Return of the Vainglorious

Hey, Bob!



I take from your set that you read Vagabond? How do you like it compared to your favorite series? It always piqued my interest due to the phenomenal ratings. But it has over 300 chapters, which kinda scares me. And if my memory serves me right, the author takes many breaks, is that right?

Shouldn't scare you - it's pretty good all the way through.

But aye, the wait is somewhat painful

Oh, you read it, too? Thanks for the information. How "bad" are the breaks? Like, how many chapters were released this year? Is there some kind of hiatus chart like the one you can find for Hunter x Hunter? I'm not sure if I really want to follow a series - as great as it may be - who suffers from a lot of breaks for whatever reason.

Vagabond has been on hiatus for some time if I'm not mistaken. An indefinite one by all accounts. I've begun to read it but I haven't found much time to continue it.

Pfft, finally .

Well, you have to remember that it has 300 chapters over the same course that OP has 800+, so catching up won't be a problem. As to its breaks, there aren't many as much as they are extensive; the last chapter was released in 2015 I think and there hasn't been any information as to when it'll return or what Inoue is doing at the moment.

In terms of comparison, I love Vagabond as much as OP. Vagabond can get quite graphic but its a reflection of the times the series takes place in and it is realistic. Plus SAMURAIS!!!

Just read it, the story is amazing and seeing how Musashi grows as the story unfolds is one of the highlights of it.

How was your holiday in Romania, Mr Bob? It seemed really fun

How was your holiday in Romania, Mr Bob? It seemed really fun

Oh yes, I forgot I had you on there...

It was awesome, just nice to be somewhere hot without worrying about rain. Didn't get to see some friends that I wanted to, so that was the only downside of it.

 

[goldb]

@DiMaria Yesta did I also see that you went to see Transformers? You seemed to have had some fun yourself too...

Did you go to some fancy restaurant and find some fantastic food?

Yes, it was awesome even though the pace was so fast. This Friday I am gonna watch Spiderman Homecoming.

Nothing particularly fancy, I tried a bunch of local foods but for the most part, my friends' mum made us dinner every night or we just ate at bars when we travelled to other cities.

I don't even have that many food pics. This is a first.

Ah I saw Homecoming last night; it was very good.

How was the after credits scene?

How was the after credits scene?

There's two:

Spoiler

First one is with the Vulture in prison, and he encounters one of his criminal associates who tells him that he heard that Vulture knew Spiderman's secret identity. Vulture replies "if I knew who he was, he'd be dead", then he gets called to meet his family.

Second one is a PSA from Cap about patience but then speaks to someone off screen and asks "how many of these do I have to do". It's really funny and play on those people that sit and wait for after credit scenes

I read that the last one will be included as a bonus for the DVD/Blu-ray although there will be a lot more of them.

I'm not surprised. Basically there's one for every lesson or possible school scenario I think.

Spoiler

There is supposed to be one about the importance of brushing your teeth

Do you know if that is shown during the film or not? I can't remember that...

 

[riki]

It's going to be in the blu-ray as a bonus

[goldb]

That's actually pretty cool; I'd love to see it all when it's released.

 

[Spirit]

Is Homecoming worth watching Bob? Spidey has changed actors so often that I'm a little skeptical now.

 

[goldb]

Yes it is, even if it's just to come to your own conclusions about which version of the character is better.
