i actually love the character design and voice for the new norm, i wish he was in a good show written with good intentions and like, had an arc.

how the hell is pocket dogs (2004) like the only game ever to have an aromantic toggle in character creation.
i watched two multi-hour video essays about air bud yesterday, and something that stuck in my mind is that when the real air bud lost one of his paws, miramax wanted to turn into an inspirational image for kids, but disney just wanted to replace the dog.
that is cartoonishy evil, but like, in the purple pie-man sense, not the skeletor sense. technically nobody got harmed, but they just made the world marginally worse for no real reason. the guy who did that is probably still getting invited to the happy ending dance party.
I get that people mean it in a joking manner, but there's something a little bit off to me about people calling edgy Mario fan animations "childhood trauma".
The NASB2 story mode is good if repetitive gameplay-wise, and I think it suffers majorly from a lack of character interaction (even if it is surprising just how much they squeezed in there coming off of NASB1), but these go so hard that it might actually make it the best story mode in a multiplayer game ever.
The idea of a character like Rocko or Squidward inexplicably gaining the ability to majorly damage a god in one hit because the multiverse is in danger is awesome and hilarious at the same time, and no amount of reused out-of-context episode quotes or weapon animations choppily edited to look vaguely like a punch changes that.
Using the DK Bongos is probably the worst thing I've ever done willingly to my hands (keep in mind that I have 2000+ hours in NASB1), Donkey Konga works way better in every way with shoulder buttons on the GCN controller, but I also think they're one of the best things Nintendo ever made.
i remember reading ages ago, possibly around the time the movie came out, that the "according to all known laws of aviation" quote was coined by jack black and that it was included in bee movie as a weird cryptic marketing ploy for kung fu panda, but i cannot find any proof that was a thing.
People will ask why "Smash Clones" aren't more "original" as if Smash isn't a game where you can play as obvious pastiches of Ellen Ripley, Rocky Balboa, Astro Boy, Alan Tracy, King Kong, Muttley, and Snake Plisskin as well as literal French literary icon Arsène Lupin, and the most requested Smash characters don't include equally-as-obvious pastiches of the Tazmanian Devil, Boyacky, Chuck E. Cheese, and the webcomic Helvetica that only 7 people read.
Keep in mind, I do think summarising these characters as just "pastiches" is reductive, all of them are in some way an original concept (even Actual Arsène Lupin from Books) and don't have to be either, but that's the point I'm trying to make.
listen out to me on this, imagine if, in a nintendo all-stars smash game, this sound played on every zoom hit
it's so funny how the wii sports reboot is being judged like an esport where playercounts matter remotely whatsoever. not that playercounts (should) matter at all for anything that isn't a battle royale, but still, there's a level of comedy to people trying to "dead game" or "the rise and fall" ****ing wii sports
wario³, im really sorry to give you this image, but from a distance on my 1080p monitor, your icon in the profile posts section looks liike goth bubsy, wearing black lipstick and wearing a black sleeveless turtleneck tank top
I'm kinda mixed on Koopa Troopa in Smash - I think the moveset could be stellar if done right, but compared to Goomba it feels like there's an easier trap of feeling generic and like their moveset could be applied to any other Mario character (same issue I have with Toad).
Bah Bah as an attack instead of a taunt is essential.
I'm not saying he's likely, I'm certainly not saying this is a Callie & Marie situation where he's a lock and nobody even considers him in passing, (I wouldn't even consider him as much as 20% likely), but what I am saying is that - unless Smash takes a major change in direction - he is probably the most likely Western 3P that isn't an indie or owned by a rival console manufacturer.
bought an amazon card to get monke game, but i accidentally underbought, and needed to get another card, but the minimum was 15 and i only needed 4 more pounds - took the opportunity to get the 11 extra pounds and buy something i have wanted for a long time
It's really cool how arguably the first proper animated cartoon star (in the sense of having a unique personality and not being based on an existing source material), Gertie the Dinosaur, is female. I'm not gonna say that Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) is particularly woke, simply refering to a non-anthro animal as a "she" isn't a big deal even for the time AFAIK, but a historically male-character-dominated medium's first star being a woman is really cool.
It's really cool how PM used to be treated as an instalment in the Smash franchise in its own right before 3DS/Wii U were announced, even got IGN coverage, I wish we could go back to that.
No art is perfect
is what I would say if it werent for The Dover Boys at Pimento University or "The Rivals of Roquefort Hall" (1942)
it would be funny if they added toon ganondorf but made him an ike clone, or pig ganon as a bowser clone, or totk ganondorf as an incineroar clone. make cloned ganons a smash tradition
I forgot that Opila Bird is also a banban.
That one has a name too.
Epic Mickey? More like A Pig Mickey
If you think my Smash takes now are controversial, you should hear some of the things I wanted as a kid
I saw the this commercial and thought "riding on the SNES mouse should be Yoshi's new side special!"... Did I predict Two Flickies?
i think this is the funniest physical bonus ever
If someone leaked an entire Smash trailer and convinced Sakurai to get petty and stop doing these things, they would be remembered as a hero forever. By me at least. So, remembered as a hero for 60-50 years or so, I'm in my 20s I think?
Maybe this is just me projecting since I've come to hate them, but I do wonder if Amiibos could prove problematic should indie games get full playable roles in Smash. Like, the biggest indie candidates for Smash (Cuphead, Shovel Knight, Shantae) are already pretty big on merchandising, and one already has Amiibos, but on the other hand, Toby Fox is known to be against Undertale being percieved as a "brand" (which makes me wonder why he approved of Sans in Smash at all in hindsight) and indie devs tend to lean left - even those that aren't hard left are critical of consumerism - and it's not uncommon to see a lack of any physical merchandise being used as a selling point for indies.
i got recommended a youtube video called "when video games were simple" and the thumbnail was all 2000s games. as in, the decade where every single game had 6 genres.
why does sega keep doing this weird monetization
There's this weird thing I've observed about SmashBoards where I will say, extremely blunt with no ambigiuity "I think unpopular opinion", and then someone will just respond "Are you SERIOUSLY implying unpopular opinion". Like... what's the alternative? When I say "Smash should stop doing character trailers", what else could I possibly be implying except that well, Smash should stop doing character trailers?
If you ask me, this character is both "BanBan" and "Jumbo Josh", none of the other banbans have names
I'm not 100% sure, since the thread's nomination system is a bit elaborate, but it's at least very likely these two will share a rating day on RTC MVS
the true crashboards experience: "oh hey one notif" 12 minutes later "oh, that's 3 notifs"
I posted my DK moon post in a bit of a snarky tone, but it really does baffle me how internet people cannot comprehend the concept of cartoon timelines. No, there are not 2 moons on Mario's version of Earth, you are just looking at two distinct, independently created stories using the same characters that were not designed with one another in mind. This is the perfect of example of why a franchise like Mario following a canon would be bad - it's fun to run on the moon, and it's fun to punch out the moon, you shouldn't be stopped from doing the prior just because it would contradict the scale established by the latter. Suggesting the moon DK punched out is a "dwarf moon" just drains the fun and silliness of the original scene by not making it "the The Moon", and you could also argue that that negatively effects Odyssey's depiction of the moon too. -
