You know. Now that we’re getting new stuff in the 87 tmnt continuity again thanks to the IDW series, it would be neat to see some characters who are considered franchise mainstays now but never made it into that show, or were created after that show, be adapted into that continuity. Characters like Fugitoid, Renet, Savanti Romero, Karai, Hun & the Purple Dragons, Bishop, the Utroms, etc.

there’s also the mother Casey/Cassandra Jones
at this rate, Casey is gonna be every single type of human in history
I assume the designs are to make each main character as unique to one another as possible

This is how I learned an Inspector Gadget game came out
Finally finished reading my first Doujinshi manga. 37 pages and a whole bunch of N1 & N2 Kanji that were well beyond my skill level. Even though it was work, it was surprisingly relaxing, so I hope I can make a habit of it and using my Japanese skills more often. Now time to typeset and localize the dialogue as best I can.
It's only Tuesday now but I really can't wait for this week to be done already. Aside from Direct rumors, I have 2 Pokemon Art Commissions scheduled for completion this week, the Auction House Mandarake is set to reveal all of the Anime/Tokusatsu Merchandise that they will have up for sale at the end of the month, the Sora Amiibo comes out on Friday, and thanks to President's Day, I have a 3-Day Weekend.

I woke up to this
And suddenly I was falling into a whirling void of naught but nostalgiaRetro Studios' third Donkey Kong game will look phenomenal. Here's a very early cover art (possibly a placeholder).

Black History FACT:
Did you know Knuckles was supposed to have a Jamacian accent? In pre-Adventure material, Knuckles spoke with a Jamacian accent
Instead he was voiced by a white dude. Robbed.
But that's not all, Knuckles has a lot of insiration from Black Culture, and that's beyind the raps. There's his obvious dreadlocks, his shoes are based on the Rastafarian flag.
Adventure 1, he was more on the indigenous side, with his roots being based on the old indigenous tribes of the Americas... but that game also introduced his iconic raps, a common staple for modern black culture. Adventure 2 just went full trottle with his raps.
And then the later games just forgot all that so thanks SEGA.
And that's a FACT. A Black History FACT.
Don't let dumbasses on Twitter tell you otherwise, Knuckles is a (censored 5 letter word on Smashboards).

Hold up let me cook.
BLACK HISTORY FACT PART 2:
Sonic has a bunch of ties to Black culture, and I mean a lot.
Let's start off his his iconic red Shoes. They were based off these shoes
Which were worn by this guy in this song
Micheal Jackson, who was a fan of Sonic, came back to work on the Sonic 3 soundtrack, which is a big part why it's in legal hell.
Sonic's first ever Voice Actor was Jaleel White, a black man, famous for playing Steve Urkel in Family Matters. His siblings in Underground was voiced by the same guy.
Sonic's biggest musical motif is rock. Rock's origins can be traced back as an offshot of Blues and R&B, staples of Black Culture in the early 1900s. Of course there's also Knuckles's raps, which is more obvious in terms of origins, and Rouge's jazz also has roots in black culture.
And speaking of music, one iconic song of Sonic is Wrapped in Black
The vocals in this song is samples from Malcom X
(Sample is at 2:08)
Of course there's other, more obvious things too, Sonic and friends being being "freedom fighters" fighting against injustice and oppression, Adventure 2's very anti military and anti-police tone (which sadly didn't last past that game). Sonic loves breakdancing, bringing it back to the Hip Hop trend the series has, a good chunk of Sonic CDs Japanese soundtrack is inspired by R&B and Hip Hop of the 90s (aka why it slaps hard), and there's Shadow.
Lastly, Knuckles is voiced by Idris Elba. How awesome is that.

Say, have Directs been announced on Wednesdays? I ask because it does not look like one will be announced today.

Pokémon go had its Pokemon day event announced.

Unown
Make of that what you will, but…

Snake hypothetical: TMNT Mutagen + Pokemon. Double awesome? Horrifying monstrosities? Both? What do you think?

Glad to know Knuckles always hated ghosts. Can we get a Knuckles’ Mansion now?

There's no way 49er players thought a touchdown meant you win the game

Yeah the coach was pretty dumb to not tell his players the new rules, just sloppy. But they were getting dogwalked by Mahomes anyways so
.Also sports talk? On my Smashboards? Must be opposite day. Go Bears (I hate myself).

Gonna show It to my crush since she is from Ghana and may find It cool to see Walt Disney Animation doing stuff based on african culture.
I did not get an answer, so I hope it does not hurt to ask again; can Nintendo Directs be announced on Wednesdays?

I used to call WB games “one of the good ones”. Back when I played their games in the 360/early Xbox one days. Now I can’t. And I hate that.

If the direct is on Thursday
Yes, but has it happened before?

Yeah no wonder I couldn’t appreciate kino like this behind my DS speakers compressing the sound and being overridden by every time Sonic makes his loud ass WOOOOMP jump.

You forgot the part where a white woman (Amy) keeps mixing up Sonic with other hedgehogs. She's gotten better but still, hiw embarassing
TheMightyP
Smash Obsessed
She's mixed, she's just colorblind. Forgive her.
Also yeah, enjoy those Sonic facts. Truth is I didn't have a fact prepped for this week until I saw a Twitter Post saying that nobody said Sonic characters (and TMNT) were "black coded" until Twitter... and that just didn't sit right with me. Oh yeah, and they got iver 10k likes and people were gerting racist, and that REALLY didn't sit right with me.
So yeah, a double BHM post. You're welcome.

Marvel is still had some good ones, from Spiderman, Shang chi, black panther 2, multiverse of madness, and even the marvels was solid, it just was a little short of perfect because they fumbled a few arcs. But this movie definitely seems like it could be up there with the greats.
