Mark Hamill explains why he doesn't expect to ever return as #Joker:

"They would call and say, 'They want you to do the Joker,' and my only question was, 'Is Kevin [Conroy] Batman?' [...] Without Kevin there, there doesn't seem to be a Batman for me." 💔https://t.co/sZCvfilwLM pic.twitter.com/6wespWVe5s

Pretty much what I expected.

It's unfortunate, I'm gonna miss his Joker, but it really is hard to imagine him without Kevin Conroy's Batman

New poster for Scream 6:

Notice anything familiar about the station names...

Next Luigi’s mansion really should use some of the Boo variants we’ve seen in other games like Eeries, Ghost Goombas, Fighing Boos, Octoboos, Broozers, heck even the Jelly Ghost. Would be really fun.

I would love grabbing the Bomb Boo and swinging around by the tongue.

All this negative reception for HBO's Velma and yet its getting a second season? How does that work? What happened to Spongebob or Loud House ratings being required? Hmmm...

Considering HBO max is reviving clone high with two new seasons, it’s likely they don’t care about immediate ratings. Or at least not ones that high.

Also given close enough also got a two season pickup before cancellation, it’s likely they just green light everything for two seasons to test the waters.

Honestly, this Velma series just feels emblematic of everything I hate about modern Hollywood

-Holds contempt for its audience and feels the need to take shots at them
-Adaptation of a nostalgic property that feels like it needs to “fix” upon its formula, combined with completely misunderstanding and/or disrespecting legacy characters
-Abrasive, entitled unlikable female protagonists who’s toxic views are 100% validated by the narrative (possibly self-inserts as well)
-Tearing down male characters to build up the female cast
-Having skewed views on animation (talking dog = kids cartoon despite Family Guy existing)
-Adult cartoons having a false sense of maturity like blood/gore, nudity, drugs, swearing, shock value, etc.
-Inserting all types of modern politics into places where they don’t belong
-Mean-spirited and spiteful writing that feels like the creators are using the project as personal therapy
-Using diversity/minority groups as a means to garner attention and as a meat shield to defend against criticisms
-Over-reliance on meta humor

Doesn’t help that Kaling perpetuates a lot of harmful Indian stereotypes and shows possible signs of transphobia. Honestly this whole project just feels like a waste of effort on everyone’s part.

Signs of? Nah I think she makes it pretty clear she is transphobic.

Big JK Rowling fan, her character on the office had basically just racist jokes and toxic relationship as her main traits, was wearing hats embodying make America great again( just changed the name to paddy’s for context in the episode) in it’s always sunny when she was in one episode.

Haven’t seen her other work, but I don’t think I need to. It’s clear she seems to be a pretty terrible person irl. Or at least super in creative, insensitive, and bad at writing.

I have no idea how she got Glenn howerton on this show, when he and Charlie day fight Rob Mcleany on it’s always sunny to not write humor like this.

Decided to revise my favorite Pokémon list:

1. Greninja
2. Chandelure
3. Decidueye
4. Grimmsnarl
5. Salamence
6. Scizor
7. Infernape
8. Krookodile
9. Lucario
10. Tyrantrum

Staraptor and Metagross used to be on the list, they still rank pretty high (Staraptor is like number 11) but I didn't feel like they were a good fit for my top 10. Meanwhile Infernape and Lucario are some of my childhood favorites, it felt wrong not to have them.

[Cutie Gwen]

1. It doesn't have to be a romantic option.
2. Another Jun scenario happened and it got a rerelease today, it's called Persona 3 Portable.

Fair enough. Also, P4 got a rerelease today so I am certain there's gonna be a ****ton more discussion about how Atlus handles LGBT characters whether I like it or not

tbh the only ones that are set for me are the top 3, the rest shuffle constantly and I have a bunch of favorites that don't even fit nearly into a top 50 or 100

3. Victini
4. Greninja
5. Espathra

Things below Tyrantrum sorta shift, but this is how I'm feeling rn.

Nice choices all around, especially Xerneas and Meowstic.

