Or Bugs’s could be this. (Skip to 2:34)

Haha that's great - I hadn't seen that one before.

 

[Mamboo07]

To be fair that could even be DLC.

But yes I'd love for that being crocodiles are my favorite animals.

I picture the crocodile evolving into something like this as you level up:

I can imagine possible evolutions like one having the crocodile manipulate magma and lava itself.

Man, are those some big crocodiles or what? I never imagined them being that big.

Yup, they were that big back in the prehistoric times:

Dayum! I wouldn't want to be around those kind of crocs, if you ask me!

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Man, are those some big crocodiles or what? I never imagined them being that big.

Everything was bigger back then.

There were an beaver the size of bears. Giant monitor lizards as big as an saltwater crocodile, wombats the size of hippopotamuses, and the biggest of all the mammoths reaching the size of an small sauropod.

And of course we can't forget our fellow megalodons.

 

[Lamperouge]

What's wrong with the dub?
That's the version I saw and I still loved it.

I just thought the voice direction was pretty weak and I'm not a fan of Yuri Lowenthal as Simon.

Same, Australia where I live would be awesome and terrifying to have those things in modern day.

I knew that about the beavers. Man, the prehistoric days had a lot of big animals back then. Deadly ones, too. There was a big land sloth, too. Shame they all went extinct.

All due to an combination of human hunting and climate change granted had climate change not been an issue, I think there'd still be some today or at least persisting to historic times because climate change caused environmental stress and population bottlenecks among megafauna making them more vulnerable to human hunting, evolving in the absence of humans also really didn't help either.

Australia on the other hand had more to do with human hunting and burning of the environment due to the Aboriginals firestick farming.

Crikey! That's the biggest looking crocodile I've seen.

 

[Wademan94]

Crikey! That's the biggest looking crocodile I've seen.

Ain’t she a beaut?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Same, Australia where I live would be awesome and terrifying to have those things in modern day.

Megalania, Thylaceo carnifex, Quinkana (An terrestrial crocodile), Wonambi.

And along with it were the herbivores like Procoptodon, Diprotodon, Genyornis, Palorchestes.

 

[Rangez]

Here's a happy B-day to Rie Sonomura !

 

[Mamboo07]

Crikey! That's the biggest looking crocodile I've seen.

Here's another that walked like a bipedal human:

(Oh and it had hooves, like horses and cows.)

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Here's another bad boy here. Basically if T-Rex and an crocodile had a baby.

 

[Wademan94]

If only Zinith were here to witness this...

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Without an doubt my favorite marine reptile.

The Kronosaurus.

The more I watch the reveal trailer for it, the more I desire to be playing that Miles Morales game right now.

After I found out about MKvDC I thought about doing Amalgam Comics but with MK and DC instead of DC and Marvel. Then I saw Fire God Liu Kang in MK11 And it got me thinking. What if there was a crossover fighting game with an “amalgam” mode. Where each character is fused with their opposite in the other side and they have access to the full range of abilities of both original fighters. It’s totally unbalanced and just for fun.

Being one of those hardcore Godzilla fans I enjoyed it myself King Ghidorah was especially one of the highlights in the film.

Honestly, King Ghidorah's characterization was definitely the movie's strongest point and in itself may've been one of the best versions of the character. Kevin in particular is a little treasure and deserves all of the love.

So I've decided to give Artemis Fowl a watch and I'm beginning to understand why this was placed on Disney+ instead of the cinemas.

Spoiler: My review of Artemis Fowl

• The characters were poorly developed and lacked any kind of progression.
• The story fell rather dull and rushed.
• The performances of some of the acting was rather stale.
• Colin Farrell was wasted.
• Not even the performance of Josh Gad could help save this film from disaster.

Overall, Artemis Fowl is such a disappointment and I would not recommend watching the film (even though its on Disney+) and it is not really Kenneth Brannagh's best directorial work.

Rating: 2.5/10

That's disappointing to hear. As a fan of the books as a kid I was going to check it out, but from the sound of it, it's probably not worth the watch.

They made him out to be the King of Terror he truly is.

He would have Thanos upon being in his mere presence mentally breaking down in fear before fleeing like a little girl crying for her money.

King Ghidorah is the true Mad Titan.

One who doesn't feel remorse for his actions. Craves nothing but death and destruction shaping planets to his own will the way he wants it. Pure evil.

And why he and Ridley would be best bros no doubt.

smash 4 was released in the 2010s

I'm a... little nervous about going into work tonight. It's just me and the manager, and it's still my first week of training for night shifts. I don't know what to expect.

