@MonteCristo Norway has a similar system were its betting goes back to its own sport specifically football/soccer. Its also why its frowned upon when norwegian players gets betting sponsors from non government funded betting places.
Tom hollands spiderman is going to be the vehicle in which marvel will "modernize/butcher" different characters like X - Men. Going to be interesting seeing down the line in how much changes there will be and how the stans will happily embrace the "modern" way.
@NathanGraviteh FRLG should be higher it is by far the best remake. It doesnt change what doesnt need to and adds interesting new things. Islands endgame + improved elite four. HGSS adds following mon thats it. While levels being very low later and the Johto mons available is not fixed.
Seeing articles about japan centralizing anime for the global audience just makes me thing "Oh so this is how anime as we know it goes to die" well normies will stay winning with million JJK adaptations incomming.
Generally the couples will also lean towards the majority which is 1 male and 1 female and rarely will it be same gendered even if some fan bases (westerners usually) would desire something else. So there you have it fellow westerners a little look into a new world.
For anyone wondering why female characters in a shounen tend to lean towards the male gaze as it were then the reason for that is that Shounen is a male targetered genre. The more you know but i know plenty of people (westerners) who apparently havent realized this.
@EdelVHresvelg If your reffering to anime maybe but if your looking at novels then Korea , china and Japan have all kinds of different genres that are genuinly well written and good.
@I_Am_CyberSmith@Nerdcognito Forcing changes to something so that it can be pallatable to normies is not being sincere towards the subject its just about milking it more money. Dumbing down what doesnt need it or bloating stuff multiverse/collab shit that takes away from the actual thing.
@I_Am_CyberSmith@Nerdcognito And then you have MTG were certain controverseies around their sets got so bad they tried to make the people outs who spoke negatively about their game.
You fail to understand that in the 80s/90s people sincerly interacted with those medias while now they dont.
@MonteCristo I think the narrative reason was actually interesting. Like your a guy with an ancestor in the olden days and you take their place kinda. That being said i can see why you want to drop the middleman per say and go straight into the world without being shown or told much else.
@I_Am_CyberSmith@Nerdcognito It doesnt require consent but it requires people who accept it and with less acceptance of a product there will be less who buys it. Gatekeeping creates controversy which leads to negative perceptions and thoughts which again makes it worse in the public eye.
@I_Am_CyberSmith@Nerdcognito A game or a hobby is created and developed by its consumers if the people who consume it gatekeep more it creates a barrier and it tends to weed out some bad faith actors. Alot of things wouldnt be as big as they were without the actual passionate people behind it.
