You know. Now that we’re getting new stuff in the 87 tmnt continuity again thanks to the IDW series, it would be neat to see some characters who are considered franchise mainstays now but never made it into that show, or were created after that show, be adapted into that continuity. Characters like Fugitoid, Renet, Savanti Romero, Karai, Hun & the Purple Dragons, Bishop, the Utroms, etc.

Casey Jones

View attachment 384697

there’s also the mother Casey/Cassandra Jones

at this rate, Casey is gonna be every single type of human in history

I mean… they both look like they would have just been name drops to make fans brains go brrr considering how little those designs invoke their characters. Kind of glad they got scrapped so they can do something that’s more like the actual characters in the future.

And like… I’m speaking as a plus sized girl, but I don’t get why they made April, and almost made Casey, so… stocky… like I kept wanting to just take her model and stretch it’s y-axis cause she looked so.. distorted. Like were they trying to make her plus sized? Was she just wearing a lot of lairs? Is this just another instance of them using weird/distorted shapes to put the characters together (like they did with Splinter, Rocksteady, Wingnut, Genghis Frog, and Ray Fillet)? What’s going on? Who is their character designer. People complained about Rise having bad/ugly character designs and I disagreed. I actually had no idea what they were talking about there. But here… everything just looks so poorly designed.

I assume the designs are to make each main character as unique to one another as possible

Decided to play that Inspector Gadget game that came out last year.

It was too short and the main gameplay was basically a rip off of Mario Party, to the point where I recognized basically all the minigames.

A shame, since the open world aspect was pretty neat but super under utilized.

This is how I learned an Inspector Gadget game came out

Finally finished reading my first Doujinshi manga. 37 pages and a whole bunch of N1 & N2 Kanji that were well beyond my skill level. Even though it was work, it was surprisingly relaxing, so I hope I can make a habit of it and using my Japanese skills more often. Now time to typeset and localize the dialogue as best I can.

It's only Tuesday now but I really can't wait for this week to be done already. Aside from Direct rumors, I have 2 Pokemon Art Commissions scheduled for completion this week, the Auction House Mandarake is set to reveal all of the Anime/Tokusatsu Merchandise that they will have up for sale at the end of the month, the Sora Amiibo comes out on Friday, and thanks to President's Day, I have a 3-Day Weekend.

 

[Aurane]

I don't want to be that guy but uhh... Pokemon x Ark would be kinda cool. Dunno why.

 

[Dukefire]

Nintendo dropped the overview trailer of Splatoon 3 side order.
Edit: pretty much like mystery dungeon.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I woke up to this

Retro Studios' third Donkey Kong game will look phenomenal. Here's a very early cover art (possibly a placeholder).

And suddenly I was falling into a whirling void of naught but nostalgia

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Madame Web reviews are low as expected…but everyone is also thirsty for Sydney Sweeney as expected so I guess it all balances out

Black History FACT:

Did you know Knuckles was supposed to have a Jamacian accent? In pre-Adventure material, Knuckles spoke with a Jamacian accent

Instead he was voiced by a white dude. Robbed.

But that's not all, Knuckles has a lot of insiration from Black Culture, and that's beyind the raps. There's his obvious dreadlocks, his shoes are based on the Rastafarian flag.

Adventure 1, he was more on the indigenous side, with his roots being based on the old indigenous tribes of the Americas... but that game also introduced his iconic raps, a common staple for modern black culture. Adventure 2 just went full trottle with his raps.

And then the later games just forgot all that so thanks SEGA.

And that's a FACT. A Black History FACT.

Don't let dumbasses on Twitter tell you otherwise, Knuckles is a (censored 5 letter word on Smashboards).

That's funny, I was just listening to the Sonic Adventure 2 version of Unknown from ME, that **** is fire.

Also Sonic is Jewish

Hold up let me cook.

BLACK HISTORY FACT PART 2:
Sonic has a bunch of ties to Black culture, and I mean a lot.

Let's start off his his iconic red Shoes. They were based off these shoes

Which were worn by this guy in this song

Micheal Jackson, who was a fan of Sonic, came back to work on the Sonic 3 soundtrack, which is a big part why it's in legal hell.

Sonic's first ever Voice Actor was Jaleel White, a black man, famous for playing Steve Urkel in Family Matters. His siblings in Underground was voiced by the same guy.

