#991312 The Great Naruto Discussion Thread

Posted by Derock on 26 August 2024 - 01:25 PM in Naruto General

 

And it's SO bad because of how other manga after Naruto ended are being seeing like that too! MHA had that same issue with its finale.

 

No Bryon, MHA didn't suffer the same fate as Naruto. The only reason why people assumed that because shipping fans were pissed off of the fact that Izuku didn't hook up with Ochaco (by ignoring hints, placements and BTS stuff on the reasons why they didn't happen) and the finale parts were rushed for "certain reasons that were beyond Horikoshi's control". MHA's saving grace was the themes of its story was still in place, unlike Naruto's.

Simple or not, the reading comprehension is STILL f-ed up because many fans and the people BTS complained about and for Hinata, as like she was really that important to the franchise. When we know in actuality, she wasn't.




#991279 The NEW NaruSaku Debate Thread

Well, there goes the true reason why Naruto felt pity for Hinata and they became a couple because Masashi SUDDENLY felt sorry for her. Wow.  :roll:

It's best to ditch the project and make a live-action series instead like One Piece.

wait, the IDW Sonic comics is canon?

 

Yep but it is considered loose and was stated when Frontiers came out in 2022.




#991250 The Great Naruto Discussion Thread

Posted by Derock on 28 July 2024 - 03:23 PM in Naruto General

The only comic books I officially read are Sonic the Hedgehog IDW series, as of now Sonic Team and SEGA considered the stories as canon to the games, although Frontiers and Superstars content hasn't shown yet, and UDON Capcom content, despite how inconsistent it is, especially with Street Fighter and Darkstalkers.  

 

Recently, I started reading other stuff. Right off the bat, I enjoyed the recent John Stewart Green Lantern comics from DC. On the Marvel side, I'm currently reading the Spider-Men (Peter and Miles), Miles' own comic, and some selected X-Men, like Kwannon as Psylocke II. I'm definitely going to read the upcoming new X-Men that has Rogue as the leader along with Gambit, Wolverine, Jubilee and Nightcrawler as her teammates. Disney released a semi-sequel comics for Hercules and I'm liking the story so far. 

 

And now, TMNT is definitely getting traction and I'm hearing the spin-off, The Last Ronin, which has:

The Last Ronin synopsis
announced that there will be a video game and a possible TV/Film adaptions.

 

But, I can understand many people are not reading regular comic books nowadays because everything would either changed, retcon or get very weird.

It's Part 1 Naruto and crew with IDW version of TMNT, along with April, Splinter, Shredder and the Foot Clan. This crossover looks VERY interesting.

This isn't an official project, is it? It looks to me like a fan project...

 

Nope, it is official. IDW is promoting it.

Makes sense, though I hope no boruto characters

 

I don't think any Boruto stuff will be present because Naruto is showing in the Part 1 era on the cover.




#991213 Rurouni Kenshin anime is Returning

Posted by Derock on 06 July 2024 - 11:09 PM in Otaku Square

So, last week, I found out Crunchyroll/Aniplex released the dubbed version of the reboot. However, they didn't even announce the English cast until the last minute due to the issue of Watsuki's "case". 

 

So far, everything is paced and nicely animated with some 3D elements. I like Kenshin's new VA.

 

Season 2 (subbed) is coming out this October.

Just letting you know, the finale is coming close and the final battle just finished. I'm holding my breath for the ships though (and I let you guys know, if it plays out, many of you may not like it).

#991072 Disney Mirrorverse: Belle Manga

Posted by Derock on 05 May 2024 - 03:27 AM in Otaku Square

So, you guys are probably wondering, "Derock, why the hell are you posting a Disney topic in the Otaku Square?!" Hold on, just a second! This is about a spin-off that release an one-shot manga book and it is an alternative story and universe of Beauty and the Beast. Just to give you guys a heads up, this is not related to Kingdom Hearts!

 

And you guys are probably asking me, "What is Disney Mirrorverse?"

 

Disney Mirrorverse is an Action RPG mobile game (yeah, I know but hear me out!) came out in 2022 developed by Kabam Games, which starred various Disney and Pixar characters into an alternate/distorted universe where various heroes and villains having access to stellar magic that boosted up and amplify their abilities or for some heroes that I will provide examples, evolved and giving them new abilities. The premise is that the Mirrorverse was created by two stars or mirrors, one's light: the Stellar Mirror, and one's dark: the Dark Mirror. These mirrors created the universe that is "familiar, yet different". With that magic, it created distorted version of the Disney and Pixar universes. Mickey Mouse was reached out by the Stellar Mirror and became the first Guardian. He then recruited others characters in different worlds to become Guardians so they can access the stellar magic. The Dark Mirror was discovered by Jafar who had shattered it and overused its power. He lost it and it was later discovered by Maleficent, who used the mirror to created the Fractured, mirrored versions of characters whom has no free will and only crave for destruction. She sent them to destroy the Stellar Mirror which forces Mickey to summon the other Guardians to defend it. 

 

In the game and its updates, it is not just the normal Disney heroes, heroines and villains that were known to fight. As I said, we have some characters that were upgraded, like certain Disney Princesses: Snow White (who now can fight with a battle axe and she has her own novel on how she became a Guardian), Tiana (who is a healer and chemist, also appeared in Snow White's novel) and Belle, in which I would talk about in a moment. Then we have unexpected characters: Disney live-action movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean (Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann) and Jungle Cruise (Frank Wolff), characters that we didn't even know they can fight such as Dory from Finding Nemo, in which she's in a robotic, mobilized fish tank, Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, Baloo (not the Jungle Book version BUT the TaleSpin version) and we have Kermit, YES Kermit the Frog from The Muppets!

 

This manga is the prequel of how Belle became a Guardian. This version of Belle is not just an Action Girl but an Action Mage!

 

So, let me give you guys a summary:

 

Mirrorverse Belle

 

So, yeah that's the whole manga. No more, no less. I liked this alternate Belle is more snippy and sarcastic to Gaston. However, she is like her original self but more inciteful and resourceful. She had a dream come true of being part of an adventure that she always read about. We also see Adam/Beast more remorseful when trying to save his castle staff from the curse. And he's a bit more Tsundere at the end. So, despite some scenes skipped some stuff, it is a good read.




#990991 The Great Naruto Discussion Thread

Posted by Derock on 14 March 2024 - 11:18 PM in Naruto General

The Hinata heartbroken bit, that can be solved easily: have Naruto being honest with her in a private conversation, he is not interested in her romantically. It can benefit her to move on and find someone to be with her. She was never important in the first place. It was her fans (and some inside help) that were pushing her which resulted on how the franchise ended up now.
