just suspend reality for most romcoms like this, cos they have a lot of "no way this happens in real life" moments and relationships.

PUSSYHOE:
for 4 good years I have been persecuted for my moniker, NAIRALAND thought me the approach.

So basically a case of "if you can't beat them, join them". You could have chosen to be better than the mob, you know!

CoolUsername:
Anime. This Ruka chick is bringing the quality down, though.

Hmmmmmm! I didn't really mind Ruka, even though I didn't particularly like her character.

iamNegro:
I don't know what made me bash it after seeing only one episode. Is it really interesting?

No. It's trash like Fire Force, Akudama Drive and, you know, every other anime you seem to hate for no tangible reason.

stonemind:
disappointing ending

THE UNDOING

Impossible! You no know say na HBO do the show

PUSSYHOE:
hahahahhahaaha kaycee na thunder go fire you. besides my moniker doesn't define me doest it?

Well, if someone's display picture defines your approach to them, then yes, your moniker does define you.

Peppul:
name?

Violet Evergarden

Y'all really out here expecting basic civil manners from a moniker named PUSSYHOE!!

CoolUsername:
Turns out that Rent-a-Girlfriend is actually quite good.

You reading the manga or watching the anime?

Well deserved!!!

newguy1:
the English media said it’s racist in the uk...

Which is why he took it down and apologized.

n yes if a white or Asian should use it against a black man it’s racist pure n simple

Of course, it would be deemed racist if a white or Asian used it. They don't speak South American Spanish, do they?

newguy1:
i mind them jare even if u ment it to b racist u are welcome, they do more than this to blacks. Cavanni said something niggar after there Sunday game n man utd have been defending him saying he didn’t mean it in a racist content

So everything that sounds like "nigga" is now racist, despite the context? Do you even know what Cavani said and what it means?

Liposure:
this meme guy scares me after what he did in birds of prey. Imagine turning three people upsidedown and then skinning them alive in the process

Different persons. The guy in my pic is a wildlife worker, known for his interactions with animals in the wild. Can't really recall his name.

Mark23:
At this point, I'm not sure whether you're actually serious or you're just messing with me
Someone made a speculation and a manga reader confirmed that it was true. It wasn't a vague hint given in response to a question asked.

I actually feel I'm the one being one messed with at this point. Cos we literally come back to the same conundrum where I end up asking you, "Who dies?"
And if you can't answer that, then you probably don't know the meaning of vague.

Bertholdt's death occurred in season 3 of the anime. I wasn't aware I needed a spoiler warning to post about that in an anime discussion thread. It's not like it happened in a recent episode.

And Randomshek was not aware he needed to attach a spoiler alert to a hint.

Disagree away I guess.

A few months ago when some people complained about NSFW content being posted here, IIRC, you were one of those who said nsfw or not, all anime contents belong here.
So I'm not surprised that you see nothing wrong with his post.

So basically, whatever you disagree with is uncool behavior. Noted!

Mark23:
I didn't make any excuse man. Just pointed out how weird it is that someone who thinks I should avoid the Internet so as to not get spoiled complained about anime spoilers in an anime group.

Lol! That was actually a tongue-in-cheek reference to how you actually posted a spoiler without a spoiler alert, while raising hell over a vague hint that someone dropped in response to a question, claiming it's a spoiler.

And I never expected you to see any point. I mean, you have a history of defending uncool behavior on this thread. I was just airing my opinion for everyone to see.

And I'm basically disagreeing with your opinion.
Also, what uncool behavior have I ever defended on this thread?

WWE Raw Reviews recaps and reactions

BRANK!
I knew that Miz and Morrison would be absolutely dreadful and I still put myself through the MizTv segment. That’s my fault. I absolutely hate this duo. Their jokes are bad, they act like 5th grade schoolyard bullies.
“Money in the Brank” was pretty funny, though. Nowhere near “McInfart”! Miz and Morrison attacked Sheamus during the segment no one should care about, and Drew was nowhere to be found. That’s… real friendly.
Later in the tag match, McIntyre started by bulldozing through Morrison. He tossed Miz and Morrison all over the place.
Sheamus got down to the floor and started getting in Styles’ face while he was on commentary and Miz tried to take advantage, but Sheamus saw it coming.
Styles caused a DQ and wanted Miz to cash in the briefcase, as he said he’d help Miz do before this match (mentioned below) and Miz was mad at him for interfering. But Miz then decided he wanted to cash in and then Drew woke up and destroyed Miz and Morrison.
Then one of the best moments of the show happened. Jordan took AJ off the apron and had him up on his shoulders, and he was holding him like a 5 year old getting carried away from the playground.
I’m intrigued to see AJ and Drew and how Jordan gets to play big hoss versus Drew. Also they’ve never faced each other before and that’s a welcome sight. More first time match-ups please!
Also also, I was sure that Sheamus was going to turn on Drew and I’m glad it didn’t happen. All they did was talk about how they’re best friends and it usually telegraphs things to come, but I’m glad they pivoted on that.
For now.



