Btw this is slightly late but Octopath Traveler 2, one of the greatest games of all time, is on sale for Steam, dunno about other platforms but that game is just incredibly good, might be in my top 3, so do give it a shot if you're curious, easily the best RPG of this generation

It is interesting that we seperate the Lion Kings as the animated one and the live action one when they're both animated. It would be more correct to call them the 2D Hand Drawn and the CGI one respectively, but that doesn't roll off the tounge.

The play would be the live action one if anything.

Look I love Sonic and can’t stand the live action Lion King, but let’s not kid ourselves. Mufasa’s making bank, and it’ll make more than Sonic 3.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Sonic 3 will do very well for itself. But I’m seeing a lot of fans talk about how it’s gonna blow Mufasa outta the water and I’m sorry but that’s just not happening.

The Lion King remake made a billion dollars, you guys. A billion.

Well. Between the holidays and all the stress eating due to the election, I've definitely fallen behind on my weight loss goals.

Time to get back on it I suppose.

Sonic fans on their way to get blown the **** out by some soulless slop for the bazillionth time (they still haven't learned to be humble and know their place)

…did MHA just make a true ending as a dlc via a volume that dropped months after the ending we originally got?

Imagine this:
What if Electronic Arts announced their exclusivity deal with Simpsons finalized, and now other studios can make games with the yellow family. And on the same day, Animation Throwdown (a Fox-themed card game for mobile devices and PC) announces it's end of service.

I just want that fabled Simpsons-centric spin off of that card game by the same developers.

I'll be watching Mufasa anyway since I'm at least curious about their take on Mufasa and Scar's/Taka's backstories.

That, and because Kiara's one of the characters in the film. She's one of my favorite characters in the series and it makes make glad that she's become a mainstay of the franchise outside of the sequel she debuted in, as aside from the other characters who debuted in the same film, and technically Sparky, Reuben and Hamsterviel (I think) from the prequel movie to Lilo and Stitch: The Series, very few Disney direct-to-video sequel characters ever appear in the franchise again after their movies of origin.

Is it partly because most of these direct-to-video sequels are bad or significantly flawed? Yes. But the Lion King II is one of the legitimately good ones, so I guess that helps. :4larry:

Gonna go see the Wicked movie. Never consumed anything related to this musical in my life. Wish me luck.

If I don't see this integrated into young Scar's backstory, then I'll be upset. /lh

Lion King was spared by the sequel curse. Even 1 1/2 is based.

Eh, I can see where they were going with that version of Scar's backstory, but I felt the execution of it was kinda weak. We get a little context on Scar's early ambitions, then BAM, snake bite nets him a scar over his eye.

I'm still intrigued by the show's staff mentioning that the "Strange Lion" might be related or connected to Zira somehow, though.

Lion King was spared by the sequel curse. Even 1 1/2 is based.
This. The humor and character writing in 1 1/2 is top natch.

Heck, even the animation is shockingly good for a direct-to-video sequel, even compared to II which also had high quality animation overall. I guess Disney realized they couldn't afford to majorly screw up any sequels for one of their most successful movies ever at the time.

The Magic Conchshell: "Maybe someday."

Depends on if they ever get any ideas for a fourth movie several decades later. I'd imagine it'd most likely be about Kiara and Kovu's potential children.

Unironically one of the best Disney villain songs ever.

Oh boy

The implications in regards to Gangle in the next episode are interesting.



Also the ****ing Gloink Queen is back lol.
My guess is that Gangle either used to work at a fast food restaurant, as a manager somewhere, or that her comedy mask can make her much more controlling than she is otherwise.

Or just all of the above. :4larry:

Did they change the ending for the volume release? I know that some series improve the art for the volume release if the magazine version wound up being rougher than expected (Hunter x Hunter comes to mind), though I can't think of too many cases where major plot points changed.
