    I’ll never understand how they managed to make super mario maker a really boring stage. It’s super mario maker, it should be the most BS of all the stages!
    smash infinite getting into the 2773728829294647th "should unpopular characters be in smash" debate where it's the exact same people saying the exact same things every time
    Some smash fans seem to genuinely have this fallacy where they think a character not getting in or not being represented the way they like is because Sakurai dislikes them or actively doesn’t want them in the game

    Same goes for characters' movesets not being referencepaloozas - I've made my opinions clear on my dislike for needless references clear in the past, but either way the Smash team don't "hate" Ganondorf; Bowser Jr.('s paintbrush); Samus; or Wario (Land), they just have a different vision of how they'd fight from you. If anything I feel wanting to put your own spin on a character instead of copying over everything from the game is more of a sign of love towards a character and their game.
    As good as the modern dkc games are they really don’t capture what I like about the original trilogy and that’s okay, it does it’s own thing, but I still do wish there was something more like the older dkc games.

    I can't really place my finger on what makes Tropical Freeze seem so unlike DKC1 and 2, but my best guess is that Tropical Freeze is more liberal with the uses of colourful whimsy and peaceful locations, while DKC1 and 2 were generally quite melancholy games that saved their silliness for between-level dialogue and idle/enemy attack animations. I don't think either is necessarily a worse approach, and I can absolutely understand why they'd want to tone down the intensity a little. Tropical Freeze hit a decent balance by having it be mostly silly like the Paon-era games but having those occasional, brief moments of darkness pull no punches (Scorch N' Torch comes to mind)
    I feel bad for zone of the enders fans because the games are pretty much universally known as “the other thing kojima did”, are more recognized for having demos of metal gear games than being actual games, and the zone of the enders HD collection literally copied the logo of mgs HD collection. Haven’t played them but I imagine that situation would be very frustrating to anyone who genuinely likes the games
    Good evening. This is Sander Vanocur,
    and this is the GNT World News.
    After seven months of fighting,
    the civil war in Shadaloo...
    may have reached
    the turning point.
    The capital has just fallen.
    [Speaking Native Languages]
    This is Chun-Li Zang
    with GNT News.
    A.N. forces are consolidating their hold
    on Shadaloo City today...
    after a night of skirmishing that
    secured this key Southeast Asian port.
    But these soldiers
    aren't celebrating just yet.
    They know that defeating
    the ragtag city militia is one thing.
    Defeating the heavily-armed forces
    of General M. Bison is quite another.
    The Allied Nations forces know...
    that they are dealing
    with a power-mad dictator.
    A dictator whose drug money
    has equipped his army...
    with high-tech weaponry,
    which some intelligence experts fear...
    is equal to anything
    in the industrialized world.
    It's been only 24 hours...
    since this dangerous
    and unpredictable warlord...
    seized 63 Allied Nations
    relief workers...
    from a village north of here.
    This self-styled general's
    ransom demands:
    An astonishing $20 billion!
    Meanwhile, the location
    of the 63 hostages...
    remains unknown.
    Of the 15 Allied Nations troops...
    assigned to guard
    the missing relief workers,
    twelve are confirmed dead
    and three are missing.
    Their whereabouts?
    Also unknown.
    You came from across
    the world to fight me, soldier.
    [Computer Voice]
    Stand clear.
    Now is your chance.
    • [Spine Cracks]
    • Pathetic!
    I think I see the A.N. commander
    arriving now.
    I'm going to try to talk to him.
    Yes! Your turn now.
    [Spine Cracks]
    Colonel Guile?
    Colonel Guile!
    Col. Guile, Chun-Li Zang, GNT News.
    May we speak to you, please?
    No.
    Don't you want to speak
    to the world audience?
    [Guile]
    No, but I do want to talk to someone.
    That ******* Bison!
    I know you like to look at yourself
    on television, you sick son of a *****.
    So look at this!
    What... are you doing?
    Dee Jay, break in. Now!
    You wanted me on TV.
    I'm on TV now! Leave it!
    What the hell?
    Balrog!
    • Balrog, do you believe this?
    • Believe this, Honda?
    Man, I'm shootin' it.
    Col. Guile! Greeting!
    He took the bait.
    Trace that signal stat!
    Why do you address a fellow warrior
    with such disrespect?
    Warrior? You?
    How many doctors and nurses
    have you killed this week?
    How many children
    have you orphaned?
    • You will choke on those words, Guile.
    • Anytime, ********.
    [Guile]
    We'll go worldwide just like now.
    General, they're tracing this.
    You think you're so clever, Guile.
    Think about this.
    You have three days.
    If my $20 billion
    are not delivered by then,
    the hostages will die, and the world
    will hold you responsible!
    • Victory!
    • Bison! Bison!
    You hostages,
    if you can hear me,
    we're coming, we're coming!
    Charlie, hang on, buddy.
    We're coming!
    We're coming!
    Hang on, buddy.
    Carlos Blanka.
    Charlie!
    So you are Guile's friend.
    Take him to the laboratory.
    [Computer]
    Attention, all personnel.
    Until zero hour,
    all off-duty personnel...
    must be in full gear
    with sidearms until further notice.
    We couldn't trace it.
    He broke off too soon.
    You know what?
    For a minute, you were almost useful.
    [Chun-Li]
    He doesn't like women, does he?
    Oh, no.
    No, he doesn't like journalists.
    I assure you,
    it's an equal-opportunity dislike.
    Let's get ready to rumble
    Street fighter
    Let's get ready to rumble
    • [Electricity Zapping]
    • Aah!
    Okay, we're off the street.
    You feel safe yet?
    Yeah... real safe.
    Hey, this way.
    [Chanting]
    Vega! Vega!
    In here.
    Good evening, gentlemen.
    Good evening, Sagat.
    Quite a party. Didn't anyone
    tell you there's a curfew?
    In Shadaloo City,
    no one tells me anything.
    [Helicopter Pilot Over Loudspeaker]
    There's a 7:OO P.M. curfew
    in Shadaloo City.
    Violators will be shot
    on sight.
    May I offer you a drink...
    or anything else?
    [Clears Throat]
    Let's skip the Miss Manners
    and get down to business.
    Do you have the $100,000?
    Do you have the weapons?
    • They're hidden.
    • When we get outside
    with our money, we'll call you on this.
    • Tell you where your guns are.
    • Do we have a deal or not?
    You need this, Sagat.
    Oh, no. I already know
    that the weapons...
    are on the pier
    behind the Malpraiso Brewery.
    In fact, my men...
    have already unloaded the truck
    and brought the weapons here.
    What's the matter, gentlemen?
    Surely you're not afraid
    of your own weapons!
    [Speaking Native Language]

