Honestly of all the gaming series I loved in my childhood, Sonic the Hedgehog is the one that stayed the most true to itself.

Spyro became God of War with 1% of the budget for a time and then Skylanders happened
Crash became a weird beat-em-up and then vanished for years
Jak and Daxter...just disappeared into thin air
We don't talk about Ratchet and Clank

But Sonic stayed Sonic, with a fun blend of classic AND modern stylings and giving me a comfort character that actually stuck around. It's great!

Honestly… catching up on the mcu would be more fun if more of these shows were movies. Like I get why WandaVision was a show having watched it. And obviously it makes sense for What If to be a show. But some of these others… it just makes the total amount of content I have to watch longer.

And that’s probably the point isn’t it… to keep you watching longer…

Eternals and Falcon/Winter Soldier really would have benefitted from switching mediums. The former had too little time to fill out it's ideas, the latter kinda meandered

Saw Antman 3 in a 25% full theater. YIKES! It’s pretty bad. MODOK and everything about him in unforgivable. The cringe humor and one liners are not good either. Now I get why critic scores are so low.
The good news is that Kang is absolutely great. He’ll only get better too.

I wouldn't go that far. I just saw it myself like an hour ago. It wasn't amazing but it was solid. I actually kind of enjoyed MODOK. I think the point of him was to be kind of weird and unsettling and he's always been a goofy and over the top character. I think he worked. Plus they even worked in how he "died" in the first Ant-Man as an explanation of why his body is like that now. I can't remember anything being cringe. If anything it kind-of felt like a movie where stuff happened "because comics". You know what I mean. The kind of insane stuff that only happens in comic books where a giant horde of sapient ants and a fleshy man baby in a robot chair assist a rebelling host of random aliens that are a tribute to a long forgotten toyline tie-in comic in taking down a time traveling dictator. It all happens "because comics" and it's the kind of fun most superhero movies have just refused to have for a long time. It kind of felt refreshing.

I certainly didn't like it as much as the second Ant-Man. I actually really like that one and how everything in it works, especially how it handled it's villain and Janet's return. But it's not horrible. It's not amazing either. It's just solid. There are parts of it I really like and wish more comic book movies would lean in to. IMO.

Look at that. First Marvel movie I've actually watched since Far From Home and I'm actually defending it.... if you told me that I'd be doing this a year ago I'd call you a liar.

Yu, Yousuke, Yikkiko, and Naoto have been my main team in P4G so far

P3P it was Kotone (and Mankoto by default), Yukari, Mitsuru, and Koromaru as my main team (next playthrough I should really use Junpei more)

P5R I always have Ren and Makoto on my team…with the other 2 spots depending on who I feel like using, while in P5S the extra 2 sports are for Yusuke and Morgana (cause man Strikers made them really great fighters…Makoto still better than them all, but that aside)

with the Persona trilogy, I’m now trying to figure out if I have a type when it comes to the members I use i fights the most

OK.... am I crazy or is the MCU building up to the Young Avengers? Like... almost all the essential characters exist in this universe.

We Young Avengers fans have been speculating about this like crazy for years now.

It's going to be a disaster but I'd love to see how they'd handle it either way.

I mean.. they're just missing Hulkling and Iron Land (and I guess Wiccan and Speed but the seeds on that front have already been planted) and we are already dealing with quite a few Kangs. Heck, maybe Kamala could be a Young Avenger in place of Kid Vision in this timeline.

I could see it being one of the mystery unannounced phase six movies. Especially since some of the Phase 5 stuff dealing with Skrulls would be a perfect place to introduce Hulkling. Or maybe they could even get away with doing it as a show.

Also as someone who is fresh off of WandaVision and knows where the character is headed in Dr. Strange 2... I really hope that she gets some sort of happy ending in the future. And hopefully, if she does come back from the dead, she brings her brother with her cause I miss him a lot.

Teletoon had so much charm, even without all of its many banger cartoons. I dunno what this means for all of Teletoon's amazing original cartoons, but I REALLY hope they'll still have a home, on this new CN or otherwise. But whatever the case...DAMN this hurts me...

Can't wait to see the last trailer before the movie's arrival in 2 months.

Also, racing on Rainbow Road and Toad driving a monster truck. Fitting for his personality being different then the usual toads.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
This person tweeting is a consultant for Xbox, FYI.

Call of Duty plus 12 more Xbox games on Nintendo console is crazy.

EDIT: I wonder if this includes NSO ports

My father has forced me to watch the first episode of TLOU and is going to quiz me on the episode afterwards…this is a dark gamer time for me to go through

can’t even play more P4G until it’s over :drsad::sadeyes::sadsheep:
