I love it when a show has an overpowered main character but they do not give a single fuck about their powers, it's so silly

for example:

What are your examples? :)

So, as much as I like seeing Danny in the Teen Titans or Young Justice or hanging out with the BatKids (or ship him with Cass or Raven), it makes more sense for him to be an early member of the Justice League.

Let's face, Dan's powerful, but he's not "Senior Justice League" powerful. I find it hard to believe he'd be able to take on Wonder Woman or Superman solo, and he definitely doesn't stand a chance against Dr. Fate or Martian Manhunter. Bring in the whole team and he's done for.

Furthermore, he didn't stay in Amity Park throughout the whole show, so the whole "sealed city" thing doesn't really work without de-canonizing a LOT of episodes.

The way I figure it, Danny makes more sense as an early if not founding member. Dan could reasonably take on the JL before it's founded, particularly if he and the founding members are close to the same age.

If one must have Dan take on the League and win, he doesn't have to be stronger, just smart enough and maybe luckier. More than one way to skin a cat is all I'm saying.

I just realised something

So we can all agree that Jason and Percy are pretty evenly matched right? They are both incredibly skilled in melee combat and have strong abilities.

Except no I don't. During the fight between possessed jason and percy, Jason zaps percy and percy never uses his powers.

Firstly, I think if both of the possessive spirits had full awareness of their hosts abilities, both Jason and Percy would be dead in miliseconds.

I think that the idea of percy bloodbending and jason mind controlling won't work. Jason would have to have incredible knowledge, even if he didn't just fry the brain entirely. Percy would have to control the water in every individual cell, slowly, otherwise the user would be one pile of gelatinous goo on the floor and a human shaped bubble of murky water being controlled by percy. All the cells would rupture.

This made me realise, any water based organism could be instantly destroyed by percy, he could just rip the water from it's cells instantly.

We also know Percy's hydrokineses can expand to fill the body of water he was in. We see this happen in the sea of monsters when he finds all the bubbled of air in the ocean to bring to annabeth as she is drowning after the siren song.

Now I have enough set up to show my ultimate percy superpower. If percy is in any body of water connected by a continual flow of water to the ocean, any organism in contact with said ocean or any body of water connected to that ocean could be instantly killed.

Yes jason is powerful, but he has no range.

Blue Eye Samurai: regarding Mizu’s “plot armour” or her “ridiculously over-powered” abilities.

“Mizu is way too overpowered, it doesn’t make sense.”

I feel like a lot of people don’t realize just how much the mind over matter mentality plays a roll in Mizu’s “abilities”. Mizu isn’t the best because she’s physically the strongest, or had the best training, or the most experience, or whatever. Mizu is the best because she has single-minded focus and immense tenacity that borders on psychotic due to how intensely dedicated to revenge she has been for almost all of her life. All the years she spent training, all the time she spends taking out enemies, she is being driven by single minded focus and iron willed determination that never wavers. She has been sharpening and honing not just her body, but her mind, for exactly this. She has dedicated her entire life to her quest for vengeance, and in her own words, there is no room in it for anything else.

People also seem to be making a lot of assumptions about what kind of training and how much training Mizu has or has not had. As the audience, we’ve only been shown bits and pieces of Mizu’s past, which includes her experience learning martial arts. Asking shit like “how is she so good with a sword if she’s only self taught?” is like asking “how can she read and write if Master Eiji is blind?”. The answer is that Mizu has obviously learnt these things from more than one source, but documenting her entire education in detail doesn’t exactly serve a purpose to the narrative. We are explicitly shown in one of Mizu’s flashbacks that she’s been practicing with a wooden sparring sword since she was very young. It’s actually her child self that we see in that brief particular flashback. Not her teen/tween self, her child self. She’s also following the movements and instructions of an older man that is clearly a skilled samurai or warrior of some kind based on context (which y’all love to ignore). Besides, who else would want/need a sword from a master sword-maker besides an expert swordsman? How many skilled fighters from all over Japan have come to Master Eiji’s forge hoping for a blade, and wait with nothing better to do but train while their blade is being made? How many of them have divulged information about certain fighting styles (like Shindo-Ryu, which Mizu was familiar with despite never having been to the dojo before). Or practiced around her and with her? We are clearly shown through Mizu’s flashbacks that receiving training from a visiting client has not been unusual for her throughout her apprenticeship with Master Eiji, and her little spar with Blood Soaked Chiaki was no one time event. Yet Mizu is never given the benefit of the doubt by the audience, despite context clues indicating that she should be.

