I can't really take this debate too far since I really do not know the Japanese populace, so really I'm just going to end up just making broad statements that I don't really have to facts to back up. But I'm guessing you're talking about America now, which I can do. I never really said anything about women or them being icked out, but okay. Yes, the LGB community(I'm omitting the T because Trans Exclusionary feminists are very much a thing in the current wave of Feminism) is more widely accepted in modern-day feminist groups. In fact, in the 70s/80s/90s a lot of the feminist groups were spearheaded by queer women. Nowadays, intersectionality has become a key phrase in the discussion of social equality and how it's important to care and support all movements because they all effect one another. Again, I'm not saying that lesbian relationships wouldn't be more accepted. I've not once said that. I was saying that lesbian relationships are fetishized by straight men, and are thus more likely to be accepted because of that. If more women had a kink for gay men, the reverse situation would prove true also. And I am very very very well aware that women like that exist, *sideeye emoji*, but not nearly massive in scale. Rather than more accepted, I think it would be more appropriate to say "less outcry". I think that makes more sense. ![]() this is so funny. Edited by dancingswan, Wed Feb 3, 2016 2:31 am.

R1 button on one of my PS4 controllers isnt working anymore ugh ![]() somehow its worse that its the one button that isnt working. But just that one button makes the whole controller useless. It would just be so much easier to toss it if multiple buttons stopped working. It's like tossing out an entire batch of cookies because one was burnt. |

Throw it under a bus. That way when it breaks, you at least have a good reason to get a new controller. Spoiler: click to toggle

I was out lifting heavy things and putting them down. Can't say I've seen much of the show beyond Cao Ren's beefcake glory, but go ahead and vent away.

It's okay, I've only seen that clip you linked, along with a Zhou Yu X Lu Meng tribute and then the last 15 - 20 minutes of the episode where Guan Yu and Lu Meng die, so I'm in need of going through the entire series. But from I've gathered, Lu Meng is such a puppy dog, eager to please his masters but ends up getting kicked along the way. Sun Quan is such a mobster boss and Lu Meng ends up getting rubbed out Mafia style because he 'disobeyed orders'... that were sent to him late anyways (considering Guan Yu slit his own throat, but still wouldn't look good considering Lu Meng immediately beheaded him anyways, MOMENTS before Lu Xun showed up and told him not to do it.) The look he wears is beautiful, like, the perfect example of 'are you kidding me' and tells him oh so casually 'You came too late.' BUT HE IS SUCH A PRECIOUS PUPPY AND PUPPIES ARE TO BE CUDDLED AND REWARDED, NOT KICKED. Edited by ChibiGingi, Wed Feb 3, 2016 3:28 am.

Wow, that does suck. From what I saw - and heard from others who watched it all - Cao Ren got sandbagged as well. He has all of his bad-tempered stupidity from ROTK and not much to make up for it other than that bod. As I recall, he sacrifices troops at Jiangling instead of saving them. NO. FAIL. ALL. WRONG. I had been excited about the show because underrated fellows like Cao Ren and Lu Meng were supposed to get more of the spotlight. Too bad nobody figured out how to actually write them. EDIT: I read your post before Lu Meng's death was fully explained and I think my head just asploded right now. YEAH THAT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE GIVEN THAT SUN QUAN AND LU MENG WERE HISTORICALLY CLOSE. NO. UGH. Edited by Rydain, Wed Feb 3, 2016 3:30 am.

I mean, I'm not actually opposed to what happens to Lu Meng- I'm all for different takes and the idea of Sun Quan being so manipulative and sinister enough to plot his own officers' deaths for either the greater good of Wu or even his own ego, intrigues me enough to watch. ****, I'm just happy that Lu Meng got into the show, as other shows I was looking into completely omit him entirely. It's like they're angry or butthurt about the guy that defeated their precious God of War or something and can't handle to acknowledge his existence. So, I'll take possibly manipulated and abused puppy Lu Meng over not having him in at all. |

The 2010 ROTK was purposely written to be "darker and edgier" than traditional Chinese portrayals of the story, in order to fit a "modern" zeitgeist, they said... it did cause a fair amount of controversy in China as well (online at least). But Liu Bei's portrayal was praised for being "darker and edgier" instead of the weepy uncle like he was in the "original" 1994 CCTV series. 1994 Liu Bei was too much of a wuss to be a leader. 2010 Liu Bei was much more bad ass. For example, In the 1994 version of Yi Ling, Liu Bei just waves his sleeves around and goes "Ai yah! Ai yah!" until Zhao Yun saves him In the 2010 version, LIU BEI GOES ON BERSERK RAGE MODE but is held back by his guards for his safety! He was going to take on the entire Wu army himself! He's portrayed as having a lot more balls than in the 1994 version, for sure. Also, in the 2010 version, he strictly scolds Liu Shan for being lazy while in 1994 he kinda just lets him be. 1994 Cao Cao and ZL cannot be matched though. They fit their characters so well. 1994 Cao Cao will always be the definitive live-action Cao Cao to me ![]() In fact, I am of the opinion that the 2010 version of Liu Bei is much more interesting than the DW version. Port him in, please!

I'm definitely giving the show a chance, though that does make me sad that they STILL can't get Cao Ren right. WILL SOMEONE GET HIM RIGHT?! |

@Cao Liang - Thanks so much for that info. I agree that Liu Bei needs some fortitude to be taken seriously as a leader, so his 2010 ROTK portrayal does sound like an improvement. @ChibiGingi - I know, right? I've actually heard good things about his future AU expy in Blade Sangokushi, but I never got around to seeing if any translations were available. |
