Drop your biggest lookism hot takes
Discussiontrue.
PTJ needs to create an arc with current lil Daniel in J high before the end of the series
Because several times Daniel worried about his body in high school.
Lookism Fans Can't read and they argue so much and glaze their favorite characters so much that it makes other people hate that character just like they made me hate gun ๐
Opposite, he just gave one of the biggest community jokes in the first half and then yapped about how hes a peer pressure victim ๐๐
It's True I was yapping but not fully ๐น and I am not peer pressure victims I genuinely sometimes hate gun because of all glazing but don't worry I will start liking him again after 2 or 3 ch ๐ธ
For real, before interacting with the comunity Gun was one of my favorite characters. Now I just want him to lose so they stop yapping
Yes brother sometimes I also think both gun and James needs to lose atleast by a top tier like UI daniel or other if not from 2nd gen so they stop posting posy about glazing
Literally what happened not even 2 minutes ago bc of a TikTok fan ๐ญ
That's why tiktok is banned in my country and I don't have to see their comments and their dumb hot takes powerscaling
Not even a hot take. Everyone agrees with that
Ptj is confused to where he should take Gun's character. Hence why in a chapter we see him fine and then on the next one we get a 180.
truee, he gets hit by jerry and warren's combined CQC and he just laughs it off like what? how is your arm suddenly broken by yuseong???
Tbf yuseong is stronger than both of them, and he literally shattered his own bones trying to break Gun's arm.
yes but it doesn't make sense for gun to take NO damage from it lol, yuseongs AP is not higher than warren and jerry COMBINED using a special technique.
That was a Gun that was 1. Fresh 2. Able to brace himself to actually take damage/take attacks
The Gun that had his arm broken by Yuseung was 1. Tired from Vasco, Zack, and Mandeok (you can include Warren and Jerry if you want but yk) 2. Being held in place and unable to properly guard
Not to mention Yuseung, who we know to be incredibly durable, shattered his own bones to make this attack. That right there should speak to the level of force he used in that attack, likely his strongest attack period
I still stand by the point that gun should at least have a bruise after all of that, I am not asking for warren and jerry to break his bones too.
I understand what you're saying, PTJ didn't really show it well, but there was supposed to be a progression of Gun's fatigue to where we are now. That's why more than one character mentioned that he was tired and that's why he had bruises. But PTJ didn't actually show a good progression of that, they weren't there one chapter then were the next. I think it's just an artistic error tbh
He did take damage
He did take damage, PTJ just didn't show it properly in that chapter where they hit the combo, cause in the chapters after that, they show characters mentioning how he is infact slowly accumulating damage and getting tired.
final arc probably should end starring little daniel to show his growth and not his other body
Lookism would've been much more better if PTJ doesn't listen to his fan base most of the time
jiho is the only mistake he made when listening to his fans tbh
nah, they rushed him on writing 1A and Cheonliang and essentially had to combine the two storylines instead of fleshing it out bc people were getting bored
I think there's more behind the scenes that we don't know about, like the fact the fact that there's more fighting and action than proper development to the story in most of these recent arcs.
Another take
Characters like Tom, Gun, Goo and such top tiers will always remain nigh equal, one top tier simply can never dominate, PTJ won't let that happen
Awhh that's so sweet of you
To me seongji ji feel like a character that was made to be loved he was there to fit a role and that's why it's not one of my characters but yeah he is a good character
Gangism is not has bad as some say, you could see from the start that Lookism was gonna become very fight oriented but PTJ spent the first hundred chapters setting up the characters.
Well yeah but i think most of the people are mad because of low effort fights, it's like there is fight every fucking chapter which is boring as hell
I agree with this
Ptj should bring the strongest character Goo and yenna
Vin Jin can beat the entire lookism and the only reason he hasnโt is because heโs a kind person
cooking too much rn
It's very possible that eli dies
rn theres no concrete evidence backing that up
Olly made hostel arc goated, without him it would be good at best. He carried the arc by being such a good character
The arc literally revolved around olly and eli's dynamic tho.
