This dialogue is more insipid than ominous or threatening :/

No kidding.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

I was waiting for him to say "Know Pain" there.

 

[BBboy20]

Even TOM can't escape from the pain.

 

[Morlas]

well pain is basically a kid who went through a lot of tragedy combined with a god complex due to his overwhelming power...these things happen.

 

[cntr]

Wait since when could Pein fly?

Always.

He's just repelling himself off the ground.

 

[Raxus]

man, summoning is overpowered

more shounens should have summoning enemies where you actually fight the summons

 

[ckohler]

Pain is a boring villain. He's just strong and a megalomaniac.

 

[cntr]

fair but stands don't count

Pain is a boring villain. He's just strong and a megalomaniac.

Pain's interesting for his moveset and fight, but his character...yeah, not really.

 

[Raxus]

Pain being an edgelord is kind of the point of his character.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Pain's overarching arc is so dumb that he comes close to a parody of a JRPG villain.

He thinks that killing huge numbers of people will cause temporary peace? Are you fucking kidding me?

He'd still be better with some of Freeza's classy dialogue. Space Napoleon > all other bad guys

Have you not read Watchmen?

 

[Morlas]

nobody ever accused pain of being rational...

 

[Mizerman]

At least Pain has a fun moveset.

When you have special and powerful eyes, you better have a creative moveset.

I was waiting for him to say "Know Pain" there.

Same.

Peace via near Extinction is a common anime refrain. A lot of people connect it with the end of WW2.

 

[cntr]

what the fuck is that voice

 

[Seda]

Pain is kind of a mix between "Sterilize the world" trope and "Overbearing order" villain tropes, both of which are common.

I made those names up but I'm sure TVTropes has something in that vein.

 

[Moaradin]

Not THAT Jutsu!

 

[Morlas]

oh yeah this is the part where pain f's shiz up real good.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

That jutsu?

 

[BBboy20]

No body really had a chance at all, did they?

 

[cntr]

oh yeah finally, this part

 

[Man God]

Why is Shino hanging out with Itachi?

 

[Crocodile]

Is this the part where Pain

Spoiler

blows up the entire village?

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Is it time for the Almighty Push?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Have you not read Watchmen?

The plan in Watchman was to focus people's anger on a fake villain.

Pain's plan is just that mass death will cause peace.

 

[Seda]

The worst villain motivation I've ever come across is still Wild ARMs 4.

 

[cntr]

The worst villain motivation I've ever come across is still Wild ARMs 4.

What's that?

 

[Ray Down]

PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[B-Dubs]

blah blah blah just nuke them already

 

[Man God]

The Pain!

The Pain!

The PAAAAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNN. (Explodes)

 

[Morlas]

so yeah....pain is supremely overpowered.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

You maniac...

You blew it up!

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

This upcoming fight is really interesting and one of the more interesting fights I've seen in anime, but everything after it is the worst Naruto has to offer.

 

[Ultratech]

Damn, he pretty much nuked them.

 

[Raxus]

Huh, bye leaf.

 

[cntr]

for once, the nuke jutsu is literally a nuke jutsu

cleverer than usual imo, 'cause it's just an extension of his actual normal power

 

[Ray Down]

Well you were useless Sakura,

 

[BBboy20]

..............nobody really had a chance at all.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

The Hidden Leaf just turned into the Grandest of Grand Canyons.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Here comes dat coat.

 

[Seda]

I still think Naruto goes from "boy with potential" to "literally our only hope" way too quickly.

 

[Moaradin]

That's kinda dope

 

[Man God]

Sage Mode Naruto looks lame.

 

[Raxus]

Here I am to save the da.....Well fuck.

 

[B-Dubs]

frogs on frogs on frogs

 

[Morlas]

squad be like....

 

[ckohler]

That was cool. But uhhh kinda late.

 

[cntr]

that kind of felt less dramatic than I remembered it being...probably a Pierrot thing.

 

[Seda]

What's that?

Unleash giant and terrible beasts on the world and have them hunt and kill humans as prey, this way humankind will come together and "evolve" into better humans in order to defeat the beasts.

 

[Raxus]

That was cool. But uhhh kinda late.

Why, WHY DID WE TAKE TIME TO REHEARSE THE POSE!
