God, the recent Hobbit movie really gave these Dwarves +20lvls for this module, didn't they?
Like, in his first arc, he gets some pretty strong moments.
Also, it’s reslly hard to sell Zenitsu’s strong moments, because he literally sleeps through them and they don’t impact his character when he’s awake.
No, it's just the first hit on youtube I found of that scene. They added the music.
Also I haven't seen the anime and watched that clip, so I had no idea Sogeking is a newtype. That's rad.

he's just not likable when he's introduced
He's not as over the top about it as Zenitsu though I think? It's been a while (yes, I know this is understatement). Also, he's not written as being completely dead weight most of the time like Zenitsu. One strong point of One Piece's writing is that all of the weaker crew members have (useful) things they're very good at besides fighting.

Digimon tho....
Its a shame about the.....rest of Tri
yeah, and my only hot take re: the hobbit movies is that this was a good decision
them not being completely useless was one of the few good things
listen I love The Hobbit but there are some choices therein that are extremely frustrating
I kind of prefer something in-between? I'm gonna use some weird analogies here, but bear with me.
In the early Venture Bros. stuff, episodes tended to go back and forth on whether Doctor Venture was genuinely hopeless, or as capable as people expect but just too much of an irresponsible headcase to reliably put it to good use. I think the latter interpretation is a lot more entertaining? Consider the American version of the Office; there's two takes on Michael Scott, one is someone who's so insecure and desperate to be liked and respected that he's insufferable, and then there's the unhinged madman idiot version of the character. The first is relatable in a "there but for the grace of God go I" way, and the latter is the kind of 'lolrandom!" humor that doesn't really hold up past the initial shock of their antics.
So those are both humor examples, but I think it extends to other kinds of narrative as well. Characters who are just useless aren't very compelling to watch or read about, whereas characters who are inept because of personality flaws they may or may not overcome (depending on the style and message of the work) are.
I like the idea of the dwarves being genuinely capable enough to merit their boldness and boasting, yet also in way over their heads and too blinded by patriotism and revanchism to see it.
Yeah about that:
(Though it was made in Hungary so technically not an Anime, but the influences are very clear).
it was confirmed for a season 2, no date set

I mean, there's a lot to read into the development of the hobbit, but what's core to the story is that Bilbo is a child-sized everyman going on a magnificent adventure. It was written for children, so giving them a character they could identify with and emulate is what drives those decisions. Bumbling adults are there for them to save and other more capable adults are there to save them and both provide ethical lessons. Any read that doesn't start with that core premise is approaching the novel unfairly imo.
