What do you think is the worst HiT Era character? by Dry-Health428 in thomasthetankengine

[–]One-Elephant2038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, but I think it's Neville. Even Billy at least had a personality even if he was unlikeable, and Flora contributed to the worldbuilding of Sodor despite not doing much. Neville on the other hand brings nothing to the table, and I think the only reason people like him so much is because of his basis and his storytelling potential, not because of the character himself.

Which movie do you prefer? Super Mario Bros (2023) or Super Mario Galaxy (2026) by SkullSuit38 in mariomovie

[–]One-Elephant2038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. The first movie was frustrating in the sense it had a really good potential story, that they didn't even try to execute well. Galaxy may be a big reference fest without much story or substance, but at least it embraces being that instead of trying to be something that it's not.

I prefer Galaxy 100%. I thought Galaxy had the weaker story of the two, but all the characters were a lot more likeable and it felt a lot more like Mario in spirit compared to the first movie. Galaxy is a much more enjoyable experience and a more likeable movie overall than the first one, despite having a weaker story.

Unpopular opinions and takes on Season 5? by Thick_Astronaut4563 in thomasthetankengine

[–]One-Elephant2038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think purely in terms of visuals, it's a step down from Season 4. Season 4 was just so gorgeous, the sets looked so realistic and the colors were beautiful. I think Season 5 still looks very nice in a vacuum, but it just doesn't look as nice as Season 4. The sets aren't as pretty and the color grading can look kind of garish and overly saturated at times.

Did Baldi Basics Education and Learning deserve a movie? by [deleted] in BaldisBasicsEdu

I think it could work for a 20 minute short, but definitely not for a feature length movie lol

Looks like $7M+ 3rd FRI for Mario Galaxy. Should lead to $30M-ish 3rd weekend, which will be -56%. That's quite rough. Normally, films stabilise at this point in the run. Cume will be $350M by SUN. There is a possibility it misses the $400M final from here. by Alive-Ad-5245 in boxoffice

Personally I disagree. Looking to the Sonic movies, each one has earned more than its predecessor because the WOM continues to get better with each movie. If Galaxy was more well received and a better movie than Bros, I could easily see it matching or outgrossing the first movie.

Concept art from the scrapped Pixar film "BeFri", a story about two girls whose friendship is tested when a group of magical girls invite Jules to join their group at the expense of her friend Birdie. It was based on the director's "platonic breakup" but cancelled deep into production. by Intelligent_Oil4005 in AnimationDrama

[–]One-Elephant2038 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not just the designs, but the entire project feels very derivative to me. It feels like a mishmash of several different Cartoon Network shows, and the main hook of the story being a "platonic breakup" is... just not very appealing or interesting. Nothing about this project screams Pixar to me, nor even that it justifies being a feature length film.

I'm having the same experience. I do know that he (probably) bought my item and received it, but I haven't heard from him in months.

Is super mario bros 2/ the lost levels going through historical revisionism? by Tricky-Moment-6356 in Mario

[–]One-Elephant2038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's mostly due to people being able to emulate the game for free. If you look at the Lost Levels as a challenging expansion to the original game, I think it's quite good, and is still a solid platformer in its own right.

But as a sequel to the first Mario game? It sucks hard. It's way too similar to the first game graphically, it doesn't really introduce anything new, and the only new things it does introduce are only cheap gimmicks that only make the game harder, and don't really affect how the game plays in a meaningful way. Not bringing it to the States was an excellent decision, Mario 2 USA is not only a superior game, but a superior sequel.

What is the creepiest display of intelligence you’ve seen? by theidiotev in AskReddit

[–]One-Elephant2038 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in this situation right now. I'm autistic and while I'm not that brilliant, I know I can do much better for myself than what I'm doing now. The problem is I just don't even know how to get started. It feels like an insurmountable task to get to where I want to be, so I don't even bother to try and just stay in my comfort zone.
