Well they did say there's multiple post credit scenes so I won't be surprised if Rouge pops up and finds Shadow in a capsule or something. If I'm right it's gonna be more like Sonic Heroes than Sonic CD.

I love SA1 and I think Chaos would be awesome but I don't really see it happening, at least not in the next film

I only watched the first one and didn't like it that much, but even I'm dying to see what Chaos would look like in movie quality CG.

Oh, and Gamma too.
A new generation of kids needs to experience the pain.

Post credits scene of Sonic 3 leaked, I wonder how people will feel about it cause it seems cool

I saw it an, if its real

Spoiler: Sonic spoiler maybe

i would of much rather it have been Silver. Amy is cool and all...but I want Silver because I like him more

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Is there a decent lineup of sonic figures that contains most of the cast?

I believe Jakk Toys has a large Sonic line which includes the likes of Neo Metal, Mephiles and Sonic infected by the Metal Virus, the one I have of Neo Metal is definitely lower quality than most of my figures but those either have no articulation or are brands that cater to adult collecters like Figma or SH Figuarts which are also more expensive. Basically they're neat

So Marvel Rivals has been my recent obsession.

Storm isn't that good, but she's super fun and I make her work.

wanna play? What system are you on?

My brother, his wife, and I are going to watch Sonic 2 tonight to prepare for you-know-what.

We probably don't have enough time for Knuckles before we see the movie but I don't think that will be a huge problem.

You dont need to see the tv show. Just the movies.

Here is the first poster for James Gunn's Superman: Legacy in which the first trailer will be shown this Thursday.

It looks good but the “Superman problem” all Superman movies have will likely haunt this film and thus keep it from earning big loot.

What is “the Superman problem”?

Maybe I’m using the wrong term for it, but essentially, it’s that Superman is a hero that is so god-like (unrealistically powerful, even when talking about superheroes) within his world that he’s not very relatable to the viewer and requires only the strongest of enemies in order to challenge him. It’s simply not appealing to the majority of people according to box office results.

I watched The Animated Series last year and that just wasn't true for that show, the way he had to tackle the problems were often quite interesting, like in The Late Mr Kent, a fantastic episode that has Clark get 'killed' in front of witnesses and Superman trying to figure out how to navigate that. The issue with the last like 40 years of Superman movies is that they simply haven't been good

EDIT: I remember having this argument with someone and I told him to come over to my place and watch some Superman TAS, he ended up doing that and was pleasantly surprised with The Late Mr Kent and Metallo's debut episode

Beat the Paper Mario The Thousand-year Door game For the Nintendo Switch family of consoles

It's been about a decade since I last played TTYD, don't even remember if I beat it. So a lot of this was fresh or reminders, and this game is in fact, ****ing fantastic. The combat is fun (when you aren't me and you don't forget to press buttons) and the characters especially are really fun and memorable. I got a bit emotional at the credits even, not only because of the end of a good game, but even the meta aspects, with the fact that we haven't seen these characters since the original.

I have better memories with Super Paper Mario, but I might like TTYD better, it's neck and neck for me.

can my game of the year be a game from 2004?

another problem is that the animated movies have been mostly great…but also extremely underrated due to the lack of promotion

Animated is different. I’m talking live action.

 

[Z25]

Word on the street is that Sony will announce they are selling Spider-Man back to Marvel by the end of the day. Which would be a huge change for the characters future.

Disney Mirrorverse shut down today.

May Kermit the Bard rest and play his Banjo in another reality.

The designs in this were great. I would love to see them get use in a future game somehow.

I disagree, what the animated series did to drive stakes for a lot of Superman stories can very much work in live action, there's also countless stories like Superman Smashes the Klan where he can't just punch his way to victory too. Again, the issue with the past few decades of Superman movies is that they just weren't good like Man of Steel having Clark's dad say "No, do not save me, you need to become Jesus because being for truth, justice and the American way is for *******, now kill the bad guy at the end"

Man I'd love a line of Sonic Amiibo like how Mario has amiibo for like... every major character and some enemies.

Ugh. I hate this mindset. I feel like it's giving to much weight to the plight of small minded people who can only relate to a conflict by how strong the hero needs to be to overcome it. Good storytelling is about more than that, and people need to just kill this mentality asap.

I'm on PC but I'm pretty sure it's cross platform.

Well, I don't even have an SD card that I'm not using in my Switch RN so I'll have to get one.


I either brick the system or enjoy games I was too poor at the time to afford.

Anything can happen and public opinion can change. Look what James Gunn did with the GotG. He took a tree, racoon, skater bro human, and a -33 IQ meat head and made them lovable. So yeah, the next Superman could actually do well. I’m just not banking on it since we have had 6 actors play Superman in 10 solo films (even more if you count team up films like JL, BvS….etc). Most simply don’t make much (if any) money. At a certain point, the Superman IP is cursed or just the people don’t like him.

I know what you mean. Shame, because Superman was created by children/descendants of Jewish immigrants, right? As in those who immigrated to America? It has to do with Superman being extraterrestrial (I am not using the A word), and back then, it was something people could relate to.

Well, people still can relate to that, but DC Comics spent too much time on the powerbuilding, if you ask me. It did end up making him much less relatable, did it not?

Just got thrown for a loop because I was expecting a comic with a title like that to have come out in the 60s, but I just looked it up and it came out in 2019.
