Movie credits where weapons or headwear owned by the characters just float in midair give me a very morbid vibe.

I don't think any one person will ever have a more "right place, right time" experience with a movie than I had with Wreck-It Ralph. I was 11 at the time, I was starting to get into Disney and Pixar movies after spending my early childhood as a Dreamworks kid, and I was huge into retro games - especially from the 80s - trying to get ahold of every retro game I possibly could, be it with original hardware (back when that was affordable), re-releases, fan projects, or piracy. You have no clue how validating it was for me to see the Konami Code and Pac-Man kill screen on the big screen at that age, even if those are now kinda cliche references.

The Namco Museum games have a really interesting legacy - they were aimed at the 80s kids who grew up on those games, got in the hands of 2000s kids who were introduced to Pac-Man through the Flash fan port by Neave and World games, and the newer generation took to a completely different set of games from what the 80s kids took to. Pole Position was popular enough to get a solo cartoon (not even part of one of the package shows that were common at the time), while Mappy was considered a flop that didn't even get any US home ports, but nowadays in the zoomers' reign of the internet PP is only brought up for a weird advert while Mappy is considered a timeless classic.

I had a dream where The Noise was added to Smash as a Mii Costume and people somehow still managed to find an argument for the "must've been on Nintendo" fan rule, despite the Noise not even having any Nintendo apperances in the dream world

I've been staying up late so I'll very likely update my creation threads earlier than usual tonight.

Have I ever mentioned (outside of the post I just deleted because I think this is a better way to word it) the meerkat craze of early 2010s UK? There was an insurance comparison ad about meerkats with Russian accents, and it was so popular that every single zoo in the UK had to advertise the prescence of the things; Birthday cards with meerkats on them filled shelves; there were tons of documentaries on TV; people got meerkat lawn gnomes; the ads' toys were sold on Ebay for hundreds; and the Neighborhood Watch signs got meerkats printed on them. They were everywhere.

WHEN THE COMPARISON IS SIMPLES

Before anyone misinterprets this, I'm not saying these dark/adult elements are bad (though there are some here where I do think the adult elements were handed poorly), but rather than I find the culture around dark/adult moments in kids' media extremely obnoxious, and that a lot of media - especially that which is either on the obscure side, has an overly cute aesthetic, or predates the nostalgia range of the average internet user - can end up being reduced to those scenes alone in the public eye.

I really liked how the Mario Movie relegated all the Mario references to the Mario world and all the miscellaneous 80s Nintendo references to Brooklyn

All these "Mario proves WOKE critics wrong at the box office" videos in my YT recommended are making me feel guilty for watching it.

Rewatching Schafrillas' old ranking videos, and I'm still mad how dirty he did Chicken Run in his Dreamworks ranking.

Hot take: I think a TV show or series of shorts would be better for the Mario movie's follow up than a sequel.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 8, 2023

Since characters and karts are solely aesthetic in DriDim, the optimal kart setup would probably be based on hitbox size - hope y'all like lobbies filled with the Maushold-Boulder Mobile, PlayStations-Invisible Boatmobile, and Keroppi-Flying Nimbus setups.

I think one of the weirdest Smash arguments I've ever heard was "getting in as a clone is bad because then your character is no longer acknowledged in speculation"

I don't even know where to start on that.

I'm watching a compilation of Cheetos ads, and it's funny to me how the the early Chester Cheetah ads were more Luckycharmsian and had a joke of "look how uncool this guy is", but then they just started trying to make him cool anyway.

One thing that annoys me in platform fighter discourse is "Smash didn't get where it is today by..."

I've been listening to a British Muppets crumpet ad on loop as background noise and I'm really annoyed because at the end Kermit says "Merry Crumpets, everybody!"

At least Merry Pringles was actually attached to a Christmas ad

Today I saw a newspaper that said in big bold letters
SCIENTISTS SAY YOU LITERALLY DON'T NEED A BRAIN TO BE SMART
and then at the top in tiny text it said
breaking news about sea anemones and zooplankton

E3 (and in turn major hype culture) seemingly dying feels like release from a prison sentence (or at least what I imagine that would feel like) - it's not all big and celebratory like the end of a war, and there's a lingering piece of guilt/embarrassment, but it puts you at ease like nothing else could.

When I went to the Mario movie, a poorly animated advert for a kids' phonics app played before it, and this was in it.

I do still think Despicable Me 1 is Illumination's best movie, but I might be biased because it came out right as I was in the target demo.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 6, 2023

On one hand, I do think critic reviews are majorly flawed (even if not as much so as audience scores) since professional critics will often have to cover works outside their genre preferences, but on the other I do not understand why fans of "dumb fun" movies like Mario get so hostile about low critic scores. The only people a low critic score will draw away from a movie like that are people who probably wouldn't like it anyway.

The Mario movie madness is over. We can finally sleep easy.
