Agreed.

“Fake Superman fights a dragon.”

Strikers is actually really cool, gameplay wise. The visual style and music are still there, the cooking mechanic still exists to give different buffs and the story, while not revolutionary, is memorable. It’s different from a lot of Warriors-style games in that it’s more similar to dungeon/ palace progression from…

I can confirm that it is, in fact, a gacha game. The website and other press details on it from the past have mentioned it. No details specifically on WHAT the gacha itself will be, but people are speculating that it will be Persona/Demon summoning.

It’s a 7 year old game. I’m surprised that you even made it this far without getting spoiled.

And I’m actually still on my very first playthrough and have read that reveal years ago.

Want to say, this list is fine but some missing things I want to add.

all the statues are anatomically correct. Yes, especially Totoro.

yeah in the original series the turtles felt like grown ass men still living at home

I’m not going to ignore the “Seth Rogen stuff” cause I think his sensibilities are a good fit for what this movie looks like it’s trying to do. I like the emphasis here of them being kids right on the edge of being teens. I’m excited; anything to rinse the taste of the terrible recent Bay-produced live action films…

Yeah, “kids first, ninjas second” is a great twist on the franchise and I’m surprised they haven’t tried it sooner.

It isn’t exactly accurate that the ARPA funds in question were for COVID response. These ARPA State & Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) dollars can also be used on any government costs that could have otherwise been funded by regular government revenues (taxes, license fees, etc), as a replacement for revenues that…

I had TMNT manhole covers as a boy!  Mine came in a 4-pack too and I wore em every day I could

With your knees, not your back.

Here’s my regular reminder that you people have a problem with capitalism, not a problem with technology. All this pearl clutching over displaced artists completely misses the point that in a just world, the artists could continue to make their art without the threat of poverty and new technology like this wouldn’t…

These are their US GAAP financials - meaning their inventory has to be valued at the lowest value of what it cost to produce it or what reasonable market value is and they would be audited on whatever method they chose to go to. So its not based on their retail price if that is what you were thinking.

To be fair, it’s a fad that’s lasted a long time. My friend gifted me the movie Avengers for Christmas one year and that was probably 2012. They’d already been around for a few years before that I think.

nobody with an ounce of integrity collects these for real

I think we’re due a new Shaolin Monks by now

Yes, but I think they’re trying way too hard because people are basically demanding it. Commenters, reviewers, and bloggers just spent 2+ years writing every single movie/show off as “spinning their wheels” and “not introducing the next story”. The fact is that the Infinity Saga was a lot of disconnected, standalone…

Weren’t we all saying the same thing circa-Ultron and then eventually pieces came together and it was great? I think there are some rose colored glasses on about how great the MCU used to be that is feeding some of this.
