Alright, I just ended up seeing Eternals tonight. And honestly that is a top 10 MCU Movie for me.

It was just really refreshing compared to the Superhero formula thats become a little tiring as of late. Characters were cool and I liked the way they handled the villains and conflict. It was an intriguing ride all throughout and I absolutely don’t agree with it getting such bad reviews. Post credit scenes were great setups and I love how Patton Oswalt and Harry Styles are paired together.

Biggest complaint was how Kingo literally pisses off for no real reason in the climax. He had the most reason out of everyone to fight for humanity considering he literally brought a human with him on the journey. Could’ve had some cool moments but he literally just isn’t there for the most important moment in the film.
I guess his decision added some nuance between the two perspectives on the Celestials birth but having him be in the action to allow character growth would’ve been a better idea imo.

Also, I couldn’t see Sprite as anything other than a simp the entire 3rd act. My mind is broken.

Sidenote: Wasn’t prepared for Adult Times in a Marvel movie. Had to cover my sisters eyes.

Looks like Michael the Spikester is the outlier among us who have seen Eternals and came out with positive impressions.

wait…he watched a modern MCU product?

What’s that? Combee has only an 11% chance to be female, a requirement for Vespiquen?


Amusing, this game thinks that’s any kind of deterrent to me.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I forgot to name my Bidoof Peanut Butter when I had the chance.

Named after Rusty's perfect Bidoof from Pokémon Rusty.

Aaaaaaaand Arlo uploaded a negative video on BDSP lol

I'm just reading this in that Doctor Bees voice.

"What's this? A colony of Combees with only a 11% chance of getting potential Combees that can become Vespiquen Bees? My determination for a briefcase full of Vespiquen Bees ought to put a stop to that!"

Glad to know I’m not fully alone in enjoying it then haha.

It is funny how I’ve seen a few people say Eternals lukewarm reception is the beginning of the end for the MCU, as if Spiderman isn’t going to annihilate the competition next month.

 

[Noipoi]

Aaaaaaaand Arlo uploaded a negative video on BDSP lol

Not surprising. He never seemed big on it.

I’m just waiting for his Legends hot takes.

I love Arlo, and this is not throwing any shade at him whatsoever, buuuuut:

He wears his heart on his sleeve and it’s super easy to predict if he isn’t gonna like something, lol.

He wants every Nintendo franchise to have its”BotW”, I think. And it seems to me that if a game isn’t that, then, well, he ain’t gonna be interested and he’ll kinda be harsh towards it. He seems to want every Nintendo release to be big, risk taking, pushing the Switch’s graphical limits kinda game. Heck, look at how he treated Kirby: It’s really telling when you look at his reaction to Star Allies VS Forgotten Land what he wants.

This game is a near 1:1 remake that has a simple chili aesthetic and plays exactly how it did on the DS. He was never gonna like it, lol.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

NASB = Melee
Multiversus = Brawl I suppose

 

[MooMew64]

Anyways

Caught a Shinx LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yes Spider-Man will indeed

I recall him talking about his viewing experience.

I recall him talking about his viewing experience.

In the end, I didn't hate the film. I found it to be a disappointment alongside Mortal Kombat (2021) and Army of the Dead.

sounds like you need more of those 2 scenes from the movie and Angelina Jolie

 

[Just a penguin]

I'm late for Chrom, who should have been done yesterday. In my defense, Chrom (outside of suicide kills at zero) is not very memorable.
Here he is:

Next up is Mr. Game and Watch, whose randomness should be fun to implement.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Note too there are two MCU films I'm looking forward to.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Guardians 3.

Reason I also still watch MCU movies is because I like to give out my opinion on movies and just being a fan of cinema overall being this movie buff especially if I want to be pleasantly surprised. Shazam! and Joker were notably those which I gave so much **** prior to watching them. Now they're amongst my favorite DC movies alongside The Suicide Squad.

Definitely looking forward to Black Adam next year which is my most anticipated film. Dwayne Johnson and ancient Egypt/Egyptian mythology, especially being a fan of mythologies and cultures from around the world.

I got impatient wanting to evolve my Misdreavus and when I heard that Dusk Stones could be gotten via Pickup, I decided to assemble an army of Pachirisu to hunt one out. However, two hours later, I didn't come back with just a Dusk Stone...

Spoiler

As I was scouting out recruits for my army, I managed to find a full odds Shiny Pachirisu! This is my first ever random shiny during a playthrough, so I was quite ecstatic.

