How about a game with the gameplay style of FFVIIR?

despite the April being good, I mostly enjoyed the Raph ending simply because of how responsible and smart he was here

but I’ll say IDW April might overall be the best one…or Megan Fox…

Noipoi I do have a request though in the heist.

If I'm in it, make me an anime girl with a slingshot.

I'm Irish. Slingshots are common to take out the guards.

Just watching the No Way Home trailer again.

Three things come to mind.

1. I really should replay Spidey PS4...............again.

2. Wish that version of Spider-Man could appear in a Spiderverse film but after the facial change and making him look way too young annoys me. Lowenthal's voicework and the suit does need recognised in a main film.

3. No matter how many times I watch his performance as Doctor Strange, I still find it hard to believe that it is the same man did the voices on so many BBC Documentaries and Dramas.
Cumberbatch is a great actor and hope he goes back to doing it in time. His voice work for documentaries on nature would be a great successor once the day the great Attenborough passes.

-----------------------------------------------

Finally gonna go to bed. Forum stress and me being in drone mode has made me sleepy.

I'll see about my Smash thought tomorrow. If not Gamescom opening, I'm betting near the end of September.

I just caught up with The Owl House. I thought Season 1 was fun but Season 2 honestly feels like a huge step up to me. Posting thoughts since I know there's a lot of TOH fans in this thread.

Spoiler: Random Thoughts

- Luz's character feels way less cheesy to me this season. In Season 1 she spent a lot of time trying to mimic Azura, but in season it feels like they're exploring her as a character more. Episodes like Finding Palisman for instance touches on how her two big motives (becoming a witch and getting back home) contradict each other, but also kind of brings to light how shallow her motive for becoming a witch (because she liked a certain book series) really was. I think this gives her a lot more depth and I feel like a theme in the second half of Season 2 will be her finding a more personal reason to master magic.

- Luz/Amity romance is handed really well. This goes back to my last point again - in season 1 Luz was just trying to befriend Amity because she was trying to copy characters in a book, but in season 2 she's developed her own feelings for Amity and seems more motivated by that instead. This again makes Luz a stronger character. It's also just refreshing to see a show not beat around the bush too much with the romantic subplot.

- People always talk about positive LGBT+ representation but I also really appreciate how Eda's curse is being treated as an allegory for disability and mental illness in Season 2, and honestly it's being handled pretty well. It reminds me a lot of Celeste, especially now that Eda is learning to communicate with The Owl Beast - I wonder if Dana Terrace took inspiration from there. As someone with Social Anxiety and ASD, this is a theme that really resonates with me. While were at it, it's also worth noting that Emperor Belos's curse has a lot of similarities to Eda's - perhaps they'll be potential foils in the future?

- The show is still not quite as dark in tone as I originally expected it to be but I'm okay with that. This threw me off a tiny bit at first because I think I let Gravity Falls and to a lesser extant Amphibia paint my initial expectations for it at first, as well as the macabre aesthetic of the show. Despite it's appearance it's honestly a really light hearted show in the grand scheme of things, but that's also a big strength in some ways. The characters tend to be pretty likeable by default which is good for such a character-driven show, and lightheartedness also lends really well to depicting LGBT+ characters and relationships as something positive.

- Give us more Willow and Gus! I really like those characters but despite being treated as important, I feel like they could be given more depth. Also Gus has a blue chameleon partner now which makes him based.

I read too far into the themes in silly cartoon shows lol.

I'm really hoping the super short Season 3 doesn't result in a rushed ending. It's a show that deserves better.

I generally agree with your point now that I have fully seen the first half of season 2.

Spoiler

I liked how King now has an actual storythread regarding the whereabouts of his father. I also appreciate the development of Eda's curse and Luz's mission to return home and her blooming relationship with Amity. I'm surprisingly interested how the Golden Guard/Hunter's arc will as well. The only things I have issues with is how Lilith, Gus, and Willow were handled.

Wish that version of Spider-Man could appear in a Spiderverse film but after the facial change and making him look way too young annoys me. Lowenthal's voicework and the suit does need recognised in a main film.

Insomniac costume popped up in Spider-Verse, and the character himself was a main spider in the Spider-Geddon storyline, mainly being a partner with Superior Spider-Man

and if it makes you feel better, his new face looks better in Miles Morales where he actually got to do the work himself for a short bit

Pokelego999 's AMA is now up

Q&A - Weekly AMA: Pokelego999 (REDUX)

Pokelego999 This AMA's subject is a name we'll remember for Eons, Pokelego999! Now this ain't Pokelego999's first AMA here as they were a subject in the past. I'd strongly recommend checking out Pokelego999's initial AMA from earlier this year just so we don't get a majority of repeat...

smashboards.com

as per the usual, if you're interested in participating in a future AMA and are not currently on the list of future AMA subjects, please lemme know

The Social Gang (who ironically aren't that social) are sick of waiting! Under the leadership of the incompetent Noi, they're breaking into Masahiro Sakurai's office to raid his figure drawer and discover the identity of the final character once and for all!

But it won't be easy. Sakurai's office is the most heavily guarded fortress this side of Fort Knox. It's gonna take brains, brawn, and guts to pull this off.

These people have none of that.

Expect much tomfoolery and many cameos in...

THE HEIST.

OK, this is Epic.

Good luck, fella artist, ya need it!

Be very patient with it, there's quite a bit to learn and it can be highly frustrating.

Granted, I was also doing JAvascript assignments under a crunched time limit and it broke me, but if you do it on your own time you should be fine

[Z25]

So thinking about the Smash Bros Maintenance.

I'm thinking this:

Smash Reveal tomorrow at Gamescom since Geoff Knightley with his connections has managed to pull off showing reveals at his shows twice. Gamescom would be a bit awkward IMO since it wouldn't be as big on the gaming calendar.

If not, I'm betting mid-late September Direct.

Either way, it's guaranteed to we'll be seeing a full wind down by Halloween of this place. Mostly Dead come 2022.

Yes I'm anxious. It's like nearing the end of the school year feeling. Yes it's annoying and I apologise.



Snake.

Let the kid go at his own pace. Noi's a great artist and it's kinda hurting to see you say that to him.

Gamescom is definitely not the place for a reveal. Geoff ain’t that good tbh.

Especially when they told last time the reveal was at the game awards. Still, September is my bet.

I just have to say...If this doesn't happen in No Way Home we riot!

After this was replicated in spider verse I feel like no way it doesn’t get done in live action.

 

[BlondeLombax]

Choose your fighter.

Is this the right kind of forum weapon?

Still skeptical that this will actually be good. Korra was eh and it was made by the original creators.

3/4ths of the people on them aren’t around anymore

Do you mind posting it? I might've been in it

What are you planning on doing if the forum goes quiet?

Probably stay. I originally joined after Sm4sh's DLC wrapped up, so it's not likely to be that different from when that was. It was a lot quieter than it is now, and that's a good thing.

Let me know if you got something later, no hurry as always.
