In this episode of the Game Dads Podcast, we dive deep into the world of plot armor in anime, dissecting its presence and impact on popular series like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, and Dragon Ball Z. Our hosts passionately debate whether plot armor is a storytelling necessity or a narrative crutch.
We also explore the resurgence of handheld gaming, discussing the Steam Deck, Switch, and other portable consoles. As gaming dads, we reflect on the importance of handhelds in our lives and how they fit into our busy schedules.
Additionally, we share our thoughts on buddy cop movies, with a focus on the Bad Boys franchise, and ponder the future of action films. Tune in for a blend of gaming insights, anime analysis, and a touch of Hollywood chatter.
