I almost forgot that we haven't heard anything from Kingdom Hearts: Missing-Link for 4 months now.

Is it ever going to release?

That's not a very long time to not hear from a game. When was it scheduled to be released?

Everyone says folks are getting tired of superheroes.

Invincible says otherwise. Same for post-Endgame MCU films like Guardians 3. Can't also forget The Batman.

There's still life in it because Invincible notably does something different with its formula.

Who says that?

People still love superheroes, they just don't follow MCU movies as religiously as they used to.
I can also say that movies after Stan Lee's passing and Disney now taking the reigns of MCU were more of a mixed bag. Some are great and some are........not based on my taste.

Stan Lee had no creative control of any of those and Disney's owned the MCU for like 15 years, what are you talking about?

To me, the MCU has passed its golden age after Endgame was released. Post Endgame movies and shows are good. Just that Stan Lee was the person that built Marvel.

Wanting to stop at Endgame is perfectly fine but Stan Lee really does not deserve all the credit he gets cause he did not have that large an impact. It's like saying Reggie Fils-aime is directly responsible for saving the video game industry

That's fine. I'm still open for the next generation of the MCU movies and shows.

Disney had the reins of the MCU since the first Avengers movie. The MCU's been a bit more hit or miss as of late (especially if you take streaming shows into account; Secret Invasion was pretty bad), but there are still some great movies in the post-Endgame line-up (Wakanda Forever, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Deadpool and Wolverine, Shang-Chi, Spider-Man: No Way Home... I felt The Marvels got too much hate, or maybe it wasn't promoted enough due to the strikes, but I enjoyed it)

Got to drawing Vegeta again. I wanted to more closely study the original manga. I'm happy with the results, but I can see where I need to improve a bit currently.



Shoutouts to Yanma and Yanmega. Literal DRAGONflies and they made them Bug Flying.

Idk how they ****ed that one up.
It's only a two-stage right? There's always the last form being Dragon/Bug.

Eh, I think that one was doomed from the start, I don’t think any promotion would’ve saved it regardless of the strikes. I’ll at least give credit for the performances, the actresses did a solid enough job given the material.

While I do think superhero fatigue was a bit of a thing that was cutting into the box office for a while (GotG3, ATSV and D&W being the exceptions), I think the problem is more Marvel/MCU fatigue and it’s mostly a Hollywood problem. Superhero comics, anime and manga are still extremely popular and high selling.

Yep exactly. It's more MCU fatigue than anything even with its exceptions (Guardians 3 and Deadpool & Wolverine, Far From Home was harmless being a nice little epilogue to Endgame if you minus the post-credits).

Also forgot the Spider-Verse films.

Zoro just being there makes this perfect.
he a silly little guy
Yeah, this was a response to the Cartoon Network characters being the Akatsuki from Naruto.

Who's gonna be the Ginyu Force?
Imma go with either the Netflix or Amazon animated characters…or the Ginyu Force sues
Man, Organization XIII looks really different than they used to.
They made themselves chads
Who’s the green haired guy? Everyone else is a Nicktoon.

I feel like if I could change the TvC roster just slightly, I'd mostly change how the Mega Man characters are repped. Do Classic Megs instead of Roll and do Tron or Teisel to represent Legends. It just feels cleaner.

One change I would make on the Tatsunoko side is including Speed Racer. IDK which Tatsunoko character I would swap for him (maybe Joe) but since he's like... the only Tatsunoko character general American audiences are familiar with, i think he should probably be here.

What did you think ATSV stood for?

Ok. People who have played Darkstalkers. Is Lilith more of an Evil Ryu type deal or a Ken type deal?
Sort of a mix of both in my opinion.

I can also say that movies after Stan Lee's passing and Disney now taking the reigns of MCU were more of a mixed bag. Some are great and some are........not based on my taste.
Whilst it is hard to say how well their upcoming projects will fare, I'm just hoping that now Marvel Studios will eventually find their feet and give them enough time to work on their quality since they had regained creative control back (something previous Disney CEO Bob Chapek took away.)

I genuinely have no idea what team I want to join for the Splatfest.

I think all 3 options are important and I have no real preference and If I choose to vote based on Idol group that doesn't really help either because I really like all 3 groups.

the only other option I got is voting based on what it could do to Splatoon 4, but the options are so open ended that I have no clue what each option could do to Splatoon 4.
I picked Team Past because dinosaurs and Marie.

Also, Y’know, my past was very troubled but I’m using those experiences to shape my actions in the future. I wouldn’t be who I am without that stuff, no matter how rough it was.
