People/MC in fiction that fight but keep both hands in pants pockets the whole time.

[Deleted member 1244]

Is that cool and badass to you?

Or

Is it cringy and pompous?

 

[Cipiteca396]

It's more funny than anything, really.

 

[Cannight]

Depends on the aura they exude, really. Generally putting a handicap on yourself (assuming you don't throw hands) means you're either confident you'll win or overly cocky. Most of the time I've seen the former be used more

For me it's cool.

Sometimes it's in a medieval manga where the mc is wearing plate armor that probably have no pants pockets since its chain mail!

Which makes it even more hilarious, because the mc is just pretending to have pockets to look nonchalant.

Imagine if they slipped on a banana.

Also, those kinds of characters was usually designed to either bites the dust or have actual skill.

 

[AmeronWerschrux]

Depends on the power and the aura of the character. It could go either way

Meanwhile, the badass ACCELERATOR :

It's 50/50

Some characters get an aura boost while others are seen as clowns.

 

[Vnator]

Honestly, it sounds hilarous!

 

[Tempokai]

If it's done to a character that was just introduced it's lame. You don't know him and he's acting like a clown, which is both good and bad considering whatever scene is in. When the character who's been there at least for a while does it, it shows coolness, like, "look, i can defeat that dude without my hands because he's weak/i got strong".

Add third option, both.

 

[FluffyGura]

Idk just seem like a disrespectful move to the opponent, so lame ig?

What if it's intended to be disrespectful?

 

[GlassRose]

Depends. If the one doing it is using magic and doesn't need their hands, it's cool. If they are showing off to make a point by just dodging attacks to school an arrogant young'un who thinks they're top shit, it's cool.

If they're actually fighting like that, and throwing kicks or whatever, it's stupid bullshit, arms are necessary for balance if you're gonna be throwing kicks. And generally kicks are worse than punches anyway because they leave you balancing on one foot, making it easy to knock you down, and hard for you to disengage.

 

[ThrillingHuman]

It's weird when people walk like that, let alone fight

 

[Deleted member 1244]

I am a bit on the fence I guess... but sometimes the MC is talking in mid-air too

I guess I am just noticing it a lot more lately

people getting kicked

People stomping around with massive feet

Hadn't noticed it as much before.

 

[Deleted member 84247]

Basically how I look when I beat up @ElliePorter

Then the character is not a likable character, of course if the character himself is the villain then it would suit him.

Webtoon. It's their excuse to avoid drawing fingers.

You know what? That makes a lot of sense.

Most of the backgrounds, food, even clothing are 3D stocks from indepedent artists.