Eli was massivly out shadowd by olly and wasnt that likable in this ark(he got better in later arks for me). As well as heather being unlikable(she is usless and annoying). Olly carried the ark and made it way more enjoyable.
Seeing olly obsess over eli and then realise that isnt what he wanted was peak.
The "what kind of beast is scared of an animaL weaker than it" panel is still one of my favourites.
In short olly made the ark good the other characters were meh.
Every character should get therapy in the spin off .
I Just wanna see gun vs James lee
James Lee v UI Daniel(big or small)
Lookism isn't gangism or a manhwa about looks, it's a manhwa actually about "what not to do as a father so your son wouldn't get involved in fvked up shits"
Fr Lookism has the bad dads and Manager Kim has the good dads
PTJ telling us what to do (manager kim) and what not to do (lookism)
Jiho had good character development
Tom lee isnโt a pedo
Guy doesn't mean to get nude infront of young boys.ย He just abhors getting blood on a nice clean suit
Another hot take that jichang is an underrated character and is above other kings
He not above seonfji or giate
Everyones so...hot.
Ptj failed to execute vin jin. So much potential lost.his story is all over the place.
Yenna solos the verse
Gapryong is the pinnacle of the verse and heโd beat SB Daniel (my goat โค๏ธ)
gapryong will probably get a conviction amp and ui daniel won't be able to adapt fast enough lol..
Vasco had the potential to be one of the best characters, and PTJ just screwed him up
Power scaling/over ranking/ under ranking or calling characters a fraud and general toxicity is more annoying then a ruined timeline boring chapters or anything else
PTJ rushed the Cheongliang arc . So much that even though both Seongji and Sinu were The best characters, PTJ failed to make Seongji great like Sinu due to the lack of interactions with the fam .
PTJ should stop d**k riding crew heads
Also,he should give proper lime light to Hudson and Kwak Brothers.
He is not dick riding anyone, its just that their character is more important to the story. You can't really give hudson spotlight when he has nothing against gun and charles lol but I want ptj to give some love to kwak brothers.
I agree here, I think at this point of the story you can't really be adding more characters and try to balance the spotlight between the new and the old. Plus the power bridge is huge and it wouldn't really make sense since if you add someone new the main question would be "Why wasn't he helping? Where was he during this mayor event on his region?"
Taehoon from how to fight is old tom lee level (im tekka brother)
Tekka the most reliable powerscaler!!!
Seeing powerscalers is entertaining as hell. It's like watching a car crash every single time.
Word. It's a big ol mess, but I can't Look Away.
They have a whole 21 replies conversation and it just shifts to another topic to another until one gives up.
PTJ should have at the bare minimum left a bit of a slice of life on the story. I don't ask full on arcs or something like before butI want something like little Daniel family reunion or something to flesh out other characters before big arcs. Something that's easily digestible and could make us enjoy those characters a bit more.
Like imagine a small 2 chapters of Vasco and the burning knuckles either reflecting on how much they have changed or just them having some shenanigans related to what's Been happening.
Or hostel having some family interactions and relaxing before guns hunt like a family and having some small shenanigans
Or do something with Jay and Big Daniel, maybe flesh out their friendship a bit more and how lonely Jay feels ( just flesh out this relationship a bit more instead of just having it as fan service and make it feel better)
It would have help PTJ to give us some light hearted things and also give him time to think how he is gonna handle things
Characters like Gun and Goo are even worse than Logan, but who gets more hate? Of course Logan because he is ugly and Gun and Goo are not
(Stop the b*t*h ass line "oH gUn ToLd ThEm To NoT dO aNyThInG iLlEgAl", no son, he just told them to not get caught by the police, like how he approved of Olly's Idea, shit was one of the most illegal thing but it was so smart that they won't get caught by the police)
Proves that looks determine almost everything
Gun and Goo's actions are unrealistic compared to Logan's actions, which while exaggerated, are much more prevalent in real life and thus have been seen or sadly experienced by people, and thus they can understand Daniel's (victim) viewpoint alot better.
Also yeah everyone is a lookist.
