Officially announcing my community discord server open anyone who'd like to join. Come and discuss stuff or just hang out for a bit to have a good time
MatPat is officially vindicated after years of being mocked for giving the Pope a copy of Undertale. They actually played Megalovania at the Vatican what is this timeline
Boycotts do work and I'm not trying to diminish the effectiveness of the Starbucks Boycott, but claiming these employees are being fired due to boycotts is very disingenuous. They're being fired due to Starbucks corporate greed and anti-union practices that predate the boycotts
The block button is a basic social media tool to protect against harassment. It's a necessity
This is most likely done because
A. Too many ads are being blocked
B. Too many Twitter Blue users are being blocked
C. Elon doesn't like that he's being blocked
D. All of the above
Just to clear somethings up
1. Yes it happened there's clips everywhere now a bunch in the replies here
2. "MatPat is vindicated" was mainly a joke I personally enjoy his stuff but get why others don't or may have issues
3. I'm catholic and I found this funny it's not that deep
Avatar the Last Airbender is a really good show, but I hate how it's starting to be treated like the first cartoon ever to depict Asian culture when these cartoons exist
Rooster Teeth as a company did have some major issues worth criticizing and addressing, but them shutting down shouldnt be celebrated at all. Countless people just lost their jobs with little to no notice, and this is yet another example of Warner Discovery incompetence and greed
Rooster Teeth is biting the dust after more than two decades.
Parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, after unsuccessful attempts to sell the unprofitable fandom, gaming and comedy entertainment division, is shutting down Rooster Teeth’s operations.
"Go to hell" is basic. "I hope your favorite Fire Emblem character gets reduced to a gimmick with little else of their original characterization remaining" is smart. It’s possible. It’s terrifying. It happened to me.
I'll never get over the fact that the main antagonist of Persona 5 Strikers is not only Tony Stark, but he's also a Kamen Rider with a lightsaber and his own mecha
A healthy and normal way to react to CYL8 results:
Express disappointment with the result but maybe next year your favorite has a chance and remember it's just a gotcha game
An unhealthy and toxic way to react to CYL8 results:
Whatever this is
Tokutwitter spent all of Revice making fun of Hikaru for being a simp then Kyunn comes along who is both a Tsundere and simp, and he actually ends up getting girl 😭
Gaim has overt Christian imagery and themes so this is nothing new but Geats is near verbatim quoting religious scripture and Bible passages here. This along with the recurring message of Geats gathering followers makes me curious why Takahashi decided to invoke Christian subtext
While the push to officially expand Tokusatsu is a slow and difficult endeavor, dubs 100% need to start becoming a part of the conversation. Shin Ultraman is undeniable proof they not only work, but are a necessary aspect for reaching a wider audience and providing accessibility
*deep breath*
KAMEN RIDER DRAGON KNIGHT ONLY FAILED BECAUSE THE CW DIDNT PROMOTE IT, SHOVED IT INTO A TIMESLOT NOBODY WAS WATCHING, CHANGED AROUND THE SCHEDULE WITH NO NOTICE, AND STOPPED AIRING IT ENTIRELY. IF THE NETWORK CARED IT WOULD'VE BEEN AN INSTANT SUCESS LEADING TO MORE
I'm curious why overfocusing on the originals seems to be solely an American issue. Doctor Who or Super Sentai among others acknowledge their roots but never prioritize it. In contrast Transformers, Power Rangers, TMNT, etc. are practically defined by catering to the first gen
It's a rather small thing, but I love how Buffa doesn't dismiss or invalidate their wishes. Rather he tells them the harsh reality they have fight if they want it. He's very hard on them, and ultimately still wants to end up the winner, but its nice to see a different side to him
A lot of the PR fandom heavily mocked JDF online. While it would be both inappropriate and disrespectful to blame the fandom directly we can still learn and grow. There is always a person behind the screen with their own life and struggles. Be respectful and considerate of others
Will Smith taught us that cancel culture really works but only if you're a black man who's act was slapping someone. On the other hand racism, sexual harassment, homophobia, transphobia, abelism etc will proceed to get you frequent work and even label you the victim of a hate mob
This has to be the absolute stupidest thing I have ever read. The sheer damage the multiverse concept has done as now you must tie everything back to it and make everything a multiverse concept. Moon Knight has DID and is a healthy representation of DID stop trying to erase that
Better Help is a scam and a fraudulent service. Many of the "therapists" are not professionals and even go as far as stealing credentials or impersonation to pass off as legit. They sell user data, have nonexistent privacy, and will not provide the help that you are looking for.
