Cope about what?
if you can't understand the difference between having an opinion vs propping your opinion as fact/putting down other people's opinions.

and can't see where you did that in the other comments

then you really do just gotta be coping or just don't understand what I said ig.

if it's the latter, I worry about how well you really understand those "superior series" you're talking about, or even Naruto.

we need to remove female character writing as a point when judging shonen manga, it's made targeting boys naturally they're gonna put less focus on the women, it's like saying Toradora is better at bleach and one piece in romance, while it's true it's not really a gotcha since both stories are trying to hit different targets
This is actually a valid point, especially in regards to the side cast. Not so much the main cast tho.
Like, hypothetically, if say Nami, Robin, or Sakura were utter trash (they're def not), I'd say that's fair grounds for criticism since they're major protagonists.
But people who bring up Tenten not having screen time as an issue with Naruto are just dumb because she's not really a character meant to have a ton of relevance or screentime. It's like complaining that Monster Carrot didn't have a lot of relevance in DB 💀

I will say tho, Naruto has an S tier female character, and mfers need to start putting respect on her name.
Defs but there are some characters I'd have liked to see more done with (Mei Terumi) and Kishi does have his lil bouts of bare bones female character writing that borders on misogyny at times

Cause other people's opinions can be wrong? Are you going to now tell me that all opinions are valid when there not?
and can't see where you did that in the other comments
Wait are you claiming people don't have nostalgia blinders on when rating media?
then you really do just gotta be coping or just don't understand ig.
Well, you kinda just posted a bunch of quotes acting like it's some sort of gotcha before posting the 🫃emote cause critical thinking is dead at this point on your part but hey if you have a genuine critique instead of the memes I'm all ears to listen.

Is it bad if I have The last Air Bender at no 1?

opinions are innately subjective, you can disagree with one but that doesn't make them wrong.
Wait are you claiming people don't have nostalgia blinders on when rating media?
assuming people "have to have nostalgia blindness" to find something so good is an attempt to downplay their opinion of something.

I didn't think that was hard to understand.
Well, you kinda just posted a bunch of quotes acting like it's some sort of gotcha before posting the 🫃emote
when did I post that emote?

aye man, you not understanding half of what I said isn't my problem.

everyone can have opinions, idec where you have Naruto, it's probably not in my top 10 either.

trying to assert that someone's opinion is "objectively wrong" so strongly and saying it's impartial and not just being a goon is big baby copium no matter how you slice it.
 
Aight, y’all, this discussion is getting out of the realm of Naruto/Boruto. Feel free to continue on your message walls or in DMs, but let’s get this thread back on topic.
 
was bout to say yeah this went on way too long for something not that deep

imma go do something else ✌️

Naruto-Boruto thread as a pseudo group chat my goat 😔
holy shit, its official ATLA clears every anime out there!



well at least until op fans downvote it like every other show that isnt one piece
Nah, even OP and Naruto fans can recognize ATLA's greatness
 

This is a joke mods plz don't hurt me.
Maybe by page 2000 we'll get the other novels translated or in manga form.


@Damage3245 You have the opportunity to do the funniest thing right now

no

good writing is not the equivalent of whats the focus, your story can still be primarily focused on its male cast while still having good writing for its female cast in the same way you would have good writing for supporting characters, demographic has nothing to do with that, because in which case you can just argue shonen is allowed to have massive plot holes, inconsistent writing and terrible themes because its aimed at 12 year olds, demographic only influences style and marketing not the quality of writing and if it does its a mark of bad writing regardless.

so no your toradora example just doesn't work because your conflating quality of writing and characterization with genre conventions, there are plenty of female lead romance stories that have significantly worse writing than many of the female characters in the big three and the inverse is also true of there being many action focused series where plenty of side characters who happen to be female are better characterized than many of the girls in the big three.

this just comes off as a way to excuse bad writing, and this standard applies to shojo as well, it doesnt matter if the demographic is aimed at woman, a badly written male character is still a badly written character, the only thing that may change with a shift in demographics is a shift in POV and focus not quality, the reason your less likely to see people ***** about shojo is because A shonen is significantly more popular and B there are more woman that read shonen than men that read shojo.

what we should instead be doing is trying to push people away from the idea that screentime/hype moments ect are an equivalent to good writing, both MALE or FEMALE characters do not need to have the same focus or screentime as the main lead to have good writing if they fill their role in the story.

I want your takes on this

i’ve been thinking about that moment. when sasuke first countered A’s punch with amaterasu, he didn’t have his cloak on -he was in base form-, which is probably why it was so effective. if he was in his v2 cloak, i’m not sure it would’ve burned through immediately. A would’ve hit sasuke, the cloak would get affected by amaterasu, and then he’d just get rid of it, kind of like what naruto did.

Sasuke was not more likely to die than Ay about to dive on top of flames that never stopped burning and already took his arm 💀

that mf was guaranteed dead

either they both die there or Sasuke barely survives and gets healed by Jugo or Karin.

he had the cloak on, it just didn't matter

I don't think Ay's lightning aura can just be globbed into sections like Bijuu chakra can

How did i misinterpret that, so embarrassed rn. I just remembered him cutting his arm in base then assumed he was in base

yeah you right
