Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[A Distant Demon]

Hunchback of Notre Dame II and Shrek the Third (Forever After was okay, but not great, but this thing...) don't exist and no one can tell me otherwise.

Okay I see your point but

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Hunchback 2 was horrible. I couldn't even make it halfway through

 

[Aetheri]

Movies:
Ace Ventura Jr.
Son of the Mask.
Dumb and Dumberer
Evan All the other sequels to Jim Carrey movies without Jim Carrey.
Weekend at Bernies 2.


Games:
Nuts and Bolts.
Anything involving Rabbids.

I'm actually kinda glad I didn't bother with the Jim Carreyless sequels...(except Evan Almighty and bits and pieces of dumbererererer)...mainly because they were Jim Carreyless...

 

[Red & Green]

I feel like most of the disney straight-to-video sequels were downright ****. I haven't watched most of them myself, but Lion King 1 1/2 didn't really need to exist, in my opinion.

 

[Opossum]

Remember when we did what if Smash characters were like Pokemon?

I kinda redid it now

You want a sequel that hurt me to no end try Megaman Battle Network 4. That game is straight trash


Now movie, let's take a trip back to 2007, I was a massive Spider-Man fan (still am) and the Sam Raimi movies were my all-time favorites.

Spider-Man 3 was my most anticipated movie ever especially with my favorite villain in the mix (Venom)

Cut to when the was released

Spoiler: my face during the whole movie

...yeah, that movie can go **** itself.

There was also the transition from Gen 3 to Gen 4 but I rather not go into a massive rant over that

 

[Ivander]

I wonder if the trainer's are going to be in EVERY battle or just special battles

They'd have to make 3D models and animations for all the trainer types, in addition to like, 800+ pokemon

If we possibly do get 3D models and animations for all the trainer types, I feel like I'm going to enjoy things when we see the Swimmer Trainer Class models, knowing current trends.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Gotta agree most of the Disney Direct-to-Video sequels are terrible.

I like The Lion King II, though. It did a lot of things pretty well, but it has some flaws: the main ones in my opinion being that a few plot points don't make any sense, Simba is hardly likeable, and the soundtrack, barring it's musical numbers, is rather dull.

 

[Red & Green]

EDIT: Stupid AB rant everyone's heard and probably don't want to hear again

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You know, now that I think about it a really great example would be Angry Birds. The first game was pretty great, and then they made seasons. Which while not as great, was alright. And after that was Space, which was as great as the original.

And then Rio came out.

And that was the beginning of Rovio's slow downward spiral into obscurity. Spin-off after spin-off after spin-off. Epic, GO!, Fight!, Pop!, Transformers. And then we actually got a real sequel. A lot of us were excited... until we learned about the lives system. And all the other technical **** that's in an allegedly "free" game, these days. So as expected, it was under-par. Rovio realized they were going out of popularity fast, so as a last ditch attempt to be great again, they announced a movie.

PLACE YOUR BETS, PLACE YOUR BETS

WILL THE MOVIE BOMB HARD OR BE A BLOCKBUSTER HIT?

If it does suck, this may as well be Rovio's last nail in the coffin.

Sorry for going on about the bird game, but I really hate the franchise, now. ('s fine if any of you chaps like it, tho)

My 3 year old nephew is looking forward to it

Hi there! Welcome to the N Zone!

Thanks... This is already far less akward then I expected it to be.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Ironically, I'm looking at some scenes of Jungle Book 2 right now. That, along with the other direct-to-video films, didn't need to exist.

And Disney, you seriously didn't need to release this and Peter Pan: Return to Neverland in theaters for big bucks.

 

[JamesDNaux]

On the subject of bad films, anyone here have guilty pleasure movies?
Like just really terrible movies you watch for laughs, bad movie Tuesday, whatever you call it.

I've got a thing for old B-flicks, usually black and white, the kind you can see the string the UFO is hanging from in.

My favorite is probably The Stuff, solely because of how enjoyably over the top-stupid every bit of the movie is while still maintaining that classic "horror" feeling you can only get with older movies.

I feel as if the only successful Disney sequels have come from Pixar. I can't think of any other Disney movie that could do a sequel well.

Pixels, honestly.

It's a "So Badam Sandler it's good" kind of situation.

