Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Personally this is a style of video that resonates with me as a viewer. This along with videos that feel hopeful, inspiring, or spur curiosity to check out the book for myself. Your One Piece video was a video that checked-off these boxes imo 020
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Feels like a lot of multi-card combo decks fall under this idea, but Unchained comes to mind The deck’s lines are so dependent on the desired endboard that a careless misplay could be the diff between a multi-layered endboard with 7+ disruptions and a weak field that loses to a single board breaker 000

Reposted by Mel (Nu Comics)Alex de Campi @alexdecampi.bsky.social · 19/07/2025The Eternaut (Oesterheld/Breccia) is one of the greatest comics ever created. It was created in a time of rising political dictatorship and its author was “disappeared” a few years later. I beg you to go and read it. It is the last story on earth that should have gotten the AI slop treatment. 181524594

Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/2024And realizing that this is an untapped lens of interpretation for the series just kind of “engages” me, you know? I’m curious now! I want to see what other people gleam from the character and the series by viewing them through this lens of mental health and analysis! Maybe one day I’ll do it 🤷🏽♂️media.tenor.coma woman in a white dress is flying through the skyALT: a woman in a white dress is flying through the sky 000
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/2024And not to speak backhandedly about dissociation as a coping mechanism for a liberating moment of peace (people suffering through difficult mental heath have to do what they have to do), but I just think it’s interesting that I couldn’t find a single comment speaking on this element of Shinpei… 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Shinpei’s time-traveling is almost heralded as something to look up to for all the self-sacrifice he makes by undergoing each leap But from the lens of mental health, it can also be seen as a child dissociating to escape the larger issues he’s avoiding… he’s just choosing one battle over another.media.tenor.coma close up of a person 's face in a dark room with their hand on their face .ALT: a close up of a person 's face in a dark room with their hand on their face . 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/2024If I’m recalling correctly, the most that the series touches on this is a line where a friend acknowledges that Shinpei hasn’t slept in the past 7 or 8 time loops he’s gone through because he’s constantly had to operate in a state of survival mode… but that’s allmedia.tenor.coma close up of a man 's face in front of a green bannerALT: a close up of a man 's face in front of a green banner 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/2024As en educator, when I see somebody like Shinpei try to “remove themselves” from their feeling instead of processing them… I see a hurt human who has had to mature at a rapid rate for the sake of survival… and it hurts to see that in another person And yet the series rarely touches on this…media.tenor.coma man is standing in the middle of a pile of dirt in a dark room .ALT: a man is standing in the middle of a pile of dirt in a dark room . 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Seeing as how the death of his best friend is one of the first things we learn about Shinpei (as it’s his entire reason for returning home), it paints him as a character suffering from unresolved trauma at the moment. We later learn he is in fact suffering from SEVERAL layers of unresolved trauma…media.tenor.coma man with blue eyes is talking on a cellphoneALT: a man with blue eyes is talking on a cellphone 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Shinpei (like many popular anime protagonists) is just a teenager. And I’m not going to filibuster about “omg, could you imagine if a kid really went through this?!” But Shinpei is framed as a down-to-earth boy who is struggling to process his feelings — particularly the passing of his best friend…media.tenor.coma close up of a person crying with a tear coming out of their eyeALT: a close up of a person crying with a tear coming out of their eye 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/2024…I think there’s a lot of depth to be discovered by viewing his words NOT as a stoic line about the need to be objective and level-headed in times as stress, and more as an almost desperate cry for help from a teenage boy who is trying to process several layers of trauma & grief…media.tenor.coma close up of a person 's face with blue eyes and black hairALT: a close up of a person 's face with blue eyes and black hair 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/2024To be a little more fair to the series, the “bird’s eye view” catchphrase by the main character (Shinpei) alludes to his supernatural ability to ascend to a higher dimension to travel across time. I’ve read from others online insisting that this is why he repeats the line so much, but…media.tenor.coma close up of a person 's face with blue eyes and a blue background .ALT: a close up of a person 's face with blue eyes and a blue background . 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 11/12/202410. My partner & I recently watched Summer Time Rendering, and there’s a particular theme of the protagonist repeating “I need to take a step back and get the bird’s eye view” It was a charming little quirk at first, but as the series was coming to a close… it just kind of hit me as “dissociation”media.tenor.coma close up of a person 's face with a monster on his headALT: a close up of a person 's face with a monster on his head 110
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 10/12/2024The film is brimming with scenes, art, and even characters that show the audience that it not only cares about Latinx culture, but it really KNOWS the history behind the culture as well… and I’m so thankful this film got made ✨media.tenor.coma blue light is coming out of a sphere in the darkALT: a blue light is coming out of a sphere in the dark 000
