#favorite animated fight scenes

[sillygoblinantics]

I can answer this better

This isn’t all the fight scenes in animation like this is just a sprinkling of sand out of the who beachside that is animated fight scenes! Because if I did this would be a never ending post!

And I know… there’s a lot of wolves on this list…

if there could be like your dream scene or moment in ninjago (whether changing a pre-existing one or adding one), something that you desperately would want to happen - what would it be?

oh man that's. such a hard question because i'd do so much HGKJDFSHKJGFHDKJG

i think if i had to pick ONE specific scene, it'd be the one in seabound where jay launches himself at kalmaar for hurting nya

first things first, i know why jay wasn't able to absolutely Kick Ass in this moment - he had just recovered from dry drowning and could barely STAND just a minute ago, but he was so furious and full of adrenaline that he just acted. and immediately got his ass handed to him

makes sense. it's impressive he was even able to do THAT and hold off kalmaar as long as he did before benthomaar stepped in. BUT. YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT WHEN JAY STANDS UP

WOJIRA'S LIGHTNING FLASHES BEHIND HIM

so what i would PERSONALLY change here is that the lightning strikes jay and gives him a boost. so he's able to use wojira's own power to fight her handler. idk i just think that'd be really fuckin cool and i wanted it to happen soooo bad so if i could personally change ONE scene in ninjago it'd be this one

seven favorite levi scenes to count down to his birthday -> 7/7

yes FFVII advent children/complete is an objectively silly film but it’s also so Very Very Earnest and where else am I gonna see the main character overcome his depression through sick anime sword fights and also have his friends honestly but affectionately tell him that he also kinda sucks and he needs to shut up and see how loved he is.

i love the idea of aki being really strong without seeming like it especially because of his uniform. manhandling or carrying someone with ease and not breaking a sweat. you never really pay too much attention to it until he rolls up his sleeves and you see his forearms or hands. im drooling.

he definitely doesn't look like it. even when he's out of uniform, he's on the leaner side, he isn't crazy muscular. but aki is a lot stronger than he appears, much more than anyone gives him credit for.

dont forget that he regularly beats up guys from division 2 in boxing matches without even trying... he's really quite tough....

okay so like. theres a part of me that wants to say smth like 'after all his promises and morals, vash just kills knives? whats the point then!' but. ive been left FLOORED and still think its really good so lets think about this some more. like its not unsatisfying at all; let me figure out why. this might get a little stream of consciousness

i think the penultimate episode where vash struggles to come to terms with having killed legato is crucial here. he comes into the episode shaken; no one has the right to take the life of another, regardless of what they do, he's stopped living up to rem's ideals, he's killed a man and even though legato was a killer, even though milly and meryl and the townspeople would have died if vash hadnt killed him, theres smth in vash thats screaming out that its NOT RIGHT. that its a mistake. but then vash ackowledges that, and its through making the mistake that he finds his peace with what he's done; everyone makes mistakes, and as long as you keep trying to do better next time, youre still okay. and like.... that on its OWN still doesnt sit right w vash killing knives, but hold on! theres another layer

because whats REALLY important here i think is that vash is acknowledging that hes ALLOWED to make a mistake. and i think something much much deeper clicks here; this is the point where vash shifts from 'plant/superior being who preaches kindness, can always find another way out, and refuses to break his morals' to 'human who can and does make mistakes, and isnt any better than anyone else.' for as much as vash loves humanity and has tried to live among them, theres been heavy themes that hes NOT one of them throughout the show, even before its more explicitly revealed. humanoid typhoon. angel. plant. act of god. knives is so clearly out of touch with humanity, and embraces it, but vash is just as bad; hes just trying to pretend hes human. half his smiles are fake. his haircut is one rem gave him. one of his arms is a prosthetic and the other turns into a plant gun that destroys cities overnight and puts a hole in the moon. he doesnt BELONG.... until he does!

going back a step further here. wolfwood is absolutely crucial. he's an ideal example of the worst kind of human (and theres some deep heavy symbolism of him being a priest, the ambassador to a higher existence that speaks with the angels on behalf of humanity), he has killed time and again, he shoots a child to protect his own. vash cant understand him, until after he's already dead and vash has to shoot legato. wolfwood was a crutch for him, making the hard choices so that vash didnt have to, but he also becomes the model that vash follows, because even after everything else, vash FORGIVES him. vash recognizes that wolfwood was following his own morals, protecting his own people, and was able to grow and change and love in ways that prove that he was still, to the end, a good person. and if vash can offer that forgiveness and salvation to wolfwood without question, then it follows that he can offer it to himself, as soon as he stops acting like he should somehow be better than the rest of humanity

and all that on its own, with just the death of legato, is a very very good arc. so why does vash still need to kill knives afterwards? well..... because trigun is also a story about abuse. its about brothers who love each other so so much, but one of them uses that love to convince the other that the two of them are special, that the whole world besides them should die, that if vash would just sit tight and LISTEN to him then everything would be okay. a brother who cries like a child when vash dares to rebel against him, who insists vash is a fool playing games for leaving him and trying to save everyone else. vash spends the series following rem's final command: take care of knives. he cant kill knives, cant even hurt him, cant do anything to stop him when knives has been wiping towns off the map, because deep down knives MUST be good, there MUST be something worth saving, and vash is the Only One Who Can Stop Him. who can protect him. who can take care of him. and thats.... vash's way of seeing himself as the special little boy, the protagonist of the story, the Superior Being he keeps pretending he isnt. so OF COURSE when vash acknowledges his humanity and the fact that he just... cant do everything, hes able to see that actually, he cant fix knives. maybe no one can. and even if someone could, it would be a long time of people hurting before it happened. and vash can do something now to save those people and free himself from the cycle of abuse, so he does

and man. fuck. the shows been telling us from the beginning that vash is just some guy. we spend four or five episodes with no confirmation that he actually IS vash the stampede. he acts like a side character in his own story. its only when meryl starts to believe he's someone special that the audience starts to see it, and fittingly, its meryl speaking in his defense with the words 'no one has the right to kill anyone else,' as if shed say the same thing about anyone else, as if its not just that its VASH that drives her to defend him; thats when vash's humanity becomes real

anyway good show

The Naruto Vs. Sasuke fight at the end of Part 1 of the Naruto manga & anime is actually my favorite fight scene in all of fictional media!

Like, I was so deeply invested in Naruto's determination to save Sasuke from descending into darkness as he legitimately saw him as a brother due to their similar pasts, just much emotional turmoil there was through the escalation of their battle, and I was absolutely devastated & heartbroken when Naruto ultimately lost that fight.

It's basically the Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan duel from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith but dialed up to 11 IMO!

Another thing I always loved about the Naruto Vs. Sasuke fight was just the setting! Like, the Final Valley as a location is just oozing with symbolism and weight, that it's just the perfect setting for their duel!
