  1. It feels like the post Morrison/the first New X Men run where they try to dial stuff back towards standard superhero or classic stories.

     

    I get the logic in doing that but that logic is for the old and tired. Given the company's stability, they should not retreat into such conservative story telling when the X franchise is built on them going bold and crazy.

    Million,

     

    Perhaps there is hope?

     

     

     

     

    Outside of Kid Chameleon, which is outside of my wheelhouse as I was never that big of a mascot platform fan to give it a shot, all those if updated could probably find a new audience. 

     

    Surprised as hell though if we see a Eternal Champions sequel or reboot before we get a new Virtua Fighter. But I get the issue, a 2.5D game with colorful characters and special moves has better shot then doing a realistic 3D game with mostly generic looking folks. Who may or may not dress colorful but punch, kick and throw more like humans would do.

    Gentle was ostracized because his father is Russian, thus his remarks about being a half-breed. Wakanda as a whole wasn't happy about T'Challa being married to Storm.

    Wakanda is xenophobic.

    Yeah, but that is very realistic a lot of the world's countries are like that unfortunately even now, although some hide it better.

  4. Spoiler

    I wonder if during the process to cure her, Dr. Vegapunk didn't add in some of Kuma's genes/lineage factor making Bonny actually  carrying his legacy as a Buccaneer forward. The ability to control aging of yourself and others shouldn't give her that sort of ability unless she somehow is just capable of controlling genes of herself and others which would make her ability as broken as Law's.

     

  5. I honestly would not want another Ultra hand Zelda game, but I do hope they have the team that did all this connective work get to do another original title which can feature them polishing it more. I know they will implement some of the systems from BotW and TotK in future games but stuff like fuse/item mechanic shouldn't be just a one off for this game when you can build on it.

  6. Happy Thanksgiving everyone in the US or who just wants to celebrate.

     

    New chapter 

    https://tcbscans.com/chapters/7554/one-piece-chapter-1099?date=23-11-2023-12

     

    Spoiler

    Of course the Pacifistas creation would also be tragically warped somehow. Why was this even a surprise to me as I read it given who we know Kuma and Vegapunk are.

     

    On a lighter note, anyone else think the Queen Dowager bit that got Bonney into Reverie actually just setting up the various gags this chapter of Bonney and her being mistaken for each other this chapter?

    If they did that, they'd probably have to raise the price of the physical versions of the games, and at this point, I think most people are just buying digital anyway so it wouldn't really make a whole lot of sense. 

    Maybe with some games but you see them charging $40 for a cart that only has two MSX titles on it feels like they just went the cheapest option to get the most profit. Which is in line with the rest of the collection but still, I feel it is poor taste as a consumer.

    Nothing against Pedro Pascal. He's damn good actor but is he the only name in the rolodex. At the rate Pedro is going he's going to be on set more than a lead in a Soap Opera. Dude is going to be filming a different movie for each day of the week.

    I agree he is on some the Nic Cage or Steve Harvey grind but with massive IP based films and series.

  9. The Switch feels like they took a massive step back in personalization in every aspect of the system besides buying different color joy cons and special edition hardware.

     

    They reduced Mii usage/implementation to basically nonexistence unless you buy certain games, themes which were pretty well done on the 3DS are gone, the profile picks are basically limited to what they give for free or a way to waste the platinum points they give out in abundance but limits the actual goods they let you use it on. And don't get me started on the UI issues when it comes to sorting games taking years after to launch to be partially done.

     

    While the Switch is probably my favorite Nintendo system and one of the ones I have the most games for, shit could be improved in a lot of ways.

    Pedro Pascal is seemingly our Reed Richards 

     

     

    So is he the ultimate "Dad" actor of this current celebrity generation?

     

    Also will we get complaints about Reed not being... foolish question of course they will bitch about it.

     

     

    Edit: Madame Web sounds interesting but based on the previous live action movies, I am going to ignore it unless I hear overwhelming confirmation it doesn't suck.

    Cheap bastards should have put it all on the cartridge though. Still don't really see the point of a retail release that only accommodates half of the game.

    I hate how they get away with it. Instead of just paying for a slightly bigger cart, they just pay for one big enough for a portion of the data, make the costumer download the rest and make that mostly empty card you bought just a key to play it. 

     

    It is such a terrible practice but most companies are doing it even with discs based games. 

  12. Having watched The Marvels, I can say in terms of entertainment it is one of the better MCU films post Endgame. 

     

    It is a short run time which makes me think something like the strikes or a demand from on top caused them to cut some of it. But what is there was entertaining and fun. 

     

    One complaint, I was at a dinner cinema and during the time it took me to sign the receipt for the meal the final fight was over and I missed the whole thing. My fault for trying to tip I guess.

    Naw this is a good thing, that platform needs to fucking die. 

    Elon is slowly killing it. Apparently the reason, Sony and MS have dropped it is because of change in rules where they would have to pay more for it to be available on consoles so they are just dropping it. I am surprised Nintendo hasn't done so yet but X/Twitter was baked in as the Miiverse substitute for Splatoon and it would probably cost more to replace it when they can just make a sequel on the Switch successor in two years and kill off support for 2&3 around then.
