I don't know what you're talking about. It's not like any adaptations of western literature are made to intentionally **** on its themes...

Don't forget Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" from 1992, which, while technically pretty accurate to the book, needlessly adds backstory fluff to Dracula to "humanize" him.

Also, Man of Steel, which technically goes against everything Superman stands for.

And Disney's Hercules, which is just... a hot mess compared to the actual mythology.

We can go on and on and on and on.

Hey now.

Hercules may be a mess.


But it gave us 2 blessed things.

and Danny DeVito but 2 feet shorter, and extra hairy.

Why those specific characters?

Though Wario I understand...
On /v/, there's this running gag that all the villain characters (and Wario) make contrarian statements because it's evil. Some examples I've seen include:
-In the McDonald's personality triangle, they're the sort who go to the drive-thru, order a coffee...then leave without saying anything
-In the "Bayonetta is Joker's mom (or lover)" tier-list (can't find it anywhere on /v/ now), characters are placed based on whether they feel she is his mom or a romantic partner. The bad guys all have a hilariously-wrong "Why not both?" response

Yes, this is true.

However, Disney is the most guilty of literary/mythological revisionism.

I mean, they're good stories, but not necessarily good adaptations.

Time and time again, whenever the cycle would start up, it would end the same way. People come, people go. This time... It's different. People of the "thread" has been torn apart. Loved ones left, and comrades at each others' throats. Insiders, theories, beloved icons wanted, only to become costumes...

The main differences I remember are:
-That there are two genies, one from a ring and the other from the lamp (ring genie is kinda weak)
-Its in China I think?
-Aladdin defeats the equivalent of Jafar by tricking him and stealing the lamp

I watched an adaptation of the 1001 nights, so dunno how accurate it is.

You know, here's a fun idea that won't go well at all, is there a character support base you consider to have an over-the-top victim complex on this site?
Bias incoming: That I've seen? No. At worst, some of my characters have supporters evoking the CHADitude, with some ****posting here and there, but nothing to the level of "Insert-character-here deserves to be in Smash because they've been requested heavily/are the only fan-requests missing/Sakurai likes them, etc.", alongside the victim baggage that comes with it.

If we're talking inaccurate Disney adaptations, Fox and the Hound is another prime offender.

In the movie Copper and Tod are close friends torn apart by circumstances, in the book most of Copper's entire life is spent trying to hunt and kill Tod.

In the end, if Banjo doesn't get in, it'll still make for a fantastic piece in SmashBoards history. If he gets in? ****ing Avengers: Endgame alternate ending leaked, boys. I did it.

But honestly, ever since Joker's reveal at The Game Awards it's so ****ing boring, and the February Direct didn't help at all. So? The death pacts and bets made this a hell of a lot more interesting than just ZoePosting, Banjo VS. Steve, "Erdrick ain't in Smash, etc."

I'm glad I somehow even made people who didn't like Banjo such as you, osby osby and others now want him just for the meme. This is almost starting to become this site's "Sub to PewDiePie" almost, now that I think about it, haha.

But hey, we gotta take **** in our own hands, and dammit, if this means the last time I'll ever be Scott the Woz, so be it. After all...

I know what it's like to lose.

I think a few fanbases have it to some degree, the perception of a character differs pretty much if you're no part of their fanbase and some see their characters as deserving even going by stretches. This is somewhat fueled by them seeing anti-fans ****ting on them which makes them grow with the desire of feeling superior when their pick is revealed.

What's the point of betting if you don't risk it all?


That's why the suicide pacts are so fun to watch. People risking the reputation they've built up, all the likes, the posts, everything. All over a single character.

...Now see.

"Punished Scott" isn't just a whole thing about being a part of the SmashBoards lore, it's a way of life. It's hard to keep up this form, and I had to break free. While yes, you can see the heartbreak in people like Etika, RogersBase, ZeRo during that November Direct... It would only be a simple fraction of the heartbreak that I took. The wars that we shared just to push our fellow salvager... For what? All those months, all this time, and only just for the fellow man to be skinned?

You wouldn't believe how much whiplash it gave me. I finally realized what it meant to lose something that you loved with all your heart, pushed and nurtured like a proud father. People around this thread might not like their origins, and yeah, they look rather weird.

But no one in this goddamn thread loved Rex & Pyra more than I do.

I was broken. I changed man. When I was around all the moments when we all saw the info brokers fall, leaving only Spawn and Panda in that lonely island we saw that night, with DaybreakHorizon DaybreakHorizon howling with joy at the sight of the Calling Card, I could only feel happiness for others. Yet... Not for myself. I lost that long ago.

Now? I have a regained hope. Something awoke inside me again, when we all made pacts. I couldn't help but to 1-up everyone. My gimmick, my persona, my soul and ****ing being. That bet turned me from "Punished Scott" to "Reformed Scott". You can't lie on the past forever. You gotta get back up and throw one last punch, even if it means winning or losing it all. That's why I did it. For the good of others, for the people who wanted Banjo & Kazooie for 20 years... and for me.

Shroob... You have my respect.

I hope the people of SmashBoards will remember me.

I think it's the red eyes that did it. I feel scared of the consequences if I don't.

Oh hey I just noticed your new signature.

Very nice, I have to say.
One, I'm impressed you managed to find all those images of Jill (even if one is technically Cammy)
Two, you put some effort with the whole transparent bottom and Jill being behind it.

If you don't watch it, she'll appear in your room tonight and stare at you from the darkest corner.

All you'll see is her eyes glowing in the distance.
