Cyborg Sun

holy sh*t, during my latest deviantart rabbit hole dive I found this group called the Super Swagsters, a group of users who make posts that serve to parody the kind of "reaction image/babyrage" things you see on the site

legitimately hilarious stuff, if only in a really dumb way that probably only appeals to guys like me

HOMER

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

not to be THAT guy buuuuuuuuut

multiversus is dying, but the omniversus dream is forever

why is John Williams wearing the Wallace Breen outfit

OmniVersus

This was honestly so cool, just seeing all these characters from vastly different kids' shows, appearing outside of their own shows interacting with this inter-dimensional diner... and you have that attention to detail with how said characters even speak, like Thomas has the narrator talk for him for instance.

God, Sprout is one of the reasons I'm so crossover-pilled these days I think, this wasn't the only thing there that did this.

please for the love of god don't actually have the next mario kart be called "MK9" i beg of you

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is cool because it's sort of a glimpse of what Marvel looked like almost right before the MCU started, Winter Soldier for instance was still a really new character in 2006 so his portrayal in this game as a one-off boss you face in the first level with a cocky, almost quippy personality is weird but interesting.

Also that means yeah Nick Fury is the white one here, but he's actually also a special unlockable character and Samuel L. Jackson-inspired Fury from the Ultimate universe still existed during this time, so that version of the character is used for half of his selectable costumes, which is pretty cool.

Exciting new PBS Kids press releases regarding Weather Hunters (previously announced back in 2023) and new show Phoebe & Jay:

in a "flower duet 2" mood right now

guys why in the everloving **** is there an x-files little golden book

making ai complain about big tech is my new favorite hobby

screwing around with notebooklm and making these podcast hosts take random potshots at mark zuckerburg during an analysis of an obscure children's movie is actually brilliant

"i don't like the name 'switch 2'"
okay fine but at least it gets to the point of what it is unlike whatever the hell "wii u" tried to be

MFW (my face when) when Nintendo Switch 2 Video Gaming System 2 by Nintendo reveals

>appears out of nowhere
>somehow tricks everyone in a town to eat your shady pies
>even though you say your name is litearlly "Sour Sam" and they're called "Crabby Apple Pies"
>only motive is to "destroy Thanksgiving" for some unknown reason
>somehow get most of the Care Bears to eat your shady pies too
>gets beat by a grandma bear tho
>leaves and then never shows up ever again

this is not a "villain of the week" kind of show, bro literally just rolled up in his pie truck and replaced No Heart as the villain for the Thanksgiving episode, refused to elaborate, and disappeared, what an absolute chad

no context video game modding

Haters will say this is fake...

SHOUTOUT TO VILLAINS FROM CUTESY 80s KIDS SHOWS WHO WERE REALLY BADASS FOR NO REASON AT ALL

GOTTA BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENDERS

dug this up today

american cross-armed sona cartoon reviewers: "noooooo this character is so mean spirited in this episode the writers should be ashamed and sent to jail for 1 billion year!!!!"

British Humor Enjoyers: "Meh, this was far too tame, it could've been so much more harsh."

wario-coded music

the general Little Golden Books artstyle used for most pop culture tie-ins would actually go really hard for a family-friendly character crossover

wario's smash moveset if it was based entirely on "greeding":
this is based on remarks from the unpopular opinions thread lmfao

In the past couple of years (especially as I dip my toes into the occasional roster-building), I've come to really enjoy looking at fictional characters and wondering how they'd work in a fighting game, in a more traditional "break this character down to a key unique style and go from there" kinda way. It's weirdly made me more appreciative of media (like kids shows) that on a surface level can feel kinda samey.

Like going to the idea of a general PBS kids show crossover again, how do you differentiate all the copious amount of "cute animal protagonists" or "confident slice-of-life girls" without all of them just being generically good guys with generic good guy movesets & traits? It's simple; just look closely at their unique traits of both the characters and the general tones of the shows themselves, and nail down base concepts, something that can be easily conveyed. Molly could be "Alaska Native Vlogger", emphasizing both her culture and some modern flair in the moveset, with your obvious "cold attacks" on top of that, while Alma could be a "Bronx Beatdown Artist", having a tougher Bronx flair and some stylish dance moves, a more rushdown type perhaps. Or you could go in completely different directions with either of them depending on the context, but you can still find ways to differentiate any grouping of characters.

My friend just made this list, feel free to give suggestions:

merry day-after-christmas

Wario & Waluigi

everything on the internet these days either NEEDS to be "a masterpiece" or "irredeemable trash" and I'm sick of it, whatever happened to media just being average

finally, an official video game where a skibidi toilet character can shoot captain hook in the goddamn face

If you haven't had a Christmas Special episode where you save Santa, then could you even call yourself a cartoon character for kids???

i like how mr incredible in smash flash 1 was his "golden age" look from the beginning of the movie for some reason

Kinda hilarious that sometimes people go "oh, the bronies actually used to be so homophobic back then!"

Like, my dude, that was just 2010s internet in general. Being called "gay" was one of the biggest ways to insult men back then, it's why the term "no homo" was a thing for pete's sake. So of course one of their first big ways they were gonna defend themselves watching a girls' show was "oh yeah but we're not like gay or anything guys". It was kinda hilarious how they also insisted they "weren't furries" though.
