Here’s hoping the ‘ABSOLUTE BATMAN’ animated series doesn’t pull any punches.

@iconicreleasing @HIDIVEofficial @SentaiFilmworks New English dub or the original dub?👀

Now that people have had time to read it, and I've had a bit of time to chew on it, my opinion on CSM's ending is that it's REALLY good. As worthy a spiritual successor to Devilman as the TV Ending of EVA, and sure to be just as divisive in its profundity. It does come out of left field, but that's how Fujimoto's written the story from the beginning. All the best arcs throw Denji into it without warning as a natural result of the chaotic forces in play, so pulling him out of it the same way just makes sense. And it lets the series say exactly what it wants to say without getting bogged down in extraneous details or overlong goodbyes.

The only thing I think could have really improved it is a little bit more of Asa's perspective in the last few chapters - "season 2" mostly treats her as a deutoragonist so not getting her input in the final few moments feels weird. Though at the same time, the story was mostly about her total lack of agency so it's fitting in that sense. Pochita taking Denji's agency away at the end is also thematically fitting, and I think handled perfctly - he's watched Denji pursue what he wants this whole time alongside us, so it makes sense that he'd understand better than anyone that what Denji really NEEDS is to not be Chainsaw Man anymore.

In the end, we're left with the sense that Denji could and probably will be killed by a devil at any moment, but that was always the case. And until then, he's got his other brain cell back, his little sister and the woman he loved are happy, and he's eating a lot better than toast every day... even if he can't afford it. Perhaps he will even touch another boob one day, but regardless, he is content for now, and that's all he could really ask for.

Might expand on my thoughts on this and the rest of the season in an off-the-cuff vlog. Probably I'll talk a bit there about my theory on what primal fear Pochita actually represents. I know some were hoping for a full honest review, but I just don't have time to give it a full scripted video right now, and honestly I don't know if enough of my audience keeps up with the manga to make it worthwhile.

@BlackMajikMan90 A new take can still be faithful without having to retell the stories we know from the games. Cregger has definitely shown to be a unique voice in the horror genre.
I'm sure he's cooked up something fun.

@shinobi602 I love Flanagan and he always nails King's work
But Darabont's film was great
Doesn't seem necessary🤷

[Miguel Antonio Dos Santos @TheBeardedMig]

@edgesolar @RTSHmovie Still keen to see it regardless.
People didn't like Gans' first film either.

I'm still on the side that it's a decent film.
I'm sure this will still be enjoyable

This one video has really exposed the amount of people that use cheats and are trying to collectively gaslight you that they don't

@markgoldbridge Premier League is a different beast.

@JakeBaldino This is a bad, bad omen

[Kabi @KabiPlays]

This is a depressing list.

No wonder most of y'all think that gaming is in a rut.

They genuinely wasted half of this gen in chasing live service slop

@SilentDawnLB You're not alone man, just take things one day at a time.

@DiscussingFilm This has Zaslav written all over it.

Single-player games are forever fun.

Multiplayer games are made with an expiry date.

I often think about how deeply depressing it is that Tim Burton’s “Batman” movies simply could not exist in this modern micro-managed franchise marketplace.

And you have people who act like somehow we’re richer for that.

The reason seemingly nearly every fight scene from early 2000s superhero movies go viral now is because they’re actual scenes.

Shot on built sets with specifically crafted lighting, wire work, and stunt work.

Not just CG on a soundstage.
