@TheMarvelousMrC Mob boss murders someone and Columbo is put on the case. Batman is turning a blind eye because the mob boss is keeping the underworld stable, but Columbo isn't letting it go, so Batman is now shadowing Columbo to keep him alive, before questioning his own methods.
@Drycanister In the Marvel Adventures line, Emma Frost instantly falls in love when she reads Spider-man's mind, because she does it to everyone and his was the first that was just a nice guy through and through.
@TheGoldenSmurf One is a pinup standalone piece and the other is from a panel, not really an apples to apples comparison. You can do the same thing comparing chapter 4 of Fairy Tail with the first page of the new manga.
@BlushedArts I see why people would say "past is better", but I love comparisons like this where what's being shown off isn't just the technical level of improvement, but the artist honing in on what their platonic ideal of beauty is. 26 is leagues better for me.
@pipkinpippa@wwarrior_1 I thought the writer might have been talking about ludonarrative dissonance between the difficulty of the game and the perfection of bond, like how sony spider-man dumbs down webswinging so you always feel cool. But no, the writer is simply an idiot.
@fulyanime That's kind of the point on a meta level. Hody is lame because he has no will. It's a brilliant moment that assassinates the character and it does so deliberately. Oda doesn't want you to think Hody is cool, he wants you to think such empty hatred is stupid.
@Croco239 Crocodile wasn't even lying. Everything he did was building up to finding that poneglyph, and when Robin lies to him, he realizes "well, this was a colossal waste of my time" and has no use for Alabasta anymore.
@wuu_wuuwuu40761@Shawn253059311@tunechistark Viltrumites are ftl in the comic book way where relativity doesn't exist and friction is a suggestion. But even then, they were never shown to have enhanced reflexes, so the top speed is only good for interstellar travel.
@Mastermind_Milt@SpiderManVibe The way marvel treats intelligence as power levels is just terrible in the first place. Otto is top 3 when it comes to inventing, is in the bottom 10% of the global population for long term planning/scheming because he doesn't understand how people think.
@Reisen_01000_@BoyWithTheThorn The instyle yt channel did a video on the costumes, and the designer emphasized that basically every outfit needed to be worked on a ton to make them look worn out, and they did nail it.
@Douglaskirchne2 There's a great moment like this for Spider-man, Dr. Strange telling him he has to get up. And he does, but unlike Batman, Spider-man can barely stand up, take a fighting pose, and he still gets ready for the next fight.
@sigmarshanks You could arguably say it's more like 5.3 billion since each volume collects 10 chapters. Superman comics get collected into volumes too, but they're counting individual issues to hit 600m. We could also add in the 20~ billion copies of WSJ featuring One Piece.
@unonumero_56 Luffy is pure but he's also rude, quick to temper, cares nothing about offending other people, is happy to steal anyone's treasure (see Skypeia), and can be unreasonable at times. When it matters he'll be the big damn hero, but the other stuff makes him great.
@Lokomachine@Promithean11 Up until the finale, it's a very natural evolution. We see him learn tricks and they're useless until he's put the work into practicing with them. He learned traction from a pro hero teaching him, crawling was an accident catching a train, etc.