“Taigen has way more training in an actual dojo, so why is Mizu better?”

Whereas Taigen, while he was determined to become more than just a fisherman’s son and was driven to rise through the ranks of the Dojo and become a skilled samurai, did not have that same desire or determination to hone every part of himself to be the most deadly weapon he could possibly be, like Mizu did. Taigen believes in the samurai code of honor and upholds it in his own way (preventing him from learning how to “fight dirty” so to speak) and he also had a life outside of his training (he had a social life, he drank, he partied, he snuck around a lot to see Akemi presumably, etc). In fact, we actually never see Taigen practice, train, learn, hone his skills, or anything (to my recollection) throughout the whole season, until he’s bested by Mizu in combat. I’m assuming Taigen had to work quite hard for several years to become as good as he is, but I get the sense that ever since he has been regarded as a prodigy he has allowed himself to get cocky and maybe a bit too comfortable. He has always been the best and always thought himself to be the best, so he never needed to give 150% effort when he fought. In fact, as he got older and more practiced, and it became more and more apparent how much better he was than everyone else, he probably stopped giving his 110% and allowed himself to get a bit comfortable putting in 100% effort, and then eventually 80% effort (which is part of the reason why I think he’s so pissed he lost to Mizu in their first fight, because he knows he could have done better: been less cocky, been more tactical, more driven, etc).

We also never see Taigen meditate or mentally or physically prepare himself the way we do with Mizu. Mizu will pray before a major upcoming battle, not because she’s religious, but because she’s mentally, emotionally, and spiritually preparing herself. We even see Mizu submerge herself in very cold ocean water (during the winter mind you) as a ritual/practice of sorts that serves to center herself and prepare mentally and physically for what’s ahead when she feels herself getting “too emotional” or too stressed or unfocused or even just slightly off kilter. Mizu sacrifices every part of her life, so that she can be the deadliest version of herself possible. She has no social life. She has no friends, or significant others (Mikio aside). She has no other activities to participate in, because she’s been completely alienated and thus being anything but the best is not an option in her mind because she has no options. She tried married life. She had the best possible life that she could have had as a biracial woman in Edo era Japan. She did as she was told by her “mother”. She showed her true self to Mikio, just as he desired. Yet the blood and vengeance still caught up with her. She has no other options anymore. Pursuing revenge is the only thing she knows how to do, because every other avenue in life has been cut off from her. So she has to be single-mindedly focused on her vengeance, which means being as skilled and as dangerous as she can possibly be. She has no hobbies or jobs or responsibilities beyond sword-making (which allows her to become as familiar with the blade as possible) and training herself. If she has extra time, she uses it to practice, to train, to improve, to simply maintain peak performance. Such as when she was hacking through those trees in episode 2. Afterwards, we see Taigen attempt to replicate her training (by cutting down trees with his sword). Though even then, it was more about curiosity and trying to suss out Mizu so he could gauge her skill level, then it was about actually honing his own abilities (until episode 3 when he practices with Chiaki’s broken blade). Which does count as training in its own way (assessing your enemy), but my point still stands. Taigen does not have the same unwavering focus and force of will that Mizu does (partially because he does not actually want to kill Mizu, as we do see Taigen go cold blooded with focus when he kills Heiji Shindo, but those are whole other discussions).

“Mizu just has ridiculous plot armour, that’s the real reason she survives every encounter.”

I feel like people that think Mizu has ridiculous plot armour are just not at all familiar with the Samurai or Western/Cowboy sub-genres at all, or even action as an overarching genre on its own. I don’t believe I have ever engaged in a single piece of action media in which the protagonist didn’t have “plot armour” in some way. Basically half of all male protagonists from any and all modern western action movies ever, have been way too over-powered and been able to take a ridiculous amount of damage that should have killed them multiple times over. These action heroes (who in western media are almost always cis-het white men) have ridiculous plot armour in the most classic sense. Yet no one complains when it’s a white man. Only when it’s a queer-coded biracial woman of colour. Shocking.

