That too.

What happens when the solider becomes the weapon?

You could easily fill these comic bubbles with all sorts of dialogue. What really makes this comic gold is Falco’s expressions.

Imakuni?

A ghost type in a fighting game?

This is perfection.

Okay, so it sounds like there are some canon deaths, and the resurrection thing does kinda explain why some characters are still around. It’s still always been a weird pet peeve of mine when fighting games have all of these crazy moves and finishes, and the character simply shakes them off as soon as Round 2 begins.

On…

How the hell do these characters survive between game installments, let alone individual battles in story mode?

You can ignore most of the negative hype. Remember that the internet is vast echo chamber: any opinion is going to be amplified x1000. The trilogy, has a whole, is so great, that the ending just didn't meet those expectations.

Something about the somber Interstellar score playing while TARS dances with The Gender Bender is just sublime.

Biden is the real-world equivalent of that player character the tries to seduce everything.

How dare they use a trope that evokes the experience of millions of struggling young people from religious backgrounds!

I’m getting some mad Rock-a-Doodle vibes from here.

This is really amazing. The link has a bunch more Bluth-esque illustrations. I love it.

Basically, it’s a horror film that’s framed entirely in Skype video conversations by the looks of things.

Maybe this will just be a Let’s Play with ungodly high production values.

Yeah, the copyright holders are going to do what they have to do, and I understand the underlying policy that ties their hands in such a way. It’s just more challenging to explain how copyright law protects artists right after a tragic story breaks of Big Bad Corporation X shutting down Indie Darling Fan Project Y.

When I say “hard to defend”, I don’t mean “unjustified”, I mean that it’s difficult for me to defend copyright policy, rhetorically, when it’s in the wake of some tragic “big bad corporation shuts down passionate fan project” sob story.

It’s like trying to defend a specific act of foreign intervention right after a…

This story is a great demonstration of how copyright law is intended to function. It’s supposed to protect an artist’s work from being used for profit by others without permission. The policy of copyright is hard to defend when it’s a bunch of mega-corporations CADing non-profit fan projects to death, so it’s nice…
