Personally I think Home Thru Hell is fantastic, and they seem to have a lot of chemistry on it. Hope Hell High is a little bit more of a snoozer for me, but it's still a nice vibe.

She was waving an illegal fire arm.
Complaints will abound regardless. But I'm very eager to see what tonight has in store for us.
Edit: WHERE IS IT?!?!
Edit 2 Electric Boogalo: TWAB was good and Artifact has been disabled for Trials. Reddit is now a bearable hellscape
This happens often, laners have a blame safety blanket when it comes to this. As a jungler I'll try and ping us away from a coin flip smite fight if it's not something we NEED to do. Usually because I feel like we're in the lead and don't need to risk this. But from the perspective of a laner it feels like the only two outcomes are now:
-
Get Baron. This is what should happen.
-
Lose coinflip, lose baron, now we have our scape goat to blame for the duration of the game due to his inability to smite.
Trust your jungler's instincts when it comes to this. Maybe he's not confident and hasn't had a good day of smiting OR at least don't flame him so viciously when it goes wrong, he told you so.
There are certain conclusions that this game assumes the player will make by providing evidence and expecting the player to fill in the gaps-one prominent example is how the game never directly states that Edelgard was an attempt to recreate Nemesis. Others include Arundel being replaced by Thales after taking Edelgard to the Kingdom and TWSITD attempting to drive a wedge between Edelgard and Byleth by specifically attacking Remire. Heck, outside of Mercedes' paralogue, you never actually get explicit confirmation that Jeritza is the Death Knight. I think this is a strength of the game's writing, and it's refreshing to avoid having characters baldly stating their motivations. However, the drawback to this is that sometimes the player can misinterpret what has happened. The bandit attack in the prologue seems to me to be an example of this.
Like many of you, I initially assumed the bandit's target in the prologue was killing Dimitri and Claude to shore up Edelgard's political position and make her attempt at conquering the Kingdom and Alliance easier. The game never directly has Edelgard confirm this, but it was repeated by so many people that I just assumed it was the truth. However, the more I reflected on this from a geopolitical and logistical perspective, the more dissatisfied I was.
Geopolitically- Remember, Edelgard hates TWSITD more than anyone. It's why she specifically goes out of her way in her route to kill Cornelia, and she celebrates in BL when Thales gets offed, despite it hurting her war effort. Edelgard is trying to thread the needle of working with a powerful, entrenched group to destroy the church while not allowing them to further strengthen their own sizable political power (Think the U.S.-USSR alliance in WWII, where both countries were never anything more than allies borne out of necessity). She wants to conquer Fodlan partly because if she doesn't, TWSITD will. If Dimitri is assassinated, we know what will happen from other routes. Cornelia will take control, shoring up TWSITD's influence in Faergus. Similarly, her throwing the Alliance into chaos before she's in a position to take advantage may lead to a TWSITD takeover of Leicester, an invasion from Almyra, or any number of complicating factors. This will give TWSITD a stranglehold in Fodlan, the last thing Edelgard wants when she lacks power herself. Once she's in control of the might of the Empire-completely different story.
Remember at this point Edelgard still hasn't p

Well, it has finally happened, all 4 seasons are gone from the site......and not just that, but many people are making videos celebrating the taking down on bilibili (which, in addition to having the largest licensed anime collection in the world outside of Japan, is also aiming to become China's YouTube) and other places right now.
The manga was already gone a day or two ago.
I wonder how much of MHA's income comes from China. While its extreme popularity in the West and being probably the Jump's current flagship series in Japan means diverse income sources, I know that it has also a huge following from China who actually would pay for the manga/anime/merchandise, especially hard core female fans of Bakugo et al. Whether this will make a sizable dent on the income remains to be seen...
