I wish I had the patience to draw, or at least bullshit some art together with Photoshop or something. Then I could set up a Patrion and make a living doing basically nothing.

ITT we bicker about the deep, complex laws of a story written by a senile old fucker who burned out ages ago

yeah, cuz you've never had an argument about something fictitious and unimportant.

It's okay when I do it.

Are there any good spacekino animemes? Particularly of the hard scifi angle

Capital ships slugging it out, power armoured space marines fighting off hordes of xeno scum, giant robots fighting tanks and so forth really gets my neurons firing

Gundam mecha shit need not apply

Many years ago back when I was little and watched DBZ everyday on Toonami, I got pissed and shunned DBZ because every time they got to the Kid Buu saga they put the show on Hiatus and kept restarting it from a previous season with the final straw for me being when they restarted the series after the restarted from the World Tournament saga and then restarted from the beginning of the Cell saga. So I never got to finish DBZ despite being at the very end, I recently got all nine seasons on DVD and the first thing I did was picked up where I left off fourteen years ago.

All this talk about Dragonball reminds me that I've never finished the Buu saga or started the new Super series.

Toonami knew where DBZ should have ended.

People keep complaining about the power scaling, so let me explain my point of view a bit.
Basically, SS2 and SS3 are completely redundant forms now. They offer less potential power as well as less control than SSB. So it makes sense that he almost never uses them.
Forms are about control and the max potential/power of a form. Goku's intent isn't to kill his opponent, which is why he's probably avoiding SS2 and SS3 forms. They just have more power than control. It's difficult to show restraint in those forms.
Base form has the most control, but the least power. SS1 is a significant power boost, but has less control than base form. It's a form induced by rage, after all. After training for the Cell Games it's been witnessed that Goku has perfected the form's control.
SS2 and especially SS3 are hard to control. Goku even admitted that in DBZ. It's difficult to have restraint when the entire form is based on rage and aggression.
SSB is all about control, probably about the same level as base form. It doesn't require a high power output like SS2 or SS3 does, while also having higher potential than any other form. He can easily use 1% of his power while SSB. Whereas in SS3 it's probably difficult to throw out less than 50% of the form's max power.
I doubt we'll see Goku use SS2 or SS3 in a fight unless he's intentionally pacing it extremely slow with a strong opponent who is also slowly revealing their power. There's just no reason to, especially since it consumes more energy to be in those forms than in SSB.
If you want to know if Goku's really putting out a large percentage of the form's power, just wait to see if he's out of breath after an attack. Dragon Ball has been really good about that indicator since the beginning.
An analogy for those that still don't grasp the concept:
Let's say you want to throw a ball. You can use your bare arms(base form Goku) and throw it anywhere from 0 to 20 meters. But that's a pretty short throw. So you get a stick to hit the ball(SS1 Goku). Now you can hit the ball from 0 to 50 meters, depending on how hard you hit the ball. Still pretty accurate for short distances, but when hitting it far there's a lot of variances.
But that's still not far enough for you, so you use a good and heavy baseball bat(SS2) and you can hit it 70 meters, but it gets harder to get precise hits if you're aiming for something like 24 meters.
Take it a step further, now you equip a sledge hammer(SS3). With all your force you can hit that ball over 100 meters, but it's nearly impossible for you to get that 24 meter shot and your precision is way off.
And finally, you're sick of being limited, so you design ball-launching artillery(SSB) that lets you calibrate and shoot the ball any distance you want from 0-1000 meters with extremely high accuracy.
DOES THAT MAKE MORE SENSE?

Let's take a moment to remember that all of the above was written solely because of the color of a fictional character's hair.

I agree. Millions vs billions. The math on this is clear

Fuck this logic

Look at it from his perspective. The people of the world put themselves in the situation. Neither would budge on their political beliefs. That refusal meant everything would die. He was touted as the smartest man alive and saw no other option than to force everyone to play nice and retain their free will.

Now, what I didn't get was why Manhattan didn't disappear all the nukes before they launched. He had that kind of power.

Manhattan sees the past and future as if they're happening now. He's bound to do whatever he sees himself do in the future because, from his perspective, it's already happened. He pretty much went "I won't get rid of the nukes because I know I didn't get rid of the nukes."

And keep in mind that there's no guarantee Veidt's plan worked or if nuclear war happened anyway. Since Rorschach's journal wound up published (and it's consistent with Ozymandias' code name), I'm inclined to go with the latter, but that's just me.

Honestly I don't see the movie to be about bad guys or villains, but clash of philosophies.

This. Watchmen is a commentary on the simplistic morality of the Silver Age, where there's good and bad and nothing in between, by presenting a morally gray situation with no clear right or wrong. Trying to finger any one character as the villain is missing the point.

>the movie though
the movie was ok

Doesn't measure up to the comic though.

It's left ambiguous if he was right or not. He doubts himself shortly after, and Dr. Manhattan implies he wasn't.

Unrelated but still interesting, Alan Moore was annoyed when he found out how popular Rorschach became. Seems some people missed the point completely.

Also, do you ever find a secondary weapon, or any weapons at all?

Ha.

Oh Chally, you have no idea what you're in for.
Are the weapons cool

Yeah.

Just don't forget to check out the weapon stories. You get another part of the story every time you upgrade a weapon, and each has a different story. They're interesting.