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 10/12/2024…and if pop culture media and characters are the vehicle for others see that greatness, then so be it! Teach others about Lat-Am history and heroes through comic book characters! But let those characters be people who can really REPRESENT the very same culture and all of its legacy… 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Instead, the small scene felt inspiring and empowering… I wanted to see the recognition that my culture comes from greatness — that it comes from beautiful art, epic stories, and commanding icons. I wanted the world to see a FRACTION of the greatness that I know Latinx culture carries… 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I usually resent the “Mesoamerican-contact-with-aliens” trope for the backhandedly racist colonialism it carries, BUT there was so much thought & consideration behind the scenes of the film that I could tell it wouldn’t dare to try and make a joke out of deeply personal culture like that… 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I remember watching the film in theaters and as the opening credits played, there were scenes of a mesoamerican-inspired glyph of the scarab as it would have been interpreted by indigenous cultures in Central America, and there was just something about its portrayal that struck a chord with me… 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 10/12/20249. God, Blue Beetle was such a nice movie It had no business being so sweet and heartfelt as a love letter to Latinx culture, comics, & community It was really HERE and it left nothing but inspiration for the millions of Latinx viewers who’ve gotten the chance to see themselves and their history…media.tenor.coma man in a blue suit is standing in a room with a woman and a man standing behind himALT: a man in a blue suit is standing in a room with a woman and a man standing behind him 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024But as the anime adaptation of TYBW continues to repair some of the weaker parts of the original manga, I look forward to the ways it continues to provide layers of interpretation to the characters and their roles in the overall plot of the storymedia.tenor.coma man in a blue hoodie stands in front of a cityALT: a man in a blue hoodie stands in front of a city 000
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Fans have often complained about the failings of TYBW arc of the manga, and one of them being that “villain motivation” largely took a back seat to “power scaling” & “action sequences” in the final chapters (understandably so due to the rushed efforts to finish the series) 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Again, the manga and anime haven’t put in the work to really depict Yhwach as anything relating to Christ save for his relationship as son to the Soul King, but the opening sequence to Cour 3 certainly offers viewers a new dimension of depth to the character that I very much wish was more in-canonmedia.tenor.coma man with long hair and a beard is standing in front of a blue backgroundALT: a man with long hair and a beard is standing in front of a blue background 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024So I would like to put forth that Without Any Words can carry a double-meaning wherein it can be read as the laments of Yhwach himself — which paints him as an antithetical Christ who resents his father and the world he’s made rather than one who wants to sacrifice himself to save it…media.tenor.coma close up of a person 's face with a purple backgroundALT: a close up of a person 's face with a purple background 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Given that Cour 3 sees Yhwach’s execution of his plan to dethrone the Soul King, I would argue that Cour 3 is really following Yhwach as a character above all the others Episode 2 in particular sees a young Yhwach as his father is cut into pieces to become the Soul King as tears fall upon his facemedia.tenor.coma close up of a person 's face with a purple backgroundALT: a close up of a person 's face with a purple background 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Neither the manga nor the anime choose to explore the character as such, but Yhwach as the son of the Soul King can be read as an alternate take to the “Christ-like character” trope through his relationship to the “God” of the world of Bleachmedia.tenor.comit seems you 're awake written on the bottom of a screenALT: it seems you 're awake written on the bottom of a screen 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024But the choice of the word “God” over “Fate” struck such a chord for me when I listened to Spanish covers because it completely reinterpreted how I came to view the character of Yhwach through such a simple word choice (which is part of what needs to be considered when translating a work)media.tenor.coma man with long hair and a mustache looks at the cameraALT: a man with long hair and a mustache looks at the camera 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024I don’t doubt that there’s a level of cultural nuance to this discussion wherein we can argue both sides of the aisle, or even say that Japanese elements of religion and faith transcend the binary that comes with a “Fate” vs “God” distinction… 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024This distinction is such a big deal because it colors the entire interpretation of the speaker’s lyrical laments. The entire song is framed as a prayer that the speaker is giving, and to say whether it’s a prayer to “Fate” vs “God” deeply affects the listener’s understanding of the speaker’s plight 100
Mel (Nu Comics) @nucomics.bsky.social · 09/12/2024I’m not usually one to have complaints about anime/manga as it’s translated abroad, but the official subtitles given to the opening sequence’s lyrics seem to take quite a few liberties with the meaning of some parts of the song’s message — particularly the decision to use the word “Fate” over “God” 100
