The amazing thing about Godzilla vs. Kong is it's a mishmash of the following.

-Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (Zod-Doomsday, King Ghidorah-Mechagodzilla)
-Edgar Rice Burroughs's Pellucidar (Hollow Earth subplot and gravitational anomalies)
-King Kong Escapes (Kong being brought to cold environment and being used to find energy source)
-King Kong vs. Godzilla 1962 (Title and battle between titular monsters)
-Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris (Godzilla going "rogue" subplot)
-Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 1974 (Mechagodzilla in the film and alien origin, Godzilla "teaming-up" with mammalian kaiju)

A lot of those are a stretch and/or from the same series. I mean, Godzilla has been teaming up with enemies midway through a movie to take down bigger threat since before Zack Snyder was even born.

Also I’d hardly call it being similar to the movie it’s essentially remaking an “amazing” thing

From what I had read from the social media reactions, its mostly been positive. Not sure if I am willing to go to a cinema to watch Black Widow and instead might consider getting it on Premier Access on Disney+.

Just a reminder though that screenings for Batman vs. Superman, Suicide Squad (2016) and Wonder Woman 1984 were also positive.

Unironically, I would love to see a live action Toy Story, but only if they animate the toys using actual replicas/toy models of the characters and not CGI.

So like a live action/stop motion Toy Story.

I’d take that over the live action Lilo and Stitch they’re working on.

Im afraid they’re gonna massacre my boy

 

[Michael the Spikester]

If take that over the live action Lilo and Stitch they’re working on.

I don't blame you.

[Guynamednelson]

I think there’s a fan video of someone doing that.
Other than the human/animal characters, it’s basically using the real life versions of the toys and having them act the scenes like Marionettes. I think they did at least the first film.

There's also a live action 3, but no 2. And for good reason: Who in real life has access to a penthouse that's across the street from a big box toy store (especially after the death of Toys R Us) so they can accurately represent Al driving ALL THE WAY TO WORK?

 

[Noipoi]

I don't blame you.

There’s no way he’s gonna look that bad. He’s gotta be cute, so they can sell toys.

He’ll still probably look weird as hell though.

So tomorrow i'm getting my root canal.

...I am so nervous over this.

When I went to get two in a row (yes, seriously) it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. They prescribed Vicodin afterwards though

So ugly that he has to wear cloth on his face. Fitting because in actual myths and fairy tales ogres we're certainly unpleasant to look at.

 

[MooMew64]

Live-action Shrek.

Impossible.

Perfection cannot be improved upon. You think CGI on a mere actor could capture the Olympian god-esque features of Shrek?

How about I don’t, though.

 

[NonsensicalThings]

live action sus when

 

[Metal Shop X]

If live-action Shrek doesn't look like this.

I want my refund even if I didn't pay a ticket.

 

[Megadoomer]

Ok... should I cut Kuma or should I cut Jin Kazama?

Depends on what this is for - if it's a crossover, I'm not sure if Kazuya or Heihachi (assuming that you have at least one of them) would cover Jin's moveset or not; Kuma would be more unique, but he's not as important to the series as Jin is, so it could go either way.

If it's for Tekken 8 (I think you mentioned making a roster for that), I figure you could find other characters to cut. (going by the end of Tekken 7, Jin's going to be important, while Kuma's a series' mainstay like King - even if it's not the same King or Kuma, a version of that character has been in every game)

They already did.

It’s called “Youtube Rewind 2020.”

Yes
He already exists

My shiny new cards finally got here!

I’m just waiting on the replacement copy of Emergency Call and then my Hero deck(for now, anyway) is good to go!

Well you ee the last time i tried getting this root canal done the anesthetic didnt work and i was in serious pain right as the procedure was about to start, the dentist had to move the date as a result.

I'm nervous that the anesthetic wont work this time either.

Nice! I really need to order a secret rare Bahamut Shark to max out my Fluffal deck.

Yeah. It’s for a crossover. Not Tekken 8. So.... hmm.....

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Remember when the live action Disney remakes were rare and actually kinda good.

I actually like the live action 101 Dalmatians as much as the original.

The pendulum is called Frightfur Meister (so you can search it with edge imp chain). The pendulum effect lets you tribute a level 4 or lower Edge Imp, Fluffal or Frightfur and then special a fiend monster from your deck of the same level. You use it to summon lilith from your deck to search for necrofusion!

I'm pretty sure this is what Disney execs are like whenever there's a pitch for a new live-action remake of one of their older films:

Ah, changing your username every month now? Just like old times

 

[KillerCage]

Right guys I need to help to fully decide on what game I'm going to get next. I am getting a new game in an hour or so..... Lets' try this again!

The choices are now:

View attachment 320334 View attachment 320335 View attachment 320336
Pokemon - £40/$55

Pikmin - £30/$40

Monster Hunter - £33/$45
And which would mix in well with THPS 1+2 Remake. My indecisiveness is killing me!

Please help me my friends.

Pick the game that has Steve the Pikmin!

 

[dezeray112]

That's not true, the Age of Ultron was meh for everyone.

Age of Ultron was probably not the best, although I would also throw in Thor: the Dark World too as that was my least favoured MCU film.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

A few hours late champ..

Got Monster Hunter instead.

I’m confused.

Drat. This is what I get for living on the East Coast.

I’m not a dancer. I love music, but I just can’t move to it.

But I was listening to the Sonic symphony (standing up for some reason) and I found myself dancing for a good ten minutes.

Why’s Sonic music so damn good?

 

[KillerCage]

I mean, no, it was a good movie actually, and you're just wrong but okay.

Captain Marvel wasn't good.
It wasn't bad either.
It was just meh.

 

[TheMightyP]

Gravity Falls really dedicated multiple episodes to killing every single GF ship out there.

Well, all except for one.

Yo Shroob

Ya watch Scott The Woz? Specifically, di ya see his E3 video? I thought his thoughts on Smash were pretty interesting. Honestly, I can't help but agree with him on most of his points, and I think he outlined a lot of the reasons why speculation has gotten so boring for me these last 4 months.

No one agrees on the series overall quality.

The music, though? That stuff's universal. Sonic music just is good.
