It's actually what got me interested in the series.

Just seeing how they'd try to make historical and mythological figures interact with each other along with people from the modern age is an interesting concept.
That is, actually an interesting concept.
Out of the ordinary.

Definitely. I was always a geek when it came to historical figures like Jeanne D'arc, Richard the Lionheart, Robin Hood, as well as mythology like the different mythologies, Epics like the Iliad, Odyssey and Nibelung, etc. So seeing a concept of historical and mythological beings interacting with the modern world and interacting with each other is a very cool concept to me.

Remember when Joan of Arc taught a dance aerobics class while Beethoven went ham on the electronic keyboard?

I'm still waiting for them to do an Abe Lincoln that gets ****ing mad over how his country has become since Trump was elected, turning him into a Berserker that just roasts the **** out of his country.

Why Abe? Because the man never lies, so all his disses will be true :V

I did see a little part of a video of Pyra's actor not saying she was not contacted in Smash Bros. Switch, am I not right?
You know what NDAs are, right? Even if she had been contracted to do voice work for Smash, she'd still have to say she's "had no contact" until such a point where Nintendo say it's okay for her to announce she's involved. So just a voice actor saying they haven't been contacted by Nintendo isn't enough to say for certain whether or not their character will appear in Smash, because they'd have to say that either way.

Remember how Palutena has an imitation voice actor in Smash?

IF Rex and Pyra are in the base roster, both of them would have different VA’s compared to their Xenoblade 2 ones.

Abe can become a Servant. According to one of the Fate Materials, he can apparently become either a Saber or a Berserker.

Which makes me want the most greatest crossover ever. Saber is announced for Smash Bros. as a playable character. And then Code Name STEAM Abe Lincoln is announced as playable in Smash Bros. as well. Now how's That for a ****post crossover? :laugh:

Maybe, but then again, Shulk's voice actor managed to voice him for Smash with new lines and whatnot.

He really isn't. At least not because he's saying things like NDA.

You just don't really know much about how the real world works.
Reporter: "So, Ewan, are they making an Obi-Wan spinoff movie?"

Ewan McGregor, with full beard, dressed in Jedi robes, holding a lightsaber and a boombox blasting the Star Wars theme: "Well, you know, I haven't heard anything yet, but I'd always be open to coming back."

Yeah, in one of the materials, they showed a list of figures who can become Servants, including Lincoln. So besides Abe Lincoln, who is eligible for Saber and Berserker, others include:

-Edward the Black Prince, who can be either be Saber or Archer.
-Queen Victoria, who can be either a Saber or Caster.
-Captain Kidd, who can be a Saber.
-The other 3 Heavenly Kings of Yorimitsu, Tsuna being a Saber, Suetake being an Archer and Sadamitsu being a Lancer.
-John Hawkins, who can be either a Rider or Berserker.
-Scipio, who can be a Rider.
-Peter the Cruel, who can be a Caster.
-William Wordsworth, who can be a Caster.
-Vasco da Gama, who can be a Caster.
-Charles VII, who can be a Berserker.
-Robert Bulwer-Lytton, who can be a Berserker.
-And Robert E.Lee, who can be either a Ruler or Avenger.

I'll talk about who I want as long as it's relevant to the discussion.

Just be glad I didn't mention Prisma!Illya's magical wand because that one pushes things to a whole new level of wrong.
Did I ****ing stutter!?
You may change your list of "Fate characters we don't talk about" when Berserker Raikou comes. I mean, I'm pretty sure Raikou will make you start tolerating Camilla for what she doesn't do that Raikou does.
Camilla with balloons attached to her does not count as a Servant
I wouldn't say too much poor design. It's just the ones with poor design are just very noticeable, especially around when the Epic of Remnant were out. But trust me, there are alot of good designs as well.
I can't express how much I ****ing love Moriarty. The guy complains about Holmes being summoned in a younger and pretty form but, like, professor? You hot as ****.
It's actually what got me interested in the series.

I got interested mainly because of Artoria because I'm an Arthur **** :V
Fate made me go "I didn't know who the **** you were before this but now I love you" and "I loved you before but now I love you even more" with a bunch of historical figures and that's a big reason why I love it. Characters from tales that suffer from old writing tropes like Mordred get such interesting and unique interpretations while also refusing to actually demonize any historical or mythological figures that aren't named Jason.

It's also a big humanity propaganda and I love me those kinds of stuff. Every historical figure is made 10x more badass than they are irl(even though it should be physically impossible with people like Cu Chulainn) and I love the "this guy/gal is so powerful they PUNCHED god in the face and lived to tell the tale!" running theme.

