Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

Just wait till you get to Bonkers.

The amount of fun significantly decreases.

I’m watching it. I decided to watch 8 shows at once because of the ammount of episodes each show has. So I’m watching Gummi Bears, DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Bonkers, and Gargoyles. One episode of each a day.

I at least heard of people who enjoy Bonkers

I haven't heard of anyone who has enjoyed Shnookums & Meat. That is where the true trash lies

Which is why I’m not watching that one. Or Quack Pack. Or Mighty Ducks.

I’m not watching Aladdin or Timone & Pumba either but that’s because of how directly connected to their movies they are (that and the Aladdin cartoon isn’t on Disney+ for some reason).

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Sorry I was quiet for a bit, was out of stuff to say lol.

Disventure Camp episode 9 came out tho, and all I'm gonna say is HOLY JEBEDIAH THAT WAS WILD

I know I should be focused on Paul but when the hell did MJ get superpowers?!

Apparently Detective Pikachu Returns makes a reference to the live-action movie.

Im not gonna lie im actually bummed that Power rangers finally got cancelled after narrowly avoiding it for 3 decades.

I wanted to see how they would localize stuff like Zenkaiger, Lupat or Kingohger.

I'm sorry, Power Rangers is getting cancelled???
That's genuinely surprising considering every season past In Space featured new teams disconnected from Zordon and they gone through multiple ownership changes including Disney.

Detective Pikachu 2 releases tomorrow.

Ngl, don't got a good feeling about this one

The real mystery that needs solving is why the 3DS version looks better than the HD console game

I enjoyed the original Detective Pikachu, but the sequel came way too late to generate any interest.
It doesn't help that the 3DS original looks significantly better than the HD sequel.

I'm sorry, but since WHEN did MJ become Gwen Tennyson???

easy…there’s no backstory nor any sort or reasoning to it. She randomly had jackpot powers during a crossover with Black Cat. Never been explained and has only been around since January or March (but hasn’t used them outside of dealing with demons). Once her new comic series starts up, they’ll probably attempt to explain why she even has them.

But for now we have to witness these characters be done dirty (and to also be grateful Cindy and Jessica haven’t been affected by the Peter/MJ/Paul/Norman stuff). Miles and Gwen dealing with these things has been hella rare atm (and they either quickly brush it off or ignore it completely)

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Look at me. I've watched two episodes of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers so far not knowing that there's a proper five part "first episode" story that was produced as part of season 2 for some reason! Why does nobody tell me these things!

I'm not blaming you guys. I'm blaming the fact that I googles "Rescue Rangers Watch Order" like 15 times and nothing ever came up!

Swear to god this is the most frustrating Tera Raid event so far because people keep using Koraidon against a FLYING ATTACK SPAMMER. WHY.

Game's been out a year and they still haven't learned.

Since we're mentioning Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers here, let me be the one to remind you all of the actually real, honest-to-god genuinely existing CULT based around the worship of funny cute mouse girl from that show

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Watched Loki’s season premiere and it reminds me more and more of how ****ed all the Spideys (mostly the MCU one) got by Sylvie, halfway Strange, and Wanda

…actually all spiders are ****ed over regardless now that I remember it

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I did hear about Hasbro planning to move away from Sentai, not sure that's gonna work out for them lol

"Sentai footage is holding us back" mfers when production costs increase significantly and for some reason they got weirdly racist again while barely becoming an improvement, if at all (They do not know how to handle the brand they only got for the sake of a monopoly)

 

[TMNTSSB4]

KingOhger is still using mostly volume filming in part 2, there is a little more on-site filming but overall it would be an extremely difficult series to adapt

I did hear about Hasbro planning to move away from Sentai, not sure that's gonna work out for them lol

I mean… being able to craft their own stories and characters 100% from scratch seems like a good thing to me.

 

[Shroob]

Gave up trying to do it solo so I joined a group online.


Was 3 Skeledirges, and then the host suddenly flipped to Torterra of all things.


I wasn't able to leave at that point so I was expecting the absolute worst, but the host was an absolute god using nothing but support moves like Reflect and TICKLE.



Hats off to that guy, talk about being anti-Meta.

These guys are still one of the creepiest (and coolest) Easter Eggs in any Mario game.

Looking at them while this music plays only adds to the atmospheric spooky factor:

It'd be a more reasonable excuse if they just said "We dont know how to fit the more recent Sentais into Power rangers canon"

The Sentai shows they havent used involve:

Trains

Minecraft zoo animals

Phantom Thieves

Gemstones

Miniature versions of Megazords

The Momotaro legend

Medieval political drama

Not exactly ranger teams that would sell in America.

Figures, just when I think I'm going to take a break from commissioning this month, an artist I've been waiting for finally opens up for the first time in about a year. I hope I can get a slot or two.

To me the primary issue is PR has never updated its sensibilities for the modern era. From what I've seen the modern shows still have cringe-inducing dialogue and storytelling that is obnoxious and condescending. We've seen many kid shows in the last several decades tackle thoughtful ideas and deliver complex characterization and storytelling but PR is still written like a 90s after school special with superheroes. I don't think original footage will change that.

Honestly the success of live action One Piece should be a wakeup call to American producers that you can sell a show with camp and cartoony special effects if it has real heart and emotion put into it.

From what i understand the PR restart is planned to be aimed at a YA demographic, im not really a fan of western YA fiction.

Honestly PR's charm to me all these years is that it's an American production with heavy Japanese elements in the designs for the heroes and robots, getting rid of that and only using American designed aspect just takes that away.

Sure the comics have American created rangers with the same general design asthetic as the Japanese ranger costumes, but you saw what Hasbro did in live action with Cosmic fury's suits, those looked awful.

In school. Going through human anatomy.

My dumbass called the lady parts the Vegeta.

I could say something here but ill be in massive trouble if I did

Thing is, Power Rangers has a history of doing unique and fun things with Sentai themes like turning Megaranger into a Space theme and also making Sentai Themes really bad like with Gokaiger.

But they could at least experiment, I could see ToQger, Kiramager and Zyuohger being used with some creativity.

but from what it sounds like i'm like 90% sure Hasbro is afraid to do any theme that is not Dinosaurs lol.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

On top of all of this i find what Hasbro chose to do weird because their most popular brand is also a collaborative effort between America and Japan.

All the designs and toys for Transformers are made in Japan with Hasbro just doing the stories that go along with them.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

You know what grinds my gears? the fact that when a pet bites a child because the child wouldn't leave the pet alone we get rid of the pet and not get rid of the child. **** them kids

Good night

Sure, but honestly I've always been of the opinion that once I discovered Sentai Power Rangers had no value to me. PR is just a watered down, Americanized Sentai that often has a patronizing attitude towards both its audience and the original Japanese productions.

kinda? Her power is that a random jackpot appears and spins onto something random, then she transforms and/or uses whatever it lands on thrice. Gwen and Eve were built far better in this case
