I remember seeing a lot of advertising for Rocket Power in my youth. But these days I barely hear any talk about it? Compared to all the other Klasky shows, anyway-

I hear it get brought up in lists of iconic Nicktoons a lot and the one person i've heard actually talk about it in depth i no longer trust their opinion so.....

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Ah, imagine if Rocket Power characters were in a Nickelodeon Racing game. Would they be on their skateboards or whatever?

 

[Wario Bros.]

I just bought the Mario movie official soundtrack and, man, it is just FIRE!

It's dated.

Like, SUPER dated

You're sick too? Sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon too.

Anyways, how is it going on the Microsoft-Activision deal?

Though I may answer my own question, I wanna know your thoughts because I found this...

Sony Lashes Out At Government For Not Shutting Down Microsoft Activision Deal

The PlayStation maker calls UK regulators’ reversal ‘irrational’

kotaku.com

I know the site may not be the best one there, but I saw other sources.

You'll likely see pigs flying in this lifetime then ever seeing WB and Disney ever getting along. LMAO.

Even if it was possible, who the **** would want it? At this point a lot of the big Marvel characters are retired or are about to be, while the DCEU is going through 4 separate identity crises at the same time. Also the superhero fatigue is very real if the recent box office numbers are anything to go by

 

[TheMightyP]

If this was like 2018, everyone would be.

But modern Marvel and the DCEU now sounds like a match made in hell.

Pfffft, that's just a myth fam.

Folks will never get tired of superheroes.

Even in 2018 I wouldn't be so sure cause the DCEU was still really struggling

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I think they were making passable-good movies at that time. Like Wonder Woman, Shazam, and Aqua Man would have got the ball rolling, but they ****ed it up by slapping Justice League in the middle

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Pfffft, that's just a myth fam.

Yeah keep telling yourself that, I'm sure musicals, westerns, gangster films, and literally every other genre that was ever popular in Hollywood will agree

See that wouldn't be so big an issue if Justice League didn't star their biggest characters. You know, the main reasons people would want such a crossover

 

[Schnee117]

The DCEU's problem was that they didn't immediately ditch Snyder after BvS tanked (though they should have ditched him after Man of Steel tbh). They got caught in a dumb situation where a director with completely different sensibilities had to finish his movie with JL and we got two ****ty movies and a cult out of it instead of just the one.

Everyone had to tie their **** in with a guy who wanted Superman to be Miserable Jesus.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Hell, we could've already seen the death of superhero movies with the reception to Batman & Robin. It's only because it happened around the time Blade was being filmed that the genre didn't die.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

It's dated.

Like, SUPER dated

LOL, you make a solid point. Even the intro is like the distilled essence of the 90s...and it also needs an epilepsy warning oops

I have the ****ing flu. It’s not as bad as covid was but i hate being sick

Dang sorry to hear. Get well soon

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Bro, the amount of people on my twitter that are seeing the mario movie 3 or more times, bro

 

[Wario Bros.]

Bro, the amount of people on my twitter that are seeing the mario movie 3 or more times, bro

I do plan on seeing it a second time but I'm not doing a third time.

I'll save that for the home release.

 

[Noipoi]

Bro, the amount of people on my twitter that are seeing the mario movie 3 or more times, bro

I'm seeing it again this weekend lol

Gonna bring my little cousins

 

[TheMightyP]

I could see it again Monday via a group I'm in but I just saw it Wednesday and idk I don't want to overindulge and begin to dislike it.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Ah, imagine if Rocket Power characters were in a Nickelodeon Racing game. Would they be on their skateboards or whatever?

Probably not tbh. The characters would be in Karts like everyone else.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I'll just wait for the home release to see it again.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

The Mario movie was fun. The best thing I can say about it critically is the animation was great. It was kinda rushed though, with multiple moments that could've been touching if more time was dedicated to them.

 

[Z25]

I have the ****ing flu. It’s not as bad as covid was but i hate being sick

I think that’s what I have right now. I got tested today though and it all came back negative. Despite all the symptoms and with a 101 fever, clearly something was going on. They still gave me

Hope you feel better though. Haven’t gotten the flu quite bit over the years, it can definitely be rough.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Probably not tbh. The characters would be in Karts like everyone else.

Yeah, I know. I just couldn't resist asking that question.

EDIT: Also, there is this.

Lawmakers want the Justice Department to investigate Warner Bros Discovery, claiming that the merger has harmed workers and reduced consumer choice.

The lawmakers cited the cancellation of projects such as BATGIRL and the removal of content from HBO Max.https://t.co/KHdnV0T14C pic.twitter.com/rgHBWqwAHV

I hope Zaslav gets his just desserts. As the head of Warner Bros. losing his job, not actually biting the dust. That'd be wrong.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

watched the Mario movie and all I can truly say to represent how much of a movie ∞/10 it is will be this one single word…Peaches

It’s probably making 300 million by the weekend ending.

I’d wager it makes another 300 million at least when it comes out in Japan.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

EDIT: Never mind,. The video has been removed. So how are you all?

How did I not realize it sooner???

The way I've been planning my Nitro Squad-focused cartoon...

[WeirdChillFever]

I must know. What is everyone's thoughts on Rocket Power?

Well, like the old Hawaiians said..

 

[PeridotGX]

Yeah keep telling yourself that, I'm sure musicals, westerns, gangster films, and literally every other genre that was ever popular in Hollywood will agree

I mean, it's not like those genres never see new releases. Superheroes are definitely going to stop being The Big Thing one day, but we're still probably going to see at least one every few years for forever. Sony has to **** out a spiderman every five years to keep the rights, and I can't imagine Warner and Disney will ever see Batman or Avengers or whatever as properties that should never get a movie ever again.

You know, I had a thought, Omori is one of those games where I cant stand the fandom but love the music

You can say that about every indie RPG
