    that’s not how the big bang works, the whole thing about the big bang is that it was a singularity containing all of space in a single point.
    The standard analog is to take a small balloon with dots painted on it, then inflating it. The surface of the balloon is spacetime, and as it shows there is no origin, everything just gets more distant from everything else.

    literally just fucking TVP (something that has existed since the 60’s) is perfectly fine as a substitute for most of the things people actually eat, like any time you’re using ground meat you can just swap that with TVP mince and it’s about as big of a difference as between different kinds of meat.

    making a character suffer in order to get a power up is really such a trivially simple and reliable way to make things feel earned and it’s kinda baffling it’s not used more/better

    it’s like the hero’s journey and other writing tools, it’s predictable but nonetheless it just fucking works.

    my hero academia remains the most tolerable shounen i’ve seen since it minimizes the bullshit like this, if they scream it’s generally a situation that calls for screaming (and implied to be way shorter than what’s shown) and if they shout the name of a move it’s because they’ve got fuckin tape elbows or whatever and they’re proud of coming up with a way to make use of that to stop people from dying.
