Lilo and Stitch gave us the titular characters, who are both national treasures.

Frozen gave us Olaf, which I think is considered a war crime.

I mean Olaf was like Stitch: the marketable character.

Except Olaf was ****ing annoying and had no place im the story.

punishable by federal offense

 

[Michael the Spikester]

but Frozen was so popular because singing princesses and of there's anything Disney's known for it's that.

As if we already don't have enough of those.

 

[SneakyLink]

I like Lilo and Stitch more than Frozen. Mostly out of “I saw Lilo and Stitch first” bias, but over time I think it works better.

Unrelated, Yuji Naka confirmed on twitter that the music for Sonic 3 was done by Michael Jackson.

Happy birthday to the greatest of all time btw

“Please do not climb on the Sonic.” Not please don’t climb on Sonic, please don’t climb on the Sonic.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

“Please do not climb on the Sonic.” Not please don’t climb on Sonic, please don’t climb on the Sonic.

Of course. The one and only Sonic

 

[TheMightyP]

Sonic Movie 3 better have Michael Jackson songs in it or I will boycott

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Sonic Origins’ cutscenes are laggy as crap for me, and now it keeps crashing on startup. So uh… time to refund and get it on the Xbox I suppose!

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I'd just rather see Disney continue to try doing something different most notably as were seeing with the upcoming Strange World.

I'm so sorry that you had to suffer potential DRM related issues

I'm stupid and tired so I shall simply pretend I get the joke.

I mean it's not like Princess movies are all they make. Yeah there was Encanto but that's just a modern fantasy musical, not really a princess movie. Turning Red was pretty dang popular and was different.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This is an important question, is Taion palns lighter then his skin? I need to know if they kniw how to make black/dark skinned people or did the common mistake of making their whole body one colors show up here again?

True, true. Definitely enjoyed Encanto for what it was.

Still can't believe I'd see a day where Disney/Pixar would make a movie about puberty and periods tho. xD

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

That's not what the movie is about.

It's about funee panda

 

[TheMightyP]

It was more about coming of age and generational trauma with helicopter parenring. The puberty part was way overblown.

Which version is this, may I ask?

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Not gonna lie, it feels like a lot of people saw a movie with a teen protagonist, saw the riot over the film having tampons in one brief scene, and just assumed puberty was some massive, prevalent theme without watching the movie first. There's a lot more to take away from Turning Red than simply "PIXAR PUT WHAAAT IN THEIR FILM?"

And having tampons, a normal, everyday object in your film, does not make it about puberty, haha.

Which version is this, may I ask?

I'm playing the PC version.

I should probably warn you, I read somewhere that the achievements do not seem to work on the Xbox version.

No it was about a raccoon.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I thought Turning Red was about 9/11

 

[Noipoi]

It wasn't.

And that's bad, actually

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Im about to answer one of these scam likely calls and just blast animal crossing music into the phone. Kill them with wholesomeness

hello there

Probably switch.

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Flight race:

“Me Flight Rukh. Me fly to world’s end. Me drop you if you tired.”

Alignment: Neutral-Law

Origin: Arabic mythology. Enormous birds of prey that can be found in different Middle Eastern fairy tales. It’s said to prey on elephants, taking them up to the sky with their talons and dropping them from a height to eat the smashed body. They are vicious and take vengeance if their eggs are harmed by sailors. In Ethiopia, it is said that a rukh brought the final piece of wood necessary to complete Solomon’s Temple.

Skills: Wind Breath, Zandyne, Axel Claw, Charge

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

Spoiler: Design Notes

You know the drill; this demon would be perfect as a giant overworld encounter in SMT V. I really like this design, as it looks like a landscape from an upper perspective, reflecting how sometimes rukhs flying slowly would be mixed up with mountains. Despite their only real thing being, well, big, Rukh is usually a powerful demon with strong wind skills.

Omfg the mad man woke up, choose violence and confirmed it it

Oh my god, the music for Sonic 3 has changed, even though SEGA Official uses Michael Jackson's music.

I know SEGA is mad as hell rn

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

He saw Ice cap got killed and said "Alright mother****ers, thats it"

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Only four months until Black Adam.

Originally was gonna be over a month until being delayed.

Nice to see one of DC's best known anti-heroes get a movie. Dwayne Johnson and Egyptian Mythology to boot!

Also Dwayne Johnson playing someone who isn't good guy, granted Teth-Adam while not truly a villain, isn't exactly pure of heart being the anti-hero he is.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I let my dad listen to old ice cap zone vs new ice cap zone and he literslly did this

Even my non video game savy 80+ year old dad doesnt like it

 

[TheMightyP]

Now Brad Buxer said that Jackson worked on 1 track for Sonic 3. The credits theme was actually Buxer and became Jackson's Stranger in Moscow. Now Jackson didn't quite like the Genesisi soundfont and had Buxter go through is songs and make changes.

Now Ice Cap was Buxer as well, so that leaves two left: Launch Base and Carnival Night. Now givem that Buxer was MJ's producer and given the similarities, I'm gonna go on a limb and say that the one MJ worked on was Launch Base Zone

I can't believe Sonic's Twitter showed Sonic celebrating his birthday with Chip

「じゃあオマエも今日が誕生日だ！」💡

暖かなアポトスの昼下がり☀

自分の誕生日がわからないチップに #ソニック がそう言い、成り行きで始まった誕生日パーティ✨

プレゼント交換後、満面の笑みで、はいチーズ！📸
海風が2人を祝福して吹き抜けていきます

Happy Birthday to you！🎂#SonicPict pic.twitter.com/boGLll9Lgc

Does Black Adam really borrow much from Egyptian mythology?

From what I've seen, it seems limited to aesthetics.
