They have no business making a Banjo Kazooie movie until the franchise is relevant with anyone under the age of twenty five.

I say this as a Banjo fan under the age of 25

I'm 24 and have been a fan since highschool. But I see your point.

Come on Microsoft. Remakes and a new game. Follow the Crash Bandicoot model!

The Simpsons episode where the Homer, Bart and Lisa go to E4 and see the Zii Zu get unveiled has aged interestingly.

Yeah, except I think E4 is dying in the Simpsons universe, just like E3 in the real life universe.

Awesome news. Thomas Robb, The Leader of The KKK, has died at 77-Years-Old. pic.twitter.com/KcyytApvry

that’s awesome

Good. May he rot in the fiery pits of hell and experience the most agonizing pain as his flesh turns into a crisp as the ghosts of the klan's victims scream into his ear, "do you like how that feels, jackass?"

I feel like this whole video game movie discourse is gonna revive the whole "Scrimblo Bimblo" vs "Sword McJRPGguy" discourse and it'll be 20x worse

hissssssssss speak only actual words. And do not demean such beloved characters with baby babble.

The Banjo movie's decision to forego regular talking in place of using the game's grunts was baffling.

Even more so was the post credits scene where Wizpig meets Gruntilda to talk about Diddy Kong and putting a team together.

You're right, I shouldn't demean beloved RPG classics. Give Golden Sun a movie please.

Okay but getting big name Hollywood actors to just make the funny noises would be hilarious.

I can agree to this. I don't hate RPGs. I just also hate the internet's use of demeaning baby talk to talk about things they enjoy, for some reason. I don't get how you can affectionately insult something.

Paper Mario movie but there is 0 dialouge. Instead, they make the noises of the text boxes as subtitles appear on screen.

I dunno it’s like how one would call a cute little puppy an idiot. You don’t really think it’s stupid, but it’s so darn cute you can’t help but insult it.

God I wish I had that guy's writing prowess

Also I stand by everything I said. Dude probably had hundreds of Black people and Jews killed and was very likely a contributor to the US's rise in antisemitism

Because if I don't like it, then it sucks and that's just facts.

I love how we're blaming Marvel for everything now but let's not forget that DC and Sony are just as responsible for this superhero fatigue as Marvel is with DC's inconsistent output and Sony's near universally awful output (Spider-Verse notwithstanding)

Marvel may have started this trend but the other companies don't get to go scot-free

No I blame the MCU. Because of their formula they kept repeating, the DCEU and Sony films proceeded to copy said formula which following other films not related began to try copying its success. I always thought the problem wasn't superheroes in general but the MCU itself because since the Guardians films, they've been making their movies all feel the same. They thought because Guardians was a success, this same kind of humor would work for their films ongoing. Notice prior to Guardians there previous MCU films weren't as humorous, had a more balance to it?

One of the reasons I feel the MCU ruined cinema as we once knew it. Even the MonsterVerse since KotM attempting that stupid formula. Everything apparently had to be like the MCU!

 

[TMNTSSB4]

oh no

Anyways what video games are y'all looking forward to?

You’re heading to the rip bozo cookout…also obviously TOTK and Spider-Man 2

Maybe in money but the quality is where it was.

both matters most, and with the exceptions of the smaller characters (and Ant-Man), their box office numbers have been fine

RIP BOZO

Good, the world could use less people like that guy.

you’re both coming to the cookout

Sony tends to get counted underneath Marvel to make things easier

Good. May he rot in the fiery pits of hell and experience the most agonizing pain as his flesh turns into a crisp as the ghosts of the klan's victims scream into his ear, "do you like how that feels, jackass?"

too nice of a punishment for him somehow

The Mario movie is making bank because it's Super Mario, not because of some great act of defiance against the MCU.

A Crash Bandicoot or Mass Effect movie wouldn't be doing numbers like this, any Marvel movie would probably crush them. (Not to **** on those franchises of course)

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Meanwhile The Boys, Amazon's Invincible, Sony's Spider-Verse. Those are being their own things.

It's the MCU that has been the problem. Not superheroes as a whole.

Idk a Mass Effect movie would've been huge in lime 2013

Nah I'm sorry this ain't it

Up until recently Marvel's output was pretty damn good. I even enjoyed Spider-Man NWH and Black Panther 2 which were pretty recent

DC and Sony tried to copy that formula because it worked. They failed because of mismanagement and a general lack of vision, which is not something I can attribute to the MCU pre-Endgame. Marvel poisoned cinema in their own way, sure, but that wouldn't have been possible without DC films and Sony's venomverse allowing that poison to consume the entire film industry.

Regardless of where we all stand on the matter of the MCU, can we all agree that wow wow Wubbzy Wubbzy Wubbzy wow wow?

"Superhero fatigue is finally kicking in"

Has been said every year since The Avengers came out.

So has "It is kicking in for real this time"


I swear this conversation happens every week at this point.

“This is the 7th movie in a role where you said superhero fatigue would kill the superhero genre Sheen”

 

[Jondolio]

It's the MCU that has been the problem. Not superheroes as a whole.

All different mediums. Spider-Verse is an animated film, Invincible is an animated TV show, and The Boys is a TV show.

Also I haven't watched The Boys but i know it's an explixit critique of modern superhero culture which proves that superheroes as a whole are, in fact, the problem, not just Marvel.

If Scrat was the mascot for Blue Sky and not from 20th Century Fox as a whole, so that means the Simpson family weren't their company mascots as well?

I am deadass struggling trying to figure out a 6th member of my Platinum team. Like, I'n trying not to ise any of my Brilliant Diamond team (Empoleon, Luxray, Staraptor, Ambasnow, Houndoom, Toxicroak), and I'm not trying to cause overlaps in typings of my cirrent team (Grotle, Meditite, Zubat, Pachurisu, Biberal) but I am legit blanking

I don't care if it actually makes it's money back. I just hope the Mario movie doing numbers tricks some gullible CEO into greenlighting the film.

Spider-Verse proceeds to connect itself to the MCU, as did all the other Spidey movies thanks to No Way Home
