I haven't been following the MCU in a long time and I haven't been invested enough to watch most of the films in the continuity.

The only MCU movies I've regularly tuned in to watch are the Guardians of the Galaxy films.

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.
Fair but I took Shadow as mixed cause of his two dads' skin tones. Shadow's mixed and Sonic's a lightskin, that's what black Sonic fans have taught me years ago

They taught you well then.

Yeah idk why blacks nerds do things like assign race to fictional characters but that's what we do and nothing can stop us from that.

Some of it is wanting representation, subconscious or otherwise.

And some of it is just getting a vibe. I dunno man Piccolo just feels black.

It looks like Nintendo is giving some of the good news away. Splatoon 3 side order is natural since it is a week away on Thursday.

I wonder what other content will be present instead? Time to start building a list.

With the splatoon overview dropping today, that backs up the partner showcase rumor. There would be no reason not to show that in a direct.

The only possible first party stuff they could show now is more Peach Showtime (which could just get an overview trailer later) TTYD (which stills needs a release date but they could do that at anytime) and Dark Moon (who cares).

Yeah, this is just gonna be a Partner Showcase.

Because they're saving the REAL announcements for the Switch 2 reveal, baybee :101:

Paper Luigi: War in The Waffle Kingdom will release as a bonus mode for TYD remake players, playing on Switch 2 day one. All others must wait.

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

I do find it rather baffling to how Sony Entertainment Pictures allowed Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless to even get them to write and pen the story for Madame Web looking at their track record.

Funnily enough, they were also involved with the writing for Lionsgate's 2017 Power Rangers film too.

Even if Microsoft is going to push their Xbox games onto other consoles, I still think Rare Replay is very unlikely.

Its 9 Xbox 360 games run on emulation instead of native hardware unlike the other games in the collection. It will take extra work to deal with this.

At the very least I can see the N64 games making their way to NSO.
We already have 2 of them on there (3 since Goldeneye has Rare Replay branding) so adding the other 5 should be easy.
Three of them (Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, and Conker) may need a +18 version of the N64 app though.

Speaking of Sonic, it's a real shame they just stop using Blaze.

Like she is the most fun character to play as in every Sonic game she was playable in and they just... stopped using her.

They should remake Sonic Rush.
I assume they found it hard to work around the whole inter-dimensional shenanigans involved with her character.

Which is why we need a new game involving inter-dimensional shenanigans.

That reminds me, I do wonder if they plan on redubbing lines for Sonic X Shadow Generations since we had a few recastings/new voice directions since the original game

They always find a way for Silver to come back from the future though.
I’m guessing they find time travel more easy to work with, which…honestly it shouldn’t be.

I mean I guess everything is fine in Silver's future considering Solaris was destroyed thus all the events of his future didn't happen.

Or... actually would that even allow Silver to exist? Wouldn't that create a paradox in some way given that Silver's future was destroyed and he went back to fix it, therefore his future wasn't destroyed and...

Split Timeline theory I hate linear time travel

I hate that Star Trek: Discovery is still considered cannon (my parents are watching it now). Like… the Chris pine movies were always an alternate timeline, but Discovery is the only remnant of “Edgy Trek” that still matters.

Like yeah, that’s what the Star Trek timeline needed. An apocalypse! That way we can have all the cool dystopian proper nouns like “couriers” and “the burn”. Smh.
