Truthfully with a magic god glove there are thousands of things he could have done. Thanos was psycho. Too wrapped up in his own philosophy to see things for what they are.

Especially when alone he could have snapped his fingers for universal peace and universal problems solved.

But nah we gotta have a movie.

Which is, ultimately, worth it. Because it is fictional. Just please internet, stop it with the “Thanos did nothing wrong” crap. It makes it harder for the rest of us to like the film at all.

Do that enough and there will be half and half permanently.
What would you call that? A squkid? A skquid? A Kidsquid? A Squkdid?

Something that needs to be put down?
An abomination?
In pain?
Living in hell on earth?
What a blob fish looks like and probably feels like?

We are so excited to partner with @markarotGC and publish #BlazingStrike early next year for @NintendoSwitch, @playstation4, @playstation5 and @Steam.
The game is looking great.

For those who love sprites. I've been waiting for this.

I follow the game's artist on Twitter and his work is amazing:

I think is the perfect day to bring back this old Promo Art to celebrate the news !
This was the first Blazing Strike illustration I made and it is what got me started with the project.

I just polished some details and made the characters more 2021 accurate! #BlazingStrike pic.twitter.com/XvOGaBjbNC

Not exactly my kind of game but I really dig the art direction.

In other news.

Godzilla vs. Kong will be coming out on disc on June 15!

@Mamboo07 NonSpecificGuy @JDCabrera @DanganZilla5

Sorry if I couldn't remember the rest of you to tag.

Did Godzilla 2014 ever come to 4K? I have the Blu-Ray of it but the other 2 are 4K and I plan to get GvK on 4K.

I feel like I’m about to explode. Like something big is about to happen and I don’t know what it is.

He didn't even need the Double Boost from Sonic Forces to do that.

I would like to share something awkward, if not funny to you all. Regardless of what genre I've had versus someone in, am I the only one that have felt the presence of my opponent's potential capability in contrast to my own at times? I'm incredibly intuitive and when it came down to fighting games and chess especially, I struggled to deescalate those feelings of disparity or uncertainty in order to execute a better performance.

Ambiguously, sometimes I feel that a person's play style, particularly online, it speaks to me in interpreting what they are feeling during the moment, which it's rooted from whether or not they may rage quit, which that guess happened half of the time.

I'm weird like that. ^_^

The Yokai watch remaster so far is pretty comfortable to play, the joycons feel a lot better than the 3DS control setup of the original helps that there's no touch controls in the Switch version i guess.

You should see a doctor about that.

That’s another franchise I’m not actively betting on but could easily get added to Smash.

It did. Came out a week before Godzilla vs. Kong released.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I could see it happening if only because any deals for Smash would have happened BEFORE Level 5's current money problems.

Although the only real moveset i can think of for a Yokai watch character is based entirely on 4 which is Japan only.

Curious...are you casual or competitive? Either a pad or arcade stick would suffice for me personally, but of course I'm using the former for traditional fighting games such as this.

Hmmm....I would like to test the exceptional prowess from what I've observed from this generation, though, I'm indiscriminate on who I add to my account or who I face, as long as the ping is decent between us. My check will be at the ready next week, to purchase this.

Casual. But, in controllers, I actually prefer a fight pad when it comes to fighting games (the arcade stick was a birthday gift)

So uh... thoughts on the Sonic Movie 2 plot?

It's Sonic 3 I thought it would be Sonic 2....

They are cowards for Skipping Sonic CD.

 

[CannonStreak]

I saw it, and it looks great. I posted this on this sites article about it.

Spoiler

"Something tells me this emerald they're after is Knuckles' emerald and he has better intentions than bad, but he doesn't know that Robotnik may betray him and use the emerald for himself when they find it."

What do you guys think of my little theory here?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Sounds simple like the first film so far, but who knows this and potential future films could dive more into being like the games eventually. I do expect we'll see Super Sonic at some point.

They skipped Sonic 2 first.

The first movie wasn't good because of its plot so I'm neutral.

Hope they'll balance the new characters and the old ones well, though.

Let’s be real. That final battle in the first movie basically was super Sonic without changing color. It was honestly probably written to be super Sonic but SEGA demanded it be changed because they dared to make it a natural power of his and not something from the chaos emeralds. Should have been Super Sonic.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I still can't believe Sonic the Hedgehog stole the plot to 1986's Howard the Duck. xD

 

[cashregister9]

Spoiler

I can actually understand why they skipped Sonic 2, And that is because of the Death Egg and the Death Egg Robot, But we are already dealing with a franchise about talking anthropomorphic animals so I don't think it matters that much. Unless the CGI cost would be too high.

 

[CannonStreak]

And was more successful than that movie. LOL

You sure like jumping to conclusions.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Fair point. You got me. It just... you’ve seen that final battle. If he’d turned yellow it would have been a super Sonic battle.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Do you guys think the Howard-Sonic plot comparison was a coincidence or do you think the latter purposely took ideas from that? Just curious.

I think it was a coincidence.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Wonder what the reason was for skipping Sonic 2 in terms of plot...

Maybe if there is a third movie, it will be the Sonic 2 of the movie franchise.

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean, the sypnosis sounds exactly like Sonic 3. Knuckles and Eggman team up in search for an Emerald, Sonic and Tails know he has suspicious motives for using Knuckles, Eggman is probably going to betray Knuckles, it's all there.

Bonus points if Eggman finds Knuckles in the Mushroom Hill (Yeah, I know it's a planet, I'm calling it Mushroom Hill)

I think both movies just follow a fundamentally simple and generic script.

If you strip them to their basic plot framework, most mainstream movies aren't actually that different from each other.

I mean I dunno man...The similarities are rather canny which is why I express doubts it might have been a coincidence...

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

 

[osby]

If this movie does well, I hope they'll do Sonic CD next.

I doubt they'd do her justice but I need to see my girl Amy in the white screen.

Having trouble updating Pokémon Xenoverse.

According to Reddit, it looks like too many people downloading on the server.

That's what happens when story writing is all based on the Hero's Journey.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

There's also nothing wrong with a movies being similar.

The MonsterVerse films. If you watched the Heisei Gamera Trilogy, you'd be surprised how much the MonsterVerse movies took from those and IMO those Gamera movies are not just the best kaiju films but my favorite movies ever.

Gamera: Guardian of the Universe/Godzilla (2014)
Gamera 2: Attack of Legion/Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

Hell the skullcrawlers are pretty much the MonsterVerse's Gyaos' in terms of fast-reproductive ravenous predators with unsatisfiable appetites that if left unchecked is a threat to all life on earth.

The fact Godzilla vs. Kong had Godzilla going "rogue" like how Gamera did in Gamera 3.