    [Laughing]
    Toys!
    I like my games live,
    and in living color!
    Interesting!
    You aren't all talk after all.
    Ah! Dr. Dhalsim.
    How is your research today?
    The same: Warped, corrupted.
    My science twisted to serve
    perversion instead of peace.
    Tell you what.
    After I've crushed my enemies,
    we'll see about getting you published.
    That should cheer you up. Hmm?
    Now, let's have a look
    at the patient.
    Excellent.
    He'll do very nicely.
    • You'll have a perfect soldier.
    • You mean a perfect killer.
    Let's not quibble
    over definitions.
    • [Screaming]
    • Is that a reaction to the programming?
    What's he receiving?
    [Dhalsim]
    See for yourself.
    Merely educational software.
    Why does he find it disturbing?
    Because, unlike you,
    he's not psychotic.
    [Groans]
    You take risks, Doctor.
    Do not presume so much
    on my good nature.
    When his brain has become
    a killing machine,
    my... loyal scientists
    will start on his body.
    [Cheering]
    The next fight.
    The challenger!
    Ryu!
    The defender...
    my champion, Vega!
    All bets start...
    one hundred dollar American.
    Sorry I talked you
    into all this.
    I'm sorry I listened.
    [Crowd Chanting]
    Vega! Vega!
    Popular guy.
    - The greatest cage fighter
    since Iron Fist.
    - Yeah? What happened to him?
    He retired and became me.
    [Cheering]
    Vega, over here!
    Vega! Vega!
    [Chanting]
    No weapons! No weapons!
    Why are you making me watch this?
    Research. You fight next.
    [Buzzer Sounds]
    You're all under arrest.
    [Radio D.J.]
    Good morning, Shadaloo!
    The staff meeting is now in session.
    New business.
    Uh, Colonel, my commando team
    is at full readiness.
    But we need to know if the assault
    will be by land, sea or air.
    [Guile]
    I knew that was coming. Cammy?
    We were able to get Bison
    to break radio silence.
    Unfortunately, not long enough
    to pinpoint the signal.
    At this point, all we say for certain
    is his base is hidden...
    somewhere here,
    the river delta region.
    Any other new business?
    Sir! Look.
    Shadaloo Tong.
    [P.A. Announcer]
    Attention.
    There will be a series
    of mandatory inoculations...
    for all prisoners
    commencing at 1400 hours.
    Delousing will follow immediately.
    That is all.
    • You'd think they were afraid of us.
    • Not us.
    This could be the break we need.
    If Sagat runs guns to Bison,
    then he's got to know
    where Bison is hiding.
    All we have to do
    is infiltrate someone... into his gang.
    Excuse me, but Sagat didn't get to
    the top of the Asian underworld
    by taking risks.
    He's not the type of guy
    who makes new friends.
    [Whistle Blows]
    T. Hawk,
    who are those two men?
    Ken Masters and Ryu Hoshi.
    A couple of low-rent operators.
    We took 'em in in last night's sweep.
    [Whistle Blows]
    - Get them patched up,
    and bring them to me.
    • Yes, sir.
    • If Sagat won't trust new friends,
    • Hmm.
    Maybe he'll trust
    some new enemies.

