Luffy -- the sun -- is the power source feeding the ancient iron warrior, isn't he?
The drums of liberation sound ドンドン is killing me yeah; and it is probably that sound -- that sounds coming off Luffy’s heartbeat -- that is reawakening the iron warrior.
Also worth mentioning that Luffy was "knocked down there"; probably close enough for his song to reawaken the warrior.

"Talia can never be redeemed and her romance with Bruce can never come back because *falls for Grant Morrison's/DC's extreme racism towards asian and arab characters in the 2000s/2010s"
Yeah, sorry, but shut the hell up. It never fails to astound me when DC actually tries to fix the mistakes they made with Talia/the al Ghuls in general these last two decades and the fans manage to be even worse than DC by clinging to the blatant racist/sexist writing of the past instead of embracing the turn for the better.
"But she did this and that!"
She's a fictional character in a fictional universe that is aware that it goes through continuity changes/retcons. What Grant Morrison did to her character was a a complete retcon of her 30 year history and characterization with zero respect for her. Why am I supposed to take Morrison's bullshit as gospel and reject any attempts to fix her from writers who know better?

Oof okay, work pissed me off and I've been thinking about the Bad Kids a lot so here we go:
This season is so good at capturing the sheer Rage of realizing that being exceptional gets you NOTHING.
You can be fucking perfect on paper. You can be LITERAL ROCK STARS AND SAINTS AND GENIUSES. You can go to Hell and save the world and people who didn't do a fraction of what you've done will say it's not fair to them.
This season has been poking at one of my sorest spots since it started, but today I've boiled over.
Allow me to share a personal rant for reference
I am a person who has always been just kinda...good at shit. I learn quickly, I can synthesize information and put it to use very easily. Generally, if I've done something once, I never need to be shown how to do it again. I don't tend to need a lot of help with things - most of my best learning is done through me teaching myself things. I move fast, I usually get things right on the first try.
This isn't meant to be a brag, it's just the fact of how my brain works.
So, watching my fucking coworkers, the ones that I HELPED, the ones that had to fail three times to get their paperwork to even go through the submit portal, get fucking BONUS POINTS is infuriating. They get fucking speed tracked while I sit here and wait for someone to get around to my submission - the one I completed and submitted DAYS earlier than theirs. The one that was approved on the first try and dropped onto a desk, never to be acknowledged again. I did it the day we got the assignment. I buckled down, I did the work, and I turned it in.
So why is their trying more reward worthy than my doing?
Why are we acting like this approach is more fair????
"Yeah, the entire family pressured you to go to be a perfect student and go to college. No, your brother doesn't have to graduate high school - but at least he tried!"
"Yeah, you did 80% of the work on this project but at least they showed up for the presentation!"
"Sure, you've done everything in your power to pursue your career of choice, you've followed every fucking step anyone has ever said you had to take to get there - unfortunately not everything works out. Oh, her? Well, she knows a guy who has a friend who's just going to hand her a job. No, she's not qualified for it at all!"
Over and over I've been told not to be too good too fast because all it gets you is more work and less reward. I should have learned this already.
I just don't know how many more times I can go to the job I got for displaying skills and abilities I was specifically asked to have, just for some guy to tumble in thirty minutes late with no clue what's going and get a fucking parade just for showing up.
And please, can we let go of the assumption that more time spent = more effort applied?
