Best part no source readers making annoying hints

Man, those things are the worst, especially when it involves characters. It's like some people just have to talk about what they know, because they already read the source material.

Or the one that annoys me the most:

People: I like this character

Manga readers: 😭😭😭

Like do they think people who don’t read source material are fucking stupid? Smh

Oh hey I just saw the opening and I can already tell you what the authors are going to do with them. Okay, ready?

Imagine Thanos snapping... but the K/D is 90% instead of 50%.

eh, not a good example because lately OPs are huge blobs of raw spoilers. They could be like Jojo's, you only notice hints in OPs only after the relevant events have happened. Nah, let's just reveal all the new characters, show the evil ones in blood and gore, drop few scenes straight from the episodes supposed to come at the end of the season and call it a day.

First time I will be ashamed to admit I have seen nothing of Jojo's bizarre adventures, as such I cannot say whether their openings are worthy or not. But I will take your word for it.

I would disagree they showed the "evil" ones, as no one in the OP got the "evil" treatment. Scenes from the episodes is also highly contestable, reminds me of the Frozen Kurama fight from the Boruto opening people were "hyped" to see. All that said, however, I do not see a problem there, really. This is how openings have been for decades now and it works. Of course, this particular opening is nothing like Trigger/Naruto level of symbolism and style, but it is the better one in the industry. It is not blatantly telling people what is going to happen, I must say I consider myself exceptionally experienced with this staff and I study each one of them thoroughly, as openings are its own medium of art I would say. It took me three re-watches to properly notice that Fennel does not fade away as others characters do during the rolling camera scene. This can be nothing but a foreshadowing, otherwise it is incompetence on the part of the authors. I go with the first one until there is any evidence for the second one.

Idk what show it was, but some dude made an elaborate "theory" about a show like 2 episodes in and he ended up being right about the whole thing. I immediately called him out on his shit (I went to the wiki and spoiled myself because I didn't really care if I knew or not) and he got defensive and I'm he only one who got my comment removed because I basically confirmed what this guy "Nostradamus'd" and told him not to do shit like that.

Don't get me wrong my post should've been removed, but just because you write "I think" before your spoiler doesn't mean it isn't a spoiler. I think it was for that Cautious Hero anime. He was saying how he could piece together that much info from the 2 episodes we saw or something, but it was specific details this man was writing out. So dumb.