Plus so much of it made no goddamn sense.

when Jontron reviewed Foodfight someone started streaming it 24/7 on loop.


within the next two weeks i pretty muc had a tab open for it all the time. by the end of it I had probably watched that movie about 6 times.


The review didn't do it (in)justice. it's so bad it wraps back around to good, goes bad again and then goes back to hilarious.

Phelous' review of it goes a little more in depth into the story of it.

How disgusting, it looks like it belongs on some bad box art or something...

The Sharknado films are my main guilty pleasure films. And like you said, old B-movies, at times.

I was thinking something more along the lines of a fighting game.

Maybe Pac-Man could join him? Seems to fit him perfectly well.

 

[Opossum]

Okay I see your point but

The side/minor characters like Pinocchio and Gingy were the only things I really liked about the film, but it couldn't save the rest of it.

Journey to Promethea. Found it in a gas station bargain bin one stormy night, and the rest is history. I've been passing it among my friends to share the...experience.

It has a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes for a very good reason.

 

[Coricus]

Well I'm clearly not the only one having a certain problem. Gonna share this just for the sheer feels.

Wait for it. . .

Ok ok ok lemme level for a sec.

I've been seeing these OCs everywhere.

Why the hell are they so popular? I don't get it at all.

 

[Aetheri]

Since we're on the topic of movies...

A Few of my Favourites:
LotR Trilogy
Jaws
Alien
Ace Ventura
Dark Knight Trilogy
Original Star Wars Trilogy
V for Vendetta
Jurassic Park
PotC
Beetlejuice
How to Train your Dragon
The Incredibles

 

[AreJay25]

... Kung Pow counts as a guilty pleasure movie, right?

It should totally count.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

I made a thing.

It's my destiny! And I've lost weight since my last role in a Street Fighter crossover.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

My knowledge of cappy movies is rather large.

I love to watch reviews of bad films. There are some instances in my life where I'll even be actively looking for more bad movies. I just like having knowledge of crappy movie trivia, especially when it comes to more obscure movies.

I swear I can watch How to Train Your Dragon a million times and still enjoy it. The protagonist I thought was gonna be a smarmy douche but ended up as the best character of the movie and I love how there isn't even a main villain but the conflict is there

Plus it's an underdog story done right

If a franchise is popular and has more than one of the same species, it has OCs. No exceptions. If multiple members of said species look particularly similar, the rate of generation will absolutely skyrocket due to the potential for recolors. The characters having something particularly notable and cool in common like, say, a class of weapon or a type of attack, will make the number of OCs skyrocket even without easy recolor potential as well.

As far as these specifically, Orange and Blue were the first two colors revealed, the ones most heavily promoted, and the ones on the box art, and the tentacle arrangements for players are all the same for each gender.

And why OCs in general are popular. . .I guess people just like thinking about interacting with characters they like or about the world they are set in.

I guess I should've been more specific. I meant just Orange and Blue. I know where they came from, I know the guy who made them's really popular on Tumblr, I just wanted to know why they've just been in nearly every unofficial Splatoon-related thing. I dunno, it's a cute ship, I guess...? (I mean the orange and blue in this video are OCs by another guy. Usually the orange has headphones and the blue has goggles, tho. I dunno how to explain it)

That's a good film. You shouldn't feel guilty for enjoying it AT ALL.

It's like Starship Troopers

Kung Pow

I love that silly movie, I always hoped for the sequel that it supposedly was going to have that was shown in the end of the movie, even if it looked even weirder.

 

[Kenith]

Okay, I'm going to stop creeping now just to say: I don't plan on coming back to Smashboards. But, I'm not dead. I use Twitter a lot more than before (which is to say, not at all) so if anyone wants to keep up with me you can do that.

Also, I use Discord but I'm not involved in many rooms besides @Naoshi 's. If you have suggestions for some others I can join...let me know.

I leave

It's definitely the cover art. That's what they're wearing there.

*EDIT* I STILL MISSED THE POINT FOR A BIT. WELP. I don't know the story behind the specific skin colors.

Ugh... I-I... just look at this...: http://searching-for-bananaflies.tumblr.com/search/orange+blue He based the OCs off the cover art inklings.

(Shoulda just put this up in the first place...)

 

[Fenriraga]

I love having a capture card. There's not much to see on this one but eh, if you're bored. I promise I'm not gonna flood this place with videos I record :V

Also, if anyone was wondering, vertex mods do work online even if the other player doesn't have them. Which is sweet.
