NonSpecificGuy xD So, just like with The Silmarillion, I am trying to listen to The Hobbit, and although I got used to the previous narrator, I might get used to this new one, however, at times the higher pitch makes it a little hard for me to understand, plus it feels faster. Before I did that, I decided to watch a 3 part video essay about The Hobbit movie trilogy, and oh my, it left me speechless because of a lot of stuff that surrounded it. And I'm playing SoW (still the demo, my laptop's space is getting eaten by something despite me cleaning and deleting stuff again and again) at times and yesterday after I was done taking pictures (xD I just love doing that), a cursed guy ambushed outta nowhere and I was like "Sweet, this guy is cursed so I might be able to catch Cursed Talion." but...I inadvertently beat the crap out of him and branded him in the end, though I feel what happened the first time I branded someone is going to happen again.

And I don't know how much convolution or not there might be in The Hobbit, but it already left my head spinning with the many ways "Good morning" can be used...

Doesn't mean they have to degrade it notably Spongebob with episodes like One Course Meal and A Pal for Gary or Ice Age resorting to pop culture references and toilet humor or MCU now relying on the same formula and juvenile humor (Before Guardians it didn't rely on humor as much as it does now nor was it as forced or juvenile. Pre-Guardians MCU films had a good balance).

Otherwise if not for those I probably wouldn't have a problem with them.

Not denying that Season 6 abd 7 of SB sucked, but you do realize that One Coarse Meal and a Pal for Gary was over a decade ago, abd Spongebob did get the help it needed from Season 9 onwards

The show still should have ended since the first movie. 20 years is pretty ridiculous for an cartoon as with Family Guy, and The Simpsons (30 years) like that which doesn't even have arcs or an plot/story to it aside from the movies. Something that franchises like Godzilla (Lot of movies yes but they're all not connected given various incarnations and timelines so this allows more takes and stories as GMK, MonsterVerse and Anime Trilogy has shown), Pokemon anime and the Fast & Furious (Hasn't made as many movies as the MCU had nor pump them out as much every year) has.

Pokémon anime seems to be trying to sell the idea that Gou releases raboot because it wants to battle over catching Pokémon. Why I doubt this will happen, we could see Ash get Raboot and maybe gou gets the sobble.

Ash is always more of a battler anyway and Gou and Raboot could still be friends.

We did see Ash and Dawn trade Buizel and Aipom for this very reason, but I can’t see Gou getting rid of his starter. It would be interesting though.

Something else that’s cool is the Riolu egg Ash got today only hatched because Ash had the egg. Other trainers tried but because they didn’t have the Aura connection it never hatched for them. Pretty cool detail that really strengthens that bond.

JCD is gone?

Eh, the first movie is alright tbh. Not really a satisfying conclusion to the series considering it only really starred Sponegbob and Patrick and none of the other memerable characters.

Also, funny you mentioned Fast and Furious, considering that movie used to be about cars and racing, and is now diet GTA. Like, idk if racing is even important in the series anymire.

And that's what I love about it. So dumb its fun and ridiculous in an good way. That's what makes it good how it started off as stealing VHS players, from racing to eventually government spies.

What do you mean?

You didn't see on the last page?

Is that... continuity I smell?

In the Lucario movie Lucario only interacted with Ash at first because he had a powerful aura.

So, Scorpion's Revenge has been leaking, people are pirating it and viewing it early, and clips have been posted.

Spoiler

The thing I was looking forward to the least about this movie was seeing Quan Chi again.

BUT SCORPION KILLS HIS ***** ASS IN A GLORIOUS FIT OF DISARMING, DECAPITATION, AND HELLFIRE

I AM A HAPPY MAN

For those wondering, JDCabrera deleted his current account. But I checked up on him on Discord. For the most part he's doing fine, but wants to focus on dealing with personal stuff, without getting too deep into it. Usually I don't post this kind of stuff since it isn't my personal business, but I figured people might want to know if he was doing ok.

Totally understandable. It took me by surprise for a second, but I'm so happy to know he's okay. Thank you for letting us know.

Eh, to each his own. It's just getting ridiculous imo.

 

[Dark Bagel]

Hello, Smashboards. I'm here today to talk to you about a serious and totally legitimate threat that affects thousands of people each Easter Sunday...bunny girls.

Exhibit A - Subject preparing to ambush her prey: https://rb.gy/regrpo

Don't let their inconspicuous, frilly looks fool you, these ferocious creatures are apex predators responsible for thousands of injuries each year. They are extremely aggressive, mauling any individuals that come too close to their territory, and they act as ruthlessly efficient hunters with acute senses of smell and vision. Not to mention, they can smell fear, and can run up to 78 mph. Please take caution during today's Easter celebration and stay away from wooded areas, carry a dog-whistle and bear-repellent on your person at all times, and most importantly: heavily barricade your doors at night, as this is when they are the most active and aggressive. Please stay safe this Easter, everyone.

The video essay probably goes into a lot of the unnecessary changes and extending of certain parts if o had to guess?

Yes, it has that, also how the use of CG wasn't that effective, the shoehorned love triangle between Legolas (that wasn't supposed to be there, but you know, fan service), the Silvan elf girl I don't remember the name of and a not-so-dwarven looking guy, just to name a few. And something called "The Hobbit Law" that was put on New Zealand, which actually made me sad how it affected all the actors from over there, even after the movies were done. That's what really saddened me the most. Pretty much what they don't show or mention in the behind the scenes.

 

[Knight Dude]

Also, Happy Easter everybody.

I would be very surprised if they were to do that. They've never had a main character trade away their respective mains like that, and from what I understand the issues between Go and Raboot is connected to the lack of communication between each other. That wouldn't be fixed if he just gave him away and there's more they could do with the two staying together.

Me and DerpingPikachu are friends with him on Discord.

Gonna talk to him and see how he is.

Was going through Etsy because I was bored, can somebody explain to me what an Amiibo card and an Amiibo coin are? Sorry if this is a really dumb question

GTA + John Cena and The Rock...maybe there’ll be a Thrice in a Lifetime between those two

Agreed. We saw Gou physically training with Raboot in the recent trailer. So I think it will probably lead to him considering battling a lot more and maybe even set up fights against notable past trainers down the line like Ash’s story is right now.

I don't know what amiibp coins are bit amiibp cards are pretty self explanatory, sets of cards with amiibo chips inside, they made a couple sets of those for Animal crossing and Mario spin offs.

Chicken butt. Funniest joke in the book. This is the part where you laugh at my incredible humor.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I just had an incredibly racist yet hilarious conversation with my mom who can't tell the difference between the Asian countries about a group trip to Japan that we were planning before this flu started spreading.

It was hilarious when I ended the conversation with "Mc donalds and dominos pizza is popular over there and You love those places."
She had this confused look on her face.

And thus the third semester will begin.
