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.

Digimon(especially adventure canons) and (current) Pokemon anime chickening out over having any Superpowered beings that aren't it's titular creatures sets them apart from even other Mons series
whatever Scientists tells us what they believes are the only things that exists in Reality(our world), they treats what US government and mainstream news media said about things like 9/11, CO2 Emissions, and so on as their gospel

calling Real Life Martial Artists that can break walls "Comic Book Peak Human" is like calling Pre-new52!Cassandra Cain "Shounen Manga character"
It means to have faith in and respect for one's deck.
That's because only the protagonists truly respect and believe in their decks. The antagonists view their decks as nothing but tools.Originally Posted by The Dog
It's a bit like the idea of viewing a sword as if it were a part of you rather than a separate object.

You do know there was a Swamp Thing cartoon right?

That version of Arcane may not be the horror his comic counterpart is but he's still a villain. He still turns people into mutant monsters.

Understandable but I think Captain America said it best when someone asked him if he had a name for his shield. He replied "do you give a name to your right arm?"
I assume you consider your arm to be more important to you than a replaceable object. I can see the logic in attaching that same degree of importance to a weapon that your life may depend on.
I get why Cap said it - it's an interesting character quirk.
Myself, I consider my arm to be different than a weapon which, in essence, is a tool. I can replace (as you say) a tool. And it's not part of me. Not going to go naming it, or ascribing properties or importance to it beyond what it is, myself.
But mileage, etc. As I said, I never went for that myself. ^_^ I understand that a lot of people do.
Yu-gi-oh, I take it, runs in a world where there's some kind of spiritual aspect to this sort of thing, and there clearly is an effect of treating your deck of cards like something worthy of respect and so forth. So that's understandable.

Why did CW Green Arrow keep his team around anyway? They weren't exactly loyal and, tbh, I'm pretty sure they didn't like each other all that much.

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ Know them. Follow them. Love them.
Because the script said so. That, or they were all masochistic/sadistic people who enjoy tormenting and being tormented by the others.
Of course, I asked a similar question about Izuku and Bakugou from MHA. But then I realized that Izuku does so because a life of being bullied by everyone around him has left him with a severely skewed perception of what a "friend" is, as well as a severe lack of self-esteem and a non-romantic form of battered wife syndrome in regards to Bakugou.

Ah yes, the issue with Izuku having little to no resentment towards his childhood tormentor while said bully remains largely unchanged, until recently when he's acknowledged that he was being an asshole because Izuku's drive to succeed despite having no apparenty physical ability to do so intimidated Bakugou.
Baby steps I guess.
I don't mind Deku being chill with him. It's problematic and really weird but I can rationalise it as logical.
What I don't get is Bakugou being an arse to everyone else and everyone, including the teachers being like "Oh Bakugou, you little scamp,"
It just makes everything feel off.
The real reason is that Bakugou is popular with Fujo so much that Horikoshi can't write him off. I think the same can be said with Naruto and Sasuke too. Sasuke treats Naruto like shit, but Naruto still keep chasing him because Sasuke is one of the reasons that the book sells and the author or editor doesn't write him off the book.
Popularity has nothing to do with how the characters are written. Horikoshi likes Bakugou and has made him and his relationship to Deku important to the story from the get go, but he has also acknowledge that a lot of fans who just hate Bakugou for the bullying he put Deku through and his general attitude. So he's taking that into account, like most recently having Bakugou acknowledge that he treated Deku poorly.
Same with Kishimoto, he liked Sasuke and he was always going to be important to the story and have a big part to play.
This is an incredibly weird take you have here.
Ah yes, the only reason they structured the entire story of Naruto around the dynamic and relationship between Naruto and Sasuke and their respective responses to the legacy and politics of their world is because oops Sasuke is popular so they couldn't write him out even though they obviously wanted to because he's mean and authors don't really want to write about mean characters.
What do you think the story of Naruto even is?
