Fortnite collab update:
First, a quick note, shoe cosmetics are delayed until a future date. Although the battle pass includes a pair of Nike shoes and they can be unlocked, they cannot be equipped at this time.
Now the fun thing:

Now the fun thing:
So with the shoes, I thought it would just be Fortnite original characters that can wear them. It’s not, as a ton of collab characters can wear them. Some of the ones that can include:
Ernie the Giant Chicken
El Chapulín Colorado
A ton of icon skins
The Lethal Company employee
All Avatar skins
Frieza, Cell, and a few other Dragon Ball skins
Omni-Man
Tomura Shigaraki, Himiko Toga, and other My Hero Academia skins
And more!

I know the feeling...anxiety can go do one.
Just remember to take a deep breath and picture what you love, or do things you like doing to keep your mind off the bad things you're feeling. That's what I like to do. Generally I catch up on the shows I love (hint hint, go watch Miraculous Ladybug and bask in the glory of the greatest foreign cartoon ever made hint hint)

Girl this thread is filled with anime fans, we already argue about this even though G Gundam is the best one

This is what I find tricky. I'm very much Not an Anime Person, as much as I'd like to be. There's anime I like such as Pokemon, Digimon, Godzilla Singular Point and the Ginga dog animes, and there's anime I'd love to check out like Yu-Gi-Oh.
Miraculous Ladybug specifically does take cues from anime despite being CG, and is even assisted in production by Toei Productions. It's essentially a magical girl anime but with a deeper look at the minds of teenage high schoolers, the pressures that come with being magical heroes, and the impact that our lives can have on each other. It's incredibly cheesy and hammy 90% of the time but it's a very intelligent and sharp cartoon most of the time as well. Also the villains are some of the best of all time, like this rogues gallery is 10/10 no notes.
The show is flawed, like REALLY flawed, don't get me wrong, but the highs are so high that I still find it one of the absolute best. It may be Magical Girl at first glance, but it has a lot more in common with Disney's all-time classic Gargoyles than you'd expect.

Bowser vs Eggman is gonna be close, but I feel like Bowser takes it in the end.
Eggman’s made some powerful robots and his armada could probably nuke the entire Koopa Troop, but the reason I’m leaning Bowser is simple: Fury Bowser.
It’s been shown that for as tough as Robotnik’s inventions can get, he can’t handle gods (or beings with god-like powers). Perfect Chaos, Solaris, Dark Gaia, The End, he couldn’t beat any of them. Fury Bowser’s destructive capabilities are immense, he’s nigh-invulnerable, and he’s pretty much Godzilla. I bet he could tank a missile barrage like it was nothing.
If it weren’t for Fury Bowser, Eggman would probably win. But unless he can get his hands on a Giga Cat Bell, I think Bowser wins in the end.
Now Super Sonic could probably kick Fury Bowser’s ass, but he’s not who we’re talking about here

