Wellman

I actually watched that Darkstalkers show... Can't remember much but thinking the US Mega Man cartoon was better than it because the kid main character was lame.

I have seen both films via streaming with my nephew, but this may get me to watch it in theaters.

Dan Slott became a MAJOR POS once he got on Amazing Spider-Man to the point that I pretty much avoided anything with his name on it from then on. With that said, is his Spider-Verse stuff good?

 

-----

Damn I am like three episodes behind everyone in '97 but I will try to catch up this weekend.

The first Spider Verse is ok, most of the good comes from the characters the plot is kind of meh. Spider Geddon is better but also written by someone else. 

Have not read the last one that I think Slott did. The End of Spider Verse or something like that.

I didn't know she was that stacked 😮

 

Yeah it is surprising how many attractive folks are voice actors. 

Tara definitely was one I was surprised about when I first saw.

This was another instance of Dan Slott being an insufferable cunt by systematically trying to undo everything Hickman did with the F4. 
 

Same with why Doom “had to” become a villain again after Bendis’ Infamous Iron Man run. 

I used to love Dan Slott, but once he got on the flagship books he got so meh, outside of Spider Verse and the Superior Spider-Man sagas. And Spider Verse mostly gets the pass because of the guest stars/cameos/Easter eggs then later the movies.

Bomani podcast got me cracking up over J. Cole apologizing. I don't agree with his take but I understand why he is upset and dislikes it

Well a lot of people also don’t realize that the Starship Troopers movie is making fun of that as well so take that as you will.

Yeah, it is the same stuff with the first RoboCop, which is the same director. Funny how HD2 and the RoboCop Rogue City game came out so close to one another.

Didn't realize you needed Pokemon transporter downloaded to move Pokemon from the older game to the Pokemon Box to move them to Pokemon Home... Sould have downloaded that shit last year when I had the chance found my version of Pokemon White I used back in the day (at launch I was playing it and SSF4 for months) still worked and I caught like 300 Pokemon.

A discussion, in the wake of Stellar Blade I assume,  spiraling how those BB two characters have awful designs, plus that they are under 18 but

some say their ages are never revealed.

One of the critics defends the design of Angel from KOF because unlike Makoto and Mai, Angel is cool because she's a
"unironic killer". I don't know what that means, I don't know the KOF lore.

A date is thrown (a date that should not be named) regarding Bridget; The day he was born or decided to identify as a trans woman, not sure.
And mainly people being thankful BB is small so that the publisher won't feel shamed and pressured into modifying the characters' designs.

 

 

I do feel with age I want my female characters to wear more. Love Dolores in KOF XV but y do think the excessive skin is too much.

That being said I love the characters like Makoto and Angel because they are fun both in personality traits and the way they play. Although BlazBlue is a dormant franchise so why they bringing it in on this seems unnecessary. Besides  game characters especially fighting games (not named Virtua Fighter) are meant to be outlandish designs.

I mean it comes down to two things. 

1st. Synergy. X Men 97 is massively different from Krakoa and comic editors/executives are always seeking to feed on that synergy even if it doesn't work.

The 2nd. Brev is a old blood. Not sure why he is being given this gig besides he has already did the cycle on every other major comic group. He isn't about pushing boundaries, he will let writers do that within a simple status quo but he really doesn't want to handle a wider universe or effect it. 

All this means... It might be good but the majority is probably retreading familiar ground.

Even as a dad Pete is going to be Pete

I hate damn near every episode of the last season due to the animation style but that last episode was moving as hell.

I tried that before when I was younger and damn near fell on my face. Also this got me remembering there was area in the NES Batman game where you had to do that which always gave me trouble. The Mega Man X wall jump with cling slide was much better

It does. I think it was a mistake to undo the age of Krakoa.

 

But, hey, that's one of the best uniforms Jubilee has worn lately.

I get the reasoning but to completely undo it seems short sighted. You can pull back while leaving some things from that run to build on. But it's not a surprise given who is involved. Still hope some of the other creatives can make a diamond out of the coal.

Honestly, I don't care that dude said this. The concerning thing to me is how thin skinned people are. People are getting salty about this. This is "1st world problems" personified.  So what. Gaming is bigger than Hollywood. It's not some niche industry that's being "punched down" on. 

Yeah but sadly thinned skin reactions are the norm, shit it is fueling multiple political and social organizations in this world usually for the worst. 

And just for future prosperity and I am mostly referring to conservative snowflakes who like to use their comfort or children's feelings as weapons against progress and equality.

I don't understand why the Switch is always such a bitch to port games to. I get that they aren't always going to run perfectly especially if they're multiplatform games that run on higher spec platforms, but it isn't like this is a new thing and it seems to happen constantly. Is there just no beta testing going on anymore? It's like the PS3 all over again.

I mean the guts of the Switch were old even before it was released, but it isn't that hard to get it to work decently. Could be the usual story where they just focused on the current gen platforms and left the Switch port as a project to a less experienced team to handle. A stupid decision give the Switch's market size plus it's retro home cred but sometimes that happens. 

RIP, can't believe he is gone, eternally grateful for a world his imagination was allowed to foster and help grow many great stories 

Love Zaheer he is my favorite villain outside of Azula in the whole franchise.

But yeah, against a air bender with decades of experience and hands on training he got put in his place. I mean if I suddenly had the athletic talent of a NBA player in their prime and challenged an aging but still active one to a pick up game, skill will win most of the time

Random, but does one have to have watched Dune 1 to enjoy Dune 2? I'm hearing all this stuff about how great Dune 2 is, but didn't see 1.

Without seeing the first movie or at least knowing it's plot all you will get are the action sequences, which there are more of this film compared to the last.

But if you have seen one of the other Dune adoptions you can probably pick it up. But if not would recommend seeing the first.