    Dr. Howard, report to

    [Baby Crying]
    It's all right.
    Here, here.
    Come on.
    These people here
    have a chance.
    Those hostages Bison is holding
    have less than that.
    What is this,
    a guilt trip?
    Call it a wake-up call, gentlemen.
    Manila, Hong Kong, Shadaloo.
    You tried to justify your con games
    by telling yourselves...
    you've been stealing
    from criminals.
    Now, are you the same
    as Sagat and Bison?
    Or am I right...
    and you're different?
    [Ryu]
    We're different.
    Can we please leave?
    The only way
    you two are leaving...
    is over my dead body.
    [D.J.] Anybody know
    what to do if a Bison trooper
    throws a hand grenade?
    Angh! You pick it up, pull,
    and throw it right back at him!
    All right!
    Load 'em up. Move 'em out.
    I'm tired of being a warden.
    - Take 'em to the harbor.
    The navy has a brig waiting.
    - Yes, sir.
    Bon voyage, Sagat.
    Enjoy the sea air.
    This isn't over, Guile.
    I own this city!
    Well, I'm the repo man.
    And you're out of business.
    You just had to come
    to this country, didn't you, huh?
    Why'd I listen to you?
    You can't think. You can't fight.
    • You can't even...
    • I'm sick of your crap!
    • Break it up! Get in the truck!
    • Son of a *****!
    • Get in the truck. Come on!
    • All right, next batch.
    Cell block "D,"
    line up for the next truck.
    Ryu! Ken!
    Throw us the keys.
    Go to hell.
    Forget our past.
    I can help you escape the city.
    [Screams]
    Let's go.
    Go! Go!
    [Machine Gun Fire]
    Go! Go!
    [Gunshots]
    • [Rifle Shots]
    • Don't!
    You'll hit the Colonel!

