RUGBY PLAYERS I THINK MHA CHARACTERS WOULD BE AND WHY:

MALE VERSION!

my take on why I think they’d be in that position. TEEHEE

Kirishima Ejirou:

Flank, specifically open side.

Have you seen him? HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?

His mentality is too hit, ruck and support.

The flank is ruthless, yet the most kind when it comes to their teammates. They’re always there, always ready to support, ruck, protect, and destroy.

Plus I just know if he picks the ball he’s bull dozing through the defensive line. Again: have you seen him?!

Izuku Midoriya

Half back (10)

I debated weather he was a scrum half or not but then I realized that boy has power as a 10.

The first one to take a step, to take initiative in the back line.

The one who who affects the whole back line or even forward back with his demeanour, decisions and voice.

He also works constantly with the centre’s (12) to create the strongest attack.

Deku would be on fire there: the shy timid boy suddenly becomes this demanding beast for his team as a 10.

Plus!! He’s the point kicker because of his magical power of strength teehee

Bakugo Katsuki:

Centres, specifically 12

I’m a centre too and I am a Bakugo kinnie mentally so...

12’s are selfish, always taking the ball in with full strength but with smart intentions.

The 12 also has to have a strong hitting drive, and I know Bakugo would just KILL.

They also create plays, opportunities with a rath of “I’m going to beat everyone.” They’re quick to move the ball or destroy ankles.

I guess he’d play 15 sometimes too but 12 is where it’s at.

Denki Kaminari:

Wing

I’m not saying he’s lazy but...JOKING

He’s the one who may not have the best handling skills but as soon as his hands touch the leather of the ball he’s off.

His eyes is on the prize and that’s the score line and he’s ready to zig zag through it all.

Surprisingly he’s also not one to give up when someone breaks the line. He will protect his own line with his life.

He’s a little disorganized on the field but definitely not disappointing.

Sero Hanta:

Centres, specifically 13

He’s got that playful spirit to him, he may be goofy but as soon as he knows he’s better than the person infront of him, he’s a cocky thing.

Sero plays with the ball, fakes it and hopes you bite so he can run right past you.

He’s also good with working with their wings, sneaking little plays switches with em so they hit the gap right.

Works well with the 12 by both being cocky in their own way!

Tenya Iida:

Full back (15)

Obvious reason why he is fullback - speed.

But he’s skillful, analytical and game sense expert.

As soon as he catches the kick, he’s gone, he knows exactly where his team mates are supporting him and uses it to his full advantage.

And although Lida’s size may be untypical of a fullback, it makes him way more affective when he inserts himself in the plays, specifically by the wing - matched up to a skinny opposition. Lida smirks and begins to run up on that back to destroy their career.

Shoto Todoroki:

Scrum half (9)

A 9’s pass must be perfect. Perfect in every and all situations.

They must never break under pressure and or panic.

Shoto is the best scrum half out there. Calm, stoic and blunt all while thinking a step ahead before anyone else.

He is quick, a perfectionist and aware of all senses yet only focuses on where the ball needs to go.

His timing is impeccable along side his box kick that always goes where he wants it to go.

He’s also a bit catty on the field if somebody doesn’t catch his pass... cause it was literallyon point LOL.

Mezou Shouji:

Lock (5/4)

Obviously: He has broad shoulders and is tall.

And thought Shouji may be quiet, he always creates powerful statement on the field.

A gentle giant, supporting the wieght of 7 other men on his legs, no matter what he will push.

He’s a strong ball career, may not be the fastest but those long legs and broad shoulders are a hastle to get to the dirt.

Plus rucking against him would be THE WORST. He’s so sturdy... you’ll never move him. Ever.

Mirio Togata:

Flank, specifically 8 man.

The 8 man is someone who has the power to control a pack, yet has the heart of gold.

They are strong, a leader with high dignity and ambition to do whatever it takes for the pack and team.

Mirio would be the perfect 8 man: a leader, determined, built, scary when mad LOL.

He’s the one who is everywhere and nowhere. Showing up behind a player, suddenly with the ball and at full speed towards the opposition.

Omfg and his tackles would be CHEF KISS.

He’s also the captain of the team and a damn good one. It’s Mirio duh.

Tamaki Amajiki:

Flank (specifically blind side)

He’s quiet and timid, an unknown presence but as soon as someone decides to go blind - he hits you like you wiegh nothing.

A quiete determination to stop all and everything that comes his way.

He is also quiet fast and tends to be right by the other flanks side off a scrum.

