DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Avian race:

1647873122145.png


“I’m Avian Holawaka. You can think of me as a carrier pigeon, I guess.”

Alignment: Neutral-Law

Origin: Ethiopian mythology. Holawaka is a legendary bird sent by gods to deliver a message to humanity, telling them the way to be immortal. However, on its way, Holakawa encountered a snake and pleaded to share its food. Snake accepted but took the gods’ message in return, therefore learning to shed its skin when it grows old. Since it doomed humanity to mortality, the gods punished Holakawa with a painful, incurable disease.

Skills: Mazan, Dekaja, Blind

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

As far as I know, Holakawa is just a bird, no human head involved nor its gender is known. Though, it’s kinda smart to give human parts to a bird who caused humans to be mortal. The rainbow feathers are a bit at odds with her expression but I guess anyone would be cranky if they had a painful terminal disease that can’t be cured. This is one of those demons that I really started to like after learning about their lore.

So about Morbius which recently had its screenings with some impressions:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Morbius. The conflict and character development is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of classic English dramatic literature, most of the weight of the scenario will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Michael’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from William Shakespeare literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these scenes, to realise that they're not only humorous- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence, people who dislike Morbius truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the depth in Morbius’ quote: “I am Venom. <snarls> Just kidding, I’m Dr. Michael Morbius at your service.” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Jared Leto's genius wit unfolds itself on the cinematic screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Morbius tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then, they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin’ personnel kid 😎

Jjust to cover all my bases, this is a copypasta and sarcastic

I mean, it is 2022 I feel like being a furry isn't really the "Cringe Abomination" that it considered to be ten years ago. And thus more people are comfortable with being one.

It's not like they're really harming anyone for the most part, in fact, a lot are functioning members of society. Like one of the lead members of COVID research and vaccines is one, like that's quite a turnaround from how they were precevied so many years ago.

I guess there's Mario movie stuff?

I got more excited for the Tekken anime. I REALLY hope it's good. The story for Tekken 1 - 4 is pretty cool honestly, especially 3 and I like the artstyle enough, sharp triangle shading included. I also liked the voices that we heard so far. Jin sounds about right, and Jun sound cooler than I thought she'd sound. Heihachi's English voice is fine too, but I admit, after hearing Kevin Michael Richardson do his English voice in Soul Calibur 2 as a kid, it was hard for anyone else to live up to that.

Can't WAIT to see Nina and Eddy, two of my other favorite characters besides Jin.

If 1 million players get 3 stars on it, then and only then will you get F-Zero back.

I am genuinelly curious what the Mario Movie is gonna look like.

Because all these other video game adaptations been banging recently (except Uncharted), so Mario's gotta be good. That's why they're taking so long, they cooking something up.

I will say this: thanks to the medium and Nintendo's involvement, the first Mario movie will feel more like a Mario movie than the first Sonic Movie feels like a Sonic Movie, and that gives me some hope.


Idk if that makes sense to y'all but yeah

Sonic movie was really good, but it kinda felt like a throwback to the era of live action cartoon character movies from the early 2000s.

Which is why 2 looks so rad.

The only bet worth taking on in the Mario movie is if the ending will be a random dance party.

If I had to describe, one felt like a movie with Sonic, while 2 feels more like a Sonic Movie. Which tbf they did promise that if the first one did well, the sequel will have all the Sonic elements we love (like the Master Emerald, Angel Island, Tails and Knuckles, etc)

90% there's a dance party scene, and I'll put additional money down if it's a remix of the main theme of Mario.
