HOLY ****ING SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT, Cutie Gwen Cutie Gwen WAS OH SO RIGHT. THIS IS THE BEST SUPERMAN THING I SAW IN A LONG ASS WHILE.

I thought Superman & Lois would be the best we got, but here comes this wholesome story of a Young Superman learning to handle his newly found powers and dealing with a very well-written relationship with Lois and Jimmy Olsen that puts everything Zack Snyder has done with the character to full shame. I loved every single bit of these characters and I am unironically excited to watch more.

AND HOLY **** THE ANIMATION. It goes for this mix of western and japanese animation which just bodes oh so well with the character designs, also makes the action look really ****ing good. I could even compare It with Invincible although there isn't that much blood and gory stuff. I had the dumbest smile all the way throught this first episode because It was all done so well.

So yeah, ** the """anti-sjws""" hating on this show, ** any worries you may have about this show and specially **** Man Of Steel: THIS IS THE BEST THING SUPERMAN-RELATED I'VE SEEN AND YA'LL SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH IT SO WE GET A SEASON 2 AND 3. I FREAKING LOVED IT. THIS IS MY FAVOURITE ANIMATED THING SINCE THE OWL HOUSE AND SPIDER-VERSE.
ejem So yeah: show's good, watch It and you won't regret It. And sorry for all that, got hyped AF after watching It.

I'll definitely check it out, just not sure when since there's so many things I want to check out

learning that the voice of Suki (aka the best female in ATLA) did the voice for Chun-Li in SF6…pretty cool

I saw the episode and wow, I was excited for this and I am glad that it is just as good as I hoped.

I'm curious what the talking flowers in Super Mario Bros. Wonder will provide to the game beyond providing commentary.

Are they the game's true villains?

To Anyone who every played Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion, do you remember the Synergy Attacks? It was basically a secondary Final Smash where if your character happened to summon the proper Assist Trophy they would team up and do a cinematic attack, separated from the Final Smashes. It was cool and the pairings were all really weird and interesting.

Now what if Smash Ultimate had that? Who should be paired up with who and what could they do? I think that would be a fun thought experiment.

Step 1: Make Tails a fighter
Step 2: When either Sonic or Tails summon Knuckles, they pull some Sonic Heroes ****.

On one hand that's really fun and I hate to be a killjoy

On the other hand the appeal of the idea, to me at least, is characters from different games you wouldn't expect teaming up.

Who do y'all got?
Me personally, it gotta be Wonder Woman
At this point it's probably Iron Man.

Which is wild considering before the MCU dude wouldn't have scratched top 10.

But he is the most "main character" of the main characters of history's biggest movie franchise. Narratively, maybe tied with Cap, but attention/promotion-wise, Iron Man takes it.

I gotta second Iron Man. Wonder Woman and Captain America are definitely in the running though.

But have you all considered...

Somewhere out there on this big blue marble
Episode 1 of Ultraman Blazar is out!

The English subs are available but there are some technical difficulties with getting Youtube's new dual audio thing to work. This is gonna be up for 2 weeks so if you want to see this newcomer friendly show, this is your best shot
Update, the English dub is now available, hit the gear icon to change which dub you want to watch, now that I'm finally off work I can get to this

I'd definitely go with Wonder Woman for this one. Though here's the thing...


On a related note, I've almost 100% completed Lego Batman 2. (ironically, one of the last achievements that I'm missing is one of the easiest to get - I just have to beat a mission in co-op, but I only have one working Xbox 360 controller) It wound up being much easier than I thought (I figured 250 gold bricks would be difficult to get, but I'm already at 225), and it got me thinking about what an open world Superman game would be like.

Just flying around as Superman in that game with the John Williams theme blaring in the background is a lot of fun, but I can see both the benefits and drawbacks of an open world Superman game - if you're playing as Superman, you're going to want to be ridiculously powerful, but not to the point of the Lego games where you're basically invincible while playing as Superman. (I have an idea of what a Superman game could be like, though I'd be concerned that it's ripping off Batman: Arkham City)

The game starts off with Superman battling a LexCorp robot in the middle of Metropolis, near the Daily Planet. Police and other emergency workers have evacuated that part of the city, leaving only a few civilians, emergency workers, Daily Planet reporters, and villains who are waiting for Superman to be weakened while fighting that robot to take their shot at him.

This serves as a taste of Superman's full power before Brainiac shows up, shrinking that section of Metropolis and putting it in a bottle similar to Kandor. He activates the forcefield around his ship and begins to charge up a weapon that will destroy Earth - none of the other heroes can break through Brainiac's forcefield, so it's up to Superman to free himself, find a way to return to normal size, and defeat Brainiac.

However, there are some problems:
-while Brainiac strives for accurately recreating the conditions of his bottled cities, he introduced an "impurity" into the solar energy, mostly to spite Superman. While it doesn't impact humans, this impurity brings Superman down to his Golden Age levels of strength, so he can't fly at the start of the game (rather, he can leap tall buildings in a single bound), and explosions and the like can hurt him, at least slightly.
-the villains took advantage of the chaos to establish footholds in the city, forcing Superman to take on the likes of Lex Luthor, Bruno Mannheim and Intergang, Parasite, Livewire, Metallo, and Toyman if he wants to get out of the Bottled City of Metropolis. (they presumably have devices/equipment that could be used to make a one-use makeshift device to negate Brainiac's shrinking, so that Superman can use it on himself to defeat Brainiac and use Brainiac's tech to restore Metropolis)
-Mr. Mxyzptlk has chosen today to cause his particular brand of mischief - sure, he could leave whenever he wants, but he'd rather force Superman to complete various inane (or insane) challenges.

As you complete story missions and sidequests, you build up experience that allows you to get Superman's skills back up to where they were at the start of the game. Ideally, it would do more to take advantage of Superman's supporting cast like Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Krypto the Superdog, Dan Turpin and Maggie Sawyer, and so on.

oh wowzers
I remember the time when CEO David Zaslav stated that he "wanted to protect the DC brand" after Batgirl's cancellation and after the box office performances for Shazam: Fury of the Gods and currently for the Flash, he certainly has not justified much of his point very well.

Probably between Wonder Woman (for DC) or Iron Man (for Marvel.)

I have seen multiple instances of little kids playing Peaches full volume on their tablets in public. Yes, multiple :yoshi:
those little Koopalings
Nintendo when they see Kidz Bop covered their song:
( it’s a threat to their IP)
Nintendo, stopping canon events since 1889
Though here's the thing...
ok that was clever

Zaslav hasn’t been that smart so far
