I genuinely love both, but I’m ever so slightly biased towards English dub Illuso. The dub was my introduction to Vento Aureo since I watched it around the time it was airing, and Illuso’s goofy lines are honestly what initially made me fall in love with him (besides his design ofc). Here’s a compilation of some of my favorite moments as a treat.
I learned this from watching “The Panda Redd” on youtube in his DC comics discussions but Superboy Prime is the perfect critique of toxic masculinity and toxic comic fans. Like, most of the times when a writer tries to cover toxic masculinity in their works, it backfires because they end up making people like the ones they’re critiquing think the character is super awesome and “it’s totally like me!” but Superboy Prime is so hateable and pathetic.
He has so much power and caused so much destruction but at the end of the day, he fails to be intimidating because he says shit like “I’ll kill you to death!” and “Everything was better on my world!” he doesn’t have grand villain speeches. He sounds like a toddler having a tantrum and is basically DC holding a mirror to toxic fans and those with toxic masculinity and saying “This is you. You’re an overgrown, whiny jerk and you need to cut that shit out.”
Now, why do I bring this up when Panda Redd and Linkara have already covered him? Because I realized something. One of the toxic fans that Superboy Prime represents are the ones that killed Jason Todd and in his big villain turn, he brings him back to life.
See, when Jason was first created, he was a carbon copy of Dick Grayson. Hell, he was even part of an acrobat family called “The Flying Todds” and his parents died the same way. The only difference was that he had red hair. No one minded…until post-crisis where they not only gave Jason his own backstory and personality but used him to discuss darker topics like abuse and homelessness. That’s when the most toxic aspects of the DC comics fanbase came out and started throwing a fit. They would send angry fan letters to DC offices, leave angry phone calls and basically broke down the ones in charge until they finally said “Fine! We’ll kill him off but only if it’s something you really want!”
And despite what many believe, it wasn’t that many people calling the number to kill Jason off. It was mostly just a few people repeatedly calling the same number over and over again. There’s even a story of one guy rigging up his phone to his computer to call the “kill Jason” number again and again.
This adds all the more delicious irony when Superboy Prime, punching reality in a fit of nerd rage, ended up undoing one of the most famous events caused by toxic fans. Not only did the representation of those fans bring Jason back to life but they made him more popular than ever before and a beloved member of the batfamily.
*The Akatsuki reuniting with their couples after somehow arriving to heaven*
Yahiko *crying and hugging Konan and Nagato*: YOU’RE FINALLY HERE WITH ME!!
Itachi *running stray to Kisame and buring his face on his chest and trying to hold back the tears*: I missed you so much.
Kisame *hugging back Itachi and sobbing*: I missed you too Itachi-san.
Deidara *running to Sasori and climbing on him while crying out loud and screaming*: YOU BETTER APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW FOR LEAVING ME NOT ONCE BUT TWICE DANNA!
Sasori *buring his face on Deidara’s neck to hide his tears*: YOU APOLOGIZE NOW FOR BEING AN IRRESPONSIBLE, IMPULSIVE AND IDIOTIC BASTARD YOU BRAT! How many times I told you not to blow yourself and to be prepared before starting a fight? I can’t believe you’re death Deidara.
Deidara: I’m sorry Sasori, but for making you wait for me. I know how much you hate it when people makes you wait and above all, I know how much you hate being alone.
Sasori: Deidara you stupid brat…
*They start making out*
*Meanwhile in other place*
Kakuzu: Huh? Am I in heaven? I didn’t thought I would end up in here but-
AITA for realizing that my best friend is actually a ghost and not telling him because i'm worried that if he realizes he's dead he'll finally be able to accept it and fully pass on and i won't be able to hang out with him anymore?
in honor of barbie movie, i dug my Midge ™ out of my parents’ shed so i could show you all just how she worked if you’ve never witnessed it in action
as you can see, Midge has a magnetic pregnancy belly that contours to her unpregnant body
now inside the pregnancy belly of course is the barbie baby. it comes right out, no vagina to exit through. and if you look closely you can see that her underwear is also painted across the bottom of the belly. there is no mistaking this for a woman with any genitalia. just underwear.
here is the baby within the belly. i don’t think either of these is the correct way a baby should sit in a uterus but do i look like a fucking doctor to you?
the clearly very happy mother and child. and discarded magnetic belly. with underwear band.
