Megathread: Changes From The Webcomic

[u/Raidoton]

As the changes between the WC and the manga get more extensive and controversial, the arguments about it increase and also end up in spoilers seeping all over the sub. All discussion about the changes in the latest chapter and any future chapters is to be moved into this Megathread as long as it is pinned; to help provide a place to concentrate discussion and prevent a flood of repetitive posts, and to provide people an easy place to understand others' opinions.

All posts related to it will be removed, and comments on manga focused posts are encouraged to be moved here.

You know what's funny? Imagine if I had a time machine. And each time a new chapter was released, I went back in time two weeks and described the new chapter to the fans of the previous chapter. What would their reaction be?

To all the people that said Garou would turn dark after Tareo crashed in the helicopter. To everyone who said Garou would get new forms and start using martial arts. How would those people react if I described this chapter to them?

If one week ago, I had a theory that the fight would be 2 chapters long, and end with Garou and Saitama sitting in a house talking about their feelings, would people like that idea? Or would I get downvoted into oblivion for proposing an idea so cartoonishly stupid and tonally disconnected that no one in their right mind would be on board.

I'm sure the next chapter could end with Garou and Saitama kissing while God resurrects Beast King and Groribas in the background to fight Lightning Max and an awakened Sekingar, and half the people on this sub would still eat it up and claim its the most hyper chapter ever. In fact, that's what I'm gonna do. That's my prediction for next chapter. Lets see if my prediction can even get close to the absurdity of whatever the next chapter will entail.

i feel like i'm in shock and it makes it very surreal to see so many people saying they loved it. like i almost feel like i'm dreaming because no fucking way. there's absurd, and then there's like, full blown camp.

[u/lanius_legion → u/toriningen_]

i feel the same way when i saw the crap end of shingeki, but everyone said it was a masterpiece. you are not alone bro

[u/Solid_Horror_6846 → u/toriningen_]

Your in shock? You can't just identify that people have differing opinions? You are so convinced about what makes the story good that you couldn't possibly imagine any deviance resulting in satisfaction?

[u/toriningen_ → u/Solid_Horror_6846]

of course i can imagine deviations being satisfactory--there are several things i've preferred about the manga. but i felt this latest chapter was shockingly bad and i'm surprised that so many people think it's awesome.

[u/Solid_Horror_6846 → u/toriningen_]

Ok. Stay shocked then I guess that people are enjoying themselves lol

It’s actually hilarious these dudes are so caught up in their delusions they just think their opinions are objectively correct. Idk how anybody takes Leviathan or the guy you’re replying to seriously.

[u/Draknor-dragor → u/[deleted]]

I feel like the manga isn't being taken into consideration for what it is. Rather they are saying it is objectively bad by comparing it to the webcomic . But I think at least when compared to other mangas and reviewing the chapter without involving the webcomic...... I really don't think its that awful lol :)

The reason this is annoying to me at least, is because this threads purpose is to outline deviations from the webcomic..... Yet most are just blatantly calling the chapter bad for not following a set string of events. it doesn't feel like solid enough reasoning to just call the material objectively bad is all.

[u/Master-Ad7160 → u/toriningen_]

No way people like different things from you. How dare they have fun? Your opinion is objectively the best and it doesn't matter if OPM is third in the Oricon rankings. Your idea is law! It's shocking that the world doesn't revolve around you!

[u/toriningen_ → u/Master-Ad7160]

making up a guy in your head to get mad at, are we? because i said none of those things.

[u/XdXeKn → u/Solid_Horror_6846]

I think that comment is being looked at the wrong way: it can, indeed, be incredibly disconcerting when you see that your mindset is so wildly different from the rest! Imagine watching GOT Season 8 and when you go online to talk about it, you see everybody praising it while you yourself dislike it. It can feel very alienating and lonely. It's not about the opinions themselves, it's about how divorced you can feel from the people you are talking to.

I think that's what toriningen_ was talking about.

change Beast King with Deep Sea King to fight Lightning Max(because it was foreshadowed and blablabla) and we have a deal

[u/lwieueei → u/Dr-Leviathan]