once again really, really begging YouTubers and podcasters who are considering sponsorships with Better Help to look up the horror stories people — both therapists and clients — have from trusting that company and look at how they sell patient data
Better help is bad news
Tbh I think the biggest issue with Hasbro and PR is that they're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Hasbro sees PR the same as other properties like TMNT, Transformers, etc, where they can constantly reboot and cater to nostalgia. That approach doesn't work well for PR
I'm glad Power Rangers isn't mainstream so we don't have to deal with a horde of YouTube rants about how the franchise went woke or fell to the SJW agenda. Power Rangers Facebook already has enough of those people as is lmao
This is a terrible statement. Its insulting to the hard work of the cast and production team. Besides Batgirl was canceled solely to save money as a tax write off it had nothing at all to do the quality of the film. There wasn't anything courageous about it and it deserved better
Peter Safran says ‘BATGIRL’ “was not releasable. I actually think that David Zaslav and the team made a very bold and courageous decision to cancel it because it would have hurt DC.”
See the full DCU slate:
Sentai actors showing love and respect for their Power Rangers counterpart actor will always be the greatest thing. This shouldn't need to be said, but he's incredible standing up for Andrew like that
The BoonBoonger suits getting leaked just proves
A. Why people who actually get this info don't share it aside from teases and descriptions. "Small accounts" complaining will instantly jump on a chance to post for clout
B. Why Matt Hunt blocked so much of the fandom years ago
I don't even go here, but how can anyone really say Zenkaiger isn't a good anniversary season. You don't always need returning actors it's just stuff like this that shows the care for the franchise and its history. It's got heart to it and the little details make it even better
I feel like a lot of people disappointed with this set themselves up by expecting too much. It was kinda obvious it'd just be a basic repainted Dino Fury suit. Cosmic Fury was not fully planned back when they shot this so it was made specifically for the episode
#DinoFurySpoilers
I previously wanted Fuuto PI to get dubbed for accessibility purposes as well as my own preference for dubs. I now want Fuuto PI to get dubbed so that it'll upset whining toku fans and gatekeepers
It's fascinating to me how the Fuuto PI anime as well as the Zero-One comic have amplified toxic rider fans. You'd think more is better and we should celebrate these happening, but instead there's so much unnecessary arguing or gatekeeping anyone who discovers rider through them
No hate intended, but it's so funny to me that Tokullectibles still sells the Nadeshiko Driver for over $100 when it's been on Amazon for just slightly over $20 for several months now. Do they just not believe in lowering the price, or can they genuinely not afford to do that 😭
I am begging you please do not turn them into an official Rider until at least the 3rd quarter of Gotchard. It's been too long since we've had a proper pseudo rider who's stuck around 😭
Everyone has so busy arguing about Rita's gender and pronouns that there hasn't been nearly enough appreciation for how heavily neurodivergent coded they are. They present themselves as being serious and authoritative but in reality they're so silly and I love them for it.
Yes Dragon Knight exists and had a black Rider. Toei helped produce it, upload episodes to their official channel, has mentioned it officially, Japan loves it, etc. It is official. That being said stop bringing it up. Let people be happy and celebrate without trying to act better
While this is absolutely a huge win that should be acknowledged and celebrated, it's also important to recognize theres still much that needs to be done. This is non-binding which essentially means it doesn't affect Israel policies nor force them to do anything as of this moment.
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS TODAY? THE STATE OF IŠRAEL IS NOW OFFICIALLY CONSIDERED AN APARTHEID STATE!! THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS NOW OBLIGATED TO SANCTION AND ISOLATE IŞRAEL UNTIL THEY STOP COMMITTING GENOCIDE IN GAZA!!! THIS IS A BIG VICTORY!
Regardless of how you feel about JDF, it is never appropriate to make fun of depression or mental health struggles. Nobody is required to feel sad, mourn, or even acknowledge, but it is disgusting to mock his struggles. Either be respectful about his passing or simply stay quiet.
