Looks good! If they are including Gaia than hopefully they will have more information or scenes from the Titanomachy. Interesting to see Hades and Persephone as a scheming duo.

My take:

  • From a character development standpoint this was a great episode for Mark and Debbie in particular
  • Tbh the battle with Angstrom Levy was kinda tedious and boring, the show has had much better fights and final battles
  • Though the exploration of the multiverse was decently interesting
  • Mark leaving the desert was resolved like way too quick and easy
  • Mark carrying a lot of stress and trauma moving forward will be interesting. The montage while flying was great.
  • Ready for Eve and Mark at some point

@tektonic Let me know if anything looks wrong and I'll change it. You already know it will be a while before I can post so if you want to start, feel free, but if you want to wait on me that's more than fine.

I'm relatively fine either way regardless who goes first. Though I'm not sure if posting early is a good idea since we are a month away from actual exchanges, but I'll consider it.

My Review:

Anthp2000:

No Caption Provided

Strengths:

  • Very detailed posts, which I’ve always considered a prerequisite for CaV’s
  • Strong opener to introduce Lin
  • Usage of secondary sources was complimentary early on
  • Good critical analysis of fight sequences(to an extent)

Weaknesses:

Agreeing with @cocacolaman on some of your points. Quite a few bizarre claims:

  • Suyin had “rested” based on a fraction of a few frames
  • Suyin was suffering from imprisonment
  • Using a mech obviously screeching against the ground as a theory that Lin was secretly earthbending
  • Downplaying Bolin and Korra
  • Claiming Kuvira’s fights weren’t fair intentionally
  • Exaggerating minor dramatic poses

Arcus1:

Strengths:

  • Claims are more grounded and reasonable
  • Reinforced Kuvira’s stature well with author/artist intent
  • Counters for certain claims like the cart power argument, throw, and dramatic license were consistently strong through-out the CaV, with a good handle on martial arts

Weaknesses:

  • Lack of scrutiny of your opponent's character
    • Where is the scrutinization of all of Lin’s fights? This put you on the defensive more often than not
  • Not enough detail on Kuvira’s bending capabilities from the onset of your opener.
    • I would have liked to see the nuances you brought up in your final post actually introduced from the beginning
  • Expected more usage of secondary resources, that were being included too late
  • Posts are shorter, but that leaves important points uncontested, though you seem to be busy in RL so that could be a factor

Conclusion

Reasonably good CaV, ultimately I will have to(begrudgingly lol) give my vote to @anthp2000. I think your posts had more work put into them, and covered a lot, even though I don’t agree with quite a few claims. Certainly represented Lin to the best of your ability. @arcus1 also did really well, with some strong counters. Great job to both.