Having watched Deadpool & Wolverine recently:I think with its release on Disney+ finally out there, It is time to share my thoughts on the funny Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman movie:
Gonna tagI'll be real with ya'll: I was kinda excited for this movie, but before it released I had like no expectations this movie would be great or even awesome, specially after the underrated jewel known as X-Men '97 dropped. I heard all the rumours about Channing Tatum as Gambit making an appearance alongside Jennifer Garner's Elektra and I got flashbacks of Nicolas Cage in The Flash movie.
So there I was with my mother, on the premiere in my island of the movie, alongside a huge number of Deadpool fans who probably know the character more than I do... And ima be real: the movie was a genuiely positive surprise. Here's how I felt about the themes of the movie.
The movie starts in a very straight-forward way: they literally tell the audience that they can't live up to the ending of Logan and that none of the Avengers as we know them from the MCU will show up on this flick through the incredible dance number and Happy Hogan respectively.
We then see Deadpool celebrating his birthday with his beloved people and getting taken away by the TVA. There, Paradox makes a very tempting deal to Deadpool: leave the "silly close to death universe" he comes from, and join the wonderful and magical world of The Avengers. Deadpool at first is excited... But then he remembers the people from his universe who at least tried to stan for him, and finds out they won't make It through as he could.
I feel the message here is kind of obvious: the movie is criticizing the thought-process of the fandom about how everything before the MCU meant nothing, and only stuff inside It is what matters (which trust me, I sadly know a lot of people who think like this).
We then see Deadpool trying to fix his timeline by hiring any sort of Wolverine from the multiverse, as he is meant to be the anchor being of his' (I'll come back to this later)... And he ends up finding a Wolverine who turns out to be the worst one and the biggest letdown in the multiverse.
They then get thrown into the place from Loki which has a name I forgot, meet Cassandra Nova through Chris Evans Human Torch (I'll get to him later as well), and one way after the other they eventually get into a fight in a car and get taken by someone.
And here, is when the movie started clicking for me. We see Jennifer Garner's Elektra, Wesley Snipes' Blade and Channing Tatum's Gambit as the rumours were saying... But It wasn't in the way I thought It would be.
Ok, now we talk about the cameos. Ignoring Cavillrine and the Deadpool Corps (the weakest parts of the movie imo due to how unnecessary to the overall story they felt), I genuiely believe this movie does something which movies such as The Flash were not able to even come close to doing: give the guest appearances a purpose.
Chris Evans as the Human Torch isn't just a funny gag: he is meant to get the audience into a reality check. We nowadays know the actor for Captain America, and even Deadpool thinks he is that character when he first sees him. But then he flames on and we realize he is also a remaining piece from the past who somehow is still in the audience's concience through a new role. And It all ties back to the whole critique of the "FOX/Classic Marvel media bad/MCU good" mentality. Notice how people start treating him like nothing in the movie after he is revealed to be the Human Torch. Even Deadpool when he dies describes him as a "budget eater". However, the resistance remembers him fondly and as a strong ally.
And yes, now we get to Elektra, Blade and Gambit. I feel these three cameos also each have a purpose: Elektra represents the movies which failed from the beginning from the classic Marvel era, Blade represents the semi successful franchises, and Tatum's Gambit what never even got a chance to shine (such as the Doctor Doom and Silver Surfer solo movies for example). They constantly talk about how their universes never got a chance at redemption, weren't given the option to fight for them and so. This I believe is also a critique of the whole "throwing the old toy to replace him with a new one" approach many fans and even Disney are guilty of. Nicolas Cage Superman and Michael Keaton Batman didn't ever come close to these feelings on The Flash, they literally were there because WB had enough money to afford them and get one or two claps at the cinema.
... And then, we get the scene with Logan and Laura. Now is when we talk about Wolverine.
I believe, the Wolverine we see in this movie isn't the one from Logan for a genuine purpose: It isn't meant to be a representation of the Logan people and critics loved, It is meant to be a commentary on Wolverine as a concept and media identity.
This Logan got drunk and wasn't there when his X-Men died... Almost similar to how the X-Men movies after Logan became strong flops when the character wasn't being used as much anymore. He wears the yellow suit to remind him of what he lost... He's wearing the remains of his franchise on his own body to remind him of what has been lost. And throught the movie, we see his arc alongside Deadpool of what this movie tries to offer at its core: embrace the past, both on the good and the bad, but also keep moving forward for a future.
The rest of the movie writes itself: Logan and Deadpool decide to finally join forces for a common goal, they get to give Elektra, Blade and Gambit the chance they never got in the spotlight, they make It back, defeat Cassandra Nova after an admittedly rushed but cool fight against the Deadpool Corps, all while Wolverine finally wears proudly his full costume with mask and all to embrace his X-Men roots... And the movie ends with Logan finally finding a new purpose beyond his franchise, and Deadpool being able to coexist both with his friends such as Colossus, Negasonic and Peter.
Long story short: I don't think Deadpool & Wolverine is the Flash and Space Jam 2 cameo fest people are claiming It is: I feel It is a commentary on the status of the MCU fandom and even the MCU itself. How people think too much about how everything has to be under the same umbrella and in perfect connectivity... But never stop even once to consider anything of what came before which lead the way for the MCU. And the credits deeply strengthen these points.
For every X-Men The Last Stand or Origins Wolverine there was a First Class or Days Of Future Past, for every Ghost Rider or Elektra there was a Blade 2... And even if some of these movies were not great, the fact they still made way to what we have now is what truly matters. And sure, the MCU did make some characters justice (Daredevil, Iron Man and Thor)... But It also has some weak spots which need to be acknowledged (Hulk/Bruce Banner being the biggest one imo).
All in all, despite some weak jokes at times and the Deadpool Corps feeling rushed out of nowhere, I give this movie a 7.8/10. It is flawed of course, but I genuiely feel It has a purpose beyond being a cameo fest unlike the Mario Movie or The Flash. And that's what I value a lot.Noipoi and
dezeray112 just so at least 2 persons give It a read, I feel they might find It worth It.
I think if I recall from the Loki series, it is called the void. Other than that poor Johnny Storm, didn't think he deserved killed off like that until what was revealed during the post-credits scene.
Other than that whilst I do share some of the aspects that you mentioned such as some of the jokes tend to be either a hit or miss in which I will also add that I wish they could had done more to flesh out Cassandra Nova a bit more. But I did enjoy the film overall with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's performances as their respective characters.
It is also great to see B-15 from the Loki series making an appearance too. But it does make me wonder what the likes of Casey and Ouroburos had been up to after the events of the second season? In addition seeing that X-23 was in the ending, it does make me wonder what are the fates of Blade, Elektra and Gambit and what will Deadpool and Wolverine will do next if there are further plans to use them within future MCU films?
In addition, I also recently finished watching Agatha All Along too and overall, I can see why the series is actually really good towards the end which does makes me wonder will Billy along with the help of Agatha's spirit be able to find Tommy?