In fact, you could argue that every main character in every fictional story ever told has plot armour to a certain degree, because having an entire narrative revolve around one character is inherently “unrealistic” and therefore the main character has plot armour, yes? No? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Oh, and on the topic of the samurai genre specifically (and many martial arts based action media) there are certain genre specific tropes that are nearly integral to the genre. One of the most prominent being the samurai/ronin/warrior/martial arts master that is “ridiculously over powered”. It’s literally part of the genre. In fact, the western/cowboy genre is quite similar to the classic samurai genre. Now, how many westerns have you watched in which Clint Eastwood or John Wayne shoot 5+ guys with one pistol before any of the guys they shoot even get a shot off? A lot I bet. Is that not the definition of “over-powered” and “unrealistic”? Or is it just a genre trope, or even perhaps, a genre staple? No one thinks Arthur Morgan (Red Dead Redemption 2) is over-powered. No one thinks that Joel (The Last of Us) is over-powered. In fact, when the TLOU show came out, people actually complained that Joel, the fifty-something year old man that has been living in a post apocalyptic wasteland for 20 years, was not badass or strong enough (he kills dozens of humans and super zombies and he’s legally a senior). So, who is the “judge” of what is and is not realistic in action media that borders on sci-fi/fantasy based on how “over-powered” the protagonists “realistically” are?

“It’s just weird that Mizu is so powerful when other characters within the story are not. It makes Mizu such a Mary Sue.”

Okay… so, with all that in mind, let’s circle back to where I started when referring to Mizu as someone driven by unwavering determination, and how that affects her “abilities”. That facet of her personality and motivation is nothing new when it comes to the action genre, especially for protagonists of revenge storylines. Think of Kill Bill or John Wick. Why does John or the Bride keep going and keep winning even when they are constantly getting injured and always fighting. Is it because they are simply that much better than everyone else? Yes and no. No, because they are not superheroes (technically), but also yes. Because their single minded determination and need for revenge drives them to push that much harder than anyone else on their skill level. They are the best, but they win against everyone else that is also “the best” because they want it more. They need it more. Mind over matter. They are willing to endure what others are not through sheer will and pure cold rage. Mizu, Beatrice Kiddo, John Wick, and so many more similar protagonists in action-revenge narratives don’t keep winning and keep getting back up no matter how inured they get because they are just “that much stronger and more talented than everyone else”. Yes, they are extremely skilled and would probably be one of the strongest and most deadly combatants/killers in their respective universes regardless… but their refined skill and raw talent and power are not the only reason they win. Their unwavering force of will, extreme determination, ice cold fury, and single-minded focus on revenge is what drive them to be that much tougher. Their tenacity is their superpower. They want to win more than their opponent does. They need to win, because this is their one and only goal in life as of now. Mizu (Blue Eye Samurai) Beatrice (Kill Bill), John (John Wick), they all share a philosophy in life when it comes to their revenge, which basically boils down to “Either I kill you, or I die trying. There is no middle ground, there is no negotiating, no other choice, no path of least resistance, no other goal or motivation. You will die, because I ain’t fucking dying until you do.”

Mizu doesn’t have plot armour and she’s not over-powered. She is an archetypical protagonist of the action-revenge narrative and the samurai/western genre as well. She arguably even has better reason to be completing the feats that she does than John Wick or The Bride, because the medium of Blue Eye Samurai is animation and not live action, and the genre borders on magical realism far more than Kill Bill or John Wick. Now, how many anime protagonists (probably almost all male) can you think of that are “ridiculously over-powered” especially compared to any live action counterparts, but no one complains about it? Why does no one complain about it (aside from misogyny)? Because the medium of animation inherently has different “rules”, expectations, and set standards for suspension of disbelief, than the medium of live action film or television. For example, is it ridiculous and unrealistic when you’re watching a Looney Tunes cartoon and Bugs Bunny’s legs pinwheel in super-speed for 3 seconds straight before he starts running, or when he runs off a ledge and gravity just lets him hang there for a sec so he can look straight at the camera before he falls? No, it’s not “unrealistic” or emersion breaking, not even a little, but why? Is it because any of those things seem even remotely probable or “realistic”? Of course not! It’s perfectly acceptable because the medium, genre, target audience, atmosphere, art/animation style, narrative choice, storytelling style, and more, have all established that Bugs Bunny defying physics is normal in Looney Tunes, and therefore not a “plot-hole” or “unrealistic”. In fact, if Bugs Bunny or Tom and Jerry didn’t defy physics in ridiculous ways all the time, then it feels far stranger and off-beat than if they did. Same goes for pretty much all action anime. If the characters in those stories were strictly limited to what is 100% humanly possible in real life, most of those animes wouldn’t even have storylines anymore. They’d be turned into completely different content that may be unrecognizable from the original source material. Or wouldn’t even have any material anymore because all the characters would be dead after their first fight scene. So why is Blue Eye Samurai being held to a different standard?