Fr, Logan is almost saint compared to his crewmates Samuel and Taejin. Also people hate Taejin but love Samuel but Samuel did some shady sht too ( One MC forced underage girls to do prn streams ). And it's all because Samuel is hot and has great body
ptj is a genius, exposing the reader's lookism
True, but human beings are biologically designed to determine people based on looks.
PTJ knows what he did there. Lookism for a reason. But yeh I agree.
PTJ has 0 idea about how to write a good backstory for the second body thats why he always has jinyoung have like PTSD in the moments where we think hes gonna talk about the SB just to give himself(PTJ) more time to even think of an SB backstory and how it all links to people like charles, crystal, jinyoung, the protagonist
I don't think jiho has any potential to begin with and was glad that ptj ended him .
To me he was just a pathetic nobody who valued no one but himself and was now whining when karma caught up to him.
Yea I will die on this hill (I am not Korean btw)
karma caught up to him
got r*ped in juvie
Nah dawg, heโs the most realistic human being in Lookism. He just wanted to become tall, handsome and become a model unlike other characters who form fight underage children for a living
Remember he also tried to kill his friend
The very friend who always tried his best to help him whenever he gets in trouble.
There are many languages In the world but you choose to speak facts ๐
Great minds think alike
Eli > Johan >> Samuel > Jake
(Not talking in terms of power)
Twink energy?
I was thinking fashion but no way Samuel is below Johan
Gitae Kim is stronger than any version of James Lee
Maybe, but gitae has literally 1 feat so we can't say anything.
Low diffing one of the strongest king with 2, 3 moves with just innate strength is pretty good feat tbh.
DG, who is way out of his prime was toying with J high trio at the same time tho.
Eli is overhated in this sub
Nah I think most of the sub forgave him during his fight against vasco
VASGOAT saving characters
Jinyoung has potential to be one of the best characters in the series once his development and backstory starts and once he recovers from his illness and becomes a mentor to Jake and Daniel.
def, don't know about the mentor tho.
I CANNOT give more than one fuck if a character is a fodder WHY DOES IT MATTER IF THIER WEAK PLEASE GUYS ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฝ
Girls are not drawl well , Ray basically soloes all the girls in looks
johan focusing on gun 100% is justified
Sophia> Ms. Kim.
Some people don't understand, that SB Daniel broke Gun's arm because of "low" power of Gun in the start of Lookism. Retcon massively boost Gun's power
๐ญ
when did the retcon happen, goo fought sb daniel as well alot later
Allied is better than crewheads in terms of enjoyment, jake is the only exception
Gun is the baddest character
PTJ should use more fighting style Martial Arts other than just punching and kicking.(Various types martial arts in series is reason for making me read lookism)
Jichang wouldโve beaten Daniel
While it's true that lookism fans don't read many important details but we shouldn't use that meme every time someone forgets anything. There are 500+ chapters, people might forget some detail or remember them incorrectly
gitae kim is the strongest in lookism rn
No matter what anyone thinks Gitae and James will always remain equal as both are shadowed to be final villains
PTJ should get rid of UI daniel
Minseon>>>>>>Gapryoung
Goo as a character has great potential to be the wild card Villian. If PTJ doesn't ruin it like Jiho , he'd make a great villain. And people should really stop downplaying him.
goo my goat, hope him and gitae don't fight or smth tho lol.
Powerscaling has ruined liking a character on the basis of their personality
Prime James mid diffs Gun
The Cheonliang fam were more interesting than Seongji, it's a shame that nothing was delved into them.
Current lil Daniel is kind of boring, his character peaked when he fought Logan to defend Zoe and his since steadily declined.
most of the relevant gen 2 are highly relative and somebody like eli wouldn't mid diff somebody like jerry or warren (obvious exceptions like gun, goo, and ui Daniel)
The biggest frauds are the Lookism readers. James Lee and Gun are the most recent example for this.Neither James nor Gun are frauds for running. James Lee defeated someone who wouldโve been a high tier within Generation 0, and wouldโve had to fight 5ish? more incredibly strong people. And Gun just fought 600ish? people, and needs the red paper. He practically one shot Zack, Vasco and Jerry and he has an actual reason to flee the flight. Honestly love how Gun was getting glazed so much right before the Hunt for Gun arc began, and now immediately after people are calling him a fraud. The biggest frauds are the lookism community who just want their favorite character to be invincible.
