I feel like with Spider-Man, or ANY protagonist really(especially an action/adventure protag), you gotta balance The Struggle with Triumph. If the hero has no struggles or flaws, they'd be boring and annoying. But too much misery is also boring and annoying as well.

I do feel like MCU Spider-Man sanded down a lot of his interesting aspects. But like half of the recent comic runs are trying to hard to piss off fans intentionally. Any of Peter's side books tend to not suffer from this issue much. I dunno.

Marvel Editorial doesn't like the idea of Peter Parker being happy, so they introduced an impossibly perfect guy named Paul to be Mary Janes Romäence Partnær (Including raising 2 kids), while Peter was doing some multiverse thing, and it isn't very well written and became a meme.

and also he looks different in every single panel



EDIT: This also comes after years of dealing with one of the single most hated Spider-man stories of all time with One More Day, where Peter Parker sold his marriage to Mephisto to revive Aunt May. and they refuse to undo it for whatever reason.
Tbh the funniest thing about Paul is learning his kill count is apparantly higher than Carnage when Zeb Wells wrote him

Is it a hot take to say that Persona 5's soundtrack is overhyped and that 4's is overall much better?

Like I have a lot of things I like about 4 more than 5 but the soundtrack is specifically a point that people really praise about 5 and I do think it has some great tracks but 4 has a lot more of them and also they're better

I can only speak in the sense that, P5's music is memed on for a reason. That a lot of people who only listen to game OSTs don't appreciate the long and storied history of music as a whole, especially jazz music. Hell, most people in the mainstream have that issue with Jazz in particular. Hence the "Persona 5 invented Jazz" jokes people make.

And it's only with certain Hip-Hop artists where Jazz samples are heavily used/referenced can you see more mainstream respect for Jazz. But even that is often understated. Though I do have respect for the game composers that enjoy and implement Jazz music into their work.

I like both but after a while, most of P5 ost either boils down to like, two different type of tracks for me.

For all the flack P4 gets for "ew, jpop", I think the use of the same leitmotif is a lot stronger in it and there's a wider range of memorable tracks for me.

What the hell are Amy and Rouge going to do against Shadow? They’re about as useful as the humans. :nifty:
Yeah but they're fun characters who were pretty important to the plot of Adventure 2.

And I know this isn't a straight up recreation of Adventure 2, but I still feel like there was a way to put them in the movie. Not to mention it's a bit of a sausage fest currently.

It's okay. We all know Amy will be in the post credits, after Robotnik's sacrifice activates Metal Sonic, leading into Sonic 4 being an adaptation of CD.

In terms of the spoiler part, once again, I was thinking the same thing!

Good partner showcase, holy **** Trails In The Sky Remake and a New Capcom Fighting Collection with god damn Power Stone and CvS. The new Rune Factory is looking great as well

Indie World was also pretty good, Every day "Indie Game" becomes an increasingly arbitrary term.

Shoulda put the word "Cozy" on my bingo card

Powerwash Simulator Shrek dlc

Morsels looked cool! It’s probably the game I’m most interested in.

The Patrick Star game and MySims were nice too! Pizza Tower, Goat Simulator, and Tetris were cool as well. Wobbly Life looked kinda fun but idk. Not as interested in the others, though Cuisineer looks cute and Shovel Knight is cool (I’ve never played Shovel Knight tbh).

The FNAF stuff was interesting too, but may not get it.

Saw the trailer. Freakin excited!

I honestly thought though we were gonna have Sonic telling Shadow he sounded like Keanu Reeves as well as some John Wick references.

Though I'm disappointed Tom and Maddie doesn't have a newborn daughter name Maria and that Robotik didn't come back as Metal Sonic... Perfect oppotunity to have been the next "Save Martha" moment. Shadow being reminded what he's doing isn't what Maria would have wanted.

At this point I'm almost impressed at how committed you are to this ****ty meme