This isn't Japan where you can have a successful comic published monthly in Shonen Jump while still drawing porn on the side. This is America, where one errant Tracer fanart can get you blacklisted by the whole industry.
Right, but hasn't Bruce Timm and that Rebecca Sugar chick done NSFW art? I remember some controversy over the latter.

That's the power of anime... and visual novels... and video games... basically, the power of Japan.

I think I'm going to make my own take on the elephant. Taking creative liberties of course. I'm imagining an elephant version of Nidoking

Thundercats is getting a comedy reboot.
Saw that a little bit earlier. Looks like everything else that's on the air. Which is to say kind of ugly and trashy.

I guess this is the new aesthetic, And somehow it's worse than western cartoons going through that "how to draw Manga" phase of 2002 - 2006.

If there's one series that should ALWAYS have an anime aesthetic, it's Thundercats, even the 80's have clear anime influence on top of the all the Glam Rock hair the characters had. That's something the 2011 show got right.

If the Thundercats comedy reboot becomes like TTG ( which was a comedic reboot of TT ), I think I will feel even more bad for the young generation.
I actually heard the Ben 10 reboot wasn't that bad.

Still not as good as the original, but not TTG or PPG reboot levels of bad.
Oh.... Interesting.
I never knew that.
TTG and the PPG reboot killed me in the inside a little bit.

-Ben 10 is pretty decent and actually has interesting storylines
-TTG is a hit or miss, but actually has many hits
-PPG is pure ***

It looks like everything else that exists nowadays...I honestly hate that lazy made, roundy, thin lined, and with overly exaggerated expressions or glitched whatever so much, I only let it pass with Regular show because it fit it, but then everything else started to look the same and it just pisses me off seeing it still multiplying.

But oh well, this is why I don't watch T.V. anymore.

Still though, I DID like the 2011 Thundercats too. They had Lion-O's original voice actor as his dad. And Lion-O himself was voiced by the same voice actor as Batman Beyond.

Camilla is at least fine with Corrin marrying someone else and doesn't play the whole "I love you so much that if you don't pay attention to me, I will kill you as well as myself." deal. Compared to Berserker Raikou, Camilla is a big softie.

So far, we don't know who "Captain" is, especially considering that Captain is part of an entity called "Watcher". Although the fact that "Captain" can be either Rider or Avenger, and also looking at Narita's seemingly interest for novels, considering Alexander Dumas and that apparently, he wanted to make Dantes for Strange/Fake, but was ticked when he lost that opportunity with Grand Order Dantes(and apparently, also with Thomas Edison as well), I'm wondering if "Captain" is supposed to be Captain Ahab.

You probably just **** on Ben 10 because you think all reboots are bad or something. Which isn't really true.

For example, Mortal Kombat got a "reboot" in 2011 (quotation marks are because it's technically time traveling, but the results are the same as a reboot) and really, the series is better than it ever was.

-Ben 10 did not look that bad, actually. I did not see it, because I barely care for children's television shows.
-I dislike TTG, but it is not the worst show in existence.
-PPG reboot killed Powerpuff Girls. Literarlly. It is pure trash and it is great at killing me in the inside a bit.

I don't think the artstyle is too bad, but for some things it works well (Gumball and Steven Universe) and for others it doesn't.

Plenty of cartoons these days have quality writing and animation. Even better writing and animation than they used to.

But **** if I hate looking at basically all of them.

Yes, you are right.
There was this guy who told a story about prison, and everyone had to deal with a guy that smelled horrible. The reactions would not be great with that guy. Imagine if you were in a cell with him.

Also I think Smash players and average human beings are aware of taking showers and stuff, and I am sure they do. There was probably an oddball who did not take a shower.

Yes :V


That's the power of anime... and visual novels... and video games... basically, the power of Japan.
Most often than not, stories will go the route of "man is evil", "humans are not gods" or "you cannot fight nature".
Fate takes all of that and say "**** that, humanity made this history, it may have its flaws and it may be ****ed up, but this is what they all built over ages. Gods ain't got **** on them, humans can and will punch gods in the face because they can't tell them what to do, they decide their own Fate™" and honestly that's such a Mood.

I meant that captains are usually classified as Riders because they "ride ships/command crews" like Drake, Blackbeard and Columbus. I have honestly no idea what you said in that reply.

Off-Topic, but I began thinking of something and then something popped up in my head:

The Stoopid Unikorn The Stoopid Unikorn looks like he can act like the most evil and cruel villain in the entire universe, but he can not due to him easily getting banned for it. :lol:
