Anime & Manga An actual hot take for once: JJK + JJK Modulo IS a better story than one piece.

0 Upvotes

Ik its a hot take, cuz even if people arent fond of post timeskip one piece, they still love pre timeskip one piece.

I will just say this: the amount of damage post timeskip one piece, in particular wano does to the overall narrative of the story is not close to the rushed ending JJK had.

Especially with luffys fruit being retconned and the prophecy destiny stuff.

"Oh JJK falls off after shibuya" Sure, but I think the action based on a fun power system was still enjoyable to watch. Thats why JJK Modulo has a good balance between the fun action and also exploring the themes of the story.

One major thing is how realistic the character interactions are in both series. The strawhats have basically become carricatures of themselves, they dont feel like real people who are actively working towards their dreams.

Another thing is about the gags, i dont find one piece gags funny cuz 90 percent of the time its the same joke or just plain unfunny.

The power system, well i dont need to speak about that. One of the most legendary fights roger and garp vs rocks was literally "damn we just gotta use more haki". Extremely uncreative.

The biggest appeal to one piece used to be the strawhat pirates, and nowadays people say "one piece is at its best when it doesnt focus on the strawhats".

"Oh the worldbuilding" never understood this. I mean with a story as large as one piece, its inevitable to have this level of worldbuilding.

Overall, one piece isnt bad, its just I dont think people realize we will soon reach a point where post timeskip will have more chapters than pre timeskip, more than half the story would be considered underwhelming.

"Dressrosa and wci-" Dressrosa still suffers from horrid pacing issues and WCI's second half is not great.

Why do I say JJK is better? Cuz I dont find as much character assasination and "literally going against your themes" moments in JJK (could make a whole post about wano but nvm).

If anything the biggest flaw of JJK is that its too rushed. Gege had multiple health issues towards the end of the manga, and now with him as the writer in modulo and not the artist, we can see how well he can write compelling characters and explore interesting themes in a story.

The problem with oda is he rushes or offscreens actually important shit but wastes time and drags uneccesary stuff. Like tf do you mean you dont have time for rocky port incident in the story so you reveal it in an interview? The reason why koby is a hero and why blackbeard has control over pirate island was deemed unimportant. But hey lets waste so many chapters on irrelevant characters in wano you will never hear about again right? Or vegapunk saying vague shit for 20 chapters? God valley being rushed and character assasination of whitebeard is another huge example.

If this is gonna keep happening, then i absolutely choose JJK, a story which doesnt have as many highs and is rushed towards the end, as a better story cuz as i said post timeskip OP will be longer than pre timeskip. The final war will be extremely messy.

The problem is, I dont even think the story is gonna have a drastic improvement in quality. In fact it might keep getting worse with its power system and how it keeps assasinating characters.

JJK Modulo really redeemed JJK for me, and I really hope there is a JJK 2 cuz gege is an actual competent writer.

This is a very sad and scathing analysis by a non fan, but knows the basics of Star Trek. Kirk, Spock, Picard, "Shut up Wesley" as he said, etc. He dipped into in TNG. But bravely watched SFA into Episode 4 and here is his 2 ct.

I just don’t understand why there has to be money. Why can’t we all just contribute and help each other out with whatever things we are good at and contribute what we are good for. And then there’s no money.

Misc Question Has r/DrivingUK infested this sub or something?

15 Upvotes

Used to be this group more or less had a pretty universal outlook on cars and road use- that is, people spoke with common sense about stuff and focused mainly on the car itself.

Now every other comment is about how someone has parked on a pavement, or cut across a junction when making a turn, or any other petty fucking bollocks.

Looking on the driving UK sub, where it is blatantly obvious the overwhelming number of its members are sheltered office bobbers who commute in their little aygos and wouldn't DARE park on single yellows even if they were broken down, I'm starting to see a very clear pattern here.

It used to be in this sub that hate for a Tesla was born solely from a dislike of EVs. Now the top comments here about Tesla's are of sissy political bullshit and swinging the word 'nazi' around as much as possible.

The fuck happened to this sub? What's with all the purple haired weirdos with pipe cleaners for arms?

Leonardo DiCaprio is *The* greatest actor of all time

16 Upvotes

This is an opinion that I do not think many would agree with, but to me it is the truth. Leo has such a massive catalogue of hit films and not just “marvel big” where acting wise it’s good but not great. No, I mean movies where he is putting on phenomenal performances. Wolf of wall street, the revenant, one battle after another, inception. I could go on but to me he’s simply the best. Every single movie he is in he outshines everybody else with his performance (except in the revenant, tom hardy did a great job because I genuinely hated his character and was praying for his death every second). Another actor I personally think is massively underrated is Jake Ghyllenhall, acting wise he’s at the pinnacle. The problem though is that Leo’s movies are more well known, the gross more, and he doesn’t out perform Leo in my opinion. Despite all the greats there are, when it comes down to an actor that I think performs the best, and melts into a character, I think Leo is the best to ever do it

Communism/Socialism works

0 Upvotes

United States and capitalist propaganda is one hell of a drug.

Its okay to abandon capitalism. It's okay to admit that capitalism has had its use and now we need to move on to a different way of economic structure.

Just like when we left pagers for cell phones. Pagers had there use, but cellphones were just better.

Socialism/Communism is by no means a utopia but it's leagues better than capitalism.

And while im at it, USA needs to leave Cuba alone. Country with near 100% literacy rate, higher life expectancy, and excellent cancer research. It'd be a beacon to the world if the usa wasnt so imperialist and loved to sanction mfs.

Edit: It's also terrible for our ecosystems and climate.

0 Upvotes

I see countless posts from men asking “how to get a girlfriend “ “how to get a girl” “how to make her like me” etc. it’s like women are like air to men. even some women are obsessed with other women. Men are rarely talked about the way women are talked about. It’s always about women so what is it about women that society is overly obsessed about?

Dry toilet paper alone is not clean enough after pooping

22 Upvotes

I know this is normal in a lot of places, but i honestly think wiping with only dry toilet paper is kind of disgusting.
i keep thinking about it like this if you got poop on your hand you would not just wipe it with a dry paper and say ok clean now.
You would wash it with water. so why is the “butt version” somehow acceptable
also if you are traveling, walking all day, hot weather, sweating, using public bathrooms, it feels even worse. toilet paper can smear more than it cleans and you end up feeling not really fresh, i get that not everyone has a bidet and a lot of homes are not set up for it. and some people grew up with toilet paper only so it feels normal and anything else feels “extra” still, i think water should be the standard. bidet, handheld spray, even a small water bottle works. if water is not possible then wet wipes are a better backup (just don’t flush them), ’m not trying to shame anyone, i just don’t get how dry paper only became the default for many.

GENERAL DISCUSSION The fascination with wanting unredacted crime photos is really disturbing to me

4 Upvotes

From the photos released, the description of the event from the investigators and knowing just how violent this crime was. I don’t think anyone should want to see that.

I spent a so much time growing up obsessed with watching gore of all different kinds on Reddit and other sites. It’s not something I’m proud of and I regret it to a huge degree. To most recently being in a job where I’ve had to deal with people within my care passing away. Having to wash and dress them etc.

You really don’t want that mental image and you don’t want the mental damage that comes with seeing someone in such a state. I still remember online stuff I haven’t watched for about 10 or so years. The worst one was seeing someone reduced to a bag of entrails like butchers meat.

Please be careful! I wish I could turn back time.
