Trying to figure out why general Smash fandom thinks emotional attachment is the be-all-end-all, but also feel any kind of reason to argue points for or against a character, and I think my brain is actually going to break.

Went down the "is Rayman a mascot" rabbit hole and found some technically-substantial evidence (specifically WayBack Machine crawls of Ubisoft websites), but that evidence is all localised entirely within a span of 2-to-3 years, and either internet exclusive; representing only Ubisoft's children's game range; or both.
Reading up My Little Pony discourse, and apparently there's kind of an animosity between toy fans and show fans, because the prior doesn't like how all the toys are made show-accurate - instead of uniquely brushable - and overwhelmingly based on the same 8 or so main characters to appeal to show fans instead of fans who want to make up their own personalities and stories.
Fandom is a flat circle.

Baby Pauline does not exist yet and I am already ready to die in her defense (i would still prefer baby wario or baby yoshi though)
switching copyright to "use me or lose me" is a bad idea (way too easy to loophole no matter what interpretation), but it could - under the right circumstances - cause the funniest thing ever
I feel like I'd be a lot more proactive in criticising AI if the large anti-AI sentiment wasn't so happy with talking in a weird "us vs. them" way. Even when referring to an inanimate object and by all means true, the idea of "we are inately better than them" just freaks me out, especially when I'm part of the "we". You're starting to sound like Ayn Rand, stop doing that.
I think that pretty much every adaptation Warner Bros has put out in the last 10 years or so, with a few exceptions, feels kinda like... for lack of a better term, bargain bin public domain adaptations? Like they want to be seen as willing to let artists take risks with established IP, but there's also some things that can't or must be omitted (particularly aesthetically), and it ends up making a bit of an uncanny valley between a faithful adaptation and something new using the same content.
I learned what a cult is by watching the Nostalgia Critic talk about how he learned what a cult is by watching Chip N Dale.
I was going to make a "what's the matter lagerboy?" meme about playing characters based on function, but I realised that "functions-are-charactersboy" and "emotional attachmentboy" are both too long and ruin the sentence flow, and I just simply couldn't use "F.A.C."
What is it about Pokemon specifically that attracts people with strange traditionalist views of gender expression? Like, people will just flip out at the concept of a female Machamp or Meloetta not having a gender in such a ridiculous way I don't think I ever see anywhere else.
The best thing about parodies made by people barely familiar with the source material (Robot Chicken, Mad, e.t.c.) is when they accidentally make a wildly deep cut just by googling "FRANCHISE NOUN character".
You know who this is, but not from Sonic.
Shoutout to Smash alts that did come back unaltered, but are basically gone because they don't work as well with the art style changes.
just got powerwash simulator, it is really good but also impossible to not see it as a taco bell simulator.
Pack it up, this is the best tagline on Letterboxd
Oliver & Company (1988)
A young cat named Oliver is left alone in a kitten box, while all the other young cats have new owners. A big dog named Dodger shows him how to get food and later Oliver lives with him, his owner Fagin and Fagin's other dogs Tito, Rita, Einstein, and Francis. Fagin has one problem besides being...

It's really funny how Letterboxd has a "popular lists" window on every movie, but each time it's like the same 3 lists that are all called "Every movie."
I like how Pokemon Sun and Moon is basically already a bit of a 2010s time capsule, given most of its villains either redeem or turn out to not be all that bad, and Team Skull are probably modelled after Supreme hype bros. Both of these I think are positive things mind you.
Willyoupressthebutton dot com, if you consider it a video game, is the most frustrating video game ever (or second behind Goof Troop Jigsaw Puzzle, probably a tie) because almost every question has a really obvious black-and-white answer, but the majority consensus is always wrong.
The world if everyone who wants a new installment in a dormant 25-30+ year old game or TV show rallied around reasonable copyright lengths instead.
- Dig Dug: Divorced
- Pac-Man: Divorced because of cosmic circumstances from another, nigh-incomprehensible plane of existence
- Q*Bert: Had kids with Josh Gad
- Donkey Kong: Widower
Once a VERY long time ago I was reading IMDB joke lists, and found one called "Striminal Activity", which was a reference to some sort of PSA trying to get millennials to call pirates "striminals" or something and was like saying these are the movies striminals watch, and the first film, and therefore thumbnail, was the SNL Coneheads movie - so everything I see anything related to that movie I don't recognise the film as being called "Coneheads" but rather "Striminal Activity"
If there was a site called "Netflik" (singular), what movie would be on it?
I've been recommended this video a few times, and always assumed it was just a Mario 3 level mod or something, probably made by someone who doesn't like the New games, but now I know what this is, it's peak
wait is she singing-
I'm starting to think that a lot of people less-so view Smash trailers as "part of the product" as opposed to marketing, and more just don't know what advertising is as a concept or how it works.
Mr. Beast: "Life is so much easier when you're... bro"
News outlets: "Mr. Beast thinks life is easier when you're broke!"
Mr. Beast: "I didn't say that, that's slander, but uhh... now you mention i-"
games regulators when kids play luigi casino with fake money
games regulators when kids play dlc casino with real money (it's not technically addictive)
Nobody takes this trailer **** seriously, it's just devolving into vaguely personal insults based entirely around "You DO know why you're wrong right? proceeds to say nothing".
You're a Red One, Mr. Rock, you really were a heel. You've got heirarchy shifted and armour in your contract, Mr. Rooooocccckkk (I'm done)
why is just eat trying to recruit me into scientology?
The whole "non-sapient rat accidentally plays a crucial role in saving the universe" thing from Avengers would be a really cute 7-minute cartoon, but sounds like (second hand info here, maybe it works in context) a horrible plot point for a superhero movie.
Something funny I learned from NASB discourse is that there are people out there who love Nickelodeon cartoons, but hate gross-out jokes.
How does that even happen? Am I just out-of-touch on what Nickelodeon - as a cultural entity - is???
big dream land would be the campiest stage in smash history.
make it happen
guy who does not know what a celebrity is, as a concept, plays gex and thinks gex is referring to random people he knows by first and last name
I'm going back to the "Disney platform fighter" idea and... ohh no, I've reached the biggest stump I've ever gotten while entertaining this concept...
Who should be the "Captain Falcon clone function": Powerline or Miss. Piggy?
pixels (adam sandler) alts in smash would go hard.
Flicky spirit enhancement situation is crazy.
One of the funniest things I remember from absorbing way too much Nickelodeon discourse through NASB speculation was people saying CatDog is "too mean" and then immediately complaining about the fact the show's finale revealed their mother was a sasquatch to give kids a nice message about adoption. -
