He's also complaining how the author is lazy with the details showing the realities of social media while also complaining how the author shoudn't have used a real case of online harassment as a point of reference. So does he want the author to do reasearch or not? It felt like gatekeeping just because he's an influencer. I'm with him that the MC is dramatic as fuck but the show never exagerrated him being a genius. Like, how is brute forcing to unlock a phone for 3 years "genius"?

It's more funny that he complains Garnt didn't enjoy JW4 cuz he missed the subtleties from not watching JW3... then proceeds to complain about Oshi no Ko and displays that he clearly did not understand the plot (just like with 86) and proceed to say it was weird and bad lol... For those interested, he states that the MC stalks the girl and saves her and that was weird, it was specifically stated that that only happened because there was a storm and one of their friends told their group that she had left her house and didn't hasn't gone home. Girl hasn't left her house in weeks, the MC couldn't give two shits about her normally, let alone stalk her. As for the "editing makes her not depressed" take, in this case it was editing that made her depressed in the first place, that's why it could fix it. The reason she was getting flak from the internet was because the director of the show only decided to edit in the flame-baiting parts of the characters' relationship, so the group comes up with the counter method of editing and showing how the cast is like outside of the screen to show that the narrative was actually not at all how the directors/producers portrayed it. With 86, Connor's monke brain took the show to be "racism bad, I get it," whereas the entire point was about a girl who knew "racism bad," "tried" to fight it, and got called out for her half-assed sympathy. The point of 86 was never about racism, it was a story about a post apocalyptic world where racism was only a very small part of one section of the story, and as realistic as it is, that specific issue was never magically resolved with anime magic logic like it did in One Piece. Man, this, along with the recent Connor canvas mod nuke shenanigans, outside of the Mouse stuff, he's been making L takes and L moves all around lately.

I know it's been out for a month, but I just wanted to share Raul Julia's story as to why he took on the role of M bison and why he gave 110%. At the time, Julia knew he was dying of cancer. He had maybe one or two film roles left before sickness would take him, so he wanted to take on a role that a) his kids could see and b) his family could stay with him during filming. Street Fighter was a game his kids loved, so he knew his kids and their friends would see it, and it was filmed in Australia so he and his family got to do some snorkling and see sydney together as some of their last vacation memories. Plus, and this is from Raul himself, the script called for him to beat up Jean Claude Van Damme and he enjoyed that as it was a moment where he got to feel powerful again. A brief reprieve, to be sure, but one he enjoyed as he knew his time on this earth drew to a close. He proceeded to chew on every piece of scenery when the cameras were rolling and made sure to deliver each line as if he was on stage in front of her majesty the Queen, so that each and every line would be memorable. I think that energy caught on and so everyone else had to bring some energy to match. And to this day, people don't look at Tuesday, or 5 british pounds, the same way....RIP Raul Julia....You made it a point to send it and by God did you ever.

[@RikoDiko]

1:07:45 Boxing is actually far worse than MMA typically for fatal injuries because unlike what Conor said boxing goes longer because of the standing 8 counts and such, you can be knocked down multiple times and still continue to fight while in MMA if you get knocked down the fight is likely going to end soon. Obviously there are exceptions in both, as for the inhaler if they were legal most fighters would probably use them.

[@veness5075]

I'm glad you commented this, it's quite a misconception with how dangerous UFC is, when in reality it's pretty safe compared to other sports. Most fights are stopped pretty quickly and there has never been any deaths inside the octagon, while there has been loads in the boxing ring.

[@felonyx5123]

Boxing gloves make it look safer, if you don't know any better. In reality they just make it easier to tenderize the other guy's brain without breaking your hands. Not a great trade off for the long term health of anyone involved.

[@blammmed]

boxing also causes longterm brain trauma

[@pcenero]

The safety gloves aspect ironically makes boxing worse for the fighters long-term. There's a similar pattern with making American Football helmets safer for the head: it ultimately allows players to tackle harder and take more insane risks.

[@RikoDiko]

@@blammmed yeah in boxing it's pretty much head or body, and most fighters aim for the head while MMA you have more targets

[@ClockwerkMan]

As a long time MMA fan, just wanted to address a few things the boys got wrong. While their are certainly risks involved in MMA fights that don't in boxing, such as hyperextensions from joint locks, or fractures from kicks, the long term health of the athletes is actually much better than boxing. It looks a lot more brutal because the smaller gloves are more likely to localize damage, making more cuts, breaking bones, etc. However, the gloves weigh SIGNIFICANTLY less than boxing gloves. This means that the hits are actually less powerful, and transfer less energy into the brain, which is what causes long term brain damage in fighters. Which brings me to the next big thing they got wrong- fight stoppage is way faster, and way more common in MMA than boxing. If you get knocked down in MMA, that's usually a fight ender, whereas in boxing you get a ten count. That ultimately means better long term health implications for fighters. Lastly, the inhaler bit. While life saving medicine shouldn't ever be prevented for a fight, a medicated inhaler *absolutely* provides an advantage in sports, not just fighting sports. It opens up your bronchioles and improves oxygen uptake, which is the whole point of the medicine. As you might imagine, that would be a pretty decent advantage for any athlete to have.

