Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

Word's going around that Sega's working on a Streets of Rage movie.

Whatever direction the story goes, however they block out the fight scenes, the soundtrack is already good to go, whether they want to use Yuzo Koshiro's tracks or just go full 90s house.

The funny thing is that there is actually a movie called Streets of Rage that came out in 1994 but has nothing to do with Sega's game. entirely different thing.

I'm intereted, but I'd need to know more to decide if I'd play

I guess posting a discussion thread would be worth it. I just posted a discussion thread, curious as to the response it receives.

So occasionally I dip my toe into some summaries of current comics.

The Avengers line-up just changed.

New line-up, ignoring Cap and Nighthawk, apparently includes Blade, Man-Thing, Iron Man, Thor, Valkyrie, Captain Marvel, Namor, Star Brand and Echo as the current Phoenix host.

And they’re going off to fight the Serpent Society.

Bwah. Bwahaha. Bwahahahahahahahahaaaaaa…

With Thor, Star-Brand and a Phoenix, they still might lose.

So I just read a major spoiler for Black Clover.

spoilers:

Wizard King Julius was a villain this whole time. Turns out Julius is actually Lucius Zogratis, the 4th Zogratis.

One Piece: spoilers:

Oda has apparently said that it would be too predictable if Kaido was defeated with just a big punch and that he'll do something different. So I'm wondering what Ruffy is actually aiming for here.

My Hero Academia: spoilers:

The heat Dabi generates can melt solid statues as a side effect. Shoto can withstand that heat and getting smashed around a lot. Very cool. Even cooler is calling out Dabi for letting his grudge spill out and hurt people not involved in it

Black Clover: Oh shit, that is a one major plot twist right before a break.

This is definitely in my top 100 of best Anime EDs.

spoilers:

But then what will he do to defeat Kaido, considering that Luffy doesn't have much in his toolbox beyond 'hit it until he wins'.

Right. And though it may be what happens almost every time, it is pretty much allways extremely satisfying when Luffy lands the final blow on his opponent. I don't know, maybe it's a misquote or fake quote or something. Or the punch just destroys Onigashima and he finishes off Kaido with a wrestling move. We'll see.

And speaking of One Piece, the latest episode (1015) is absolutely gorgeous! One of the best animated single episodes I've seen in ages, and it goes a great way in giving Yamato more characterization as well as giving his connection to Ace some further depth.

Yay for new Kill Six Billion Demons all the time. Boo for character not explaining the pain scale. Doctors NEVER do that, and then get erroneous results because everyone interprets it subjectively.

I used to think that 'Pain Level 8-10 is I Am Dying From My Pain' and as such, never used those numbers. No, that's like...10. I also used to think 'I can't do stuff, but I walk around okay, so I guess what, a five?' Nope, that's six to seven.

Public service announcement.

Don't lowball your pain when speaking to the doctor, it just means they're more likely to dismiss your problems.