HE HATES, getting the ball but loves rucking.

He’s the player that surprises everyone with the biggest hit of the game.

Taishiro Toyomitsu (Fat gum):

Prop

IN BOTH FORMS TOO

A prop is the power statement in a team. The bigger the better. Fat gum is perfect.

He’s the one who makes the first hit in the scrum. The first drive. The first creation of a angry outburst from the opposition after some unseen rough handling.

Fat gum is loud, yelling at those behind him to push and push hard.

He’s also the one who is last at rucks, but that means nothing negative when he’s the final power push for those infront of him.

And when he gets the ball? OMFG rip to whoever is against them. You will need 3 players atleast to bring that man down.

Kiego Takami (Hawks):

Wing/Fullback

He plays both

He’s smart and cocky.

He’s also fast, and a ankle breaker.

What Hawks can do that denki can’t is more handling, he’s an overall great player. The perfect wing. Always breaking lines and never getting broken too.

He knows when he wants the ball too, is assertive and confident. He has the ability to read the field before any of his other team mates do so he takes it to his full advantage.

His favourite thing to do is kick and chase. It’s his best asset as a player.

Also wing and he’s winged hero hawks LOL

EXTRAS:

Hitoshi Shinsou:

The student manager/coach in training LOL

It’s not that he didn’t wanna play but he rather be the brains of the team!

Aizawa Shouta (Earaser Head)

The coach. Quiet but will make you run laps if you miss a tackle.

Has everyone’s mad respect and is huge on development of players - which creates amazing players.

Toshinori Yagi (All Might):

Your typical vice-coach who’s the team dad and always positive!

Used to play pro

Dabi:

The opposition player that everyone fears and hates at the same time.

Plays dirty. VERY DIRTY. Like kicking you in the rucks and trying to make you break something.

Mineta:

Water boy 😐

Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (POTC #3) (2007)

Genre: Action/Adventure/Fantasy

Rating: 10/10

Movie Review:

I’m going to be honest here. While I loved this movie as much as the others, I also felt like I was high on drugs the whole time.

You have to admit. This one was trippy. A ship flipping upside down in the water? A huge waterfall landing them in Davy Jones’s Locker inside the Kraken?? (Like.... how does that work??). Jack seeing multiple versions of himself? And how did they not freeze that frozen tundra? Pirates managing to entrap a goddess in a human form?????

But this one has the most fantasy out of all them, to me. (Though I still need to rewatch Dead Men Tell No Tales, and I remember that one being far out there too).

This was the first of the POTC movies I saw in theaters (remember how I said these movies scared me when I was young because of the violence? It took me a while to start watching them on the big screen).

This one has so many great points though, especially when it comes to character arcs. We see Elizabeth Swann develop into the strongest, most badass female character I have ever seen (PIRATE KING!!!!), and she’s fully into the pirate world. She’s become herself, she has figured out that she will make decisions that will be risky, but she has to choose what is best for her. Will Turner saves his father, though he doesn’t 100% realize the sacrifice he’s making because he’s dead, and protects Jack and Elizabeth until his dying breath. Jack discovers that protecting just himself doesn’t make the world turn, so he gives up immortality for Will (though, you know, he still goes searching for the Fountain of Youth). Norrington, with the help of Elizabeth awakening him more, realizes that the system he is a part of doesn’t work, it can be rather cruel, so he protects the people he should be stopping and ends up dying in the process, but he still did the right thing. There are so many finales of character arcs in this movie, that you can tell the screenwriters did a marvelous job at doing an actual trilogy that worked and made sense.

Let’s talk about Tia Dalma and Davy Jones for a moment. I remember being in the theater and I knew it was the two of them that had been involved (Tia Dalma, or Calypso for that matter, was the one Davy Jones loved). And I love their love story, though I do have questions. Davy Jones was human at one point when they were in love, and I want to know how he had met a goddess and fallen in love with her. But alas, we didn’t get the whole story. But what we did get was wonderful. That scene with them talking was one of the best love stories I had ever seen. Her touching his face and seeing him human broke me nearly in half. We saw the man behind the monster, we saw the man without a heart look at her with such love. For someone who couldn’t feel because of his heart, that scene, I think we saw so much more emotion than we could believe. Remember what I said in the last review about love stories being at the heart of basically every story? Here, we know it. Davy Jones was spurned in love and that’s what led him into the villain we know. And that makes it so interesting and complicated.