Now, do y’all get it yet?

I think the funniest part of Percy bloodbending and controlling poison is that he just went liquid therefore under my control. His dad is the god of the sea so should he even really have power over freshwater?? Imagine if he just did that for everything and went dirt has water in it therefore under my control like?? The poison lady - can’t remember her name - was a primordial and so is Gaea so theoretically he could. Anyways op Percy for the win.

#percy jackson #heroes of olympus #house of hades #overpowered #genuinely think he should do it for sand against Kronos #be like time is like a river it’s under my control now #the only thing holding him back is him #that’s a little scary but tbh he’s the best person to have that kind of power #I do believe that he’s more godly than any other demigod and will ascend at some point #like aren’t mortal bodies supposed to give out under the strain of divinity

≪•◦ Spend Time W/ Our Beloved Traumatized Emo Monkey ◦•≫

There's A Thunderstorm Outside, And Our Emo Monkey Is Scared; Comfort Him. Will ya..?

You : “WAZZUP SIMPS.”

Macaque : “Uh, Hi...”

▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱

As you close your eyes and enjoy the breeze on the balcony, water droplets suddenly flow effortlessly down your face.

You opened your palm and allowed the drops to land on it. As you gradually open your eyes, you notice that the sky is growing dismal and dark.

You hummed to yourself as you turned around and walked away as a sudden thunderclap resounded throughout the surroundings.

You continued going while ignoring it; the castle was deserted and quiet. Well, it was almost just you and Macaque because the rest were on a mission or something..

You thought to yourself that you needed a break despite your bored mind.

You hummed some FnaF tunes as you moved through the hallways since they are fire af.

The storm intensified minute by minute as you continued to walk, but since it wasn't anything new, you didn't give it any thought. You heard some noises as you passed by Macaque's chamber, sounds like he was HURT..

Blinking twice., you shrugged and entered the room. “Wazzup, you doing anything SUS, here?”

You stopped yourself looking at the defenceless Macaque his feet on his face as he covered his ears tightly, Poor Macaro— I mean., Macaque...

As you bent over on your knees, your eyes began to soften. Macaque opened his eyes and gave you a pained expression, as you raised your hand. His head was touched.

Suddenly soft hands covered all Six's ears of Macaque as he looked up at you droplets of tears falling down his shock yet flustered face.

“Dont Worry Buddy, I got' cha.” You spoke as the monkey only blinked before smiling gently at you.

Macaque sniffed., “..Th—Thanks..” He suttered, then he chuckled, “This..Is so embarrassing..” he spoke lowering his head, avoiding you're gaze.

“Nothing to be embarrassed about, Really.”

Macaque looked up at you surprised, “...You don't think I look like a coward or something..?” he asked you.

“I've seen what you can do, why should I doubt you?” You asked, Macaque blushed, “I—..I mean,..”

You chuckled before eyeing his ears, suddenly Macaque flinched by the sudden glow coming from his ears, so he spoke; “What are you doing..?”

“Helping.”

Macaque feels something soft on his ears covering the thunderstorm outside, You removed your hands from his ears before smiling at him., “Better?” you asked.

Macaque lifts his palm feeling the soft and fluffy ear muffs on his ears, he smiled. “...Yeah, Thanks.” looking up to face you he sees that you were also gazing at him showing him sweet smile.

No one has ever treated him the way you did, he's so lucky to have you in his life., And He'll do everything it takes to keep you safe...

Even if You can literally DESTROY the multiverse with one snap of your fingers :)
