I think I know what's wrong with that Joker design, his forehead is too smooth and he needs a more pronounced brow like his original inspiration "The man who Laughs". Right now he looks too young/non threatening.
That's actually exactly what I was thinking, I just couldn't really articulate it well so I went with the highschool kid comparison.
Maybe it'll look better in-game and at different angles but it doesn't leave a good first impression

My sister wants to see the joker movie and I have to take her.

To keep myself entertained I will be silently cracking gamer jokes throughout the film.

Everyone’s saying Smash should represent more groups in their DLC, like women, or people of color.

But Mortal Kombat is out here doing god’s work, representing the most oppressed group of all.

GAMERS.

Remember when I suggested that "Union" comic book idea? I decided to replace my lead character who was to resemble Spider-Man to someone whose powers require a lot of rules. He'd be a matter displacer who can swap objects of equivalent mass as long as he can visualize the distance between the objects... :yoshi:
I've not heard of your comic book idea before, but that sounds interesting and the idea for a power that could lead to a lot of wacky situations. I'm writing/brainstorming my own super hero setting stuff as well.

My idea was of an rookie superhero trying to do his duty while dealing with a "union" that limits him. When I say "union" I don't mean like a team-up like it might sound. I mean like a literal, real-world example of a union applied to the superhero "industry" :yoshi:

I watched Hobbs and Shaw between my shifts at work today. I've only watched the 7th and 8th Fast and Furious movies, but this works well enough as a stand-alone. It was dumb, but entertainingly so.

I have no idea how the series started out with stealing either DVD players or TVs with built-in VCRs (not sure which; maybe both) to basically becoming Metal Gear Solid. Between the enhanced super-soldiers, a killer virus that targets people based on their DNA, and ID-controlled guns, I was fully expecting the Rock to ask why the villain wouldn't die, and Idris Elba to respond with "nanomachines, son!"

I didn't see some of the cameos coming, though I probably should have.
Considering that David Leitch worked on Deadpool 2, Ryan Reynolds makes sense, and given the Rock's presence, I really should have expected Kevin Hart to show up. I feel like the person who played Hobbs's brother was another cameo, but I'm not sure who.

I feel like the movie strained a bit against its PG-13 rating - I could see at least two occasions where it could have used its one f-bomb aside from when they did, (one where it awkwardly cut off before it was said - "Welcome to my island, you--" - and one right before the credits when one of the people in the spoiler tag was talking about Game Of Thrones) and a lot of the stuff that the director's worked on is known for its over-the-top action and ultra-violence. (John Wick, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde...)

Despite my unfamiliarity with the Fast and the Furious movies, I'd watch another one of these. The banter between the Rock and Jason Statham was worth the price of admission alone.

Let me guess: It was that bad?
I don’t know if I would call it a good movie. But it was exactly as bizarre as I would want a live action Dora movie to be. It was really funny. Not necessarily smart funny. But funny.
I don't know. Why don't you tell us?
I watched a slow decent into madness. And i’m perfectly ok with that.

It's still hard for me to believe that they still haven't added any new characters to Mario and Sonic.

So I pretty much decided taking a long break from TohoKingdom and SpaceBattles given I'm still being the noob I am over there. I may had gotten better here but perhaps if I do the same as I did here maybe that will work.

interesting, there is a "Vigilante Union" in my setting but it's more of a law firm/legal defense fund for Non-government sponsored heroes.

Person vs. Society is a fun conflict type for Superhero settings. Do superheroes run the union in your setting?

Instead of buying Sony, or buying Spider-Man, Disney will buy the legal system. Then, they can use Spider-Man whenever they want without getting sued.
It’s the year 3300. Disney has owned the government for three centuries. We don’t have citizens anymore. We have cast members. We live in Disney’s United States of America-Land. And everyone’s jobs revolve around maintaining this corrupt crazy crimson carnival. And making movies to get in more tourists from the outside world.

No, there's plenty of non-superpowered individuals running it. The main face our hero interacts with [supposedly] has no powers, but he's unnervingly cordial.

It's more of a deconstruction of superhero tropes. For instance, I envision a scene where our hero can easily dispatch an enemy swiftly and ethically without engaging with him but Mr. Wang (the union rep) tells him to engage in combat and use his power at the very last minute because "no one relates to a hero who can solve problems easily." :yoshi:

I'm curious, as a person of color, tell me why Smash needs characters just for that? Gamefaqs always goes for this topic and I don't get it.

I find it interesting that people like to make memes about Disney taking over the world, despite the fact that companies like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google are nearly 4x bigger than the Mouse House (Like they have enough to purchase Disney outright), and are much more likely to achieve world domination first
