apology tour begins

Actors literally lie for a living so forgive me if I don't take this applogy seriously

I don't blame you for thinking their apology is pure PR talk but this is a pretty bad take.

Am I wrong though? The best actors are the ones who are able to fool you into thinking that they are the characters they portray on screen. That's literally their job

So what you're telling me is that the MCU is a big ****ing lie?

That means Spiderman isn't real... I think I'm gonna need some time to process and accept this...

Been meaning to tell you for a while.

Sorry you had to find out this way champ

Acting and lying are different things though.

No matter how immersed am I in a story, I know for a fact that it's not real. A good actor doesn't trick you, they pretend well enough for you to suspend your disbelief. This doesn't necessarily require the skills you need to lie as they try to reflect an imaginary character using their body language and intonation, not improvise on the spot and play along to reactions. If you know anyone who worked at the theatre as I do, you can find them saying that a lot of actors are pretty bad liars.

And that's without going to doing something as a job isn't necessarily a reflection of your character. Scientists' job is to tell the facts but that doesn't mean they don't lie, for example.

I think it's gonna take far more than an apology tour to put Ezra back in good graces.

That said, they were a wanted man and a dangerous criminal so uh... shouldn't they be arrested and in jail now? Why is WB housing them?

While not talking about them specifically this video does a good job to potentially give an explanation

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Genma race:

“I’m Genma Kukunochi. What would be of this world without the trees over our heads?”

Alignment: Light-Law

Origin: Japanese mythology. Kukunochi is the god of trees. It is said that he was born after Izanagi and Izanami finished giving birth to the gods of the sea, rivers, and mountains. His name consists of the word for "stalk," and a masculine honorific. Together with Toyoukehime, he is referred to as one of the yafunegami or, “kami of houses”. Kukunochi is worshiped to this day on the occasion of roof-raising ceremonies and the blessing of new houses.

Skills: Tetrakarn, Makarakarn, Energy Drain, Diarahan

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

Spoiler: Design Notes

While Kukunochi’s design is simply a guy chilling on a flower, which is fine for a god of vegetation, his coloring goes way too hard for such a modest figure. It’s shocking how much it elevates the whole look while still looking like a spirit of the woods. I love the green-yellow of his skin contrasting with that crystalline flower.

So the synopsis for Sonic 3 has been leaked and also revealed certain details in the film. Be warned of spoilers.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Synopsis Reportedly Revealed Via Trade Publication [U] - The Sonic Stadium

Shares3FacebookTweetEmail The publication of a Hollywood trade magazine has apparently revealed plot details for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. The sequel isn’t due to release in theaters until December 2024, but it sounds like we already may have an idea of what might happen and who...

Spoiler

Metal Sonic eh?

Hmmm...

General Zod>Doomsday
King Ghidorah>Mechagodzilla
Dr. Robotik>Metal Sonic

Calling it now. Robotik while creating Metal Sonic transferred his essence into the robotic duplicate so he can truly finally match Sonic in battle.

That's why GUN couldn't find his body at the end of Sonic 2.

 

[Z25]

Unless that gets canned like LOTR

I’m not sure if that possible because afaik Warner owns the full rights to that movie and it’s characters.

 

[Pokelego999]

BIG NEWS EVERYONE

THEY REFRENCED HIM

Here’s another supposedly leaked plot for the Mario Movie. I only read the first page and the post credit to see if it matched the older leak. Which it doesn’t.

The post credit is hype but I really doubt this is real:

For the people who have played Xenoblade 3, how well does it hold up compared to the other games? I liked Xenoblade 1, but I've had a harder time with getting interested in the main cast of Xenoblade 2, while Xenoblade X was too tutorial-heavy for my tastes, and I'm wondering which one Xenoblade 3 is closer to, if that makes sense.

 

[TheMightyP]

Disney Channel platform fighter seems to be next in line.

But it won't happen.

Universal should do their on platform fighter as well.

My mains definitely would be Doc Brown or Marty McFly, Rexy and Dom Toretto.

Also the idea of Littlefoot vs. Dom Tortetto. Lol.

The P in MightyP stands for Piere. Name reveal.

Lmao that's not my name

Can't speak for XCX since Nintendo refuses to port it but I think XC3 is much closer to the first game in almost every area. Still anime cheese a plenty as far as the story is concerned, but it's easier to digest here thanks to the character designs being a lot more grounded than in XC2 and nobody really standing out as especially annoying (Noah is a much better protagonist than Rex, for one, and none of the Nopons approach Tora levels of cringe).

Gameplay is definitely tutorial heavy for the opening chapters though, especially combat. It opens up considerably after a certain point, and I'd even go as far to say that it becomes the best battle system in the series with how many options are available and being able to swap characters mid battle, but maaaan is it a slog starting off.

He didn't buy the absolute masterpiece of a console
The legendary piece of hardware that set the world on fire
Nintendo's pièce de résistance that left Sony and Microsoft in the dust
The gigachad that sold 9.5 Luigillion units and is STILL SELLING

The Wii U

And let's not forget how great its marketing was. It was so marketed, in fact, that they started pushing it 10 years early using the movie Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

But it won't happen.

I can't see Disney creating a crossover game with only stuff from the channel. They'd more likely do a general Disney crossover, with maybe a couple characters from the TV series.

I just finished watching Bullet Train - it was a lot of fun, and definitely lived up to the ads that I had seen.

Thanks - I think I'll get it, then. I'm glad to hear that it's closer to the first game. (The second game went a bit... Too far in terms of the character designs and anime tropes, for the lack of a better word? I like anime - I'm going to see the new Dragon Ball movie this weekend - but it felt like a harem anime at times, where a bunch of women (Pyra, Nia, likely Mythra, probably other party members or blades) were falling for a guy who looked 15 at best for no apparent reason, and Pyra's first lines to Rex being "put your hand on my chest" didn't help)

Guarantee Ezra's "apology" ain't gonna last given the **** he pulled.

Either get the mental help you need or don't say sorry at all if you continue with this BS.

'Looked' 15? Rex is canonically 15 in XB2