    [Bison]
    The temple above us...
    was the wonder
    of the ancient world.
    Bisonopolis shall be
    the wonder of my world.
    But I think the food court
    should be larger.
    All the big franchises
    will want in.
    [Chun-Li] Dateline Shadaloo City,
    Shadaloo, Southeast Asia.
    The world is in shock
    at the news...
    that Colonel William F. Guile
    has been killed.
    It happened 30 minutes ago
    during a jailbreak by Victor Sagat,
    the gunrunner who was
    the principal arms supplier...
    for renegade Gen. M. Bison.
    It was hoped that the Allied Nation
    forces would restore order here,
    but after today's tragedy,
    nothing is certain...
    except that Bison's
    mad threats will continue,
    and that the new A.N. commander's
    first order of business...
    is to bury Col. Guile.
    For GNT, this is Chun-Li Zang.
    That's great news, General!
    Congratulations.
    • On the contrary, I mourn.
    • Okay.
    I was hoping to face Guile personally
    on the battlefield.
    One gentleman warrior
    to another...
    in respectful combat.
    Then I would snap his spine.
    Ahh!
    The road not taken.
    But why?
    Why do they still
    call me a warlord?
    And mad?
    All I want to do...
    is to create
    the perfect genetic soldier!
    Not for power,
    not for evil,
    but for good!
    Carlos Blanka will be
    the first of many.
    They shall march
    out of my laboratory...
    and sweep away
    every adversary,
    every creed, every nation,
    until the very planet
    is in the loving grip...
    of the Pax Bisonica.
    And then peace will reign...
    in the world,
    and all humanity...
    shall bow to me...
    in humble gratitude.
    That was beautiful.
    [Man Over Loudspeaker]
    Curfew violators will be arrested.
    Anyone resisting arrest
    will be shot.
    Clear the press.
    A wireless mike on the coastal
    highway heading north. Hmm.
    [Chun-Li]
    Damn! We got interference.
    - That's not interference.
    It's too steady.
    - What's the problem?
    We're not the only ones
    who put a homing device on that truck.
    Well, let's analyze
    this other signal.
    Whoa! Looks like
    that other signal...
    is aimed right back here:
    A.N. Headquarters.
    Here?
    That doesn't make any sense.
    • Hmm.
    • [Knock At Door]
    Your five minutes are up.
    Move out.
    Honda, we gotta go, bro.
    • Excuse me, bro.
    • [Groans]
    [Rock On Radio]
    You two, follow our signal. I'll
    catch up with you at the thieves market.
    I'll find out
    who's playing games with us.
    • Watch your back, Li.
    • I didn't know you cared.
    We don't. You're the only one
    who can sign our expense accounts.
    It's clear. Go!
    They can go.
    [Door Opens, Closes]
    [Beeping]
    [Beeping Continues]
    Hmm.
    Another homing device.
    [Gasps]
    If I didn't give you
    an interview when I was alive,
    no way I'm gonna do it
    when I'm dead.
    Of course! Those two young men who led
    the prison break and killed you!
    They're working for you,
    aren't they?
    Are you asking as a reporter
    or... as something else?
    Sergeant, take Miss Zang
    into custody.
    No, wait, wait!
    Wait, please.
    You're right. I'm not here
    just to cover the news.
    I don't want a story about Bison.
    I want his head!
    Now, it's taken me...
    You can't lock me up,
    not when I'm this close.
    Take her away.
    Yes, sir.
    No.
    I knew you wouldn't understand.
    I understand better
    than you know.
    This war is not about
    your personal vendetta.
    It's about mine.
    Darling, basic black's
    not really you.
    • Prison gray, perhaps?
    • [Chuckles]
    Stop! Hey, come back here!
    Where do you think you're going?
    Hey, stop. Stop!
    [T. Hawk]
    You don't have a chance.
    What a screwup!
    What a woman!
    Cruise missile. All original equipment.
    You add your own warhead.
    Armored personnel carrier.
    Surplus from Iraqi Army.
    Five speeds.
    Two forward, three reverse.
    Like new.
    Only used once to evacuate
    American Embassy in Saigon.
