They did when they were stoned.
That's not a high hurdle to overcome...
And JoJo.

So, the new show WAS the spoiled Parasyte.
Yes. You should consider tweeting those to them to Jason and Gil, SAB. In the very least they will probably show them on Pre-Flight.

So guess I missed nothing from the Q&A (had to eat dinner with fam)
Seriously?! Bah, least we got a promoh wait we didn't even have sound....
Not terrible but I think their Momocon panel was better (sans its Q/A). Steve Blum was a real pro (not surprising) and Sara's segment was great. The cosplay was fun, too. I get the impression there were only like 12 people in the audience so that kinda kept the energy low.
Bang! was a good idea on paper but the execution was... well.

I thought Bang was gonna be some kind of cute "haha, keep track of what gets mentioned during the Q&A BECAUSE OF MOMOCON" joke, not an ACTUAL game of Bingo which had no prizes whatsoever so there wasn't even really a point.
I kind of wish they tied it in similar to when they picked "when is the comic coming" & they answered the question (this fall). When they picked "reruns", I was hoping they'd say what show would return to replace AoT.
I also have to say I feel like SDCC just "happened" this year. I don't know why, I keep forgetting it was happening this week, maybe there just wasn't a ton of big announcements that I cared about.

I feel like they saw all of the criticism about Superman destroying an entire city and were like "We'll show them."
Y'all can hate on the previous Superman all you want, but those were the best live action fights between "super powered" people.
If that was a DBZ film, everyone would love that shit.
Honestly, I think the Marvel movies are better as films, but I honestly find them more boring then I ever thought Man of Steel was.

I'm irrationally excited for toonami tonight
It's basically been two weeks since the last one.
You know what DBZ warriors do when they are in a populated area.
They go to a deserted area. Even Goku understands damage control. Goku!
I really wish you would stop taking honest criticisms of Man of Steel as 'hating'.
I didn't like the film and have many reasons why I see it went wrong.

The problem with Man of Steel's action at least in context of that movie alone is that the fight was so over the top and there was so much damage caused by the fight that it lost sense of reality and felt more like a video game fight then a real fight. Someone made the joke that Bat vs Sup is retroactively trying to make MoS a good movie by addressing the fact Superman's presence and fight at the end of MoS lead to a great deal of death and collateral damage and I 100% agree with that notion. Say what you will about the Marvel films, but in almost every film they go to a great length during the big action scenes to have the super heroes save as many people as they can.
Was out all day. Seems I missed the Toonami Comic Con event. Hard to put together all your scattered thoughts but it seemed everyone here was underwhelmed overall?
I assumed that was a Anime Expo announcement that got leaked early. It was a Comic-Con announcement? LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Well considering Superman =/= DBZ, I would think that some people might be turned off if they went in expecting A and got B instead.
Just Sayian!

And I fully agree that it was "out of character" for Superman to do that in.
Maybe im not as mad because after the Tornado scene I gave up all hope that the story would be coherent and make sense and that it would just be a cool thing to watch
It reminded me of an old Arnie film tbh.
"losing reality" would happen in a fictitious setting, especially with 2 characters who are canonically stronger then anything we could even comprehend. The action scenes were great in that regard, and really gave weight and power to characters when in other films, "powerful" characters dont look or feel powerful at all.
Well, Parasyte was their big show announcement. Which, as you've seen, is not good because we knew about it at Anime Expo. They showed a teaser for it, Pre-Flight had no sound. They showed the first minute of Intruder II but the stream was down so no one saw it. And then they played bingo. For no prizes.

Remove the technical issues and the boring game of BANG! in the middle and it was basically just another Pre-Flight episode that happened to have Steve Blum and some Q&A at the end. In that view it was pretty good overall, with those issues it felt overly padded for no reason.

Even the dumb Arnold films generally had heart and character to them, or had simple enough plots that worked in the context of Arnold. And we can comprehend the power of two super strong fighters, there are many many MANY films, games, comics, etc that have depicted two super strong characters fighting far better then man of steel did. On a technical and special effects level the fight was great sure in a turn your brain off and shove popcorn in your mouth way but the moment you think about it for a second you realize this is wrong. Even the bad original Superman films (3 and 4) understood what makes Superman work as a character it's not that he's some alien with super powers that fights other super power foes, it's the human side of his character and how he uses those powers to save people AND beat the bad guy AND save the town from too much collateral damage. Using a RLM esque line here "Man of Steel is a shiny object you dangle in front of a cat, so if you're a cat you'll like the movie".

so I didn't miss much. definitely needed the sleep
Only movie that did 3d action better was Asuras Wrath
c wut I did there
But then again, one of my least favorite things about the Western comic industry is the predefined "superheros" that a constant swirl of authors and artists have to abide by.
Good lord, Trinity Blood was easily the most boring show they ever showed on Toonami/Adult Swim. Totally on my top 5, maybe even 3 worst shows. I still don't know why I bothered to watch all of it, but even then, I can't remember any of it.
Blood+ was........okay for the most part. Also boring, as I also can't remember much about it after all these years, but it took a while for it to get boring.
