The final runtime for Matt Reeves Batman will be almost 3 hours long:

I have no regrets had for this entire convo

 

[Z25]

It's weird, because we have 2 'leads' pointing in different directions.


On one hand, there's all the It*lian art in the Gen 4 remakes.


On the other, Copperahjah's dex entries hint at there being a region based off of India.



So we're either getting a Spaghetti Pokemon

Or Karna and Arjuna as a pair of Legendary Indian mons.

I’m betting it’s Italy, and the copperajah thing is just updated the dex entry as a small way of building lore between Pokémon species. You could say this shouldn’t have been in the Gen 4 remakes, but GF wasn’t making that and they ignored the existence of anything outside of the region. So GF probably changed it now as this was their next project after sword and shield.

Give us an Italy region.

And make Mario the evil villian.

And make him 1000x more stereotypically italian.

I mean, the thing is, Copperajah's own Dex entry states that it was basically imported into Galar from another region, one we've yet to see, but considering real life England's history, said region would 100% be India.

Probably not much of a shock to anyone but Majora's Mask is next.

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

I know Nintendo Direct hasn't announced yet, but here are my predictions for next Nintendo Direct in this year: (Only First Parties, sorry)
First Party:

• Revival of Dead IP (Presumably F-Zero)
• Mario Kart 9/Mario Kart Crossroads? (I dunno, but it could have same style as Sonic and Sega Allstars Racing, where there are multiple IPs racing rather than a single IP)
• Pikmin 4 (Not sure, but we have Pikmin 3 Deluxe Already)
• Smash Amiibo reveal (the rest of DLC Characters like Sora)
• Chibi-Robo Remake
• Mario Movie official trailer
• New Star Fox game
• Another Kirby and Forgotten Land trailer
• Yoshi's Woolly world port on Switch
• New Gameboy Classic edition
• Gameboy games are now on Nintendo Switch Online

I know I should point out the obvious strawman fallacy but it's just so funny to me how you grouped the Lord of the Rings with Justice League to prove a point.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Is it just me, or are runtimes for some movies getting longer?
Mostly comic book based ones, but I’m sure there’s other examples out there.

Hollywood nowadays apparently has this habit of making movies especially comic book movies these 2 and a half to 3 hour epics when 2 hours alone is more then enough for any movie.

I miss the days when movies were mostly 90 minutes. A beginning, middle and end. Not too slow, not too fast, a moderate pace as all movies should have.

Because when it comes to most of these long movies there tends to be pacing issues and fat that could easily be trimmed out that is needed. Many MCU films are kinda notable of this like Eternals, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. The latter especially did not need to be an hour and a half.

I know I should point out the obvious strawman fallacy but it's just so funny to me how you grouped the Lord of the Rings with Justice League to prove a point.

I mean people are complaining about the film being nearly three hours long, yet there are movies even longer that people enjoy like the ones I listed. Kind of double standards especially when the film has yet to release.

I just hope the movie is fast-paced. That's all I ask for.

Ho-ly crap!

Only one more week until Pokémon Legends: Arceus!

 

[Linkmain-maybe]

Many MCU films are kinda notable of this like Eternals

This sucks especially because the Eternals didn’t have interesting enough characters to actually make the long run time bearable. Even worse considering that on top of being really boring characters, they were all terrible people save like 1 or 2 people.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Pokémon Legends: Arceus has been installed on my Switch.

Now I wait...

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Fiend race:

"I’m Fiend Ghost Q! And I’m hungry so dinner is on you!"

Alignment: Dark-Neutral

Origin: Japanese urban legend. A mysterious ghost said to be intense desire incarnate. During Japan's period of economic growth, Ghost Q would appear in homes, where it would eat 25 bowls' worth of rice at every meal, thereby raising the country's Engel's coefficient. However, it is deadly afraid of dogs, so by keeping a dog in hand, homeowners could simply ward it off. Unlike similar wraiths of its kind, it can’t shapeshift, always appearing the same.

Skills: Tentarafoo, Energy Drain, Taunt

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

Spoiler: Design Notes

Just like Alice and Slime, this demon is just a fictional character with serial numbers filed off, specifically Q-Chan from Obake no Q-Tarō, a comic strip series from the 60s. Hence, I can’t comment on how accurate it is to its myth but I can safely say that it’s a solid design. I kinda wish SMT V had more fiends like it and Chemtrail rather than just rehashing the Nocturne cast. Ghost Q looks both funny and whimsical, yet also eerie enough to fit into other deathly demons.

I have decided to return at my own risk since I was getting bored. I'll try to avoid as many spoilers as I can.

Also I caved in and bought BDSP, picked Turtwig and my team consists of a buncha early route mons that I'm probably not gonna keep. I love Staraptor but I used it like 3 times at this point

Nice.
Friendly Reminder that Staraptor is very effective on Fighting type pokemon, which makes you chance to win with them.

Because the artist wanted to show that he's a strong and independent male character proud of his body.