What if the character that Gun is gonna kill is Charles Choi? He is just playing ally to become his sucessor first?
Ptj being peer pressured by his fans to kill jiho was one of the biggest cop outs in writing to the point itโs kinda pathetic literally had the PERFECT foil to Daniel and he just goes โnah fans donโt like him cause uglyโฆ.. I know letโs make the worst arc in the series!โ
Thresholds and mastery are the same things
lil daniel gets glazed the most out of second gen
Zach Lee isnโt as strong as everyone say he is
Nobody is dying. We been hearing this bs for more than two years now.
Not really a big hot take.. but I feel that there should be a lot more women that fight in lookism. I mean girls like Mary, or even ones that are training. And also I feel like crystal Choi should get more screen time.
Without Vin. Duke would've never made it big.
PTJ doesn't care about power scaling so trying to do it is irrelevant.
But my real "hot take" is that the first Johan vs Zack fight is peak lookism. Even though Zack was left in the ground crying, there's more emotion in the fight than 99% of the other moments in gangism.
After rereading lookism (shut up, i was bored) I think the transition from lookism to gangism is pretty gradual and a reader is eased into it. I personally think that people who massively complain about the change are over reacting as if PTJ made daniel fight taesoo in the 3rd arc. They should drop the series if they hate the change so much. If the slice of life was the only thing that made lookism what it is, then The series would've ended in the homeless arc where small danny accepts himself for who he is and fights logan.
Reusing panels is okay
The kings are are currently useless and it would be nice if they help
Gangism is also good but ptj needs time to think and draw stuff, the gun could've been "much" better if he had taken one week break to think and draw stuff in advance before starting the fight
James and Gitae > Gapryong
Goo should have more screen time.
Powerscaling in lookism is about as effective as trying to park a truck blindfolded. It sure is possible, but you can't know whether you've hit the spot or run over the child
Vin Jin should be relative to Zack and Vasco as thatโs how it was mainly shown through out the series. The only reason people rank him low is because of his fans being extremely annoying.
Something else that is crazy is that Vin fans are annoying but they donโt believe the crazy shit that they say. No Vin isnโt at the level of the crewheads yet. People need to be consistent cuz Zack glazers are absolutely wild. People actually believe heโs second in the Gen when people like Sinu, Ryuhei, and Taejin exist.
Lookism fans are genuinely insufferable when they deny reading comprehension in favor of their favorite character.
PTJ really donโt know what heโs doing anymore. Yeah we said it before, but things are only getting worse. Gunโs character is going nowhere and we have a full 180 from him chilling to being very injured. Zack and Vasco come back for small moments then just get forgotten about for the crew members. The timeline was altered during the entire Vin arc but thereโs nothing to show for it. Seongjiโs gone, the first gen kings havenโt come into the story at all, Vin still hasnโt done anything even though it seemed like the story was setting him up to be important. We also just have characters like Jay and Sinu completely left in the dust. Things are just not going anymore.
James lee is overrated
Seongji is a top tier.
Ptj needa go on hiatus to unfry his brain
Zack>>>vasco, Warren, jerry๐คซ๐คซ
Crew heads were always above Allied, not counting Daniel. Vasco and Zack where never on their level to begin with, so people being mad that the crew heads are given more focus then Zack and Vasco in the gun fight is stupid.
Jiho is the greatest written character in ptj verse
Sinu is a hypocrite
Gun let his arm get broken to make his win just that more impressive
claims tbh.
DG/James's dick is just average size. Daniel was surprised to see one that large because he is Korean.
gun is overrated
Cheonliang Jichang and Holiday Jichang against Charles have the same power.
Bloodline Awakened Jake is stronger than animal instinct Eli and Ui Copy Johan.
