Thoughts on Simon?

kwab

No words could properly describe this man.

Not as good as Kamina, but still pretty good.

Kyle's going to win. Screen-cap this!

Shinji but learned to drink the kool aid

HE WON

HE NEGDIFFS KYLE BITCH RAYNER

Stood taller than most people.

He does the impossible.
He has a cute wife.

Bros...

Row Row Fight The Powuh!

DO THE IMPOSSIBLE

Green Lantern Simon

KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Gurren Lagann is personally my favorite anime, but no Simon should have not won this. This doesn't feel right. Green Lantern's scaling in the comics is absurd, moreso than any other animeverse.

Why do they call him Seamoan?

Solo'd DC's entire cosmology at max wank

kek

Knew my boy was gonna stomp DCfags

HE DID IT

10/10 character
So many great moments.
One of my favourites is when Nia is taken hostage in episode 10 or 11 and he's the first ont to come rushing to her help without a mech or anything. None of the other characters even noticed he was there lol

Hes him

Animation could have been better, but he did it. He beat maximum swank...

fucking KINO

That is also one of my favorites. Another moment I utterly love is when they were all trapped, slated for execution, the entire gang failing to break out, and then, quietly, slowly, he starts using nothing but his core drill to dig into the wall, and nobody notices until they heard dirt fall, him not thinking of whether he can or not, no boasting, no whining, just him, back turned, doing the impossible, just like Kamina said.

He's a self-insert power fantasy but his fans will never acknowledge that.

Stay mad.

I don't want to self-insert as a guy who loses the woman he loves forever, loses his best bro, and can't even power up to his full potential because it will cause the spiral nemesis or some shit. He's literally forever nerfed in power and the ones he loved most are gone. I don't wanna self-insert as that.

kylejeet still salty

Fag.

I think he solos the Justice League.

mad
also kamina was always portrayed as the super cool one

Kamina's whole personality was a front. That was the whole point of his character. He was the world's best bullshitter and it got him in the end.

Simon killed Kamina

Only because Kamina's act fucked over Simon.

Any character that's strong is a self-insert power fantasy

You sound like a schizo.

Only way it could have been better was if they did the wedding shot where he walks away and catches the ring while his back is turned

TTGL has always been tiers above DC. It was never a fair fight.

why Anon Babble hates ttgl again?

Got shit done when Kamina could not

We hate on it because its melting slag of other animes ideas rolled into one from gunbuster to getter robo

nobody self inserts into him until kamina dies therefore he can't be a power fantasy self insert for the viewer. lol the way cooler character is kamina until he passes the mantle onto simon. If you self insert into simon previous to that, without prior knowledge he turns into a powerscaling beast, you are commendable.

Disagree. Seeing him grow up made his character all the more better.

Self-insert is a buzzword and it's not just applied to cool or strong characters.

More popular than the genre. Same root reason for all their Eva hate.

we

animes

Anon Babble is filled with oldfags so I know you are bullshitting.

Correct.
I self-insert as Kyle Rayner because he is a weak loser and a cuck like me.

His bull's name being Simon is the ultimate irony

gainax fans are the least self aware humans on earth. i love almost everything they make but you niggers LOVE it when they do things you claim to HATE like underage fanservice, regular fanservice, self insert power fantasies, and so on.

the writer for gurren lagann stole ken ishikawas work panel for panel and this is not a reach considering he was the editor for getter robo saga and gainax has been stealing things for decades "through parody" (westerners they don't get it so they see it as a unique idea) such as the Gainax pose lifted straight from a panel of Getter Robo G or Spiral Energy being Getter Rays. Even the "sakuga" moment of doing the drill shi is lifted from stoner sunshine from the getter ova!

does it really matter that he can't power up to his full potential when his current ability is already above that of every other being in the universe?

based

He got KWABitched by a Shota in that one episode.
Gay episode BTW. They had no problems showing cock and balls, male ass and Simon getting raped but did I get to see a single female titty or ass? Nah lmao. My fault I guess. Since this anime has a massive homosexual traveling with the group. Gay anime for gay ass niggas.

are you trying to say sexualising yoko or ryyuko is the same as to-love ru or something because there are pretty big (boobed) differences

underage fanservice

I'm not a pedophile like you bro, I just like mechs

Only tourists hate fanservice.

