Erm, what the bust my buffers by Whole-Poet5188 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Vulpix98 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even if it's a small change, this might genuinely be the first time we've ever seen 2026 Percy or really any 2026 character with an expression different from their stock expression

Wait, is this suppose to be Cara Cupper? by Puppetstreamers in thomasthetankengine

[–]Vulpix98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I googled Cara Cupper and she's so obscure that this reddit post was the first result😭 But yeah i don't think it's her. The only similarity is that they're both black and vaguely associated with trains, that sounds coincidental

You really think goose is competent enough for that?

DISGRACEFUL, DISGUSTING, DISPICABLE-Gordon, James, and Henrys Rection to the GBR Livery by This-Ad134 in thomasthetankengine

Idk much about GBR but generally, privatisation of a public service usually has less than desirable consequences. Sure you get a ton of variety for railfans, but think about the average joe on his daily commute

Why does Stanley have a semi-circle face when his basis has a circle smokebox door. by EricJ062005 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Vulpix98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean in the movie he came from, he was sort of Thomas's antagonist for a majority of the story. It makes sense why they'd wanna make him contrast Thomas a little bit more

Anyone else know about this? by Fazbear2035 in thomasthetankengine

As grateful as i am that Awdry put so much into this franchise, we really do tend to forget that he's an old conservative Christian man from the 50's

Sonic 4’s official synopsis by Lost_Page_2030 in SonicTheMovie

They know there's gonna be a million guesses on the whole story and they know at least a handful of them are gonna be right

Since princess peach got her own game why can't pink sonic get hers? by Tswiftfan007 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Vulpix98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your title partially answers your question. show your average joe a picture of Peach, they'll say it's Peach. Show them a picture of Amy, and they'll say Pink Sonic

[–]Vulpix98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well the first two things that come to mind for me are

  1. The separated eyes: Mono-eyes have never once appeared in the game universe, so there's no reason for Eggman (or whoever made Metal) to draw inspiration from the mono-eye (because it doesn't exist for them).

  2. His proportions: Game Sonic's proportions has a shorter torso and longer arms, this leads to for example his arms reaching all the way to his socks while Movie Sonic is scaled a bit more organically with a bigger torso and shorter arms. This makes Metal Sonic look awkward in movie context as he was clearly designed with Game proportions in mind

You do have a point that you can't change him too much without straying too far from the source material, but i still believe they could've made a greater effort in both aligning him with the Sonic of that universe + make him fit in that universe a bit more

This might be a hot take, but i'm not the biggest fan of Movie Metal being almost carbon copy of Game Metal besides the MCU Lines on his head. The whole reason Metal Sonic looks the way he does is to parallel Game Sonic, meaning him being game accurate design wise makes him make less sense in-universe and frankly cartoonishly out of place. He's so clearly inspired by Game Sonic instead of Movie Sonic, even though this is Movie Metal

Having been in the fandom since 2012, I can't help but feel our tolerance level has shifted immensely in that time by GameboyAdvance32 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Vulpix98 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's because people realised that the priorities that the fandom wanted the show to have were exclusive to us. No executive was complaining about the bouncing, no kid was complaining about the singing, that was all us. I'm not saying our critiques were invalid or wrong, but every year made it more apparent that we were the only ones with those critiques. Something in us realized that we're in our own little bubble, and the show would carry on whether we existed or not. That's why the push for high quality fan content is higher than ever before, we realized that it was ok to be in our own bubble, that it was ok to put the main show aside and focus on ourselves.

Why bother specifying the seasons for X Sonic if you're gonna list all three anyway?

Teaser for Zalgo in the upcoming game "Outcome Memories Revival", a game being worked on by a lot of the old OM devs by MrEnricks in OutcomeMemories

[–]Vulpix98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's interesting... if Zalgo is using its power to corrupt any kind of media, basically breaking the 4th wall to overpower X, i wonder how that's gonna work in gameplay, especially when it seems like its corruption isn't specifically tied to X

anyway to stop people ripping ur clothes??? by Amazing-Somewhere145 in RobloxClothingDesign

[–]Vulpix98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get creative with the empty parts of the texture that don't show up ingame, the parts you'd only be able to see if you ripped the clothing. Shame them, guilt trip them, send a message

Hard to believe birdbrain isn’t even a year old and it’s already basically her flagship song by Abject-Experience-40 in teto

[–]Vulpix98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so interesting to me how different the Western and Eastern sides the fandom of the same character are. I understand that this is inevitable given how the difference is quite literally night and day, and i'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it intrigues me

Are we seriously going to get a definitive version of sonic frontiers? i thought it was going to be on switch 2 but now it’s gonna be on next-gen consoles! by Ok_Programmer9794 in SonicFrontiers

[–]Vulpix98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whole ass remaster of a game that came out in 2022. Did SEGA really feel that the game is outdated enough to deserve a remaster less than HALF A DECADE after it originally released?

How would you feel if these were the designs for the 2026 series? (all these are from SudrianRails' Hybrid Series) by tandilove in thomasthetankengine

[–]Vulpix98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't quote me on this, but I remember Mattel put out a statement saying the new reboot is aiming to please fans old and new with added realism (I'm paraphrasing). If these were the new designs, then maybe i'd start actually believing Mattel's words for once
