OK, I'm in public domain brainrot mode, and I'm gonna ramble a bit about Pooh and why we're only really seeing crappy horror renditions of him so far - there's a few possible reasons for this
- There are probably hundreds of Pooh stories, both sincere and subversive, in development right now, but all mediums take a long time if you're trying to release something people want to pay for in money - if you have no intent in actually making money off of Poohing in public and just want to goof around with the IP, well you don't really need to wait for anything.
- Tigger is not public domain yet. He's the second most popular character in the franchise, and probably the most popular with its core target audience of small children - most people writing a Pooh story would consider including Tigger a maker-or-breaker.
- Horror movies are cheap and quick - Halloween was made on a budget of $325,000 and filmed in less than a month, and famous film stars are considered a detriment to the atmosphere of a horror movie. Combine this with the fascination on "What if babby show but SPOOKY" that predates, but really boomed with, the internet, and animation (the medium where a bipedal talking bear would best thrive) being infamously costly and time-consuming and it's obvious that this will be the first to come out of the floodgates.
- Disney still owns the Pooh trademark - this is not much of an issue for indie studios, but restricted merchandising is a MAJOR problem for large companies. If say, Dreamworks, wanted to do a Pooh movie, it would be nigh impossible to sell plushies and t-shirts of their Pooh, which is where the money is in for animation - not impossible of course, (take "Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates", another show that riled up Disney and had to put its production company in the title) but distinguishing their Pooh from Disney's would be an uphill battle not worth pursuing when you could just license a more contemporary book and officially establish your version as a seperate trademark, a business model that gained Dreamworks a majority of its hits. This also erases any incentive for any Video Brinquedo sorts, since confusing people is the whole point (and animated mockbusters are a dying art as is)
GUYS I JUST REALISED THE BEST THING ABOUT STEAMBOAT WILLIE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
This phrase gets thrown around a lot, but Pokemon Concierge is the show I've wanted since I was a kid. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow.
Thomas the Tank Engine enters the public domain in 18 years
Chicken Run 2 surprised me - I was one of the few people who had confidence in it when it was first announced as opposed to seeing it as a cash grab, but I was not expecting to like it as much as (if not more than) the first one.
watching the masked singer half-asleep on christmas night as someone who neither celebrates nor visits family is a fever dream

remember when pixar movies didn't have a reputation for being heartfelt and stuff so all the marketing presented them as if they were friedberg and seltzer slapstick-gross out movies
i think the most surreal thing about the 80s from a zoomer-looking-in perspective is how mcdonald's tried to present as a philantrophy first and restaurant second.
i wonder which streaming service will pick up the rights to the king's christmas speech when the bbc satelites go off the air.
I'm kinda tempted to do a million-character Smash roster - if I do it'd probably be more defined by its exclusions than inclusions.
I think Professor Pac-Man probably wins the award for "Game with the most conceptually interesting but least sourced popular facts"
I just watched Once Upon a Studio, and I feel like I have a moral obligation to hate this, but I can't - it's just too cute and well-animated, and they get so much mileage out of the interactions. The corporate ploy worked, 10/10, will buy the Inside Out 2 cross-promotion FrubesDYo Wawawa, I had this really dumb question earlier today and I apologize if you feel uncomfortable with It... But as a British person what are your thoughts on Austin Powers?
Idk, he reminds me of Super López and specially Anacleto in Spain (the latter being a James Bond parody) and those two are enjoyed over here. Was wondering if that applies to you with Austin Powers or you happen to really dislike him.
OK, I think I know who that "Evil Wawawa" account is with their recent Next Smash thread posts
I do think that if a non-F2P platform fighter ever manages to legitimately gain online popularity, it won't be a crossover game, but rather an original IP with a very distinctive aesthetic. I think it'd be more likely to be an indie release than a major studio IP, but both could happen.
just noticed the watchmojo logo has animation clipping in it
OK, so I'm very aware that Sonic isn't popular in Japan, it's something I've probably brought up too much if anything, but I was not aware that it was to the extent where a major game developer, under hire by Sega, wouldn't know who Dr. Eggman is.
why does n sync get to the show for game boy colour sound like fnf
hello dental floss man. this is a direct threat, i will overtake your game-music-with-lyrics empire - i present to you: lion king snes monkey puzzle with lyrics
i'm gonna be a mighty king so enemi
I never really gave Bub and Bob in Smash that much consideration beyond "I like this game, it'd be fun to have in Smash", but now I think about it, those bubbles could be an awesome command grab/projectile combination - I could imagine them as going in an arc rather than staying in place, but still trapping foes in it - essentially being the ultimate combo tool, cancelling out DI and forcing a set knockback regardless of weight or damage. Should be blockable though.
It's no NASB thread summon attack, but I'll absolutely remember "Why aren't you being nuanced about this topic? Anyway, Bubsy has no redeeming qualities" for a long time.
I'm reading some of the Bubsy discorse from the Next Smash thread - at a safe distance - and I think these people really don't understand Bubsy as a concept. People are acting like the diegetic crux of the character is "Sonic but annoying/wacky" when he's really a lot more of a Daffy Duck/Donald Duck-style character.
oh god mcdonalds brought back ronald's creepy klasky csupo character design dog
I think if I was in charge of PSASBR 2, I'd make it a lifebar based game - still a platform fighter with the standard mobility options and moveset layouts, but all the stages are walled up (with pits perhaps being part of a crossover hazard or two) and a lot bigger than the average Smash stage, even for the stages designed with competitive play in mind - it'd have a meter a bit like NASB 2, but every move's upgraded form takes a different amount of meter and there are - like PSASBR 1 - 3 supers
god damn it someone brought up masked man on next smash thread, i'm out. bubsy was one thing, but i do not have the energy to discuss this topic.
"Here's my most wanted Smash characters list"
"Haha funny jokes"
"When did I ever imply this was a joke?"
"It's very obvious"
"OK, if it is a joke, what is the joke?"
radio silence
I'm starting to suspect the SmashBoards user base is a significantly higher percentage neurotypical than I first thought.
While I do defend use of AI art in recreational or otherwise-non-corporately-produced/budgeted content, I do think it's really weird and a little concerning that all the generators don't have citations/sources listed for the source images, even though they could pretty easily do that AFAIK.
I had a dream where a Subway opened near my house, but it was a "Seinfeld Subway", where Jerry Seinfeld impersonators worked there and they would only take your order if you started it with "What's the DEAL with..."
How have I never seen the PS5 menu until now? It's awesome! Fits really well for PS' current focus on cinematic games
why does wario.com redirect to a texas lottery scam
wait there was a massive leak of cancelled angry birds games and i didnt see
gamexplan using british ai voices is funny. i mean objectively it sucks that such a big business can't be bothered to hire people, but in execution it's just hilarious to hear a british posh guy talk about super mario rpg
Just read every Garfield comic released on an anniversary of 9/11.
It was a massive waste of time. -
