I've been obsessing over what could have been Imu's real form only to be given post-corruption Jasper from Steven Universe...
BUT this isn't a complain, it's actually very on-brand of Oda and considering that Imu probably (most likely in mind) isn't the final villain.
I just find it a little funny
The whole point of power levels in Dragon Ball is that they are wrong and stupid and an expression of an evil mind.
They are introduced in the Saiyan saga with Raditz, representing the true intrusion of sci-fi into the general fantasy vibe of the series. DB always had tech elements, but this is when shit gets space and biotechy for a long time until the Boo saga.
Anyway, Raditz reads power levels and he's like "okay this immutable number means I'm stronger and I win" but then whoops turns out the Dragon Ball protagonists cannot be quantified because their power is not a scientific measure, it is an expression of their passion, heart, determination; their heroic qualities. Get Special Beam Cannon'd about it, idiot.
Second verse same as the first, Vegeta shows up and he's like "blah blah superior elite Saiyan warrior, Kakarot" and now power levels are an expression of a repressive hierarchical class system that proscribes inferiority and superiority, a genetic destiny that can never be overcome.
But oops turns out Dragon Ball protagonists cannot be quantified etc, and also class hierarchies are bullshit, get Kaioken'd about it, loser!
Third verse: Namek Saga. Frieza's intergalactic empire runs on hierarchical oppression codified in power levels, and in Vegeta's confrontation with Kiwi, Kiwi is confident that Vegeta is not a real threat because they have the same power level of 10.000. But oops Vegeta has been to earth and he has been touched by the fantasy, and now it turns out he is a protagonist who cannot be quantified, get energy blasted about it, numbnuts.
This is also how Vegeta begins to transition from villain into a heroic figure: he begins to give up on obsessing over quantified power levels and embraces his passions, heart, determination as sources of his strength.
Anyway yadda yadda Frieza is space Napoleon-Hitler, etc etc avatar of inherent superiority and hierarchy encoded in power level, blah blah get Super Saiyan'd about it, dipshit.
The Super Saiyan is a power that is accessed by deeply caring, it is a power of myth and legends, it is fantasy overcoming and destroying sci-fi, as literalised by the progressive destruction of quantifiable "power levels" as a construct.
So the story is saying:
Power levels are dumb bullshit invented by evil minded people to enforce shitty hierarchies. They suck and everyone who believes in them sucks and trying to measure the power of a hero with a number is an attempt to destroy fantasy as a genre.
...
On an entirely unrelated note, huge portions of the anime community are obsessed with measuring the power of heroes with numbers.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IF YOU HATE THE NEW UPDATE REBLOG THIS POST
[ PT; please for the love of god if you hate the new update reblog this post ]
I am organizing a lights out protest on tumblr, from March 20th 6AM UTC until March 21st 6AM UTC. It is best if as many tumblr users as possible can join this protest, as a mass downtime in users is the only way the tumblr staff will listen to us.
If you cherish this hellsite, participate. Do your bit. Every person counts.
Thank you for reading, and to @staff @changes: give us our tumblr back, or the people will migrate somewhere else. This is a threat.
Alexa play "Waterloo" by ABBA because that book on the shelf is actually repeating itself.
Game of Thrones really did become the standard for tv/streaming shows.
EXCEPT "A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS" THANK YOU IRA
So far I've heard that KATTDO is just so Djo coded so 5sos coded so Twenty One Pilots coded
and somehow also corporate pop.
And so I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, it's just KATTDO.
Some seem to get so surprised when music of similar genres has similar sounds...
(and mad when it isn't what they wanted).
The Odyssey except it's set in Nolanland
(because, according to people arguing in favour of this film, Greece isn't real)
Just because a mythological epic is fictional doesn't mean it has no historical, societal and cultural importance for the people that created it.
It's completely normal for Greeks to have opinions on this film and it is absolutely valid when they're negative.
I find it funny when people claim to be woke yet refuse the most basic respect to those who have every right to be upset when some big director with a big ego butchers a part of their culture.

Bran Stark represents a more lore-accurate version of Eren Yeager, had the series successfully portrayed that arc.
We had Eren telling his dad to get up and kill the Reiss family when we could have had Bran trying to get Aerys to do something and setting him up to "Burn them all"....
Every time I hear Zak Brown open his mouth I wish somebody would just shove a papaya so far up his ass he starts spitting out the seeds.
Because wtf was happening at that party... (and the whole season too)
Every time I think McLaren can't go any lower they take the shovels out and prove me wrong.
I posted that before the Qatar GP and during the race instead of shovels they brought out the drills they use for metro tunnels.
