Honestly the only reason for that I'm able to think of is cause "Psycho" sounds slightly like "最高" which means "supreme/greatest". And Mob is the supreme, most powerful psychic in the series. That's probably not why ONE named it that though, I'd guess he probably just went with something that sounded cool.

It's a pun. Yes, it's a homophone for the same word as "greatest" and he's the most powerful psychic in the series, but also it's what happens when an emotional state hits 100%.

nine-gear crow posted:Reading USPOL for like 6 years has shown me this is generally the case... always. Leftists purity test the poo poo out of their allies trying to summon the Almighty Perfect into existence and leave themselves on this isolated little island where they hate everyone else and everyone else hates them because they're insufferable bores and they sit around conspiratizing that everyone else is out to get them and going "Why no 1 vote 4 us? I'm surprised that: A.) someone actually said this in this thread, B.) it wasn't me who said it, and C.) it was you, Nine-Gear, who in fact said it. - More to the point, I think the thing with 'purity tests' is that they are a thing, but everybody's got a different grading scale for them. Some people have extremely low standards, and will go, "Eh, Biden's talking about how he's not going to defund the police, but he's better than Trump, so [PASS]", whereas some people have extremely high standards where they'll present a twelve-thousand tweet thesis on how Chapo Trapo House is actually a pipeline to the alt-right, which I think is a bit extreme*. * I don't listen to Chapo Trapo House, but that something I hear get thrown around occasionally. I think the 'purity test' thing is maybe part a larger issue, where the 'left' is divided into different groups who have different ideas of how to push for change. If there's something to be said about leftist/progressive points, it's that sometimes they feel like they're at odds with each other. For example, I think a lot of people in this thread will agree that a core issue is how millionaires and billionaires are raking in cash while normal people suffer, and that's got to stop ("eat the rich, bring out the guillotine. etc, etc.") However a while ago, I saw someone talking about Vaush, and they brought up how he labels people as 'class reductionists'. I also saw a few people on SA use it as well (can't remember if it was in this thread or elsewhere). Me, having only a handful of brain-cells, I go, "What in the hell is class reductionist?" From what I heard, class reductionism is the idea of prioritizing class struggle over other types of identity politics, taking attention away from those issues. So you have one voice that's going, "The rich are bad; we need to unite the working class and push for better pay and unionization", but then you have another voice going, "Emphasizing class disparity diminishes the seriousness racial and gender discrimination." It's like, "Well poo poo, what do I do? Ignoring the first point is bad, but trying to bring focus on it also sound like it creates a problem." At that point, it's not so much a 'purity test' as it is a balancing act, except you don't always know who your audience is, and you don't know what you should be balancing and how you should be balancing it.

purity tests are an actual thing that exists and are a problem but like so many other things it's a subject that only ever really comes up when it's time to defend lovely famous people and otherwise none of the people that act like they give a poo poo actually do because the entire world revolves around lovely famous people

Vaush's problem is that he doesn't understand that class struggle and other struggles against injustices and inequality go hand-in-hand. It's not either or. He's incapable of grasping this concept because of his warped views. As others have pointed out, he has a serious loving gap with the trans community. He can say some decent things every now and then but then he puts his foot in his mouth and, honestly, there are tons of Leftist creators out there to listen to that don't have those problems and aren't stubborn about fixing the ones they have.

BigglesSWE posted:Every time I see or hear a Snyder quote I can't help but wonder what the hell the people in the Snyder-thread is seeing that I'm not. He's better at making films than he is at giving quotes, and the films go down a lot better when you aren't trying to do...whatever's going on in that video. "At the beginning of the film Batman is disfiguring lower class criminals. At the end of the film Batman has the opportunity to disfigure an upper class criminal, yet chooses not to. The problem with [this film] is that it has nothing to say." Notwithstanding that that summary of events in the film is substantially incorrect, there are some very obvious things to read into that chain of events - but instead there's the usual waffle about "the director not understanding the story [they're] telling" because it's more about reaffirming the existing options of a base than anything usefully critical. To expand the relevant quote, because it's cut (as per usual) in a way which is borderline misleading: quote:Well, one new point of difference is make them more grim and gritty, like Hancock or The Dark Knight, which seems to also work in Watchmen‘s favor — The point is distinguishing between Batman Begins, which is a film with a gritty aesthetic which nonetheless is about a guy who trains with ninjas, and an adaptation of Watchmen, which is a comic where someone is threatened with sexual assault in a prison. Is it awkward phrasing? Sure. Is it really objectionable in any way? Eh. e: consider this a forceful effort to dislodge leftist puritychat by any means necessary

How do dub voice actors typically deal with the difference in timing between what they say in the original language and what they say in the dubbed language? I usually don't watch dubbed anything because of that factor besides DBZ which only truly exists in the specific English dub I watched growing up

I don't consider it a purity test when someone says they aren't a fan of biden because they will literally die if they have to go another 4 years without proper healthcare I do consider it a purity test when someone with a blue check mark next to their name comes along, accuses that first person of doing a purity test and calls them a trump supporter Casey Finnigan posted:How do dub voice actors typically deal with the difference in timing between what they say in the original language and what they say in the dubbed language? they don't. the english script is written to match the japanese lip movements. this is a big restriction on dub scripts and why you will sometimes see dubs go with strange translation choices compared to subs.

Having talked to and listened to localization folks, it is a tough job when you're just trying to translate text. Forget trying to do the same and then match it up to lip flaps. That's why you'll also get those weird pauses now and then.

When Adult Swim brought Shin Chan over they aired some commentary tracks talking about the localization process. They heavily rewrote the episodes anyway due to the nightmare of trying to translate pun humor over to English, but at one point there was a line where the Otaku character is passing along some information. And he holds up 3 fingers in the middle of speaking due to sentence layout. They struggled to try and make the timing work for a minute before laughing and agreeing that he's so awkward that he would just throw his hand up early and let it hang there even if he didn't say 3 until the end. It's gotta be hell trying to make it work for something serious.

Panty and Stocking's dub eclipses the original script, and makes a good show even funnier by having far more filthier dialogue. More recently, The Great Pretender on Netflix has had an excellent dub, and is just plain good fun if you want a show that's functionally a set of three Ocean's 11/The Italian Job heist movies (the show is three scams broken into 5 episodes each)

No joke I unironically love the Gundam Wing dub. It is loving peak terrible 90's anime dub where they only have the budget for maybe 8-10 voice actors to cover a cast of dozens of characters, and you can tell everybody is trying their best despite having no loving clue about what it is they're actually working on. It also has some of the weirdest goddamn voice direction decisions like turning Heero into a stilted emotionless weirdo or General Septum into this.

Evangelion's ADV dub is unironically fantastic. I've been watching the DiC dub of Sailor Moon throughout quarantine and it's the greatest thing I've ever seen. Besides that, the Funimation Dragon Balls/Z/Super, Yu Yu Hakusho, Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Mob Psycho, Big O, most Trigger shows (though I preferred Little Witch Academia in Japanese), and... gently caress, really almost everything either has a good dub or an entertaining dub at least (except the Netflix Eva dub, which sucks). I can't imagine having such a stick up my rear end that I turn my nose at anything not in Japanese. The only shows that I strictly watch in Japanese are Jojos and Attack on Titan.
