Well, there's always that curiosity to see the Valyrians at their peak that even the Targaryens were minor players. That wonder of how that world could have been and also exploring the war between the Valyrians and the Rhoynars (tho it could be explored in Princess Nymeria project).
of course, people just want to see the targaryens getting whooped and cowed. Lol. I'm not really curious to see how Valyria was, with the fact of how they used and abused blood magic and many experiment that involve both human and animal alike, I'd say exploring that story might be a bad idea.

Hope you remember how people reacted to Daenyris burning or Kings Landing and John Snow killing of Daenyris.

There's many theories related to their destruction.
Some say their excessive use of black magic led to their destruction with some experiments gone wrong. Most agree they were decimated by a massive doomday volcanic eruption that wiped out everyone in the region — even dragons weren't spared. 😢
Only the Targaryens who had fled the country long before the event after a premonition from Aenys Targaryen survived.
Yeah personally I'll go with the latter. I believe a volcano can be the only thing capable of wiping Valyria out entirely and even their dragons.

Some even say the atmosphere of Valyria have this dark red look. That's something a Volcano can do. It was the same in RinGs of Power, how Mordor came to be.

We've read about this occurrence for the third time now. Then I even wonder how smart people really were during those times.

Oshi no Ko episode 1....8/10


I suddenly started hearing about this new anime yesterday...it was all over the anime sphere of the internet...it seems to have a loyal fanbase since it was made by the same mangaka of Love is War

I decided to give it a try even though it didn't look like the kind of anime I watch...

So I just finished episode 1 of Oshi no Ko....

It wasn't bad...
The first 15 mins seriously grossed me out cos of its pèdophilia and Lolicon stuff.... and there were a few more moments like that too later on...and a few cringe things...

AI is a great character and was well developed
The story and emotions itself is solid.

I don't like the protagonist tho. Having a protagonist giving pèdo vibes grosses me out... he's creepy af to me...
It's not normal for an adult to have a 16 year old idol as his wallpaper

He was an adult doctor obsessed with an underage child idol (16 years old).
Turns out the 16 year old Loli was now pregnant and he's the Obstetrician treating her...

He was not only totally fantasizing at her and using her as his phone wallpaper, he heard about the fan fantasy of being reborn as the child of an idol and he fantasized about being reborn as her unborn child....wtf

Funny thing is that he was once flirting with a 12 year old patient who was a fan of the idol and said he'd consider marrying her when she turned 16...
That's how he got interested in the idol

Even after he died and was reborn as her child, he tried as much as possible to think decently of her...but his obsession creeped me out...

The story does take a dark turn at the end of the episode...so I wonder where it goes from here...
In all, it was a good Prologue...

I'll keep watching

BLEACH EPISODE 308.
Ichigo (final Getsugatensho form) just went solo on Aizen the same way a grown adult solo's a petulant 3 year old Kid and kept swatting away every attack Aizen ( no matter how many times he trancended to a greater form) threw at him with a look of pure indifference to the point that the ever so calm Aizen finally lost it and started to doubt himself and scream at the top of his lungs and argue with himself that a mere human couldn't possibly be beating him and then urahara showed up and wrapped it up like a boss wink grin cool
Arrancar arc -100/10

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 7/10
I am a big fan of Marvel movies and always watch every movie, this time it was a bit boring but overall I liked it. Today I want to rewatch Iron Man, besides I figured out how to use Kodi https://www.firestickhow.com/misfit-mods-lite-build-kodi.html so I finally can enjoy watching movies on Firestick.

Arrancar Arc ended after the battle at the human world started

But both arcs are still peak...Aizen is immortal...can't kill him...

Man was toying with Ichigo before he showed his hidden powers against Aizen

It isn't "woke" anything and they literally didn't change anything, it will even be nuts to change actual "History". Cleopatra was a feminist icon and this just looks like every other docu i have seen on her. What particularly upsets you about it or what have they "changed"?

Saw your Edit late. Her ancestry has always been of dispute and controversy. There are many school of thoughts about it, so google just gave you the exact answer you were expecting in from your search term, She was from an ancient greek state in Egypt, and became ruler of Egypt, what does that make her if i may ask?. E.g if Americans settled in Nigeria and have a state of thier own in Nigeria, with thier future generations been born here, what nationality will they be?

