It is kind of funny (not really) how the Democrats campaigned for months on their being America's only hope to resist the new Hitler, only to immediately roll over for Donald Trump and claim that constitutional norms will stop him. You already tried that! You tried that for four fucking years! It didn't work! Why are you people so fucking stupid!?!

You haven't lived until you've seen the body horror of Luke Skywalker traumatically turning into a giant cockroach in "The Guyver."

I'm sorry but I will never ever use goon as slang for a guy who jacks off a lot or whatever it apparently means now. A goon is a guy in a clown mask and purple tank top who sees a caped crusader swooping down to beat up him and his buddies and yells "IT'S DA FREAKIN' BAT!" and I will accept nothing else.

i plan to refine this but it's kind of funnier in sketch form

Dragon Ball fans really gotta learn what a 'retcon' is because Supreme Kai having a name that isn't 'Shin' (as in, Kaioshin) isn't a retcon. That's just new information. Also information that makes sense considering every other Kai has a name that's an old-timey Japanese verb.

It's the same deal with the Potara earrings- just because there are different ways for people to unfuse doesn't mean that the other methods are being retconned. It's just new ways for them to justify ending the fusion.

It’s cool to see Shin have some time in the spotlight to fight off goons. It made for a good reminder that he has always been a capable fighter, just not to the degree as Goku and the others.

I’m looking forward to seeing Goku fight a Tamagami as much as he is.

Anyway I already loved Daima and would've been okay with the whole "everyone is as strong as / stronger than Goku bc else there would be no story" thing these sequels do. Especially since he's been debuffed and the demon realm also slows and weighs him down, so at least there is *some* attempt to suspend my disbelief on the matter. But after spending 7 episodes seeing Goku wipe the floor with every single enemy, and him OWNING Glorio after going SSj, my appreciation went through the roof. This is one of the things I love about the OG DB that I really missed in subsequent parts - the fact that not all encounters are this grand threat, that you can see Goku be vastly superior to certain opponents, as the fights that are Actually a challenge for him are made even more enticing as a result.

Not only that, but this also really piques my interest as to what Gomah, Degesu and Arinsu can actually do. They can't beat the Tamagami, and we might surmise Arinsu is banking on Goku to do it for her so she can gaslight gatekeep girlboss the DBs out of the gang. This already tells us Goku is, at least on paper and through sheer strength alone, more powerful than them, doubly so if we were to add pothara / metamoru / bug fusion into the mix. So why, then, are they a threat? Gomah and Degesu can't even kill Dende, as they need him to make them their own DBs, which means they don't have any real leverage over the Z fighters... And even if they did kill him, the Namekusei Dragon Balls are still there. And then there's Arinsu, who's using Glorio as a spy, but we can probably guess he'll turn on her after the collar setup with Shin and she won't be able to snatch the balls from the team quite so easily. That is, unless the three can do something interesting that gives them an advantage. And I genuinely can't wait to see what that is.

I think there's something very frustrating about how so many activist events, like the haka in the New Zealand parliament, are brushed off as spontaneous acts of passion instead of carefully planned and coordinated efforts. I see it a lot of with indigenous activists especially, and it feels like a lot of people lean on that idea because they like the romantic idea of activism being spontaneous passion but it's incredibly infantalizing to ignore the efforts that these activists and protestors and politicians put into making these things happen, making their voices heard and preparing their communities and allies to stand as a united front when it's time.
