Evolutionary, foxes originate from a wolf-dog lineage.

However, this was like 10 million years ago. Saying foxes are dogs is like humans are monkeys: It has some truth in it but you're stretching the terms too far to group two different species together.
So, the genes are almost identical but they aren’t technically true canines?

2 cancelled and forgotten negatives out of the multiple positives...and that’s still better than Superman’s “Slap A ***” moment (also Lois turning black)
Most of DC’s negative aspects in this regard happened many decades ago. Safespace and Snowflake happened LAST YEAR.

Both companies have pretty much equal amounts of staring rolls filled by basically every race and skin color. Heck, DC just released a book dedicated to all of their Asian heroes for.... I can’t remember why, and they introduced a new one on top of it. Plus they just relaunched MILESTONE MEDIA!

And neither company is doing so well with LGBTQ+ representation at all so... you know.

One thing I'd love to see announced (either at E3 or at EVO) is a Marvel vs. Capcom collection, similar to the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection.

It seems like it would be pretty straight forward to include the six Capcom-made Marvel fighting games:
The Punisher might also work as a bonus inclusion (it's a beat-em-up rather than a fighting game, but it's an arcade title much like the other six), but while it would help to preserve the game and make it more accessible, my concern is that it might raise the game's age rating due to the inclusion of blood and tobacco, so it might be best to leave it out.

Aside from that, they could include character profiles, artwork, online play (at least for the Marvel vs. Capcom games, though all of them having online play would probably be ideal), and behind-the-scenes information. I figure that Marvel and Capcom are already collaborating on Arcade1Up machines, so something like this seems more plausible than it used to be, at least.
I'd be down for a Marvel Vs Capcom collection.

A Tekken collection would also be nice, though I feel like that's less likely. (my ideal line-up for that would be Tekken 1-5 and Tag Tournament)
As long as that also means 3 and Infinite get switch ports too. I want them to be portable! And SF4 and SF5. And Tekken 7. And SoulCalibur 6. More FG ports on switch!
This has been my dream game for god knows how long.

I havent played MVC2 since my local arcade's machine broke in 2015, and ie never actually played MVC1.
While I do want a collection, my real dream for 2 is a remake in the style of Ultra Street Fighter 2. New HD non-pixel art sprites drawn by the actual artists at Marvel Comics.

Sometimes the word dog is used as a generic term for a canines as a whole, and sometimes it's used specifically for male canines. Language is fuzzy sometimes.

It's like how we call all felines "cats", although less common.

Two animals become completely separate species when they are no longer able to reproduce with each other, or they can produce a child but that child is infertile (ligers, mules, etc).
This is the colloquial wisdom, but scientifically "species" doesn't actually have an exact definition. For instance, grizzly and polar bears can produce fertile offspring but are usually considered seperate species because they fill different niches, but the difference is getting blurrier as global warming causes polar bears to breed with grizzlies more often.

There's actually a lot of debate over the classification of dogs. Domestic dogs, wolves, and coyotes can all produce fertile offspring and often do in the wild. And don't get me started on dingos.

Taxonomy is a mess.

no, but seriously, I'm really bored right now.

I also don't really feel in the mood to do anything either, so I'm kinda in this paradoxal state where I want to do two different things at the same time.

This might be my mind wired to think in Turkish: We never use köpek to refer to anything but domestic dogs.

It's the opposite for felines, they can be all called kedi. Though you might want to clarify if you're talking about a lion or something.

To be fair it's not really common for canines to called "dogs" in English either, and especially not foxes.

But it does happen sometimes and it'll probably cause confusion if you don't make it clear that you're using "dog" as a more general term.

Wiccan and Hulkling being married (and even had their own major Marvel universe storyline), American Chavez, Star Lord being bi sexual, the entire mutant population getting down on one another, Nico and Karolina being together, the time when the entire Marvel universe helped with the casualties of 9/11, the entirety of Falcon & Winter Soldier, Hulk calling out war genocide towards a woman who didn’t care over a child’s death until Hulk dissed her (something I saw on Twitter, Miles, Kamala, Amadeus Cho being a Hulk, Kitty Pryde being an X-Men leader while also being bi (mostly lesbian as of late tho), and so on so forth...while DC (outside of the somewhat current forcing of black Clark Kent Superman) has been slowly lacking as of late. Not allowing Batwoman to be married and trying to force Harley to be straight only for the last few years are easily the biggest factors against them (and trying to make Clark Kent black despite there being an actual black man who’s Superman...and president)

No. Marvel is the super privilaged comic company who everyone assumes quality from regardless of reality and is owned by the ****ing mouse. They get no points. Marvel never does anything better then DC and any assertion to the contrary is Mouse propaganda.

Sonic Colours is coming to the Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PS4 on September 7th.

Also, there's a compilation of Sonic 1, 2, CD, 3, & Knuckles (called Sonic Origins) coming out next year.

EDIT: also, a new Sonic game coming out in 2022.

idk why you're basing Marvel things on them being owned by Disney...kinda a bad way to look at them

Hard to get excited about that new Sonic game teaser when it didn't really tell us anything.

Colors Ultimate and Origins are awesome, though.

They should have remastered Unleashed. Or even Heroes.

It's been nearly 20 years yet Heroes has never been ported to anything.

Not gonna lie i actually agree with this. I find Marvel to be pretty overrated.