Ichimaru was good, being able to destroy everything in sight with his bankai was insane and had Ichigo beat and just told him to run away and don't even bother against Aizen if he had already lost his will to fight. But to think he went through all that trouble and followed Aizen for over a hundred years waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike just because of Matsumoto rangiku was so stupid. Assuming he did everything for himself and wanted to beat Aizen just for the heck of it, that would have been so much better. His character quickly went from being a badass to below average and he ended up being the only one Aizen took it upon himself to kill outright in the battle and in the end he died for nothing. And don't even get me started on the Gotei 13 captains who fought in the make-shift Karakura town ( except Toshiro and Komamura ) who foolishly refused to use their bankai's even against an enemy much more powerful than them but will instead choose to be humiliated and beaten to within an inch of their lives and still won't use it like WTF?

I disagree on Ichimaru Gin...

It was pure revenge for him...and the fact that he wanted to stop Aizen from doing to others what he did to Rangiku...

The only way to stop Aizen was to get his weakness...

For the Gotei 13 captains that didn't use their bankais...they do have reasons...
Those Bankais can't be used in open areas where they have allies...since it affects the entire area

Both allies and enemies may be killed

Good cinematography is always a gift to the eyes
Homie decided to give them a sneak peek as to why he is called Gabimaru The Hollow, that scene where he tore that poor guy's throat out with his bare teeth with blood and flesh ripping out was incredible. Mappa knows their stuff.

About the Gotei 13, Yamamoto said something similar when he was fighting Aizen but when he realized that he wasn't going to win without doing something reckless he was about to unleash his bankai, which surprised Aizen who asked if he was really willing to kill everyone around just to get to him and Yamamoto replied that he was and everyone on the battlefield knew what they were getting into and if that's what it takes then let them all die as long as Aizen's plans dies along with them, Before Wonderwise showed up as Aizen's backup plan to seal the old man's Zanpakuto flames. That should have been the mindset of all the captains on that battlefield from the start since they went to all the trouble of creating the fake town to ensure no civilians casualties, It should have been kill or be killed from the start.



What did Aizen actually do to Rangiku to warrant Ichimaru to go to such levels? Nothing much was shown except for a flashback of Gin coming across Rangiku as a kid laying helplessly and bloodied in the forest with Aizen somewhere nearby collecting souls from some unfortunate soul reapers. If Aizen had taken her soul then she wouldn't have lived let alone going on to become a Shinigami. Aizen wouldn't personally beat up some unknown poor kid who wasn't worth his time nor the effort. So what did he do to the girl exactly?

i do understand your point...but it depends on the person, not all captains were ready to risk that...

Besides it's not like the shinigami really cared that much about Kurakura town anyways...even if Aizen used the souls there to create the key to the Soul King's Palace...Squad Zero was still there waiting for him...

And they're sure that Squad Zero would handle Aizen if it came to that


Aizen took a part of her soul...I believe that's why she isn't strong...(Rangiku)
Not just her but many other Shinigami...
Gin wanted revenge for what she had lost... Aizen to be punished for what he had done to her and others

Got this off Reddit:

In around 300 BC, Alexander the Great conquered Egypt. When he died and his empire split, Egypt was ruled by Ptolemy, one of Alexander's generals. The Ptolemaic dynasty mostly practiced incest of the king marrying his sister, aunt, or cousin. Cleopatra was Ptolemy's great(x8)-granddaughter, her native language was Greek. She could have had some Egyptian or even Subsaharan blood, but she would not have been predominantly African or appeared "black". She would have looked Mediterranean/Middle Eastern.



Btw, the Netflix series isn't just using a black actress to fill the role...they are actually race swapping a historical figure...and claiming: "I don't care what your teachers say. Cleopatra was black"

Why don't you watch the docu series first before rambling about its theories you saw in a trailer.
That's why it's a docu for a reason.

Going with the antecedents of how documentaries work and basing off what it'll be when historical accounts such as this is well known to have different school of thought. Basing off how a docu is by a trailer seem redundant especially when it's coming from a single commentator. It's a touchy subject and hotly debated topic. In the league with the "Jesus was Black" talk. Theories like this also has some solid backing to support it. At times facts are updated based on newfound evidences from historical events and fossils.

Who knows whether they have new info we don't have yet. 🤨🙄 We learn new things everyday.

° Brodaman, it's just pure marketing, they don't care about the reviews if the number of views is rising. Controversy wins but I guess we all know their reputation. A good name is better than riches.
Now, African history is also not detailed, who wrote the history? That's the point. I wish our ancestors could document their past not the old archaic cave drawings, we are finding it hard to draw conclusions from. °
