RIP This Account

So, tumble arbitrarily decided I needed to reset my password and logged me out on PC. Problem is, this account was made on an old school email I don't have anymore, leaving me no way to reset that password. Which means I can never log in here again. I'm still logged in on mobile, but that could end at any time. So, I've got no choice but to start over. My new tumblr is drcairodospointo. Follow me there if you want, I'm gonna try and refollow as many of you as I can find before I lose this mobile log in. Sayonara.

People who pick a main in an online game not because of their stats but because they find them the most fun or they just like them the most despite not being good with them at first are pure people who are going to succeed in life with their never give up attitude and I salute everyone of them

Y’know, if they did decide to face-heel turn him at some point, this would be a much better reason than the BS that’s been used in the comics.

The pain piles on in Civil War, sadly.

Previously, I’d only seen the first two panels and assumed it was the complete comic.

This version is much better.

Can I talk for a moment about visual storytelling, cause, I feel like it’s something that a lot of adaptations forget about in lieu of trying to replicate their source material.

It’s a problem you see most often in anime derived from manga or light novels, but it’s also present in movies based on YA novels, and you gotta know what I’m talking about, start on black, opening narration, fade in as the main character explains the world and environment. This works in a book since the reader can’t see anything, they need the specifics of the world explained, but it feels like the movies are just like “well it worked for the book, it’ll work for us right?

I’d say it’s worse in anime, where characters will go on long internal soliloquies trying to explain their thought processes and complex emotions, which again, works for the manga, in a manga movement is very expensive, every single motion requires it’s own panel, which takes up the artist’s time, printed space, and a moment in the narrative, so it’s important to only show what absolutely needs to be shown. But animation is different, it’s all movement and the details are what sells it more than the dialogue.

The reason I wanted to make this post is because of one scene in One Punch Man that perfectly exemplifies how to translate a written thought process into visual storytelling. After getting punched to the moon (err, spoilers), Saitama has this thought process

and it’d be easy to translate that entirely literally in the anime, Saitama crouches, has an internal monologue as he tries to figure out how much force he needs to put into his jump, and then he launches. Instead though, the scene is done completely silently, to sell the fact that he’s in space, but the thought process isn’t removed, it’s just show visually.

He throws a bit of moon rock to gauge the moon’s gravity, then launches, it’s a much more thoughtful approach to the scene and the audience’s ability to interpret visual information.

I just, really wish more adaptations realized the inherent strength of the visual medium instead of relying entirely on the source material’s structure and reliance on its own medium.

This has to be the coolest I’ve EVER looked. I have not stopped freaking out about this and I’ve been showing everyone this.

@puntodearies was kind enough to make this AMAZING profile picture edit for me of a photo he took of my Zer0 at PAX East.

This is seriously one of the coolest things someone has done for me, please check him out he took my absolute favorite pictures of me at PAX this year. #paxeast2016 #paxeast #photography #cosplay #borderlands #zer0 #borderlandscosplay #zer0cosplay