New contender
Matt Riddle’s promos are dog shit, bro. Doing the Fat Bastard “I’m dead sexy” from Austin Powers? Bro. No, bro. The rabbit and turtle stuff with AJ? My goodness. Dog shit.
AJ and Riddle both sold their asses off for Keith Lee. Keith is such a great agile big man.
Keith tossed AJ across the ring so hard he slid into the ringpost and it sent him to the floor. Riddle got himself out of a Spirit Bomb and tried to lock an armbar in, and Keith used Riddle as a weapon to take out Styles. I love shit like this.
KEITH LEE KICKED OUT OF A STYLES PIN AND STYLES LANDED ON RIDDLE HAHAHAHA!!!
This match was really fun, even knowing who was going to win. They’re murdering Riddle, dropping his first name and giving him these awful promos. Exactly what everyone was worried would happen. Keith Lee had a great showing here, and it’s nice to see him in more matches with actual finishes.
Miz and Morrison came up to Styles and Styles said he’d help Miz cash in so that he could face him at TLC instead of Drew, which makes a whole bunch of sense. Though I know somehow Styles would end up losing that match because… it’s WWE.


The Rest

A Moment of Bliss - Randy Orton made a nice comparison between he and The Fiend. Both of them hear voices in their head. I really like the history between these two. Alexa playing with Orton with the considerable size difference looked awesome, too. She is the Fiend’s weakness and I guess that tells you that even a monster can find true love.

Slapjack def. Ricochet - Wow I did not think they would put that stellar Ricochet promo from Twitter on television. Oh my God the RETRIBUTION entrance production. These people should be fired. Ricochet kept his eyes on Ali for the first few moments and Slapjack took advantage. I absolutely hate that now that RETRIBUTION has been signed and made part of the WWE regular roster, the “heel” announcer is on their side. C’mon. I don’t need to hear Joe against Ricochet just because he’s a babyface.
Dana Brooke appeared out of nowhere and slapped Ali for when Reckoning did last week or the week before. (The days blend in with each other now.) Then Slapjack pinned Ricochet with a really nice looking move. (someone called it a Lightning Spiral.) It looked pretty vicious so that’s nice to see at least. Honestly, I hate most of this team’s booking, but I am intrigued to see what would happen if Ricochet joined them.

Dana Brooke def. Reckoning - L-O-L. Come on, man. She lost the match and her mask in the first 10 seconds of the match. Good win for Dana but like… come on, man.

Cedric Alexander def. Xavier Woods - New Day spent their promo time before the match showing us exactly why there’s no point in WWE giving anyone from Hurt Business a match against anyone of New Day. Cedric came out and said he was not Shelton (sowing seeds of dissension from last week!) and attacked Woods. Cedric is such a great seller. Woods is excellent at everything. Let’s all be honest with each other. We knew that once Woods mentioned that he was hosting the G4 he was losing tonight. WWE can’t make anyone look good heading into a non-WWE project and Hurt Business needs to continue getting tag title matches.
Where are the other Raw tag teams? Actually, who are the other tag teams? I already don’t remember. Lucha House Party are 24/7 fodder. Ivar is out injured, Garza and Andrade are split, I actually WANT them to split Miz and Morrison, there’s like… no teams anymore. Cedric won and celebrated up the ramp by himself. He was suuuper hyped up. Hmmm.

Jeff Hardy def. Elias - This feud was continuing on Main Event, but then they had to bring it back on Raw, even after Jeff Hardy already technically won the feud after the guitar on a pole match. The 24/7 stuff had to intertwine as Truth hid in a piano and Elias and Jeff both attacked Lucha House Party and Drew Gulak! Jerks! They played with some drums, Elias ran into a gong, Elias got electrocuted, Jeff went to the top of the ringpost and Swanton Bombed Elias through a table while slamming his own head into the steel steps.
Commentary then said that Jeff finally put an end to this rivalry, but he literally did that weeks ago with the other match. And we all know it’s most likely that this feud still isn’t going to be done.

