Luffy Vs Kaido Finale

Luffy will beat Kaido with his next attack. However, in my opinion, there are a few things about this “final attack” that strike me as odd, especially when compared to earlier arcs and the common patterns in other final blows. A consistent pattern when it comes to the final attack is that it’s often in the form of a clash or a trade of blows, it’s never been a completely one sided attack like we see in this chapter. Examples include: Lucci’s Tekkai vs Luffy’s Jet Gatling, Crocodile’s Desert Espada vs Luffy’s storm, Doffy’s God Thread vs King Kong Gun or even Krieg’s steel net vs Luffy’s gavel. The villain is never just doing nothing in their final moments.

The antagonist is always resisting defeat in some way. However in the latest chapter Kaido is just watching it happen… Which is weird especially with what he said about “winners needing no rationalizations”. He’s the one character who would give it his all. Similar to the first point, a very common pattern throughout One Piece is that when the big bad is defeated, people are there to see it happen, usually these are the people that need to be liberated, eg the Navy soldiers under Morgans or Kuro’s crew. In other cases like against Lucci, the battle still ends in a way that everyone can see he’s defeated. This goes double for island liberation arcs like Skypiea or Dressrosa. Sometimes the people get involved in some way to help Luffy beat the big bad. I guess you could consider the samurai as the “people”, however even among these arcs, Wano has a specific reason for requiring the people of Wano to know about their liberation: The prophecy. The last line is the important one. Bearing in mind that the prophecy is addressed to the people of Wano, this prophecy requires them to be aware that Luffy is their “dawn”. However currently we have an issue. Onigashima is still some way away from the capital. This means that Luffy’s attack isn’t in a position to beat Kaido in a way that allows the citizens to see it as his attack is aimed downward which in turn means that this attack can’t be the finishing blow. There is one more major reason that I’d like to discuss and it’s probably the most obvious. The moon is still up! Considering all of the “dawn of the world” etc dialogue we have gotten since Zou, I think it would make a lot of sense if Luffy, the dawn of Wano, the Sun God, the one who will end the 20 year night, beat Kaido after the sun rises. It would also be a nice Thriller Bark parallel.

Overwatch 2 Beta How to play And Released Dates

Happy Overwatch 2 Beta Day! As many players awake to find the golden beta ticket in their inboxes, there will inevitably be those who are left without one. But take heart, heroes, for Blizzard has designed a way by which you can earn an invite to what is, essentially, Overwatch 2’s soft-launch day.

 

Starting tomorrow and lasting for a few hours, anyone who connects their Battle.net account to their Twitch profile and watches at least four hours of Overwatch 2 from a list of streamers can earn access to the OW2 beta. In the beta, players will be able to check out the 33rd hero Sojourn, all the new hero updates, the brand-new Push game mode, and the five vs. five rework. Unfortunately, the beta is limited to PC players only, but Blizzard has plans to open up OW2 beta testing to console players in the future. he Twitch drops for access to the Overwatch 2 beta begin tomorrow, April 27th. An earlier version of this post incorrectly stated drops would begin today, April 26th. If you don’t have that kind of time (or inclination) to earn access to the beta via gluing your eyeballs to Twitch for four hours, you can also try your luck the old-fashioned way by signing up for beta access on Overwatch 2’s website. The beta lasts until May 17th, and Blizzard has stated it’ll add players on a regular basis.

Stranger Things S5 Will Leave Fans Wanting More

Stranger Things season 5 will leave fans wanting more, according to the show's co-creator Matt Duffer. After a nearly three-year hiatus due to pandemic-related delays, Netflix's popular supernatural series is set to return to the streaming service next month with a season 4 split into two volumes. The first four episodes will premiere on May 27, followed by the remaining five on July 1. Written and directed principally by the Duffer Brothers, season 4 will pick up six months after the Battle of Starcourt. The last time audiences saw the Stranger Things crew in 2019, Billy had sacrificed himself to save Eleven, Mike, and Max from the Mind Flayer while Hopper fought and killed Grigori before being seemingly disintegrated after Joyce triggers an explosion to close the gate to the Upside Down. Season 4 will pick in the aftermath as the show's core friend group is separated for the first time and forced to navigate the difficulties of high school while a new supernatural threat lurks in the Upside Down.