    [Computer]
    Welcome, warlords of Shadaloo.
    Gen. Bison invites you to share
    his food, drink and entertainment.
    No, no, no, no.
    [Crowd]
    Yes! Yes!
    • Yes!
    • No!
    She likes me.
    • How 'bout our explosive finale?
    • Not yet. We have a problem.
    Now...
    to business.
    [Chuckles]
    This place makes Detroit
    look like Disneyland.
    The only question is,
    whose lowlifes are gonna kill us first,
    Sagat's or Bison's?
    [Ryu] I was right.
    You've forgotten everything
    our sensei talked about.
    Trust. Honor.
    Whatever you think,
    we're in this until we get that
    homing device up to Bison's fortress.
    Ken?
    [Giggling]
    You got another one of those masks
    for me, darling?
    [Punch, Scream]
    [Bison] I am pleased
    with your goods, Sagat.
    Now, as for payment,
    why settle for mere money?
    After I defeat the A.N.,
    what if I were to share
    the country with you?
    When the war is over, we'll see
    how much of the country is left.
    Meanwhile,
    let's see the color
    of your money.
    Enough!
    [Sagat]
    Is this a joke?
    This money isn't worth the paper
    it's printed on.
    On the contrary!
    Every Bison dollar
    will be worth...
    five British pounds.
    That is the exchange rate...
    the Bank of England will set
    once I've kidnapped their Queen.
    We know you're working
    for Col. Guile.
    You may not believe me,
    but we're your friends.
    I must've been insane...
    to think I could do
    business with you, Bison!
    You raving lunatic!
    I know you.
    You're Edmund Honda, the sumo
    from Hawaii. You almost made Yokozuna.
    Until the Shadaloo Tong
    destroyed my reputation.
    They did the same thing to me
    and my boxing career.
    Don't tell me!
    Figure skating.
    All you need to know...
    is that the weapons,
    ammunitions Bison and Sagat deal in,
    are gonna blow them
    straight to hell.
    This conclave is over!
    You will die for this insult, Sagat.
    You've got ten minutes.
    • [Ken] Well, that was special.
    • Come on. We've got work to do.
    It's show time.
    [Indistinct Shouting]
    She said this place will blow
    in ten minutes. Things can't get worse.
    [Guns Cocking]
    Uh, I was wrong.
    It got worse.
    Ken, back me up.
    • General, you should be...
    • Sagat, loosen up.
    • Are you with me or against me?
    • Is that multiple choice?
    You dare to interfere?
    Yeah, uh, because...
    Because there are enemy spies
    everywhere among us, General.
    Show me these spies.
    This is Chun-Li Zang. This may be
    my final broadcast, but if it is,
    • I and my comrades will know...
    • There they are!
    We have not died in vain,
    for we will have ended the careers...
    of the two warlords who have brought
    so much death and destruction...
    to this part of the world.
    Bison! Sagat!
    All your weapons of death
    are going to be blown sky-high.
    Happy landings.
    Quick!
    Change the channel!
    Evacuate at once!
    [Bison] Search the camp.
    Find Chun-Li!
    [Bison]
    The technology of East and West.
    While the governments scorned me,
    their corporations adored me!
    Zangief, see that Ken and Ryu
    are given clean clothing,
    for it was they who first warned us
    of Chun-Li's treachery.
    They are our honored guests.
    Sagat, Vega,
    you are welcome to stay here.
    I think you will find
    the coming events...
    most educational.
    [Zangief]
    General, what about them?
    Take these two
    to the interrogation room.
    [Guards Speaking
    Native Language]
    They will talk...
    or they will die.
    Preferably both.
    Take the, uh... journalist
    to my chambers.
    We have decided...
    to grant her
    a private interview.
    • [Grunts]
    • [Balrog] Get off me, man.
    There. Let's go.
    Ken, Ryu, come with me.
    We take care of you.
    • This way.
    • [Computer] Attention.
    You're gonna dehydrate yourself.
    Move! I said, "Move!"
    This sucks!
    Those guys are good guys... like us.
    Lately I don't feel very good.
    An attack from the air