Also, I forgot about it but Espathra is really one of the designs that stuck with me the most from the last game.

7. Girafarig

I have started P4 on Switch.

God, i love video games that use that small town Japan asthetic, it's so damn comfy.

I don't have a definitive answer but I'm considering if I will get Disney+.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

If someone stole a package from me, all they're stealing is Gatorade that I can't buy here where I live.

It's also a small town so I will find out who stole it.

What flavor Gatorade?

Yes I put 12 pokemon on my top 10 list, shuddup.

 

[Megadoomer]

I downloaded Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden on Switch. I've beaten the base game of Persona 4, but I'm not sure what's new for Golden, and I started Persona 3 on PS3 but stopped once the inability to control any party members aside from the main character got annoying.

I'll start with Persona 3, considering that most of the game will be new to me. I think I'll go with the female protagonist, since by my understanding, the male protagonist's social links with the opposite gender automatically turn romantic (meaning that the only way to max out every social link is to cheat on everyone with everyone else), whereas I don't think that's the case with the female protagonist. I could have some details wrong, though.

Yup, that's true.

Mind you that Persona 3 wasn't really designed with maxing all S. Links in a single playthrough in mind so you may want to check a guide if you want to do that, as it requires a lot of careful managing and some game mechanic exploitation and save scumming.

Mimikyu
Jigglypuff
Chandelure
Gengar
Dewott
Magnezone
Porygon-Z

My Top 10 is about the same but Greninja has been pushed out of the top 10.


Also, I'm taking a garner at the Show that the internet hates. So far it's... meh

I think in Golden they mostly just add more scenes of the characters bonding with each other, new voice lines and i think a new boss?

This almost made my list but then I realized I had forgotten Grovyle, and so it had to be cut.

Mawile

I considered Mawile to, mainly because of its mega but the base form is still cute.

Yeah. Ask me my favorite pokemon 100 different times and I'll give you 100 different answers.

Okay, but have you considered: VTubers can be guys as well?

Damn, You got me

Episode 1 of Velma done.

The jokes don't land all the time (sometimes they do) and the characters are kinda annoying (I actually do like Shaggy/Norville) but there is a semblance of an overarching mystery here and so far the mystery is actually kinda... decent.

I uh... don't hate it. If it focused on the mystery over the bad comedy I'd like it significantly more.

But it's not like, the Antichrist of animation like people make it out to be

Yeah, I'm on episode 2 and aside from the #MeToo joke it's genuinelly been mid-ok for the most part.

Now what surprised me is that I actually got a laugh out of this show. Honestly, the biggest issue is that it's attached to Scooby Doo, but I'm treating this as an entirely new universe all together and it's actually... enjoyable is some aspects. I think... I actually might like this show.

I feel like the way they advertised this series was intentionally trying to get people riled up and talk more about an otherwise "bleh" show.

3. Decidueye

My favorite Pokemon list looks something like this:

1) Gallade
2) Greninja
3) Armarouge/Ceruledge (both are equal in their placement to me)
4) Aegislash
5) Lurantis
6) Shaymin (Sky Forme)
7) Swampert
8) Meloetta
9) Chandelure
10) Corviknight

Gallade still has been my favorite ever since he debuted in Gen 4, and Greninja has been my 2nd favorite since his inclusion in Smash 4. Armarouge and Ceruledge have both made their into my top 5: I love them both equally they both resemble Gallade in a very cool way (from the eyes to the similar body-type).

Honorable mentions for some of my other favorite Pokemon include Roserade, Primarina, Lycanroc (Midday and Dusk Forms), Dialga, Inteleon, Centiskorch, Meowscarada, Tinkaton, Scizor, Piplup, Mudkip, Sprigatito, Floette, Hisuian Lilligant, and Empoleon.

 

[Aurane]

What flavor?

I bought a combination pack so the first one was red/yellow/orange, and the other one was a frost combination with light blue/blue/purple.

Purple is my favorite, with yellow at second.

Also while I'm here, Noipoi I am inside your house.
