If only there was a reliable way to watch those shows….

I will openly admit to have been doing this since the beginning of the streaming boom.

I view most streaming services like a scam that isnt worth the money.

Marvel’s official MCU timeline book confirmed that Scarlet Witch died in Multiverse of Madness…and yet I am unable to accept that (better retcon that **** to be like the comics)

MCU likes to have death be permanent because they don’t like comic books

On the flipside though, death has become such a "I don't care" thing in comics it's refreshing when death actually matters, in a morbid way.


It feels lame when a hero has a big fight and sacrifices themselves for the greater good only for them to come back to life a few issues later.

And yet in the movies it never feels like the death a character has is a satisfying end to their story, which may be a reflection of real life in a way. Like... DC or Marvel... a character has never been permanently killed off. With all the shifting continuity a toy can always be taken out and played with again. Whereas in the movies it always feels like mom is taking away your toys because "you've played with this one enough! Now play with this one instead!".

Didn't the original Captain Marvel stay dead? It'd feel pretty ****ty if they brought him back since, ya know, he died of cancer.

They've had him show up in a couple events where characters return from the dead according to wikipedia. TBH I didn't know why Mar-Vell stopped hero-ing in the comics.

Why did Nintendo make that damn flower slurp you up when you're a slime

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Superhero comic books tend to rarely have permanent deaths for characters who aren't just one-shots (usually villains or side-characters as opposed to the main heroes or major characters) in the comics timelines and, on a technical level, even in TV series and some adaptations.

As long as a character popularity sustains, writers and execs will find ways to bring them back, either by reviving them in one continuity or just rebooting things with newer comics or adaptations with new continuities.

Oh yeah Nintendo also updated their content guidelines.

Before Nintendo only really went after Pirated games.

Now they can go after pirated games, mods, emulators, and datamines.

Can't wait for them to go all-out attack on Fanon Wikis. It's possible.

Edit: Had Nintendo tried to shut down Fantendo?

My Twitter timeline will not update so this f*** ass post is stuck at the top of my timeline

sadly true outside of Gamora and Strange cause time was involved

MCU wise I’d say that Tony’s death was satisfying (even if saddening). In a way T’Challa’s as well since his legacy impacts the universe. Also a lot of the GOTG deaths. Maybe Natasha’s as well if they bothered to acknowledge it as a big deal more.

Most of the others can be debatable, such as Aunt May’s and Mysterio’s…but then there’s someone like Maria Hill…which…**** that choice

…funny enough he just came back in today’ comic relaunch of Captain Marvel

Who remembers this?

2006 was a simple time. I barely remember anything from that year, buuuuuut there was this absolute classic, so that's good!

They've always been after that from the jump, they just were usually quiet about it. There's a reason why Project M died.

Also also, modding is actually illegal in Japan, it's murky over on the west, one case is where Microsoft actually did arrest someone for modding a 360 but I forgot how it went

 

[Zinith]

Spoiler

I wonder who it is

Idk if this should be spoilered but, eh ill do it anyway
In one level, when you go over a flower in blob form, the flower will go "slurp and say you were tasty

 

[Guynamednelson]

Only modding consoles and their games, right? Because I've seen plenty of Japanese-made mods for the PC versions of GTASA and L4D2.

Rockstar and Valve are the last two companies I would expect to care about modding in their games

 

[Guynamednelson]

Rockstar

Valve sure, but Rockstar on the other hand was only really friendly to modders before Hot Coffee happened. The patch which disabled Hot Coffee also makes modding SA extremely limited.

Yeah, I believe so. And it's jail time.

Valve updated their modding policy a bit to make it recently, makes it a little strict in what's allowed.

Rockstar on the other hand... . They're super lawsuit happy and have sued fans without warning.

Edit: It's moreso TakeTwo Interactive who are super trigger happy. One of the worst out there

 

[Shroob]

'member when Bethesda wanted to sell mods?


I 'member.

There's a reason why people panicked when they bought FiveM. Luckily it doesn't seem too bad if you stick to lore-friendly cars...that aren't modified car models from any other game. Not even cars from Rockstar's other games are okay.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm still one level away from beating all Mario Wonder levels

Spoiler: Mario Wonder

Will 100%ing the game make something change with Captain Toad?

Microsoft in general has been doing a ****ty job with Minecraft lately.

Considering what I've heard about both how the bans work and how poor the official moderation is, the universal report system in particular basically means you have to be quiet on virtually any server,regardless of ownership or a server's individual rules if you don't want to risk being banned from online play entirely.

 

[HyperSomari64]

Can Honedge, Doublade, Aegislash, and any Pokémon that learns sword-based moves, qualify as Swordie McJRPGs?

As a standalone game I think it's gotten much better since Microsoft took over.

It's the terms of everything else that I can't stand. Microsoft is so incredibly greedy (which yeah ironic for best selling game of all time) with the monetization of their own texture packs and worlds (on a PAID game mind you), and then they don't bother fix the issues with the actual game. Java's multiplayer still sucks and they haven't made it any less archaic to run.

By all accounts and means, technically yes. But that moniker is reserved for the archetype of sword-wielding anime pretty boys.

The anime pretty boy, natural enemy of the cartoon animal mascot.

You're telling me Sordbert fits the criteria.

I wouldn't really call him a Pretty Boy with that haircut

He's pretty, alright. Pretty ugly.

Kind of a **** if you ask me

who the **** told Dhar Mann to make a Spider-Man video where Peter is powerless and black (while being played by King Bach) and Batman’s real name is Moose Wayne? What kind of drugs are they doing in the studio?

[Cutie Gwen]

Me whenever Prince Florian or a Poplin open their mouths in Mario Wonder

It's wild, Sonic has a story with character development in a game where nobody talks but Mario has the standard affair but so MUCH talking