    is impossible.
    The only chance is an assault
    with a small amphibious force... here.
    The main force will come
    from the north,
    while a single vessel equipped...
    with the latest
    in stealth technology...
    will come up this channel
    and strike these defenses from the east.
    • Colonel?
    • Yes?
    A single boat
    against everything he's got?
    The pilot would have to be
    out of his mind.
    Luckily, Bison has driven me crazy.
    So I'm gonna do it.
    O500.
    Cast off at 0600.
    This is it.
    Let me show you
    how we treat foreigners in Shadaloo.
    [Laughing]
    • You are next, Yankee!
    • Maybe you oughta lie down first.
    Yeah.
    [Coughing]
    And take a bath! Whew!
    Oh, man!
    Oh, God. How do you keep
    from crying out?
    I'm sumo, brother. My body can be
    in one place, my mind another.
    Next time your mind leaves,
    tell it to bring back a pizza.
    • Honda, gimme your hand.
    • We've only been in jail
    two hours. Maybe next month.
    Gimme your hand, fool!
    Ready? Go!
    Now you look like
    Bison troopers!
    This is where we train...
    in our glorious struggle
    against the Allied Nations tyranny.
    • How ya doin'?
    • Hey, lookin' great.
    • Nice goin'.
    • Hey, great uniforms.
    • Long live Bison.
    • Yep, Bison.
    I see you later
    in the commissary, huh?
    You get a good look
    at that video map?
    • Just got the left half.
    • Good. I got the right.
    [Reveille]
    [Soldier]
    Troops... fall in!
    Attention!
    I'll handle this.
    As you were, Colonel.
    What a surprise.
    Welcome to the Shadaloo front.
    • You're just in time for the kickoff.
    • I'm afraid not.
    The Security Council has just voted.
    They've decided to negotiate.
    • You're joking!
    • We think we can deal with Gen. Bison.
    You're instructed to call off
    the assault. Contact him.
    Request an extension
    of his deadline.
    We are prepared to pay
    the ransom demand.
    Twenty billion dollars?
    What will prevent him
    from taking more hostages next month...
    and asking for 50 billion,
    Colonel, have you lost your mind?
    No. You've lost your balls!
    Col. Guile,
    deliver these instructions
    to your troops.
    Then consider yourself
    relieved of your command.
    Troopers,
    I just received new orders.
    Our superiors say
    the war is cancelled.
    We can all go home.
    Bison is getting paid off
    for his crimes,
    and our friends
    who have died here...
    will have died for nothing.
    But... we can all go home.
    Meanwhile, ideals like peace...
    freedom and justice,
    they get packed up.
    But... we can all go home.
    Well, I'm not going home.
    I'm gonna get on my boat,
    and I'm going upriver.
    And I'm going to kick
    that son of a *****
    Bison's ass so hard...
    that the next Bison wanna-be
    is gonna feel it.
    Now, who wants to go home...
    and who wants to go with me?
    [Cheering]
    Come on!
    • Let's go!
    • Yeah.
    Col. Guile?
    Move it! Move it!
    Let's go!
    Move! Move!
    • Come on!
    • Col. Guile!
    Col. Guile, these instructions...
    Stop them, please.
    Hey, I would love to!
    But some moron just canned me.
    [Chun-Li]
    It was 20 years ago.
    You hadn't promoted yourself
    to general yet.
    You were just
    a petty drug lord.
    You and your gang of murderers
    gathered your small ounce of courage...
    to raid across the border
    for food, weapons.
    Hmph. Slave labor.
    My father
    was the village magistrate.
    A simple man
    with a simple code: Justice.
    He gathered the few people
    that he could to stand against you.
    You and your bullies
    were driven back...
    by farmers with pitchforks.
    My father saved his village
    at the cost of his own life.
    You had him shot...
    as you ran away.
    A hero... at a thousand paces.
    I'm sorry.
    I don't remember any of it.
    You don't remember?
    For you...
    the day Bison
    graced your village...
    was the most important day
    of your life.
    But for me...
    it was Tuesday.

