Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

also learned today that hugh keays-bryne, who play both toecutter and immortan joe, has passed.
Alright, I said I'd do it, so here we go.
There's 23 days remaining till Christmas, but the carols insist this holiday runs for 12 days. Therefore for arbitrary reasons I'mma halve that and open 6 slots for character drawings.
In the interests of time - we're going full-body this time - the result will be a bit less polished than the last bunch, and will be somewhat rougher than this piece.
(Shoutouts to KingofPie, Cleric, DBM and Sasheem)
If you want, write-in here - or DM me - some information about your original characters:
- General appearance notes, including visual aids if possible
- Some character notes and history
- And we'll just kinda see what happens

Likewise interested Gen, but I did have one in the last round so I'll only take a slot if there's a spare one after a while.
I'll leave it like 36 hours or so before committing.
This...could take a while.
I mean, standouts would be the gang leaders, Kohaku, and the Amamiya brothers. After that, Yamato.
Hmmm...not sure I could. I mean, I could get a cat in blue plaid or something like that for Murayama, but it wouldn't encompass his personality. Same with the others. Whereas a lot of Rocky's immediate recognition DOES come from how he dresses (dude does have a personality, but his dress-style is more 'standout' than the other leaders).
Anything I could find on the others would be ridiculously basic, like...okay, here's two.
Hiroto.jpg
Hiroto Amamiya.
Kohaku.jpg
Kohaku.
I think the Kohaku one is somewhat correct, other than the wire-wrapped baseball bat - has the right...I don't know, how the cat holds itself kinda works for Kohaku, as well as its 'stare'. But it would have been better to get a cat with different coloured eyes (this happens a lot with cats). The Hiroto one is just 'sunglasses that kinda match, leather jacket', which doesn't capture the character, really.
Beadle hit the nail on the head. She was a ridiculous cliché as Elektra, exaggerated to eye-rolling levels. She basically ruined every scene she was in, and down-graded Season II of Daredevil from 'Best Season Ever' (first half) to 'Worst Season Ever' (factoring in Post-Elektra-Arrival in the season). She seriously damaged the last half of The Defenders with her presence, whereas in the first half, having her being a confused, manipulated super-weapon undergoing some emotional issues was actually interesting.
I will never forgive.

Why are we here?
"Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
Rewatching High&Low The Movie and...I don't know why but watching the final fight amused me in the choice of music.
Like you think Mugen Road being played in the background would mean some heroic second wind for Cobra, Yamato, and Tsukumo as Kohaku basically beat them up rather handily...And nah, despite getting some hits it doesn't do much.
...Then I remember Kohaku was the leader of Mugen (or at least the most authoritative figure given it was intially made between friends) ...So Mugen Road may as well be his kick ass song and it shows.
Can't argue with that...Mugen Road is awesome.