I just realized Na-Go only beat Da-Paan by 1,800 points. The penalty for attacking other players is losing 2000 points. That means had Da-Paan not attacked Mary in the last round then Na-Go still would've been last even after her using boost hammer to raise her score up.
This is very insulting because he's Jewish, yet presenting this picture without context makes him look like a neo-nazi. For those unaware this is from a flim where he portrayed an FBI agent who had to infiltrate a white supremacy group to uncover a terrorist plot. This is not him
Its sad how Kamala, Sam, and Miles ended up when they could've easily become the next-gen big 3 for Marvel. Sam faded into the background and mostly disappeared, Kamala died to get shoved into the X-Men, and Miles has struggled to be treated as equal to Peter by fans and writers
Blues Clues and You really is for the adults who grew up with the original just as much as it is for the current generation of children. This is a sweet and touching message, and it's honestly one that will resonate with so many people. I can honestly say I needed to hear this
Toku is a relatively small community compared to other fandoms, and that's especially true for content creators. There's so few tokusatsu focused creators we all pretty much know each other or talk in some way. If you shit talk another creator it's gonna come out I'm just saying
Okay I know it would not only be stupid and the worst idea ever, but I would honestly get some kind of sick sadistic pleasure if the toy actually ended up shredding the cards it read
Best redemption in toku easily. I don’t agree with the notion he's diminished by the shirt gags or the revelation that Pandora's box altered his personality. If anything I feel those aspects enhance his character and add layers to him
Kamen Rider Saber is on another level when it comes to post series content ngl. First it creates the best V-Cinema with Trio of Deep Sin, and now it makes a TTFC special that finally beats the incest allegations
It's so funny how people spent months trashing on Turning Red over this image then you actually watch the film and it fits the characters so naturally you barely even notice it. They're so much fun and their personalities work great together. I love this group
Do you ever stop and think about the fact we've reached the point where a secondary rider has their final form item as Premium Bandai? Technically Revice did it too but at least Evility Live was unplanned and last minute. We've known this would be Tycoons final for months now
Okay but when do we get the spinoff dedicated solely to Hikaru, Tamaki, and Hiromi struggling as roommates together because I would love that substantially more than whatever else is going on these last few episodes.
I think one aspect of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight that doesn't get talked about as much as it should is the way it handled representation. It had a black person as a rider (even if he admittedly deserved far more screentime), a rider with a disability, and a prominent female rider.
Tbh adaptation discourse in Power Rangers is dumb because we're talking about a franchise that turned digital technology into space, knights into military, racing into apocalypse, and combined angles/pirates into nothing. They can play it straight or go in a different direction
While I don't have any personal investment in the ship and question the dubious ages more than I should congrats to Sakura and Aguilera shippers. It's a big milestone too because while we've had coded characters before this appears to be the first canon instance in a main series
I love how this adds layers to Neon's mom beyond her being an abusive parent. She's scared of losing her daughter again. That fear causes her to be controlling, blinding her to how much she's hurting Neon. Looking forward to their relationship being further explored and developed
I love the framing of this regarding their suits and ideologies. Daiji has Holy Live an angel motif who fights for peace and safety despite what that costs. Ikki on the other hand has Giffard Rex and looks demonic embracing his inner demon with Giffu cells to fight for freedom
"Why aren't more anime or non toku fans talking about Fuuto PI"
This is exactly why. Most of these replies and qrts are so harsh on a 5 minute review from someone who knows nothing about Kamen Rider. This is how you push people away from watching. The gatekeeping is ridiculous
Ballin giveaways are finally back and we're starting things off with a big one. Kamen Rider Geats had 3 different Game Masters, and as such I'm going to be giving away 3 Vision Drivers. Best of luck to everyone who enters as this is a rather popular item
Hot Take(?): If Rider does expand in the west it should have a dub option. More than just English dub too. Dubs are very important for accessibility reasons, along with convenience. If youre not a fan of dubs you can simply not watch it but you shouldnt advocate for no dub at all
9 months later I have every Revice stamp that has been commercially released so far. 36 total Vistamps, 4 drivers, 1 weapon, and way too many premium bandai purchases. Already have the next set pre-ordered and only a few months left. Give me your worst Bandai I've come this far