    who double-crossed us!
    [Gagging]
    • What did he say?
    • Hell, these guys are fanatics.
    [Gagging, Mumbling]
    I think he said
    he could lead us outside.
    What I said was...
    we're on the same side!
    [Grunts]
    I spent the past ten years
    working in the media world,
    using it to gather
    intelligence on you.
    [Romantic Music]
    I found partners who hated you
    and your friends...
    as much as I did.
    But most importantly,
    I studied the martial arts
    of three continents.
    So that one day...
    I could meet you,
    avenge my father...
    [Laughs]
    And end your reign
    of terror... myself.
    [Laughs]
    I don't think so.
    You see,
    no one has ever seen you
    in combat.
    You always hid behind
    your sumo and your boxer.
    Why, since you entered
    this country,
    you never even threw
    a single punch.
    No, my dear.
    I know women.
    And you...
    are harmless.
    That's exactly what
    I wanted you to think.
    Yah-tah!

    Li! Hey, Li! We're comin'!
    Hang on! Li!
    No!
    Li, let me at 'im!

    • Move it, cutie.
    • Don't try anything.
    • [Vega] I told you...
    we couldn't trust them.

    Vega, be civil.
    They worked so hard to get here.
    Let them enjoy

    You know, it's interesting.
    Had you worked together...
    instead of against each other,

    This is Gen. Bison.
    Our defenses are locked onto you.
    Identify yourself.
    This is the collection agency,
    Bison.
    Your ass is six months overdue...
    and it's mine.
    • Guile? Alive!
    • Of course!
    His death was designed
    to ingratiate his spies with you.
    I guess you didn't see that,
    did you?

    This time, Colonel,

    Oh, great.
    Colonel, they have a radar lock.

    for the delivery
    of the $20 billion ransom
    he has demanded for the hostages.
    Reports from Shadaloo itself
    are unclear,
    and GNT correspondent

    has been reported missing,
    along with her news crew.
    - We are hopeful for a peaceful

    in the name of humanity.
    For GNT, this is Sander Vanocur.

    deposited the 20 billion
    in my Swiss bank?

    No!
    You have no right.
    The world thought very little of you,
    my dear guests.
    Too little to pay the pittance
    I asked for.
    Too little to even mount
    a decent rescue attempt.
    Move out!
    Your masters at the A. N...
    call me a wild beast.
    So be it!
    You do not deserve...

    of a firing squad, no!
    You shall be killed

    You call this human?

    And they get paid for it.

    No, thanks. I already found

    We're pushing back the enemy,

    Still no sign of Bison.
    He's probably hiding.

    What do I have
    to fear from you?

    No, T. Hawk.
    That's what we both want.
    Am I right, Bison?
    Are you man enough
    to fight with me?
    Anyone who opposes me
    will be destroyed.
    • Colonel, you can't!
    • Oh, yes, I can.
    Just take the hostages out.
    If I'm not topside
    in 15 minutes,
    evacuate without me,

    Have they arrived yet?
    Sawada's reinforcements
    are still hitting the beachhead.
    They have their hands full
    with the enemy outside the fortress.
    I'm afraid it could
    still go either way.
    [Guile]
    Well, it's gonna go our way.
    Have our troops
    on the upper levels...
    fall back and turn on the enemy.
    - We'll trap the forces outside
    between both of our columns.
    - We'll do it, Colonel.
    But we still haven't
    found the hostages yet.
    I've got some volunteers on it.

    able to help.

    You come here prepared

    Hi-yah!
    There are so many “larger than life”characters in movies and shows that when a character actually realistically responds to a traumatic or terrifying situation there will almost certainly be people online saying they’re “bad” or “dumb” for doing so, which is ridiculous.

