WELP, two things I'm featured in dropped today!

For one, I got invited to play Tic-Tac-Toe for this YouTube video! I'm usually only featured on other YouTube channels if I'm doing voice over for them, so this was a super fun change of pace. I love content like this, haha.

And I was featured in a new GabaLeth dub! Gotta say, I think this is my favorite comic I've helped them with yet, haha.

Would Salamance be classified as a lizard or an amphibian?
I mean you look at him and it’s like lizard guy right?
But sala ,part of his name is salamander
Is salamence a fake lizard a pretender?
Since most Pokémon are based of of traditions or folklore, and people used to believe that salamanders were fireproof lizards, and salamence's Pokédex entries refer to it breathing fire, I believe that is why Salamence has salamander in its name despite not being an amphibian.

The problem with Multiversus and King Kong is that I really classic Misway Arcade characters and Rampage fits the bill. But how do you make the Rampage crew unique compared to King Kong. They would, reasonably, have the exact same moveset. Outside of maybe 1 or two attacks.

I need this movie already
Man I legit thought this tweet meant the movie was coming out the 13th and then I remembered they delayed it
Would be really dope if the rumours are true and this trailer features Japanese Spider-Man played by his original actor.

Iirc from the Disney+ documentary I saw a while ago he's still acting and has an admiration for the role, so It would be heartwarming to see him again at least in animated form.

How does this work? I’m down for speeding up the process a bit.
Bottom floor of Area Zero with all the water puddles during the day. Make a sparkling ghost/fairy sandwich. The floor should be entirely empty since Flutter Mane is glitched to not spawn during the day, but for whatever reason the Shiny one will, so you'll have an entirely empty floor aside from the shinies.

as much as I’d love for a 3rd Spider-Man movie to release during Christmas season, it’s best to forcingly accept the June delay.

will be worth watching Miles regret being down bad

I’d be shocked if Japanese Spidey wasn’t played by his actor, especially since he was confirmed for the movie. May as well use the same actor.

Marvel, DC, DragonBall, Naruto, John Cena, The Rock, Star Wars, Halo, God of War, and now possibly MHA…at this point Fortnite may as well sneak their way into a Smash crossover down the line

It's clearly reptilian, as it displays no traits of partly living in water.
Since most Pokémon are based of of traditions or folklore, and people used to believe that salamanders were fireproof lizards, and salamence's Pokédex entries refer to it breathing fire, I believe that is why Salamence has salamander in its name despite not being an amphibian.
These points will surely keep me up at night

Anyway the reason I asked about the Reptilian nature of salemence is I've started a second play through of Pokemon with the intention of making the
Reptile house
And I've been going down some herpetological rabbit holes on if you would classify the fun blue flying lizard in the reptillian class or if we should include amphibians because sometimes when studying herpetology we include them because of behavioral patterns (we shouldn't because they're fake lizards) and what about birds because alligators and crocodiles have more and common with them than lizards and turtles really so what's the deal with airline food anyway and...


its kinda fun to take this far too seriously, I feel like an idiot looking at torkal and trying to figure out if he's a tortoise or a terrapin because do you have marine capabilities if the brackish water equivalent s ****ing lava, but an idiot who's enjoying themselves

Given the ongoing discussion of VAs vs Hollywood actors with the Mario Movie, I just think this is something cool to share. Cooper really got into it.
As much as do wish we could see more VAs in Hollywood projects, I’ve grown accustomed to celebrity actors in several circumstances. Of course there’s those castings that feel like they were just brought in to capitalize on name recognition alone, but honestly if a celebrity puts in the effort to make their voice distinct or if their voice fits a character well enough that never cases are distracting, I’m okay with it. People tend to forget it’s not just the actor, there’s also the casting director who made the decision to bring them on and the director who guides them into getting the takes they want.

Imo Bradley’s performance is directed well and fits perfectly with the character and so far I wanna say the same with almost everybody in the Mario movie.

People blame Disney for this practice of Hollywood actors as VA cause Robin Williams Genie, but they forget that his Genie had amazing energy that they could not recreate despite multiple attempts. A lot of the times it's more of a voice directing issue than a casting issue, Steve Carrell plays a fantastic Gru because his voice direction elevates the chatacter. Chris Pratt Mario is one of the few times where it's just both...

Yeah, it might’ve started with Aladdin but I honestly think Pixar/DreamWorks is where the trend truly took off. In regards to Pratt, I guess it fits for an everyman kind of character Mario is sorta meant to represent similar to Emmet but I do fell like Mario is capable of being more than that and imo Pratt’s just not a good fit and the direction for him doesn’t help the case either. He feels like that actor that was cast to bank off his name where I feel Jack Black’s name would’ve been enough given that we got 3 Kung Fu Panda flicks.

I think everyone else will be fine though. I wanna say that I’ll get over it, but now that I managed to plant a different actor for Mario in my head that I think would’ve been flawless, I can’t help but think what could’ve been.

We’re also coming off the backs of Ben Schwartz Sonic and Idris Elba Knuckles both of whom I thought were excellently cast and directed.

The bigger issue is that Mario's voice is iconic and while yeah you can't 100% adapt that into a movie without it getting a little grating, you should still at least make an effort to somewhat recreate that. Charlie Day's regular vouce works for Luigi because he's fast and frantic like Luigi, but Chris Pratt's sounding like Chris Pratt doesn't work someone who's normally upbeat like Mario.

Unironically, I would like to see Bradley Cooper Mario. I mean he can voice act damn well and idk I think he can have the energy for Mario.

I do agree that celebrities put all of their effort are able to showcase their talent and performance to breath life into their characters in order to make them gain recognition as well as to resonate and engage with audiences.

I do remember watching Aladdin when I was young and the late Robin Williams' gave a very memorable performance as the Genie which was one of the highlights in which he knows how to bring his character to life and that is what connects with audiences.

Cooper would be closer considering he has Italian blood. Personally I don’t think he needs to sound exactly like his video game counterpart, I believe what’s necessary is a voice and performance that captures the essence of the character. As such, my ideal pick for Mario would be Stanley Tucci.

Not only is he of Italian descent, he has a natural warmness and friendliness to his voice and plays his characters with such positive energy that I feel like is essential to playing Mario.