Simon...please show mercy...Don't send Boota after me...

Literally what the fuck are you even talking about?

a single female titty or ass?

watch the movie

He got KWABitched by a Shota in that one episode

I don't recall that one.

Only if your friends die young haha....

It's because Imaishi and friends were feeling funny with the artbook and storyboard explanations and wrote ridiculous shit about infinite energy and about how he absorbed multiple universes to form TTGL.

but you enjoy something written by pedophiles. implying that the most otaku insular male only elderly japanese studio of all time (besides maybe ghibli who are full blown pedos) made this anime for "normal people" is insane tbqh. The philosophy of Gainax is best summed up by Otakings defence of LGBT on the basis that the attack of LGBT will also take down lolicon with it, ergo MAP talking points.

in talking about the leftypol types in here that have gainax or trigger anime in their favourites but condemn anime fanservice.

there is no difference. you guys lack so much self awareness you are unironically doing the whole i watch hentai for the plot spiel. but you also love being insecure so you do the

HEY ITS GOOFY FUN OK

to

ITS ACTUALLY DEEP YOU DON'T GET IT

schrodinger ahh rhetoric.

TLDR FUCK GAINAX PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY FAGGOTS

Why the fuck do you make up shit just to get angry about it? I dislike all tourists myself, especially people that that complain about classic anime conventions but I don't feel like bringing them up.

You sound upset.

there is a distinct subset of gainaxfags that behave like this. applying misplaced elitist discernment to goon material within anime has now become common even here (just check out the avg monogatari thread). Also of all things invoking anti tourism for a gainax propety shows how out of touch you uncs are considering series like Evangelion or Lagann have astronomical amounts of misinfo attached to them.

Also how am i making it up when I initially responded to someone who is the type to say characters like Shinji or Simon are not self insert characters.

I self insert as yoko

ROW ROW

whats with the DC posting i don't understand

becomes a legendary hobo

FPBP

you are just proving my point leftypol retard. transfags are okay with fanservice when they can self insert. you're still male at the end of the day and enjoy series with the male gaze. but someone gainax being the studio removes the now decades worth crusade against fanservice rhetoric?

inorganic character for inorganic people. or should we say "ironic weebs" to dumb it down for you "anti-tourists."

Death Battle made an episode about Simon vs Kyle. Kyle is a Green Lantern, but he's also an immensely powerful White Lantern (basically the guy full power of the emotional spectrum), who fucked with the Source (some super important metaphysical thing in DC cosmology), and has access to Life Equation. He lost after the creators, who are known for their bias towards DC, ruled that Simon is incredibly overpowered and evolves too fast for most people to catch up.

You can check /dbg/ on /co if you're interested in more. It's currently filled with DCfags coping about their mega omniversal character.

Basically there was a death battle (there's a thread on Anon Babble for it), Simon fought a max wank DC character and trounced him so badly that he basically beat the entirety of DC.

Nia is better.

Anon Babble is having a melty because Simon is stronger than Superman, The Flash, and all those other boring capefags.

death battle

The what now?

all you have to do is watch the last scene of the lagann movie to know ts nigga was never losing

It's currently filled with DCfags coping about their mega omniversal character.

melty

Sou desu ka?

A show formerly made by Rooster Teeth that pits various fictional characters against each other. Basically, powerscaling but with enough budget to animate the fights (though said animation can range from passable 2D and sprite anim to horrendous 3D animations). They're known for making disingenous and shitty analysis that lead to most people believing they're either biased towards one side or are straight up dumb.

An excellent example is Bardock vs Omni-Man. They rule that Bardock is actually mega super duper FTL++++++ thanks to misculation of a meteor traveling to Namek, yet he manages to lose to the capefag because they use some irrelevant scene of Omni-Man destroying a big space disk reflecting sunlight and wank him to star-level of destructive potency...despite the fact that Omni-Man can hardly destroy a planet with 2 other Viltrumites, with gravity that's INFERIOR to Planet Vegeta.