Asuka and Lana def. Nia and Shayna - There are two stories going on here. One - WWE management has no regard for Lana’s well-being by continuing to have her anywhere near Nia and Shayna, and Two - WWE management have nothing for the Raw women’s champion. This is just stupid now.

I don’t know if this is true but this show felt like a show that was written very, very late today. Some parts were really good, like the triple threat and Alexander and Woods. Raw just seems like an endless cycle of mediocre and just enough creativity that puts a smile on my face enough to warrant a grade higher than a C- every week.

Asuka having an uneventful title run is just depressing.

PUSSYHOE:
that will make you a sexist!

You seem to be using words without understanding their meanings.

Mark23:
Well, this is an anime group and it aired a while ago so...
Anyway, it wasn't intentional. Maybe if I had known I would have "hinted" that one of them died. I'm sure you'd have appreciated that

I would have appreciated that. Or you using a spoiler alert rather than make excuses.

I have made my point. I have neither the time nor energy to continue this argument tbh.

We'll just leave it at you being tired cos I don't really see any point you made.

Mark23:
He literally confirmed that of of those three is going to die in season four. Please why doesn't that count as a spoiler? It would in any decent anime sub on reddit. If someone had "hinted" that either Reiner or Bertholdt would die in season 3 would Bertholdt's death have had the same impact to you?

You just spoilt Bertholdt's death for me.

Or maybe manga readers could just be more considerate to anime onlies? This is something that happens in the anime community in general but it's out of control among aot fans.
Last time I checked this thread, in particular, was meant for anime discussion first and foremost. But of course it's too much to ask people who want to discuss the manga to add a warning to their posts?

But he was being considerate, which is why his answer was vague rather than precise.

Mark23:
He literally confirmed that his speculation was true. He didn't hint at anything. Nothing stopped him from adding a spoiler warning to his post.
And please, let's not pretend that even "hints" can't ruin someone's experience. You can only thoroughly enjoy a show the first time if you go into it with an open mind.

So, who dies exactly? You literally don't know anything definite and yet you keep insisting that he posted a spoiler.
And if hints ruin your watching experience, then you might as well, avoid the internet until you finish watching the show. Unless you mean to ask people to start posting "hint alerts" in their posts.

PUSSYHOE:
isn't it obvious? " these Asians" he even mentioned the race.

No, it's not obvious. And last I checked, "these Asians"is an appropriate and political term.
Lastly, his problem, as stated in the post, is not with the Asians themselves, but with the "flying around."

PUSSYHOE:
is this a joke?

OK. What was racist about his post?

Mark23:
Wtf are you saying?
Of course someone is going die. Does that make it ok to spoil?

Bruh! There's a difference between a speculation, a hint and a spoiler.
Coolusername speculated that one out of a few characters might die this season.
Randomshek hinted that there was some truth to his speculation.
But we don't know who dies or whether only one dies or whether they all die.
Spoiling takes away the surprise factor and/or emotional feel an event would have had. All Randomshek has done is up the tension. He confirmed a vague suspicion without giving up any detailed information.
I personally loathe spoilers with passion, so trust me, Randomshek's post doesn't qualify as a spoiler.

PUSSYHOE:
bloody racist!!!!

Whoa! Calm down, dude. There's nothing racist about that post.

Mark23:
I know that one of them is going to die. Let's not pretend that doesn't count as a spoiler

Bruh! It's AoT. Someone's always going to die. And if you really thought otherwise, you probably didn't know which show you were watching.

Mark23:
Can you guys just not give spoilers casually without warning?

So who's going to die?

nkiliuzo:
well how many people have magic powers not to talk less of someone who is even a proclaimed prodigy, I refuse to believe there was nothing she could have done... am not hating her tho, am just used to anime MC doing and saving stuffs, so I was quite surprised she didn't do Nada! now look at episode 9, when is she actually gonna grow up. even with all my ranting.. I still like the anime sha

I'm not saying there was nothing she could do. Or that her not doing anything was the right thing.
Yeah, action shonen MCs usually play hero a lot but Slice of Life is a different ball game. It tends to mirror real life.
Haven't seen episode 9, yet.

budaatum:
Kaycee7, e be like say you get sense. I go follow you small hoping I can be like you when I grow.

Bros, abeg ooo! I only have sense on Sunday.

R2bees:
This Warrior sef.. hope it's not all these martial art stuff?? I get bored a times watching these Asians fly in movies.

Wave bye bye when you see it.