    Not saying it’s bad for something to have a character that responds different than “normal” to those situations, or even someone who doesn’t react much to those situations, just that it’s definitely changed how people think others are “supposed to” act in those situations and I think that’s a bad thing
    apparently in fnaf, freddy fazbear and fredbear are completely different animatronics of the same character and thats totally not confusing at all
    Gnomes and goblins are real but NOT leprechauns! I have not seen any evidence for leprechauns existence! This is unlike the three g’s (goblin, gnome, gremlin) that have years worth of evidence to back them up, so leprechauns are NOT real!
    Honestly, I’m just glad to see that the reason people are generally complaining about the ms marvel show is that they changed her powers, not that a minority is the main character.

    fr tho, I do think they shouldn’t have changed her power but it is so far pretty tiring seeing that’s the only thoughts people have on the show. I’ve only watched a few of the marvel shows and don’t really like shows with high school settings so I’ll probably skip this one.

    I don't think anyone would reasonably go after her ethnicity since she's around some time and isn't a 'reskin' so to speak of another character where race/gender swapping would feel like hamfisted diversity.


    Though I've felt her powers aren't particularly inspired. I know there's only a finite amount of powers you can give a character but she feels like a less interesting blend of Mr. Fantastic and Ant Man with her stretching and growth powers. Her ability to 'shape change' her appearance is Mystique like which would make for the more interesting aspect for her in a show...if she were a villain, perhaps.

    I also wonder if they're working on something Fantastic Four related or have plans to do so and don't want two stretch based characters floating around and want her to remain analogous to Carol for whenever Bree is no longer able/wants to be Captain Marvel, allowing her to slot right in as the younger replacement that a lot of the other mainline Avengers have been prepping for (Yelena for Natasha, Kate for Clint, Riri (Iron Heart) for Tony, Jane for Thor (Maybe? However long that lasts. Depending on how the film goes, do they really think Portman will be a 'replacement' for Hemsworth and if so for how long?))

    So I dunno. I've just never been that much of a fan of Kamala overall but then again I've not been a fan of the 'tween/teen' versions of Marvel's characters. They never synced with me as well as the Titans, for example. Hopefully Marvel doesn't screw the pooch though. Their record so far for Phase 4 has not been particularly good as a whole and Dr. Strange 2 has me absolutely dreading the ideas/concepts they're going to introduce into the MCU. As if the handling of the Infinity Stones wasn't bad enough they're no-kap going full throttle towards Multi-Verse shenanigans when I don't think they have the creative team to make it work without insane levels of contradiction or contrivance to make it 'function'.

    Wigglerman Wigglerman I don't know about any of your other claims since I've never read any Marvel comics, but from what I've heard Kamala's shape-shifting powers were used in her series as a character growth thing - like she felt dissatisfied with her own appearance at first, but grew to accept it and love herself even when she had the ability to change. I don't know the specifics but of all her powers, I'm glad that one's being brought over.
    As for the show itself, it seems like a generic "teen adjusting to high school" series, and as someone with a 14 year old sister I know that genre all too well. I'll probably watch it anyway, since I just like the character from an outsider's point of view, but I won't be surprised if this ends up being the weakest yet of the MCU show lineup.

    I'm not sure of the specifics in regard with her origins in that particular regard as I didn't read a lot of her early stuff but read some stuff involving her like The Champions (The 'teen avengers' is essentially what it was recycling The Champions team name). From what I read I wasn't gripped by the team at all and the team had no chemistry at all despite the line up, in theory, being good (young Nova, young Cyclops, Miles, Kalama, Amadeus Cho, etc). I feel in a different time the writing for those books (and these characters) could be stellar but is so 'by the book' it's just drivel.

    Her powers may have started out as such with the shapeshifting so if they kept that and want to work that aspect into her character then I hope they do it well and have some nuance and not make it so on the nose.

    And yeah, ultimately the show doesn't look like it's trying to appeal to the whole Marvel demographic so it's probably going to be a complete skip by me unless I hear from credible sources that it's actually darn good and worth the watch. But a teen drama sorta show, Marvel or otherwise, is far beyond my demographic. Though if they made a full on 'Marvel High School Drama' show that had various characters and a smart script that could be pretty fun 'spin off' series.
    Here’s my dumb creation thread idea. If colonel sanders gets in this could potentially release on the epic new console, the KFConsole
    Never played world of warcraft before but I have so much nostalgia for the leeroy jenkins meme and just hearing people reference it. It’s so weird.