Saw a queer run cafe was hosting a godzilla movie night last night, from 5pm - 10pm. I'd been waiting for a chance to meet other nerds, and I'd been wanting to watch some godzilla films for the first time, so I decided I had to go.
But I'd bee up since up since 11:00pm the night before so I decided to try taking a power nap.
I ended up sleeping through the whole thing.
Beating myself up a little. It's hard enough to make friends even when I do try to go to these things, but it's flat out impossible if I never go at all. Ugh.

I feel like it depends, is it just hand to hand Bowser vs Eggman? Then Bowser destroys him easy.Bowser vs Eggman is gonna be close, but I feel like Bowser takes it in the end.

Now Super Sonic could probably kick Fury Bowser’s ass, but he’s not who we’re talking about here
But if we include their machinery, powerups, and armies... then it gets pretty close. Bowser could eek one out but Metal Sonic and Infinite would definitely give them some trouble.

Okay but wouldn't Miraculous Ladybug make for the COOLEST theme park in the world?
Picture it
Hire me Thomas Astruc!
Picture it
- A Kwami carousel
- Coasters based on all sorts of different characters (A MULLO WILD MOUSE COASTER.)
- A haunted house based on the Agreste mansion
- A Chloe-themed ride with a bee motif AND intense usage of the word 'Ridiculous'
- A coaster that weaves through a replica of the Eiffel Tower
- A turtle-themed boat ride based on Wayzz and his wielders
- Stage shows by performers masquerading as Luka, Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale (plus their Akumatized selves)
- A spinning thrill ride based on Stormy Weather
- Meetable characters based on the characters
- A SHOP THAT SELLS MACARONS. AND A SHOP THAT SELLS BURGERS WITH CAMEMBERT CHEESE.

Never before have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with.
But Miraculous "fans" (giant airquotes) are just one part of the demographic. Families and thrill-seekers may find a lot to enjoy in a park where they get to ride dragon-headed dodgems.
I am not gonna start discourse on why I actually like where Miraculous is going today, I JUST came back from a break.

I think Fury Bowser would just be impervious to it. The only thing that can hurt him is like, ancient sacred powers of light (in the form of a cat).
So if Bowser can manage to avoid the Metal Virus until he goes Fury mode, he’s good.

Well ackshulllay, Bowser can somehow fly according to 3D Land, and also he can warp the entire space time continuim with the power of lazy writing, and also I'm a bigger Mario fan than I am Sonic fan so he wins
Edit: no seriously, how and when the hell could he do this

You do have an argument there since going super cured Sonic (I think) but honestly I think all of Eggman’s toys will overwhelm Bowser and his kids.

But legit, a Bowser-Eggman team-up would be so fun to see and it sucks we'll never see it outside the Olympics.
Oh wait, they killed that series for NFTs so we'll NEVER see it again.
unless Eggman joins Smash and we get Subspace 2...

The Olympics killing Mario and Sonic is a good thing, not because of anything about the harmless party games I always forget about, but because iirc the Sonic Generations level designer kept getting stuck in the Mario ajd Sonic mines instead of cooking **** like Sonadow Gens and goddamn that was so good
