I would accept it. Reluctantly. A 3DS would be better.

I mean, obviously. The fact that there isn’t already a dog for the assist trophy is mind-boggling. How will we ever know who’s a good boy?!

Finally! I’ve always gauged the completeness of Smash by whether I could play every character from Captain N: The Game Master. If we allow Peach to stand in for Princess Lana (due to the pink, obvs) then all we’re missing is a giant, floating Game Boy and Captain N himself. What do we think are the odds on that one?

The only way I can imagine it working that would be any kind of satisfactory would be if you still get to pick your path even as the direction of the story shifts. For instance, in Mage v. Templar, you side with Templars but the mages “win” the popular vote. In your game, you’re still with the Templars, but now the…

I had no idea that Boba Fett was such a good boy.

Or maybe he was just a dragon.

I just wish Ghost Spider didn’t sound so dumb. Spider-Girl or Spider-Woman are much better. If the audience can handle the concept of multiple Spider-Men, it can handle multiple Spider-Women. This isn’t a problem. DC has a gajillion Green Lanterns and it’s fine.

I would add that it’s difficult to make a case for the transformation of language when all you’re really doing is going from “You’re terrible because you’re gay” to “you’re just terrible, generally.” That’s not a real transformation of language or terminology— you still intend to use the word the way it’s been used…

Considering how well the rest of the tech in his suit worked in this movie, they could easily have a scene where he’s clicking away at a failsafe return switch to no avail.

Another great exception to the rule. A totally out-there idea that’s just fun as hell - in part because of how different it is and because of how its differences allow a totally different kind of spin on traditional gameplay.

Every time I see people do alt-sports concept design work, I wish video games would be more willing to try some out-there takes on sports games. I suppose the venn diagram of people who spend a lot on sports games and people who love any/all other games doesn’t necessarily have a lot of overlap, but to see a studio…

It’s not made explicit in the article, but does anybody involved in this project have any actual history of anatomy/biology study? Like, are there actual experts involved in theorycrafting superhuman biology, or is this just writers spitballing about stuff they have only a loose understanding of? No disrespect…

A lot of people throwing out a lot of great suggestions, so I’m going to go for a more dark horse candidate for one of my all-time favorites: Transistor!

It’s like I said; a story can be meaningful to you, subjectively,and meaningless to the character, objectively, at the same time. People read stories for different reasons, and people find meaning and depth in different ways. I sometimes wish I could read Marvel & DC like I did when I was younger, but now I can only…

All RYV proved was that companies are finding ways to have their cake and eat it too. And most of the best stories corporate comics ever produced were Elseworlds tales outside the main continuity, where the typical rules of “No meaningful changes to the status quo” don’t apply.

It does mean that no change to status quo matters. If something that is done is ultimately undone, it didn’t matter. Nothing changed. The needle didn’t really move. Sure, some stylistic things shift with cultural trends over time, but we aren’t likely to see the kinds of seismic shifts today that we got in…

He wasn’t the only one. And over at DC, people were angry Lois and Clark got married, because it “trapped” them in that relationship in a way that could never be undone. Editors and publishers HATE marriages. A lot of writers, too. 

...And we’ll see how long that lasts. I’m not holding my breath.

Not really. SM/MJ lasted a while, but Marvel was trying to find a way out of it for years before they finally did One More Day. And that was such a huge pain to pull off that there’s a standing “no marriages” policy in place. Batman/Catwoman was never going to happen because you can’t have them get divorced and nobody…

All they did was tell us what any reader of the Marvel/DC canon should have already known: nothing in the lives of these characters will ever change in any meaningful way, and therefore none of their stories will ultimately go anywhere.
