Definitely not a fan of Hey Arnold going back to only a single character, especially when it seems like it's the only series to have fewer characters in the transition from 2 to 3.

Agree, at last bring back Grandma Gertie who is a better joke fighter than Banana Guard in MultiVersus

 

[Guynamednelson]

so spelling it as "Zim" and "Tak" or even "Gir" just looks wrong to me.

At least GIR has a reason to be spelled in all caps: It's an acronym for "G Information Retrieval".

Meanwhile Irkens' names are only capitalized arbitrarily.

 

[Alicorn]

Tak is a really, really racist stereotype, that's my issue.

Yeah that was the big smelly walrus in the room I didn't want to talk about. Tak just would not work today for that reason.

To be fair that's not a huge bar to cross

(I like Gertie tho)

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I hate arbitrary capitalisation (and other weird trademark-protection things like that, like every pokemon having a sheep plural), so yeah, I'm gonna go with Zim and GIR. Maybe Invader Tak for the other Tak, but we really shouldn't have to distinguish. Nobody talks about Bosko in MultiVersus, we can leave this relic-for-a-good-reason behind too.

They’re a corporation. They get no sympathy from me.

The phrases “Nelvana is going out of business” and “X person who worked at Nelvana lost their job” hit very differently.

Well, the prior implies the latter - Nelvana sucks, yes, but it going out of business is not a good thing - even putting aside job loss, it's gonna just result in all the content being sold off to other large companies (likely WildBrain/DHX) and either the animation industry becoming even more monopolized, a bunch of works getting lost in the mega-sale shuffle, or both. This would be true of even Disney really. It's very rare an original creator re-obtains the rights to works they sold to corporations or any other favourable outcome.

Gonna repost this here

Peri being part of Hazel's moveset makes no sense. Her fairies are Cosmo and Wanda, just like Timmy, and Peri is Dev Dimmadome's fairy.

The finale leaves it a little vague as to where Peri ends up. And it would be weird to have Cosmo and Wanda with two characters.

Accept these are just international distribution rights. Nickelodeon still owns the friggin ip. You own a thing and you gave someone else the ability to sell it overseas. If they go out of business, why would you not get that back?

Think the new Avatar from this upcoming show would end up being playable in a future title someday?

Or should we get some more “Not the Avatar” characters from Avatar first?

I'm not talking about FOP... I posted it because of FOP, but the discussion pretty quickly skewed somewhere else.

I’m still gonna say they should just cut the middleman and make Cosmo and Wanda playable, godchild free.
They’re the main draw of the franchise, are the only real constant between versions, don’t seem to have the myriad of weird legal issues Timmy does, and all the attacks would have been coming from them anyway.

Timmy, actually. Tommy is from Rugrats.

I know, dude, I got auto corrected .

 

[Opossum]

Honestly if they want to cut out the middle man I say they should add Jorgen von Strangle. I think he's one of the better options for heavyweight characters they have left.

I dunno, I mean the Crimson Chin is right there.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

You could make a really cool fighter in its own right out of all the parody superheroes. PTM, Big Man, Reptar, Ace Savvy, Invincibubble - the fact there's a decent chunk of non-parody superheroes in the Nick library is icing on top

Especially the Von Strangely part