Sonic's biggest musical motif is rock. Rock's origins can be traced back as an offshot of Blues and R&B, staples of Black Culture in the early 1900s. Of course there's also Knuckles's raps, which is more obvious in terms of origins, and Rouge's jazz also has roots in black culture.

And speaking of music, one iconic song of Sonic is Wrapped in Black

The vocals in this song is samples from Malcom X

(Sample is at 2:08)

Of course there's other, more obvious things too, Sonic and friends being being "freedom fighters" fighting against injustice and oppression, Adventure 2's very anti military and anti-police tone (which sadly didn't last past that game). Sonic loves breakdancing, bringing it back to the Hip Hop trend the series has, a good chunk of Sonic CDs Japanese soundtrack is inspired by R&B and Hip Hop of the 90s (aka why it slaps hard), and there's Shadow.

Lastly, Knuckles is voiced by Idris Elba. How awesome is that.

 

[CannonStreak]

Say, have Directs been announced on Wednesdays? I ask because it does not look like one will be announced today.

 

[Z25]

Pokémon go had its Pokemon day event announced.

Guess which Pokemon are spawning with lure modules in high numbers?

Unown

Make of that what you will, but…

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Snake hypothetical: TMNT Mutagen + Pokemon. Double awesome? Horrifying monstrosities? Both? What do you think?

Glad to know Knuckles always hated ghosts. Can we get a Knuckles’ Mansion now?

He already fought a King Boo in Adventure 2

There's no way 49er players thought a touchdown meant you win the game

 

[SnakeFighter64]

There's no way 49er players thought a touchdown meant you win the game

... are you in the right boards ma'am?

 

[TheMightyP]

Yeah the coach was pretty dumb to not tell his players the new rules, just sloppy. But they were getting dogwalked by Mahomes anyways so .

Also sports talk? On my Smashboards? Must be opposite day. Go Bears (I hate myself).

 

[TMNTSSB4]

sad sight to see

 

[Jotadé]

This goes hard.

Gonna show It to my crush since she is from Ghana and may find It cool to see Walt Disney Animation doing stuff based on african culture.

 

[CannonStreak]

I did not get an answer, so I hope it does not hurt to ask again; can Nintendo Directs be announced on Wednesdays?

 

[SnakeFighter64]

sad sight to see

I used to call WB games “one of the good ones”. Back when I played their games in the 360/early Xbox one days. Now I can’t. And I hate that.

 

[Noipoi]

I did not get an answer, so I hope it does not hurt to ask again; can Nintendo Directs be announced on Wednesdays?

If the direct is on Thursday

 

[CannonStreak]

If the direct is on Thursday

Yes, but has it happened before?

 

[Will]

And speaking of music, one iconic song of Sonic is Wrapped in Black

Yeah no wonder I couldn’t appreciate kino like this behind my DS speakers compressing the sound and being overridden by every time Sonic makes his loud ass WOOOOMP jump.

 

[StormC]

I hate San Francisco so anyone that beats them in NFL is cool by me

 

[Noipoi]

Yes, but has it happened before?

Do you not remember Wednesday, September 13th 2023?

 

[CannonStreak]

Do you not remember Wednesday, September 13th 2023?

I forgot that for some reason, honestly.

Anyway, that will be all. Thanks.

Although this is said to be MCU, if I recall correctly, this has been better than any other MCU related in recent years given the views that has.

You forgot the part where a white woman (Amy) keeps mixing up Sonic with other hedgehogs. She's gotten better but still, hiw embarassing

 

[TheMightyP]

She's mixed, she's just colorblind. Forgive her.

Also yeah, enjoy those Sonic facts. Truth is I didn't have a fact prepped for this week until I saw a Twitter Post saying that nobody said Sonic characters (and TMNT) were "black coded" until Twitter... and that just didn't sit right with me. Oh yeah, and they got iver 10k likes and people were gerting racist, and that REALLY didn't sit right with me.

So yeah, a double BHM post. You're welcome.

 

[Z25]

Although this is said to be MCU, if I recall correctly, this has been better than any other MCU related in recent years given the views that has.

Marvel is still had some good ones, from Spiderman, Shang chi, black panther 2, multiverse of madness, and even the marvels was solid, it just was a little short of perfect because they fumbled a few arcs. But this movie definitely seems like it could be up there with the greats.

I know, I was not talking about most of those, to be fair. I meant some of the less impressive ones.
