tfw Sky Kids 2 hits all the themes of Jurassic Park in three minutes.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Imagine hidden abilities in real life.


"Honey, we can't keep the Ninetails anymore. It's ability has set fire to our house three times just this week."

"I don't know why, but I feel unnaturally Intimidated by the presence of an lion who can generate high volts of electricity. Silly abilities."

Actually, now that you mention Ninetales, can we have the Vulpid-line be real, too? Alolan Vulpix is just too darn precious.

The Jurassic Park team were quite aware of what real velociraptors were like. They were made bigger after being disappointed by the real ones.

The ones shown in Jurassic Park are essentially just movie monsters.

Yeah, because they were more concerned with making an entertaining movie then they were with educating people. But it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence in a movie's themes when it lies and exaggerates to get its main "could/should" point across.

It's a fun horror movie first and foremost.

 

[osby]

You ever realize that by by proxy


Due to Persona in Smash


We've have a series in Smash where ****ing Hitler was a major antagonist of a game in the series?


So this is why no one talks about Persona 1/2. /s

My feed never shuts up about those two and how I'm a dirty casual who knows nothing about actually good games for liking the dreaded modern Persona more.

Then again, it's the same with pretty much every longlasting video game franchise...

Do you think

God stays in Heaven

Because He too lives in fear of what He's created

Here on Earth?

Oh no, he meant canonically.

It's canon that the Jurassic Park scientists edited dinosaurs to make them more appealing to a crowd. At one point they even mention a T-Rex with feathers not being marketable even if its accurate.

Oooooooooooooooooh.

When I read "Jurassic Park team" I thought of a team of movie makers.

Shows me to criticize a movie I've never seen. I was so preoccupied with if I could make fun of it, I never thought of if I should. Although that's a Jurassic World clip. Is it just a recon?

Lookit Mr.Funnyman over here.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

lthough that's a Jurassic World clip. Is it just a recon?

Not exactly. Back when Jurassic Park was first made, it was fairly accurate to what we thought dinosaurs were at the time, barring the mixing of raptor names.

This plot point was added to address the new things we now know.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Fun fact: at one point during Jurassic World's production, the team came up with the concept of the park scientists splicing dinosaur DNA with that of humans, in order to create the also cnceptialized dinosaur-people mutants.

I'm pretty glad they didn't go down that route. But it just goes to show, the team is aware that the dinosaurs in the films aren't true to the originals even in-universe and that some people in the films are all too willing to create mutants and new species with the DNA esources they have.

Mario did it first.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

By the way ZephyrZ have you read the Jurassic Park book by Michael Crichton?

It's almost a completely different story and in some ways its more accurate.

Still can't believe all the character changes that happened when translating the book to the movie.

And Mario also showed why it was a bad idea.

Movie Koopa is still better than Bowsette tho

I haven't. I'm probably going to watch the movie and read the book separately at one point. The former so I understand all the references and the later because I have a sister who keeps recommending it.

It's kind of weird that I haven't seen either actually since I've always loved dinosaurs. I've never seen anything Godzilla either despite having a Godzilla toy as a kid. Those things probably would have been right up my alley back then but now I feel like I'm late to the party.

I only watched the original Godzilla for the first time in my life like maybe two years ago.

You're never late to the party on monster movies.

Eh, wasn't 'that' bad an idea.


What do you have to say, King Koopa?

I'm waiting for Wario Land on the Switch...
(Wayforward is doing a new game, it won't be Wario or Shantae.)

Of course, it will be Shantario.

 

[PeridotGX]

Does anyone else have a character that they never use, but really like playing? That's where I'm at with Rosalina. Once every 2/3 months I play her, I think "wow this character is fun, I should use her more" and then never do that.

 

[Diem]

A nearly 150-page long document detailing all the vile things Sabi was involved with got released just a little while ago. I won't link it here, but it seriously is that long. Without even knowing what's in it, that length should tell you how bad it is. What is actually in it, though, is some really absurd toxicity and extremely inappropriate behavior, to put it lightly.

I never really knew who this person was, but I saw the name come up a lot around here. So for those who aren't in the know, and in case this Sabi person ever shows up again (doubtful, given how bad this situation so his reputation is 0 now), stay away from him.

It was already linked here and discussed.

I think we're all super done with them if we weren't already.

The rabbit hole in all this is stupidly deep.


I'm just glad it's all coming to light in the end.

​

My man. My dude. My brochacho. Did you just block someone after an argument, immediately go to a different thread, and then just indirectly and publicly called them out no hesitation? All as my own two eyes see the entire event unfold?

 

[Deleted member]

deletedddddddd

 

[Will]

No? It's something I felt for a while, and the mod team has done nothing about it. Nothing to do with Gwen.

Yes I did block them because I'm not putting up with their behaviour. But this is nothing to do with them.

Oh well, I'll have good faith. I ain't gonna peep further, I'm way too confused to understand the severity of this supposed toxic troll situation.

 

[Deleted member]

ttttttttttttttttttt

 

[Will]

Dude, can you not? I'm not arguing on this thread too.

I already did, that's the point of me saying

I ain't gonna peep further

Because I ain't going further lol

What do you have to say, King Koopa?

At the very least, I don't think the concept would work well in the Jurassic Park universe.

A nearly 150-page long document detailing all the vile things Sabi was involved with got released just a little while ago. I won't link it here, but it seriously is that long. Without even knowing what's in it, that length should tell you how bad it is. What is actually in it, though, is some really absurd toxicity and extremely inappropriate behavior, to put it lightly.

I never cared about Sabi to begin with, so as I've said previously, I simply hope and pray for the best for the people who were victims of his behavior.

.....My friend, take a small breather.


I'm not sure what's going on here, but I don't see.... any reason for tensions to be high right now. Step away from the screen for a few minutes, open the window and get some fresh air, just... relax? No one here's dog piling you.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I mean, I get where you're coming from.

But I think you're overreacting to what other people have to say to you. At least tonight. Doesn't mean you're not welcome hete.

It doesn't seem welcome here because Noipoi is gone. He's usually good at this whole "welcome newbie" thing

Dude, take a break from the internet. We're random strangers. Don't let us get into your head over some opinion differences.

 

[Shroob]

I'm 29 years old, have no job or social life, and also am under quarantine. I too spend most if not all my time online, so I know where you're coming from in that regard.


I know things suck being cooped up and not having a good outlet right now, but... ya gotta relax a bit. I.... 'really' don't see any hostility in this thread directed at you at all, but at the same time, you also have to understand that when someone's being blunt or a bit snide, they're not being 'toxic'. Toxic would be akin to saying "I ****ed your mom.", or just being incredibly hostile and ill-mannered around you, someone disagreeing or gently poking fun isn't toxic, and is more or less just 'the norm' for online.


This thread is casual city, if someone pokes fun, they're not doing so in a negative light.

I feel you, dude. I'm not a fan of Geno just coming back as a Mii costume either.

I want you to feel more welcome here. I don't really know what to say, but welcome to Smashboards, fellow Genobro. Let's support our favorite characters together!

Last day of zoom today. Rest of summer being fully online but still a crazy three weeks. Had it was face to face, I’m sure all of my clsssmates would be crying knowing it’s the last time most of us will be together before most graduate this December

I think you need to realize the difference of someone attacking you, and someone disagreeing with you.

I.... haven't seen anyone personally attacking you. I checked the Newcomer thread and, while Gwen's blunt, nothing there read like an attack. Being blunt isn't inherently toxic behavior. Could she have worded it better? Yes, even she admits that, but it wasn't a personal attack on you.


Nor is there anything right now.