[@eren-tv2et]

It is a difficult situation though, like if a fighter needs it should they still be denied their inhaler? There needs to be some kind of quick process in place to determine this when a fighter is on the stool. Also Greg Hardy is a piece of shit so there’s that.

I will endlessly praise The Climber. When I was reading it, it was right when Covid started, and I was stuck at my brothers.

I didn't feel like I was looking at a drawing of a mountain view, or even a picture - it felt like I had actually climbed it with the main character, and was seeing what he was seeing.

Every single thing that Connor said in that part was either misunderstood or straight up wrong, even when said things were explained properly in the show.

And what upsets me more is that you can tell that garnt and joey completely disagree with him, yet they were afraid to call him out, i guess opinions like these are why this show is called trash taste.

[@3battle]

I don't want to be rude to trash taste as I can tell that they are obviously misinformed on the UFC so hope I can clarify some of the comments. For one, the whole fact that MMA is more gruesome then boxing and less technical is actually the opposite. The level of technique that fighters have to learn in various different martial arts is much more skillful than boxing, as well as being able to mix it all up, and expose weaknesses. Secondly, when Connor says that he doesn't like to see when somebody is knocked out cold, FC and major organisations stop the fight as soon as a fighter has tapped or it is clear to see they have been knocked out, whereas in boxing, even if a fighter has been knocked down, they only get a ten second count until they are back into the fight, and as a result, there are around 14 deaths in boxing a year, whereas in MMA it's much less. Finally, about the inhaler situation, this is not an MMA thing. Inhalers are considered to be something that can boost performance in all sports, and the fighter that did it was an American Football player before that. As well as this, he did not use the inhaler in prior fights, as fighters are expected to know what they are consuming or putting into their body is approved by the governing body, which the fighter (his name is Greg Hardy) must know about, which is why Dana White wasn't happy with him. Overall, I like your guys' content but please do not make takes on stuff that has come from clips, and try and educate yourself on a topic before you bring it up. Thanks for the podcast, looking forward to next week's one

1:08:30 Connor's take is misinformed. In the UFC, if you get KO-ed even once or if the judge thinks the fight is one-sided, the fight is stopped. Boxing is actually *more* dangerous than the UFC and more instances of fighters with brain damage happen there. Besides, fights in the UFC can also be finished by submissions (aka putting your opponent on a lock), which means some fights don't even end on a knock out.

[@Sero4]

It took a lot of balls from Connor to make that analogy about dressing up nicely if you're leaving the house bruh

[@dimplax5973]

1:08:30 the referees can stop the fight if they think they have seen enough, even in the UFC. Its called a TKO.

And ultimately end up in the with less damage than boxing.

[@aremayo9262]

It honestly sounds like they've watched clips from the older era of the UFC. I wouldn't blame them for those opinions if that's their frame of reference. Refs tend to stop it a lot earlier now. Also the main reasons why I watch it are: A. The technique and learning from the best B. The fighters and their stories C. It's just more entertaining to watch than boxing

[@KingJH0510]

The romance reality show drama in oshi no ko was not rushed in the anime The anime did a perfect adaptation of 3 chapters per episode and that episode, episode 6 where akane gets cancelled was one of the best episodes in the show Also aqua literally said mem told him that akane had went out during the typhoon so he went looking for her, and so did the other members of the cast after that.

[@best-girl-ilulu9736]

Honestly his take was really bad this time I'm not going to go over what u have already explained cause u explained it perfectly but when they were talking about aqua I felt like they were purposely ignoring aspects of his character for whatever reason cause he may not have as much depth as many other characters in anime but when u look at the environment that he was grown up in it makes sense especially when his character gets more depth in the manga (side note u can dislike him that's fine I just think they are hating him to just hate him). One other thing that Connor said that I disagree with he said he was a doctor so how does he know all this skill simple if ur determined enough 10 years of a festering revenge can benefit u in a lot of ways not to mention he had 20 or 30 years in his last life and he got a reset and currently has 16 more years on top of it it makes sense why he's skilled.

The thing with an inhaler I disagree with 100%. If you are literally dying because of your asthma or some other medical condition, you are able to get treatment obviously, but if it'll lead to an unfair advance, even if the other fighter isn't purposefully trying to take advantage of being able to take his inhaler, it still gives him an unfair advantage. You can make the argument that people will try to fake the need to take their inhalers for an unfair advantage, but even without that scenario happening, it would still lead to an unfair match. Conner is acting like you can't just disqualify yourself to take your medication that'll save your life. Sure, it's sad that that's how it has to be, but it's better to be disqualified than to allow people to play with an unfair advantage that would be considered cheating by 100% of people if it wasn't in the context of medicine.

[@johnnyjoestar7143]

I noticed the Vinland saga anime adds some stuff like Einar's backstory. Apparently there was meant to be an episode dedicated to Snake's past too but they had to scrap it last minute.
