I will never understand how Hasbro was unable to make G.I.Joe a huge thing once again. You have superhero comic book movies making bank, and one of the biggest gaming franchises of the past decade has been frickin’ Call of Duty. The military aspect wouldn’t be something that makes it LESS popular. Then you add in the…

The joke was relatively pointless and commonly made by pretty much everybody so, I thought I’d just help out with your little factual issue there as that was the much more interesting part of your post.

I came down here in the comment looking for this EXACT thing. It’s not even Ingrid Bergman, which is an odd mistake, but is at least SOMEBODY. But who the hell is Ingrid Berman? Is she related to Rick Berman? Did Rick Berman finally get a sex change to dodge all the Star Trek hate he gets? More so, did he do enough…

I think it’s more like she assumes by just saying it will be so, it makes it so.

That’s exactly what I’m curious about. I could have taken or left the NES Classic itself, I mean I’ve gotten to the point where I want the original games themselves on cart. But that controller I could use on my Wii to play the NES games I downloaded when the Virtual Console was fresh? THAT I was interested in! If…

They don’t actually have them in hand. They’re posting them under the assumption they’ll get their hands on them. These kind of “preorders” are pretty common on ebay.

The Alien franchise desperately needs to embrace the Anthology format, in that you tell a story in the universe, but don’t have any connective tissue between them other than say the retro-futuristic technology, the colonial marines, the corporation or the xenomorphs. The more they try to connect things to a larger…

You’re overthinking it just a smidge. It’s not about who deserves what. They’re basically advertisements for you to go watch the Netflix series. There’s no point in Punisher having a logo for a series you can’t go watch right now. It’s the same reason Bullseye doesn’t get the Daredevil logo, he’s not in the series so…

I’ve been saying this for a while. I’d LOVE a revival of StarTropics as a kinda lighter tone God of War/Platinum Games 3D Arcade Brawler with a dose of Zelda exploration and RPGLite mechanics tossed in for good measure.

I’ve been waiting since 2011 for this style Cobra Officer to suppliment my Cobra Troopers... so OF COURSE it’s a limited collector thing in a convention exclusive set. Why you gotta be this way to army builders, Hasbro...?

Correct. And giving it attention helps stop this kind of nonsense. But your original post was asking what he seeks to gain, why he would do it. The simple answer was money, not trying to protect his brand or anything of that nature, simply that he sees it being used and feels he can make a profit on all other artists…

In a perfect world, yes, but the trademark office is currently broken. It issues trademarks quite often without even checking if its a widely used thing. He just has to be lucky enough to hit that one point where it goes “yeah sure” and stamps it as his. I mean, we live in a world where T-Mobile owns the color Magenta…

This. Gaming going mainstream was a product of the rise of Geek Entertainment. Prior to the early 2000s you were some form of mutant loser who enjoys those “kids toys” and just needed to “grow up”. Hell, you STILL find that being a broad opinion by flipping on most major news sources that treat the latest blockbuster…

Precicely because it’s so used. If he gains a trademark EVERYONE who uses it must pay HIM for the rights to do so. It’s a money making scheme, like most garbage trademarks these days.

It’s almost like people want some sort of balanced middle ground between the two extremes...

I think what helped me a bit was the idea of thinking of it like a big budget version of a goofy luchadore Batman knockoff. That pretty much makes the entirety of the movie fall in line with expectations.

On Mercurysteam, the Castlevania games are better than a lot of people give them credit for. They don’t really scratch that Castlevania itch, but they are solid games on their own. I don’t regret playing any of them, but 2's ending definitely fell in a place where it feels like they ran out of time before being able…

I think you’re underselling the notion of remasters by a smidge.

I’m actually hoping the opposite, get those dangling threads out of the way in a DLC so the sequel can start fresh. With all the potential of this world, more of the same plot with the two they pulled in that teaser with a sequel would be an utter shame. AT LEAST one of them needs to go. Preferably the one that was…

I’ve gotta say, the designs of the movie are certainly one of the cases for movies doing something better than the comics. Up till now, you’ve mostly had Wakanda portrayed as a generic technological futureland, but all the characters pretty much just wearing some African tribal garments. Which is a fine dichotomy. But…