I fucking love Gurren Lagann so much bros. Simon is one of my favorite characters in fiction, his character development and rise into a man of pure motivation is such a sight to see

15 year old show where they powerscale characters and fund some fight animation for it

Precisely. I'm glad he got a spotlight, even if it was over this crap lol

I do like that Simon and Kyle seemed respect each others strength. Simon thought the Superman construct was cool, and Kyle while dying was willing to pass his ring to Simon.

The original Goku vs Superman episode caused more damage to the anime industry then what we thought

How are you this uncultured?

So this is the power of versustism.

From a movie that's either non-canon or conflicts with canon

boils down to real robot vs super robot
Gurren Lagann is a big symbol of the genre (to general audiences) and since a lot of Anon Babble are more real robot leaning they don't like the big super robot show be what represents them

West vs East is a pretty big thing there, and Death Battle has been giving DC characters wins for the shittiest of reasons. Goku vs Superman are basically spite matches that wank the capefag just because some researchers wanted their favorite to win. Now that Kyle lost while relying on DC's incredibly powerful cosmology, everyone is taking the piss out of the situation.

Basically DCfags are an obnoxious bunch who thing their capeshit character are superior to all other characters in fiction on the powerfag front and throw a massive shit fit if one were to imply otherwise. People thought defeating a DC "herald" (a top tier in the powerfag scene like Superman) was impossible. Not only did Gurren Lagann beat one, but they beat the guy who essentially got gassed up as a composite of DC's entire cosmology surpassing even their most busted guys. Now DCfags are bitching hard about it.

I like my character development, so I like Simon. Simple As.

Goku vs Superman are basically spite matches that wank the capefag just because some researchers wanted their favorite to win.

Nope. The DB people outright have stated they like Goku more than Superman. The first fight even had the post-analysis basically gargle Goku's balls by saying he only lost because he's a better character.

Women will never, ever, ever understand. They can pretend to, but they will never get it.
Anon Babble is just reddit 2.0 nowadays, gundam exclusive board. Nobody who actually likes mechs cares about this gundam shithole..

More popular than the genre. Same root reason for all their Eva hate.

Retard and tourist. You have no idea what you're talking about.

some shitty power scaling shonenshittery channel

culture

capefag powerscaling is rewriting the same character 20 times and picking and choosing when he's at his best even if it conflicts.

Might be a lion king reference

hey so we know this capeshit hero normally struggles with villains who can maybe scale to throwing a car but in this 1950s comic he threw something a billion times faster than light

For those not in the know

multiple universes

Multiverses actually.

Anon, the concept of "Swank" exists. Even if they claim one thing, the end result is three needless and disrespectful matches in which composite Superman is this invincible god who has no misinterpreted shit and anti-feats. And trust me, he has a lot more than Goku and his questionable universe-shaking feat.

thought the entire history of detective DC comics comics, leechscaling off of each other, could defeat a random humble digger

who the hell did they think they were

if im not mistaken this how db powerscaled obi wan

Superman really is just that much stronger than Goku, though. It's not disrespectful just because the guy you like lost.

This.

I don't disagree with Superman winning, and again, feel like Goku has a lot of questionable shit that they omit as well. You can agree with the general outcome, and still think it was done poorly.

Problem with Goku is all his best wank comes from chain scaling, the worst type of powerscaling, and actually taking power levels seriously. His actual feats, save for one unusual situation that felt like an asspull, are not impressive by anime standards.

If you think Goku VS Superman 3 is disrespectful, you're actually retarded. It's exactly what a sporting fight between them should be like minus destroying reality just for our entertainment.

Can't believe this baited 2 people

could simon beat saitama tho

Saitama can’t even beat Popeye.

yeah but who cares

no he would win in one punch

the most sincere trips

Huh, this hadn't been translated before?

Garfield vs Marmaduke could be a fun comic matchup

He's so powerful bros

not knowing my amerishit powerchart channel?

b-b-b-bait

Trying too hard
