Anime/Manga has been doing better then comics for the past decade.

Not surprising given that manga is way less intimidating to get into. With comics there's so many different runs for so many different characters spanning several decades leading into even more large scale events involving all those characters it's really overwhelming and not many people have the time or energy to try and keep up with it all, in contrast manga is just a simple "Pick a series and start from chapter 1" and it's so easy to just jump into.

Hyped up trash dubbed as "eating like kings", wasting 3D on it when previous one benefitted way more

How would the alternate universe go with Heihachi Mishima vs Geese Howard in 3D but Blake Belladonna vs Mikasa Ackerman in 2D sprite? Will that actually raise aggregate view clicks? Or will the aggregate views go even worse given how one-trick pony Mikasa is?

For me, it's more like they overspent on Macho Man Randy Savage vs Kool-Aid Man - typical episode which is overspent, has crappy research and even wrong verdict, cranky animation and wasted dialogues. Like... their experiment they spent so much time... flopped as hard as Country R planned to invade Country U just to meet Countries A & E and more pumping money and arsenal and resources.

Cut the budget for Randy Savage vs KAM, actually look into WWE lore and have Randy win, a sprite fight for it and give the budgets to both Heihachi vs Geese and Blake vs Mikasa.
 
I mean if we look at Ryu vs Jin it could work quite well, if they needed 3D for blake vs mikasa, do it at a later point, cuz all that hype wasnt worth it

Season 8 was going really well and could have been really better among others, if not for some matches in research, animation or match up itself

Given the issues of the 3D team Sprites we're probs for the best but if we're talking in a scenario or none of that fuckery then 3D all the way given how Goro vs Machamp was
 
Jason...why do you bring up politics....this is like the 2nd time recently. You're discussing a wrestler vs a commercial mascot fight then you compare it's performance it to a real life war invasion?

Also "Hollywood is obliged to follow Democratic Party's order" when talking about an Eren fight earlier

like what

Well... if you are uninterested... well I will just drop it for now - or at least do it in spoilers.

Back to topic:
Central idea: Eren was sort of written to turn from a hero into a villain and his friends would have to stop him. This apparently received mixed responses. And mostly negative from some of the far right fans, using political reasons and more.
It is more like.... the team really planned the episode wrong in so many ways it flopped.
When you hype on doing an episode but without good planning and execution, it flopped.
There are real world examples. I just raised one.

Also prep time Wiz destroyed a school with the loan contract. And Boomstick survived that, with third degree burns, which he regenerated back through unknown means.
 
Comics aren’t nearly as hard to get into as people assume. Thanks to cultural osmosis you know most of the characters and certain arcs are episodic and while they might get referenced here and there, they’ll be isolated. You never have to read a previous “Superman’s Girlfriend Lois Lane” to understand the previous one. Even big events, cultural osmosis helps a ton. My first comic was Blackest Night, a massive event, and I still enjoyed the full thing.
