    I'm sorry, but if you are an American citizen and you go into Russia of your own accord, you are stupid. Our countries aren't on the best of terms. You are risking a whole damn lot by stepping foot on their soil.

    Not a fan of most of the Juri concepts. I only like two of them. The Cammy outfits are just plain terrible. I think two of of them are just okay. Unsurprisingly half of the Chun Li looks are fire. Two of the Chun Li looks I don't like are better than all of Cammy's IMO.

    Oh yeah, the funny thing to me is that there was a time many years ago...when I saw their acquisition of Star Wars as a good thing since it would mean more Star Wars stuff was on the way......wooo boy look how that turned out.  Now if Disney is involved with something it's like a "stain" on that thing, imo.... almost as bad as that little consulting company "Sweet Baby Inc." in the games industry.  haha at this point some gamers have taken to checking their official website on occasion to see what games to avoid 🤣  
     
    *On another note, I didn't know until now Disney had any involvement at all with the recent Boogeyman film.

    I'm no longer black since I didn't vote for Biden so I didn't get that memo.

    I hope Stellar Blade's gameplay slaps because everything the game's director has said sounds good.

    The damage to Disney's rep as a company that fulfills the expectation of quality every time around is, I would argue, the more damaging ramification. They're headed for Konami territory if they keep on the way they have been.

    Super Mario's Bros RPG for Switch has outsold the original. The Switch effect continues to be a thing. I doubt the successor will sell as well, but I bet it'll have stronger 3rd Party support from the outset. I know both Namco and Acti-Blizz basically said "we fucked up" with the Switch. Although I doubt EA will come around.

    NBC Universal has played Disney like a fiddle. They had no interest in Fox yet got Disney to over pay for it by 30 billion dollars. Then they forced them to buy out their state in Hulu for another 9 billion. You may want to put your resume in at Universal before Super Nintendo World opens.

    It would be laughable if it was their worst financial L. When the worst box office year in the history film isn't your biggest L, I don't know what to tell you. I don't feel like listing off their multi-billion dollar failures. They've been cooked by NBC Universal to the tune of tens of billions of dollars and how that's doubly bad because it's their direct rival but I digress.
     

     
    @TheInfernoman, hopefully by some miracle they'll get some people running the company that know what the Sam Hell they are doing. Because handing your direct rival billions of dollar (NBC Universal) when they are targeting the heart of our business (theme parks), spending tens of billions of dollars on acquisitions, running those acquisitions into the ground, and getting earnings on earnings calls to announce more acquisitions to hide the fact that you've run your previous acquisitions into the ground, aint it.

    Dan Murrell, who's estimates are on the conservative side, and can't be lumped in with the "anti-woke" crowd. Puts Disney's 2023 box office losses at 1.37 Billion dollars.
     

     
    As I've said about Square Enix's management, Disney needs to boot Iger and it's entire board.

    It literally has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with them spending FAR too much money to make similar films to their competitors. Elemental has more than double the budget 220m to 100m of the Mario movie. The Marvels had a higher budget than s more known IP in The Flash. The Little Mermaid had a total spend, 437m, that double what it should have been, so instead of having a hit on their hands they had a massive bomb. They need somebody like Neil Blomkamp over there. He could make their movies for less money and they'd look better.

    No, Square Enix bombs are we didn't make as much money as we wanted. Disney bombs are we lost several HUNDRED million dollars. You don't seem to be aware of how movies work. Your comment about a 900 million dollar box office movie being a flop tells me as much. If your movie has a massive budget and ad campaign. The studio will have lost their ass on the film. Let's use Avengers Endgame's budget as an example. It had a budget of $356 million dollars and an additional $200 million dollar for the ad campaign. So the total spend for the movie would be $556 million dollars. The studio gets half, the box office revenue after theatre takes their cut and after taxes are paid. So that $900 million dollars is $450 million dollars. So that would be $106 million dollar loss in this scenario.

    *Disney reported a $250 million dollar budget. However tax filings in the UK showed an actual budget of 297 million dollars. That's not including the marketing budget which was 140 million dollars. The movie made $569 million dollars. It cost Disney a total of 437 million. They netted 285 million (rounding up) from the box office. That's 152 million dollar loss.

    I'm not. I'm discussing Ls for Disney. This is about their stupidity. I don't have enough time or words to discuss DeSantis' idiocy. Moreover, I wouldn't try because I'm pretty politics are off limits per Misterbee. And Reed Creek is a massive L for Disney. They've just lost yet another court case over it and show no signs of not continuing to throw good money after bad. Disney was literally their own local government. Emphasis on the was.
     
    I've been shitting on Elon and specifically Tesla for years. He's not the genius his portrayed as. That said he's also a stubborn prick that won't hesitate to waste his money on his own person whims. The reason a certain bed shitter didn't get canned from Aquaman 2 is because Elon threatened WB. Did that make sense for him? Nope. Did it stop him from doing? Nope. Does Disney have the money to waste fighting an exceedingly rich debag with bigger pockets than them? Not really. 
     
    There is a lot of stupidity around Gina Carano situation. Her critics are stupid. They couldn't be bothered read a tweet and just went off what other people said. They would have you believe that ultra Zionist Ben Shapiro hired an anti-Semite. Their isn't a word in existence to describe the stupidity of that take. Disney has been bending over backward to find a strong female character that actually sells toys. They had one, fired her for politics, not tweets. I can roll out a dime length post of all the suss tweets coming  from Lucasfilm in particular to back this up if need be. Which goes back to my whole point about Discovery, because if Disney had a social media policy it damn sure wasn't being enforced. 
     
    Disney just dropped six of the biggest box off bombs of all time in the past year. The amount of money their film division lost would be hard to surpass if you tried to do so on purpose. So I would say they are leagues smarter than anyone. They've been one of most braindead companies this side of 90s Sega. Or TLDR I don't just disagree. I hard disagree. I mean they had probably the worst year in the companies history and they increased Iger's compensation. Talk about failing upwards.
     
    Given Disney's propensity for shooting themselves in the foot. They don't need luck. They just need to wait long enough for Disney to fuck themselves. This has literally been Disney as of late.

    That second outfit should have been his main since Street Fighter 5. It's just perfect!
     
    Love the new gameplay and that they made him a pure boxer. Much better than SF5, but I've yet to see Capcom miss with a character in this game, so I kind of expected them to improve Ed. I trust them with their choices by now.
     
    The stage also looks very cool! 
     
    Can't wait to see his interactions in World Tour mode and maybe learn more about what happened to Neo-Shadaloo.

    That Ed trailer has me incredibly hyped. Everything I could have wanted for him has been addressed. He looks better, moves seem more coherent, he's pure boxing, his stage is pure fire.
     
    Man, what a step-up. This will definitely be pulling me deep into SF6.
     
    Also I agree with everything @Darc_Requiemsaid about the Tekken story. I'm a big Tekken fan and it felt really good to play and the ending with the way they incorporated characters, story arcs, music and even MOVE LISTS going back years and years ago was just incredible. Genuine story-telling through move-set. How cool is that?
