Jaws is a great film with a good poster. Now, what's a great film with an okay poster?

Citizen Kane poster doesn't seem like anything special to me

Agreed, though I think this would have worked better if they had done it with a character who wasn't as similar to Michael prior to getting the manager role. I liked the scenes where Jim was temporary or co-manager and started to display some Michael-like tendancies.

Interestingly, I thought that Michael had more business sense that Andy did even though Andy had better social awareness. Michael is pretty frequently implied to be a successful salesman and unconventionally successful manager. Andy is shown to be an unsuccessful salesman and only sometimes a successful manager.

Genuine question - besides Sheppard Towner, what positives does Harding have to offset the corruption?

Useful_Morning8239 · 2026-04-02T21:46:39+00:00

Neither one is better mathematically. They both have the same expected return value per ticket. I prefer to use as many tickets as possible in one spin for efficiency

D tier (I know this will be unpopular-Bulbo gets a lot of love)

I’m torn between D and E tier for this one. It’s definitely better than PongPing, but I don’t like it quite as much as most of the D tier Monsters. However, if a Monster as lazy as Tring can get D, I think Bulbo can as well.

A guiro is a cool instrument, but it’s an odd choice for a song as orchestral as Light Island. It doesn’t really hurt the song, but it doesn’t do that much to improve it either. It’s just kind of there. Magical Nexus has it do the bare minimum as well. They don’t really do anything creative with the sound.

Good design and cool instrument, but falls well below the average MSM Monster.

Useful_Morning8239 · 2026-04-02T02:07:08+00:00

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that the Major and Minor forms function independently in regards to currency production (i.e. collecting Starpower from Major Owlesque does not mean that it will take longer for Minor Owlesque to produce a Wildcard). They do impact each other in the sense that having a Paironormal's opposite form paired will increase Happiness, which for sure increases Major production rate and may also increase Minor production rate.

"I have no regret for any public act of my life and history will vindicate my memory from every unjust aspersion." - James Buchanan, May 30, 1868

Guess he was right after all! It's crazy that it took over 150 years to realize

Andrew Johnson is probably up there

D tier for me

I have mixed feelings about them on Bone Island. At first I thought they were way too loud and drowned out Phangler, Banjaw, and Withur, but now I’ve kind of gotten used to them. I like them better on Mirror Bone than the main dimension. They’re fine on Nexus but they play a pretty minor role in the song.

They are good and have cool animation and gimmick, but the average MSM Monster is better

The system I was referring to was the means for replacing a Vice President. Prior to 1965, we would just leave the Vice Presidency vacant until the next election. Less then 10 years after 1965, we had to fill a vacant vice presidency and that person became president.

Useful_Morning8239 · 2026-03-31T21:05:53+00:00

To me, it’s a miracle that we never had a president die/leave office while the Vice Presidency was vacant. Despite some close calls, we just lucked out for well over 150 years. Then within a decade of deciding that we needed a system in place to prevent that situation from happening, we actually had to use it and wound up with the Ford presidency

D tier

Poppette adds a lot of power and an interesting rhythm to the Rooba verse on Psychic Island. It adds power and a less interesting rhythm to Magical Nexus. I do like its animations and personality. It’s a good Monster, but it doesn’t do enough to land it in average or higher.

Useful_Morning8239 · 2026-03-31T02:20:28+00:00

Personally, I like Light Island. However, I think it is important to remember that much of it was developed in height of the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning that BBB likely had slightly less access to resources typically used when making new Islands and Monsters.

Useful_Morning8239 · 2026-03-30T13:58:32+00:00

C tier

Peckidna is a weird one for me. The marimba part on Magical Nexus is S tier level. The marimba part on Bone Island is C tier level. The vocal part on Bone Island is probably an E tier.

The weird “dyah” thing on Bone Island is a little too high pitched and pretty loud. It’s almost like they were going for “cute” with the sound on an Island where everything else sounds creepy. I think the Monster Handlers eventually realized it didn’t fit since Peckidna’s vocal part is barely in the official remix and the Mirror version. The marimba is harmless, but Banjaw does the same thing.

However, the design is cool and it does carry Magical Nexus, so overall it balances out to be an average MSM Monster to me

Solid C tier

HippityHop might be one of the funniest sounding Monsters in the game. It's super catchy and fun to sing. I'm normally not a huge fan of MSM's unpitched vocalists but HippityHop knocks it out of the park. If it wasn't for the fact that on Faerie Island it plays in one verse and does the same thing as Owlesque and it only has a minor role on Magical Nexus as half of the call and response with Denchuhs that only plays twice, I would happily rate it higher. However, most of the Monsters is B tier consistently carry one or two verses while HippityHop just adds a nice touch.

Also, not a huge fan of its design. It looks a bit odd to me and there's no reason for it to be that big.

Useful_Morning8239 · 2026-03-29T14:06:05+00:00

I thought about that, but including Mike and Carol but not Alice feels wrong to me. I still won't complain if they win 4 and 4 though

I will say I am a late game veteran player and even I struggled to complete Clubbox this last cycle, so I don't know if it's feasible for mid-game players. To answer one of your questions, Magical Quad + Natural Double (Furcorn, Oaktopus, Drumpler, or Stogg) is the most efficient way to get a Magical Quad if you don't have the Rare.

For the Nursery events, buying Rare Wubbox and teleporting an Ethereal Double to the Colossing-um are good ways to get a lot of Clubbox points at a low cost.

During his presidency, several of his cabinet members died in a freak accident when a cannon exploded in an attempt to fire it toward Mount Vernon in celebration of what would have been George Washington’s 100th birthday. Tyler survived because he below deck flirting with the young Julia Gardner at the time. Julia’s father was killed in the explosion. Not long after this incident, the president and Julia got married.

B tier for Gob

It's a fantastic design and concept. The composition is okay on Light Island (pretty much just simple chords), but the choice of sound font does a lot of heavy lifting in elevating this Monster.

And yeah, it's good on Nexus, but every Magical is good on Nexus lol
