China didn’t air a single Phase 4 project (tho the shows have a sensible pass since China doesn’t like streaming services I guess)

I was today years old when I learned Black Panther 2 has LGBT characters

Cool how the anime put Serena and May together in the same shot watching Ash fight in the finals

I remember watching an interview with Kevin Conroy where he was making food at a restaurant charity event (if I remember correctly) and two young men came in and said to the organizer " hey we heard you got batman back there that true" and without missing a beat Kevin yelled from the back room"I AM THE NIGHT I AM BATMAN"
I highly recommend the interview if you can find it I sadly can't remember where it was
Seemed like an awesome, fun, generous guy.
screw you death

I found the same story with more detail:

RIP to Kevin Conroy. He was the first Batman I ever knew and was the best as far as I was concerned.

Not only was he a consummate professional, he was also a greater person. RIP Legend. pic.twitter.com/kuWHP0QN1t

it’s literally nothing but a forehead kiss, so it makes sense that it wasn’t a big deal. Tho it is funny how most of the Phase 4 bans have been due to petty reasons.

Miyamoto discusses the challenges of turning Mario's universe into a movie

7 years of work

gonintendo.com

Miyamoto: "1993? Why would you bring that up?"

 

[Knight Dude]

Got Power Slash 2, Water, and Thunder upgrades for Okami, beat Lecku and Necku, and got most of the upgrades I would actually want, beat one of the demon caves as well. I'll try to get Power Slash 3 and Bomb 3, but I'm mostly worried about the former. I got like 2/3rds of the Stray beads, but I'm not really concerned about those since they just turn on god mode when you get all of them. Still gotta upgrade my health a little more, but there's a bit more I want to do before getting to the Ark of Yamato.

For POKEMON SPOILERS

Spoiler

2nd WARNING for Pokemon Spoilers

Spoiler: GEN 9 TEAM

I've got like 5 of my 6 Pokemon more or less decided I want to go with a team where I haven't used too many of the Pokemon before. So I was thinking

Fuecoco/Skeledirge Fire/Ghost, Two Fire Moves(Flame Charge and his Signature, Torch Song), Shadow Ball and Earth Power seems like a good set for him.
Pawmi It's got 3 stages and learns Thunder Punch. So I'm down to use it!
Rookidee I didn't play Sword and Shield, and a Flying/Steel type sounds cool. Looks like he gets good moves too.
That Grass 3 stager from Sun and Moon. Can't remember its name, but it learns Trop Kick.
Ceruledge. He looks like a Net Navi, I'm probably naming him Rockman.

I know having two Fire/Ghost types is redundant, but both are also dope, might switch out Ceruledge for another one if I'm feeling like I need the extra versatility. Cause as of right now, that team would be Fire, Ghost, Fighting, Electric, Steel, Flying, Grass, Which covers a lot.

I saw the leaked dex has Samurott and Greninja's lines, but I don't know if they'll be post game, IF NOT, I'll take one of those as my Water Type. Cause I'm not sure what other decent water types I'd want. There's also the Ice/Dragon Line, but I'd probably switch between it and Ceruledge.

So yeah, anyone else got ideas or nah?

Kevin Conroy's importance to Batman has been said by everyone, there's nothing else I could add beyond his autobiography short comic made for Pride month about his experience as a closeted gay man from the 60's helping him nail Batman. Words cannot describe how much of a loss this is

 

[Wario Bros.]

Jeez Louise, the CGI in this is phenomenal!

also, play PMEX Remix

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Im down to play with any other team waters

 

[Z25]

I completely forgot about the splat fest. I was out seeing Wakanda forever but I’ll have to play some matches in a bit maybe.

Anyway Black Panther was great! It’s a beautiful homage to Chadwick and Namor made for a great antagonist. Every actor bought their A game, make this stand out as the best phase 4 films hands down, and one of the best marvel films imo.

I only have one critique and its that the Val cameo goes basically nowhere and with no obvious setup for anything. It’s probably thunderbolts plot teasing, but there’s no explanation.

 

[Shroob]

Spoiler: Scar/Vio leak

Wow, they actually nerfed Bulky Waters HARD.


Scald is now a SIGNATURE MOVE of Volcanion.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Im seeing way more team fires then I am seeing team grass

 

[Wario Bros.]

Scarlet/Violet will be cool, but are the Stadium games on the Switch Online yet?

 

[Z25]

Im seeing way more team fires then I am seeing team grass

That’s because fire lights the way to victory

That’s because fire lights the way to victory

You know what, I aint mad at that. Gg

Got some bad news for ya

Spoiler: Scar/Vio leak

Greninja is indeed in


But Protean/Libero are HELLA nerfed. They only work ONCE per switch-in now.

 

[SneakyLink]

Scarlet/Violet will be cool, but are the Stadium games on the Switch Online yet?

Not until next year.
I’m thinking both will be a simultaneous release.

 

[KillerCage]

why couldn’t Love & Thunder be at their level?

Am I the only one here who thought Love & Thunder was WAY better than Ragnarok?

 

[Shroob]

Spoiler: Scar/Vio leak

Not only is Landorus back

But they also gave it NASTY PLOT


Of all the Pokemon you could buff


Why on EARTH did you buff Landorus???

 

[TMNTSSB4]

who ****ing told Sonic Team to put in a pinball challenge with evil physics in Frontiers?

Am I the only one here who thought Love & Thunder was WAY better than Ragnarok?

you might honestly be the only one

 

[Wario Bros.]

Not until next year.
I’m thinking both will be a simultaneous release.

Kind of feel a simultaneous release is actually possible too, if Mario Party is something to go by.

But I knew it's next year, I am just an impatient boi

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Let the record show that Ash beat Leon by whipping out the stupid Thunder armor from the Gen 3 anime but it was better animated here.

Eh I'm cool with that

[I'm not a competitive player, I'm just glad I can get my Greninja to an HD game/ISPOILER]

Jeez Louise, the CGI in this is phenomenal!

also, play PMEX Remix

That actually made me tear up a bit. Golden Sun music makes me emotional even though I'm not that big of a fan.

Is Greninja in this? I might download it if he is

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I mentioned it last night but Kevin Conroy's comic in that DC Pride event is worth a read, it contains the F slur so fair warning but the final page has lived in my head rentfree since I first saw it

 

[Jondolio]

Wakanda Forever was really good

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Quick, someone answer, pokemon transfer question is Lopunny and Pumpkaboo transferable to scarlet and violet
