Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 10hA bus hijacker with a knife starts toying with his captives, demanding that they provide an answer for why they believe killing is wrong. Totonou takes him up on the thought exercise, going on a nine page & counting monologue about the ethics of killing that makes the hijacker regret he ever asked. 312323

Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Ultraman Tiga, "On the Night of Halloween": in which Tiga meets an alien in a wicked witch costume who feeds on children's dreams. Highlights are an underground jack'o lantern ship holographically disguised as a haunted house & a kaiju fight in a mini cemetery with a pumpkin moon in the background. 111538

Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I'm overwhelmingly fond of kaiju suits that think outside of the humanoid box, like Pestar (two suit actors holding hands) or Twin Tail (face by the feet, performer sees out of the tail). 15404112
Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026My favorite panel in the Wolverine debut comic is Hulk feeling awkward and having no idea what else to say to the violent little man after they knocked out a Wendigo together. 38117

Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Did someone advise Tsuburaya that they were risking a lawsuit from Big Critter if they didn't localize their own creatures as Clitter? Gazort's mouth and the "many clumped into one" gimmick are superficially similar enough that it's one of the only reasons I can see for tripling down on Clitters. 3333
Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I thought this Tiga ultrakaiju being named Gazort would be the funniest thing about it, until the subtitles repeatedly informed me that it was a fusion of lifeforms known as the Clitters. 421874

Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Watching the excellent Summoning Salt video on the Classic Tetris 2018 World Championships when suddenly the late, great multi-time champ Jonas Neubauer goes into a big match making the exaggeratedly goofy kind of face you usually only see Kenny Omega pull at the top of a Tokyo Dome ramp. 36611
Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Malibu comics Street Fighter is an all-timer because Sagat murders Ken in issue 2, leaves his scalp for Ryu to find, and then the series abruptly ends with an epilogue page informing the readership that the series is over because Capcom hated it. 13384152

Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The idea that none of this kids' classmates have ever noticed that he's insanely jacked because he has a baby face and wears a school uniform is the most hilarious suspension of disbelief thing in Kengan Asura so far. 2670
Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I didn't have the quarters or the patience to achieve it in '92, so for the first time in my life I can claim with pride that I am THE SUPREME MORTAL KOMBAT WARRIOR! 1340
Minovsky @minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I know Mortal Kombat inputs have always been like that, but transcribing a 360 rotation to do Kano's Blanka Ball as Right, Down, Left, Up, Right still feels more obtuse than it needs to be. 4302
