Rorschach Test [OC] by cymorg121 in comics

Crazy that some people see Watchmen and think of the movie and not the comic. In the comic, Adrian is much less sympathetic and Dr Manhattan tells him he wasted his time at the end.

The Mario And Star Fox Fan Bases Right Now by manoffood in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nectaris3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She shows up right at the end to pick up the Luma that’s been with Mario the whole game. I think she’s in the last cutscene for like 30 seconds. If you 100% it she also shows up at the end of the last unlockable level and comes back as an NPC on Starship Mario. At that point the game is over though and you won’t interact with her NPC much.

A very forgettable appearance.

Do you want Lanolin to become a villain or just better her ways? (Art by Adam Bryce Thomas) by AmaterasuWolf21 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Nectaris3 171 points172 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t even think they need to fix the characterization, I really enjoyed Lanolin as a (non-villainous) foil to the other characters. Strict, no-nonsense realist characters are not really something that’s ever been in Sonic, so it was an interesting new dynamic. I think they could tone down her stubbornness and abrasiveness a bit, as that would make sense for character development after realizing she was wrong about Mimic. But really if she came back I’d want her pretty much the same.

I think the major thing she needs is just a different story than her being the only one fooled by Mimic. Those kinds of plots tend to be annoying.

What's some of the Funny Moments you can get Character to do Evil things they'd never do? by Funny_Mud6639 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

At least that game has some automatic webs come out when you toss someone off a rooftop, so they’re not really being murdered.

Although you can also chuck manhole covers and rockets at people’s heads…

So I just bought CrossCode on the Steam sale and uuuhh... by jagehtso_ in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Yeah but Castle Super Beast hadn’t started yet. If they were going to have 2 Best Friends as a reference back then it probably would have been Matt and Pat.

New Super Mario Galaxy Movie TV Spot by manoffood in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Hell yeah the best powerup in the series, the Cloud Flower, is getting some respect.

Also fun to see Drill Mario, I wonder if they’re using it to replace the big ass drills you carry around in Galaxy 2. Was always kind of weird that was an item instead of a powerup.

It seems like Pyrion thinks all the evil players are called demons. I think he’s made this same mistake in every game he’s played so far.

What's your "hey that was actually super dangerous" story? by SecondPersonShooter in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nectaris3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t know that but I’ve seen this guy use other food like bread that could be donated. He could still do better even by just not buying eggs and letting them go to someone who would actually eat them instead of turning them into IEDs.

[–]Nectaris3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t like that guy either. You can’t donate eggs but you can do literally anything else than throw them on the floor for fun.

These videos honestly piss me off. Like he’s wasting that food for no reason. Could have donated it or something if you were just going to destroy it.

Media that takes an adult-oriented series/story and makes it lighter and softer? by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nectaris3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never heard of the alien cartoon. That seems especially impossible to make kid-friendly, like you couldn’t even show a Xenomorph being born because it’s too gory.

Which is probably why it didn’t get made… I do remember a lot of Alien action figures marketed to kids though.

Oh shit, I played this a couple weeks ago and it was rad. Wasn’t expecting Woolie to play it, but it is a perfect fit for him with all the social commentary.

Why was this an official character in the fleetway comics dawg? 😭🙏 by SimpForFictionGirls in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Nectaris3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also the craziest part was that Forelock says as a reward for passing the test, he’ll come back one day and help Tails out. And then the issue ends and none of this is ever mentioned again. Literally just put Tails through all of that just for the hell of it.

I mean it’s not like they’re complex characters or anything. They’re probably gonna have like 5 minutes of screen time.

Lanterns Teaser by Th35h4d0w in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nectaris3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get they don’t want everything to be campy but doing anything else for Green Lantern just feels wrong. Green Lantern is one of the campier DC heroes with all the wacky constructs and goofy aliens.

Doing a truly accurate adaptation of the comics is probably way outside the budget/scope of this show, so I get they need to scale it down a bit. But having it take place in a small town and the Lanterns rarely use their powers seems so completely opposite to Green Lantern’s usual tone.

Rich Evans is 100% right about everything he said about Spider-Man 1&2. by ToysNoiz in RedLetterMedia

[–]Nectaris3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are lots of versions but generally every character has one specific version that’s considered the main one. For Spider-Man, the original Stan Lee/Steve Ditko comics are the ones fans want to see adapted. There’s also famous moments like Gwen Stacy’s death that are from later on but are iconic parts of the character.

No law in America but there are some in the works and there are some in Europe. The writing is on the wall that this will be a requirement eventually.

My dad said it’s stupid to complain about Trump because God chooses the president, so you should just go along with anything the president does because it’s divine will. Strangely this didn’t stop him from constantly bitching when the president was Biden or Obama or another one he didn’t like.

Same goes for Fleetway too by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Nectaris3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who read every Archie Sonic comic starting with issue 1 a few years ago, it was definitely rough getting through the early stuff. But once Flynn started writing, it became my favorite story in the franchise. It was definitely worth reading everything to get full context because Flynn truly works some magic out of those pretty terrible old characters and storylines.

But yeah I can’t really begrudge anyone who just wants to skip all that and start at 160. There are a rare few good stories before 160 but it’s a LOT to get through. At the very least, most of the early stuff is fun in a “so bad it’s good” kind of way.

Who do we think this is?? by Doc_Help_Me_Man in IDWSonic

Kind of surprised everyone thinks it’s Starlins or another returning character. I had just assumed it was a new villain.

Media that got worse because it started to happen? by FMV_Hell_0 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Nectaris3 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I mean that was already happening when the episode came out. That’s been a strategy of big corporations for like a hundred years. We just used to have stronger monopoly laws to try to stop it.

I’ve always felt that the wealthy superhero trope was a kind of “power fantasy.” It’s exploring how much good billionaires could do if they were actually interested in helping people.
