SnakeFighter64 SnakeFighter64 I just found out that apparently Kevin Feige officially said that Bruce brought everyone back from the Snap safely, specifically mentioning if they were up in the air they would be brought back on the ground.

...but, Sony recently released an in-universe Daily Bugle blog site that features in-universe articles and one of them is about a stuntman who Blipped while on set filming a stunt, and when he came back he hit the ground and was rushed to the hospital.
So either, the story is made up or nothing Sony says anymore can be trusted because of the Spider-Man issue and it's safe to say that the website is non-canon.
The full article (on thedailybugle.net) says that the stuntman was never Blipped away, and he faked it to claim insurance money. As far as we know, what was said about reversing the Snap still applies.

God dammit, Curse of the Last Post :laugh:
Isn't this technically spam?

It's not like Sonic Movie is preventing SEGA from making other media adaptations of Sonic. Also recreating a 2D OVA in 3D sounds like too much work for very little reward.

What those three have anything to do with each other?
The person I was responding to said that he doubted a Tekken character because we already have Terry. And I was just pointing out that the pass already has two JRPG characters, and as such the genre of the series of origin doesn't really matter.

Considering what happened with Sony? Yeah, I'm not taking their word on "official cannon". And It's good to know that this is how it worked, even if it should have come up in the actual movie.

I suppose they could address the rest of my concerns in future films but... i don't know. I just can't believe that the creators didn't think that those issues could prevent people from enjoying the rest of the movie.

Michael the Spikester said that we probably won't get Heihachi (or a Tekken character in general) because Terry is in Smash, but the Fighters Pass also has two JRPG characters (Joker and Hero), so it's not like it's limited to one per genre.

I missed the other post, sorry about that.

Like, it's a movie with a dark premise. If you have a problem with half of the universe vanishing, you probably shouldn't have gone to see it.

Really? That's awesome. I knew you got new temporary party members during the new story segments, but if you get new permanent party members to then that's wild.
I have a feeling they are just talking about
Hendrick because he joins you late late later in in the game
If this version is the reviewers first DQXI game, i feel that who they are talking about

I feel like Heihachi should be considered in good shape because, despite those concerns that Sakurai has referred to with “not knowing how to make him work”, having Mario v Ryu v Terry v Heihachi would be a battle royale to end all battle royales when it comes to fighting game crossovers.

I just don’t think Sakurai could see that opportunity and pass it up, but I could be wrong.

two JRPG fighters, two fighter fighters, and one platformer?

kinda dull and ugly but at least we get more in the future

On another note, I just made this custom Switch bundle skin online:

It’s for that reason that I also suspect Lloyd at some point. Tales is the last piece of the puzzle needed to complete the holy trinity of JRPGs. Whichever one we get, I feel it’s almost certain that the other will be a part of the post-Pass dlc.

DQ and Persona are both JRPGs that got characters. But those series have their differences so it shouldn't matter.

So saying a Mishima can't happen because Terry Bogard, another fighting game character is in, seems a bit hypocritical. Especially since Fatal Fury/KOF and Tekken are pretty different from each other, and nowhere else is this more evident with Geese Howard being in Tekken, and having unique mechanics from the Normal Tekken cast.

Of course, Tekken being a 3D fighter has it's unique elements to add to Smash, but that still might be too hard to pull off currently. I don't know.

It’s a Marvel movie. It’s about superheroes for peat sake!

I was only ok with the premise on the grounds that everything would be okay in the end. That didn’t happen, I didn’t expect it not to happen because I assumed the filmmakers actually had hearts, and as such, now I have a problem with it.

Well, not every movie needs a happy and perfect ending.

I didn’t necessarily mean Heihachi should be in the current pass, but just added in general.

I’m assuming Ryu Hayabusa is going to be the last one, and if he isn’t then I can be surprised. I just really don’t know what the last pick is going to look like. I do feel that adding another set of 5 definitely means we’ll be getting some top choices. That, I think, we can look forward to.

Snake, you do realize that's not how movies work, right? Not every movie is going to end on a good note, or even end on a positive!
Hell the whole point of this Movie Arc is that some choices may not always lead to good results(Thanos had good intentions, but hurt everyone in the proceedings of his ideals)

Most Marvel (and superhero) movies aren't exactly sunshine and rainbows, so not sure why Endgame should be any different. And again, they did advertised it as a very emotionally taxing movie. I think actual story was even more cheerful than trailers suggested.

Magically fixing literally everything at the end is bad writing. When bad stuff happens, it will have consequences or story will feel shallow and pointless.

Also, equating writers' personality with the stuff they write is a super bad habit. Fiction =/= real life.

Worth noting that it's the lesson to be drawn from Clint and Natasha's arc: Sometimes you have to decide between two bads and suck it up.

Whatever.

Marvel’s over anyway. It’s not gonna be a part of my life anymore. So why should I care.

It still bothers me.

Literally the only thing I can say is that I disagree with most of your points and that we have a fundamentally different understanding of life and of storytelling.

Pfft. I like that.


To play as Snakefighter or to not play as her.


Watch DQ4 probably have the weakest protagonist stat wise and the dream still stays dead.


Got a laugh out of me, but no Joe.

Sadly, I can't fit all of those characters.


I try to avoid canon names to give it my own personal flare.
Go for Arale. I say that because she's also a character made by Akira Toriyama, and well, I was thinking of Bulma, but that was too much on the nose

Aren't you going to film school?

You of all people should know why that's bad storytelling

Did...did you literally just shrug off everything he said without a second though?

Seriously, if you want to at least be respected(unlike me obviously) you should at least consider the other side(and also try not to start any controversy, but that's inevitable anyway)

Of course I know about that. But I also think it’s bad storytelling to have an event in a story in a superhero movie that’s so tragic it prevents people from enjoying the moments that are supposed to be exciting.

I don’t have anything to say about his points. Because he’s not wrong.

That's okay, but I really hope you at least agree with me that writers aren't really cruel people just because they write bittersweet endings.

But... it wasn't that tragic to most people. People who were snapped came back to life and most of the heroes are still alive. I hardly saw anyone so affected by movie's sad moments to actually enjoy it but you.

Not that there's anything wrong with not liking upsetting stuff, but I don't think it's bad writing.

Everyone yet still ignores the natural irreversible deaths notably those dying in car accidents, plane crashes, boating accidents, on life support and undergoing surgery.

Hulk may had saved those people who were on the plane that vanished by putting them on the ground but explain those.

And again how many relationships are forever ruined for those brought back only to find their loved ones having moved on with someone else or appearing in your old home where someone is living in now.

Can't also forget how realistically the post-snap world wouldn't be what we saw in the movie and rather more like a hell hole like Mad Max. 50% of all life gone. Do you realize how bad the economy would crash?

Yet this movie had the nerve to have stupid humor like Hulk taking selfies with girls or Fortnite ignoring all those.

I concede to that. They’re not heartless.

It’s just... I don’t know. I feel like you have to try really hard to not think about all the people who would prefer to not keep what they got. The people who didn’t turn out well like Tony. Or the people who wouldn’t have lives to come back to the way Scott and co did.