 

[CureParfait]

Hoping for a Mucha Lucha rep especially Sr Hasbeena makes it to Multiversus.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I remember over two years ago how anticipated I was for Brightburn and It: Chapter Two. Ended up being massive disappointments.

Meanwhile I gave Joker so much **** while looking forward to the latter, ironically it ended up being the opposite.

 

[Z25]

I just realized Infinity Train is fair game for Multiversus. I really hope we get a Rep for the show To bring interest to jt and maybe lead to the movie they want to do.

 

[Aurane]

I hate those ads for Google fi with the bad singing. Whoever made them should be put in a box with a fake gamer from Facebook and throwing into the desert.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

oh my ****ing god that Molly McGee episode was ****ing godly

Spoiler

Libby and Scratch relationship must continue on more and more and more

and Amphibia was great as well…but…

Spoiler

a calm episode makes up completely for that dark and depressing ass ending from last week

 

[Jondolio]

Good morning my gamers

 

[SharkLord]

Aight I've been out of this thread for a short while now

What have I missed (If anything at all)?

I named by BDSP rival “Skibbidy Bop” and my Turtwig “Dabeefaroni”

I also ate some cake this evening

 

[toonito]

Street Fighter x Brawlhalla Crossover: Ryu, Chun-Li and Akuma (skins) join the fray!​

It wouldn't be a crossover fighter without Ryu

Ryu for Multiversus

My biggest wish for Gen 9, that they finally get rid of the whole “starters are 80% male” thing. It’s just not fair.

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

“I’m Fallen Dantalion... Didst thou summon me to inquire about forbidden knowledge?”

Alignment: Dark-Chaos

Origin: Ars Goetia. Dantalion is the penultimate spirit of Solomon and is one of the Great Dukes of Hell. He governs over 36 legions of infernal spirits. He takes the shape of a man with many faces who holds a book in his right hand. His duties include teaching all arts and sciences and declaring secret agreements. He knows the thoughts of everyone, can change them at will, and can show his summoner, anyone they want on the earth.

Skills: Makarakarn, Tetrakarn, Spirit Drain

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Megami race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

Like most Goetia demons, Dantalion takes very little liberties with his original descriptions, not that there is a need to. The heads lining up his frilly collar gives him a look as unsettling as it is funny. The shadows spilling from his robes are also a nice touch. As an intellectual, Dantalion never learns any physical skills, dispatching his foes with reflective spells and ailments.

GodzillaMendoza dropped a new vid. A pretty timely X-Men one no less. For the most part, it goes over how the show aged pretty well for the most part. I'm still a little weary of the new season coming up, but I can only hope its good.

I remember liking most of what I saw for 90's Xmen but it was too damn long so I dropped it twice. That being said, I saw that there were people saying the show's gonna be awful because the head writer's political views are anti racism and anti white supremacy so I think the show is getting written by someone who understands the point of the Xmen, so optimism isn't unwarranted

I think the gameplay and lore reason for this that was intended is that the starters are meant to be rare creatures that dont breed as often as other animals and for that to make sense the females had to be rarer than the males.

I don’t really care if there’s a lore explanation. It feels like a corporate decision because some suit thinks a little boy won’t play if he sees the pink girl symbol on his fighting monster.

I don’t think it’s that, given how 99% of Pokémon’s monsters are designed to be cute, even the “cool” or “ugly” ones.

 

[Megadoomer]

I've got the day off of work today, so I think I'm going to try to finish Kingdom Hearts 2 today (I just have to revisit Space Paranoids, revisit Twilight Town, and then it's the final world) and maybe watch an episode of Gravity Falls to see what that's like. (all of my knowledge of that show comes from out-of-context Youtube clips and the fact that one of the Brothers Chaps from Homestar Runner worked on it)

 

[dezeray112]

I think March will be a rather interesting month for films next year in which I predict that Warner Bros' Batman and Disney/Pixar's Turning Red are the ones to watch.

Will be prepping up my best and worst films of this year close towards the end of next month.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I have this odd urge to revisit the Great Ace Attorney. lol

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I think Eevee might be my favorite Pokémon…. I really want Eeveelutions of the other types now way more then I used to…. I know what i’m doing when I get home from work.

SnakeFighter64 This might be a little random but would you be interested in a Persona Q3 concept I've been working on that brings the casts of all six games together?