However, this won't spell the end of the show quite yet, as Stranger Things will be returning for a fifth and final season. During an interview with SFX magazine (via GamesRadar), the Duffer Brothers shared one of the first substantial teases for Stranger Things season 5. Matt says the final season will leave audiences "wanting more." Even though this may leave fans feeling like Stranger Things is ending too soon, it "felt the right move" according to Matt. Read what he said below: Even with five it’s going to feel like it’s ending a little early. We’re going to feel like we still have a lot more gas left in the tank. But I think that it’s better to end there with us wanting more. That’s why ending at five felt like the right move. While die-hard Stranger Things fans might be disappointed to hear the show will wrap up with a lot of gas left in the tank, the Duffer Brothers' decision to end the show after five seasons is completely justified and their argument is sound. It's always better for a show to go out on a high note rather than overstaying its welcome, which some of the most acclaimed series are even guilty of, such as The Office or Dexter for example, as both arguably suffered declines in quality during their later seasons. Other shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad wrapped up at just the right time, the latter ending after 5 seasons, which is considered a sweet spot for dramas. As many shows have proven, more is not always better. With a strong final season, the Duffer Brothers should be able to preserve the show's legacy and leave fans wanting more, which they might even get. Stranger Things will always have the opportunity to continue the franchise and explore additional stories via Netflix spinoffs, which the Duffers are open to.

The Batman is Coming to Debut on HBO Max

If you missed DC’s latest version of The Batman in theaters or simply don’t feel like spending three hours with strangers in a dark room, you’ll be glad to know that HBO is bringing the caped crusader to your screen sooner rather than later. The streaming platform is set to debut the Robert Pattinson version of Bruce Wayne next week, with a linear premiere on the HBO channel to follow.

This new version of The Batman isn’t connected to the DC Extended Universe, in which we saw Ben Affleck’s bulked-up version of the billionaire-turned-superhero. Director and screenwriter Matt Reeves decided to focus on the detective side of Batman, and crafted a story inspired by Alfred Hitchcock movies and famous titles like Chinatown and Zodiac. This last weekend, The Batman managed to cross $735 million at the worldwide box office, which perpetuates the blockbuster’s spot as the highest grossing film of 2022 (so far), and with an impressive turnout if you factor in the pandemic times. Even though The Batman is separate from other DC superheroes, the movie kicks off a Batman shared universe that is set to feature not only two sequels but also a Penguin-centered spin-off TV series, and an additional spin-off series focused on Arkham Asylum. The screenplay of The Batman was co-written by Reeves with Peter Craig, and the elements of the story and the appearance of a famous villain in the end already had us speculating about what’s next for the new version of the wildly popular hero and franchise. Aside from Pattinson and Dano, The Batman’s cast also features Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman; Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon; John Turturro as Carmine Falcone; Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson; Jayme Lawson as mayoral candidate Bella Reál, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Colin Farrell as Oz, aka The Penguin. HBO Max debuts The Batman on April 18, with a premiere on HBO to follow on April 23 at 8:00PM ET.

Elon Musk Has Declined To Join Twitter's Board

At the beginning of the month, Elon Musk announced that he has purchased a major stake in Twitter. Musk is now the company’s largest shareholder taking on 9.2% of the company and spending approximately $3 billion USD. Following the announcement, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal tweeted that while the board has appointed Musk, he has declined the offer, “Elon’s appointment to the board was to become officially effective 4/9, but Elon shared that same morning that he will no longer be joining the board.

I believe this is for the best. We have and will always value input from our shareholders whether they are on our Board or not. Elon is our biggest shareholder and we will remain open to his input.” The news arrives a week after Twitter has filed plans to appoint the Tesla and SpaceX CEO to its board for just one term which ends in 2024. In order for Musk to have the option of joining the board, Musk agreed that he would not acquire more than 14.9% of the company’s shares if he holds a board position. However, now that he has not joined the board, Musk is no longer bound to these agreements. After the announcement of Musk’s involvement, Twitter’s stocks surged. There is currently no official reason given as to why Musk has declined joining Twitter’s board.
