Last anime or cartoon you watched?

Nearing the end of The Legend of Korra. 'S cool.

#322

^Man. I liked 'Avatar' a ton, and so I was super-hyped for 'Korra', and I have to date watched not one second of it. Should get on that.

I don't like Avatar on the principal of it being one of those "Americanimes." However, the Legend of Korra video game looks undeniably fun to me so I may have to try it some time. What do you Avatar fans think of it?

#324

Maybe you should give 'Avatar' a fair shake. Judge it on its own merits rather than dismissing it entirely based on outside criteria. You might be pleasantly surprised, homey.

^ I'm sure there's quality aspects to it, but I will never ever get over the art.

#326

Fair enough. It's just...you know, it's got really good writing, and the fight scenes are hype. I think you'd enjoy it, is all.

I wouldn't call myself an Avatar fan (TV shows are very rarely my thing), but I've heard the game was buggy at launch, had framerate issues, and next to no enemy variety. Wasn't received terribly well.

Hm, thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I'll try it out. Thanks, Boo.

^ That is disappointing...

LET ME TELL YOU WHY SPEEDWAGON IS THE BEST CHARACTER IN PART 1

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · #333

^ No way. He is cool as hell but Jojo's honor is at Saiyan levels.

Btw, I am watching Future Diary. Weird but cool. Kinda Battle Royal-esque.

#334

I watched 'Jungle Book' again for the first time in ages.

...I love it. It's super good. Why can't modern Disney have fun monkey dance parties and marching elephants and them cockney vultures, cool baddies like Kaa and Shere Khan and all. Why isn't there anyone as fun as Baloo the bear or King Louie around. About as close as we got is Genie, and that's bittersweet at best nowadays.

I liked 'Frozen', and 'Big Hero 6', but they weren't fun like how 'Jungle Book' and 'Robin Hood' and, like, 'Great Mouse Detective', and even 'Aladdin' were. C'mon. Don't try to kid me, man-cub.

[EDIT: Incidentally, would King Louie be considered a villain? I'm interested in your opinions, other VGF guys. Like, clearly he's placed in a bit of an antagonistic role to Baloo and Bags. Bagheera refers to him as a scoundrel. But, like, the only kind-of-bad thing we see him do is send his monkey homies to abscond with Mowgs and bring him to the aforementioned awesome monkey dance party. Is that so wrong, guy.

Do tell. I got to part 2 (Battle Tendency) and I need to watch more.

Even better I'll dig up a tumblr post on why Speedwagon is beast

although it does have some spoilers for... parts 1-6, not too huge though, most of it is stuff that happens early and the rest (part 2 and 6) don't really say what the reason is

d0cpr0fess0r:
Yo okay real talk though. Speedwagon is the greatest force of good in the Jojo universe.

Robert Edward Orville Speedwagon was nothing more than an average criminal and thug who never had anything worth a damn in his life until he met Jonathan Joestar. Jonathan was the FIRST person in the world to ever show him an ounce of kindness and I’m not lying when I say that Jonathan not kicking him with his full strength completely changed his life.

When Speedwagon found oil in America, he used it to found the Speedwagon Foundation, which is, literally, THE only reason the Joestar line is capable of fighting evil. The Speedwagon Foundation hires and funds doctors, scientists, archaeologists, anything and everything to make the world a better place. After meeting the Joestar family, Speedwagon dedicated everything he could to saving the world. With the exception of the Pillar Men, every source of evil in parts 1-6 can be attributed to Dio in some way. However, every source of good comes from Speedwagon or the Speedwagon Foundation. Speedwagon is the reason Jonathan was able to reveal Dio’s plan. The SPW developed the infrared lights to keep the Pillar Men at bay. The SPW sent doctors to Holly’s house when she was under attack from her Stand, as well as providing the Stardust Crusaders with vehicles and Iggy. Jotaro became part of the SPW and used their resources to aid Josuke, and even get Giorno started on his journey. The SPW researched the Stand Discs and provided assistance to Jolyne while she was imprisoned.

And all of this is because Speedwagon willed it to be so. Because his will dictated that ALL efforts of the SPW should go toward aiding the Joestar line and improving the world.

Also despite being a charming and handsome individual he never once made a move on Erina because he knew that her and Jonathan’s love was eternal and he was a **** gentleman.

TLDR: Speedwagon was honored Jonathan didn't turn him into putty, joined him for his journey to help fight Dio, struck it rich when he moved to America, and used the funds to found the Speedwagon Foundation which pretty much rivals the Stands in terms of actually fighting evil.

also speedwagon was probably gay for jonathan as well

Pretty sure he's just meant to be perceived as an inconvenience in Jungle Book, misguided but not malicious.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^ Woah, that was my childhood we're talking about here. I even almost bought the game over Killer Instinct when I was a kid, which is crazy because everyone wanted KI.
