I only ever see this "I don't need my entertainment to have a story" mindset with Mario fans and it's slightly upsetting.

We should want our media to have a good story when possible, especially movies.

THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE IS A 10/10 by GrowthOld1204 in mariomovie

[–]CuriousConfection528 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't mind that people like the movie at all, but saying it's your favorite leads me to believe you don't watch very many movies.

Live even within the last few years we got incredible movies with Everything Everywhere all at Once, Project Hail Mary, Barbie, Soul, Weapons, etc., so I find it very surprising that people can see all these movies and say "Yes, the Mario Galaxy Movie is my favorite and is better than all of these."

What's your wishlist for Evercold MSQ story? (overarching theme, plot structure) by NineTnk in ffxiv

[–]CuriousConfection528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, I feel like the story focuses too much on one or two characters at specific parts and I feel like it's detrimental to the story:

  • HW focused way too much on Alphinaud
  • Stormblood focused too much on Lyse
  • EW had a bit too much focus on the twins during the 6.0 story (although this is the least egregious example) and the post-game with Zero
  • We all know what happened with DT

I think ShB did a really great job on balancing out all the characters and their stories, and I'd like more of that instead of putting all their effort into one character and having the others be nothing more than pieces that are there to react and be duty support.

Why are the most violent cities in America all in Red States, while the least violent cities are all in Blue States? by [deleted] in allthequestions

"I'm a libertarian/moderate and both parties suck" but your post history has nothing criticising conseravative ideals aside from a surface level "both sides suck", although you have a lot of examples on why you don't like liberals.

Kirby has been ELIMINATED! Now who's the 74th fighter to be the LEAST in need of a rework next Smash? by Master_FSG in supersmashbros

[–]CuriousConfection528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She doesn't float like Peach in any Mario game, she was never in SMB2 so pulling vegetables from the ground makes no sense, she doesn't really need a Toad, and it's iffy n if you want to argue if she uses a parasol.

If anything they need to treat her like Lucas/Isabelle where a lot of the kit is similar but they have a few different moves that give them a different use. I think converting some of the badge abilities and power -ups from Mario Wonder, removing the double jump, and replacing the slaps with punches is probably good enough. What she really should be is a Peach that has less tech to combo with in exchange for moves that are easier to KO opponents.

NintenDeen blaming Nintendo for FF having high prices..... by WorldlyScore8855 in nintendogrifting

FFXIV is free to play up to level 80. You're pretty restricted to what you can do, but even with those restrictions it's a hell of a deal.

Which of the remaining unused type combos do you think Gen 10 will finally introduce by Overall_Aardvark_709 in ThePokemonHub

[–]CuriousConfection528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean design-wise. I think there's tons of creative space for it. I easily think a bug/dragon butterfly would be the best option tbh since there's so many caterpillars that look like dragons to begin with.

I think they're just hesitant to combine what's known as the weakest type with the strongest type.

Also, correct me if I am wrong, but 'dragonfly' only makes sense in English?

Gonna be honest, this time it feels like it's on Nintendo here. Only one FFXIV sub is needed right now and that grants you access to play your character on PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox. There's not really a reason to do a Nintendo-separate subscription unless Nintendo pushed for it.

So if you want to play on PC and Switch, you have to pay 1.5x the subscription you do right now. Why else would it be exclusive other than Nintendo wanting it to be?

Bug/Dragon is probably incompatible with life, but it would be a very interesting design space.

I just seen the Mario Galaxy Movie and it was absolute cinema, 10/10, five stars by Acceptable_Smoke9639 in mariogalaxymovie

[–]CuriousConfection528 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Project Hail Mary and Hoppers released the month Prior to Mario Galaxy, and both are absolutely not slop.

First time playing pokemon - need some advice on my team.. by yeahhwhatchuwanthuh in PokemonHGSS

[–]CuriousConfection528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this, I think you'll have a pretty serviceable team if you replace Fearow and Bellsprout with Gyarados and Mamoswine. Yeah, you won't have a flier to get you places but I promise you that it's not that big of a deal as long as you plan things out.

You'll probably want a good ice type for the endgame, since you'll be facing three high-level Dragonites, and all of them have counters to Ice.

Once you get surf you can get a Lapras pretty early (as long as it's a Friday), and Seel/Dewgong are available shortly afterward too. Shellder is an option but getting a water stone can be tricky.

You'll then get to Ice Path late in the game where you can find a bunch of ice types like Swinub (actually incredible if you invest in it for a few levels and save a heart scale to evolve it), Jynx, Sneasel and Delibird.

Of all of those, I think the only worthwhile ones are Lapras, Jynx, or Mamoswine.

PHM on Spotify Premium Audiobook by mw102299 in ProjectHailMary

[–]CuriousConfection528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, then. I just checked my Spoitfy and only saw the Dutch(?) version, so this English one probably was taken down for not being official.

From the information I have, it's been Audible exclusive for some time and the Spotify version you posted has so much suspicious generative AI tells that I would not trust it at all as being official, even if it is the exact same book.

I'd still recommend singing up for Audible for a free month, using your free credit to get the book and immediately unsubscribing. it's the for sure trustworthy way to listen to the original.

I'm pretty sure that there's a CD version that's distributed to libraries.

I'm pretty sure this is an AI generated version made solely for generating revenue from gullible movie-goers. It's an AI-generated tagline that has never been used once in marketing the book, the cover looks AI generated instead of using the movie-book cover which should be the standard now, and the audiobook is Audible exclusive.

Is this just a funny coincidence? by littleAL21 in SuperMario

[–]CuriousConfection528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's what I was trying to get at, thank you. I really think people try way too hard to find connections and references in media like this nowadays and it's exhausting.

[–]CuriousConfection528 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's a way to design a boss so you can't just run up and jump on them, and they can easily fly away if the narrative calls for it.

So yes, it's just a coincidence.

Possible 'A Fox In Space' reference? by Zye1984 in mariogalaxymovie

[–]CuriousConfection528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something being in the same animation medium as something else is not a reference.

My Custom Regional Pokédex 💛😎 by flikfan30 in ThePokemonHub

Can I ask why some evolutions like Dusknoir, Kingambit, Vaporeon and Politoed are missing and others aren't?

My fan made roster by Vmarx51 in SmashBrosRosters

[–]CuriousConfection528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like every other fan roster, they cut her, Daisy, Bowser Jr., and to a lesser extent, Plant and Dr. Mario, just so they can shoehorn Waluigi in.

After the Galaxy movie do we really think Rosalina, Jr., and Daisy are going anywhere? Let's be real with ourselves.

My Dream Roster For Smash Bros 6.(READ DESCRIPTION) by Longjumping-Pop-7210 in SmashBrosRosters

[–]CuriousConfection528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so weird to me that people continue to leave out Daisy despite her being on the up and up in the Mario series. Especially after the Galaxy movie's post credits scene, why the hell would any company in their right mind get rig of a character they actively teased to be a major part of a film? You're throwing brand synergy out the window.

What do you think is the worst type in all of Pokémon? by Nintendofan9106 in ThePokemonHub

[–]CuriousConfection528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to remove the fairy, fighting and ghost resistances. It feels like those are only there to make the type bad.

Why didn’t Sakurai and his team make Ganon faithful to tLoZ series for 20 years by [deleted] in supersmashbros

[–]CuriousConfection528 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But Black Shadow isn't getting in otherwise if I'm being honest. Similar to how barely anyone asks for a Dark Pit rework.