Now, I found it strange that when Calypso was released (and I know who she’s supposed to be, I've read the stories) from her human form, she... just turned into a storm? I know it was supposed to represent her rage, and she’s a goddess that can become anything she wants, but it just felt a little lacking. I wanted to see more of what she could do. However, I do think there was supposed to be some metaphor or symbology or whatever at the end. When Davy Jones died, he said her name, and then the storm stopped. I hope that means their souls are together somewhere, that their love/hate storyline had ended in the human world. They moved on somewhere else, and maybe, the goddess Calypso brought her love back with her in some form. That’s what I would hope for them.

Beckett. I would love to slap him in his scrawny face. But I mean, you have to give him credit as a villain. He literally had control of THE powerful villain creature. That makes him an ultimate villain. He used others, he manipulated. He had Elizabeth’s father murdered (Elizabeth’s reaction is so heartbreaking, she literally has no family left, except for the one she creates with the pirates). He was a metaphor for the greed and destruction of the human world. He was literally that representation. He was the entitled bastard that made people want to become pirates (because I guarantee you, so many pirates in history became that way because they didn’t want to follow the British systems any longer-- they even created their own!). He is what is wrong with our world.

But what I love is how little of importance he is. They literally just blow up his ship, killing him, and that’s it. There’s no great battle with him, no final eulogies of the villain. He literally means nothing to them. While he’s a mastermind at manipulation and power and control, he’s so meaningless that he’s not even worth the fight. They just turn their ships, blow him out of the sea, and wipe their hands clean.

And that’s because, honestly, he’s one of those men that use other people to get what he wants. He may have the power, he may figure out how to have power over people and control them, but without those people, he’s nothing. He has others do his dirty work, he has a sea captain with power and infamy kill people for him. He’s the epitome of the bastards high in power who do absolutely nothing. He’s the gang leader who sends everyone off to kill people for him, and keeps his hands clean. It’s a weird psychology thing, one that I won’t get into too much depth about, because I could write pages and pages about it. But the best revenge is not giving him the satisfaction of rage or a battle. Just blow him up like the little, worthless man he is.

Barbossa is still just incredible because he’s there. He doesn’t really have any story arc, which is fine, because he’s the character that represents the pirate’s life. Him and Beckett are on opposite ends, to represent these two different worlds. He has depth, he’s interesting, but he’s also somewhat of a prop for others to bounce off of. He’s there to create humor and tension with Jack. He has the best quips. He’s not necessarily a one-dimensional character, but he’s rather close to it. But we all still love him because he’s just... Barbossa. The battle scene with him marrying Elizabeth and Will is one of my favorites as well, because it’s funny and sweet and monumental.

Will’s death and transformation is effortlessly done, and I try not to cry every time I watch it. Throughout all the movies, we see Will slowly come out of his shell-- he was so quiet and in his place in the first movie-- and controlling the ships without Jack or Barbossa. He’s constantly proving himself as a leader, and THEN, he becomes the leader of one of the most famous ships on the seven seas. I remember crying in the theaters when Will died, but then seeing him as captain of the Flying Dutchman was quite the gasping moment. But what I noticed this time was that the crew changed-- they were monsters anymore, they were men. Will became the captain and instantly, everything changed. Because he’s a good leader, a good man. And he would treat them fairly and like other men.

I have to admit, the ending scene of Will and Elizabeth on the beach was rather... hot, let’s just be honest. Especially kissing her leg. Like good lord, I’ve never felt so hot in my life. And it releases some tension-- they’ve been waiting YEARS to finally have sex. Now, they have. And it makes them feel different, which is wonderful to see. Will and Elizabeth have literally gone through hell and death and the ends of the world for each other. It may not be happily ever after because he’s gone for so many years at a time, but they still have each other. And honestly, if they are ever out at sea, he can protect them from afar.

Jack has come a long way too. It ends with him and Gibbs planning to find the Fountain of Youth, even though Barbossa-- once again!-- has stolen the Black Pearl. Jack may have come rather far-- the many different versions of him was... interesting, and funny-- but we see that he’s still who he is. A pirate who wants to live forever. That will never change. But he has learned some things, and that’s the whole point.

The trilogy is over. There are more stories to come, but this arc, Elizabeth’s (and even Will’s story) have pretty much concluded. The scene at the very end, of Will returning home to visit Elizabeth and his son, is one to remember. The trilogy started with Elizabeth, and her finding Will, and it ends once again with Elizabeth, and Will coming home. It was always this love story, these two falling in love and being together, despite everything, of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. This is Elizabeth’s story, at the very, very heart, and we watched this world of piracy and adventure unfold with her, watching her grow at the same time.
