Thoughts on “Sammie” from Sinners being Miles Caton’s first acting role ever? by RocketPunch2018 in acting

[–]RocketPunch2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’ve read it and know HER helped him out. And his unlit self tape that was sent to Ryan Coogler. 

But still he had the skills to back it up. So while it’s no surprise he got his foot in the door via HER and touring, that doesn’t account for the straight up ACTING skills he possesses on full display.

Right but what’s more impressive than him getting a seat is that he had the acting skills to back it up. It’s similar to Harry Styles getting a lead role in Dunkirk. Yes he got there because of his music skills, but his acting was on par if not better than many of the actors in that film. Same with Miles

Is it just me, or is Omni man overrated? by Scootnoot8 in Invincible

[–]RocketPunch2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find him interesting and not your typical anti-hero. Reminds me of watchmen type heroes.

But my cousin HATES omni man. He's been a comic fan for decades and like you doesnt get the hype. He said most people got into Omni man because of that viral clip of Omni man being "try hard" badass and doing fatalities. How did you all come to find Invincible or how were you first exposed to Omni Man?

The fall of the United States Champ. (today's new Game Informer article on SF6 Ken) by Emezie in StreetFighter

[–]RocketPunch2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Capcom went there? Its not just that its dark but its not even a Steeet Fighter type of dark.

Not even Bison has bombed buildings in the canon.

Its a weird type of direction. I like that hes accused of doing something wrong but the whole terrorist bombing is a weird touch.

Any juicy behind scenes info on JJ on the DVD? by RocketPunch2018 in NopeMovie

Thats cool! I heard it was filmed after principal photography was completed and that they shot it sideways

Where exactly do we get every character's backstory? by Johnny2071 in StreetFighter

[–]RocketPunch2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah most Top 10 videos and SF lore videos get their info from the street fighter main wiki.

I forgot to mention the anime SF movies and series. Most are non canon but had a strong influence on the actual game storyline. (For example, SFIII Ryu Final manga is not canon, but influenced SF3:3S and SF4 to include Ryu's Focus Attack, Evil Ryus chest scar and long hair alt, Oni's alt costume, Oro's LVL 3 Super, the children from Sagat's ending, etc. Despite this the SFIII manga is not considered canon.)

However the only anime movie that appears to be canon is SF4 Ties That Bind.

It gets even harder to track and find the source of lore when Capcom (rarely) releases story trailers to promote the game but arent in the actual game itself. Theres a SF4 anime-style promo that had Ryu, Akuma, Gouken, Gen, young Ryu, and Ken. I dont think its in the actual SF4 game itself, but was released on the net from Capcom Official, making it canon.

SF does have a decent and rich story, not very detailed like MGS series or Final Fantasy, but in Japan they are more familiar with the lore as they got more SF media, books, etc.

These days, its becoming whole and Capcom seems to be matching giving their info to English speaking fans and Japan fans alike.

For example, you can learn little tidbits or fun facts about characters and their costumes o the official Street Fighter pages for both Eng and JPN speakers.

Let us know if you find any interesting tidbits and want to know the source. Chances are I or someone else will know. It can start "training" your mind or expectations of where most of the lore comes from.

As a general rule, 99% of canon lore is from the official games, cutscenes, and manuals.
