I'm kind of torn; I'm playing through the Kingdom Hearts series, and on one hand, I feel like I should watch the movies that the worlds are based on beforehand, so I can have some context for what's going on. (it helped a lot with Tron, at least - I've been out of the loop on Disney movies for a while now, so a lot of the releases from the past ten to fifteen years will be unknown to me, with some exceptions like Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero 6, Frozen, or the later Toy Story movies)

On the other hand, I want to go into the games knowing as little as possible about what levels appear so I can be surprised. I guess if I unlock a level and I haven't seen the movie, I'll watch it before I get too far into the level - I know Kingdom Hearts 3 has an issue where the stories in the levels tell you very little about what's going on, and I'm not sure if that's the case for Birth By Sleep or Dream Drop Distance as well.

I am sorry


I bought the Crazy Frog revival album instead.

For Nick Fury in the MCU, the Ultimate Marvel version of Nick Fury was based on Samuel L. Jackson, who's a big fan of comic books.

(this was in 2002, well before Iron Man 1 was made)

The story goes that Mark Millar used his likeness without permission in The Ultimates (the Ultimate universe version of the Avengers), his agents got in touch with Marvel, and to apologize, they said he'd get to play Nick Fury in a movie if that ever happened.

Plus, if you have the opportunity to cast Samuel L. Mother****ing Jackson in anything, you really should take the opportunity to cast Samuel L. Mother****ing Jackson. He's an incredible actor, and I'd probably watch a movie where he spent two hours reading the phone book. (I'm exaggerating, but only slightly)

(I'm not sure what Link or the Legend of Zelda has to do with this; Nintendo's a company that is very resistant/slow to change, and there's a very big difference between Marvel and Nintendo)

Yeah i know this story already i just think giben that in the comics Black nick fury is jr while the old one is senior giving sr some cameos wouldve been nice!
After all s Jackson is amazing!

Yeah i really shouldnt be scared the main reason i am is because atleast botw link is a ticking time bomb (cus arm) altho killing link of wouldnt really mean his end!

I decided to finally patch up my Serperior's moveset. I had a second Serperior with Contrary that was a Special Attacker I grinded a while back, and seeing that my first Serperior was better on Physical offense, I decided to fix the moveset. Previously, it had Leaf Blade, Cut, Frenzy Plant, and Leaf Storm. I dumped Leaf Storm for Outrage and Frenzy Plant for Aqua Tail (I know I dumped Frenzy Plant, but it was either that or dump Cut, a legacy move).

So now my Serperior is battle ready, finally. It's gonna be his first time being useful since he was my starter in my first White playthrough. Looking forward to it.

I just wanna remind everyone that Metroid Dread is cool and fun and good.

That's it, have a wonderful evening.

Hey guys, what are you doing this Thanksgiving? For me, I am going to see my sister and her family at Norfolk, Virginia.

I still live with family so no travel needed.

Gonna just spend some time at home and relax, beat a few games, use the time off as a way to try to get in a better routine for daily living, all that good stuff.

In KH3 they do something different by having most of the worlds be entirely new plots or very loosely adapting movie plots, with the exception of the Disney princesses who's worlds are one to one recreations.

Oh my God the localization team for SMTV went nuts on these demon negotiations.

I'm so happy that the Spinosaurus after its first appearance way back in Jurassic Park 3 of 2001 is finally back for Camp Cretaceous after 20 years.
(The creator of the Netflix show said that the Spino might be the very same one from the 3rd movie.)

I've realized I need to make a catalogue of my Pokemon. Not because of any particular reason, it's just so that way I have a record of them in case I ever lose access to my 3DS again.


Problem is that will take awhile so I've been procrastinating

Wow, just as old now as the anniversary it was meant to celebrate.

...At least they got it right five years later, yeah?

So just posting two things and tagging two friends.

1. Since M MooMew64 was talking about it, finally made some overdue progress in Metroid Dread. Second EMMI was kicking my ass and leaving with half. Have made enough progress and now at the Kraid boss fight . I'm proud of myself.

2. So Lamperouge just finished reading the first few chapters of Haruhi Suzumiya. I'm loving it a lot and man is she a bit of an ass.
I know there was someone who was a fan of the anime but forgotten who it was. Gonna annoy me not remembering.

So gonna make some more progress or something in writing or gaming. That is all for now.

The difference between the comics and the movies is that in the comics, the classic/original Nick Fury is a World War 2 veteran who used some kind of serum to artificially extend his life (at least, that was the story up until recently - it was revealed in Original Sin that he aged in real-time and the younger Fury was a Life Model Decoy beyond a certain point in time), whereas the MCU was much more grounded (especially back in phase 1), so they couldn't have him being a WW2 veteran.

As a result, it seems like it would simplify things to make him the only Nick Fury, like in the Ultimate comics; having two different Nick Furies in the MCU seems like it would be unnecessarily confusing.

Change in comic books comes and goes - some times, it sticks (it seems like Carol Danvers will be Captain Marvel and Kamala Khan will be Ms. Marvel for the foreseeable future - it's a logical continuation of Carol's character), and other times, it doesn't. (Amadeus Cho as the Hulk, Richard Grayson or Azrael as Batman, Ben Reilly as Spider-Man, etc.)

EDIT: I forgot that the name of the first Robin is censored

Haruhi Suzumiya

I was close

I'll still refer to her as Haruhi ***** in honor of you.

Edit: Or not...it's censored now lol.

Obviously it wouldn't last, but Nightwing as Batman was kind of awesome, he felt like the only one other than Terry that could replace Bruce properly, especially the earlier parts where Bruce wasn't around, having them both be Batman was of course, pretty redundant. Not too many replacement characters I end up liking, but some spin-offs were cool.

I think my only issue is when multiple heroes are running around with the same hero name. If you're gonna keep them alive and do stuff with them all, giving them their unique identities would be for the best.

Am I missing something or this an in-joke. Both of yous got your friend confused here....

One time you asked Lamp the name of an anime girl and I tried to epic troll you with an elementary school joke.

Let’s celebrate by watching the two best things that came out of this game.

You know who else is censored on Smashboards.com?

 

[Pokelego999]

Spoiler: BDSP Cynthia Fight

So Cynthia uses Full Restores, but her Milotic's main strategy revolves around Flame Orb. What's funny is she heals the burn everytime she uses the Full Restores, meaning you can replace Milotic's burn status with something more useful like Paralysis or Toxic in the interim. Use this knowledge for later.

Only a matter of time before the staff blocks Slugma for sounding too similar.

The moderation around here lately is a joke.

reminds me of how we currently have 3 Spider-Men (or 2 since Peter’s in a coma), 2 Wolverines, 2 Poison Ivys, and 3 Batgirls in the comics. Odd how in a way the Spideys are the only ones with full uniqueness despite the same name most of the time