The manager's a relatively nice guy and all, and we both are nerds about games and anime and stuff, but he's a bit awkward to talk to. From what I've been told as well, he and I don't agree on some political stuff (I'm centrist, he's right-wing leaning) but as long as we avoid talking about **** like that we should be fine.

Maybe I'm stressing over nothing.

Try to play it cool. As long as nothing comes up that's makes you trigger, you'll be fine. If he does bring it up or something, maybe tell him you're not comfortable discussing this and want to have more neutral conversations.


I have to get this off my chest.

Since Black Lives Matters movement sparked worldwide, I've been analyzing myself daily and discovering things that I never thought I'd be doing in my life. Yes, I've been disgusted with myself over the last several years not being aware that I was spreading a toxic environment both on the boards and irl. Takes me a step back and want to redeem myself here after seeing all the baggage that's been carried.

First of all, to anyone who I offended or made snark comments to, my sincere apologizes. I'm aware that I've done more harm than good through those specific years and towards specific users. After reading through some of the comments I've made, I came to realized that I was just being a straight up asshole with no sensitivity whatsoever. It sucks because it's part of the past that I have to accept about myself and want to make it a better future.

I am aware that my words may mean nothing to some of you, and I fully understand that. I'd like to redeem myself and have open and honest conversations. Can tag me, PM me, etc. What I'd like to see (and everyone on the same page) is our Smashboard community able to have open and honest conversations that we can understand the future. Actions prove louder than words and I'd like to keep my action going to continue being a positive person in and out of Smashboards.

It's best to remember that Spirit Events can take liberties. Mii Fighters still fall under the concept of Miis, who did debut in the 2000's. Another example could be Hero, who has multiple alts who have their own debut game in different eras. Or, for instance, consider the fact the Mii Fighters have costumes that can come from the 2000's.

You can basically make it work if you try hard enough. Not saying they're great ways to justify it, but concepts might matter more than "the way it's playable". Another example is Mr. Game & Watch. The literal named version debuted in Melee, but it's based upon the Game & Watch characters ages ago. There's more than one way to look at it.

That makes sense. Thanks for the examples.

There were also dragonflies with the wingspan of eagles, millipedes that were as long as a man was tall, and scorpions that were as big as today's crocodiles (admittedly I am talking about sea scorpions which are more closely related to horseshoe crabs than actual scorpions but my point still stands.)

Thankfully giraffes and elephants managed to hang on because Africa's climate changed less dramatically through the end of the ice age. Some of the last terrestrial megafauna to live today.

On a different note, the deep sea also happens to be a hotspot for megafauna, and since its so hard to study there might be more massive creatures down there that we still don't know about.

Definitely an time I don't think anyone would ever go to. They thought creepy crawlies today were bad enough, I can only imagine how petrified they'd be of those.

What also helped them was evolving alongside us, so they learned to know we were an threat. Plus Africa aside from the Sahara becoming an desert 6000 years ago has remained rather unchanged.

Without climate change or had humans arrived later in the New World notably (Say Paleo-Eskimos 5000-4000 years ago which by then megafauna there would had recovered), my nominees of megafauna I think would persisted to historic times or be around today are woolly mammoths and short-faced bears (Their extinction had more to do with the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis which wiped out the Clovis culture).

Speaking of, am I the only one who thinks Origami King was based on Odyssey and, of all things, Wind Waker? Sure, there was a boat in the trailer thing, but a lot of the locations can be compared to Wind Waker (and Odyssey) and I’m pretty sure there was a mini game or something that reminds of of that one game in Wind Waker. And the trophy system also reminds me of the similar one in Wind Waker. Just me?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Which is a bit disappointing since having Peter be a mentor figure or kind of an older brother type to Miles is really interesting.

That and like, 90% of my favorite Spider-Man stories (even Late Ditko/Lee stuff) had Peter in college, not in high-school.

I agree, but at the same time it does make sense for the kids. Makes it easier to market them and best Gwen together to them via having them all be 15-16 and coincidentally having spider powers at the same time.

also whats the other 10%?

Is Super Mario Party worth $40? I know it's not the best Mario Party, but it's on sale and I enjoyed it at a friend's house.

definitely get it. Very fun game. Much Much Mario goodness

I wonder how the world would be if the Argentavis was still around.

There's no records or strong beliefs of these things ever hunting humans as prey to my knowledge, but if a bird of this size and wingspan just suddenly showed up in the sky one day, I can imagine that most people would probably be terrified.
