I was gone for a little while, but...I'm back.

Thoughts From The Corner Room • A podcast on Anchor

An Audio Show where I, Marcell Hines, ramble and rave about whatever happens to be on my mind that week. Comics, Professional Wrestling, Mov

So I recently turned 30, and I decided to do this thing. It's been on my mind for a while, and now I feel comfortable sharing it. I'd really appreciate if anyone would give it a listen and give your thoughts.

Wonder Egg Priority is already a candidate for AOTY.

No this is not up for debate.

Ichigo: What do you even see in me? Orihime: You should sit down. Ichigo: *sits* Orihime: *pulls out a long list excitedly* Ichigo: What..? Orihime: Okay, let's begin with the first time I saw you!

I'm not dead!

So this is heavy but recently shared, Akira Toriyama, legendary mangaka and creator of Dragon Ball has passed away today at age 68.

I know I am one of many when I say Akira Toriyama’s works were inspirational. The man’s incredibly legacy and influence on the tropes and style of manga we take for granted these days is practically unfathomable. From creators of all walks of life, professions and backgrounds.

He is an indisputable legend of the medium and inspirer of many. Thank you, Toriyama. Thank you and goodbye. May you rest in peace

Mashima really made Juvia look like a blue-haired Lucy. Tragic.

Isn't weird that Salem is letting the heroes actually rest and prepare for her next move? How thoughtful of her🌺

Salem is overall such a considerate and polite villain. She has spent the whole show sitting in one place and only appearing to do something when its not too inconvenient for other plotlines the show wants to do. A terrifying threat that makes everyone shake in their boots by...sitting in non-descript EVIL location for entire show.

Sure this makes V9 premise even more stupid because even the already shaky excuse of "but they couldn't get characterization within the actual story with Salem at their doorstep" completely fell apart now but oh well.

Got to wait for Jaune The Protagonist Hero to be present to do anything plot important after all.

I wouldn’t have minded that Salem mostly isn’t active, and just says in her fortress while Cinder does all the work; after all, Sauron mostly isn’t active, and I’ve always been fond of quoting these lines from Denethor to explain why Salem might take a back seat:

“Nay, not yet Master Peregrin! He will not come save only to triumph over me when all is won. He uses others as his weapons. So do all great lords, if they are wise, Master Halfling. Or why should I sit here in my tower and think, and watch, and wait, spending even my sons?”

(Incidentally, that quote describes Ozpin in the first three volumes pretty well at the same time)

The problem is that Volume 8 ruins that by actually having Salem come out and take command of the battle. She doesn’t do a lot while she’s there, but she is there and it makes it hard to explain why she hasn’t done it sooner.

[invested-in-your-future]

Yeah you either do her as Sauron leading armies or you do her as someone who takes a backseat and manipulates others while she herself won't/can't do anything.

I personally never was a fan of Salem actively doing evil destruction things because it never felt like it fits her character(or at least what it should be). Even her participation in v8 felt forced but alas it's what they did especially with how literally everyone is scared of personally her.

V8 basically ends with her banging at the gates of Gondor with an army and superultradestructomcguffin.

V9 happens the way it does because we are supposed to think she's supposedly still banging on that door with her massive army, but offscreen.

And then she supposedly went home actually and everything is fine until team RWBY and Jaune will be back.

That doesn't work. At all.

Lapis and Goldmary C-Support in a Nutshell

Lapis: Goldmary, are you ok? Goldmary: Ew. A poor.

[remnantoforario]

Alear: Now who should I give Eirika's ring to? You both helped bring it here. Goldmary: Rosado flew it here. Give to him. Rosado: But you helped too, Goldmary. You should take it. Alear: I see. Here, Panette. Panette: Thank you, Divine Dragon. Goldmary and Rosado: What the fuck?!

[remnantoforario]

Rosado: Blink three times if you are being held against your will. Hortensia: *Happens to blink three times while explaining the situation* Rosado: I knew it!

[remnantoforario]
