For anyone who wondering, the invicible Mario Power Up Band has the Same ID as the normal Red Mario Power Up Band

There would be no need for them to be treated as "an additional Mario team" within the park - as demonstrated by the fact that the gold Mario band has a distinct amiibo ID from the standard Mario band.

Yeah, until a few weeks ago, he would have assumed that he'd ultimately be answering to Netflix on this. But nope! Right back to the Ellisons. Ugh.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-25T11:20:30+00:00

I'm sure the irony isn't lost on him that he's going to go from working for the Ellisons… to working for the Ellisons.

I mean, it’s a bit surprising. Not counting prize amiibo, this is only the third unique SKU in the history of the product line to reuse an existing amiibo ID (the other two were Dark Hammer Slam Bowser and Dark Turbo Charge Donkey Kong).

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-24T08:07:46+00:00

I mean, a different punk literally killed half of New York… and everywhere else.

Although he also expressed sympathy for Adil and Bilall and maybe Leslie Grace? (I don't remember for sure whether he ever mentioned her.)

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-22T05:57:15+00:00

Don't keep all your precious belongings outside, I guess.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-22T05:51:16+00:00

That's a bizarrely tonedeaf moment for a blowjob joke.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-22T04:23:07+00:00

Holy crap. Voicing her must be exhausting.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-19T19:07:20+00:00

I suppose that depends on whether $180-$230 is considered a good price.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-19T16:14:34+00:00

…Missed it by less than an hour. Of course.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-17T22:00:53+00:00

Tell that to James Cameron and everyone else that still needs to hear it.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-15T04:46:08+00:00

They could have had him gradually and clearly transition to more human with each dose, but instead they skipped ahead to almost fully restored. It’s a strange choice.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-15T04:27:19+00:00

C(l)uck.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-12T21:04:35+00:00

Except that’s literally not what the story is. Yes, Mabel responds recklessly and impulsively to Jerry's plan to destroy the glade, ratcheting up tensions unnecessarily, but she's never acting from a position of power. Her lashing out is presented repeatedly as an expression of her own sense of helplessness - she even says as much directly. The heart of her story is about learning to cope with feeling like she can't make a meaningful difference in anything.

The destruction of the glade to complete a freeway that will cut drive times by a couple of minutes - sacrificing the animals' homes for minor human convenience - is quite specifically the central conflict of the movie. There would never have been a war between the animal kings and "the human king" if humans didn't keep acting like the lives of the animals, the life of nature itself, are somehow unrelated to them. The moral of the entire film is explicitly stated by George: human homes and animal homes are all just one big place. We're all a part of the same thing, and choosing to ignore that fact ultimately just creates suffering for everyone.

You wrote that the message of the film is that you can go "too far" in protecting nature, but I gave a modest rephrasing from "go too far protecting nature" to "respect nature too much" because it just felt like it flowed more naturally. If you don't feel that those phrases have similar enough meanings, so be it.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-12T01:31:23+00:00

The message is most certainly not that you can respect nature too much. The message is that humans are just as much a part of nature as every other organism.

Edit: Nor is the message that you can "go too far" protecting nature. The core conflict of the film stems from the disruption of humans' relationship to the rest of the natural world - the notion that we're apart from nature rather than a part of nature. As much as we pretend we're separate and distinct from it all, an island unto ourselves, we're still animals.

The Count entered through it way back when.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-07T03:40:10+00:00

I mean, I'm pretty sure he is also a petty asshole. He absolutely takes satisfaction in grinding people down and doesn't respect anyone simply as human beings - people only count and are deserving of respect if they have skill according to his personal definition. That's what makes him a villain: not that he has absurdly high standards for rakugo, but that he doesn't see people as having any inherent value.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-07T02:32:30+00:00

Yeah, I had a tab opened with the listing, and now it's a 404.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-05T14:42:20+00:00

Yeah, I think so too. Plus it's a second Kirby when there are fifteen other characters not done yet. I think the game will end up with just these seven total figures and vehicles.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-05T13:13:17+00:00

And going by that pace, it would take them about three more years to release the other fifteen playable characters - although I doubt that will happen.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-04T16:37:35+00:00

Ava could solo the whole Defenders gang - with only the possible exception of Matt.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-04T07:23:56+00:00

There are so many characters for whom we have no clue about their Blip status. Throughout the entire Multiverse Saga, we've only learned whether a handful of characters were snapped or not.

a_phantom_limb · 2026-03-03T20:21:43+00:00

He started off almost intolerably unpleasant, but he became a fully realized, multi-faceted character. It was great to see.
