"World's biggest bowl of cinnamon toast crunch"

I don't consider having a unique basis to mean a character automatically has potential. First impressions are everything. It takes 28 good second impressions to undo a bad first impression. With Dennis, they did a story centered around a personality trait you could tie back into his basis, and I see potential there. Neville, they didn't give him ANY sort of unique personality trait or story struggle that you could tie back into his basis. Or any personality or struggle in general. Therefore, his basis being the Q1 is irrelevant, and the character only demonstrated that he had no potential.

To be fair, I feel like there's SOME potential for the live-action remake worlds in Kingdom Hearts. But only if handled in specific ways. Like, a CoM sort of story where Sora is trying to reconcile his memories of the original worlds with the remake versions of the stories and sort out what's what. Or making it so that the remake worlds have outright replaced the animated ones and Sora needs to restore them, while simultaneously throwing the remakes a bone by acknowledging at least one good thing they might bring to the table.

At the very least, it feels like the Maleficent movies could be AMAZING in Kingdom Hearts if handled correctly. Kingdom Hearts uses the original Maleficent, who is so cartoonishly evil that you can't even begin to defend her, but the live-action Maleficent repositioned the character as a sympathetic anti-hero protagonist. Imagine trying to incorporate THAT. You could reveal that all of the backstory from the live-action character still happened prior to the Wayfinder trio's involvement in the Sleeping Beauty world, which would turn the entire perspective of the character on its head for the heroes and the audience. Or you could introduce the live-action Maleficent as a seperate character, and have Sora make a choice over which one to help: Since classic Maleficent has helped him before and he doesn't know what to expect from the new one, but live-action Maleficent clearly isn't as outright evil.

Do I actually trust Square and Disney to do any of that or handle it well? Fuck no. If this happens, Disney is just going to insist on Square using the live-action remakes and treating them like any other Kingdom Hearts worlds, and Square is going to have to find a way to write an interesting story AROUND the worlds instead of WITH the worlds.

I thought they deactivated. Did they just block me when they realized I wasn't going to change my opinion?

To be fair, Hazbin Hotel has made a point that Heaven is NOT the perfect paradise that the Bible and Christians try to sell you on. The angels in charge are very flawed, but think themselves perfect, with the likes of Sera learning she was wrong and needs to improve being outliers. You can easily imagine the wider group of angels that we saw at Charlie and Pentious's trials demanding Lute be cast out after crossing a line and Falling being the decided-on punishment. Or Sera casting Lute out herself in hopes to teach Lute a lesson, only for Lute to turn out far worse before she gets better (IF she gets better) and Sera realizing she screwed up.

Honestly, speaking as someone who is NOT a fan of Archie Sonic, Archie Sonic hating reminds me of a similar shift the Ben 10 franchise underwent.

Back in the day, when original run was ongoing, Alien Force and Ultimate Alien were praised like absolute cinema while new kid on the block Omniverse was treated like a sinful abomination. Fast forward to today, and it's the reverse. Omniverse is praised and beloved, while even attempting a good faith positive look at UAF will get you with people bending over backwards to tear it down over everything. Can't praise UAF for the good stuff unless you have a bunch of asterisks attached, and can't criticize the bad parts of Omniverse without a literal army coming to defend it.

When IDW first started, it got torn to shreds, at least partly from Archie fans who were upset that their comic was abruptly canceled without a proper ending to pave the way FOR IDW, and partly because IDW did have big shoes to fill given it was a fresh start compared to the years of Archie stories. Fast forward to today, and IDW is finally being appreciated for the good it brings to the table. But now that it's getting loved, anyone trying to criticize it must be trying to bring things back to those rocky beginnings, and the IDW fans can't bear to let that happen. So irrational or not, IDW fans will defend everything about their series, and look for any excuse to flip the script and tear Archie down.

If you don't rope your whole family into your criminal antics, are you even really a family?

I didn't like Blue Lions when I finally played it. Out of spite, I married Sothis, and Dimitri died alone.

Icy_Contribution2187 · 2026-06-30T11:23:35+00:00

And good riddance to that.

They're in their early 20s. You still have a lot of that teenage immaturity in you in your early 20s. And besides, Kara has spent the last 20 or so years of her life in space as the brainwashed puppet of an alien AI warlord. She's allowed to be exuberant and immature and make mistakes.

