Not sure who to direct this to, but the new kinja update has removed tags from the front page. It's now impossible to tell what kind of story a piece is without actually clicking it. For a very small second I actually thought this had happened somewhere on the east coast. (For some reason Boston came to mind.)

Thanks. I was starting to think I wasn't worth answering.

So... not a fight, but the fans would say Batman beat Superman? Ok. I really don't get how people say things like this with a straight face. You admit on one hand that one of the players does not want to harm the other, did not know about the battle till literal seconds before it began, and has far better things to do…

Right... because Luthor and Superman have ever been in a fair fight. Because Luthor always tells Clark, "Hey we're supposed to be fighting in a few days so get ready, because while you've been doing nice things like saving the entire bloody earth, I've been scheming and planning and acquiring companies and hiring bad…

How exactly do you get posts up on the ODeck? I've tried but everything seems to go to my "personal blog".

LOL. No, I didn't mean to be condescending. I simply didn't think you were correct. We're still allowed to disagree without being condescending, right?

I suppose we're all heroes today. I get the impression that the romanticisation of Neville Longbottom has come only because we did not get to watch 7 years of his life in as much detail as Potter. Yes he was a terrible wizard, overlooked by most of his class. Yes he killed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes in a lucky and…

I don't dispute that Snape did not like Harry (though I fail to see how that takes away from him being a hero; heroes don't have to be nice guys you know) but please when exactly did his presence result in the worsening of events and the overall loss of life, especially with regards to Harry Potter himself?

I love Naruto as much as the next guy, and Itachi is certainly one of my favourite characters due to the immensity of his sacrifice, but Naruto (the show) is a little too repetitive to be called a source of creative mana. ALL, I repeat ALL, the bad guys were good nice kids who had something bad happen to them as…

Relevant:

I agree, but that really isn't a fight anymore. That's a lesson, a mentorship if you will, where the weaker but more experienced "master" teaches the stronger but less experienced "student". And even in this state, Clark is smart enough and Batman is weak enough and if push came to shove Superman would beat him to an…

See the issue with this is that even the concept of Superman as an idiot doesn't make much sense. Apparently the yellow sun, which bestows upon Kryptonians the amazing skills of speed of light travel and the ability to carry continents, does not touch cognitive abilities or neural synapses. The mental differential…

I agree with you 100000%. It's actually a little irritating how anyone actually believes this is a fight. By any logical means of reasoning Batman would be crushed before he can even move. He's fighting a man that can travel at the near the speed of light for chrissakes. People bring up Kryptonite, like Superman can't…

Naaa. I guess that kinda makes sense but then he could just stay in the same place and let Tobi pass through him; Tobi can't suck things and pass through them at the same time. The moment he threw the knife I knew he'd bested Tobi. It was a very brilliant move. Throw the kunai, force him to pass through it and in so…

I suppose you're right. This points to a more important topic surrounding literature/film/tv where kids are the protagonists. You end up with children that can apparently best most of the adults in the world with half as much training and barely any experience.

For some reason Kinja isn't displaying my pictures. Hope this works:

Haha. It's been a while since I had a nerd Naruto fight online. Madara is an exception, because of some weird stuff that Kabuto did to him. Kabuto said as much when he summoned him. Edo Tensei summons your soul from the dead exactly as it was when you passed on. That's why Pain looked like this:

Nope. Edo Tensei brings you back as you were just before you died, with no injuries of course. That's why Pain returned unable to walk by himself, white haired and thinner than a rail. That's also why Sarutobi (the third Hokage) returned just as old as he was.

The fact that I remember exactly how Walter looked when Jesse asked if he wanted to build a robot made this clip the best thing ever

Really? I think Edo Tensei Pain showed that he would still have won that fight. When Bee attacked him and he simply grabbed him and sucked all his chakra, turning himself from a weak, crippled, emaciated and white haired dude into the young, fresh, red-haired Nagato, it became obvious that had he fought with Naruto he…