I agree but if if johan can stay in ui for way longer then johan would be stronger
Mary Kim alongside Vin Jin and Goo should be able to take Gun down, no problem
I don't hate this gangism but there are just too many flaws in this, first of all, most of the protagonists/sub-protagonists are under age students (mainly focusing on J high students), they literally bunk their school for fights and no comments from parents neither from the school authorities. They get all beaten up again and again, panels with them bleeding out too much and getting a lot of physical damage bur never were the parents concerned about their child's well being. They are literally highschool kids getting involved with million dollar corpos. I wish the gangism scene was more like Tokyo Revengers (Anime)
Glazing: This is the glazing done by PTJ, not the fans, because we are lookism fans and we can't read. Let's talk about Jake, bro is like the 2nd protagonist of the series, his father is literally the strongest in the verse according to feats and lore, his brother is cartel leading maniac who he has to fight someday, but because PTJ gonna glaze Gun so much, he feels like he ain't anything at all, we don't need Daniel in uncovering secrets about Gapryong and others, we need Jake, but PTJ has made him so that he can't even uncover those secrets and all.
Ui big Daniel would lose to seongji and isn't a top tier
Jichang is simultaneously the most over and underrated character
Eutard and Mandeok clear Jin Sung and Vasco, and it is not even close. Like, maybe mid diff
PTJ planned out the plot in detail only up until 2A and Sinu's saving. Afterwards, PTJ just wrote with a general idea in mind and didn't think about how details would mess up the story quality.
What ptj is trying to do this arc is replace charles with james. The stocks being trasferred are being transfered to james,not gun as eugene thought . It even fits in better as eugenes line about facing a stronger and younger charles, and explains why james is not there.
Vin jin is second strongest allied member
Goo theory..
In questism there's a girl who uses sword.. GOO family might be from there..
My hot take is that I personally can't read. I'm admitting this so I can work to learn how to read.
Samuel is going to finish gun
We canโt call people we know nothing about (Yamazaki head, gitae, mujin Jin) top tiers because like I said, we know nothing about them.
Goo is currently stronger than gun
Also ptj made a huge mistake killing jiho he should've been one of goos secrets friends
Lookism is no longer about lookism anymore. Just became an entirely separate thing. Now literally everybody is a muscular dude or every chick is a curvy big boobed dumpy. Where is that one dude with a big ole head rapping. Whereโs the girl that used to hit on big daniel, or Zackโs gf, like come on bro. Also Vasco is ass now, he used to be one of the stronger characters, now the dude has learned these Martial arts he has not had a single moment to show for it.
Crystal gotta belong with Lil Daniel. And big Danielโs body should just disappear. Love the fights and gangs. But been going on for 300+ chapters. Need some chivalry back. FUCK ZOE
Ptj is no longer drawing backgrounds for some reason
Ptj should let gun and goo kiss in the next arc
Lookism fans have recency bias except they like to hate instead of favour recent arcs
Lookism would be op Iโd imagine big Daniel just wakes up as a different person and the original body owner is like where am I thought I died haha ๐๐
GIMME GEN 0 ARC
Feats are almost completely irrelevant in this story. Narrative is the most important factor when powerscaling. If it doesnโt make sense narratively then itโs not gonna happen. Other than maybe Jake no one will be stronger than Daniel. Vasco, Vin and Zack will be around the same power from now on and one will not be drastically stronger than the other.
2nd body is an experiment for charles to try and create immortality
This fight made Gun lose all his aura. The beauty of Gun beforehand was that he was strong but still not infallible and was capable of being hurt, seeing him neg several people who injured him before seems cheap and like a way to drag out the series.
Lookism used to be a social commentary on how looks is everything, and some other issues. Now, it's just a gang fight without message behind it
If would be way better than if PTJ didn't kill Jiho and made him one of the big villains for later arcs, maybe becoming the parallel of Daniel, being trained by Goo instead of Gun, seeing his body grow stronger just like how Daniel has grow when he started training with Gun and becoming Goo's secret friend.
taesoo obliterate jichang
Lookism fans can't accept the fact that people love Gun and Goo because they are bada$$ and entertaining and it's the most obvious reason why people read lookism, it's for entertainment purposes. People didn't hate Logan because his ugly but because he irritated the readers. If people want to hate someone for their crimes than go watch some documentary or $hit but obviously not lookism
