As someone who's played all of the Pikmin games very recently I don't find any of them particularly difficult. There were aspects of them that were hard and Pikmin 2 had a lot of bull**** but as a whole I think they're relatively run of the mill in terms of difficulty. 3 and 4 are significantly easier and even they have their moments.

I think 2 has the hardest bosses in the series as a whole since they have a lot of "Kill a LOT of Pikmin at once" mechanics.


Empress Bulblax with the Bulborb Larvae that eat like a Pikmin a second.

Segmented Crawbster and the RNG boulder spawns.

Man At Legs isn't.... too bad if you know how to fight it, but the one where you have to fight it with Blue Pikmin? That one's evil.

And the Waterwraith... honestly, once you FIGHT it, it's not an issue, the issue is the dungeon itself.

Aside from the Crawbster all of these return in Pikmin 4 relatively unchanged. Empress Bulbax specifically has a variation that might be the worst boss fight in the series in my opinion.

Also the Waterwraith is a joke if you know he's coming, I didn't lose a single Pikmin to him in my Pikmin 2 playthrough

I played the first mission of Metroid Prime: Federation Force and it already doesn't really feel like a Metroid game at all.

I'm going to hold off from playing anymore until I do playthroughs of Prime 2 & 3.

Hearing the new Deadpool is pretty good.
If what I'm hearing is true about Deadpool and Vanessa being split up, I really hope its not one of those cases where the couple are on bad terms and more still respectful and getting along as good friends. I'm so tired of that trope where things turn bitter between them.

Ended up looking on wikipedia to see if there was a post-credits and the only spoiler I got was them reconcile which makes me worried since the definition is restore "friendly" relations between.