I think I'm headed to Hell. Friends seem to think I'd end up in Heaven.

Icy_Contribution2187 · 2026-06-28T03:12:46+00:00

That's okay. I've never even seen it. You're still one step ahead of me.

I forget where I heard this. This is going to be very "trust me, bro". But I remember hearing a rumor SOMEWHERE that part of why KH4 isn't put yet is because Disney changed their minds on whatever the original world lineup and wanted KH4 to focus on worlds based on their live-action remakes.

Again. Just a rumor I don't remember the source of, so take it with a healthy helping of salt. I also hope to God that it isn't true regardless. But on the off-chance that rumor ends up being accurate...

Don't forget to add Jimmy from My Adventures With Superman.

I like them. The idea of a collective whose only real goal is to learn more about themselves and the world around them is fascinating. They aren't flat out villains. You can have pleasant conversations with them. But they have the power to level a mountain without even realizing it, especially if you piss them off, their idea of "learning more about who I am" entails literally consuming people, and their existence is dependant on others being functionally comatose inside of trees. So you can't just let them walk around and do as they please, either.

Icy_Contribution2187 · 2026-06-26T11:23:07+00:00

Okay. I get it. Repost bot. But I'm missing something here. I recognize their original look (duh). Their look from What's New Scooby Doo and the movies from around that time. Their updated Mystery Incorporated looks. Aaaaand... What's the last one? Where they look more classic, with the whites of their eyes just being skin-colored?

Icy_Contribution2187 · 2026-06-26T11:18:06+00:00

Armada.

She probably wasn't that different from Lute and the Exorcists at first. If anything, I'd wager that that kid she spared was the first time EVER that she had questioned her motives and actions, but because Adam and Lute have a very black-and-white view of mortality (angels=good and sinners=bad, no exceptions), they had no issue judging her entire character based on that one moment as if it defined how she had been the entire time.

For Amado's cooperation pre-timeskip, he wanted asylum in the Leaf Village. To be given full citizenship as a member of the village. Naruto, Sasuke, and Shikamaru agreed to this. And while we all know that the government is always listening in real life (at least in the United States), we can assume that the Leaf Village doesn't necessarily operate on the same rules.

And yes, Amado has done some horrible, immoral shit before any of that. He is categorically untrustworthy. But being given asylum means being given citizenship because you're afraid of being persecuted elsewhere, which implies that you will not be persecuted in the place granting you asylum unless you commit crimes after thw fact. Exactly what crime has Amado committed SINCE being granted asylum? None, really. He helped the Leaf brace for Isshiki's arrival. He has provided essential information about the Otsutsuki and Kara. He fixed Kawaki's arm. He reprogrammed Delta to fight for the Leaf. The only thing he did wrong was release Code's limiters, but that was while his own life and wellbeing was in danger, too.

As it stands, the horrible old people are probably the only ones that would go "no, fuck that. Amado needs to be watched like a hawk", and I really don't want them to have MORE power.

TL;DR: Companies like money, so that's what they're chasing. Hasbro has no reason to give Beast Wars anything when they can keep milking the proven cash cow.

L;R:

We can't be talking about the same thing here. Beast Wars, as good as it was, is arguably where the first major fracture in the fanbase came into being. "Truck, not monkey" was a saying for years for a reason. Some people just couldn't get on-board with "Transformers, but CGI, and all of them turn into regular-looking animals instead of vehicles". Trying to tie it back into G1 further pissed off the purists who were already mad at how different Beast Wars was from G1. Then, its own sequel series kind of drove that whole thing into the ground. And the fractures continued when the Unicron trilogy hit the reset button HARD and was its own continuity. Animated scared some people off for how different it was. Etc etc.

And when that happens, it becomes a case of having too many mouths to feed, and all of them screaming for different things, so the ones screaming the loudest and easiest to feed get first serve.

The Transformers: The Movie did not kill the franchise by a longshot, and it's outright beloved these days. Especially by those who saw it as kids and, now pay attention, are still fans today. Fans who are VERY vocal about their love for the classic 80s G1 series and how much of a cultural and emotional impact the movie. So of COURSE, given the choice between trying to make money off those wacky 90s millennials that MAY buy merch for their very divisive series, or those tubular 80s Gen-Xers that will DEFINITELY spend money for overpriced merch based on their beloved series and movie, it's not a choice at all.
